Chapter 10 The Last Battle
Robert thought hard for a long time, and finally he thought of a way that was not the way, that is, the Chinese martial arts in Li's mind.
"Those are mostly fictional, just some conceptual things. In fact, I don't know martial arts at all." Even I have never seen a real kung fu master in my life. Whether kung fu really exists is a question mark for Li.
"As long as there is a concept, it's enough. I'll improve the rest. Remember, I'm a melee mentor, and all the enemies I kill can form a legion.
So Robert devoted all his combat experience and skills to the research of new combat skills. He deeply studied every video that Li had seen and every move he had seen, and then made a difference, studied, and finally devoted himself to actual combat. Finally, he began to practice with Li. Although the relationship between the two is still a master and apprentice, the two have changed from a simple one to a study to a mutual discussion and research between the two.
Those things in Li's mind were originally disdainful by Robert. Kung fu is just a mastery of combat skills. When this combat skill reaches a certain height, it is easy for those who have martial arts to complete some magical things in the eyes of others. It's like the best waiter in a western restaurant can pull the tablecloth off the table in an instant, and the tableware on the tablecloth is motionless. It looks amazing, but it is actually the result of more practice, and its function is to look beautiful.
And Robert doesn't need skills. His battles are all on the battlefield. What he needs to do is to kill the enemy in the simplest and fastest way, and he rarely challenges people who are stronger than himself. He is not a boring warrior who wants to hone himself. He is a warrior who fights for human beings and a killing army. People. If the enemy is very powerful, then, the heavy weapon team will come forward and beat the enemy into a sieve. Therefore, Robert has never studied the skill of fighting against the weak over the strong, and he has never put the enemy in the position of the weak.
Because Robert has always been the powerful one.
But now the situation is a little different. Robert can clearly see the erosion of the body by the curse. His body has really become ordinary. In the future, Robert. Li will no longer have a tall body, strong body, strong muscles, and terrible strength, even Robert in the future. Li may not even be able to wear the power armor.
So he has to think of something, and for Robert, this is not just about Li, but also for his own salvation.
Because he can always clearly feel the erosion of the curse on his soul. If that erosion will bring pain, it may be better. Robert is not afraid of pain. Pain is just a feeling for him. It is a "feeling" that can strengthen his will and make himself more sober.
But the curse does not bring pain, but pleasure, just like taking a stimulant. It is like a drug, which makes people in heaven. It seems that the whole body is soaked in warm water, which is particularly relaxing and comfortable. Being beaten to death by this curse is not a painful process for the body. On the contrary, this is A process of enjoyment. But for the spirit, for the soul, for the will, it is a complete disaster.
Robert is always fighting against this kind of happiness gushing from the depths of his soul, just like a senior addict fighting against his drug addiction. The wonderful pleasure constantly lures him and makes him degenerate, and Robert must keep thinking. Work, otherwise you will fall into the abyss of pleasure and become a pure slave to pursue pleasure.
Fortunately, such a struggle does not last long. Robert has felt that his soul is getting weaker and weaker. As long as he persists until the moment he dies, he will win a chance that the curse will weaken with his soul, and Robert firmly believes that even if his soul is weak, But I still have a firm will and belief, so there is still a chance. The final victory of this struggle will definitely belong to me.
And what happens after your soul dissipates, leave it to your last apprentice.
What Robert needs now is just some good things that can be used to kill time. He puts all his spirit on these things and doesn't pay attention to the increasingly strong pleasure. Robert devoted himself to Chinese martial arts, such as slow and fast fighting, phoenix-mouthed fist, Taijiquan, military boxing, capture, shadowless feet, Buddha's palm, dragon-removing eighteen palms, some, he took out all the real and false, carefully studied and figured it out, and finally really let him study something.
"These things are still useful," Robert said. "The three basic elements of combat, strength, speed, and skill. Of the three points, skill is the most useful and useless. People with skills can sometimes decide the winner in an instant, but if there is no strength and speed as support, the role of skills is limited. However, if we have strength and speed, we often don't need too many skills. Moreover, skills are too demanding for learners and have no practical significance. Fortunately, we are in this space where we don't have to be afraid of injury, and we have a lot of time, otherwise it will be difficult for ordinary people to master these fighting skills all their lives.
"So you have mastered the mentor?"
"I have understood it, but it's still far from mastering, but I can teach you that you can master these things sooner or later." Robert said, "In your country, the core of the so-called martial arts is still 'power skills'. This is the core meaning of how to mobilize the power of the whole body in an instant and then give the enemy a fatal blow in the weakest position of the enemy. What inch of strength, unloading strength, and softness are all the grasp of strength. Whether it's war or fighting, it's the same. Use your strongest blow to hit the weakest part of the enemy. It is always difficult to master advanced skills. It doesn't take a hundred and eighty years for ordinary people to master these. What a pity..."
"What's your pity?"
"It's a pity that I have such good fighting skills, but I can't promote them. After all, skills have always been used for the weak. Only the weak need skills, because only in this way can they defeat the strong. The strong only need to become stronger, and the warriors of our empire will never be weak.
The study continued day and night. The two did not realize the passage of time. Li learned what Robert thought was the most useless skill, single-handed combat. In Robert's opinion, if you lose guns, weapons, and even cold weapons on the battlefield. , lost all weapons - this is an almost impossible situation. If you really get to this point, then you are not far from death. Fight with bare hands or something, don't think about it at all.
But Li is very interested in such a course. When the fourth round of teaching was over, Li actually got good results in this course. When the last lesson was over, Robert patted Li on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I have nothing to give to you. You are one of my many students. The stupidest one, but also the most excellent one. Don't talk now, just listen to me. In fact, I want to thank you. In the last time, I can still maintain my nature without falling, all because of you, and I can leave without regret, because I know that even if my soul dissipates, you will continue to serve the empire in my name. You also made up your mind for me. Now I want to say goodbye to you, and then you are Robert. Li, I hope you won't be ashamed of this name.
"Mentor, you..."
"What's your expression?" Robert smiled: "Don't be sad. The world may not be unfortunate to leave, and it may not be lucky to stay. I have lived and fought for too long. Now I'm leaving to participate in the last battle and face the most powerful enemy ever. I've been escaping for too long. It's time to avoid it. Sooner or later, this battle will come. Remember, wait a minute, you just need to watch and don't interfere no matter what happens. This battle belongs to me, and you can't get involved. May my emperor bless you and may the divine emperor protect me. Robert waved his hand, opened a door from the void, and walked out.
