Chapter 65: Chapter 63 Final Night (Part 2)

Seeing Wu Li’s provocative actions, anger flashed across Han Yuanfei’s face as he charged forward once more.

Han Yuanfei once again reached for Wu Li, determined that even if he had to endure a few hard punches, he would grab hold of Wu Li and then use throwing skills to take him down and finish the fight on the ground.

Unlike Qi Quanzhi initially, although both aimed to close the distance with Wu Li, Han Yuanfei was much better at controlling the distance and the pace of the fight. After all, whether it was Chinese wrestling or Judo, the primary condition was to get close first before any skills could be unleashed.

Han Yuanfei changed his steps back and forth, then suddenly lunged forward, bending over and aiming his right hand at Wu Li’s left leg.

Wu Li retreating his left leg and kicked out with his right leg, thrusting precisely at Han Yuanfei’s chin. If this kick had landed, Han Yuanfei could have been knocked out.

However, Han Yuanfei suddenly twisted his body, shifting from lunging to the right to lunging to the left, using a feint as his hands seemed to reach for Wu Li’s left leg but were actually targeting the right leg.

The move was executed so swiftly that Wu Li couldn’t avoid it, and Han Yuanfei managed to grab his right leg.

Han Yuanfei, holding Wu Li’s right leg, was about to use his body to thrust forward and bring Wu Li down to perform a locking move on the right leg to achieve submission. However, before he could bring Wu Li down, Wu Li chose to fall backward on his own.

Wu Li tensed his abdominal muscles and fell backwards, curving his body like a bow, then transferred all his kinetic energy to his left leg, which suddenly sprung upward!

Like an arrow released from a bowstring, Wu Li’s left leg harshly kicked towards Han Yuanfei’s abdomen.

This move was a killing move from Ground Fist, designed specifically to counter close-range leg-holding moves like Han Yuanfei’s. Wu Li, having trained in this martial art for so long, finally applied it in the ring.

Originally, after this move, bending over and lifting the leg should have directly kicked at the opponent’s groin, ending the fight.

However, in the ring, Wu Li could only choose to kick at Han Yuanfei’s abdomen.

Han Yuanfei was shocked, not expecting Wu Li to use such a move. He was already lunging forward and couldn’t change direction in time, firmly receiving Wu Li’s kick.

Bang!

The force of Han Yuanfei’s lunge combined with Wu Li’s twisting upward kick to the abdomen made Han Yuanfei feel like someone had hammered him hard in the abdomen, the pain making him let out a low roar.

"Ah!"

Han Yuanfei couldn’t help but release his grip on Wu Li’s right leg and fell to the ground, his body pressing down on Wu Li’s right leg, while Wu Li also lay on the ground, his left leg positioned right above Han Yuanfei’s head.

According to MMA rules, when an opponent has all four limbs on the ground, kicking at their head is not allowed, so Wu Li could only use his left leg to kick Han Yuanfei’s shoulder and then use it to leverage his right leg out before standing up swiftly.

Han Yuanfei’s resistance and pain tolerance were noteworthy too, and after a brief pause, he quickly rolled on the ground, taking a second longer than Wu Li to stand up.

Taking advantage of Han Yuanfei’s unsteadiness, Wu Li let out a low growl, putting force into his voice, and with a burst of energy, lunged at his opponent.

As soon as Han Yuanfei heard the sound, Wu Li was already in front of him.

Not understanding why Wu Li would close the distance voluntarily, Han Yuanfei didn’t have time to think much. He instinctively reached out, grabbing Wu Li’s shoulder with one hand and his waist with the other. However, before he could exert any force, Wu Li once again chose to fall backward.

As Wu Li fell, he pushed hard against Han Yuanfei’s shoulders, sending him backward.

Han Yuanfei’s balance was already unstable, and with Wu Li’s sudden push, he uncontrollably toppled backward.

Wu Li’s body landed first; he propped himself up with his arms behind him, lifting his upper body while positioning his legs between Han Yuanfei’s, then pressing his knees against Han Yuanfei’s knees, forcefully spreading them apart.

Sitting on the ground, Han Yuanfei hadn’t managed any response before he felt a sharp pain as his legs were involuntarily forced apart by Wu Li, pain radiating from his knee joints and groin.

This was another technique from Earth Skill Fist, which Wu Li had converted along with Ground Fist and was now sequentially applying.

Ground Fist’s killing moves were fiercer, often targeting the opponent’s groin and throat. They were more suited for turning passive situations into aggressive ones due to the limits of the ring, while Earth Skill Fist, possessing both standing and ground techniques, was very close to the MMA rules among traditional martial arts.

At this moment, Wu Li was using a joint technique from Earth Skill Fist to control Han Yuanfei’s legs.

Having expertise in Chinese wrestling and Judo, and also being quite familiar with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Han Yuanfei quickly reacted when his joints were controlled. He squeezed his legs together and rotated his body to the side, trying to break free from Wu Li’s control.

Seeing this, Wu Li forcefully propped himself up with his hands and rolled to the side along with Han Yuanfei, his legs like a pair of scissors, aiming at Han Yuanfei’s knee joints.

Han Yuanfei hurriedly tucked his legs and rolled backwards to avoid Wu Li’s legs, then stood up quickly.

However, just as Han Yuanfei had half-risen, Wu Li’s legs were there again, twisting together and tripping Han Yuanfei once more.

Both men continuously rolled on the ground, their legs chaotically tangling, and while their positions looked awkward, those in the know understood that at any moment, someone’s leg could be locked by their opponent.

Stare! Until the bell rang, marking the end of the first round, neither had managed to determine a winner on the ground.

The referee stepped forward and separated the two, each returning to their corners to rest.

Only then did exclamations fill the arena.

Before, Wu Li had always relied on Xingyi Fist against his opponents, giving the impression that he did not know any ground skills and could only end fights while standing. However, in just those past few minutes, Wu Li had clearly shown ground skills that were no less inferior to those of Han Yuanfei, a professional MMA fighter!

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?"

"It doesn’t look like it."

"So Wu Li can do ground skills too, he’s kept it well hidden!"

"Sneaky, but I like it, hehe."

...

Online, there were discussions everywhere about Wu Li’s ground fighting just now.

Ground Fist and Earth Skill Fist were not very well-known, and not many people were aware of them, so for the time being, no one had recognized that these were the martial arts Wu Li had just used. Many still thought he was using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Just when everyone thought Wu Li suddenly displayed ground skills simply to catch Han Yuanfei off guard and would likely revert to Xingyi, the second round began, and everyone was stunned.

At the start of the second round, Wu Li launched with a flying tackle, immediately going to the ground and using his legs to entwine Han Yuanfei.

He continued to use ground skills!

Not only did the audience not expect this, but Han Yuanfei was also taken by surprise and hastily dodged.

The Fist Scripture says, "Heavenly Dog Shaking Water Shaking Body Skill, gather the energy from the Dantian abruptly, power originates from the foot’s root and waist, shaking head and tail with limbs appearing. As quiet as a spiritual dog watching a cave, as moving as a dragon wrestling in the sea," this is what Earth Skill Fist talks about.

On the ground, Wu Li’s legs either pushed or kicked, sliced or hooked, sweeping, flicking, tripping, entangling, binding, and twisting. His body moved like a dog, his actions were swift as the wind, forcing Han Yuanfei to constantly retreat.

The key characteristic of Earth Skills Fist is: intending to fall without showing it, see opportunities upon falling, kicking and binding; in fact, the essence of it is the Binding Skill. If Wu Li had a rope in his hand then, he would have already tripped and bound Han Yuanfei.

Even so, because such a martial arts technique had never been seen before, Han Yuanfei, who primarily relies on throwing and ground skills, was forced by Wu Li to keep his distance, which made him look very displeased.

"I’m just being cautious," Han Yuanfei comforted himself inwardly.

"What a great Flying Undersea Skyward Kick, dog methods hitting the ground like a windmill!"

Down in the audience, Qi Jianwei recognized the Earth Skill Fist Wu Li was using and voiced his admiration.

Hearing him say that, Yan Jianli also realized it and said softly, "The hands are like Arhats, the body like a dragon, legs like tiger tails, steps like dogs, Dharma sitting meditation butterfly legs, alive dragon subdues tiger, like a dog’s posture. I didn’t expect this young man to know such a martial art."

"Old Qi, Coach Yan, tell us about it," Liu Xiaochuan leaned over and asked.

Qi Jianwei smiled and did not speak. Yan Baili nodded slightly, "Wu Li is currently using Earth Skill Fist, which is not very widespread now, I don’t know much about it, but by the looks of it, he must have gotten the true transmission."

"I’m really curious about what kind of master could teach such a disciple," Qi Jianwei said.

"It was his grandfather and his grandfather’s peers, not sure if they are still alive," Yan Baili said softly, watching Wu Li rolling from side to side onstage.

Stare! The second round ended, and there wasn’t much hand-to-hand combat this round, as Han Yuanfei spent most of the time dodging and had even received a warning from the referee. It was foreseeable that in the next round he couldn’t continue to avoid fighting anymore.

During the break, the venue erupted with boos, all directed at Han Yuanfei’s avoiding tactics, obviously displeased by such behavior.

"Han Yuanfei, you coward, get off the stage!" someone shouted at Han Yuanfei on the stage.

Han Yuanfei’s nose was almost crooked with anger, as he had boasted a lot before the match, and now to be ridiculed like this on stage made the proud him furious.

At the start of the third round, Han Yuanfei changed his attitude and charged toward Wu Li.

After observing during the last round, Han Yuanfei had gained some understanding of Wu Li’s Earth Skill Fist. After all, many martial arts techniques are interconnected, Chinese wrestling, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu also share many similarities with Earth Skill Fist.

Facing the charging Han Yuanfei, Wu Li neither dodged nor avoided and grappled with his opponent.

You’re good at throwing and ground skills, aren’t you? I will use what you’re good at to beat you!

Wu Li chose this way of fighting because he held this thought, and beyond that, he wanted to show all those who doubted traditional martial arts through his actions:

"What, you say Traditional Martial Arts have no ground skills? Then I’ll show you!"

Wu Li and Han Yuanfei tripped each other and fell hard on the ground.

Their eyes met, and Wu Li raised an eyebrow.

"You think Traditional Martial Arts are all talk and no action, huh? Brother doesn’t need Xingyi to win against you!"
