As the saying goes, "It's better to take ten punches than one elbow strike."
After landing a successful blow, Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jaa pressed forward relentlessly.
Muay Thai, known as "Muay Thai" in Thai, boasts a 500-year history. It is said to have evolved gradually over a long period of ancient warfare and is considered one of the most ferocious and brutal fighting techniques. Over time, numerous schools have emerged, each with its own unique skills. Among the classical Muay Thai styles practiced by female fighter Sunny Jaa, ten techniques are highly practical in actual combat.
The Heavenly King's Wheel Throw, one of the ten techniques he just used, knocked down Chen Xian in his Rattlesnake form with a single elbow strike, demonstrating its immense power.
Before Chen Xian could struggle to his feet, Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jai rushed forward and unleashed another move: "Hermit Throws Himself into the Lake".
The Flying Headbutt is a self-sacrificing attack technique from Muay Thai. Once the opponent's center is wide open, the attacker leaps into the air, parallel to the ground, and delivers a devastating headbutt. This move is strikingly similar to Edmund Honda's Super Headbutt from Street Fighter. Normally, a human physique is completely incapable of achieving a Super Headbutt from Street Fighter. However, don't forget their fighting armor!
Sunny Ja, the Muay Thai fighter who was suspended in mid-air, crashed into Chen Xian, the second-in-command of the Water Spirit Gang, like a comet hitting the earth, leaving a sonic boom and afterimages.
Before his jawline could regenerate and recover, his forehead was hit hard again.
Don't forget Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jaa in full armor, complete with a helmet!
With a loud "bang!", brain matter splattered. The entire triangular snake head was forcefully smashed into a trapezoid shape. The pointed forehead was completely flattened!
"Hiss—Hiss—" The second-in-command of the Water Spirit Gang was in excruciating pain.
Using the recoil to land gracefully, Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jaa was completely stunned. Her "Hermit's Lake Dive" move was clearly distorted.
Before she could ask, the armored AI gave her the answer: "You have enabled 'automatic correction' by default."
"So?" Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jaa stood up quickly.
"Moves executed within the specified range will be automatically corrected to classic moves stored in the database." The armored AI even gave an analogy: "It's like 'lane correction' in autopilot mode. Once you cross the line, it will automatically correct itself."
"I see." Muay Thai fighter Sunny Ja immediately ordered, "Disable all assistive functions."
"Are you sure?" The armored AI needed to confirm again.
“Confirmed.” Looking at the Water Spirit Gang’s second-in-command, whose head had now grown back into a triangular shape, Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jae said firmly, “This is the martial artist’s ‘path of cultivation’.”
"Understood." The armored AI immediately deactivated all auxiliary functions of the combat armor, returning the fight to the Muay Thai fighter in its original form. Of course, against the mutant snake-man, a powerful suit of armor is an indispensable plot variable for balancing the strength of both sides.
With a sudden jolt to her shoulders, Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jaa tensed up instantly.
Fortunately, only the auxiliary combat function was turned off. Essential basic functions such as power and life support were not affected. The reason for the momentary feeling of heaviness was that the "kinetic energy nozzle," which simulates light footwork and constantly adjusts posture, was turned off.
Each of these items, taken individually, represents an incredible integration of high-tech equipment, and even the so-called "basic" combat armor is far more powerful than the characters in the show could imagine.
Similarly, Chen Xian, the second-in-command of the Water Spirit Gang, whose strength had been greatly enhanced by a mutant gene serum, also adhered to the old rules of street fighting. He took a stance and faced off one-on-one against Muay Thai fighter Sunny Jaa. His machete transformed into sharp, venomous snake claws, his mutant scales became full-body armor, and his shrieking tail served as a mental attack. Coupled with his regenerative and powerful physique, Chen Xian's strength was in no way inferior to that of top-tier fighters.
The painful lesson of having his triangular head split open made him even more cautious.
If you were to switch to a third-person wide-angle view at this point, it would truly resemble a Mortal Kombat game set against a backdrop of Mayan pyramids.
"Huh?" With the help of the armored helmet's visual imaging, Wu Chen, who was closely observing the battlefield, discovered that his combo skill, which allowed him to "grab" wild characters (unowned cards) scattered outside the domain and intersecting with specific characters in the story, was clearly met with strong resistance from Chen Xian, the second-in-command of the Water Spirit Gang.
It's important to know that Wu Chen's exclusive combo skill release process involves first focusing on the target character with "All-Dimensional Vision," where the "vision" unfolds in all dimensions, like starlight traveling through countless broken spacetime facades, connecting the plot threads that intertwine with it; then, another protective skill, "Mind Control," is immediately activated, teleporting characters from the story who have crossed paths with her in the unknown broken spacetime to the scene.
Besides Wu Chen's personal presence as "the man with the exclusive branch storyline of 0326," he can also successfully release the target with the help of the group of female companions' "informants." He could even first activate "mind control" to "capture" the target in front of him, and then activate "omnidirectional vision," which is entirely possible. However, it's important to note that another crucial factor for success is the target's "mental resistance." The stronger the resistance, the lower the success rate.
Clearly, Chen Xian, the second-in-command of the mutant snake-man Water Spirit Gang, strongly resisted the release of Wu Chen's exclusive combination skill.
To get rid of his resistance, all you need to do is "dissuade him from this idea." The method is simple: beat him until he's crying for his parents and has no chance to fight back.
Their eyes met. They attacked simultaneously.
The mutant snake-man moves like a dragon, lunging and grabbing at the lower body.
The Muay Thai female fighter's flying kick is actually the "Deer Shining with Antlers" move from the Ten Forms of Ancient Boxing.
The core movement of this technique is a leap forward, first launching a feint with the front foot to instantly exploit a defensive opening, then striking the opponent's head with the back foot. It can also be preceded by a leg kick to lure the opponent into adjusting their defense, allowing for a high kick.
"Smack! Smack!" A series of flying kicks landed squarely on the mutant snake-man's head, interrupting his pounce and causing him to lean backward.
With both feet on the ground, the female Muay Thai fighter launched herself into a flying knee strike, executing the "Monkey King Soaring" move from the ten ancient Muay Thai styles.
A skilled Muay Thai fighter uses a high kick to feint at the opponent, and once the opponent leans back to avoid it, immediately turns and pushes off the ground to launch a flying knee attack on the opponent's head. Experienced Muay Thai fighters are adept at using both feints and real attacks, preventing their opponents from knowing their true intentions. A seemingly fierce attack often precedes the real killing blow.
"Bang!" His jaw snapped open. The mutant snake-man was sent flying by a knee strike.
Using the momentum, the female Muay Thai fighter landed steadily, then performed a back kick followed by the "crocodile tail swing" from the ten styles of ancient Muay Thai.
Inspired by the ferocity of the crocodile, whose tail strikes with devastating force, a backswing kick can be used to launch a sudden attack when the opponent is off guard, catching them completely off guard. The power of the backswing kick comes from the momentum of the body's forward thrust combined with the backward swing of the waist and legs, creating a sharp force. The movement of the foot, the body rotation, and the leg extension must be executed in one fluid motion for the kick to be truly powerful!
"Bang!" The mutant snake-man coughed up blood and flew backward, his entire chest cavity collapsing.
