Chapter 222: Chapter 200 My Record

Wu’s feet powered his movement, his body shifted instantly, evading Hu Shan’s attack, then his legs twisted and bent, as he sprang back into position.

And in that time, Hu Shan had also stepped back to regain the distance between them.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Wu continued to unleash his Horse Jumping Creek movement technique, leaping towards Hu Shan’s side, while Hu Shan, almost simultaneously, reacted with a swift move of his own.

One change in direction, two changes, three changes... The two were like skilled boxers in the ring, constantly probing each other with their footwork, advancing and retreating, darting left and right, unwilling to lightly make contact.

The only difference was that their evasive footwork and the method they used to power their movements were completely different from boxing, looking somewhat bizarre but incredibly fast and fluid nonetheless.

After the sixth change in direction, Wu’s movement faltered for a moment, and a glint of murderous intent flashed in Hu Shan’s eyes. A surge of killing intent erupted from him as he lunged forward, thrusting with his Yong Chun Standard Finger towards Wu’s right eye.

Swish! This time Wu was too late to dodge and could only trade blows, punching Hu Shan in the chest.

Puff!

The final result was Wu’s right eye being gouged by Hu Shan’s finger, while Wu’s punch on Hu Shan’s chest lacked solid power, causing only minor injury.

The continuous probing before ended with just one exchange, and victory was decided in an instant, much like ancient battlefield warriors mounted on their horses, clashing over and over until one decisive charge determined the outcome of life or death.

Many forms of combat in Traditional Martial Arts are actually simulations of mounted combat, constantly changing positions and probing the opponent with footwork, akin to adjusting the charge’s direction and speed of one’s horse, as well as one’s attacking stance, to ultimately determine the victor in the moment of contact.

With his eyeball punctured, Wu did not continue to engage but chose to "refresh" and start over with Hu Shan.

Swish!

Bang!

Time and again, Wu did not employ his own best techniques, but instead took on Hu Shan in a contest of movement technique and adaptation, fighting with his weaker abilities against Hu’s strengths.

After three days of intensive training, Wu had made great strides in controlling his own center of gravity, but he was still a hair’s breadth from the mercury-like center of gravity realm. This marginal gap might require time to slowly wear away, but Wu did not have that luxury—he needed to break Charles’s record the very next day, so he opted to break through by sparring with Hu Shan.

This was also where Wu’s confidence lay. The reason he dared to boast that he could break Charles’s record in just three days was because he had an S-level Virtual Battle Card, an opponent like Hu Shan—who had already achieved the Mercury-like Center of Gravity Realm—to spar with, and the opportunity to push for breakthroughs at the edge of life and death.

After an uncountable number of "refreshes," Wu’s Horse Jumping Creek step technique became almost divinely skilled, and through constant sparring with Hu Shan, he was gaining more and more insights into the Mercury-like Center of Gravity Realm.

Once more, Wu and Hu Shan tested each other with changing movements.

One change in direction, two changes, three changes... until the sixth, when Wu twisted his body forcefully back to the original position, then flashed out, finally seizing upon a lapse in Hu Shan’s defenses to land a Beng Fist, sending him reeling backward, allowing for an opportunity to follow up with a relentless offensive.

Bang! In the end, Wu finished Hu’s life with a Cannon Fist.

In the room, Wu opened his eyes, got out of bed, and started moving rapidly around the room.

His speed increased, his motions smoother, as he translated what he had learned in Virtual Reality into real-world practice.

Half an hour later, drenched in sweat, Wu stopped, a brilliant smile on his face.

With UFC’s advanced training methods, the fundamental skills developed over many generations in Traditional Martial Arts, and repeated life-and-death battles with a master of the Mercury-like Center of Gravity Realm, Wu had finally made his breakthrough!

...

On September 12th, everyone arrived early at the training area.

Today was the last day of Wu’s bet with Charles, and Wu was set to challenge Charles’s record for the fastest dodge training in front of everyone.

"Wow, this is so nerve-wracking, I wonder if Wu can break the record?"

"I think it’s going to be close."

"I believe Wu can create a miracle!"

...

There were already over two hundred thousand people watching in the live broadcast room, as Mo Yin had been promoting Wu’s bet with Charles for days, attracting many domestic netizens who stayed up late into the night to tune into the livestream.

Danny also explained the background and consequences of the bet to his camera, then turned to Wu, standing nearby.

"Wu, are you ready?"

Wu nodded, "I can start at any time."

"Alright," Danny said, his expression regretful, as he did not believe Wu could break Charles’s record in such short time. He thought today would likely be Wu’s last in the TUF.

"Hold on a second!"

Just as Danny was about to declare the challenge start, Charles, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke.

"Do you have any issues, Charles?" Danny asked.

Charles had an inscrutable smile on his face, "Before Wu takes the challenge, I want to try it once myself."

Danny was confused, "Huh?"

Charles looked at Wu, smirked coldly, and then said, "I said, before he takes the challenge, I want to try it once myself."
