Chapter 351: Chapter 321 Dragon Enters the Sea

Li Tongyun pinpointed the issues Wu Li encountered in the match with Floreson by analyzing the competition video bit by bit.

Being specialized has its perks, Wu Li had abundant practical experience, but he seemed a bit immature in ring competition, whereas Li Tongyun truly lived up to the title of a top coach, addressing problems from a very sharp perspective, often hitting the nail on the head, allowing Wu Li to understand immediately.

After analyzing a match that lasted just over twenty minutes, the discussion took more than two hours, and Wu Li benefited greatly. He realized his biggest issue was actually one of awareness. His rich practical experience sometimes led him to instinctively fight in the ring as he would in real combat, which caused problems.

To summarize: "Your stance was too proper, I just couldn’t control myself, and I kicked out before I realized it."

But as Li Tongyun said, in real combat, such a move could be fatal and end the fight instantly; however, in the ring, it might just be a feint from the opponent. You throw a punch, not hitting vital points, at best causing some pain, but giving the opponent a chance to execute their strategy.

These principles were clear to Wu Li, and he could think of them too, but sometimes habits are hard to break.

Regarding this, Li Tongyun suggested focusing on areas prone to problems and designing specific techniques for Wu Li to practice extensively before entering the ring, so he would think twice before acting instinctively about which technique to use.

Moreover, Li Tongyun performed an extensive analysis of Habu’s habitual movements and tactical thinking and specifically designed several targeted techniques for Wu Li, which, once effective, could likely KO the opponent directly!

After a few days of interacting, Wu Li realized Li Tongyun’s value. While he couldn’t guarantee victory, he could indeed increase the chances significantly.

In the following period, aside from training according to Li Tongyun’s plan, Wu Li also added to his regimen.

His additional training focused on two areas: Ground Fist and Bagua Palm.

Since the ground was a weakness, it was naturally essential to strengthen it to minimize the gap with his opponent.

As for Bagua Palm, Wu Li primarily intended to improve his movement technique.

Xingyi Tiger Form emphasized instantaneous bursts, Dragon Form Burst focused on continuous bursts, and although Horse Form emphasized changing directions, the space in the ring was too narrow, which was not conducive to its application. Therefore, Wu Li planned to enhance his Bagua Palm, with Bagua Wandering Body Step being very suitable for this type of small-range maneuvering.

Having already mastered Xingyi and Tai Chi to Master Level among the three major Internal Fist styles, it wasn’t too difficult for Wu Li to advance his Bagua Palm; it was just a matter of proficiency, which was readily resolved with the Experience Card.

For Bagua Palm, using five Master Level Experience Cards costing 1.5 million Fan Value, Wu Li advanced to Master Level.

As for Ground Fist, Wu Li directly used Fan Value to upgrade it, ultimately spending 2 million Fan Value to raise Ground Fist to Master Level.

Then there was the Fist Intent, after Wu Li’s Divine Value reached the Spirit Realm, he used Master-level Experience Cards and the system’s Fist Intent to finally fight on par with it, rather than just defending.

However, this could only last for a while; after all, Wu Li’s focus couldn’t always be at its peak, whereas the system didn’t have this issue.

While combating the system’s Fist Intent, Wu Li also continuously tried ’Borrowing Momentum’, specifically borrowing the system’s Fist Intent. This training method was effective in increasing the Divine Value, but each Master-level Experience Card only lasted ten minutes. Wu Li used two Master-level Experience Cards, allowing his Divine Value to increase from 105 to 107.

To use Master-level Experience Cards to push the Divine Value to 200, probably a hundred million Fan Value wouldn’t be enough, especially since Wu Li couldn’t guarantee that the Master-level Experience Card would still increase his Divine Value by one point in later stages.

After the battle with Feng Lin, because he had borrowed Sun Yiquan’s ’momentum’, Wu Li not only broke through his bottleneck but also directly increased to 105. So, Wu Li speculated that each successful borrowing of ’momentum’ might enhance his Divine Value.

Thus, he focused his Fist Intent practice on the Xue Sect Five Forms of Xingyi; however, after a month of practice, it only increased his Divine Value by one point, which was far less efficient than using Master-level Experience Cards.

"So, should I spend more or find a way to borrow stronger ’momentum’?" Wu Li pondered to himself.

Besides Divine Value, Wu Li methodically trained his Power Value and Body Value. After more than a month, Wu Li’s stats were as follows:

[Fan Value: 40,000

Properties: S-Level Virtual Battle Card X1 (32 minutes), S-Level Virtual Battle Card X1 (13 minutes)

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

Overall Score: S (57%)

Divine: 108 (Spirit)

Power: 91 (Innate)

Body: 92 (Thunder Sound)]

When Wu Li had finally attained Master Level in Bagua Palm, his Power value soared from 85 to 90. Mastering all three great Internal Fists certainly had its benefits.

Over a month, he had exhausted the time on a previous A-level Virtual Battle Card and made further progress in Bone Marrow, increasing his Body value from 91 to 92.

In that same month, with two additional Master Level skills and increases in all three values of his Divine Power Body, he had indeed made significant progress, although his over eight million Fan Value was nearly depleted.

Wu Li then spent three million Fan Value to exchange for another S-Level Virtual Battle Card, with Habu as the simulated opponent.

Although the system’s simulated opponents had various flaws, they were still very useful for familiarizing himself with the adversary and practicing tactics, so Wu Li exchanged for another card and nearly exhausted its time.

As for simulating Fujiwara Naoto, Wu Li had not encountered him in person, so simulation was impossible, and even if he had wanted to simulate, he lacked enough Fan Value.

Fortunately, Hu Shan was also adept with the sword, and Wu Li could only accumulate experience fighting against Hu Shan with swords on another S-level Virtual Battle Card.

In any case, Wu Li had made ample preparation for the upcoming competition.

...

On April 22nd, UFC held the UFC257 weigh-in ceremony in Hawaii, with the competition slated on one of the Hawaiian Islands.

Due to having to fight two bouts the next afternoon without sufficient time for recovery, this time Wu Li did not use dehydration for weight reduction; instead, he directly reduced fat and muscle mass to keep his weight below the standard limit.

This was also a reason for the high betting odds against Wu Li in this gamble: he had to fight three times consecutively while controlling his weight, with insufficient time to restore his weight and strength, which greatly increased the difficulty of winning.

On April 23rd, at 3 PM, Wu Li boarded a luxury cruise ship with the people from Hongmen.

The yacht would sail into international waters to host the two bouts, then proceed toward the Hawaii Islands.

At 3:30 PM, the cruise ship set off on time.

Wu Li, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, stood at the bow, gazing at the vast ocean ahead.

The sea breeze rustled his martial arts uniform, and as he stood with his hands behind his back, he naturally exuded an imposing aura.

Dragon entering the sea!
