108: Chapter 108 Combat Genius Hu Gualing

Hu Gualing felt such unwillingness in his heart.

The last time could be let slide; he had been ignorant and rushed in to feed without any preparation.

But this time, he had valuable combat experience, an attack skill leveled up to 5, and he was even wearing a pair of blue-quality brass knuckles. He had considered himself fully prepared, yet he was utterly thrashed by Miao Cuihua the moment they clashed... How could he endure this?

Furthermore, two people were watching from behind the transparent protective barrier. He had acted so confident on his way here, and now, in front of them, he couldn't even deplete Miao Cuihua's health bar. How could he show his face?

Hu Gualing racked his brains for a countermeasure.

Whether it was the good fortune of the simple-minded or just his natural quick-wittedness, at this critical moment, he actually thought of a skill.

"Lazy Donkey Roll": Use hands to support the ground and roll quickly, capable of dodging some attacks.

Oh no, how could he forget this skill! Although the skill name wasn't very high-end and the action wasn't particularly elegant when used, its practicality was quite good!

Come to think of it, although this special skill, Lazy Donkey Roll, was something he had comprehended in the game, he hadn't used it in the game since the moment he learned it—when he used it to toy with the water buffalo raised by Miao Cuihua. However, in reality, he had first used it to dodge a large truck, and later used it to escape from the beating of three robbers. After all this, Hu Gualing had almost subconsciously thought of it as a Move he naturally knew, rather than a skill from the game!

It was only now, being blocked by Miao Cuihua in front of the transparent protective barrier, which was somewhat similar to the scene of being beaten by the robbers—both situations where there was nowhere to retreat and he was facing ferocious guys—that Hu Gualing remembered the Lazy Donkey Roll skill.

This was a movement skill that couldn't cause any damage, but that didn't mean it couldn't be applied to offense. Coincidentally, Hu Gualing had some insights in this regard.

Seeing Hu Gualing's ever-changing expressions, Miao Cuihua assumed he was distracted and thinking about something. She didn't take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack like Hu Gualing might have; instead, she waited for a while with great martial integrity. But since Hu Gualing didn't respond, she grew impatient and said in a rough voice: "The crops in the field are waiting for me to plant them; I don't have time to mess around with you. Here I come!"

Her voice wasn't small to begin with—though, of course, not as deafening as Wang Dachui's—but it was quite loud. Furthermore, when saying the last sentence, she was afraid Hu Gualing wouldn't hear her due to his distraction, so she deliberately raised her voice by an octave. If Hu Gualing still didn't hear that, then it was his own fault.

Having done this, Miao Cuihua felt she had been very polite and not rude at all. Only then did she confidently swing her arm, smashing a fist the size of a sandbag down at Hu Gualing.

Tang Yao: "Ah! Gualing is scared silly; he can't even Move."

Xiao Niao also opened his eyes a tiny slit, peeking out through his fingers, but was immediately frightened. He quickly closed the gaps between his fingers to cover his eyes again, saying worriedly: "It's over, it's over. Gualing is done for this time."

But Hu Gualing, of course, wasn't scared silly; on the contrary, he was very calm and collected.

He recognized the fist smashing down in front of him; it was the second Move of the Farmers Three Punches—Farmers Two Punches.

However, even though he recognized it, he couldn't easily neutralize the attack like Miao Cuihua did to him.

As expected, although he had reached level 5, was he still not skilled enough? But come to think of it, it made sense; he hadn't put in much hard work practicing and had just popped an Experience Pill to jump from level 4 to 5, so he certainly couldn't compare to Miao Cuihua...

Hu Gualing's mind raced, thinking about trivial matters, but this didn't affect his combat state. Instead, he felt his control over his body had improved, and his perception had become sharper.

This state made Hu Gualing very pleasantly surprised.

Could it be that I was born for brawling? Oh, no, no, what should this be called... Oh, combat!

While Hu Gualing was still letting his imagination run wild, Miao Cuihua's fist rapidly enlarged in his pupils, and the wind from the punch made his scalp tingle.

Combat Genius Hu Gualing, without a trace of panic in his expression, calmly raised his hands and unleashed that long-lost Move: Lazy Donkey Roll.

Although he was sandwiched between Miao Cuihua and the transparent protective barrier, leaving very little space for Hu Gualing to Move, the Lazy Donkey Roll skill... didn't necessarily even follow the laws of physics, so this little bit of space was already enough for it to be deployed.

Hu Gualing was seen skillfully falling to his side. Just as his upper body was about to touch the ground, he supported himself with his arms and used the momentum of the fall to tuck his body into a ball, elegantly rolling two and a half times to escape Miao Cuihua's attack range.

And that wasn't the end of it.

Before Hu Gualing could stand steady, his body tilted forward again. As he fell, he bent his arms to support himself on the ground, tucked his body, and rolled—another elegant two and a half rolls.

In other words, he had rolled a total of two sets of two and a half rolls, which added up to five full rolls!

Of course... that wasn't the point.

The point was that Hu Gualing had used Lazy Donkey Roll twice in a row. First, he rolled sideways to dodge Miao Cuihua's attack, and then he rolled forward, towards Miao Cuihua's direction. The two rolls were smooth as flowing water, with a bizarre change in direction, tracing a ninety-degree angle on the ground. After the two rolls, Hu Gualing's position appeared behind Miao Cuihua.

Tang Yao's eyes widened, her mouth formed an 'O' shape, and she let out a sound of amazement.

Such an elusive movement technique, could it be Qinggong?

Hearing Tang Yao's exclamation, Xiao Niao couldn't help but open a gap between his fingers to peek through.

When he saw the scene inside, his expression suddenly changed. He no longer blocked his eyes with his palms but instead rubbed his eyes hard with the back of his hand, saying in disbelief: "How is that possible! How did Gualing suddenly get behind Miao Cuihua? Did he bring Flash?"

Miao Cuihua missed her punch and also rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Where is the person? Such a big person, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Could it be...

Miao Cuihua had an ominous premonition in her heart. Just as she was about to turn around, she happened to hear a voice full of Aura coming from behind her.

"Farmers — One — Punch!"

Miao Cuihua was startled and quickly turned her head. Sure enough, she caught a glimpse of Hu Gualing, who had somehow gotten behind her, shouting the slogan and swinging his fist at her.

How similar this scene was to the last time. Last time, Hu Gualing had also used this tone to shout "Tathagata God Fist," "Invincible God Fist," or whatever, and the result was naturally self-evident.

But this time it was different.

The "Farmers One Punch" he shouted wasn't something he had made up himself; it was the first Move of the Farmers Three Punches. The Move had no frills, just a straight punch smashed out...
