I can gain insights into martial arts.

Just as Chen Mochuan was reviewing the battle that had just ended, a system notification from Tianwu Battle Network suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Li Biao has requested to add you as a friend]

[P.S.: Brother Chuan, add me!]

Chen Mochuan immediately approved the application.

Almost at the same time, Li Biao's voice call request popped up, and he answered it immediately.

"It's already past six o'clock. You can't stay in the virtual world forever; you'll get mentally exhausted." Li Biao's voice was full of concern. "Come on, let's go get a massage to relax."

Chen Mochuan, engrossed in the battle on the Tianwu Battle Network, was surprised to find that time had flown by and the entire afternoon had passed without him realizing it.

As he snapped out of his intense focus on martial arts training, he immediately felt a throbbing in his temples and a throbbing pain in his head. He realized that the adrenaline and dopamine released from his body due to his previous over-excitement had masked his fatigue, making it only now that he noticed it.

The continuous high-intensity qualifying matches do not consume much physical strength, but they are extremely damaging to mental strength.

He subconsciously called upon the golden light screen and discovered that even in the virtual world, the panel was still clearly displayed.

On the panel, his status had changed from "moderate fatigue" at noon to "high fatigue," and he hadn't noticed the warning because he was so focused on ranking up.

He replied "okay" and was about to exit the virtual world when he heard Li Biao shouting on the other end of the call.

"No way... Brother Chuan! You played 40 ranked games in one afternoon? Your points have already reached over 800! That's incredibly hard work!"

Li Biao had obviously checked his personal information, since he had not set his match history to be hidden from his friends.

"Yeah, I played ranked games all afternoon, nothing else."

陈墨川边说边扫了眼自己的战绩：【场次：40（胜27败13平0）、胜率：67.5%】。

又顺势查看了李彪的信息：【段位：青铜（198积分）、场次：214（胜130败98平1）、胜率：56.8 %、气血值：6.18】。

In Tianwu Battle Network, you can advance to the next rank by accumulating 1000 points and automatically receive 50 points for protection against rank demotion.

Li Biao's score is close to 200, which means he has established himself in the Bronze rank.

Compared to the 6.15 measured in the morning, Li Biao's Qi and Blood value increased by 0.03, a rise that was not much less than his own, which shows that his spiritual talent related to "eating" can also efficiently convert energy and strengthen his physical fitness.

"I get tired after playing a maximum of four ranked games an hour, and you're averaging at least eight games an hour. Don't you need to catch your breath in between? Doesn't playing so many ranked games take a toll on your mental energy?"

Li Biao knew that his best friend had excellent physical strength and seemed tireless during training, but he didn't expect that his mental endurance was also so extraordinary. You see, when you are injured in the Tianwu Battle Network, although your physical body will not be injured in sync with the injury, the real pain will put a lot of strain on your mind.

"The opponents I was matched with at the beginning were relatively weak, and I won quite a few matches without much effort, so it wasn't as mentally taxing as you think," Chen Mochuan explained. "But now I'm definitely at my limit, and I have a terrible headache."

After hearing Chen Mochuan's explanation, Li Biao was still skeptical, "Is that so...?"

"Alright, let's hurry up and get a massage, then have dinner. It's already past six, aren't you hungry?" Chen Mochuan interrupted Li Biao's thoughts and urged him.

So the two left the virtual world and got another free massage.

However, this time, the massage did not increase his blood and qi. Chen Mochuan still felt very tired, and the status on the panel remained stubbornly at "high fatigue".

He understood that today's training had to end here. Both his fist techniques and stance training had to be paused, and his body desperately needed rest, otherwise he would easily get injured.

During dinner, Chen Mochuan noticed that Li Biao was in low spirits and asked with concern, "Why do you look so unhappy?"

His worries were stirred up, and Li Biao suddenly lost his appetite. He gritted his teeth and said, "In today's last ranking match, I ran into a bastard! After a few moves, he realized he was no match for me, so he started running around the arena to avoid fighting..."

"That guy was incredibly slippery; I couldn't catch him at all. He dragged the game out for a full twenty minutes, and in the end, the match was declared a tie on the online platform!"

Within the Tianwu Battle Network, the two lowest ranks, Iron and Bronze, have a 20-minute time limit for matches. If no winner is determined within the time limit, the match is considered a draw, and neither side loses points.

Li Biao grew angrier as he spoke, "I've played over 500 ranked games, and this is the first time I've encountered such a shameless jerk, a complete rank-obsessed player! If I ever get matched with him again, I'll break his legs and see how he runs away then!"

Chen Mochuan asked, "Did he choose to remain anonymous?"

"Yes!" Li Biao nodded. "I limited the matching scope; he's also from Antu City. If it weren't anonymous, I would definitely have met him in person! This anonymity feature is disgusting!"

Chen Mochuan chuckled and joked, "The anonymity feature is set up precisely to prevent 'hot-blooded' individuals like you from getting away with it."

Li Biao curled his lip: "This guy has played over 200 matches in total, with nearly 30 draws! I'm probably not the only one who wants to admit it."

Chen Mochuan was stunned upon hearing this. He had never seen such a bizarre result online, with a draw rate exceeding 10%. "This guy definitely needs to be taught a lesson."

"But I feel that what you're most angry about is that you couldn't catch up with him... Why don't you practice your movement techniques? Otherwise, even if you encounter him again, you might not be able to catch up."

Thinking of that person's speed, Li Biao sighed, "Well, we'll see."

When Chen Mochuan got home in the evening, he lay on the bed to rest and took stock of what he had accomplished that day.

Although he spent the afternoon immersed in the virtual world and did not directly increase his Qi and Blood value, the Peiyuan Fist and Tiger Fiend Fist were thoroughly honed in continuous battles, and he digested a lot of the martial arts insights in his mind. His proficiency increased by 4% and 9% respectively, reaching the [Great Completion (18%)] and [Entry-level (31%)].

After personally experiencing Tianwu Battle Network, Chen Mochuan deeply appreciated the immense help that virtual reality technology provides to martial arts cultivation.

Since the advent of this technology and its application in simulated combat, the development speed of martial arts on Earth has far exceeded that of the past.

Furthermore, "Tianwu Battle Network" has raised the realism of battles to an astonishing 99%, greatly promoting the progress of Chinese martial arts.

In real-life sparring, martial arts practitioners often hesitate to go all out for fear of injury.

However, in the Tianwu Battle Network, they can exert their full strength, and even if they are "injured" or "dead," it will not affect their physical body in reality; at most, they will only experience mental exhaustion.

At the same time, Tianwu Battle Network provides combat opportunities that far exceed those in reality, allowing martial arts practitioners to accumulate a wealth of practical combat experience.

Although virtual combat still differs significantly from real life-or-death battles, it can still maximize the improvement of martial arts practitioners' combat skills and play a crucial role in accelerating the overall development of martial arts.

Due to the enormous threat posed by ferocious beasts, the humans of Blue Star have formed a community of shared destiny. In order to promote the overall development of martial arts on Blue Star, China has open-sourced the relevant technologies of the Tianwu Battle Network.

As a result, many countries followed China's example and created their own virtual battle platforms.

From then on, martial arts worldwide entered a new era of rapid advancement.

With his mind preoccupied with the Tianwu Battle Network, Chen Mochuan, exhausted, soon fell into a deep sleep.
