After a morning of training, both of them had made noticeable progress.
After finishing lunch, they rested for more than an hour.
Luke used the second jiu-jitsu card and sparred with the Latin American boy again.
At this moment, the power of the jiu-jitsu card became apparent; Luke's progress was far faster than the Latin American boy's, changing from an initial equilibrium to gradually suppressing his opponent.
The Latin American boy was initially reluctant to accept his inferiority, trying to turn the tables a few times but failing each time, until he was eventually left without the spirit to continue.
After the training ended, the second jiu-jitsu card was also used up, and a voice rang in Luke's mind, "Congratulations to the host for unlocking all of your technical talent with the assistance of the jiu-jitsu card, approaching the standard of a professional jiu-jitsu fighter."
Hearing this voice, Luke knew his jiu-jitsu learning had come to a pause.
Moreover, after using up the boxing card last time, he had received a similar message, though there was a slight difference between the two.
Luke remembered that the message from the boxing card was that he had reached the standard of an ordinary professional boxer.
Whereas the jiu-jitsu card indicated that his jiu-jitsu technical talent was approaching that of a professional.
One was 'achieved,' the other 'approaching.'
Although the difference was slight, overall, Luke's boxing talent might be slightly higher.
Natasha had been accompanying Luke throughout his training, and she saw his progress before her eyes, and with amazement in her heart.
She felt that she had discovered a genius, as Luke's progress exceeded her expectations, and with some more practice, he would be entirely qualified to participate in professional competitions.
"Luke, I have time tomorrow. Are you coming to train?"
"No, I have to work tomorrow."
Natasha frowned slightly, "Luke, you have a lot of talent in jiu-jitsu, and I think you should spend more time on it, maybe it's more promising than being a police officer."
"Thanks for the compliment, but I still prefer being a police officer."
"Okay, when do you plan to come for training next time?"
"It's hard to say, I might be quite busy for the next while and won't have much time for training." Luke's jiu-jitsu talent had reached its peak, and further practice would not result in significant improvement.
"Listen, you have a real talent for jiu-jitsu, and I don't want you to just give up on it."
Luke said, "Natasha, Coach, I'm not giving up. I'll still come back to practice when I have time.
I've learned a lot of jiu-jitsu techniques from you, and that's enough for now."
"Hey, before you make such bold claims, you have to defeat me first." In Natasha's view, Luke's jiu-jitsu level had improved rapidly, but technique-wise, he still fell far short of her.
Luke retorted, "Is that necessary?"
"If you can defeat me, I'll agree that you are ready to graduate, otherwise, do not say that you were my student." Natasha's tone carried a hint of frustration, as if lamenting his unfulfilled potential.
She didn't want Luke to give up practicing jiu-jitsu and hoped that sparring with her would make him realize his shortcomings.
Besides, she felt that Luke was somewhat underestimating jiu-jitsu and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Luke laughed, "Natasha, Coach, I'm a police officer. In a fight with a suspect, I don't just use jiu-jitsu; I use other fighting skills as well."
Natasha laughed too, "Are you saying that you've been holding back all this time?"
"No, what I mean is that my fighting skills are quite eclectic, and jiu-jitsu just fills the gaps, making me even more capable."
You think the rules of jiu-jitsu limit your strengths?
No problem, you can use other fighting skills. Just go for it." Natasha was full of confidence in her own abilities.
"Are you sure?" Luke was also eager to engage Natasha, a jiu-jitsu expert, in a real fight.
Whether it was boxing or jiu-jitsu, there are rules, but real fighting has no rules.
He wanted to see if, without rules, he could go all out and defeat Natasha.
These days, always being suppressed by Natasha in sparring had left Luke feeling somewhat frustrated.
The time to test the results had arrived.
