Chapter 446: Chapter 411 Reverse Sumeru

Although Li San had not experienced it himself, from the momentum of Wu’s punch and Jon’s reaction after being hit, he vaguely discerned something, feeling that Wu must have cultivated Innate Gang Qi!

"No wonder he dares to choose like this," Li Tongyun’s expression relaxed significantly.

Wu proposed choosing the heavyweight and light heavyweight for the third round. Although Li Tongyun knew he must have some confidence to make such a choice, she had always felt uncertain until now when she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the field, Jon, whose entire right arm was trembling from Wu’s punch, began to retreat, actively creating distance from Wu.

Wu’s punch, fueled by the Heavenly Punishment’s momentum, was too overwhelming. Even though Jon was considered the number one in the UFC, he subconsciously chose to temporarily yield.

Seeing Jon begin to retreat, Wu charged forward, and at the same time, his hands swiftly formed seals in front of his lower abdomen, touching and separating almost instantaneously, completing the circulation of Qi and blood in less than a second.

Sumeru Seal! This was the name Wu gave to his explosive ultimate move.

This technique drew from the principle of circulating Qi and blood using the Yoga big handprint, where stimulating the area around the lower abdomen was called "Sumeru" in the handprint exercise.

Sumeru, a term from Brahmanism, refers to a treasure mountain, Mount Wonderful, or Mount Meru. It is the center of the world in ancient Indian mythology, said to be the residence of the gods.

Stimulating this area suggests the idea of witnessing Sumeru and borrowing the power of the gods.

With the use of the Sumeru Seal, Wu’s Qi and blood surged, and the power in his right arm increased dramatically!

Seven days ago, when he used this technique, his Qi and blood circulated through both arms, enhancing the power in both; but now, Wu’s control was even more refined, focusing the Qi and blood to strengthen just one arm, resulting in an even greater increase in power.

Wu’s punch roared out, the Cannon Fist Power driven by the Sumeru Seal, supplemented with Innate Gang Qi.

Using two killing moves right at the start of the match, Wu intended to quickly overwhelm Jon!

Jon was slower in retreating than Wu was in charging, and his right arm had not fully recovered. Relying on just his left arm to block would probably not be enough, so he quickly made a decision: he stopped retreating instantly, charged forward half a step, twisted his waist and pivoted his hips, proactively hitting Wu’s right punch with his left shoulder.

Bang!

Jon stepped back twice, while Wu also retreated a step.

At this moment, Jon’s "Demon King" strength became evident. Even with just a half-step charge, his explosive power was extremely strong, only slightly weaker than the power Wu gained from using the Sumeru Seal. If Jon had sufficient distance to sprint, his unleashed power would be even greater!

Furthermore, after receiving two hits from Wu’s Innate Gang Qi, someone with slightly inferior physical qualities would already be moving sluggishly, or even be unable to move, yet Jon was able to continue retreating without any pause.

One of the reasons Jon was known as the "Demon King," besides his explosive power, was that he seemed to never be knocked down. No matter how his opponents attacked him, even repeatedly striking his chin, he could still stand in the ring, almost as if he had an Iron Body!

The first Rare Skill Wu possessed was "Iron Body." Later, he improved his Golden Bell Shield to Master Level and continuously enhanced his tendons, bones, and internal organs through Bone Marrow fortification. His Resistance To Hits rating in the System Detection was 262, stronger than many heavyweight fighters; Jon’s rating was an astounding 288!

This was Jon’s innate talent. His muscles’ natural density and his bones’ strength were exceptional, and with further training, he achieved his "steel muscles and iron bones."

Unable to overwhelm Jon with two killing moves, Wu didn’t hesitate to continue his assault, gripping the ground with his toes, using Qilin Step combined with Tiger Pounce to chase after him.

Jon initially retreated toward the right rear, but when Wu quickly pounced, Jon shifted his feet, his body turning as if pulled by an invisible line at his back, instantly shifting his center of gravity, leaping toward the left rear in one swift move.

Mercury-like Center of Gravity!

Wu seemed unsurprised by Jon’s display of a mercury-like center of gravity. His tailbone swung, his waist twisted like a great Dragon Tail, changing direction instantly. Exploiting his spine’s power, his body shot out even faster, accelerating by a fraction.

Dragon Form Bursting Strike, the third hit of Innate Gang Qi!

Faced with Wu’s propelling charge, Jon’s right leg chopped out fiercely like a battle-ax, kicking at the air in front of him. He aimed to seal off Wu’s attacking direction in advance, hoping to push Wu back and catch a breath for himself.

Boom!

The air exploded with sound. Jon once kicked a 300-pound punching bag to shreds, showcasing the immense explosive power of his legs.

Faced with Jon’s incoming kick, Wu didn’t change direction but turned his Bursting Strike into a cannon hammer blow, smashing his fist down to clash with Jon’s right leg.

Bang!

Jon’s right leg trembled, and he continued to step back.

No one expected the UFC’s incredibly strong "Demon King" Jon to be pushed back continuously from the start by his opponent!

"Ah, that’s how you hit! That’s how you fight!"

"Wu is awesome—"

The guy next to Chen Dong and Wang Xuecheng was completely hyped, screaming himself hoarse, and Chen Dong was a bit concerned the guy might become oxygen deprived...

It wasn’t just one person; in fact, the entire Hua Country audience and those watching the live broadcast online were also ecstatic. Everyone had thought Wu might gain the upper hand against Jon, but no one anticipated such a scenario.

Displayed on the big screen before the match, Wu’s weight was 80kg, while Jon weighed 120kg, a difference of a full 80 jin! This was even more shocking than when Li San fought heavier opponents with his lighter weight because the person Wu was pushing back was Jon.

On the field, Wu didn’t strike immediately but paused and caught his breath on the spot.

Although he could already unleash Innate Gang Qi, in fact, he had not completely broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Fan Value: 120,000

Items: S-grade Virtual Battle Card X1 (18 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+ (23%)

Divine: 143 (Spirit)

Power: 102 (Dragon and Tiger)

Body: 99 (Thunder Sound)

Ultimate Moves: Heavenly Punishment (100%), Sumeru Seal (48%)

This was Wu Li’s current data. In the past seven days, he had almost spent a whopping sixty million Fan Value, using up a total of twenty S-grade Virtual Battle Cards, all to duel with "Bai Tao," to feel the opponent’s Innate Gang Qi, and to repeatedly use Heavenly Punishment, pondering over the application of Dragon and Tiger Power and finally breaking through from the Innate Realm to the Dragon and Tiger Realm. He could now use Dragon and Tiger Power at will.

So far, both Wu Li’s Divine value and Power value had surpassed 100, but his Body value was stuck at the critical point of 99, because the enhancement of physical fitness ultimately required a process, even if Wu Li had already perfected his Bone Marrow in Virtual Reality. However, that was only virtual; it still required Wu Li to train it up bit by bit in reality.

After all, Martial Arts wasn’t some kind of fantasy, and even with an epiphany, it required time to slowly enhance oneself. There was no such thing as being downed by a punch, suddenly bursting with power, breaking through a realm, and ultimately counter-killing an enemy.

However, Wu Li now had one foot in the Grandmaster Realm, and with about three more months to refine his body and achieve Great Success in Bone Marrow, pushing his Body value into the Gang Body Realm, he would become a true Grandmaster!

But sadly, he was not there yet. Since his Body value hadn’t caught up, using Innate Gang Qi in conjunction with two ultimate moves three times consecutively had overtaxed Wu Li’s body, necessitating a brief recovery.

Wu Li was recovering, and so was Jon, who continuously contracted and then released his local muscles to relieve the effects of the Innate Gang Qi.

Two seconds later, Wu Li made the first move.

He took a large step forward, then his feet drilled fiercely toward the ground like spiral drills, making use of the rebounding force, his waist twisted and his spine channeled segment by segment.

Big Stone Breaking Hand!

Just as the power was about to transfer to his arms, Wu Li’s hands quickly formed seals in front of his lower abdomen.

Sumeru Seal!

Wu Li found that the best technique to enhance with the Sumeru Seal was actually the Big Stone Breaking Hand. He now combined the two.

As his blood surged, Wu Li flung his right arm out, pushing a palm towards the front-facing Jon, with all the tendons in his body vibrating and emitting a low thunder sound.

Innate Gang Qi!

The Big Stone Breaking Hand of Bagua Palm, which was utterly masculine and firm added to the Sumeru Seal which enhanced arm strength, topped with the invincible Innate Gang Qi, they formed—Reverse Sumeru.

Sumeru is the mountain of gods, the center of the small thousand worlds, and this palm was to push down the endless power of Sumeru Mountain. Hence the name Reverse Sumeru!

If Heavenly Punishment was Wu Li’s most vigorous, most imposing, and fastest explosive technique, then Reverse Sumeru was his strongest move, his peak power so far!

However, this move required a certain charging time and wasn’t as fast as Heavenly Punishment, so Wu Li started with using Heavenly Punishment to assault, and now, taking advantage of Jon’s right leg being hampered by Innate Gang Qi and his mobility impaired, he used Reverse Sumeru without worrying about Jon dodging.

Jon looked at Wu Li’s approaching palm and his expression turned solemn.

Heavenly Punishment had made him feel like thunder and divine might, inspiring fear in the heart; while Wu Li’s current palm felt like a splendid mountain of extreme grandeur was being pushed down, coming to cover him!

Unstoppable!

Jon immediately had this thought. Wu Li’s palm felt to him like it could not be blocked by human force.

Was he going to lose?

In the next instant, this idea automatically surfaced in Jon’s mind. Then, he was seized with intense anger, and his eyes turned blood red in a flash!

Roar!!!

Jon roared furiously, his demeanor suddenly changing. One second ago, he was a man, and the next second he seemed to become a dangerous wild beast, devoid of any trace of humanity. All that was left was raw, cold killing intent and madness.

Jon raised his right arm, stomped the ground, twisted his waist, turned his hips, lifted his shoulders, raised his elbows, and finally punched. The power surged from the ground up, gathering and building until it all converged in his right fist, which he then threw with all his might.

Boom!

Unlike the previous punches that resounded through the air, this punch sounded somewhat muffled, like a depth charge exploding underwater.

Bang!

Fist met palm and both Wu Li and Jon’s bodies shook, then they both retreated simultaneously.
