Cyber Heroes

After finishing his training, Lu Xuanyu started jogging on the beach.

In order to provide accommodation for the relevant personnel of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference, Superman Enterprise rented out three hotels in close proximity, and even a beach was included in the closed area. Only contestants and staff can move freely in this area.

The competition ended in the morning. After completing the day's competition, Lu Xuanyu practiced jujitsu on his own, so he spent a lot of time. Now, the sun is setting in the west, leaving only a trace of blood-colored light on the western skyline.

Lu Xuanyu was wearing a warm sweatshirt with a hood.

Bermuda is located at 32 degrees north latitude, which is not a low latitude. It is summer now, and the climate is cooler before and after nightfall - of course, this is for Homo sapiens.

To Lu Xuanyu, this biting sea breeze was like a biting cold wind. When the sea breeze blows over your face, it will actually bring out a slight tingling sensation.

However, Lu Xuanyu quite liked this feeling.

There is an independent heat source in his body, which makes him feel warm. This coldness won't freeze him to death. At the same time, there are no pathogens on Earth that could make him sick.

This feeling only makes him feel energetic.

Jogging is a kind of "enjoyment" for Lu Xuanyu.

His current legs are prosthetic, so he doesn't need to exercise. His heart is a pump and his lungs have been modified. His current body does not need this kind of exercise and cannot gain from this kind of exercise.

However, only those who have lost their legs can know how wonderful it is to have two legs.

Lu Xuanyu likes jogging very much, and he likes running in the refreshing cold wind.

While running, he was also reflecting on the results of today's battle.

Lu Xuanyu is a martial artist.

In a sense, he is a "hobbyist". The martial arts he likes are not "all the extremes under specific rules". He prefers "breadth" to "depth".

Of course, this does not mean that he does not like "depth", but as the saying goes, a knowledgeable person is not knowledgeable, and a knowledgeable person is ignorant. Human experience and resources are always limited, and it is difficult to achieve both depth and breadth.

Because Lu Xuanyu's family is rich, he can travel around the world, visit martial artists around the world, and experience this technique.

But...

In the past, he would never have had the chance to fight against a warrior like Kano Torataro.

These warriors pursue "depth" and reach the pinnacle in a specific field. They may like the ideas expressed in this single field, or they may want to become "national players" and "famous people" in this single field and strive for fame and fortune.

In this way, martial artists who pursue "depth" will basically not communicate with martial artists who pursue "breadth" across fields. A martial artist who pursues "breadth" will not benefit him.

So are those Olympic champions. Whether they are judo athletes or fencers in the Republic, they have their own training plans on weekdays. They must prepare for various competitions, win glory for the country, and win gold and silver. Competing with a wild martial artist will not be of great help to their own projects, but may disrupt their own training plans.

But now, all his sparring partners are athletes of this level.

His opponents are the top in a single field.

Every time they fight, Lu Xuanyu feels that he has learned something new and seen a new world.

There is a difference between a sparring partner and an athlete standing in the ring. Even if their technical levels are different, their mentality and state are also different. The state of athletes in the offseason is not the same state as when they step into the ring.

Opponents who were in optimal physical and mental condition could always impress Lu Xuanyu in various ways.

In the past, these people were people whom I had no chance to visit. And now, they are all...

At this time, another jogger appeared and gradually stood side by side with Lu Xuanyu.

Lu Xuanyu glanced at that person. This is an Eastern European man with a beard and a very muscular body. It seems that he must be a contestant. This runner was wearing light-colored sportswear, and his armpits, chest, and back were wet with sweat.

Lu Xuanyu didn't know this person - there was no way, there were too many "experts in a single field", and the list of contestants was also very long, so he couldn't remember it all.

But the bearded guy recognized Lu Xuanyu. He seemed surprised and wanted to speak. But at this moment, he was quite tired. This fluctuation in consciousness and the thought of speaking disrupted his breathing. The tall runner had to regain control of his breathing.

Lu Xuanyu, on the other hand, maintained his movements basically unchanged. Even his breathing rate didn't change.

After running for several minutes, the warrior began to slow down. Lu Xuanyu also stopped.

Lu Xuanyu asked: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

The bearded warrior took a deep breath and said, "You are Lu Xuanyu... the cyborg fighter."

"Yes, it's me."

This warrior was a little surprised. He scratched his head and said: "Do you also need to run? Well, I heard that you don't need aerobic breathing... your heart is also a pump. Your legs are prosthetic limbs."

It seemed that this problem really bothered him.

Lu Xuanyu shrugged: "I'm used to it. For several years, I didn't have legs and could only walk with my hands. If you have such an experience, you will also like running."

"You just like it?"

"Well, it's almost like a walk."

"Oh, that's it." The big man took a few deep breaths and then said, "I still need to continue physical training..."

"If you don't disturb me, I plan to run a few more steps." Lu Xuanyu said, "Do you mind joining us?"

"Of course not." The big man smiled and continued running.

Lu Xuanyu jogged and followed him.

After running for a few minutes, Lu Xuanyu asked: "This friend, what is your name?"

This time, the big man ran a little slower. He seemed to be prepared in advance, so he didn't lose his breath this time. As he ran, he said, "My name is Bruce, Bruce Debast."

"Oh? The one who claims to be a Aikido practitioner?" Lu Xuanyu was a little surprised: "I've heard of you before! A long time ago!"

Lu Xuanyu had indeed heard of Bruce Debast.

Not the time Xiang Shan mentioned in the conversation with Chen Feng today, but even longer ago.

Bruce Debast is several years older than Lu Xuanyu. His father seemed to be a fan of Bruce Lee, so he named his son after Bruce Lee. When Bruce Debast grew up, he fell in love with another superhero named Bruce from across the ocean, that is, "Bruce Wayne".

He admired Batman so much that he actually put on a black night suit and patrolled the city where he lived as a vigilante.

Moreover, the martial arts he uses are really the martial arts that Batman likes in the setting.

Especially Aikido.

This is actually very rare. Because Aikido is not a mature martial arts school. He can only be regarded as an "idea" proposed by a jujitsu master in his later years, just like the "design concept" in the technology industry. Those demonstration technologies are only used to demonstrate this concept and basically cannot be used in actual combat.

Moreover, there is no systematic confrontational training in Aikido. Aikido dojos do not have professional physical training programs and there is no anti-strike training.

It's all just about showing that "idea".

However, Bruce Debast has extensively studied karate, Muay Thai, Brazilian boxing, fencing, French boxing, judo, Sambo, Capoeira and other martial arts, and he has made up for the parts that general Aikido dojos are not responsible for.

Of course, he has not forgotten the origin of his father's name for him.

He also studied Jeet Kune Do.

I learned it from the same boxing gym as Lu Xuanyu.

After completing his studies, he worked as a vigilante in his own city, looking for actual combat.

This is a master who is good at street fighting.

In a sense, he is quite similar to Lu Xuanyu. The same family background, the same hobby of martial arts, the same extensive study of world martial arts, and the same path of their own.

When Lu Xuanyu communicated with martial arts enthusiasts in Europe, he also heard about this strange man. The two of them actually have some overlapping social circles. However, they had not actually met before.

Today is the first time we meet.

The two ran for a long time, until Bruce was breathing heavily and couldn't run anymore.

Lu Xuanyu then stretched out his hand and said: "I have admired your name for a long time and have always wanted to see you. But then there was a car accident..."

"I've heard about that." Bruce also extended his hand, "I admire you very much. You are a hero, Lu."
