Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 64: Grappling

He had been beaten up since childhood, and never before had he been thrown down so miserably without warning. In comparison, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s fall earlier had been much gentler.

After Leng Qi demonstrated all the improvements and additional moves, his whole body felt like his bones were about to fall apart, lying on the ground unable to get up.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. Indeed, her moves earlier were too simplistic; in sudden situations or under siege by two people, she had no power to fight back.

Looking at Leng Qi...

She realized, there was a deep chasm.

After all, in her previous life, the problem with societal thugs couldn’t be avoided with a bullet, and the things the coach could teach had no real combat experience, it was truly not enough.

But now it’s different, there are countless people with martial arts foundations, such as guards, government officials, soldiers, darts masters, knights, Jianghu disciples.

Characters that only existed in martial arts novels are now living beings all over the world, not to mention someone like Leng Qi, a cold-blooded killer who walked out of heaps of corpses and seas of blood.

Suddenly realizing, this world is more cruel, bloody, and violent than she imagined; human life isn’t that important, being weak is tantamount to life being as worthless as grass.

Her skills were simply not up to par.

Under this small patch of sky in the countryside, she was living well enough, but what about stepping out of this circle?

Would she still be able to protect the family she loves and safeguards?

Not to mention, this is a world headed towards extinction.

Up ahead is bound to be filled with wind, rain, thorny roads, and bloody massacres,

Previously, she had taken things too lightly, looking back, what she did was more like child’s play.

Is that so?

Is it truly meaningless?

Then what should she do?

The system felt the host’s low and melancholic emotions, and it too felt down. But thinking of this being the last chance, it didn’t want to be wiped out.

Thinking this way, it said aloud, "Host, 77 doesn’t want to be erased!"

The system’s words stunned Cheng Xiaoxiao!

Yes!

All this struggle amounted to her being too weak; she still had time, can’t she just ensure she survives, and then slowly grow stronger?

With so many strong figures in the world, she was just a drop in the ocean, who would care about an ant anyway? Before, she had thought too highly of herself, thinking she was important, but now she realized she’s just an ant, she just needs to thrive stealthily.

What she was doing seemed insignificant, but... ants in numbers can move elephants.

As long as she tries, there’s still hope, "77 don’t be afraid, I’ll try hard to complete tasks and make you stronger as well. We both must live well in this world."

The system was touched, "Mm, host we will both live well."

"Keep fighting!"

From this moment, she’s determined to become stronger. As long as her energy is amply abundant, her combat power will naturally increase, there’s no need to cultivate inner strength. Just like now, her strength had doubled, her body was lighter than before, all thanks to the energy feedback from helping the villagers.

Step by step!

Mm!

How does that saying go, never give up, never abandon!

Leng Qi noticed the female Rakshasa’s aura suddenly changed, it became... how should one put it, an aura of fearless courage.

Strange, the feeling came too abruptly, where does a little girl without any inner strength foundation get such an aura.

Just as he wanted to verify it... it disappeared.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s change in state of mind took only a few breaths, soon she quickly sorted out her emotions.

She wanted to personally demonstrate the effect, only to find Cheng Sicheng still on the ground.

"Are you okay!"

Cheng Sicheng felt somewhat embarrassed, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, struggling to stand up, but failed.

Suddenly, his nape tightened, and he was lifted up by Leng Qi.

"Your bones are great, they make good material for learning martial arts." Leng Qi suddenly appraised.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was delighted, "So you can take him in?"

Leng Qi wasn’t stupid. Out of all the people in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s family, she chose this kid, watching her expression as if she’d been wanting to say this for a long time, he could guess the reason.

"You bet with me all for this kid."

Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded, there’s no need to hide this, "So will you take him?"

"Hmph! Wait until you win the bet!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was deflated, what’s the big deal with having one more or less person!

Why be so serious?

Cheng Sicheng was shocked, he’d been training his physical strength at home every day, hoping Cheng Xiaoxiao would come to him, but seeing no movement, thought saying Coach Leng was hard to speak with was an excuse, he didn’t have any hope left, not expecting it would be true, and that Cheng Xiaoxiao had bet with Coach Leng for him.

By the way, they all seemed to call him Coach Leng, could he also call him that?

Thoughts whirled, wanting to say thank you, but not knowing how, if Xiaoxiao lost the bet, wouldn’t that mean he couldn’t learn?

Flip-flopping emotions of trouble and dissatisfaction surged.

No, he must become strong.

His eyes suddenly turned pitiful.

Right now, he was still weak, and could only be pitifully weak, so others would drop their guard against him.

At this moment, two people with different thoughts surprisingly both wanted to thrive stealthily.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had always had the system observe Cheng Sicheng, so these transformations didn’t escape the system’s notice.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn’t surprised, a child with potential for corruption must have many twists and turns inside, looking at everyone with ill intentions.

Take it slow!

The road is long!

After finishing teaching women’s anti-wolf techniques, Cheng Xiaoxiao and Leng Qi discussed how men should face enemies, this was Leng Qi’s specialty, and he quickly came up with a plan, teaching more than ten moves akin to grappling moves.

Cheng Xiaoxiao then found two more people to join the demonstration and practice, until the sunset, barely being able to connect all the actions, far from instantly doing it like Leng Qi.

However, as long as they didn’t encounter trained guards or get attacked by groups, with these moves practiced at speed, they could skillfully shield themselves.

"Coach Leng, do these moves have names?" She still had to write a training plan, it had to have a name.

"No!" He replied, turning to leave.

As always concise, alright! If there’s none, so be it.

Just call it Self-defense and Grappling!

Cheng Xiaoxiao generously wrote a training plan, mobilizing the villagers tomorrow, training the whole village, children aged 7-12 and women learning women’s self-defense, men aged 13-50 learning grappling.

Mm, the decision is happily made.

The next day

With one idea from Cheng Xiaoxiao, the whole village was stirred up, of course, at home she ruled with absolute authority, while in the village, things were sloppy, this could only be done by the village chief.

After communicating with Second Brother, a "Movement of the Entire Village in Martial Arts" document directly landed in the hands of the village chief.

When the village chief read the contents, he was passionately agreeing, truly Xiao foresaw wisely!

A comprehensive village meeting was thus in progress.

Considering the torrential rain and limited space, they didn’t require everyone to attend, just a representative from each family.

This time, surprisingly, the clan leader’s side didn’t oppose, cooperating fully. Cheng Xiaoxiao was also quite surprised, these old stubborn people weren’t stirring up trouble?
