CHAPTER 574: CHAPTER 538 LEGENDARY EXPERIENCE CARD

When Wu Li walked back to the Martial Arts Hall, it was already surrounded by police.

A group of people were shocked when they saw Wu Li, and then seemed relieved, which made Wu Li feel a bit amused.

In truth, Japan wasn’t actually that concerned about Wu Li. It was just that the timing was too sensitive. Should anything have happened to Wu Li, Japan would have been the prime suspect, making it look as if they had resorted to dirty tricks because they couldn’t defeat Wu Li openly. Their reputation would have been completely ruined, in addition to inviting a host of troubles.

So, once they had confirmed Wu Li was fine, they asked a few routine questions. Wu Li casually dismissed them, and that was that.

"Master Wu, what happened?"

Upon returning to the Martial Arts Hall, a crowd came up to inquire about Wu Li’s situation.

These past two days, the Chinese community leaders and experts had all been arriving at the Martial Arts Hall early, not leaving until midnight, just to witness Wu Li’s feat. Thus, everyone was still there.

"It was Paul—he had someone lure me out and then he sniped at me in the street," Wu Li candidly told them.

"Paul? Which Paul?"

"Could it be that ’Gun God’?"

Wu Li nodded, "Yes, him."

"Sss—" Some people gasped. The name of the Gun God, Paul, was indeed well known!

"Has Paul left?" someone asked.

It was said that Paul never missed his mark, yet today he had failed against you, Master Wu."

"Haha, today Master Wu has indeed avenged us, the martial arts practitioners!"

"It serves him right!"

...

The crowd chattered excitedly, all of them visibly thrilled.

"Paul is dead," said Wu Li, his tone flat, silencing the crowd abruptly.

"..."

Nobody thought Wu Li was boasting or lying, so Paul was truly dead, leaving the crowd somewhat unable to accept it.

"Master Wu, please accept my respects!" One elder suddenly bent down to bow to Wu Li.

"Master Zhang, what are you doing?" Wu Li hurried to support him.

The man was the vice leader of the Huaqing Gang, and his sudden deep show of respect surprised Wu Li.

"Master Wu," Yang Yu, who was standing nearby, also suddenly bowed to Wu Li, "Paul had once made assassination attempts on our Huaqing Gang members. By killing Paul today, Wu Li, you have avenged our fallen brothers."

As his words ended, another person bowed to Wu Li.

"Indeed, on behalf of the deceased elders of the Fuhai Association, I salute you, Master Wu!"

"From the Green Gang, a salute to Master Wu!"

"From Hongmen Zhiyun Hall, a salute to Master Wu!"

"..."

At that moment, nearly half of those present bowed to Wu Li, all belonging to organizations that had lost members to Paul’s bullets.

Wu Li solemnly greeted everyone with a fist and bow, "Please, rise."

Once everyone had risen, someone sighed, "With tonight’s news spreading, who knows how many people will lose sleep. The Japanese probably won’t dare to challenge Master Wu again."

...

After everyone had left, Wu Li returned to his room and finally had time to check his new system messages:

[Underworld individual combat reputation value exceeds ten thousand, rewards five Master Stars]

[All three reputation values exceed ten thousand, custom task completed, special reward obtained: Legendary Experience Card X1, and the Legendary Experience Card redemption feature is now unlocked]

[Legendary Experience Card: grants a ten-minute experience of the Legendary Realm]

A Legendary Experience Card!

The sight of this reward invigorated Wu Li.

He was now infinitely close to the peak of the Grandmaster, with what lay above that—the Legendary Realm—but he had no clear idea on how to break through, so the timing of this Legendary Experience Card was perfect!

Without hesitation, Wu Li chose to use it.

In the next second, an unprecedented feeling arose:

First was his mental state—outside in the courtyard, the chirping of insects, the sound of the breeze ruffling the grass, even the trajectory of falling leaves...he had everything under control!

He had felt this unity with heaven and earth before, but it was never lasting.

Evidently, upon reaching Legendary Realm or what’s called the Mixed Element, he might be able to maintain this perfect Unity of Heaven and Man indefinitely!

Next was control over his body, and the third stage of Power value known as Divine. It was as if he could practice introspection, the five viscera and six bowels, the full anatomy of his muscles and bones, and all sensitive spots where nerve centers meet, acupoints...all of these Wu Li was able to sense clearly.

Wu Li, at that moment, was like his own deity, surveying his whole body from an elevated perspective, not only with clear sensation but also with meticulous control.

At a thought, his muscles bulged, sinews stretched, and he executed the Heavenly Tilt.

Originally, Heavenly Tilt was an Ultimate Move created from a combination of Golden Bell Shield and Eight Locks Life Gate’s stimulation of vital energy. Although powerful, it wasn’t lasting. But now, under Wu Li’s meticulous control, the stretching of every sinew and the stimulation of vital energy were nearly at their most efficient, greatly reducing the burden on his body, and significantly extending the duration of Heavenly Tilt!

Finally, there was his physical fitness. Compared to before, Wu Li’s speed, strength, Endurance, et cetera hadn’t increased much. What had truly grown stronger was his body’s capacity for endurance: to maintain perfect Unity of Heaven and Man, to sustain the use of Heavenly Tilt indefinitely. Wasn’t such a body already transcendent?

For the full ten minutes, Wu Li was immersed in the enlightenment of the Legendary Realm, and when the time expired, even with his current determination, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.

He opened the exchange list to check the price of the Legendary Experience Card and was astonished to find it priced at one hundred million Fan Value per card!

"That’s just too much..."

Wu Li was at a loss for words. He hadn’t streamed much recently and had just over a million Fan Value left, far from the hundred million needed.

He couldn’t think about exchanging for a second card anytime soon, so Wu Li began to ponder what to exchange with the newly obtained Master Stars.

He decided to exchange for a defensive-oriented Ultimate Skill. Although Void was also a defensive Ultimate Skill, it was mainly a preventative measure, and Wu Li needed a direct defensive move.

After searching the exchange list for a while, he finally settled on one—Purple Golden Body.

It was an Ultimate Skill created from Wudang Taihe Fist, based on the same principles as Golden Bell Shield.

Indeed, the famed Dragon Roar Iron Cloth and Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield originated from Wudang Taihe Fist, while Purple Golden Body was a further enhancement based on the foundation of the two Hard Energy Skills. With Grandmaster Level Golden Bell Shield proficiency, Purple Golden Body was the perfect Ultimate Skill for Wu Li to learn.

Exchanging the five Master Stars for Purple Golden Body, Wu Li familiarized himself with this Ultimate Skill inside his room.

The night passed without incident.

On the following day, Wu Li’s third day in Tokyo.

Everyone was waiting for the final response of the Island Country Martial Arts World, but as the day went by, not a single person from the Island Country Martial Arts World showed up.

Meanwhile, the news of the death of Gun God Paul at the hands of Wu Li also spread.

Single-handedly defeating Gun God Paul, dominating a nation on his own—these two events happening concurrently compelled even those who were reluctant to acknowledge Wu Li to admit:

He was the World’s No.1, without any doubt!
