Chapter 55: Chapter 53: Big Brother, You’re So Fast

On the first day of the competition, everyone’s attention was on the lightweight category, where Wu Li took just one minute to TKO his opponent, a technical knockout indicating the opponent was still conscious but the referee determined he could not continue the fight. Moreover, his opponent was a former MMA champion. This event made it onto the hot search list and also sparked heated discussions online.

Many netizens believed that Wu Li had proved through his actions that Traditional Martial Arts could be effective in the ring, while others felt that Wu Li had only beaten a retired athlete who hadn’t competed in three years; even if he had been a champion, how much of his strength remained?

As for the doubts on the internet, Wu Li didn’t care. In this world, there is no one or thing that is perfect. If someone wants to smear you, they can always find something to criticize, even if you step by step reach the pinnacle. There will always be those who question you, so there’s no need to care.

After Mo Yin’s fan base broke through ten million, he had earned quite a lot of Fan Value in just the last couple of days of live streaming, especially yesterday’s match against Ma Jian. Mo Yin’s live broadcast room reached 130,000 viewers, setting a new record. Along with the TV and online broadcast viewers, Wu Li earned 190,000 Fan Value from one match, now having a total of 278,000 Fan Value. Moneywise, he had 19.67 million, almost exceeding 20 million in total assets.

Most of Wu Li’s money was left in the system, and he didn’t withdraw it. He had been worried that if he suddenly needed money, and such a large sum appeared in his bank account, would it raise any issues?

Later, when Wu Li deliberately withdrew some money, he checked the bank transfer records and found that it was transferred from abroad, and the source of funds was completely legitimate, so he was reassured. Since there were no problems with the source of funds, even if someone inquired, he could say that he didn’t know which foreign tycoon kept transferring money over, "I’m helpless too."

Of course, now he had signing fees, shared platform tips, and gym shares, and if he started a company in the future with his own industry, it would be much easier to justify his income.

The next day, Wu Li’s match was scheduled for 3 p.m., with Qi Quanzhi and Ma Jian of Group C having finished their fight already.

Ma Jian was kicked in the ribs by Wu Li’s Piercing Kick yesterday, his liver took a direct hit, and it still hurt today, affecting his performance. Thus, he barely made it to the second round with Qi Quanzhi and finally showed a flaw, getting submitted by Qi Quanzhi on the ground.

With this, Qi Quanzhi had won both fights without having to go all three rounds. Now it was only about waiting for the results of Wu Li and Liu Zitao’s match.

Actually, everyone knew that there was no suspense in the outcome of the match. However, since Qi Quanzhi had KO’d his opponent in just 34 seconds the previous day, many people were curious about how long it would take for Wu Li to deal with his opponent?

The fight was about to begin, and Wu Li handed his phone to Liu Yuanbo. Since Wu Li’s TKO of a former MMA champion had trended the previous day, even more people were now focusing on his match. Before the fight had even started, the viewers in Mo Yin’s live broadcast room had already surpassed 120,000 people, and it was still growing. In addition, including the TV and various online platforms, another 70,000 plus people were watching the live broadcast according to the system’s statistics, bringing the total current viewership of Wu Li’s match to nearly 200,000 people.

After both competitors finished their warm-up, Wu Li and Liu Zitao entered the ring.

Professional boxing rules state that once an athlete gets KO’d in a match, they must take at least a six-month break from competing because being KO’d once can cause significant damage to the neck, head, and central nervous system. If they return to the ring too soon, their mortality rate increases significantly.

Therefore, for professional boxers, being KO’d by an opponent is something they least desire, not only because it’s embarrassing but also because it means they can’t fight and earn money for at least half a year.

Liu Zitao had been cleared by the doctor the day before, and insisted on fighting, so he still entered the ring today.

Actually, knowing that he had been placed in Group C, he knew he had no chance of proceeding. He watched the match between Wu Li and Ma Jian the night before and realized he was no match for Wu Li. It seemed pointless to risk fighting Wu Li, but Liu Zitao eventually insisted on competing in this match.

"You’re very strong, and I’m likely not your match, but I hope you will go all out," said Liu Zitao suddenly to Wu Li when the referee called them forward to go over the rules.

Wu Li was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Begin the match!" The referee gave the signal and then stepped to the side.

Liu Zitao’s eyes were determined as he raised a boxing stance and constantly altered his footwork, seemingly in a much better state than the day before.

Since the outcome was already set, he intended to enjoy the process.

Whoosh! Liu Zitao was the first to kick, a sweep aimed at Wu Li’s legs. Wu Li also raised his leg, meeting Liu Zitao’s advance in mid-air.

Bang! Their legs collided, and Liu Zitao winced in pain, while Wu Li, enhanced by Iron Body, was not affected at all. His right leg swiftly hit the ground as he stepped forward, his hips lifted, and he launched a pair of punches, a Horse Form Cannon!

Liu Zitao quickly tried to block with a Tiger Embrace over his arms but felt as if two hammers had struck him, and he involuntarily staggered backward.

Wu Li took another step forward, his hands raised upward in a Tiger Hugging Head upward flip, breaking through Liu Zitao’s guard and exposing his torso, leaving a wide-open target. Without hesitation, Wu Li delivered a fierce downward Splitting Fist, brushing past Liu Zitao’s eyes, nose, and chest, sending him flying backward.

Liu Zitao tilted and fell backward as Wu Li stepped forward half a pace, following the Splitting Fist with a powerful Beng Fist to the abdomen.

In the span of just three seconds, Liu Zitao took a Piercing Kick, a Cannon Fist, a Splitting Fist, and then a Beng Fist from Wu Li, and the whole sequence sent him crashing to the ground, clutching his stomach in agony.

Wu Li stood still, gradually returning to stance, as the referee stepped forward to check and immediately deemed Liu Zitao unable to continue the fight.

Five seconds into the fight, Wu Li TKO’d his opponent!

Liu Yuanbo stood nearby, dumbfounded, holding the phone. Just as the viewers in the live broadcast room were commenting about the blurry view, asking him to change the angle, he had just adjusted the view when the match ended?

"Is it over already?"

"Damn, I haven’t even lit my cigarette yet."

"I just put the sunflower seeds in my mouth."

"I didn’t see anything!!!"

"This assistant of Wu Li is no good. Made me miss the whole match!"

...

The comment section erupted with complaints and grumblings about Liu Yuanbo.

After a while, the live broadcast room was flooded with gifts again, as ’Sis is a Tough Gal’ sent another 100 Hearts of the Universe, leaving a comment "So fast," before leaving the room.

Wu Li came over and took the phone from Liu Yuanbo’s hand.

To prevent everyone from asking that silly question from yesterday again, Wu Li spoke directly to the screen: "Don’t ask. If you ask, it’s today."

Then ’Wu Li’s Little Fan Sister’ left a comment in the comment section that made Wu Li’s face turn dark.

"Big Brother Manly, you’re so fast."
