Chapter 67: There is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts

[Master’s Path: The inheritance of Martial Arts not only requires solid combat achievements but also requires the recognition from true masters in front of the world.]

[Chain Task Master’s Path I: Master’s Reality]

[To become a true master, you must first have the strength of a master. Please enhance at least one Martial Art to Master Level.]

Wu Li looked at the system information before him, thoughtful.

He had discovered that the tasks given by the system were not random. When he intended to teach the hoodlums a lesson, the system issued the temporary task ’Rise to Fame.’ When he publicly declared that Traditional Martial Arts could fight, it gave the task to prove Traditional Martial Arts, asking him to publicly challenge an opponent.

Had the person who received the system practiced Boxing instead of Traditional Martial Arts, and had no intention of promoting Traditional Martial Arts, perhaps the tasks given by the system would have been different.

Therefore, Wu Li realized that the system would assign tasks based on his actions and thoughts, and the purpose of the tasks was to better achieve his ideas.

Just now, in front of millions of viewers, Wu Li said that this victory was just a beginning, true for Traditional Martial Arts and for himself, so the system immediately issued such a task. Clearly, the final goal of the task was to shape Wu Li into a true master of Traditional Martial Arts and to have him speak for it.

In the ring, the interview ended, and Wu Li stepped down, walking back to the locker room.

At the same time, his live stream for the night was concluded, and the system began to settle.

[Highest number of online viewers during this live stream: 1.13 million, gaining 1.13 million Fan Value]

[Total rewards from this live stream amounted to 560,000, converted to 5.6 million yuan]

As of now, Wu Li’s personal information is as follows:

[Name: Wu Li

Fan Value: 2.03 million

Money: 36.78 million

Skills: Xingyi Fist (Master Level), Earth Skill Fist (Master Level), Piercing Kick (Skilled Level), Yong Chun (Skilled Level), Ground Fist (Skilled Level), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Skilled Level)

Rare Skills: Iron Body, Iron Man

Props: Master Level Experience Card x18]

By reaching the finals, several days of live streaming had finally pushed Wu Li’s Fan Value past two million, and his money had reached over thirty million, achieving substantial gains, not to mention the task rewards that he had yet to claim.

Wu Li rested in the locker room while considering which three rewards he should choose from the task.

It could be foreseen that after tonight, those who publicly challenged him on Mo Yin would be as plenty as carps crossing the river, only increasing in number, and this time not only amateurs but probably professional fighters might challenge him as well.

After all, Wu Li represented Traditional Martial Arts, which had not fought in the ring for many years, and in recent years, some practitioners of modern combat sports have continuously challenged the Martial Arts World, causing a lot of news and making the general public, as well as many professionals, view Traditional Martial Arts and modern combat sports as two opposing groups.

It seems as if Traditional Martial Arts being able to compete in the ring is a provocation to modern combat sports, difficult for people to accept.

Traditional Martial Arts and modern combat had always been ideologically opposed. From a practical standpoint of interests, once Traditional Martial Arts, under the promotion of Wu Li, truly sparked a wave of interest, many people who loved combat sports might opt to learn Traditional Martial Arts first. This would be a massive blow to many domestic gyms teaching modern combat sports.

Therefore, no matter the motive, whether it was to step on Wu Li and gain fame, or simply because they found Wu Li unsightly, or even for the benefit of their own community, now that Wu Li had reignited the momentum of Traditional Martial Arts, those who challenged him would only grow more numerous and formidable!

From the moment he publicly challenged Ren Donglai, Wu Li had vaguely foreseen this: If he wanted to quickly enhance his strength, he needed more Fan Value. Only with greater fame would Fan Value grow faster; as a result, the momentum of Traditional Martial Arts would be driven by him.

As long as Wu Li didn’t stop, he would provoke more and more people and affect the interests of an increasing number. Someday, he might be facing the entire modern combat sports world.

There is no first in literature, but in martial arts, there is no second place. The path Wu Li had chosen was always fraught with danger, not allowing for the slightest retreat or humility. He could only keep going, reach the end, and attain the highest peak to truly succeed.

With this thought, four characters emerged in Wu Li’s mind. Just thinking about these four words, he couldn’t help but feel his blood boiling.

"By that time, there will truly be an endless stream of experts to defeat and territories to conquer!"

Having understood this, Wu Li had a clear idea of which three rewards to choose. He needed to strengthen his abilities as quickly as possible and also prepare for the upcoming challenges.

Thus, the fifth reward, an A-rank Virtual Battle Card, was a must-choose; it would allow him to fight against simulated opponents in Virtual Space. If an expert with an Overall Score of A-rank challenged him, this card would help improve his odds of winning.

Then there was the fourth reward, upgrading Iron Man to Endurance Muscle.

The effect of Endurance Muscle was to reduce physical stamina consumption by 20%, an effect that one would attain only after reaching the Grandmaster Realm of Tai Chi Fist. To exchange for this, one must possess Iron Man and then spend six hundred thousand Fan Value.

In comparison, Fiery Flame and Eagle Eye only required three hundred thousand Fan Value, and Muscle Master needed five hundred thousand. In terms of cost-effectiveness, it made sense to choose Endurance Muscle first. Moreover, through this competition, Wu Li had personally realized the benefits of conserving stamina, so the fourth reward was also a necessity.

Of the remaining three rewards, Muscle Master would be the choice based on exchange prices, but Wu Li had a different idea.

The special effect of Muscle Master was to increase muscle strength by 50%. One needed to train an External Fist to Master Level to achieve this effect. Wu Li’s Xingyi Fist was an Internal Fist, and he planned to focus on this, so there was no way he could train another External Fist to a high level soon.

However, the inability to advance in External Fist didn’t mean he couldn’t improve his physical attributes in the short term.

With complete inheritance of Xingyi Fist and mastery of the entire training methods of Bone Strengthening, Muscle Strengthening, and Bone Marrow, it was not difficult for Wu Li to enhance his physical attributes using Internal Fist methods in a short period. And the 50% increase in muscle strength provided by Muscle Master depended on Wu Li’s own base level.

Wu Li’s current Muscle Power was 115, and a 50% increase would take it to 172.5; however, if Wu Li first increased his Muscle Power to 130 or even higher, the increase he would get by later exchanging for Muscle Master would be even greater.

This was like a person with a naturally slender body and one with inherently strong physique both practicing the same External Fist—the naturally strong individual was at an advantage and would see greater improvement.

This was also why many physically robust foreigners who learned our Traditional Martial Arts, especially External Fist, could often outperform many of our countrymen when fighting.

The system’s five rewards had to be chosen within one hour. Wu Li planned not to pick Muscle Master for now, but rather to enhance his physical quality using Internal Fist training methods over some time before spending Fan Value to exchange for Muscle Master. By doing so, he would be combining Internal and External training.

[Selecting the first, fourth, and fifth rewards]

Wu Li made his choices in the system.
