So-called killing techniques are actually moves specifically researched to target human weaknesses.
Over the next period, Zheng Chengdao patiently explained to Qin Chuan what killing techniques truly were.
The human body has many vulnerable areas, such as the eyes, back of the head, throat, armpits, and groin – the five commonly known vital spots.
A severe injury to any of these areas can cause shock, unconsciousness, permanent disability, or even death.
However, besides these five major points, there are many other areas that, when struck, can inflict significant damage, no less than the major vital spots.
For example, the ears, nose, temples, jaw, philtrum, carotid arteries, and kidneys can all cause great harm.
Striking the ear can easily rupture the eardrum or cause bleeding in the ear, leading to blood flowing back to the brain, resulting in a concussion, or even death within five seconds in severe cases.
A blow to the nose can cause unbearable stinging, watery eyes, and temporary blurred vision.
The kidneys are connected to the spleen, stomach, and heart. A powerful punch to this area can cause relentless vomiting…
As Zheng Chengdao's detailed explanation continued, Qin Chuan felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back. He realized that in Zheng Chengdao's eyes, the human body was practically vulnerable everywhere, and any single spot could inflict immense damage.
Of course, the effectiveness of an attack varies greatly from person to person. For instance, if a child were to attack an adult, even striking the temple, a vital spot, the adult might be unharmed because a child lacks the necessary strength.
The harm inflicted when people attack others is not the same.
Next, Zheng Chengdao explained to Qin Chuan how to maximize human strength in unarmed combat.
Elbow strikes were one method, knee strikes another, and the forehead as well.
The forehead is one of the hardest parts of the human body. If, when an opponent is caught off guard, one forcefully slams their skull into the opponent's nose, it can have an unexpected effect.
Furthermore, teeth are also excellent weapons, harder than the forehead. If truly in danger, one should not release their bite on an enemy; it's best to tear off a piece of flesh.
By the time all this was explained, it was already broad daylight. Many nearby residents had gathered on the sports field, some exercising, others heading to the morning market.
"Boss, we'll stop here for today. Come with me later, and I'll show you some more."
Zheng Chengdao ceased his instruction.
Qin Chuan nodded. This morning had felt like opening a new door to another world, and he had benefited greatly.
After breakfast, Qin Chuan followed Zheng Chengdao to a room. Qin Yang, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong also accompanied them.
The room was simply furnished. The most striking item was a large color television, a full forty-five inches.
Zheng Chengdao rummaged through a drawer and finally took out several video tapes that looked quite old. He inserted them into a VCD player.
Qin Chuan, sitting on the sofa, watched all this with curiosity. Soon, the video began.
What was being played was a real-life recording, seemingly copied from somewhere, not a movie.
The video showed an octagonal cage, inside which two bare-chested, very strong men were preparing to fight. A dense crowd surrounded them, many of them foreigners. It was likely filmed abroad.
"Boss, you need to be mentally prepared. The scenes in this might be a bit bloody later!"
Bai Xiaoguang said with a grin from a nearby seat.
"Xiao Chuan, watch it carefully. These are all real things!"
Qin Yang also spoke.
This sparked Qin Chuan's great curiosity. He stared intently at the television, and soon the video reached the fight sequence.
As the referee blew his whistle, the two strong men immediately began to probe each other. Initially, it was relatively normal boxing and kickboxing. Then, the scene became more intense and exciting.
Every blow targeted the body's vital spots, such as the jaw, philtrum, nose, temples, back of the head, carotid arteries, chest, abdomen, and even the groin – none were spared.
Qin Chuan clearly saw a white man kick a black man in the groin. The latter showed an expression of immense pain, but soon that pain transformed into ferocity. He lunged forward, opened his mouth, and bit down on the white man's nose.
He literally bit off the opponent's nose. The white man screamed, his face a bloody mess. The entire scene was incredibly bloody, filled with brutality and cruelty.
Qin Chuan was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy hell! Is this real or fake?"
He had seen boxing matches, even underground bare-knuckle fights, but none could compare to the bloody savagery before him.
Even underground fights had rules, right? How could they so wantonly attack vital points like this?
Zheng Chengdao pressed pause and explained, "Boss, everything in this video is real. A friend of mine got this recording through special channels. The scenes depicted are from an underground bare-knuckle fight with absolutely no rules. The goal is simply to knock out the opponent using any means necessary."
"I'm showing you this video to help you understand how killing techniques are used and how powerful they can be."
"When our lives are threatened, we shouldn't worry about how cruel the moves are. Our primary concern should be ensuring our own safety first."
"Come out here, and I'll demonstrate it for you personally…"
In the evening, when Li Ya finished work and drove to pick up Qin Chuan for dinner, she was shocked to find her man walking with a limp and a pale face, looking as if he had undergone immense suffering and was in a very sorry state.
"Xiao Chuan, what's wrong? Are you injured again?"
Li Ya exclaimed in alarm, asking nervously.
Qin Chuan smiled wryly and waved his hand. "It's nothing. I just overexerted myself during training, my muscles are sore!"
The others sitting around them, preparing hot pot ingredients, burst into schadenfreude laughter.
Their boss had experienced quite a ordeal today, being thoroughly defeated almost every time. He must have fallen no less than fifty times throughout the day.
It wasn't just muscle soreness; his whole body was likely bruised. Even after applying liniment and receiving systematic massages, the pain would likely last for several days.
Li Ya noticed the abnormality and guessed some of it. She immediately reprimanded them, "You guys, even as coaches, you shouldn't be so reckless. He's your boss. If anything serious happened to him, how would you handle it!"
She had heard Qin Chuan mention that starting today, he would be trained by Zheng Chengdao and the others. At the time, she hadn't thought much of it; exercising was a good thing!
"Don't worry, boss's wife. The boss just has some muscle strains. His body is much tougher than we imagined. We wouldn't dare push him to the brink!"
Yao Dong chuckled.
Li Ya couldn't say more. Everyone gathered and began eating the lamb hot pot. Qin Chuan ate five bowls of rice and several plates of lamb, finally putting down his chopsticks with satisfaction after the lamb's blood.
The next day, the training continued. With a good coach like Zheng Chengdao, his progress was rapid.
Zheng Chengdao not only taught them killing techniques but also skills for generating force. Besides vital points, he taught which parts of the body, when struck, would amplify the damage.
The third day was the same…
Unknowingly, several days had passed like this. Qin Chuan gradually adapted to the training rhythm.
His excellent performance was due to his youthful physique and a certain foundation, having practiced a bit when he was younger, even if it was just superficial.
Of course, this was only in comparison to ordinary people. Faced with true masters, there was still a significant gap.
