Chapter 200: Chapter 179 The Name of Wu Li

Hu Shan’s chest was shattered by a fierce Dragon Body Bending strike from Wu Li, and he was sent flying, falling to the ground.

Wu Li, looking down at Hu Shan who hadn’t yet breathed his last but had lost the ability to move, heaved a sigh of relief, and finally couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood and spat it out.

In fact, with his current realm, he wasn’t yet capable of using Dragon and Tiger Power in real combat. Just now, under the immense pressure given by Hu Shan, coupled with the fear of death, at the brink of life and death, Wu Li’s focus concentrated like never before, becoming clear and sharp, allowing him to momentarily use Dragon and Tiger Power, completing a dodge and counterattack with the Dragon Body Bending killing move.

However, this wasn’t actually Wu Li’s true level of skill; he had performed above his level. Urgently spurring the Dragon and Tiger Power had also inflicted no small injury to his body.

Now Wu Li felt weak all over, his limbs lacking strength, first having run at full speed through the forest, then immediately afterward bursting forth with full strength to quickly kill Ruan Changheng, and finally clashing with Hu Shan, achieving a counter-kill amidst a life-and-death struggle. Though it didn’t take long, Wu Li’s exertion was huge, with little left of either physical or mental energy, and on top of that, he was injured. Now, let alone a master-level martial artist, even a black-belt student from the Shaquan Dojo could defeat him, and he could only be knocked down.

He looked around and spotted the mobile phone tossed aside, slowly walked over, bent down to pick it up, wiped the rainwater off the transparent waterproof bag on the outside, and switched the camera back to face himself.

The viewers in the live stream room were anxious, not expecting Wu Li to appear on camera so soon.

"Is it over?"

"Did you win?"

"That was fast!"

"Host, quickly tell us what happened!"

"Are you hurt, host?"

...

Wu Li looked at the camera and smiled, "It’s over, I won, got hurt a little, but I’m okay."

After saying that, he pointed the phone at Hu Shan lying on the ground not far away, paused for a few seconds, and then turned it toward Ruan Changheng lying on the other side.

"Wow, one against two, a counter-kill!"

"Hu Shan is known as Southeast Asia’s number one, from now on, Wu Li is Southeast Asia’s number one!"

"Holy shit, that’s so awesome, this victory is absolutely genuine, to win against two!"

"Currently, the UFC lightweight world-ranked tenth from Southern Country doesn’t consider himself Hu Shan’s match, and now Wu Li has won against Hu Shan in a two-against-one fight, this shows Wu Li’s strength is far above that Southern Country fighter, meaning if Wu Li went to fight in the UFC, he’d definitely rank in the global top ten!"

"That would be making history. Our country’s highest male ranking in the UFC is number thirteen; no one has ever made it into the top ten!"

"I actually think the title of ’Southeast Asia’s number one in actual combat’ has more clout than being in the UFC’s world top ten, after all, this is real combat."

"Haha, both are badass!"

...

The comment section was full of praise, and various gifts kept coming.

Wu Li smiled in thanks, then sent his location to Chen Gang, waiting for the police to arrive.

...

Around five o’clock in the morning, Yuhe City police’s sudden operation was declared over.

In total, over a hundred police officers were deployed, conducting a surprise attack on Shaquan Dojo, where they encountered at least ten armed individuals who resisted; all were shot and killed on the spot.

Yuhe City police had seventeen officers wounded in this operation, with three officers killed in action. Fifteen drug traffickers were shot dead, twenty-six were arrested, and fifty-three kilograms of drugs were seized on the spot!

This was Southern Country’s largest single drug haul in nearly ten years, a great achievement for the Yuhe City police force. But the primary hero was not any police officer but a citizen of Hua Country.

Wu Li was first taken to hospital for treatment, and after it was confirmed that there were no serious issues, he was brought back to Yuhe City police station to record his statement.

The whole process didn’t last long; Wu Li soon left the police station and returned to the hotel.

By now it was around 8 a.m. on the morning of July 16th. Wu Li took a shower, washing away the dirt and smell of blood, and then entered Zhang Shicai’s room; at this time, Xiaoyun was still asleep in bed.

Wu Li had run out of the hotel at 11 p.m. the previous night, and too much had happened over the course of one night. Now, looking at Xiaoyun sleeping on the bed, he almost felt as if he was in a different world.

"Big brother?"

Soon after, Xiaoyun also woke up, rubbing her eyes and looking at Wu Li with confusion, then, realizing, she asked, "Why am I here? Where is Grandpa? How is Grandpa?"

As she spoke, her voice began to carry a weeping tone.

Wu Li went over, lifted Xiaoyun into his arms, and gently patted her back, "It’s okay, Grandpa is fine too."

"Really?"

"Yes, Grandpa is awake now, and Brother will take you to see him in a little while."

Wu Li had just received the news that Zhang Shicai was awake.

"Will Grandpa be overwhelmed by anger again? What about our Martial Arts Hall?" Xiaoyuner asked helplessly, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Don’t worry," Wu Li said softly, "Everything has been taken care of. Once the Jiyun Hall is renovated, you can continue to run the hall without any more problems."

"Really?" Xiaoyuner’s eyes widened.

Wu Li nodded with a smile, "Really."

"Wuu!" Xiaoyuner burst into tears, "That’s great, thank you, Brother!"

...

The news of the renowned martial artist Hu Shan’s involvement with drugs soon spread across the internet in the Southern Country, with major media outlets reporting the incident. For certain reasons, the Yuhe City police did not mention Wu Li, simply stating they had acted on a tip-off, subsequently raiding the Shaquan Dojo, where a large amount of drugs was seized, resulting in Hu Shan’s death on the spot.

The Southern Country was shaken!

After all, Hu Shan was a celebrated martial arts expert, renowned as the first in real combat in Southeast Asia, and the scandal of his drug involvement was shocking enough to disappoint and anger many people in the Southern Country. If it became known that he had joined forces with others and ultimately died at the hands of a master from Hua Country, it would have been too embarrassing for the Southern Country, so, in the end, the official reports from the Southern Country did not mention Wu Li.

Wu Li did not care about this. He only cared about Zhang Shicai and Xiaoyuner, among others.

After the incident, everyone at Shaquan Dojo was thoroughly investigated, the closely associated Black Moon Gang was uprooted, and the developer who had dealt with the gang to take over Martial Arts Street was implicated and ended up in jail, halting the development project.

In reality, many others were involved in the incident, some were exposed, and some were not, but none of this mattered to Wu Li anymore. He only knew that Jiyun Hall could now re-open!

Even though Zhang Shicai had agreed to follow Wu Li to Hua Country with Xiaoyuner, this place was still his home after many years, and his father had also entrusted him to pass on the Jiyun Hall, so he decided to stay and continue running his hall on Martial Arts Street if possible.

After the incident, anyone who even thought of targeting Jiyun Hall or using unfair means against Zhang Shicai and Xiaoyuner would be apprehensive once they understood what had happened and realised Wu Li’s role.

So, in the end, Zhang Shicai decided to stay with Xiaoyuner in the Southern Country and continue running the hall on Martial Arts Street.

With Zhang Shicai’s and Xiaoyuner’s matters resolved, Wu Li could consider his trip to the Southern Country concluded. However, the immense impact he had caused there was just beginning.

The live stream on the night of July 16th broke the record for the highest number of online viewers on Weibo, with a peak of 3.36 million viewers watching Wu Li!

And the amount of money donated during that single live stream also broke records, totaling a terrifying 270 million!

After Weibo took its 30% cut and after taxes, Wu Li earned over one billion from that single live stream!

This was a miracle in the live streaming world! With that, Wu Li became the undisputed top streamer in Hua Country!

Not even the hottest merchandise-selling streamers, whose single live stream sales could reach several billion, could compare in terms of profit to Wu Li’s live stream.

After July 16th, Wu Li’s followers on Weibo had surpassed one hundred million, making him the first person on the platform to reach that milestone and the one with the most followers, prompting an official announcement from Weibo and 24-hour rolling news coverage on the site.

At the same time, Wu Li’s followers on Weibo also surpassed eighty million, exceeding most A-list celebrities and breaking the record for the fastest growth in followers.

For an entire week after July 16th, Wu Li-related topics dominated Weibo’s trending searches and Weibo’s hot lists, garnering envy from most of the entertainment industry’s stars, as this was a clear sign of rising stardom! Yet Wu Li wasn’t even from the entertainment circle; he was a college student, a Martial Arts Hall Master, a martial arts expert, a company CEO...

And that was just Wu Li’s influence in Hua Country. After Hu Shan’s fall, his old enemies, unwilling to let his post-mortem reputation go unsullied, began to spread another version of the story on some Southern Country websites and entertainment news, disclosing the true inside story of the incident and detailing Wu Li’s role.

The scandal of Hu Shan’s drug involvement was already a hot topic in the Southern Country, and now people were gifted with an even juicier story...

Someone had infiltrated Shaquan Dojo and secretly live-streamed everything?

Hu Shan tried to flee with his men, but a man from Hua Country stopped him?

Hu Shan and a Shaquan black belt, facing two against one, ended up losing to this man from Hua Country?

...

One revelation after another made headlines, and many in the Southern Country questioned their authenticity, yet conspiracy theories swayed many to believe this version of truth.

In no time, Wu Li’s name had spread throughout the Southern Country.

Not just there, but across the entire Southeast Asian Martial Arts Circle and Underground Boxing Ring, Wu Li’s name began to circulate.

Hu Shan had once dominated Southeast Asia’s Underground Boxing Ring, defeated many martial arts masters from the region, and made several renowned fighters admit defeat.

Now, with Hu Shan’s death at his hands, Wu Li had, in a sense, taken Hu Shan’s place, and some might even say his influence exceeded that of Hu Shan!
