Chapter 59: Iron Man
On the evening of December 17, Wu Li defeated Yang Fan and successfully advanced to the top 8 of the lightweight division.
Bang! In the room, Li Jun threw the teacup out in anger.
"Rubbish!" Li Jun scolded angrily as he looked at Yang Fan, who had fallen to the ground on the TV screen and couldn't get up.
If everything goes well, Yang Fan can win against Wu Li tonight, not only can Star Entertainment have one more popular Internet celebrity, but Li Jun can also kick Wu Li away, after all, a person who can't even enter the top 8, what qualifications does he have to continue to be Liu Yuanbo's master?
Even if it is executed according to the contract, Wu Li, who loses, will lose popularity, and it will be difficult for the boxing gym to improve, and when the time comes, Liu Yuanbo will obediently go back to inherit the family industry, and the boxing gym will be his own.
It's a pity that Yang Fan lost, Li Jun's wishful thinking also failed, and Lin Dongsen was disappointed with him, and it is estimated that he was also scolding his mother at this time.
Li Jun picked up his mobile phone, found Chang Zhiyang's number, thought about it, called, and the call was quickly connected.
"Hey, Mr. Chang, I'm Li Jun. ”
"Mr. Li, hello, is there something wrong?"
"Mr. Chang, the competition was held very successfully, congratulations. ”
"Haha, thank you, thank you, or thank you Mr. Li for your strong support. ”
"Mr. Chang is polite, that's the case, Mr. Chang still remembers the thing I mentioned to you about Wu Li last time?"
"Remember, speaking of which, this Wu Li is really powerful, I met so many masters, and I still made it to the top 8 step by step, I didn't expect it. ”
Li Jun sneered when he heard this, scolded the old fox secretly, and then said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Chang, don't hide it, I hope that Wu Li will stop in the top 8 next, I don't know if I can ...... it."
"Mr. Li. Chang Zhiyang interrupted Li Jun's words, "You have also seen Wu Li's strength, now except for Han Yuanfei and Lu Ping, no one else is sure of winning against him, but if I let Wu Li and these two meet in the quarterfinals, it will be a waste, and I hope Mr. Li understands." ”
Li Jun was silent, he understood what Chang Zhiyang meant, most of the reason why the Extreme Martial Arts Conference can attract so much attention now is because of Wu Li, if Wu Li can go all the way to the finals, and then meet Han Yuanfei or Lu Ping, it will be a huge gimmick, Chang Zhiyang is definitely not willing to let Wu Li and Han Yuanfei or Lu Ping meet in advance.
Knowing that there was probably no hope of preventing Wu Li from reaching the semifinals, Li Jun quickly adjusted his mentality: "Mr. Chang, I'll give you a secret, no matter what, I can't let Wu Li win the championship!"
"But I can't control the performance of the players on the field, Mr. Li. ”
"Then let him touch Lu Ping in the semifinals, and let him touch Han Yuanfei in the finals. ”
"Isn't that too deliberate?"
"Mr. Chang, you have to help me with this no matter what, we still have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future, brother, I ask you!" Li Jun said earnestly.
On the other end of the phone, Chang Zhiyang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, since Mr. Li has said so, I will definitely help with this favor!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chang!"
Li Jun hung up the phone, his face still ugly.
Even if Wu Li didn't win the championship in the end, his performance in this competition was bright enough, and the fame of the boxing gym would be started by him, and Liu Yuanbo would definitely not give up the boxing gym, which made Li Jun feel a little irritable, a college student, who has practiced boxing for several years, didn't expect it to be so difficult.
On December 18, at 8 p.m., Wu Li still played the finale in the lightweight 8-in-4 match of the Extreme Martial Arts Conference, and he knocked out his opponent in the second game that night and successfully advanced to the semifinals.
No. 1 seed Han Yuanfei successfully advanced, but No. 2 seed Lu Ping had an accident, although he also successfully defeated his opponent, but his left thumb was fractured, and he could not participate in the next match, so he had to retire due to injury.
On December 19, Lu Ping's opponent in the quarterfinals automatically filled his gap with Han Yuanfei, while Wu Li faced the last seed in the lightweight division, Zhu Qianyuan.
Zhu Qianyuan's comprehensive rating is C+ (94%), which is stronger than Quan Zhi, but weaker than Yang Fan, and his performance on the court is actually not much different, but due to the high-intensity games for several days, his state in the semifinals is very bad.
From the group stage, one game a day, until the semi-finals, even if it is a four-man group, you have to play five games.
Each fight seems to last only ten minutes, but in fact, it is very intense, and even if you don't suffer serious injuries, skin trauma and muscle soreness are unavoidable.
Combat athletes have high income and high consumption, one of which is to ask a special masseur to massage them, and for several days of high-intensity competition, even if there is a masseuse, the fatigue of the athlete's muscles is accumulating.
In addition, continuous competitions are also a great test of the athlete's physical fitness, even if you punch quickly into the air, you will feel tired if you can't punch a few punches, let alone fight on the field.
In ancient times, when recruits went to the battlefield, even if they didn't get a knife, they would be so tired that they would be paralyzed on the ground after the battle, and they couldn't lift up a trace of strength, because the spirit was highly concentrated, and a lot of physical strength would be consumed when they were tense at all times; when the fighters were on the field, their state was actually similar to that of the soldiers on the battlefield, and the spirit was highly concentrated and tense at all times, so in just a few minutes, the physical consumption would be great.
After the previous five games, by the time of the semifinals, Zhu Qianyuan's physical fitness had only recovered to half of his usual level, and his physical and mental state were not good, while his opponent Wu Li maintained his condition very well, and he did not show any fatigue.
So Zhu Qianyuan only lasted one game, and was knocked out by Wu Li shortly after the second game began.
The reason why Wu Li has been able to fight so well so far is that in addition to his super ability to resist hits, another rare skill 'Iron Man' has contributed greatly.
The Iron Man's skill description is: reduce physical exertion in the ring by 10%.
It is a 10% reduction, not a direct increase in Wu Li's physical fitness by 10%.
It's like someone gave Wu a voucher of 1 million yuan and asked him to spend, and then gave him two options: first, another 100,000 voucher, and second, a card with a 9% discount for all consumption.
So what should Wu Li choose? This is actually a very simple math problem.
Choosing the first item will result in 1.1 million items, while choosing the second item will result in the purchase of about 1.111 million items, which is obviously more cost-effective than the first item.
Iron Man is similar to such a 9% off consumption card, which can allow Wu Li to save more physical strength on the field, and with the increase of Wu Li's own physical strength and the number of games, this benefit will become bigger and bigger, and it will gradually widen the gap between him and the rest.
Although a game is divided into three rounds, the distribution of physical fitness is not even, many times the first game may consume 50% of the physical strength, the second game 30%, and the last game will be left 20%;
When Wu Li was in the ring, he found that the rhythm and frequency of his breathing were unconsciously changing, this is the passive effect brought by the iron man, this is a set of effective breathing methods, Wu Li intends to slowly summarize it, and he can strengthen his own practice in the future, or he can teach it to others, which is also an important reason why he chose the iron man in the first place.
Now, with the iron man, Wu Li has advanced to the finals with a relatively intact attitude.
(This chapter explains why you want to choose Iron Man before, I see that many friends are saying that you should choose the other two skills; I want to say, ordinary people make choices, of course, the protagonist is ~ Eagle Eye and Blaze or something, there will be later, but Blaze strengthens the fifth limb, this is really not ...... )
