Chapter 96 Spiral Fight
Luo Hao looked at the situation in the bucket and couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.
He originally thought that this attack from Ida-senpai would be not much different from his own, but the scene before him completely overturned his imagination.
The water in the bucket formed an obvious vortex under Senior Ida's punch, and the center of the vortex was still spinning at a high speed, as if there was a force attracting the surrounding water and making the water circulate around the wall of the bucket.
Luo Hao was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He stammered, "How...how...is this possible?
Ida-senpai, how did you do it?"
Senior Ida smiled and explained, "This is the secret of the spiral fight.
The punch you just threw was just an ordinary straight punch. Although it was powerful, it lacked rotational power.
The spiral boxing is to make the fist generate rotational force while punching, so that the force can be released in a more concentrated way and produce greater effect.
When you punch, imagine that your fist is like a spinning drill, with not only forward impact but also rotational force.
That way, your punches will be more focused and more penetrating.”
Luo Hao was fascinated by what he heard. He had never thought that boxing could be so mysterious.
A strong desire for knowledge surged in his heart, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Then how should I practice?
I want to learn this skill too!"
Senior Ida nodded and continued, "To master the spiral fighting technique, it requires long-term practice and accumulation.
First, you need to start with the basics and learn how to punch and use force correctly.
Then, gradually increase the power of rotation to make the punch more penetrating.
Remember, don’t rush for success, but take it one step at a time.”
In his fantasy, Luo Hao felt that he was already standing on the podium of the Rookie of the Year Award. The brilliant light and the warm applause from the audience intertwined into a beautiful picture.
However, just as he was immersed in this wonderful fantasy, a cold and calm voice poured into his ears like a clear spring, pulling him back to reality from that wonderful dream.
"However, Luo Hao, you need to understand that even if you have mastered the spiral fighting technique, your chances of winning against an opponent like Yoshida Takeo will still not be very high." Ida's voice, although calm, was like a sharp sword that pierced directly into Luo Hao's heart.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Luo Hao's face, and his bright eyes were sparkling with unwillingness and doubt.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Ida-senpai, I don’t understand.
Why can't I easily defeat Yoshida Takeo even though I learned the spiral fighting technique? "
Ida did not answer immediately, he just stared at Luo Hao quietly.
Coach Murunouchi, who was standing by, slowly spoke up when he saw this: "Luo Hao, Senior Ida's spiral fighting is not just for the purpose of simply increasing the lethality of the fist.
This strike is a unique punching technique that he has carefully researched and developed targeting specific parts of the human body."
Luo Hao was shocked when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Coach Murenouchi, please tell me quickly, which part of the human body has a special effect on this technique."
"Heart!" These two words were uttered almost at the same time by President Kamogawa, Manager Yagi, Coach Kuronouchi and Senior Date.
Luo Hao lowered his head and thought, "This spiral fighting technique seems to be quite famous. It seems that many people know this technique, which means that Yoshida Takeo is likely to know this technique as well."
Suddenly Luo Hao raised his head, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes: "I understand, Senior Ida.
What you mean is that if I use the spiral fighting technique to attack Yoshida Takeo's heart, he might be able to detect my intention in advance.
If I succeed, I can certainly inflict heavy damage on him; but if I fail, he will become more alert and deliberately defend his heart, thus not giving me the chance to do so again."
Senior Ida nodded slightly after hearing this, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: “Not bad, Luo Hao.
I was surprised that you understood the mystery so quickly.
A person who is hit in the heart by the spiral punch will experience a brief heart rhythm imbalance, and his whole body will become stiff during this brief period of time. This brief period of stiffness of the opponent is the best opportunity for you to knock him out with a heavy punch.
However, it is not easy to hit the opponent's heart with a spiral punch, as boxers are accustomed to protecting their arms in front of their chests.
Your heart is only exposed when you punch, and your heart is protected by the sternum, so you must have enough penetrating power when performing the spiral strike.
Therefore, if you want to hit a perfect spiral strike, it is more likely to appear on the counter punch. "
After listening to Senior Ida's in-depth explanation of Spiral Fighting, Luo Hao's face showed a thoughtful expression.
He stroked his chin, his eyes twinkling, obviously thinking hard.
After a moment, he raised his head and asked Ida a unique and in-depth question: "Senior Ida, can your spiral fighting be performed in the form of an uppercut or a swing punch?
I think if you only have the straight punch, it will be difficult for your opponent to hit your heart with the spiral punch if he knows your strengths. "
Luo Hao's question immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all focused their eyes on Ida, waiting for his answer.
Being stared at by so many people, Ida smiled slightly awkwardly.
He shook his head and said slowly: "Everyone thinks too highly of me.
The Spiral Fight is a killer move I developed specifically for Rickalud Maltese. Unfortunately, I have retired now and am just an insurance salesman.
That move will always be a regret for me because I failed to defeat Rickalud Maltese with it.
So, for me, its ultimate form can only be the straight punch at the moment."
Ida's words made everyone present feel a little regretful, but at the same time they also had a deeper understanding of Spiral Fighting.
At this time, President Kamogawa glanced at his watch and suggested with a smile: "It's time for dinner. I'll treat everyone to barbecue tonight."
Luo Hao stood up, turned to everyone and said, "Senior Ida is here mainly to guide me this time, how can I let President Kamogawa spend money?
Please come to my restaurant to eat Chinese food! And let me express my gratitude to Mr. Date. "
Luo Hao's words made the atmosphere more warm and harmonious.
Everyone knows that Luo Hao is a grateful person. He is willing to express his respect and gratitude to Mr. Ida in his own way.
So, everyone agreed and prepared to go to Luo Hao's Chinese restaurant to enjoy a delicious Chinese meal.
In the following days, Luo Hao's boxing training became more intense and focused.
He received a notice from Manager Yagi and learned that Yoshida Takeo was unstoppable in the competition, defeating his opponent in just one round and successfully advancing to the Rookie of the Year semi-finals.
This news not only doubled the pressure on Luo Hao, but also inspired him to fight harder.
The Rookie of the Year semi-final between Luo Hao and Takeo Yoshida will be held in the 15th day. This period of time is crucial for Luo Hao.
He knew very well that in order to win the competition, he had to use his spiral fighting skills to the extreme.
Senior Ida would come to Kamogawa Boxing Gym after get off work every day to give Luo Hao one-on-one guidance.
Ida stood beside Luo Hao, his face serious, and instructed him meticulously: "I'll say it again, don't pay attention to your fist.
Try to learn how to deliver a spinning punch using the muscles at the back of your arm that are most beneficial, primarily your shoulder and back muscles.
What you want to do is rotate your forearm and elbow so that your fist will naturally rotate with it.
Relax your arms and engage your lats and shoulders.
As long as you use the force correctly, you will feel that this is a very powerful spiral punch."
Luo Hao listened attentively to the teachings of Senior Ida. He constantly adjusted his movements, trying to find the best way to exert force.
The special training of spiral fighting lasted for a whole week, during which Luo Hao made tremendous efforts.
Through this week's special training, Luo Hao's spiral punch has made significant progress. Every punch is accompanied by a sharp whirlwind and a "whoosh" sound of wind.
When Senior Ida called for a stop, Luo Hao immediately stopped.
He felt that he had basically mastered all the techniques of spiral fighting and his heart was filled with gratitude.
He bowed deeply to Ida-senpai: "Ida-senpai, I don't know how to thank you."
Ida patted Luo Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You're welcome, little brother.
I have a very close relationship with Yibu. You are his student, which means you are my junior. It is only right for me to come and give you some guidance.
Before I go, I have a piece of advice for you.
You can use the last time before your fight with Takeo Yoshida to go to the swimming pool and use the resistance of the water to further strengthen your spiral fighting.
Well, I'm leaving now, and I won't say goodbye to you any more."
When Yida's back disappeared at the entrance of the boxing gym, Luo Hao couldn't help but shout, "Senior Yida..."
There was a strong sense of reluctance and respect in his voice.
Ida's voice could be heard faintly from outside the gym: "My spiral fighting technique is also a skill that works in the world arena. Please don't humiliate my reputation..."
Senior Ida's words made Luo Hao's blood boil.
He knew that he had to give it his all, because he was carrying the expectations of world-class seniors, and he absolutely could not fail in such a small East Japan Rookie King Tournament.
