Chapter 99: Chapter 93: Tiger Pounce, Horse Leap!

Splitting Fist belongs to the metal element, similar to an axe, Wu Li approached Wang Xiaobo from behind and viciously chopped down with his left forearm, like splitting a mountain with an axe.

Wu Li’s movements were too quick, and Wang Xiaobo was already too late to retreat. He flipped his right arm over, facing his palm towards Wu Li’s left arm, intending to directly grapple with him. However, as his palm came into contact with Wu Li’s left arm, his expression suddenly changed, not only failing to grasp Wu Li’s arm but also having his own arm fiercely knocked down.

With Wang Xiaobo’s right arm knocked down, a huge opening was exposed on his chest, and Wu Li immediately stepped forward, seizing the center line and throwing a Drilling Fist.

After breaking through to the Master Level, Wu Li’s hand speed and explosive power had greatly improved compared to before, because he could quickly mobilize his Muscle Bone Power in coordination with his muscle strength. With a blend of hardness and softness, his power naturally increased significantly.

For instance, this upward Drilling Fist move was visually similar to the uppercuts seen in modern free fighting; yet, the core power delivery was different.

In modern fighting, even if the fist starts already on the opponent’s chin, the fighter has to retract the fist first, rotate the forearm downward to create some distance, and then power up from the ground and twist the waist to strike.

This is because delivering Ming Jin requires space to generate enough kinetic energy.

However, Drilling Fist in Xingyi primarily uses Dark Force for power, allowing Muscle Bone Power to flow within the body without needing space. Once in contact with the opponent, power can be delivered directly.

Wu Li shifted his weight downward and then suddenly upwards, and in that rising and falling motion, he threw a Drilling Fist with incredible speed, using his right elbow to channel the Drilling Fist Force, pushing upward with force.

Wang Xiaobo had no time to react, or to put it another way, he could react, but he did not have sufficient space to power up and change his position.

Modern free-fighting experts who use Ming Jin against Master Level Martial Artists like Wu Li must adhere to the principle of "strike long and hit far," maintaining at least an arm’s length of distance from Wu Li. Once they get too close, Ming Jin lacks the space to power up, while the Internal Fist style, which mainly uses Dark Force, can comfortably deliver power.

Unless they were grappling experts, getting too close to Wu Li now meant almost certain defeat.

Sadly, Wang Xiaobo was not skilled in grappling.

Crack! Wang Xiaobo’s left arm was also lifted, and his entire body suddenly lost balance, leaning backward.

Wang Xiaobo, weighing over 160 pounds, was lifted by Wu Li’s Drilling Fist Force as if he were a bundle of straw, almost off the ground. Such is the power of a Master Level Xingyi Fist!

Wang Xiaobo knew it was bad news, and he quickly retreated. However, Wu Li did not give him a chance. Facing his opponent with a wide-open guard, Wu Li took a small step forward, sinking his weight, and stretching his muscles and bones throughout his body; then he delivered a right fist, rising his center of gravity, contracting his muscles and bones, and in a rise and fall motion, he delivered a Beng Fist.

It was precisely the Half-step Beng Fist that Guo Yunshen used to be undefeated throughout the world!

Booom! Wang Xiaobo’s face changed dramatically, feeling as though a steel spike had been driven into his abdomen.

Bone and Muscle Strengthening had increased Wu Li’s Bone Power by a fair amount. Therefore, the penetrating force of his punches was now much stronger than before, as they say, "hitting into the flesh and aching in the bone."

Wang Xiaobo was knocked backwards by the Beng Fist, and with his ability to withstand pain, he could still fight on. However, Wu Li didn’t give him the chance, quickly leaping forward in Horse Form, coming to the side of Wang Xiaobo’s body, and then delivering a Piercing Kick to Wang Xiaobo’s temple.

Pop! Wang Xiaobo simply passed out.

One of the defining features of MMA competitions is ground fighting. However, in real combat, once someone is knocked down, that basically means they’ve lost ninety-nine percent of the fight, because when you’re down, it’s all too simple for the opponent: a knee strike coming down from the air, elbow strikes, or simply stepping on the knees or bare feet, each step ensures to break something. Or as Wu Li just did, a kick to the head.

Such moves are completely prohibited in MMA competitions, but when used in a real fight, the opponent would either be seriously injured or dead.

Wu Li’s final Piercing Kick was held back; otherwise, with his current leg strength, he really could send Wang Xiaobo off with a single kick.

There was silence all around. From Wu Li’s sudden burst of movement, the Tiger Form pouncing from four meters out, to getting close and knocking down Wang Xiaobo with a Splitting Fist and a Beng Fist, then finally kicking the opponent unconscious, the entire process took no more than three seconds. It happened too fast, so fast it was hard for people to react.

Had Wu Li’s own coaches been there, they would likely have said with great satisfaction, "See, it’s not that we’re useless, it’s just that Wu sir is too fierce. Dammit, he knocks out anyone in three seconds!"

"Good!"

After the silence, Chen Zhengyang, who was watching the fight, began to clap, "Well fought!"

"Take him to the infirmary."

"Wu Li, can you continue?"

Chen Zhengyang instructed people to take Wang Xiaobo to the infirmary, then turned to Wu Li, his gaze completely changed.

Wu Li nodded his head and then gestured to Liu Jun to come over with a beckoning finger, "Come."

Liu Jun was the former Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the national-scale fighting event "Jianghu Wind," which had been popular for a time. After "Jianghu Wind" was suspended, free fighting competitions failed to take off domestically, and Liu Jun’s fame gradually waned, with fewer people paying attention to him.

However, Liu Jun kept up his training over the years and maintained his strength well. Weighing at 90 kilograms, he should have had an absolute advantage over Wu Li, who was over 70 kilograms and two weight classes below him. Yet, having just witnessed Wu Li’s fight with Wang Xiaobo, Liu Jun became somewhat nervous.

He walked onto the stage with a solemn face and quickly approached Wu Li as soon as he entered the ring.

Wu Li’s sudden pounce from four meters away, at a stunning speed, had left a deep impression on everyone present. Liu Jun had never seen anyone with such quick acceleration and speed, except during a hundred-meter dash.
