Chapter 66: Chapter 64 The Glory of the Champion, Master’s Path

The third round began, and most of the live audience and netizens could see Wu Li’s intentions, which was to defeat his opponent in Han Yuanfei’s strongest domain!

This silent arrogance made many of Wu Li’s haters silent; they wanted to say something online but feared that if Wu Li really won later, they would be slapped in the face.

As for Wu Li’s fans, at this moment, they were completely thrilled.

Wu Li’s fangirl: "Hello everyone, my name is Wu Li, the unreasonable Li!"

Master II: "Impressive! Winning this way is satisfying!"

Sway~: "My husband truly is impressive, even rolling on the ground he looks so handsome!"

Penmight Silent: "Guys, we can’t hate on this, on to the next one."

...

On the field, Han Yuanfei hugged Wu Li, his body twisting in an attempt to lock Wu Li’s arm; his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, though not at master level, was unique on the ONE competition ground as he incorporated some power-generating techniques from Chinese wrestling and Judo into it, subduing many opponents with his ground skills.

However, what he was up against now was Wu Li, proficient in Earth Skill Fist and not any weaker than a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt expert!

The reason why Wu Li had also elevated his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to a skilled level was actually for reference and understanding; he didn’t plan to use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the ring, but he could draw on some of its power-generating techniques and, by understanding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, predict his opponent’s intentions in advance and quickly find countermeasures.

Many legendary UFC fighters would also study traditional martial arts and absorb their essence, like Night Demon and Spider also practiced Yong Chun, and Hua Country’s first UFC champion would seek out Long Arm Fist to consult.

They would absorb some of the power-generating techniques and combat philosophies from traditional martial arts, understand them, and then incorporate them into their own fighting systems, like adding wings to a tiger.

Now, Wu Li was doing the same but in reverse, integrating some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu power-generating techniques and combat philosophy into traditional martial arts and then using traditional martial arts against his opponent.

Wu Li and Han Yuanfei tangled on the ring, battling strength and explosive power, Han Yuanfei had the advantage, but now he was at a disadvantage because Wu Li seemed to predict all his moves, preemptively exerting force to counter him at every turn. Plus, the sharp leg techniques from Earth Skill Fist made Han Yuanfei uncomfortable to respond, and the more he fought, the more strenuous it became.

Ground skills actually consume a lot of stamina because they require continuous effort, and the muscles dare not relax, so just a few minutes in, both competitors on the stage began to gasp heavily.

Han Yuanfei’s lower abdomen was severely hit by Wu Li in the first round; although it quickly recovered afterward, it always throbbed faintly. Now, as his stamina rapidly declined, the impact of his abdominal injury was magnified.

Finally, during another rolling and twisting exertion, Han Yuanfei suddenly felt a wrenching pain in his lower abdomen, causing the strength in his hands to weaken.

Wu Li immediately noticed and quickly seized the opportunity, his legs exerting force, his right leg threading through and positioning under Han Yuanfei’s left leg, then his body rolling to bend his left leg from the knee, placing his own left leg underneath the bent calf, and pressing his right leg firmly over it, completing a joint technique from Earth Skill Fist.

Han Yuanfei’s left leg was firmly locked!

Han Yuanfei’s face was contorted with pain as he struggled to bear the intense agony, attempting to break free. However, the power of joint techniques is such that even a frail woman can hold a strong man’s joint, making it difficult for him to break free, and Wu Li was certainly not a frail woman.

Han Yuanfei struggled several times, feeling his left leg getting tighter and tighter until it seemed like Wu Li might actually break it.

Tears streamed down his face as he could only tap the ground rapidly with his hand, choosing to submit.

The referee immediately intervened, asking Wu Li to release his hold.

Wu Li released his legs, freeing Han Yuanfei’s left leg.

Han Yuanfei lay on the ground, either because he had not yet recovered or out of shame, he was reluctant to get up.

Wu Li didn’t bother with him and waved to the audience around, the venue filled with cheers and applause.

December 23, 2019.

Wu Li, victorious!

[Live room audience exceeds five hundred thousand for the first time, reward: Master Level Experience Card x5]

Wu Li had been so focused during the competition that he neglected the system notifications until now when he finally had the time to check them.

During the recent match, the viewership for Wu Li’s competition had successively breached 500,000 and 1,000,000 on Mo Yin’s live broadcast, Qi City TV Station, and several online platforms, prompting the system to award Wu Li twice in succession.

With the three cards already in hand, he now possessed 18 Master Level Experience Cards; with each card providing ten minutes of gameplay, which meant that Wu Li could now experience three hours within the Master Realm!

When the referee raised Wu Li’s right hand to declare him the winner of the match, the system message came again:

Looking at these rewards, Wu Li couldn’t help but curl his lips upward, the rewards were too generous, and they were worth the hard-fought victory!

There wasn’t enough time to ponder which three rewards to choose as the host had already come up to Wu Li with a microphone, ready to conduct a post-match interview.

"Wu Li, congratulations, congratulations on winning the Lightweight Championship, anything you’d like to say?" the host extended the microphone toward Wu Li.

Wu Li looked around, with no spotlights he couldn’t clearly see the expressions of the audience below, but the venue quickly fell silent; everyone wanted to hear what Wu Li had to say at this moment.

"About a fortnight ago in my live broadcast, I said: Traditional Martial Arts must achieve results on the modern combat sports stage to gain broader recognition," Wu Li began slowly.

"At that time, someone in the broadcast room asked who could now represent Traditional Martial Arts to achieve those results. So I said one thing."

Here, Wu Li paused for a moment before continuing.

"I said, ’If not me, then who?’"

"Today, I have proven with actions that Traditional Martial Arts can fight in the ring!"

"Perhaps many people feel that I alone cannot represent Traditional Martial Arts, but I want to say, it’s not just me; I believe that more and more masters of Traditional Martial Arts will step into the ring in the future, I am just the beginning."

"And for me, this victory today is also just the beginning!"

"That’s all I have to say."

Wu Li nodded at the host.

There was a moment of silence below, and then thunderous applause erupted.

Qi Jianwei, Yan Baili, and other inheritors of Traditional Martial Arts were also clapping excitedly, a gleam in their eyes.

At the same time, Wu Li received another message from the system.
