Chapter 92 - 90 Master’s Name, Extremely Difficult Task
Wu Li, although capable of delivering punches weighing four times his own body weight, could only do so after properly adjusting his stance, an opportunity that clearly wasn’t available in the ring. Even a delay of 0.5 seconds in a punch could mean missing the opponent entirely, let alone taking a few seconds to adjust one’s posture—it was almost like becoming a punching bag for others.
Unless there was a significant disparity in strength between the two fighters, then perhaps such heavy punches could be viable. However, when the skill levels were too mismatched, the use of heavy punches didn’t really matter anymore—any type of strike would suffice.
This was similar to a basketball player who, during off-court practice, could achieve a 90% success rate in three-point shots. Yet, during an actual game, when he had to catch the ball in motion and shoot while facing defensive interference, his success rate could drastically drop to less than 20%, and he even risked having his shots blocked due to slow execution.
For Wu Li, reaching the Master Level Realm was akin to a basketball player who could quickly shoot three-pointers during a game while maintaining an extremely high accuracy rate, even under defensive pressure.
After organizing the introductory and advanced courses of Xingyi Fist, Wu Li had deepened his understanding of various Xingyi Fist schools. He could be said to have mastered the Master Level of Xingyi Fist, only a step away from the Master Level.
Using the Master Level Experience Card, various techniques of using Xingyi Fist’s power naturally emerged in Wu Li’s mind, and his body would naturally possess control over all his muscles and bones. However, these were capabilities granted by the system, and Wu Li had not yet fully mastered them.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. The realm of martial arts doesn’t come from a sudden burst of cosmic energy or an epiphany leading to a surge in power; even understanding the power and knowing how to strike still required time for practice, allowing the body to develop muscle memory and master the usage of power.
Therefore, breakthrough was a process, not an instantaneous event.
Wu Li had grasped the general usage of power, but mastering the finer aspects of control and variations still required gradual exploration. Only when he had mastered all details and could skillfully manipulate the power would he truly break through to the Master Level.
