Chapter 179: Chapter 138: A Hundred Battles, A Hundred Victories

Ji Xinghuo observed his opponent and opened their profile.

Martial Arts Sixth Dan, around 7500 points, more than 57000 total matches, with a win rate of 53%, neither the points nor the win rate met the standard, still some distance from the Seventh Dan.

But he didn’t take it lightly.

A martial artist with tens of thousands of battles under their belt had rich experience; even a pig, after nearly sixty thousand matches, wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

Moreover, the opponent’s weapon was a long spear.

Ji Xinghuo switched his weapon to a longsword, and as soon as the countdown finished, he immediately took the initiative to attack.

He moved swiftly forward in a step, the longsword aiming straight for the opponent’s middle, his body swaying left and right with feints as he rapidly closed in, hoping to disrupt the opponent’s balance. However, the opponent didn’t fall for any of the feints. It was as if they hadn’t seen them at all, and the long spear made a direct thrust.

"Damn."

Ji Xinghuo cursed inwardly.

Seeing the speed of the opponent’s thrust, he realized that the opponent hadn’t seen through his feints, but rather had reacted too slowly, not having registered them even after Ji Xinghuo had finished his maneuver.

It was like performing for the blind; no matter how spectacular, it was useless.

"I still overestimated the strength of the Virtual Platform players." Realizing this, Ji Xinghuo executed a Flash Step to dodge the spear tip and appeared beside the opponent, a sword to the throat swiftly ending the fight.

The opponent chose to challenge again.

Generally speaking, winners would accept a rematch, giving the loser a second chance; it had become an unwritten rule.

Ji Xinghuo agreed to a rematch and saw the player across the screen was indignant.

"Not convinced?"

Ji Xinghuo smiled.

After the fight began, he used the same tactic to take the offensive, then used a Flash Step to the side. This time the opponent was prepared, retreating to widen the gap while sweeping the long spear. But they were too slow. Their spear hadn’t even reached Ji Xinghuo when his sword tip had already passed across their throat.

Points +1

Ji Xinghuo didn’t give the opponent a chance to communicate, leaving the arena and immediately continuing to queue for matches.

The Martial Arts Platform system always prioritized similarly ranked opponents, and Ji Xinghuo faced several consecutive Martial Artists of the Sixth Dan.

This rank was already quite high, akin to an unattainable dream for ordinary people; however, Ji Xinghuo felt no pressure at all. It was no different from facing matched opponents; no one posed a threat to him, and each match was over in a matter of seconds.

In each match, the winner gained +1 point, while the loser lost 1 point.

After achieving five consecutive victories, each win earned the victor +2 points. If the streak was interrupted, they would have to accumulate from the beginning, gaining only one point per win.

After ten consecutive victories, the winner’s points increased by +3.

Conversely, five consecutive losses or ten would deduct -2 and -3 points, respectively.

Ji Xinghuo quickly racked up ten consecutive wins, earning +3 points per victory, which made for very efficient point gain. He was overjoyed and continued to play until dawn.

By eight o’clock the next morning, Ji Xinghuo’s points had already exceeded 8000.

His win rate was an astonishing 100%!

The Martial Arts Platform could demarcate between Seventh Dan to Ninth Dan; these three dan levels required over ten thousand points each, but the standard for win rate varied. A win rate above 55% for Seventh Dan, 65% for Eighth Dan, and 75% for Ninth Dan, posed a great difficulty.

Ji Xinghuo had a 100% win rate but his points were insufficient.

"Earning more than a thousand points in one night, after four or five days of playing, my points should be over ten thousand." Looking at his character profile, he found the feeling truly exhilarating.

By then, he should be able to skip ranks, going directly from Sixth Dan to Ninth Dan.

After winning over a hundred consecutive matches, Ji Xinghuo noticed his opponents getting stronger, with more and more Seventh and even Eighth Dan appearing.

It also wasn’t as quick to get a match, often having to wait for a few minutes.

This slowed down his point accumulation.

When waiting for a Ninth Dan opponent, it would be even slower.

After all, the Ninth Dan in Martial Arts was an exceptionally high rank; worldwide, there were probably only thirty to forty thousand people at this level, and the number available online for rankings at any given time was even fewer, making them not easy to come across.

Ji Xinghuo exited the Virtual Platform, sat up from the Virtual Cabin, and actually felt a bit reluctant.

Constant winning and point climbing could indeed become addictive.

"No wonder virtual games make so many people obsessed..." He shook his head, getting up and out of the Virtual Cabin with great willpower.

After a simple breakfast and getting dressed, Ji Xinghuo carried a gym bag to a training facility not far from home.

He now required a barbell weighing three tons for his training, along with higher demands on other equipment and generating a lot of noise; his home training room was no longer sufficient, so he needed to go to a specialized training facility.

This training facility wasn’t large but provided advanced Cultivation Rooms for the use of Super Mutants.

They charged by the hour, and the rates were steep.

Ji Xinghuo was very satisfied after looking around; the space was spacious, the equipment complete, and he appreciated the privacy of the individual rooms, where he wouldn’t be disturbed. Most importantly, it was close to home, just a few minutes’ walk, so he booked a month immediately for a total of a hundred thousand Ya Yuan, which was a discount rate.

After closing the door, Ji Xinghuo had Qing Hong practice Gravity Mutation in an adjacent room and began his cultivation.

From morning until night, he completed four training cycles.

Star Power increased a bit!

[Star Power: 658/658]

Since becoming an Advanced Mutant, Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power hadn’t increased much; first, because the advancement time was short, and second, because he hadn’t fused with a new Alien Species.

But he was not in a hurry.

After cleaning up and dining, Ji Xinghuo returned home and lay back in the Virtual Cabin.

Having fought over a hundred matches on the Martial Arts Platform, his points increased by more than three hundred, and it was well past midnight when he finally felt a bit of fatigue.

After more than two days back on Earth, Ji Xinghuo went to bed to sleep for the first time, still keeping his routine in sync with the Star Realm.
