A second after tapping the screen, the screen popped up with over a hundred search results, indicating everything was going smoothly.
In this technologically advanced society, where short videos are extremely popular, there are many fighters skilled in judo who are willing to teach basic moves online, gaining attention and traffic.
Though the effectiveness of online tutorials may not compare to face-to-face instruction at a martial arts school, and the entry difficulty may be higher, there is one major advantage: it's free!
Soon, many related videos appeared.
Chen Feng's gaze fixed as he clicked on the homepage of a blogger with over 100,000 followers.
[Flame Tiger Martial Arts School — Core Student, Cao Tong]
[Professional Level 6 Fighter, Honors: Nanjiang Medium Weight Boxing Tournament Runner-up, City Judo Champion...]
A series of impressive credentials followed.
"Core student of Flame Tiger Martial Arts School?"
"Professional level 6, isn't this even stronger than Coach Lu?"
Chen Feng recalled that when the original body registered for the sparring training class, he had specifically looked into Coach Lu's abilities.
Coach Lu was a level 2 professional, with a punch power close to 300 kg, and had once sent a 100 kg sandbag flying several meters with a single punch.
In comparison, this blogger, Cao Tong, was undoubtedly stronger.
"Let's try it and see how he teaches."
With the intent to learn, Chen Feng found a series of beginner judo tutorial videos on the blogger's homepage.
Clicking play, the screen displayed a burly man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a square face, high nose bridge, and a crew cut.
His lips were thick, his eyes sharp, and his white judo Gi looked stretched and puffed out.
"Judo techniques can be divided into three types."
"Standing techniques, ground techniques, and body defense techniques."
His voice was deep, and Chen Feng focused on his explanations and demonstrations.
"Among them, standing techniques mainly consist of hand techniques, waist techniques, foot techniques, and sacrifice techniques."
"Arm pulls, waist throws, foot entanglements..."
In the video, Cao Tong quickly found a slightly shorter student and demonstrated a hard pull throw by grabbing the opponent's shoulders.
Chen Feng watched with a serious expression, staying inside all morning and watching the entire beginner judo series.
In an instant, his memory organized itself, and the sequence became clear.
The panel prompt automatically appeared.
[Judo: Unfamiliar (1%)+]
"As expected, it works!"
Chen Feng's eyes lit up as his hypothesis was confirmed.
Without hesitation, he focused on the "+" symbol next to judo and immediately silently activated the upgrade.
Buzz!
In an instant, insights into judo flooded his mind, and the panel information in front of him changed.
[Judo: Beginner (1%)]
"I've made it!"
Clenching his fists, Chen Feng could feel a wealth of judo knowledge added to his memory.
The techniques such as hand techniques, waist techniques, and foot techniques that Cao Tong had demonstrated could now be performed smoothly, with no resistance in his movements.
If someone were watching, they would probably think he had practiced judo for at least one or two months.
"Not bad. Judo techniques are indeed useful, and they can be applied in unarmed close combat."
"Also, my physical strengthening..."
Chen Feng's eyes gleamed, and he quickly checked his stats.
[Strength: 9.0 → 9.2]
[Agility: 8.7 → 8.8]
[Constitution: 8.8 → 8.9]
[Will: 9.3 → 9.4]
"Indeed, judo focuses more on strength, and the improvement in that area is significant."
"I guess my punching power is over 90 kg now?"
Chen Feng could feel his muscles subtly strengthened.
Comparing it to the punch force test he had done earlier, he could estimate his current power.
At least 90 kg, possibly even near 100 kg.
In other words, his strength was now on par with an amateur level 4 fighter.
He might even pass a certification test with ease.
"My choice was right."
"Judo can comprehensively enhance physical fitness, fully compensating for the shortcomings of sparring in close combat."
"I can continue to level up in judo as well..."
Chen Feng examined himself and nodded in satisfaction.
He had a strong sense that, apart from Xu Dongtai, no one in the training class should be his opponent.
Even those often mentioned like Zheng Qiang and Yu Shan would definitely be weaker than him in terms of strength.
Content, confident, and firm...
Finally, he glanced at the time on his phone.
Noticing the time was getting late, Chen Feng decided to stop his thoughts and began to prepare to leave.
He packed his boxing shirt and shorts into a bag, added two energy bars, and then left the house.
Step, step!
His footsteps echoed as he glanced at the alley near his neighborhood.
Zhao Jin had not appeared, but his vigilance had not relaxed.
Withdrawing his gaze, he boarded the bus and left.
Twenty minutes later, the martial arts school came into view.
Getting off at the station, Chen Feng was about to enter when suddenly—
Boom!
A loud noise startled him, and he quickly turned to see the source of the sound on the opposite street.
Flames erupted from a jewelry store.
Gunshots rang out, lasting for over ten seconds.
Surrounding pedestrians screamed and scattered, some collapsing in fear, while others fled.
Eventually, after a barrage of gunfire, three masked robbers rushed out of the jewelry store, carrying bags stuffed with gold bars and jewelry. They immediately jumped into a flying car parked on the side of the road, and with wings extending and flames blasting, the car sped off.
In less than half a minute, they completely disappeared from sight.
"Did someone rob a jewelry store?"
The sudden scene stunned Chen Feng, and he raised an eyebrow.
Many pedestrians and nearby residents were also standing on the street or inside their homes, peeking out of windows to watch.
The chaotic scene caused traffic congestion, with car horns blaring incessantly.
Seeing this, Chen Feng thought about his encounter last night at the supermarket.
Compared to the robbery at the jewelry store, the two punks from last night seemed like petty troublemakers, nothing worth mentioning.
"Tsk tsk, robbery in broad daylight?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice caught his attention. He turned his head and saw Lin Hao, who had somehow arrived at the martial arts school, standing nearby in a black T-shirt with a baseball bag slung over his shoulder. He was watching the aftermath of the robbery with interest.
"Even with a gun permit, they couldn't protect the gold. This jewelry store might not survive..."
Lin Hao teased, and Chen Feng, listening, recalled the country's gun laws.
Unlike the complete ban on firearms in the Summer Kingdom from his previous life, the United Earth Coalition had passed a law five years ago permitting legal gun ownership.
As long as the relevant conditions were met, one could apply for a gun permit.
Jewelry stores, with their gold reserves, were considered a prime target, so they naturally employed armed security.
"Hope no one got killed."
Chen Feng thought briefly, knowing that firearms were much more dangerous than the hand-to-hand combat he'd experienced.
As if to confirm his thoughts, a medical flying car soon rushed to the scene and parked at the jewelry store entrance.
Doctors in white coats rushed into the store with stretchers, carrying two people out.
A security vehicle arrived a few minutes later, with six armed officers in uniforms from the Safety Bureau securing the scene and entering the store with the manager.
