Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1053 - 1053 One Thousand Thirty-Seven The Charm of That Kick

1053: Chapter One Thousand Thirty-Seven: The Charm of That Kick 1053: Chapter One Thousand Thirty-Seven: The Charm of That Kick Gao Yang was slightly nervous, but he was still happy to personally spar with Peter.

After handing his rifle to someone else and removing all the cumbersome items on him, Gao Yang thought for a moment, took the magazine out of his pistol, cleared the chamber, and then holstered the empty gun.

He intended to fight with an empty gun.

After warming up a bit, Gao Yang stood in front of Peter, posed in an attacking stance, and faced Peter from a distance of two meters.

Peter also raised his hands, but instead of clenching them into fists, he spread his fingers, one hand above the other, to better control Gao Yang’s arms and legs.

Gao Yang calmed his mind.

His attacking routines were quite monotonous, and there was no such thing as testing the waters, so once he had adjusted his body and mind to their optimal states, he immediately lunged forward and threw a punch.

Peter deflected Gao Yang’s punch with one hand and, waiting for Gao Yang to lash out with a kick, Peter surprisingly jumped back a step, dodging Gao Yang’s kick.

“Indeed, very impressive!”

Peter sincerely exclaimed, but Gao Yang inwardly groaned because once Peter had dodged his first kick, it would be very difficult to land a kick on Peter again.

Peter, looking excited, lowered his center of gravity, assumed a stance, and waved to Gao Yang, “Come on, try again.”

Helplessly, Gao Yang changed the sequence of his moves and quickly approached Peter again, this time unleashing a Groin Kick first.

Although Peter was fully focused, he still didn’t dare to block Gao Yang’s kick directly.

However, as Peter dodged Gao Yang’s kick and Gao Yang’s center of gravity was thrown off due to the high kick and its accompanying large movement, Peter quickly closed in.

With his right hand, he pushed Gao Yang’s shoulder while his left hand wrapped around Gao Yang’s thigh, lightly exerting force and easily bringing Gao Yang down to the ground.

Gao Yang lay on the ground, while Peter smiled, pulled Gao Yang up, and said with a smile, “Buddy, it’s not wise to keep using the same move on me.”

Gao Yang did not like to repeat the same moves; rather, he didn’t know any other moves.

Or rather, any other moves compared to his Groin Kick were vastly inferior in effectiveness.

The Groin Kick was his trump card for overcoming enemies; the rest, better left unmentioned.

Peter resumed his stance, and Gao Yang turned to Li Jinfang with a look seeking help.

Gao Yang didn’t want to continue kicking.

Continuing like this, especially with many people watching, Gao Yang didn’t want to embarrass himself.

Li Jinfang, when training Gao Yang, was always particularly serious.

Seeing Gao Yang’s look, he immediately stiffened his face and loudly said, “Don’t fear embarrassment, don’t fear pain.

An opponent like this doesn’t come around often in a lifetime.

He’s a whetstone; don’t back down, keep going!”

Gao Yang wasn’t a coward, nor was he afraid of pain; it was just the fear of embarrassment.

However, Li Jinfang was right; an opportunity like encountering Peter, this whetstone, was too rare, and it would be too disgraceful to give up due to fear of embarrassment.

Gao Yang kicked again, this time using a modified version of the Groin Kick.

Normally, putting seventy percent strength into the initial kick, leaving thirty percent in reserve to switch techniques if needed; the modified Groin Kick used only fifty percent of strength.

Unfortunately, conserving strength meant a more devastating defeat.

Peter quickly grabbed Gao’s thigh and pulled back, causing Gao to fall onto the ground with a big split.

It was only because of Gao’s quick reaction that he managed to lie on his side before his legs were fully split apart, otherwise, he would have truly suffered.

Peter let go of Gao’s leg, then with a look of surprise, said, “Your kicks are powerful, even more threatening than Frog’s, but, don’t you know any other moves?”

Gao Yang was utterly helpless.

Gao Yang was a shooting genius, but not a fighting genius.

His talent in combat was just average, but after suffering a few losses due to inadequate combat skills, he had truly worked hard.

Gao Yang was trained by Li Jinfang, who taught him and others in the Satan Mercenary Corps with all his heart, without holding anything back.

Yet, Gao was the best among them.

It wasn’t that Gao was more talented or smarter than others, but rather, he was willing to sweat more than others in practicing the Groin Kick.

Cui Bo also practiced the Groin Kick, but Cui Bo practiced all aspects of combat, taking a comprehensive approach, while Gao, knowing his late start and weak foundation, chose to specialize and focus solely on perfecting the Groin Kick as his killer move.

Li Jinfang had practiced martial arts since childhood; he didn’t need the Groin Kick when facing opponents, as he could easily defeat them with simple moves.

Gao Yang, however, spent the majority of his combat training time on the Groin Kick, so, in terms of mastering the move to half-step collapse, Gao Yang would never reach Li Jinfang’s level in his lifetime, but in terms of the Groin Kick alone, Gao Yang was even stronger than Li Jinfang.

However, can mastering a single move really win the day?

Maybe Gao could knock down most people with a single Groin Kick, but against a master-level opponent, it inevitably wouldn’t work.

Seeing Gao’s expression, Peter understood what was going on and chuckled, “Are you using me for practice?”

Gao Yang shrugged and said, “That’s the idea, it’s up to you whether you’re willing.”

Peter spread his hands and laughed, “If it were someone else, I wouldn’t agree.

Buddy, my status in the combat world is very high, whether it’s within the military or outside, there are only a few who are qualified to be my sparring partner.

But you are different, I don’t need to explain why.

Alright buddy, stand up and let’s start over, just don’t feel too embarrassed.”
