Pro Wrestling System

Chapter 77: Tactical Combat Training (II): Pointless Target

Arnold was quite disappointed in himself after the system's complaint. Although the poor performance didn't come from low speed, he lacked absolute focus which actually led to a low, disappointing speed.

He was smart enough to react to the punch, but due to low focus, he made quite a bad move in the sneak attack, having to spend three seconds to sneak and make a satisfying tight hold on the forged humanoid structure's waist.

Raged and willing to get this done, Arnold quickly tried again, this time having full focus. He activated the humanoid structure's arm to launch the punch again, and he was very careful this time.

He wasn't even moved by the swiftness or fierce aura of the punch because he had already dodged moments before the fist could get to him. With a spread beyond human realization, Arnold sneaked to the back of the structure, delivering a strong grip on its waist.

[Good job, host. Repeat the move ten more times.]

Arnold was glad that he made the sneak attack in a second! Judging by a normal human standard, this was insane! But for him, who had been granted great advancing Attributes from the Pro Wrestling System, it was likely surprising, but it wasn't going to be strange.

Although he was human, he is just a different version of humanity now... With the system's influence, Arnold was like an evolving figure.

An evolving human getting his Attributes and physical fitness to a different, devastating level.

Arnold repeated the sneak attack move ten more times as the system ordered, and after that, they moved on.

[Second Practice: Suplex/Neckbreaker...]

[Different common moves could be done when in control of an opponent from behind. Having an opponent attacked behind is one of the best opportunities a wrestler would ever have, so you have to come up with a good decision at any point of this event.]

The system decided to let Arnold choose a move he would deliver to the opponent, leaving him to think for a while.

"How about the RKO? I can just force the opponent to turn and deliver the RKO," Arnold suggested.

[That's a very bad decision, host. Smart opponents are likely to react quickly and save themselves before you can deliver the RKO. They could even attack you instead.]

Arnold shrugged.

Realizing it, he saw that what the system said really made sense. For someone like Jerry Blaze, who had great reaction speed, having to launch an RKO against them at the beginning of a match was almost impossible.

He hesitated for a while again and made another decision.

"Okay... The German Suplex then," Arnold spoke.

The system had added a few common moves to his arsenal lately, so Arnold had a variety of attack factors in store. Although the system had warned him not to use some of these moves...

Although he didn't know why, he knew that he didn't really have to use all the moves... It was basically going to give him an indifferent identity.

Having to deliver the vertical suplex to an opponent required Strength, Agility, and Attack Power. Although this was tactical training... While skills were needed, some attribute factors needed to be applied to make the move even possible.

It wasn't the first time Arnold was having a practice of the German Suplex. In fact, this move was one of the most taught wrestling moves in Rising Impact University during the first and second-year sessions.

The only difference was that Arnold would need to be applying great pressure like never before, and also making a perfect attack.

Luckily, the Suplex turned out to be perfect after a few repeats, and the system still urged him to make several perfect slams yet again.

Arnold wouldn't complain because he understood everything. To be perfect, he had to practice more and more...

It was only a matter of time before the world would see him as one of the most skillful professional wrestlers alive!

The German Suplex training lasted for about thirty minutes because they moved on.

[Third Practice: Out-ring Moonsault.]

[This is a high-flying move that is mostly used by fearless and skillful fighters. Although you are advised only to use them against the opponent when outside the ring.]

[It is a flying move whereby you dive while making an upside-down turn. Instead of launching the Suicide Dive several, the Moonsault could be useful. Although it is best used against a lesser number of opponents. One of perhaps... Two.]

"Let me perfect this move then."

Although he was a little confused, Arnold was eager to practice this move. He was someone who took risks as a minor factor, always interested in something that gave high rewards regardless of the task.

Even if it seemed impossible, Arnold Gallagher was never gonna care!

The Moonsault looked extremely risky... Having to jump from the top turnbuckle, diving with a turn, was indeed a big deal.

Arnold didn't find it risky anyway... Even though it was undeniable, he didn't just let some dark thought envelop his mind.

Within seconds, he was already on the top turnbuckle with the two forged humanoid structures placed standing outside the ring.

He was given guidance on how to launch the move perfectly again, and now it was time to work it out.

"Pheww, you can do this Arnold," Arnold said to himself, motivated.

Then after another long yet soft exhale, he dived down against the two forged humanoid structures.

Due to not having practiced this move often before, the speed and pressure in which he landed weren't fierce enough to be called "perfect."

But that wasn't the one case...

Unfortunately, Arnold failed to land on both forged humanoid structures due to having a pointless target.

It wasn't as if he was that bad at diving, he only lacked target on the opponent.

One humanoid structure was down, with the other left standing, unharmed.

[Fifty percent perfect. Again!]

"Wait, my ankle hurts inside. I think my bone shifted somewhere."

Arnold held his left ankle with a look of pain on his face. He was clear that he hadn't landed well, and that was just a result of his pointless target and low-graded flying skill.

[It is a shifted joint. It would be placed and all the pain would be gone in five minutes.]

Truly, after five minutes, the pain was gone and Arnold felt the rigidity of his ankle back at normal.

With a mix of gladness and yet eagerness on his pale face, Arnold returned to the top turnbuckle and continued his practice.

"This time, no pointless target..."
