Chapter 64: Chapter 62 Finals Night (Part 2)

At eight o’clock in the evening, the Qi City Galaxy Sports Arena, the Extreme Martial Arts Tournament finals began.

First was the featherweight category final, followed by the lightweight, welterweight, and finally the lightweight.

Clearly, Chang Zhiyang knew very well what most of the audience was there to see tonight, so he scheduled Wu’s match for the last.

The finals consisted of five rounds, each lasting five minutes. The first three matches all went the full five rounds without any knockouts or submissions; they were all decided by scores, which made the audience feel somewhat bored, especially Wu’s fans. Wu’s matches were always knockout or TKO wins, clean and thrilling, much to the delight of the crowd.

Finally, at nine-thirty in the evening, following the host’s introduction, Han Yuanfei made his appearance, and then Wu.

When Wu appeared, cheers and applause erupted throughout the venue, and the TV and online streaming ratings began to skyrocket.

The referee called both competitors to the front to explain the rules, Han Yuanfei twisted his neck, looking provocatively at Wu, who watched his opponent calmly, once again the opponent’s data appeared in front of him:

[Height: 175cm (178)

Weight: 75kg (73)

Muscle Strength: 129 (115)

Muscle Burst: 130 (128)

Muscle Endurance: 108 (106)

Neural Response: 132 (135)

Resistance to Hits: 142 (210)

Skill: Sandboxing (Master Level), Chinese wrestling (Master Level), Judo (Master Level)

Overall Score: B (19%)

(Data in parentheses is the host’s data)]

It was evident that except for neural response and resistance to hits, Han Yuanfei was superior to Wu in all other physical aspects, and he also had an additional Master Level Martial Arts, hence his overall score was higher than Wu’s.

Xingyi Grandmaster Guo Yunshen said that Xingyi Fist involves three layers of understanding, three-step skills, and three methods of training, among which the three-step skills refer to Bone Strengthening, Muscle Strengthening, and Marrow.

Bone Strengthening involved solidifying the foundation and fortifying the body, making the skeletal structure as strong as iron and stone, laying the most basic physical foundation for martial arts training; then came Muscle Strengthening, to enhance the flexibility and lengthen the muscles—’long muscles generate great strength’, enhancing not only the body’s flexibility but also its power.

Just these first two steps of training, if well practiced, could significantly enhance a person’s physical qualities over a decade or so. Unfortunately, the Xingyi Fist Wu had learned from his grandfather did not include the complete methods for Bone and Muscle Strengthening. As for the final step of Marrow Cleansing, it was even more esoteric, whispered about in various Fist Scriptures, and during the period of the Republic, very few genuinely received the full transmission, let alone in modern times.

This was why Wu, having not received the complete three-step training in his martial arts, despite practicing Xingyi for fourteen years, still fell short in physical quality when compared to Han Yuanfei, who had undergone seven or eight years of scientific training.

Moreover, his Xingyi Fist had been stuck at Master Level for many years because no one had taught him how to advance further. Otherwise, with his talents, if he had started with a complete transmission, he might have reached the Grandmaster level by now.

Thus, Wu was not overly concerned about his lower overall score compared to Han Yuanfei, understanding that this score only represented their ranking within the MMA ring, indicating that the opponent was stronger in terms of data under MMA rules.

Moreover, now that Wu had access to the system, he could comprehend the complete transmission of any martial arts; enhancing his physical qualities and skills was only a matter of time, especially since he could also save a substantial amount of time training his body and enhancing his skills through the system.

"The match begins!" The referee’s words interrupted Wu Li’s thoughts, bringing him back to the scene.

As the referee gestured, the venue suddenly quieted down, everyone instinctively held their breath and focused, watching the two contestants on the central ring.

Han Yuanfei initiated the attack, testing Wu Li with a left hook.

Wu Li blocked the punch with his right hand and then chopped down, aiming to use Eagle Form to grasp Han Yuanfei’s elbow joint.

Han Yuanfei quickly retracted his left fist, tilted his body to the right, lowered his head and bent over, and threw a right punch towards Wu Li’s ribs.

Wu Li swung his left arm, using a Cross Fist to block Han Yuanfei’s punch.

Bang! Their arms collided.

Han Yuanfei quickly pulled back, his right fist retracted under his jaw, and he threw a Left Straight Punch towards the opening left by Wu Li’s arm swing.

Wu Li tried to deflect Han Yuanfei’s right punch with his right hand, intending to close the distance immediately, but as soon as he touched the arm, he felt the immense power in the punch.

In terms of muscle strength, Han Yuanfei surpassed Wu Li; he used seventy percent of his strength in that punch, and its sudden eruption caught Wu Li off guard, failing to deflect it immediately.

Seizing the opportunity, Han Yuanfei stepped forward, his hands reaching for Wu Li’s arm; his mastery in Martial Arts included Chinese wrestling and Judo, revealing his proficiency in grappling and throwing techniques.

Indeed, Han Yuanfei’s fighting style focused on close combat and submissions on the ground. Wu Li, having watched Han Yuanfei’s previous matches and with System Detection, was naturally cautious of this approach. When he sensed Han Yuanfei closing in, Wu Li’s right fist exploded from his abdomen, taking a small step forward, his body powering up within a square inch—a Half-step Breaking Fist, the technique Guo Yunshen once used to be unbeaten worldwide.

Smack! Han Yuanfei took the hit hard but still grabbed Wu Li’s arms. However, affected by Wu Li’s Breaking Fist, his grip faltered, and Wu Li seized the opportunity to deliver Double Snake Form: Drilling Fist, aiming at Han Yuanfei’s chin with his muscles bulging and arms spinning internally.

Trapped at the Master Level for years, Wu Li focused solely on Xingyi Fist for fourteen years, practicing mainly the Tiger Form inherited from his grandfather, but he was proficient in all eleven other forms as well.

This pair of Drilling Fists was quick, concealed, and sudden, perfectly exemplifying the characteristics of Snake Form!

Han Yuanfei immediately pulled back his hands, guarding his chest to block Wu Li’s Drilling Fists, but his body involuntarily stepped back. He then shot out his right leg like a scythe, aiming to hook Wu Li’s ankle.

Wu Li, as if he had eyes on his feet, didn’t even look as he quickly lifted his left leg, avoiding Han Yuanfei’s hooking leg, and then thrust downward with a Piercing Kick towards Han Yuanfei’s calf.

Han Yuanfei also reacted swiftly, using his well-honed reflexes to pull back his right leg from Wu Li’s thrust, then stomping fiercely while continuing to reach for Wu Li’s arms.

However, Wu Li’s Piercing Kick was just a feint, not truly thrusting hard, and he quickly retracted his leg, stepping back twice to regain distance from Han Yuanfei.

The brief exchange lasting only a few seconds was incredibly fast, keeping all the spectators riveted. When the two contestants regained distance, the venue erupted in thunderous applause.

Wu Li watched Han Yuanfei, sensing his excitement from the encounter.

After three days of rest, both were nearly fully recovered physically. Han Yuanfei hadn’t faced any strong opponents throughout and remained unharmed, thus his condition was optimal, even reaching a peak state due to his intense desire to defeat his opponent.

Looking at the excited Han Yuanfei, Wu Li beckoned him with a hooked finger.
