Chapter 335 - 305: Changes in Divine Value, The Reason for the Knot in the Heart

Chapter 335: Chapter 305: Changes in Divine Value, The Reason for the Knot in the Heart

Li Tongyun was dressed in casual black and white attire that day, her hair swept up in an elegant bun.

"What would you like to drink?" Wu asked.

Li Tongyun replied, "Plain water is fine."

Wu had the waiter bring over a cup of plain water, then sat and watched her quietly.

Li Tongyun smiled, "The reason I asked you to meet today is actually quite straightforward, I think we can sign a contract now."

Wu nodded. After finishing his match yesterday, he had received a call from Li Tongyun arranging to meet today, and he had guessed she was likely thinking along the same lines.

"Do you think it will be very difficult for me to win my next match?" Wu asked.

Li Tongyun nodded, "Yes, quite difficult."

Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is the opponent very strong?"

Li Tongyun shook her head, "It’s not a question of strength; the problem is with your own state."

Wu’s expression froze for a moment, and he frowned slightly, "My state has a problem?"

Li Tongyun observed Wu’s expression closely and realized he truly hadn’t noticed.

"I’ve watched your matches before, through videos."

Wu nodded, "Hmm."

Li Tongyun continued, "You’ve already grasped the intent behind your fistwork; even through video, I could feel that momentum, but last night, the aura you exuded was weaker than I expected."

Wu frowned, "Are you sure?"

Momentum is such a thing; without someone else pointing it out, it’s really difficult to detect changes in oneself.

Li Tongyun smiled, then her gaze suddenly hardened, and she glared fiercely at Wu.

Wu felt a chill down his spine and almost instinctively leaned back, his muscles tensing.

In that instant, he felt a strong hostility coming from Li Tongyun, as well as a certain momentum.

The next second, Li Tongyun’s expression returned to calm, she reigned in her aura and looked at Wu lightly, "Do you believe me now?"

Wu frowned, the burst of momentum from her had been clear, and he could tell that she too was a martial artist who had developed the intent of her fists.

So Li Tongyun’s point was: I too have developed the intent of the fist, so my judgment is not wrong.

Wu leaned forward, looking at Li Tongyun with a stern expression, "So my fist intent has a problem? Why didn’t I notice?"

Li Tongyun nodded, "The intent of the fist is more often controlled by our subconscious, and changes to your subconscious might not be quickly detected by conscious awareness. It isn’t until the conscious mind gradually starts to change that you’ll distinctly feel the difference from before."

Wu was shocked and immediately used system detection on himself:

[Fan Value: 8.34 million

Items: A-grade Virtual Battle Card X1 (67 minutes), S-grade Virtual Battle Card X1 (107 minutes)

Skills: Xingyi Fist (Master Level), Golden Bell Shield (Master Level), Eagle Claw Fist (Master Level), Tai Chi Fist (Master Level)

Overall Score: S(20%)

God: 96 (Kongming)

Power: 85 (Innate)

Body: 91 (Thunder Sound)

Last night’s match reached a peak viewership of over 6 million people, with more than 4 million from Hua Country and over 2 million from the United States. Before the match, Wu Li had spent several million Fan Value to exchange for several A-level Virtual Battle Cards and S-level Virtual Battle Cards. After deducting expenses, he still had 8.34 million Fan Value in hand.

It must be said that, before the match, Wu Li used a separate S-level Virtual Battle Card to simulate Floreson and fought against him many times, exhausting the entire two-hour limit before he stopped exchanging because he won all the battles against Floreson in the Virtual Reality!

In the Virtual Reality, Wu Li directly simulated the environment of the Octagonal Cage and also fought according to UFC rules against Floreson, but although he had a complete winning record in the Virtual Reality, the match last night was not easy.

The reason is actually quite simple: the system only simply simulated an opponent for Wu Li based on the paper data of Floreson, but it couldn’t simulate Floreson’s will, on-the-spot thinking, and tactical changes.

What preparations Floreson made specifically for Wu Li were beyond the system’s simulation capabilities; the system could only display Floreson’s most commonly used techniques and habits.

After taking hits, Floreson’s ability to grit his teeth and persevere through willpower was something the system couldn’t simulate; the system only calculated the reduction based on Floreson’s Resistance To Hits value and the force of the hits he received, completely ignoring the boost from willpower.

If Floreson performed above his level on the spot, the system couldn’t simulate that either; the system would keep Floreson’s strength consistent at an average level, without any fluctuations...

However, Wu Li discovered that after he exchanged hands with Floreson, when he exchanged for another S-level Virtual Battle Card last night and chose to simulate Floreson again, the Floreson in the Virtual Reality felt even closer to the state he faced last night.

Therefore, only now had Wu Li thoroughly understood the function of the Virtual Battle Cards: as long as one had personally encountered the opponent, they could simulate one of the corresponding level, but it was based only on the data on paper; the deeper one’s understanding of the opponent being simulated, the more accurate and closer the system’s simulation would be to reality.

Returning to the present, when Wu Li saw his Divine, Power, and Body values, his eyes widened.

His Power value had risen from 84 to 85 through the accelerated Bone Marrow progress provided by the A-level Virtual Battle Card, but his Divine Value had unexpectedly dropped from 99 to 96!

Since the Divine, Power, and Body values were hard to change, and Wu Li hadn’t felt any obvious improvement, he typically did not pay much attention to them, especially in the two to three days before the match when he was busy cutting weight, so he didn’t check his values. Now, he found that his Divine Value had actually decreased?

When did this happen?

Wu Li remembered that the last time he checked himself with the System Detection was three days ago, and at that time, his Divine Value was still 99, but now it had changed to 96?

Wu Li frowned, struggling to accept this fact.

"Did anything happen to you recently?" Li Tongyun asked quietly, noticing the change in Wu Li’s expression.

What has happened to me recently?

Wu Li also tried to recall, retracing his steps: spending New Year with his parents, attending the annual meeting, learning the Fist technique Xu Ming gave him, exchanging hands with Feng Lin...

Exchanging hands with Feng Lin!

Wu Li’s expression shifted. If there was anything recently that could have affected his spirit, then it could only be related to Feng Lin.

Li Tongyun noticed Wu Li’s expression, "It seems you’ve thought of something?"

Wu Li nodded, "I had an exchange with a master of the gun."

Li Tongyun was somewhat surprised, "A gun? You mean firearms?"

Wu Li replied, "Yes."

"I did think about it at the time, whether I should also train with guns. But afterward, I had to prepare for the match, so I didn’t pursue the thought further, never expecting that it would have an effect," Wu Li said with a wry smile.

Li Tongyun’s gaze was as hazy as smoke and clouds, as if recalling some past memory.

"For martial artists like us, once we’ve witnessed the power of firearms, it’s hard not to be tempted."

PS: Friends, no, I want to recommend a book: "I Just Want to Be Self-Sufficient." It’s an urban rebirth novel written by an LV5 author with great success. If you are interested, you can take a look.
