Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Robert thought hard for a long time, and finally he finally thought of a solution that was not a solution, that is, the Chinese martial arts in Li's mind.

"Those are mostly fictional, just some conceptual things. In fact, I don't understand martial arts at all." Even in my life, I have never seen a real kung fu master. Whether kung fu really exists is a question mark for Li.

"As long as there is a concept, it is enough. I will perfect the rest. Remember, I am a close combat instructor. The enemies I kill can form a legion."

So Robert put all his combat experience and skills into the research of new combat skills. He deeply studied every video that Li had watched and every move he had seen, and then differentiated, studied, and finally put it into actual combat, and finally started to practice with Li. Although the relationship between the two is still that of master and apprentice, the two have changed from a simple teaching and learning to a mutual discussion and research between the two.

Robert originally disdained the things in Li's mind. Kung Fu, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than the mastery of fighting skills. When this kind of fighting skills reaches a certain level, it is easy for martial artists to accomplish some things that seem magical to others. This is like the best waiter in a western restaurant can tear the tablecloth off the table in an instant, and the tableware on the tablecloth remains motionless. It looks magical, but in fact it is the result of more practice, and its function is just to look beautiful.

Robert does not 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 bored fighter who wants to hone himself. He is a warrior who fights for humanity and a soldier who kills. If the enemy is very powerful, then well, the heavy weapons team will come forward and beat the enemy into a sieve. Therefore, Robert has never studied the skills of fighting with the weak to defeat the strong in depth, and he never puts the enemy in the position of the strong and puts himself in the position of the weak.

Because Robert has always been the strong one.

But now the situation is a little different. Robert can clearly see the erosion of the curse on his body. His body has really become ordinary. In the future, Robert Lee will no longer have a tall body, a strong physique, strong muscles, and terrible power. In the future, Robert Lee may not even be able to wear power armor.

So he must think of some ways, and for Robert, this is not just out of concern for Li, but also for his own salvation.

Because he can always clearly feel the erosion of the curse on his soul. If that erosion brings 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 him more sober.

But the curse does not bring pain, but pleasure, just like the pleasure of taking stimulants, like drugs, making people feel in heaven, as if the whole body is soaked in warm water, especially relaxed and comfortable. Being hit to death by this curse is not a painful process for the body, on the contrary, it is a process of enjoyment. But for the spirit, for the soul, for the will, it is a complete disaster.

Robert is constantly fighting against this kind of happiness that comes from the depths of his soul, just like a senior drug addict fighting against his drug addiction. The wonderful pleasure constantly tempts him and makes him degenerate, and Robert must keep thinking and working, otherwise he will fall into the abyss of pleasure and become a slave who pursues pleasure purely.

Fortunately, such a struggle does not need to last too long. Robert has felt that his soul is becoming weaker and weaker. As long as he persists until the moment of his death, he will win a chance. The curse will weaken with his soul. Robert firmly believes that even if his soul is weak, he still has a firm will and belief, so there is still a chance, and the final victory of this struggle will definitely belong to him.

And what happens after his soul dissipates, let this last apprentice of his own.

Now all Robert needs is some good things that can be used to kill time. He puts all his energy on these things and ignores the increasingly strong pleasure. Robert put himself into Chinese martial arts, such as slow to fast, Phoenix Mouth Fist, Tai Chi, Military Boxing, Grappling, Shadowless Kick, Tathagata Palm, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and so on. He studied them carefully and finally figured out something.

"These things are still useful," Robert said, "There are three basic elements of fighting, strength, speed, and skills. Among the three, skills are the most useful and the most useless. People with skills can sometimes decide the outcome in an instant, but if there is no strength and speed to support them, no matter how many skills they have, their role is limited. However, if we have strength and speed, we often don't need too many skills, and skills are too demanding for learners and have no practical significance. Fortunately, we are in this space where we don't have to worry about getting hurt, and we have plenty of time, otherwise ordinary people may find it difficult to master these fighting skills in their lifetime."

"So, have you mastered it, mentor?"

"I already understand, but I'm still a long way from mastering it. But I can teach you, and you'll master these things sooner or later." Robert said: "In your country, the so-called martial arts, its core is still the 'skill of force'. How to mobilize the whole body's strength in an instant, and then give the enemy a fatal blow at the enemy's weakest position, its core meaning lies in this. What inch force, unloading force, soft force are all about the grasp of force. Whether it's war or fighting, it's the same, use your strongest blow to hit the enemy's weakest point. Advanced skills are always difficult to master, and it takes ordinary people a hundred or eighty years to master them. What a pity..."

"What do you regret?"

"I regret that it's so good 's fighting skills, but they cannot be promoted. After all, skills are always used by the weak, and only the weak need skills, because only in this way can they defeat the strong. The strong just need to become stronger, and the warriors of our empire will never be weak. "

The study continued day and night, and the two were unaware of the passage of time. Li learned the skill that Robert thought was the most useless, single-soldier unarmed combat. In Robert's opinion, if you lose your guns, weapons, and even cold weapons on the battlefield, it is almost impossible to lose all your weapons. If you really reach this point, then you are not far from death, and unarmed combat is completely out of the question.

But Li was quite interested in such courses. When the fourth round of teaching ended, Li actually achieved good results in this course. After the last class, Robert patted Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have nothing to teach you. You are the dumbest one among my many students, but also the best one. Don't talk now, just listen to me. In fact, I want to thank you. In the last days, I can still maintain my nature and not degenerate. It's all because of you. And I can leave without regrets because of you, because I know that even if my soul dissipates, you will continue to serve the empire in my name. You also helped me make up my mind. Now I want to say goodbye to you forever, and then, You are Robert Lee, I hope you will not bring shame to this name. "

"Teacher, you..."

"What's that expression on your face?" Robert smiled: "Don't be sad, in this world, those who leave may not be unfortunate, and those who stay may not be lucky. I have lived too long and fought too long. Now I am leaving to participate in the last battle and face the most powerful enemy in history. I have escaped for too long, and it is time to avoid it. This battle will come sooner or later. Remember, wait a minute, you just need to watch, no matter what happens, don't intervene. This battle belongs to me, and you can't intervene in it. May my emperor bless you, and may the emperor protect me. "Robert waved his hand, opened a door from the void, and walked out.
