"Ding" basic skills, hand-to-hand combat upgrade.

The prompt sound from the sea of ​​consciousness awakened Xu Youran who was immersed in the battle. His consciousness probed into the sea of ​​consciousness and quickly checked.

Basic skills:

[Escape. (Not upgradeable)]

[Hand-to-hand combat, black iron quality LV2. (Upgradeable)]

Not bad, in less than a week, he has improved his hand-to-hand combat skills entirely by his own efforts. It seems that actual combat is the best way to learn.

Although it is only a small level upgrade, it makes him more flexible and his movements more swift and powerful.

He looked around and unknowingly, he had left the city wall for more than a thousand meters.

More than a dozen mutant beasts of various kinds were surrounding him, biting and howling frantically.

Although he was protected by the ice armor and would not be injured, his physical strength was being consumed in large quantities.

Xu Youran was ready to go back and rest. He kicked away several wild dogs that were blocking the way with a spinning kick and ran towards the city wall.

The daytime is not the peak period for mutant beasts to be active. Most of the mutant beasts that are roaming around are small black iron-level mutant beasts.

Xu Youran's ferocity also frightened these mutant beasts. Although they still chased him and bit him, they did not dare to get too close.

When he rushed up the gentle slope, a row of machine gun bullets swept over from above the city wall, and the mutant beasts that were chasing him were beaten into sieves.

Xu Youran rushed to the city wall, removed the ice armor, and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

A soldier next to him handed him a military water bottle, and he took it and drank cold water in big gulps.

Although he rushed down and fought for less than an hour, he fought desperately in the mutant beasts almost every second of this hour, which undoubtedly consumed a lot of physical strength.

After calming down, he began to carefully reflect on some of his gains and losses in the battle with the mutant beasts.

How to punch more directly and more effectively, how to make the side kick faster and more accurate.

Xu Youran not only has to fight, but also has to accumulate experience in the battle, summarize lessons and grow.

He himself knew very well that if he was not an awakener and had ice armor to protect his body.

If his hand-to-hand combat skills were not improved by a few levels, he would definitely be dead in five minutes at most.

He began to circulate the natural meridian to restore his physical strength. Others in the battle might only fight with pure physical strength, but he was fighting with physical strength and true qi circulation.

About two hours later, the nine turns of the natural meridian were completed, and his physical strength was almost restored.

Xu Youran stood up and looked at the soldiers around him who were looking at him with concern.

He jumped up, and the ice armor in the air "clicked" to protect his whole body, and flew to the bottom of the city wall again.

The people around, including those awakeners, were in an uproar.

"This kid is too crazy, this is a life-threatening training." Zhang Haiyang murmured.

"Should we go down to exercise too?" Yu Yue was a little tempted.

"If you want to go, you go. I don't have armor to protect my body. Going down is just sending myself to death..." Zhang Haiyang was frightened by Yu Yue's terrible idea.

Platoon Leader Yang also helplessly said to his soldiers: "Prepare fire support. When he retreats, you must do your best to ensure his safety."

A new round of actual combat training began, and Xu Youran could feel that he was making progress almost every second.

However, his combat was indeed too lethal to mutant beasts.

He himself had a defensive awakening skill, and hand-to-hand combat could only be considered as a barely entry-level skill.

Few mutant beasts were actually killed by him personally, and most of them were eaten by his companions after being injured by him.

But such a battle surrounded by enemies made his hand-to-hand combat skills improve rapidly.

It was finally time to change shifts and rest at night. Xu Youran rushed down twice that day, and the battle deep into the mutant beast group brought him huge gains.

On the second day of combat training, he had already started to fight back and forth with Liu Erkui.

Although he was still not Liu Erkui's opponent without using awakening skills, he could barely fight for a few rounds.

After just over a week of learning, he was already able to fight against experienced veterans. Such rapid progress impressed the soldiers who participated in the training.

Instructor Meng Wenxing couldn't help but sigh, "In another week, Liu Erkui should not be his opponent in a simple Sanda competition."

Xu Youran's terrifying growth rate is really amazing.

During the daytime, Xu Youran broke into the mutant beast group for actual combat training, and participated in special combat training during his rest time. His hand-to-hand combat ability improved by leaps and bounds.

In less than two weeks, Liu Erkui was no longer Xu Youran's opponent in a simple Sanda fight.

Xu Youran began to learn further hand-to-hand combat skills, the second type of boxing with very important practical significance: Muay Thai. 尒典)

The essence of Muay Thai is to mobilize all parts of the body that can form lethality to attack the enemy.

Attacks such as head, elbow, shoulder, knee, etc. that do not appear in Sanda techniques are common in Muay Thai.

Fierce Muay Thai has a stronger lethality, and this fighting style is more suitable for Xu Youran who is armed to the teeth.

Instructor Meng Wenxing gave him a sparring partner to guide his Muay Thai learning.

After learning Muay Thai, Xu Youran's fighting style became more fierce and violent.

When he rushed into the mutant beast group to fight, his lethality began to increase significantly.

He punched, elbowed, kneeled, and swept his legs, making the mutant beasts wail continuously. However, he only bullied ordinary mutant beasts, and there were not many black iron-level mutant beasts.

If he really encountered a group of black iron-level mutant beasts, he would either use hand-to-hand combat and earth spikes to strangle them, or there were too many of them, so he was scared and fled.

The duration of the battles he rushed into the mutant beasts during daytime duty gradually increased.

His physical strength and fighting skills were also rapidly improving, until one day he encountered two bronze-level mutant wild dogs.

Xu Youran's bronze-level earth spikes could no longer easily break the defense of the bronze-level wild dogs, and his hand-to-hand combat skills were not enough to form a decisive kill.

Although he finally strangled the last wild dog to death with brute force after a hard fight, he was so tired that he almost fainted.

He resisted the fatigue, broke off the teeth of two wild dogs, and collapsed directly after walking back to the city wall.

Some organs of bronze-level mutant beasts can be recycled. In previous battles, he had used a sword made of the horns of bronze-level mad bulls.

These two bronze-level wild dog teeth were given a nice name, called Tengu Fangs.

With human alloy technology, they can be made into boxing gloves, throwing knives, daggers and other weapons.

By handing in bronze-level materials, you can accumulate military merits in the newly established merit system of the military.

Xu Youran looked at the screen of his wrist phone, which had his military merit system records.

Name: Xu Youran.

[Gender: Male

Age: 23 years old

Position: 00QG025 Human Base Special Operations Platoon Leader

Rank: Second Lieutenant

Military Merit:

Bronze Merit +2

Silver Merit +1]

When he killed the silver-level demon ape, the military merit system had not yet been established, but the military later gave him this merit.

When the government realized that fighting against mutant beasts would become a protracted war.

The awakened people's combat weapons, supplies, and merits were quickly put on the agenda, and the military reprocessed all the captured mutant beast materials.

These new equipment and existing military equipment, even some previously top-secret latest military technology research results, were put into the merit reward list.

No matter who is registered with the military, they can exchange their merits with the military for the items they need.

As long as you have enough merits, some technological products of unknown civilizations, even the latest fourth-generation super bombs, can be exchanged for you.

But you have to use the super bombs reasonably under the supervision and guidance of the military, instead of using them to carry out terrorist attacks on humans.

Of course, exchanging those mysterious equipment and technologies requires a huge amount of merits, which is not a task that ordinary people can accomplish.

The merit system can also be used as currency for transactions, which greatly facilitates communication between awakened people.

After Xu Youran stepped over the basic threshold of hand-to-hand combat, his progress was rapid.

In less than a month, he had completed the study of Sanda, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and Israeli martial arts, the most important military martial arts.

What remained was how he practiced to make these basic skills become muscle memory, form conditioned reflexes, and be able to use them reasonably in combat.

Every other day of duty also became his actual combat training period, one day of study, one day of actual combat.

The regular life and training made Xu Youran look very different from a month ago.

His originally thin body began to show strong muscles.

The confidence and indifference brought by long-term high-intensity combat in his eyes made him look more heroic.

With the black camouflage combat uniform, he looked like a military general.

With the completion of the study of the Sanda part of unarmed combat, his basic skill: unarmed combat, was also upgraded to black iron quality LV5.

But he knew very well that unarmed combat was only one of the necessary skills on the battlefield, not all.

To increase the lethality against mutant beasts, the key is the use of weapons.

Thermal weapons have limited killing effects on mutant beasts. As the level of mutant beasts increases, the threat of thermal weapons will gradually decrease.

Mutants that reach the silver level are basically no longer afraid of the threat of conventional thermal weapons.

Mutants that reach the gold level are said to be able to resist most thermal weapons except super bombs.

There was a battle in West Asia where ground-to-ground Scud C missiles were used to bomb gold-level mutant beasts.

The result was that the gold-level mutant beasts were only injured, not killed, and this result shocked the global military.

If one day a mutant beast that exceeds the gold level evolves and reaches the diamond level, how much super bomb will be needed to destroy it?

The global military is madly investing in the development and research of the awakened's abilities. The power of thermal weapons has an upper limit, but the combat power of the awakened is unlimited.

With the right weapons, the awakened's powerful lethality against individual mutant beasts is unquestionable.

Therefore, Xu Youran proposed to instructor Meng Wenxing that while continuing to learn hand-to-hand combat, he should start learning the use of weapons.

Instructor Meng Wenxing found an instructor who is more proficient in the use of weapons, Sun Yuyang.

Instructor Sun Yuyang is only about 170 cm tall, in his forties, speaks Cantonese Mandarin, and is said to be from Fushan, the hometown of martial arts in southern Guangdong.

Regarding the choice of weapons, in order to improve combat power as soon as possible and to match his earth shield awakening skills, Xu Youran chose a single sword.

Xu Youran adjusted his study schedule. In the morning, he continued to learn the content of unarmed combat and grappling, starting with the enemy-grabbing fist. Then he would learn wrestling, judo, dragon-grabbing hand, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA and other unarmed combat techniques with the main purpose of subduing.

In the afternoon, he began to learn the weapon use techniques of single sword and earth shield, and returned to the barracks at night to practice natural sutra.

When on duty, he also rushed into the mutant beast group in the morning to continue to hone his unarmed combat skills, and rushed into the beast group with earth shield in the afternoon to practice single sword.

The days were spent in intense and regular training and fighting. Occasionally, a small beast tide would hit the city wall, but at most dozens of bronze-level mutant beasts would appear.

With the joint efforts of the garrison soldiers and awakeners, the beast tide was easily repelled.

More than two months passed in a flash, and it was already early winter.

Xu Youran's basic skills were improved again.

Basic skills:

[Escape. (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Unarmed combat, black iron quality LV9. (Upgradable)]

[Single Blade, Black Iron Quality LV5. (Upgradable)]

Xu Youran's wristwatch popped up a light screen, and the long-awaited mission finally arrived.
