Chapter 188: [Hardware Crushing]

"Game start!"

With Gideon's voice, another Apache fighting challenge began.

The so-called Apache fighting style has rules similar to those of later mixed martial arts, with fewer restrictions, and ground fighting is allowed and even encouraged.

The reason why grappling is encouraged is naturally because it is closer to actual combat. After all, no one will only use fists in a real fight.

It is also to reduce bleeding.

In boxing, especially the bare-knuckle boxing that is popular in this era, boxers fight without gloves and it is easy to get bloody heads. This is neither decent nor safe.

In comparison, using techniques such as naked choke and cross armbar to subdue the opponent without bleeding certainly seems more civilized.

Ma Shao also did the same during the battles in the past few days.

The boxers who came to challenge him always swung their raised fists fiercely, trying to break his nose with one punch.

He rarely does that, and while he has beaten every challenger in the past few days, he has barely managed a knockout.

Faced with many unfamiliar joint techniques and chokeholds, most challengers chose to surrender after realizing that they could no longer resist.

Of course, there are some challengers who are extremely reluctant to surrender, such as the challenger in front of us, Nicholas Ward.

This is a tough opponent, and it can even be said that it is the strongest opponent that Ma Shao has encountered in the past few days.

Ward is strong and fast, but more importantly, he is cautious and calm, or cunning. He is good at wandering and testing, unlike many challengers who wear aggression on their faces.

It was difficult for Ma Shao to touch him at one point, which led to the battle gradually turning into a protracted war with no result for half an hour.

Generally speaking, big guys have worse endurance. Ward is pursuing a protracted war strategy, so he should have the advantage.

But unfortunately he was wrong. Physical fitness is precisely Ma Shao's biggest advantage.

Although Ma Shao brought the future fighting system to the Apache, he was no longer the person who was most proficient in this system. There was more than one Apache who knew more about fighting than him.

But he remains unbeatable.

What makes him invincible in fighting is not only his fighting skills but also his nutrition.

In this era when the theory of evolution was still in its infancy, people knew almost nothing about nutrition.

As early as the beginning of his rebirth, Ma Shao began to use the knowledge he had learned to carefully plan the growth of this new body.

After years of persistence, scientific diet and exercise, he has achieved near-perfect physical fitness.

It is even possible that he now possesses the most perfect human body on the planet.

This not only makes Ma Shao extremely strong, but also more sharp and durable. This hardware crushing is the reason for his strength.

Ultimately, his physical strength is just an extension of the knowledge in his mind, much of which is still unknown to the public.

Behind Ward may stand all the boxers in London, but behind Ma Shao stand the greatest men of the past and future.

So the result of this protracted battle was that the little Ward was exhausted and out of breath, while Ma Shao still looked energetic, as if he could still run a marathon.

"How could this happen..." Ward gasped, looking at Ma Shao opposite him in disbelief, his mind going blank.

He was not a blindly confident person, but he never thought that he would be exhausted by a guy who looked so clumsy.

The current situation seems more like Ma Shao has launched a strategy of protracted war.

"Ward, what are you hesitating about! Go up and blow his head off!" More than half an hour of fruitless negotiations made many viewers impatient.

"Invincible Ward, KO him!" As a well-known boxer, Ward has many fans, and now they are shouting wildly.

Ward swallowed an almost nonexistent spit.

As these shouts echoed in my ears, the Indian in front of me looked even more terrifying. His skin, which turned red due to the intense exercise, looked like a burning North American bison.

It seemed as if the next second, this fiery North American bison would charge over with a roar and crush him.

Ward had roughly guessed the ending.

He kind of wanted to surrender, but the baggage of being a star stopped him.

Surrendering in front of so many fans and friends would undoubtedly be an unbearable humiliation for the famous boxer.

So he had no choice but to continue fighting, and gave up the strategy of a protracted war, instead launching more proactive and frequent attacks.

With the change in strategy, his situation became even more unfavorable and he was soon subdued by Ma Shao.

In the end, Ma Shao used a naked choke to knock Ward to the ground, announcing the end of the game.

"The game is over. Thank you Mr. Nicholas Ward for donating one pound to the victims! God bless this kind man!" Gideon stood up and said.

"It's more boring than I thought. I guess I shouldn't have expected too much from Ward," said William Thomson. "What do you think, Joule?"

Joule: "I don't quite understand it, whether it's boxing or... um, Apache fighting. Especially the last move that Ma Shao used, how did it make Ward faint all of a sudden?"

Thomson smiled and said, "Ma Shao told me that this move is called 'naked choke'. It can cause a person's brain to be deprived of blood for a short period of time, thus causing coma."

Joule hesitated and said, "It sounds dangerous. I hope nothing will happen to Ward."

Thomson: "Normally not. Ma Shao likes this trick very much, probably because it works quickly. I have seen him use it at least ten times, and each time the challenger fainted instantly, but woke up not long after... Look, Ward has woken up."

At this time, Ma Shao came over, wiping the sweat and dust off his body.

"A great win!" Thomson raised his beer.

Ma Shao laughed and said, "But I just heard you say that this is a boring game."

"Haha, you have really sharp ears." Thomson was stunned for a moment, "But a boring game and a beautiful victory are not contradictory."

"Ward is one of the most famous boxers in the UK. Look at these busy reporters. Believe me, every newspaper in the UK will mention the existence of an Apache God of War within the next week," he added.

Joule reminded, "There is also the Apache physicist, Ma Shao. We will go to Cambridge University to attend a meeting in three days."

Ma Shao nodded: "Indeed, the challenge in the boxing ring should come to an end first. I have to prepare for the challenge on the podium."

Thomson was startled. He was obviously quite interested in fighting. "Is the competition over here?"

"No, my people will replace me," said Ma Shao. "Although I am the founder of Apache fighting skills, I am not the most proficient one. My successors are more proficient than me, and they will definitely make it more perfect and more popular."

Joule blinked. "That sounds pretty close to science."
