Chapter 50 - 48 Supplementary Agreement

Chapter 50: Chapter 48 Supplementary Agreement

Wu Li stared at his Fan Value, realizing that upgrading Xingyi Fist to Master Level required 2 million Fan Value; currently, he had only 490,000. Even after the competition ended, he might not have saved enough, but the allure of Master Level skills was immense. If he spent his Fan Value now, he would have to save for a considerably longer period before he could hope to level up.

Ever since he had used a Master Level Experience Card once, Wu Li seemed to understand what the true significance of his system was: Martial Arts Realm!

Wu Li had always thought that what Traditional Martial Arts had lost through the ages were mere killing moves and secret techniques, but after using the Master Level Experience Card, he suddenly realized that what truly mattered in the inheritance of Traditional Martial Arts was the lost of realms.

Take for example Xingyi Fist’s Wave Flipping Power—how many people today truly mastered it? Xingyi Master Guo Yunshen said that Xingyi Fist possessed Ming Jin, Dark Force, and Hua Jin; nowadays, it seems these three levels of skill are only found in novels.

A hundred years ago, Traditional Martial Arts had so many Masters and Grandmasters, and the various types of Martial Arts were as vast as the sea. And the Masters of today, who are they? Since after the founding of the nation, Traditional Martial Arts changed to focus mainly on routines. Wu Li felt that what had been lost was not just techniques, but also the pathways to attain higher realms!

Perhaps nowadays, there are no true Masters or Grandmasters left, so when Traditional Martial Arts shifted from real combat to routines, returning to the competitive stage from routines has become incredibly difficult because so much has been lost.

Wu Li remembered once saying during a live broadcast: "If not me, then who?"

Now it seems, what he should do is not just to clear the name of Traditional Martial Arts with his personal record but also to reconnect the broken path of Traditional Martial Arts and even take it to new heights!

"Alas, I’m too poor. When can I ever gain a million Fan Value in a single broadcast?" Wu Li sighed.

In the end, he decided to spend his Fan Value now to secure a better chance in the upcoming competition.

First, he spent 1000 Fan Value each to raise three Martial Arts to Entry Level, then he expended a total of 90,000 Fan Value to bring the same three Martial Arts to Skilled Level. Finally, he spent another 350,000 Fan Value to raise Earth Skill Fist to Master Level.

He chose Earth Skill Fist over Ground Fist because Earth Skill Fist had more ground techniques and was better suited for competition, as many of the killing moves of Ground Fist could not be used in the ring.

Now, Wu Li’s personal information was as follows:

[Name: Wu Li

Fan Value: 47,000

Money: 14.97 million

Skills: Xingyi Fist (Master Level), Earth Skill Fist (Master Level), Piercing Kick (Skilled Level), Yong Chun (Skilled Level), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Skilled Level), Ground Lying Fist (Skilled Level)

Passive: Iron Body, Iron Man

Items: Master Level Experience Card X3]

After upgrading Earth Skill Fist and two other Martial Arts Levels, Wu Li could distinctly feel that the flexibility of his body had improved further, along with the strength in his lower limbs, agility, and explosive power of his legs.

By upgrading Martial Arts Levels, not only could he achieve a higher level of skill but also obtain enhancements to his physical fitness. However, if he wished for a significant improvement, it seems he would need to raise a Martial Arts to Master Level, which was evident from the effects of Rare Skills.

But to raise a Martial Arts to Master Level required too many Fan Value. It would be less cost-effective to spend tens of millions of Fan Value to raise ten Martial Arts to Master Level than to focus the Fan Value on upgrading one Martial Arts to Grandmaster. Therefore, Wu Li decided that in the future, he would mainly improve Xingyi Fist, and for increasing his physical fitness, he could rely on personal training or exchange Rare Skills.

Wu Li stood up and paced around the room, practicing the newly learned Martial Arts over and over.

...

The next morning, Wu Li went to Bo Yuan Company and headed directly to Liu Yuanbo’s office.

Upon entering, Wu Li saw Li Jun sitting on the sofa.

"Master." Liu Yuanbo stood up to greet Wu Li as he entered.

Wu Li nodded, sat down on the sofa next to Li Jun, and asked, "What did you want to see me for?"

Liu Yuanbo hesitated to speak, but Li Jun smiled and handed a document that was on the coffee table to Wu Li, "Take a look. If there’s no problem, just sign it."

Wu Li took the document, "An addendum?"

"Considering that Party B represents Party A’s Bo Yuan Boxing Gym in the competition and has publicized it through networks and television stations among other channels, if Party B performs poorly in the competition and causes economic losses to Party A’s image, the following addendum agreement is hereby made..."

Wu Li briefly looked over it, then turned to Li Jun, "You’re saying that if I represent Bo Yuan Boxing Gym and perform poorly, I’ll have to give up the shares I hold, right?"

Li Jun nodded, "That’s right. It’s clearly written in the agreement."

"But Uncle Li, several other coaches from our gym have also signed up for the competition. Why only target Master like this?" Liu Yuanbo asked discontentedly.

Li Jun looked at Liu Yuanbo, "He’s different because he has shares in the boxing gym. That means he’s no longer just an employee; he’s one of the owners. He’s received benefits from the gym, so naturally, he should bear the corresponding responsibilities. Moreover, he’s now the face of our gym in our external promotions. Everyone feels he represents Bo Yuan Boxing Gym. If he performs poorly, shouldn’t he be accountable?"

"But..." Liu Yuanbo was still reluctant.

"Yuanbo, your father agrees with this too," said Li Jun.

"My dad?" Liu Yuanbo was surprised, "How does my dad know about this?"

Li Jun glanced meaningfully at Wu Li, "Your father is also very concerned about your business. Naturally, I should promptly report your situation. In any case, your father thinks he should sign this agreement."

Hearing Li Jun say this, Liu Yuanbo could only look helplessly at Wu Li.

Wu Li raised the agreement in his hand, "What if I don’t sign it? The original contract we signed didn’t have this clause. If I don’t sign, can you still forcibly take away my shares?"

Li Jun smiled, "Of course, you can choose not to sign. However, you should consider that despite Bo Yuan Boxing Gym being your property, it was established with your father’s support. If he thinks you’re just cheating his son out of his shares, what do you think the consequences would be?"

Wu Li nodded, "Ultimately, as long as I perform well in the competition, there’s no talk of deception. On the contrary, it means I’ve helped Bo Yuan Boxing Gym to break new ground and increase income, right?"

Li Jun’s smile was playful, "Since that’s the case, why won’t you sign? As long as you perform well, the agreement becomes void. What are you worried about? Or is it that you lack confidence in yourself?"

Liu Yuanbo also looked at Wu Li. He had great confidence in Wu Li, and now hearing what Li Jun said, it seemed like signing wouldn’t be an issue. Not signing, on the other hand, appeared to be an admission of doubt.

Wu Li pointed to the agreement in his hand, "I don’t sign not because I lack confidence, but because there’s no benefit to signing."

Li Jun was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Wu Li, "This agreement only spells out the downside if I perform poorly, but what if I perform well? What’s the benefit?"

Li Jun, "What benefit do you want?"

Wu Li smiled, fixing his gaze on Li Jun, and spit out two words, "Shares."

"If performing poorly means losing shares, then performing well should mean a reward of shares. It’s fair that way, right, Yuanbo?" Wu Li looked at Liu Yuanbo.

Liu Yuanbo thought the suggestion made sense and nodded, "That’s right, Master."

Wu Li looked at Li Jun, "When I had a casual chat with Yuanbo, he mentioned that you have a 15% stake in this gym. If I perform well, I don’t want anything else, just 5% out of your shares, is that okay?"

Li Jun’s expression turned ugly as he stared intently at Wu Li, his laughter tinged with resentment, "Alright, alright, alright. The audacity of youth, now you’re even coveting my shares?!"

Wu Li spread his hands, "How can you say I’m coveting? I’m earning it through skill."

Li Jun, "And if I don’t agree?"

Wu Li shook his head, "No, you will agree."

Li Jun, "Why?"

Wu Li also looked at him with a meaningful expression, "Because if I lose, my 5% goes to you."

Li Jun looked deeply at Wu Li for a few seconds, then finally laughed, "Young man, it seems I’ve underestimated you. Fine, I agree."

Liu Yuanbo didn’t understand the exchange of glances between the two, his concern was only one thing, "Master, what counts as performing well?"

In the supplemental agreement written by Li Jun, if Wu Li couldn’t make it into the top four, it would be considered a poor performance, and he would have to surrender his shares. As for what Wu Li proposed as performing well, it wasn’t specified in the agreement.

Wu Li looked at Li Jun as if it was obvious, "What counts as performing well? Do you need to ask?"

Liu Yuanbo, "What is it?"

Wu Li, "The championship!"

Li Jun tapped the coffee table, "That’s settled then!"

(Please vote for this Chapter; I bet everyone can guess why Li Jun is targeting Wu Li.)
