Chapter 56: Chapter 54: New System Features

[The number of viewers in the livestream room had exceeded 200,000 for the first time, triggering the activation of a new system feature.]

When Wu Li was boasting to his fans, he suddenly received a message from the system.

Clearly, the system’s definition of the livestream room’s audience encompassed viewers watching his livestream at that time and was not restricted to any one platform; at that moment, Mo Yin’s livestream had 130,000 viewers, and more than 70,000 were watching via TV and internet platforms combined, indeed exceeding 200,000.

Previously, when the number of viewers in the livestream room first surpassed 100,000, there had been a reward, and now breaking 200,000 brought new developments.

Wu Li could no longer focus on speaking with his fans; he eagerly opened the system.

[System has activated a new feature: "Detection."]

[Detection: Allows detection of one’s own and others’ overall strength.]

[Note one: The detected data is theoretical and does not signify actual combat power.]

[Note two: Overall Score merely represents the athlete’s strength in their respective field.]

[Note three: It is impossible to detect data for targets whose score is more than one level higher than oneself.]

After reading the introduction, Wu Li curiously used the function on himself.

[Height: 178 cm

Weight: 73 kg

Muscle Strength: 115

Muscle Burst: 128

Muscle Endurance: 106

Resistance To Hits: 210

Neural Response: 135

(Average level for an adult male is 80)

Skill: Possesses two Master Level Martial Arts (Xingyi Fist, Earth Skill Fist)

Overall Score: B- (78%)

(Physical fitness and skills each contribute 50% to the score)]

Looking at his data, Wu Li recalled his victory over Ren Donglai, the system had originally given Ren Donglai a C+ Overall Score which temporarily rose to B due to him taking medication. Now, his own score was B- (78%), and he estimated that if he could further improve his physical fitness or upgrade a Skill to Master Level, this 78% might increase.

Of course, this score only represented Wu Li’s strength in MMA; if he participated in a Boxing match, the Master Level Martial Arts he possessed would be heavily restricted in Boxing, and his score might only be C.

Looking at the various data, Resistance To Hits was far above average due to Iron Body, while other data appeared relatively normal. The system explicitly mentioned that the Overall Score was theoretical and did not represent actual combat power, which Wu Li could understand pretty well.

The Overall Score was determined based on one’s physical fitness and mastered Martial Arts, much like two people playing cards— if one had a great hand, say four deuces with a pair of jokers, then his Overall Score would indeed be high, but it doesn’t mean he will necessarily beat someone with a worse hand.

For example, if someone played three of a kind, and you directly countered with four deuces, it’d be hard to secure a win with that play.

Just like Liu Zitao, in Wu Li’s view, this person’s Overall Score should be at least a C-. However, yesterday during his match with Qi Quanzhi, he didn’t even display D-level capability. This was why the system stated that an Overall Score does not represent actual combat power. Mindset, on-the-spot performance, tactics, and even luck, could all affect the outcome of a match.

This was also the thrill of competitive sports; one could never predict what might happen next.

The system classified Overall Scores into six ranks: S, A, B, C, D, and E. Wu Li could only detect data for opponents of the same or a lower rank. Currently, he would not be able to detect specific data for opponents with an A or S rank.

"Master, that’s amazing! I feel like the matches you fight and the ones I fight are completely different."

Liu Yuanbo said excitedly, interrupting Wu Li’s train of thought.

Wu Li was surprised, "You’ve fought in matches too?"

Liu Yuanbo sheepishly rubbed his head, "My dad knows I love Martial Arts; he signed me up for an amateur competition before. Everyone there was an amateur enthusiast, and I even won a place."

Wu Li nodded, "That’s impressive, what place did you get?"

As they talked, Wu Li used the Detection on Liu Yuanbo.

[Height: 174cm

Weight: 68kg

Muscle Strength: 94

Muscle Burst: 92

Muscle Endurance: 84

Resistance To Hits: 90

Neural Response: 92

(Average level for an adult male in all aspects is 80)

Skill: No master level or higher martial arts

Overall Score: E+ (64%)

(Physical fitness and skills each account for 50% of the overall score)]

Liu Yuanbo said somewhat smugly, "I finally made it to the finals and narrowly lost to the champion, securing second place."

Wu Li: "..."

He randomly tested people around him, and their overall scores were either E- or E, meaning that ordinary people without training would have this rating. Liu Yuanbo, who had practiced for several years and even had one-on-one professional coaching, was just a bit better than an ordinary person, essentially a total no-hoper. How could he possibly have won the runner-up?

Wu Li couldn’t help but recall a saying, "My punch carries the power of two billion, can you guys withstand it?"

"Yuan Bo," Wu Li remarked, patting Liu Yuanbo’s shoulder, "you have a good father."

Liu Yuanbo: "???"

...

Wu Li fought two battles in two days, easily defeating his opponents, while Li Jun’s specifically invited boxer Yang Fan, placed in Group D, also won both his matches. Winning one more tomorrow would see him advance.

According to the schedule, if Wu Li also advanced tomorrow, the two would meet in the knockout round.

Originally, in the plans of Li Jun and Lin Dongsen, even if Wu Li managed to advance, he was supposed to have gone through tough battles, with significant physical exertion and possibly even carrying injuries. However, due to Chang Zhiyang’s last-minute adjustments and Wu Li’s exceptional performance, he was now almost unspent.

"How confident are you about defeating him?" On the other side of Court 3, Li Jun asked the boxer beside him, Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was a boxer Li Jun pulled strings to recruit. This year he turned thirty and had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. At eighteen, he had been chosen for Xing Province’s provincial Sandboxing training team, with the potential to be picked for the National Team. However, he was expelled from the team later for getting into fights outside.

Afterward, Yang Fan had fought in underground boxing matches in Xing Province and gained some fame. After getting injured abroad in bare-knuckle fights and returning home to recover, Li Jun found him.

Initially planning to continue competing abroad in bare-knuckle fights because they paid better, someone introduced him to Li Jun. Li Jun offered a good price, attracting him to earn some money before leaving.

Later, Li Jun introduced Yang Fan to Lin Dongsen. After some conversations, Yang Fan was fully tempted: by beating Wu Li, he would instantly become famous, and with Sky Entertainment operating in the shadows, he could have a future where he made money just by talking.

Many well-known fighters in the martial arts world live glamorous lives, earning millions in appearance fees, plus broadcast and commercial endorsements, giving them high income. However, these are the top echelons within a pyramid; for most fighters, practicing martial arts is quite costly and painful.

Nutrition costs, medical expenses, tuition fees—they aren’t small amounts. Thus the ancient saying of ’poor literature, rich martial arts’ holds somewhat true today; besides, even pouring all that money into training requires immense and almost inhumane effort from the fighter, with the philosophy of ’train till you nearly die.’

Even then, outcomes aren’t guaranteed, and only a few fighters gain fame. For those like Yang Fan, who want to make a living from fighting, their option is to participate in more amateur matches, like the underground boxing he did in Xing Province. These aren’t as bloody and violent as novels and dramas portray; it’s not typical for fighters to die in the ring.

Most underground boxing matches are unofficial amateur bouts without official sanction, possibly lacking insurance and adequate medical support. Correspondingly, the fighters’ skill levels aren’t particularly high, dismissing any notion that true masters hide in underground boxing.

During his toughest times, Yang Fan fought for a few hundred per match. Later, as he gained some fame, he moved on to compete in regular overseas bare-knuckle matches, earning significantly more. But at thirty with injuries plaguing him, he was uncertain how many more years he could continue this way, which made the future painted by Lin Dongsen and Li Jun highly appealing.

By just defeating Wu Li, a bright future awaited!

"Be careful, his Traditional Martial Arts are not simple," Li Jun cautioned Yang Fan seriously.

Yang Fan looked over at Wu Li not far away and licked his lips, "Don’t worry, I also know Traditional Martial Arts; they’re not so mystical."

"I just hope he can beat Qi Quanzhi tomorrow so that he can face me!"
