Chapter 456: Chapter 420: System Permissions Full Upgrade

Consciousness slowly revived from darkness, and Wu Li gradually opened his eyes.

White sheets, a tidy room, a faint smell of disinfectant.

The sensation in his body gradually became clear, as if a hundred elephants had trampled over him, with not a single spot on his body free from pain.

Such pain might have made an ordinary person scream in agony, but Wu Li merely furrowed his brows slightly, then began to "introspect."

"Introspection" here, of course, is not the kind from fantasy novels where you can actually see inside your own body, but after approaching great success in Bone Marrow, a martial artist’s understanding of their body’s internal condition becomes more and more profound, with every deployment of power involving the five viscera and six bowels. Through the feedback from deploying power, a subconscious connection is built up, and as this connection becomes clearer, at some point, it feels as if one could see the condition inside the body.

At this moment, Wu Li slightly changed his breathing rate, vibrated his spine to exert force, impacting the five viscera and six bowels, and through the feedback, "looked at" his injuries. The situation was not optimistic; there were many injuries throughout his body, and if he forced himself to exert more power, he feared it could cause severe internal bleeding.

"You’re awake," suddenly a delighted voice came from beside him.

Wu Li turned his head to look; it was a Chinese-looking woman with delicate features, dressed in a nurse’s uniform.

"Please wait a moment, I’ll notify the others."

Having said that, the nurse quickly stood up and ran out of the room.

Seizing this moment of quiet, Wu Li brought up the system interface again to check the system information:

[All Master’s Name tasks completed and with one Grandmaster level recognition, the task was overachieved]

[Rewards have been issued]

[Task rewards are as follows:

1. Earned the right to initiate Grandmaster level tasks

2. Earned the right to exchange for Grandmaster level ultimate moves

3. System Detection upgraded, gained the ability to detect Grandmaster level experts

4. Acquired five Master Stars]

[Note: Due to the overachievement of tasks, an additional two Master Stars have been awarded]

A series of information left Wu Li feeling exhilarated; there were four rewards in total, all seeming quite splendid, justifying the tasks he had undertaken for so long.

After the reward information, there was a long string of information, which Wu Li checked item by item:

[Grandmaster Level Tasks: High difficulty tasks with great risks. It is advised that the host reaches Grandmaster realm before undertaking such tasks]

[Note: Completion of Grandmaster level tasks may result in earning Master Stars]

[Note: Detection of Grandmaster level task eligibility has been opened, and the following rewards are now issued:

1. First-time highest live viewership exceeds ten million, reward: one-time access to Grandmaster level task

2. First-time highest live viewership exceeds thirty million, reward: one-time access to Grandmaster level task

3. First-time highest live viewership exceeds fifty million, reward: one-time access to Grandmaster level task

4. Temporary ultimate move task completed, reward: one-time access to Grandmaster level task

Currently, you can initiate 4 Grandmaster level tasks in total]

"So that’s how it is," Wu Li muttered to himself.

When he first started live streaming, every time the highest online viewership broke a certain number, he received a corresponding reward. For example, the first time it exceeded one hundred thousand, he got three Master Level Experience Cards, and similar awards for the first time exceeding three hundred thousand.

However, after surpassing one million viewers, Wu Li had never received any more rewards. Wu Li once felt regret over this, but now it seems the rewards were still there; it’s just that at the time, Wu Li had not had the authority to initiate Grandmaster level tasks, so these rewards were not issued. Now, they had been sent all at once.

In the Combat World Cup finals, just the viewership from Hua Country Alone exceeded forty million, and along with the United States and other countries, the highest live viewership that night reached 57.82 million, granting Wu Li the reward for breaking fifty million for the first time.

As for the temporary ultimate move task, this was the reward he was entitled to after pushing the completion of Heavenly Punishment to 100%.

At present, the most significant benefit of initiating Grandmaster level tasks appears to be the chance to earn Master Stars. As for the purpose of Master Stars, Wu Li continued reading:

[Grandmaster Level Ultimate Move Exchange Rights Opened, exchange list as follows:

...

Currently owned Master Stars: seven]

There are five major categories of Grandmaster Level ultimate moves: qi and blood surge category, offensive category, defensive category, movement technique category, and body refinement category. All these techniques are innovated by grandmasters throughout history.

After stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, control over one’s self becomes more intricate, leading to the practice of martial arts becoming increasingly ’personalized’.

The same move, the same way of exerting force, I might perform it with greater power while you might produce less, simply because everyone’s body is different—height, arm length, muscle distribution, the internal structure of bones, tendons, fascia, internal organs, etc. These differences lead to varying results when executing the same moves and methods of force application.

Therefore, to truly develop one’s own signature techniques, ’personal customization’ is required, creating the moves most suited to your body and force exertion habits.

For example, Wu’s self-created Heavenly Punishment, Yan Return, Sumeru Seal, etc., fall under ’personal customization’, the techniques best suited for him.

And the strength of these Grandmaster Level ultimate moves available for exchange from the system lies in the ability to transform someone else’s ’personal customization’ into Wu’s ’personal customization’!

For instance, if Wu exchanges the move ’Dragon and Snake Wave’, in theory, this move would be most suitable for the person who created it, but not necessarily for Wu. However, the system can adapt this technique to Wu’s actual condition, altering it into the version best suited for him.

What does this concept mean?

Even if Wu breaks through the God, Power, and Body values all past 100, entering the Grandmaster Realm, in the system’s judgment, only his Xingyi Fist is at the Grandmaster level, while other martial arts like Tai Chi Fist, Bagua Palm, etc., still remain at Master Level because his understanding and application of other martial arts are not profound enough— in other words, he can’t ’personalize’ them to create his own ultimate moves.

No matter how talented a person is, energy and time are limited. Don’t be misled by Wu’s recent string of self-created techniques; this is due to his long accumulation and the fact that he is at a moment before a breakthrough, with over a decade’s worth of preparation exploding in a short time. Once he has utilized this wave of benefits, it will still take a vast amount of time to create new techniques.

And this still applies to his strongest Xingyi Fist. If he wants to create ultimate moves with other martial arts, the difficulty is even higher.

This isn’t just a challenge for Wu, but a common issue for all grandmasters throughout history.

But now, with the system opening up the exchange of Grandmaster Level ultimate moves, it means that as long as there are enough Master Stars, Wu could practice all martial arts to the Grandmaster level!

Bursts, offense, defense, movement, and body building—Wu could possess all five categories of ultimate moves, becoming a super Grandmaster with no weaknesses!

"As expected of System Dad."

Wu reflected inwardly, then continued reading:

[System Detection authority upgraded, can now detect the God, Power, and Body Three Values of a target, and if the target is a grandmaster, it can also roughly detect the type of ultimate moves specialized by the target.]

This authority upgrade excited Wu as well, because as the opponents he faced grew stronger, the limitations of System Detection became more apparent: it could only give a comprehensive assessment under the rules of the arena, not a real combat assessment, and when facing Grandmaster level opponents, it wouldn’t provide any arena assessment.

Now, Wu could directly see the God, Power, and Body values of his opponents, as well as the types of ultimate moves a Grandmaster level opponent specialized in, allowing him to be well-informed before a confrontation.

Moreover, this ability is equally powerful when used on allies; for example, Li San currently wants to break through to the Grandmaster level, but he can’t clearly know his own God, Power, and Body values like Wu, nor can he practice with focus; now Wu can directly see Li San’s values and could guide him in the right direction.

"Looks like I won’t only be the strongest man in the world, but also the strongest coach," Wu mused to himself with delight.

After going through all the information, Wu couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart: Too powerful!

Truly worthy of the reward after completing a series of ten consecutive tasks!

"Wu."

A somewhat aged voice came through.

Wu turned to the door, where the nurse from before was leading in three people, one of whom was Zheng Yingrong, and the other two, robust in build and sharp in gaze, were likely to be capable fighters from Hongmen.

"Sixth Brother," Wu greeted.

"How are you feeling?" Zheng Yingrong asked with concern as he sat by Wu’s bed.

"Not bad," Wu replied, "Thank you for the trouble, Sixth Brother."

"Hey, what trouble?" Zheng Yingrong waved it off.

"Moreover, this time, it might be because of us that you got injured," he added.

Wu was somewhat surprised: "Oh?"
