Lu Yao stood there quietly, carefully observing the changes in Buick's expression.
He was constantly searching for an opportunity to speak to Buick.
After Buick proposed to stop the match, he also observed Lu Yao.
He knew that Lu Yao must have a purpose for doing this, so he was observing and waiting for Lu Yao to tell him his intentions.
Wang Ping, the referee, had already quietly retreated to the corner of the ring and left the training room.
From the start of the match, he had already clearly known the result.
Lu Yao never did anything unprepared. After listening to Wang Ping's account of Buick's situation, he unexpectedly proposed a match, which was extremely unreasonable.
After the match began, Lu Yao was like a sandbag, allowing his opponent to hit his body with his iron fists over and over again. He didn't defend himself. He only circled around, exposing himself to Buick's attack from all directions.
Lu Yao proposed an unreasonable challenge, and he fought with Buick in such a strange way. The things that seemed unreasonable before slowly made sense.
Although Wang Ping was very curious at this time, he also knew that it would be better to let Buick and Lu Yao stay alone for a while.
Lu Yao didn't say anything because he had a calm personality.
However, in such a delicate situation, Buick grew impatient. He could manage to remain silent for a minute or two, but as time passed, his impatience gradually revealed itself.
At this moment, a slight change appeared on Buick's face.
Lu Yao knew that Buick's curiosity had already been greatly aroused. This was the best time for him to talk about that matter with Buick.
"Brother Buick, what do you think of my martial arts skills?" After countless rehearsals, Lu Yao managed to control his expression and how fast he spoke perfectly.
When Lu Yao spoke, Buick's tense nerves relaxed a little. He let out a sigh and said in a slightly depressed tone, "Your set of martial arts technique is damn impressive. The muscles and skin of your entire body look exactly the same as those of a normal person. Only when I hit you with my fists can I tell the difference. It would not be an exaggeration to say that your skin is like stone, and your bones are like steel!"
"No matter how much I exert my strength, I can't pose any threat to you." Buick carefully recalled every scene of the match and said, "Brother Lu Yao, I feel that your power has improved a lot."
"That's right, Brother Buick. I learned this set of martial arts technique by chance from a traveling warlock. Its name is Turtle Armor Technique."
Lu Yao had made up this story in advance, and he spoke to Buick naturally at this time.
After a discussion with Li Jiang, Lu Yao simplified the first move, Tuiyun Hand, and the second move, Poti Fist, of the Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills. The so-called Turtle Armor Technique was the simplified version of the Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills.
Therefore, Lu Yao was not completely deceiving Buick.
"Turtle Armor Technique?" Buick pondered for a moment and said, "This name is very appropriate. The turtle shell is synonymous with Extreme Dao defense. You used this set of practice properly and this is not a disgrace to the turtle shell. Haha!"
Buick was always passionate when facing the people he was familiar with and liked. When he heard the name Turtle Armor Technique he was already smiling.
"Brother Buick, how is this set of martial arts technique compared to yours?" Lu Yao asked again.
Buick did not think about it before directly answering, "The one I am most capable of is the Horizontal Training Art. Not only did it make me indestructible, but it also made my hands solid and strong. Even so, compared to your technique, mine was nothing."
"If I ask you to give up on your Horizontal Training Art and to start from scratch to practice this set of technique, will you be willing to do so?" Lu Yao quickly pursued.
"Lu Yao, this is the purpose of your match with me today, right?" At this point, Buick had completely understood Lu Yao's painstaking efforts. He sighed with mixed feelings. "I appreciate your kindness, but I have practiced the Horizontal Training Art in the army. I don't have the right to decide whether to give it up or not. If one day, I can no longer contribute to my country or the army and if the army wants to take it back, I'll be qualified to learn other martial arts skills!"
"Brother Buick, why do you have to be so persistent?" When Lu Yao heard Buick's words, he was confused and helpless.
"Lu Yao, although I seem to be a brute, I still have my own beliefs. I was born in a nomadic family and lived a rootless life. When I was a kid, I became a herd like my parents, brothers, and sisters on Shuangta's grassland."
"The nomads of that era had a bitter life. Not only did they have to be exploited by bandits, but they also had to live at the mercy of nature. If there were no natural disasters, the nomads could still make do with it and support their family. However, if they were caught in a disastrous year, life would be unbearable." At this point, Buick, a man of integrity and strength, also shed hot tears in his eyes. "Ever since I could remember things, I have experienced a disaster year and a calamity caused by bandits. These two incidents took away my Eldest Brother and Second Elder Sister's young lives."
"Later, the army of the country moved into Shuangta's grassland. Not only did they protect us from the bandits, but they also helped us build canals and improve the environment of the grassland, so that we would have a fixed place to live and not have to wander. And they also let a poor child like me join the army. From then on, I had enough to eat and clothes to wear. I have to contribute everything in my life to the country and the army, unless they no longer need me one day."
Looking at Buick's red eyes, Lu Yao deeply understood Buick's love for the country and the army.
It was a kind of loyalty that came from gratitude. It was something that people like Lu Yao, who had never experienced that era, could not understand.
Lu Yao knew that his plan was in vain.
"Brother Buick, my suggestion is valid for a long time. If you want to learn this set of technique, find me anytime." Lu Yao carefully took out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of his coat. He handed it to Buick with both hands and said, "This is the detailed moves of the Turtle Shell Technique. Keep it safe for me!"
Lu Yao had simplified the Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills in advance, and he had drawn the moves of the so-called Turtle Armor Technique on a piece of paper. Although Buick had rejected his good intentions, he still insisted on handing this paper to Buick.
No one would have thought that the only two moves on this paper would become the compulsory course of the most mysterious Dragon Group in Shina in the near future. The course helped nurture one elite soldier after another for the country.
This piece of paper made a miracle in the long history of protecting the country and the people.
Buick rejected Lu Yao's kind offer. Lu Yao also understood the reason why Buick refused, so he didn't force Buick.
Whether Buick learned the Turtle Armor Technique or not, Lu Yao wouldn't let Buick become a useless man.
Lu Yao believed that although this was the best choice right now, as his strength increased, there would definitely be a better way for him to help Buick.
.
.
After leaving the martial arts school, it was almost time for school, so Lu Yao went straight to school.
Tomorrow was the last day for everyone to be in school. After tomorrow, all high school seniors would have a holiday.
Although it did not mean that everyone would never see each other again, after the holiday, everyone would take the college entrance examination and then apply for different universities. It was very likely that many people would choose to leave this land and go to a distant place to study.
In the future, there would be fewer opportunities for them to meet each other.
When Lu Yao was taking a walk on campus during class breaks recently, he heard a lot of students from the same grade talking about their life in the future.
For those seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boys and girls who were in the rebellious phase of their youth, they had lived by their parents' side for the first ten-plus years of their lives. They listened to their parents and even their grandparents nagging every day. Although many students knew that they were doing it out of kindness, they still thought it was annoying.
Many of them wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the college entrance examination to leave their parents, leave their home, and leave this place where they were born and raised for more than ten years. They wanted to step into the big cities and the big world that were full of dreams and opportunities to show their talents.
Lu Yao felt that what these students said was not completely unreasonable, but they sounded very childish.
As the old saying went, while one's parents were alive, one should not travel to distant places.
Lu Yao once watched such a story on TV in the school canteen.
The story was about a young man who loved rock and roll very much. In order to pursue his so-called rock and roll dream, he resolutely dropped out of school regardless of his parents' and friends' earnest words and then left his hometown to wander in a big city.
In that era, rock-and-roll was a synonym for rebellion and being slovenly.
The people who were involved with rock and roll were all weird in the eyes of those who lived a regular life.
However, Shina had hundreds of millions of people, and there were quite a number of such ambitious youths who loved things like rock and roll.
The teenager soon made a group of like-minded friends in the big city.
They lived in the basement, and they ate leftovers. They carried their own instruments every day, and with their music samples, they walked through streets and alleys to perform, hoping to be recognized by people.
They played music, formed a band, and got along with each other like they were a family.
With the passage of time, rock and roll, this kind of passionate and realistic music, gradually became popular and sought after by people under the relentless efforts of so many ambitious youths.
The boy had great talents. He could always write some new and poetic words. In addition to his unique voice and performance on the stage, the entire band gradually became popular under his leadership as the main singer.
He had thought that his life would continue being glorious, but he did not expect that the band that was regarded by everyone as an indivisible part of their lives would fall apart under the ruthless impacts of so-called commercial modes.
Later in his life, despite repeated attempts and strenuous efforts, he had never been able to possess his dream band.
When he was thirty-three years old, the last band split up.
After many years of being away from his home, his music dream was finally shattered, and the boy had already turned into a middle-aged man.
He also began to gradually feel disheartened and finally gave up his band dream. The first thing he thought of was to go back to his parents, whom he had not seen for more than ten years.
When people were the most frustrated and confused, the first thing they thought of was their parents. No matter what one did or how old one was, they would always find the safest harbor with their parents.
After experiencing the phase of rebellion and years of fighting for his dreams, the protagonist of the story, who had returned to his parents, finally began to wake up.
He expressed his deep-rooted love for his parents, his rebellious feelings, and his remorse for the first half of his life through music, making his music dream come true for the second time.
He had been a loser, but now he was a superstar.
Many years later, when a reporter interviewed the man who had turned from a loser to a superstar, he said that it was his parents who allowed him to have today's achievements.
From then on, other than performing on the occasional commercial shows that could not be canceled, he spent all his time accompanying his parents.
When Lu Yao watched the story of the musician, he sighed with all sorts of feelings.
