Martial art

Curious Scar asked more about how Alex knew Tai Chi.

"I told you that I studied the history of humanity, didn't I? That includes ancient temples and cultures, and within that, I studied and practiced Tai Chi and various martial arts. I've always been into sports, boxing, judo, swimming, even skydiving, although by the time I learned Tai Chi, I was already over 50, so I couldn't progress much. That doesn't mean I forgot things. Besides, the body of an Australopithecus is different from a human, so it had to be adapted. Therefore, there's a basis in Tai Chi, but it's not purely that. I was thinking of naming it Ancestral Art since it's kind of an ancestral version of Tai Chi, considering it's being used by an ancestral version of humanity," said Alex.

Looking at him incredulously, Scar commented on the name of this technique. "You have a good sense for naming things, but 'Ancestral Art' sounds like something for people of the future to talk about. For us, you should give it another name, but of course, that's just my opinion."

Returning to the topic of fighting, Scar added, "Even if your champion uses martial arts, I still doubt he'll win against my son," said Scar.

Smiling at Scar, Alex replied, "You would be right if it were a common form of martial art for humans. But this isn't an art made for humans; I created it for fighting against other Australopithecus. So, you'll soon see that you've underestimated the boy too much," said Alex.

Turning back to the fight, Alex grinned with satisfaction.

In his head, he was quite proud of Aurelio for learning how to use the modified version of Tai Chi, even if it had been just a few hours of teaching. If it weren't for the fact that the learning speed was extremely faster than that of a normal human being, this would be impossible.

Looking at Aurelio, Snow questioned him.

"What's this strange form you're in? Is this your hope to defeat me? Well, if it is, you'd better give up and not change a thing!" declared Snow.

Charging at Aurelio, Snow attacked again, this time without any mercy, seeming to have entered a berserk mode.

Despite having difficulty dodging, Aurelio didn't lose his posture, evading each attack, and finally, he began to retaliate.

With every attack from Snow, Aurelio counterattacked at his joints, and with each of Aurelio's attacks, Snow lost his balance.

When Snow struck with his arms aiming for Aurelio's head or upper body, Aurelio attacked his elbows, ribs, and by deflecting using his claw-like palm, he attacked his chin.

Thus, it became a battle of endurance; whoever tires out loses.

If Snow lands a blow, Aurelio might die, but if Aurelio continues to dodge, Snow might lose due to exhaustion.

"Let's see how long you'll keep dodging, kid!" Snow said angrily.

"Coming from the guy who can't even hit a mere child," Aurelio sarcastically retorted.

At the same time, the audience on both sides watched with emotions running high.

In everyone's mind was how incredible this fight was turning out to be.

In Alex's men's minds, most were thinking, "I'll never irritate Aurelio again, especially Max, who used to pick on Aurelio the most."

In Martin's mind, he could only be impressed even though it was the second time he had seen this, but this time it was much more intense.

"I think he's improved from yesterday to today. Even though I managed to land some blows at the beginning, later on, he could completely evade them. But if I really tried, I could land a hit. But I think if it were now, I wouldn't be able to land a single blow. I guess I'm really getting old," thought Martins
