Chapter 68 - 66: The Present is Different from the Past
Fiery Flame enhanced the explosive power of his limbs. Wu Li was currently focusing on training his right foot with the Piercing Kick, and even though he hadn’t reached Master Level, the explosive power in his right foot had already started to surpass that of his left.
Wu Li had never been exposed to Hidden Weapons, so he was clueless about how to go about training Dynamic Vision offered by Eagle Eye. Consequently, he ultimately chose Eagle Eye.
After exchanging his rewards, Wu Li immediately sensed a change in his eyes, it seemed as if everything in his vision had become a bit clearer.
A 10% enhancement might not seem like much, but in the world of martial arts, often fights are decided by reactions times of mere fractions of a second. Being half a second slower in throwing a punch or dodging could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
An increase of 10% in Dynamic Vision, even if it just gave Wu Li a fraction of a second more in reaction time, was a significant help.
In his personal information, Wu Li’s Passive skills now included Eagle Eye, and Iron Man had become Endurance Muscle. After conducting a self-test, he found his Neural Response had increased from 135 to 143, and his Overall Score had improved from B- (78%) to B (82%).
From the system’s evaluation, it was evident that the upgrades to Eagle Eye and Iron Man had a considerable positive impact on Wu Li’s performance in the ring.
Looking at his Fan Value of over two million, Wu Li knew that to elevate his Xingyi Fist from proficient to Master Level, he would need two million Fan Value. This meant that he could immediately complete the first step of the Master’s Path, the Master’s Reality.
However, glancing at the 18 Master Level Experience Cards, Wu Li hesitated. In his fight with Ren Donglai, he had used a Master Level Experience Card, and even though it lasted only ten minutes, it benefited him immensely.
Through the Experience Card, Wu Li had realized that the Master Level realm of Xingyi Fist involved mastery over Power. The Wave Flipping Power and the corresponding powers of the Five Elements Fist: drilling, chopping, crashing, crossing, and cannon-punching, could be executed by a Master Level of Xingyi Fist effortlessly in any movement.
While modern martial arts primarily employ muscles from all over the body, Internal Fist also involves Muscle Bone Power and the breathing of the internal organs, in addition to Muscle Burst. All these combined to generate Power, which is often stronger than using muscles alone. Hence, many National Martial Arts masters from the period of the Republic, who didn’t appear very tall or muscular, were capable of unleashing astonishing strength.
