After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

Chapter 399: Chapter 275: Martial Arts Principles (2)

Dongdong was scolded into silence, muttering, "Then what should I do..."

Shangguan Li: "I told you, forget about your Turtle Fist, and open your mind to learning."

"Your adaptability to prosthetics is very strong, your foundational talent is excellent, this is your advantage."

"But you have no combat skills, only being reckless with Turtle Fist, that’s your disadvantage."

"I don’t have many ways to enhance your advantage, but I can compensate for your disadvantage."

She walked to the center of the field, hands behind her back, and said imposingly, "What I’m going to say next, I think you all have heard until your ears have become calloused."

"But I ask each of you to have patience and listen to these words once more, and don’t tire of hearing them a hundred times or a thousand times in the future. Because the day you truly understand and achieve these words is the day you become an excellent Martial Artist."

She surveyed the crowd, raised three fingers, and slowly said, "Martial Arts is not about fancy tricks, it boils down to three words - speed, precision, and ruthlessness."

"Speed represents the strength of physical attributes."

"The body is the foundation of all Martial Arts; speed is about movement, speed is about strength, speed is about reaction, only with speed can Martial Arts be utilized to its fullest potential."

"In ancient times, when extraordinary powers had yet to emerge, people had to put in a lot of sweat and tears to achieve speed."

"For example, phrases you are familiar with like ’stand for three years as entry,’ ’learn to fight, start with horse stance,’ encapsulate this idea."

"We Prosthetic Implanters are very fortunate; the emergence of extraordinary technology means we no longer need to spend time on basic training."

"With a casual upgrade, we can achieve the results of ancient Martial Artists’ years, even decades, of hard work."

"So, to be realistic, in this era, to become a powerful Martial Artist, first go earn money; money allows you to upgrade your body; without money, everything else is empty talk."

Shangguan Li walked to Dongdong’s side, pushed her to the center for demonstration, and continued speaking: "But speed alone is not enough." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Having a powerful body is fine for bullying weaker opponents, but if you encounter someone as strong or stronger, you’ll be at a disadvantage."

"This is when the remaining two words become crucial. Precision and ruthlessness are key to defeating the strong while being weak."

"Let’s start with precision; what does precision mean? As the name implies, it means to hit what you aim for, as precise as a scalpel in surgery."

After Shangguan Li spoke, she suddenly extended her two fingers, pointing at Dongdong’s waist and belly.

There lies a junction of the prosthetic’s circuit, and with Shangguan Li’s touch, the circuit was briefly affected, making Dongdong clutch her stomach and collapse to the ground.

Shangguan Li explained: "Whether ordinary people, ferocious beasts, or Extraordinary Beings, they all have weaknesses on their bodies."

"Even those who have undergone full body prosthetic replacement, their bodies have weak spots related to circuitry."

"Striking these weak spots can cause tenfold or hundredfold damage, yielding great results with little effort."

She commanded Dongdong: "Get up, and strike back."

Dongdong immediately climbed up and threw a punch.

Shangguan Li intercepted it casually, precisely grabbing the weak point at Dongdong’s elbow joint, rendering her unable to punch or withdraw, stuck in place.

Shangguan Li, gripping Dongdong, continued speaking to the group: "To exploit the opponent’s weaknesses, you must be precise, absolutely precise."

"Firstly, you must be able to accurately judge where the opponent’s weaknesses are."

"There are thousands of prosthetic models available on the market now, each with different circuitry etching and structures, then there are blood codes, and Mechanical Ferocious Beasts."

"Any enemy, I mean any, has their weak points, and your task is to precisely find them."

"But that’s not enough; not only do you need to find the weak points accurately, but you also need to strike them with precision, otherwise a miss by an inch is as good as a mile."

"This is the second word of Martial Arts, precision."

Shangguan Li released Dongdong and paced in front of the crowd, hands behind her back: "Finally, the third and most crucial word, ruthlessness."

"Note, ruthlessness here does not mean brute force, not becoming barbaric, shouting, and risking life recklessly."

"In Martial Arts, ruthlessness refers to keen experience and intuition."

"Martial Artists facing any enemy must first distinguish the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, use experienced judgment, and always keep themselves in an advantageous position—know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

She turned to look at Dongdong and asked, "What weapon do you typically use?"

Dongdong replied: "Baseball bat."

Clearly, laughter could be heard around them.

Dongdong glared at the Martial Artists: "What’s so funny? Is using a baseball bat funny?"

Shangguan Li looked somewhat disdainful: "Using batons, nunchucks is fine, or at worst using a spiked club is okay, but what’s the meaning of using a baseball bat?"

Dongdong: "I’ve used it since I was young, I like it."

Shangguan Li: "Alright, then do you know any other weapons?"

Dongdong: "No, I only know the baseball bat."

Shangguan Li: "Any interest in others?"

Dongdong: "No, I only like the baseball bat."

Shangguan Li no longer paid attention to Dongdong, turned around, and addressed the group: "I will continue with the topic—ruthlessness."

"Ruthlessness is being able to respond to changes with sharp experience and intuition, thereby always remaining in an advantageous position."

"To achieve this, one must not only integrate various martial techniques and philosophies but also master a hundred types of weapons."

"There is no perfect weapon in this world; each weapon has its strengths and weaknesses. Martial Artists should learn the techniques of every weapon as much as possible instead of sticking to just one."

After listening, Dongdong hastily said: "Let me make it clear, I won’t switch weapons. The baseball bat was given to me by the boss, I’ll only use it."
