Traditional martial arts finally stood up!

As everyone was worried about Nan Ye, Xu Dong himself also had some doubts.

Seeing Nan Ye's reaction, he didn't seem like a Martial Arts expert. Could he have found the wrong person?

As he thought, he naturally withdrew some of his strength.

He was a Martial Arts fanatic, that was true, but he was only interested in people of the same level or stronger than himself.

What he didn't expect was that Nan Ye suddenly moved.

A side step, his left hand pressing on his wrist, then pulling back, drawing him towards himself.

By the time Xu Dong reacted, he naturally wanted to pull his fist back to defend, but unfortunately, it was too late.

A weak point had appeared. Nan Ye squatted down, then pushed up, using his right shoulder to hit Xu Dong's armpit.

This sudden immense force knocked Xu Dong to the floor.

Whether it was the audience in the base or the audience in the live stream, everyone was shocked by this scene.

[If this wasn't a live stream, I'd think this was acting. Nan Ye is too strong!]

[The opponent is a city-level fighter! You just took him down in a few moves? It feels so fake, but it looks so cool.]

[Xu Dong: Don't I need face?]

[Is this Nan Ye's real strength?]

Of course, some experts quickly spotted the issue. A Netizen named "I am not Martial God" analyzed:

"At the last moment, Xu Dong obviously held back. There was no power in his fist, his focus wasn't as concentrated as before, and his speed slowed down. That's why Nan Ye was able to grab his hand."

"Otherwise, do you think it's that easy for a boxing expert to have their wrist grabbed?"

"Professional boxers throw 2 to 5 punches per second, and they retract them immediately after striking, preparing for the next punch or defense. Where would you even grab?"

"Furthermore, their left hand isn't just for show. The force of a professional fighter's left hook can reach three to four hundred jin."

"In a normal sparring session, it's good enough if you can dodge their punches. Don't even think about trying to grab a boxer's fist; you'd just be asking for trouble..."

[So that's it. I understand now. Thanks for explaining!]

What this person said was well-reasoned and based on facts. Thinking about it, it was true. With such a high frequency of punching speed, could someone practicing traditional martial arts really grab it?

Moreover, with a hook having such great force, it seemed quite difficult to grab it instantly.

After careful consideration, it could only be concluded that the opponent held back.

[Doesn't that mean that in the next sparring session, the opponent will go all out?]

That's right, Xu Dong was unconvinced. He hadn't expected the opponent to suddenly attack just now. Otherwise, his straight punch wouldn't have just been a feint without follow-up.

Next, he was going to be serious.

Xu Dong was seen taking his stance, then launching a fierce attack.

Punch after punch, his fists were like the wind. Even Nan Ye found it difficult to find a weak point for a while and could only create distance from the opponent to look for an opening.

"I am not Martial God" continued to speak:

"See? This is what real boxing looks like against traditional martial arts."

"traditional martial arts, just in terms of hand techniques, include fingers, fists, palms, grabbing, gripping, chopping, stroking..."

"You could say there are many techniques, but when you truly encounter such fast and dense punches, what can you do besides dodge?"

"If your skill isn't up to par, do you dare to take it head-on? Their fists are trained by hitting sandbags."

"As for those who practice traditional martial arts, while some do practice hard qigong and horizontal striking ability, in today's society, those who practice these are after all a minority. Not many people can endure that kind of hardship anymore."

"Even if they wanted to endure the hardship, they lack a master's guidance and time."

"However, I must mention Nan Ye's foundation here; it is extremely deep."

"If everyone watched the replay, you would find that Nan Ye was always at ease against Xu Dong's fierce offense."

"He consistently controlled his distance within a certain range, which was the distance of Xu Dong's arm plus one fist."

"This ensured that the opponent could never hit him."

"Perhaps Xu Dong also noticed this point, and coupled with not knowing Nan Ye's depth, he didn't dare to use too many leg movements."

"The power of the legs is much greater than the power of the hands, but if the legs are not used well, the weak points will be even larger."

"This is also why Xu Dong used his fists more."

The crowd didn't speak anymore. This person's analysis was spot-on. You could tell a lot just from the fact that Xu Dong couldn't hit Nan Ye.

For Nan Ye, his biggest weakness was having too little practical combat experience, perhaps even never having truly sparred with someone else.

This was why he felt like he had Martial Arts skills but nowhere to use them.

However, this was only temporary.

The reason he wasn't in a hurry to counterattack was actually because he was observing, and at the same time, he was looking for the feeling and rhythm of sparring.

Just as the opponent approached again, feinting with a right fist and attacking hard with a left, Nan Ye also used his foot.

Yes, he used his foot!

His whole body tilted down directly, using his hands to support himself on the ground, then his heel stepped on Xu Dong's foot, followed immediately by kicking his knee.

These two spots are both weak points on the human body.

Xu Dong felt pain, his body naturally tilted, and his movements became a bit stiff.

The opportunity for Nan Ye to counterattack had arrived.

An inward hook kick made Xu Dong lose his balance, and then he followed up with a close-quarters shoulder strike, forcefully knocking Xu Dong away.

This time, no one said it was a coincidence anymore:

[This, this, this... This time it was a real sparring match, and Nan Ye still knocked the opponent down!]

[Big exclamation of "Awesome!" It seems Xiao Ge isn't just for show after all. He actually took down a city-level boxer!]

[This is very satisfying. Finally, we see traditional martial arts standing tall!]

[So strong! Who would dare say Nan Ye's Martial Arts are just for show from now on!]

At this point, someone tagged "I am not Martial God" again, asking him to say a few words.

And "I am not Martial God" indeed had something to say, quickly launching into another lengthy discussion:

"Before talking about this sparring session, let's first discuss the weakness of boxing, its biggest weakness."

"That is, they have adapted to boxing ring matches."

"The venue is only that big; there's no way to hide. They only need to consider how to outwit and outfight their opponent."

"But here is different. There are no restrictions. With Xu Dong's fighting style of a desperate fighter, his stamina can easily be exhausted."

"Once you show even a little fatigue, the opponent can quickly start counterattacking."

"Another point is the protection of the lower body."

"Boxing has always been relatively lacking in this regard."

Nan Ye must have discovered Xu Dong's weak point and then made his move.

Don't think stepping on toes is like a children's fight. At critical moments, it can be extremely useful.

"In traditional martial arts, there is a martial art called Chuaijiao. Good heavens, one kick from it can break three or four bricks."

"And can human feet, toes, and knees be as hard as bricks?"

"Therefore, it's not that Xu Dong isn't strong, but rather his weaknesses were firmly grasped by Nan Ye..."

After this lengthy explanation, many people applauded!

[Chuaijiao is recognized as a ruthless leg technique. Even traditional martial arts competitions dare not let it be used!]

[Once Chuaijiao is used, the ankle is crippled. We're not kidding.]

[So, this Xu Dong should admit defeat now, right?]

Reality was not like that. Xu Dong got up and shook his foot. Although Nan Ye hadn't aimed for a fatal blow, it still hurt!

He took his stance, surprisingly wanting to continue fighting...
