Sure enough, boxing, Muay Thai, karate and judo all made an appearance in the following fight.
Luke and Nikki’s battleground expanded from the center to the entire gym.
The two of them were like agile monkeys. All sorts of fitness equipment became support props for their attacks and defense. They jumped and moved, and didn’t miss any opportunity to attack the other party. This made the match resemble actual combat even more.
Mindy and Monica couldn’t take their eyes off him. They were both very surprised. They didn’t expect the other party’s cousin / best friend to be so strong.
Then… nothing.
Luke suddenly approached Nikki and took two of her punches head-on before locking her right arm in place.
Nikki struggled for five seconds before she simply patted the ground and conceded.
When Luke got up, she smiled and pulled herself up. Rubbing her right arm, she said in disbelief, “You can suppress me with your strength?”
Amused, Luke raised his arm to show off his muscles. “Young lady, I trained as well. You’re strong enough to crush regular guys, but not strong enough to lift 200 pounds with one hand, so you don’t stand a chance.”
Nikki thought for a moment and accepted the fact. She shook her head with a bitter smile. “I’ve always felt that my fists are strong enough. I’ve always focused on footwork. It looks like I also need to practise ground fighting.”
Luke nodded. “You don’t have to force yourself if you don’t like it. You just need to focus on some defense training against ground fighting techniques. Few people are good at all combat skills. Choose the best approach for yourself and play to your strengths.”
As they talked, they walked to the side. Mindy and Monica heard everything clearly and agreed with Luke.
There was a limit to a person’s energy, and talent wasn’t omnipotent.
Rather than learn everything and not master anything, it was more practical to train in the area you had talent in.
After Nikki sat down, Luke looked at Monica with a smile. “Are we going to go a round too?”
Monica smiled bitterly. “I’m not your match.”
Luke chuckled. “I won’t bully you with my strength. How does that sound?”
Monica’s eyes lit up. “Are you serious?”
When Nikki fought her, she basically crushed her in terms of strength and proficiency, and won in one swoop.
Luke had exhibited just as much strength and skill as Nikki.
Monica knew very well that if she fought this stronger male version of Nikki, she would only lose more quickly and thoroughly.
But if he didn’t use his strength to gain the upper hand, and focused on exchanging pointers, she felt that she might not necessarily lose.
Luke raised his hand and indicated that they could start in the center of the gym.
Monica, however, said with a smile, “Your last fight was more interesting and more like actual combat. Should we do the same?”
Luke nodded. “Okay, bring it on.”
As soon as he said, “Okay,” Monica swept out a leg at his ankle.
Similarly, Luke aimed a punch at her face.

Monica didn’t panic. She leaned further back to avoid the attack, but her leg didn’t stop moving.
Luke stepped forward and seized the opportunity to punch her again. Monica had already finished the sweep with her leg, and it was no longer a threat.
The corners of Monica’s mouth curled up. Suddenly pushing off of the leg that had just hit the ground, she twisted around to kick Luke in the lower abdomen with her other leg.
Luke smiled happily and raised his arm to block it.
Monica suddenly pulled her leg back and avoided his arm. She flipped backward two meters and stood in place once again.
Luke wasn’t in a hurry to chase after her. Instead, he smiled and said, “You were holding back with that kick, right? That should’ve been a sneak attack, right?”
Monica was amused. “This is just a private spar, not a knockout competition. If I break you, someone’s heart will ache.” As she spoke, she glanced at Nikki.
Nikki’s face, which was red from her earlier exertion, flushed even harder.
Mindy rolled her eyes.
Thankfully, after that, Luke and Monica stopped joking, and the match officially began.
In just ten seconds, Nikki and Mindy realized that the two of them were evenly matched.
Unlike Nikki, who liked to use her strength to suppress her opponent, Monica’s advantage was her agility and technique.
Luke didn’t want to knock her into the wall with his shoulder and turn her to paste, and also just used technique to deal with her. It looked like a kung fu show.
But Mindy and Nikki both knew that this wasn’t a movie.
They were sitting less than two meters away, and were combat experts. They had a clear view of the fight, and became even more focused.
In all respects, Monica’s match was far more exciting than Nikki’s.
After Luke gave up his strength advantage, a fight based purely on technique was more moving for those who knew how to read it.
After all, they weren’t fighting to the death. The best was if this sort of spar could enlighten the participants and onlookers, which would be a pleasure.
It was the same for Luke.
He was even more excited than when he discovered that Nikki was a superhuman.
Ever since he obtained the super learning mode, he stopped pursuing combat skills.
He could easily kill combat experts with his gun.
The more combat experts he killed, the more combat abilities he obtained.
After he absorbed a person’s skill, he would switch to another person’s skill, and constantly build on his own combat ability.
Even without placing his full attention on it, he never stopped improving. A new ability that belonged completely to him had already appeared on his list of abilities — Elementary Combat Proficiency.
He didn’t spend any credit points, nor did he obtain it from some powerful opponent.
Just like that, Luke slowly accumulated, optimized and perfected the Basic Combat abilities of hundreds of people.
In fact, Luke had yet to run into an expert who had Elementary Combat Proficiency.
But today, he actually discovered a magical existence — Monica.
Monica’s combat skills far exceeded his expectations; from what Luke could see, he knew that she was at the peak of Basic Combat.
After all, Daddy System was very picky. The so-called Basic Combat encompassed everyone on Earth, from professional fighters to those at the peak of their skills.
To put it simply, anyone whose ability was between 60 and 99 was judged Basic by the system.
Technically speaking, people who scored 99 could instantly turn people who scored 60 into scraps, but they were all still Basic in the system.
As for Luke’s Elementary Combat Proficiency, it could be considered a level beyond 100.
As someone who had all sorts of Basic Combat skills, killing a top fighter who scored 99 was a piece of cake.
Elementary and Basic were completely different levels. The difference in strength was the same as between fifth and fourth generation fighter planes.
