Cyber Heroes

Lu Xuanyu and Bruce Debast chatted all the way, and they felt as if they had met each other too late.

Although one was born in East Asia and the other in Eastern Europe, their family backgrounds, hobbies, and choices after embarking on the path of martial arts are surprisingly similar.

Even the routes they took around the world were similar.

Lu Xuanyu started at the Jeet Kune Do martial arts school in the United States, while Bruce learned Aikido in Japan. After that, they experience different martial arts all over the world.

For example, Lu Xuanyu briefly experienced full-armor fighting in a principality in Europa. He lived there for several months and visited some enthusiasts. Bruce systematically learned a series of techniques there.

Of course, when Bruce goes out as a vigilante at night, he will wear modern protective gear. He needed a technique to help him navigate these heavy objects used to protect his vitals.

Bruce also systematically studied how to use protective gear to face enemies holding short knives.

All this opened Lu Xuanyu's eyes.

As the two chatted, the road became shorter without realizing it. Soon, the two of them saw the door of the hotel.

"It's been a pleasure, Lu," Bruce said. "It's been a pleasure talking to you. You're like the Asian version of me."

"This is a kind of compliment." Lu Xuanyu said, "I can't compare to a benevolent person like you who always uses his martial arts in the right places."

"Your deeds of saving that child are admirable enough." Bruce said, "By the way, in a few days, I may propose to modify the rules of the game."

"Oh." Lu Xuanyu nodded, "This is your right."

Although Xiangshan attached great importance to this competition tactically, formulated the best training methods for Lu Xuanyu, and conducted targeted training for all threatening opponents, strategically he despised everyone. Deep down in his heart, he was very arrogant and did not believe that any Homo sapiens warrior could defeat a baseline Homo warrior.

Therefore, Homo sapiens martial artists can modify the rules they propose as much as they want until the day before the competition. There are even times when Superman Enterprises allow "unequal rules" to exist. For example, Lu Xuanyu will still strictly abide by the rules of the boxing ring, but his opponent can hit some prohibited areas and use some prohibited moves.

Lu Xuanyu has already taken advantage of him in terms of physical fitness and strength. This advantage should still be reserved for the other party.

"Just now, I intuitively felt how terrifying your physical strength...stamina or something else is." Bruce said, "Under the general rules, I will definitely lose."

"Um."

Just now Lu Xuanyu ran away with Bruce. After the last stretch of the journey, it took Bruce several minutes to catch his breath, but Lu Xuanyu remained calm.

In the previous handshake, Bruce could also feel something special.

He intuitively felt the other party's inhuman physique.

"Although I was aware of it on the first day and wanted to apply to change the declaration rules, you just went on a journey with me and let me see more things." Bruce said, "I will use my feelings to change the rules." Change the rules. I hope this is not offensive to you."

"Every professional boxer will study his next opponent before the game, and even make special training for him." Lu Xuanyu said, "You can analyze these objective facts at will."

Maybe he stayed with Xiang Shan and those scientists for too long. Only at this moment did Lu Xuanyu feel that Bruce's thinking was a bit "

axis".

"I don't want this to have any... impact on our friendship," Bruce said.

"You're overthinking this, man."

"I will propose to modify the rules and wear protective gear on my body, and the standards for protective gear will be set by me. That is the protective gear I am used to. In addition, we will also use some non-lethal weapons, including swing sticks and the like..."

Lu Xuanyu nodded: "It's okay to include the stun device, as long as you don't add the Taser to the weapon options. I really can't do that."

A Taser is a high-voltage electric shock device. The most famous series of this type of stun gun comes from a police weapons manufacturer called "Taser", hence the name. The Taser has a nitrogen-filled pneumatic magazine inside and two small darts at the front. After the trigger is pulled, the high-pressure nitrogen in the magazine is quickly released, launching the two darts in the gun chamber; after hitting the target, the barbs can hook onto the suspect's clothes and even skin. The electrodes in the darts can generate high-voltage electricity in a very short time, causing the target muscles to spasm or even go into shock.

It is a very useful non-lethal weapon.

"Taser...but this is the world's best martial arts competition..." Bruce Debast was immediately shocked.

"Indeed, but our big boss's ideas are a little...radical." Lu Xuanyu whispered, "In fact, the boss has considered lifting the ban on thermal weapons, allowing enhanced martial artists to compete with backward thermal weapons. However, I felt that it was impossible for a mortal body to fight against thermal weapons, so I refused. But in fact, I have actually done training on electric shock weapons..."

"Electric shock device? How to practice this?"

"Just let an armed martial artist hold the shortest simulated weapon, put paint on one end of the simulated electric shock device, and then stipulate that 'if you have paint on you, you lose'..." Lu Xuanyu folded his hands in front of his chest and recalled: "Good guy, that's really cruel. I was defeated several times because I was unfamiliar with it. But the electric shock device is mainly about concealment and suddenness. It is too short and has no interception effect on the enemy's attacks. , not suitable for use in the ring, not very difficult to fight - by the way, is a Taser considered a 'hot weapon'? What about anti-wolf spray?"

Lu Xuanyu once again touched the blind spot of his thinking.

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "So that's it...this competition is really interesting."

"Yes, there are even horse-mounted martial arts, full-armor martial arts and various equipment." Lu Xuanyu said, "But it is true that I have never seen this martial artist who applied for the use of electric shock devices and anti-wolf spray."

Bruce sighed: "That's really the right time..."

In fact, Bruce didn't say a word.

He is probably the best martial artist in the world with his stun weapon.

In terms of pure fighting skills, Bruce is not ranked among the best in the world. Being limited to a single rule, a street fighting master like him would suffer even more.

But when it comes to the use of electric shock devices, he is probably the best in the world.

As someone who had fought crime on the streets, Bruce was familiar with this stuff.

But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this plan.

As Lu Xuanyu said, electric shock devices are not suitable for placement in the ring.

If the rules declared by Bruce include electric shock devices, then Lu Xuanyu will definitely be wary of Bruce's hands.

Lu Xuanyu's boxing champion-level pace and evasion made "attacking with a stun device" an extremely risky choice.

The ring is transparent, but street fighting is full of unknowns.

Lu Xuanyu even went through special training on electric shock devices.

——Who on earth has such a strange idea that he would do such a training that is most likely meaningless?

Afterwards, Bruce briefly explained his street fighting experience to Lu Xuanyu.

Lu Xuanyu also listened with interest.

"Lu." At the end, Bruce couldn't help but ask a question, "Speaking of which, why are you competing?"

"Huh? It should be written in the news, this is my job." Lu Xuanyu jumped on the spot twice, "Look at me now, I can run and jump. If I hadn't accepted this job, I would just have to Sitting in a wheelchair, watching the live broadcast of this game."

"No, I'm not asking about that, but, um, 'pursuit' or something like that?" Bruce said, "I just wanted to see more about martial arts at first, and then I managed to get in using MMA rules. Then, I thought the bonus might be nice, and it would be even better if people noticed the work of us volunteers.”

"That's what you said." Lu Xuanyu nodded, "If I really win the battle, the rewards I will receive will be extremely generous."

"Do you care about that reward?" Bruce asked: "But you were basically not nervous when you were playing against each other. You didn't seem to be afraid of losing."

"Is there any?" Lu Xuanyu was in a daze. A few days ago, he was so nervous about "what if he lost" that he couldn't sleep.

Maybe Xiang Shan's words, "No matter what, we all make money" made him relax?

"After you won, I didn't see you being ecstatic because you were 'one step closer to the grand prize.' Instead, you were more concerned about how your opponent was doing." Bruce said, "Victory didn't seem to make you feel that happy. Then the relationship between you and your opponent The communication didn’t make you very happy either…”

Lu Xuanyu pondered for a moment.

Bruce made it sound like it was true.

Unlike in movies and comics, a martial artist can become infinitely stronger by fighting against wooden stakes and practicing with imaginary enemies. In reality, a fighter needs opponents, communication, and sparring.

Lu Xuanyu has already met people at the highest level in various categories. Even if these top talents adjust their body and mind to their peak state to fight him, they will only be "stronger than usual."

And Lu Xuanyu's physical fitness and reactions are at a crushing level.

He doesn't find winning exciting.
