Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 328 Martial arts demonstrations are merely embellishments; killing is the true path of martial arts.

hum!
Chen Jie braced himself with his arms and got up from the ground.

His mind was reeling.

All that could be seen was the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind, its light flashing.

Martial Arts Merit Points: +20

Martial Arts Merit Points: +20

-

Martial Arts Merit Points: +10

Before the exhibition match even started, his [Martial Arts Merit Points] had already surged by more than 3000 points.

After the boxing match started, I never expected that my [Martial Arts Merit Points] would increase by more than 10,000!

Especially the moment he was kicked away by Wang Bo, he experienced a surge in popularity!
It is clear,
As his popularity increases, the speed at which he gains [Martial Arts Merit Points] also increases proportionally.

in fact,

The fact that he took Wang Bo's kick head-on and was then sent flying four meters away is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

This backwards shot not only required accurate prediction of Wang Bo's attack direction.

Simultaneously,

Furthermore, one must achieve a level of 'meticulous' control over power.

Furthermore, the final backward flight of his body, aided by Wang Bo's leg momentum, required a counter-force of internal energy.

Ordinary professional boxers simply cannot do this.

Even the top Sanda champions in China would find it difficult to be sent flying that far.

"Let's see how many [Martial Arts Merit Points] we can get today!"

Chen Jie took a deep breath, his heart filled with anticipation.

During this period, he tried many methods to obtain [Martial Arts Merit Points].

unfortunately,

Aside from dueling with others, it hasn't had any good results.

Although practicing martial arts and engaging in sparring are now much more efficient at gaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] compared to the past.

but,

Compared to Chen Jie's current rate of consuming [Martial Arts Merit Points], the difference is too great.

Even just moving a small amount of supplies over there now requires a lot of [Martial Arts Merit Points]!
There's no way around it; with a large family and a big business, the expenses are naturally greater.

Although most of the supplies were moved there and Ximentang's arsenal began to replicate them, he doesn't need many [Martial Arts Merit Points] right now.

However, once the resonance of the [Martial Saint Sect] is activated, the [Martial Merit Points] he needs will surge again.

At his current rate of gaining Martial Arts Merit Points, it's simply not enough.

Faced with Wang Bo's charging kick, under the protection of Chen Jie's 'Guarding the Aperture' realm of spiritual refinement, every subtle change manifested in his mind.

His purpose in throwing a powerful swing was to make his open defense appear more real.

Then,

One punch corrected the direction of Wang Bo's kick.

Most importantly, at the moment the opponent's kick hits him, he not only cannot deflect the force, but must also create a counterforce.

Simultaneously,

His body had to react to the hidden force beneath his feet and explode instantly to send him flying backwards into the air.

It not only requires extremely high skill, but also the use of 'hidden force counter-vibration'!
Unexpectedly, after his body flew backward, the rate at which he gained [Martial Arts Merit Points] skyrocketed.

make persistent efforts!

To gain more Martial Arts Merit Points, you must perform even better.

The higher Iori Yagami's popularity, the more Martial Arts Merit Points you will receive.

Swish!
Chen Jie struck the classic pose of Iori Yagami again and said in Japanese:
"すぐ楽にしてやる! (Come on! I'll get rid of you right away!)"

this moment,
He put himself into the form of 'Iori Yagami'.

The incredibly realistic effect caused cheers and excitement throughout the live stream.

"Holy crap, who is this guy? His imitation is way too perfect!"

"This is the Yagami I've always imagined, he's so cool!"

"Wang Bo's kick just now was really powerful; it actually sent 'Yagami' flying."

"Yagami's ability to withstand blows is also terrifyingly strong. He can withstand a kick and be completely unharmed."

"What a load of rubbish! It's all just a performance, a bunch of tricks. If they really had that kind of skill, they would have been playing professionally by now."

"Why don't you let those professional boxers demonstrate how to kick someone four meters away? Boxing matches are exhibition matches, but strength can't be faked."

"Just based on that kick Wang Bo just delivered, he's not just all show and no substance."

"—"

Wang Bo stood in the middle of the boxing ring and saw Chen Jie striking the 'Yagami' pose.

I just kicked the opponent away.

Although he didn't know what was going on, it gave him a sliver of confidence.

Bang, bang, bang—!
next moment,
Wang Bo showcased the various skills of martial arts routines to the fullest extent.

Every move is a perfect blend of offense and defense!
The most attractive aspect of kung fu routines is that the movements are expansive, precise, and aesthetically pleasing.

Especially when performing kung fu, his movements are fluid, graceful, and crisp.

at this time,

Wang Bo continued to attack Chen Jie.

hurricane!

Indeed, Wang Bo's attacks were getting faster and faster, and he was getting more and more comfortable with each game.

Every attack he made seemed to elicit a response from Chen Jie, striking Chen Jie's body with exquisite precision.

This feeling is very amazing.

In the eyes of the viewers in the live broadcast room, Wang Bo had the upper hand.

His attacks are a visual feast; every move seems to unleash tremendous power.

of course,

During the fierce battle, Chen Jie also launched a counterattack.

His counterattacks were equally fierce; every punch and every kick seemed to contain terrifying explosive power.

but,

Wang Bo's every attack was a masterful evasion of Chen Jie's counterattacks.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, but Wang Bo gained the upper hand every time.

Every punch and kick from him that landed on Chen Jie had an explosive force that was very noticeable.

For example, he threw a powerful swing punch that landed directly on Chen Jie's arm as he was blocking his head.

Then Chen Jie fell to the ground like a wooden stake.

It looks like,
Wang Bo's attack speed is getting faster and faster, forming a stark contrast with Chen Jie's slow pace!
In the live stream room,
Iori Yagami's movements were swift, fluid, and agile.

But under Wang Bo's punches, he couldn't gain any advantage whatsoever.

It seems that 'Iori Yagami' has become Wang Bo's punching bag, and a moving punching bag at that.

Wang Bo could easily neutralize any counterattack from 'Yagami'.

For a full minute and a half, Wang Bo got into the rhythm.

He even developed the illusion that he was a true master.

Iori Yagami's speed is so fast that it's dazzling.

However, as long as you kick out, you can easily neutralize the opponent's speed and keep them busy.

This feeling of being in control was simply amazing! An unprecedented thrill sent Wang Bo's adrenaline soaring.

The key is,
Yagami's powerful counterattack looked incredibly fierce, but when it hit him, he felt no damage at all.

How can I not get an adrenaline rush?
Chen Jie has been giving him pointers the whole time!
It's not just about feeding the opponent moves; you also need to be able to retract your power at any time, counterattack with the fiercest moves, but without causing any damage to the opponent.

Simultaneously,

When you are taking a heavy blow from your opponent, you must amplify the effect of that blow.

Wang Bo had a great time, but Chen Jie was exhausted.

This kind of exhibition match is much more tiring than his participation in underground boxing matches.

Wang Bo suddenly realized that something was wrong.

what happened?

He beat the other person up for more than a minute, and even kicked him away several times.

Every blow was a real strike, there were no feints.

Yagami was sent flying backwards several times, crashing into the ropes of the boxing ring before bouncing off and falling heavily to the ground.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been seriously injured long ago.

but,

'Yagami' was not injured at all!
This is impossible!
"Taka様の死をもってなぁ! (Then let's end it with your death!)"

Chen Jie struck the classic pose of 'Iori Yagami' once again.

So lifelike, it's indistinguishable from the real thing!
"what--!"

Wang Bo shouted a shout to cheer himself up.

His attacks became increasingly rapid, one move after another, with fluid and graceful movements.

have to say,

Although Wang Bo has not systematically trained in combat sports.

but,

He was, after all, a trained fighter with excellent stamina.

He had just launched a series of attacks for over a minute and still had plenty of energy.

Martial Arts Merit Points: +5

Martial Arts Merit Points: +3

-

The 'Blood Dragon Jade' kept flashing in Chen Jie's mind.

this moment,
Chen Jie seemed to be fully immersed in playing the role of 'Iori Yagami'.

As its popularity grows.

but,

Chen Jie soon discovered that the efficiency of gaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] was beginning to decline.

It started at 20 pm and 10 pm, and now it's changed to 5 pm and 3 pm;
"It seems that the [Martial Arts Merit Points] gained from exhibition matches cannot become a mainstream method!"

"After all, this is just a demonstration, not actual combat!"

"Damn! I guess there's a limit to the 'Blood Dragon Jade.' Although you can get [Martial Arts Merit Points] from martial arts practice, you can't get [Extra Rewards]!"

For a while,
Chen Jie felt slightly disappointed.

He had originally planned to skip the arena battles and instead focus on live streaming to increase his popularity and earn a large amount of Martial Arts Merit Points!
Unexpectedly, hope was quickly dashed.

Martial arts demonstrations can only be an embellishment; they can never become the mainstream of "martial arts."

Traditional Chinese martial arts! The art of killing!

If it doesn't involve fighting in the ring, dueling, or killing, how can it be called a national martial art?

As I watch my [Martial Arts Merit Points] dwindle, the amount I gain continues to decrease.

Chen Jie immediately lost interest.

Performing martial arts in this kind of exhibition match is much more tiring than fighting in underground boxing matches.

If he could obtain a large amount of [Martial Arts Merit Points], Chen Jie would not be afraid of hard work.

However, since we can't obtain a large amount of [Martial Arts Merit Points] now, there's no point in continuing to practice martial arts.

However, three minutes have not yet elapsed, so we cannot give up halfway.

in fact,

Precisely controlling the opponent's offense and defense, and guiding their attacks and defenses, consumes a significant amount of mental energy.

This is also a way to hone one's "spiritual refinement."

boom--!
Chen Jie was kicked away by Wang Bo once again, and his whole body crashed hard into the ropes around the boxing ring.

Then,

He was thrown heavily to the ground by the recoil from the ropes.

hiss--!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Jie staggered to his feet.

He looked extremely exhausted and disheveled.

Although he could still maintain the perfect 'Iori Yagami' expression, anyone could tell that he had been badly beaten by Wang Bo.

After nearly two minutes of intense fighting.

Chen Jie's 'acting skills' have become increasingly refined, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from reality.

The fans in the live stream could hardly tell that 'Yagami' was performing martial arts.

Judging from his current state, he seems to have done his best.

This demonstrates that Wang Bo possesses strong practical combat skills.

At least every offensive move by Wang Bo unleashed a terrifying burst of power.

The goal is to lose to Wang Bo within three minutes of the live stream, and the process must be completely genuine, achieving a truly visceral and realistic feel.

This is a very severe test of 'acting skills'.

If Wang Bo were a skilled fighter, it might be even easier.

The difficulty lies in the fact that Wang Bo is merely a performer, tasked with highlighting the other party's "strength" during a live broadcast, which is undoubtedly challenging.

This isn't the first time Chen Jie has showcased his acting skills!

in fact,

When he was fighting in the underground European boxing tournament "The Hague Holy Grail", he showcased his acting skills many times as the "White-Haired Fighting Buddha".

to be frank,
Compared to the fierce battles in Europe's underground boxing scene, this kind of "martial arts demonstration" is actually more difficult and challenging.

If the force is not controlled properly, Wang Bo could easily get injured.

this moment,
Chen Jie believes that if he were to make a kung fu movie, he could definitely portray the intense, visceral combat as incredibly realistic!
of course,

Given his current status and position, investing in a film wouldn't be difficult for him.

But it was completely unnecessary, and he had no interest in it.

More importantly, he doesn't have that much time to play these games.

Perhaps in the future, after he achieves great success and lives a leisurely life, he will invest in making a kung fu movie that interests him.

unconsciously,

Two minutes and forty seconds have passed.

The exhibition match was broadcast live for three minutes, and it was almost over.

Chen Jie silently recited it in his mind.

At this moment, Wang Bo's attacks became increasingly fluid, and he even performed some difficult moves reminiscent of movies and TV dramas.

These moves are practically useless in actual combat; they look good but are ultimately ineffective.

However, when facing 'Iori Yagami', he was able to unleash astonishing destructive power.

Wang Bo became more and more excited as he fought, and he even had the illusion that he had a great talent for fighting!
