Chapter 998 Invitation Letter and Audition

At this moment, there are only a few months left before the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament", and the early "audition" is coming to an end.

What is "audition"?

Martial artists who can compete with Lu Xuanyu are selected from all over the world.

The rules of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament are "the challenger proposes the rules of the game", and then the champion abides by the rules to compete. Therefore, there is no universal rule, and naturally it is impossible to use "everyone fights" to decide the winner.

Even many martial arts and postures designed for ring matches can hardly adapt to "group fights".

This is naturally not fair.

Not to mention that the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament also allows the use of any cold weapons.

If Lu Xuanyu had not resolutely refused, Xiangshan would even plan to allow guys who use pistols to join.

It is impossible to bring everyone to the same level.

Therefore, the first World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament mainly adopts the "invitation system".

The first invitees are the kings of various professional fighting events.

For example, the boxing champions of each weight class in boxing events such as WBO, WBA, WBC, and IBF.

Champions of MMA events such as UFC, SF, and Dream.

Stars of GLORY and K-1.

And so on.

Any athlete who has achieved success in those famous events will receive an invitation.

For those events that do not have a professional league, such as various wrestling events, Olympic champions are invited.

Those who have proven themselves can directly skip the audition stage and enter the challenge stage.

People who have achieved the highest honor in a field, such as the "youngest sumo yokozuna", also have invitations.

As for whether these people are willing to come, that is another matter.

In addition, there are two partners of Superman Enterprises, and they will each find a martial artist armed with technology to fight against Lu Xuanyu launched by Superman Enterprises. These two companies with military backgrounds can naturally get invitations.

And the invitations that have been issued can also be seized.

Anyone can defeat the invitation holder under the rules specified by the invitation holder. As long as the competition is open, Superman Enterprise will recognize the result.

In addition, if others want to challenge, they have to be eliminated from the auditions.

After all, the challenge is a great opportunity to become famous. Moreover, as long as you appear, you will get an appearance fee, and if you win, you will get a reward of tens of millions of dollars. This kind of good thing is really rare.

Some people think that even if they can't win, as long as they perform well in the ring, they are not much worse than star athletes such as boxing champions, that is a natural advertising effect.

There are countless people who come to sign up.

These people will be assigned to groups with similar rules according to the rules of the game they have identified, and they will play a double-elimination knockout under similar rules.

Some wild ones have no knowledge of the rules and don't know what environment their martial arts are suitable for. Then they will follow the MMA rules.

Of course, there are also people who say that their martial arts are only for poking eyes and crotches, and they only kill people without performing - there are still many such people. They insist that the MMA rules will greatly limit their performance.

I don't know if these people just want to show their faces on TV, or they are sure that there is only one cyborg warrior, Lu Xuanyu, so Superman Enterprise can't arrange a tester, and they think of relying on this method to get into the finals.

For such people, Xiangshan had no choice but to ask them to fight Tyson who was restricted by boxing rules under completely unrestricted rules.

Xiangshan promised that as long as they could hit the target on the "vital parts" of the robot in three rounds out of five rounds, they would pass.

Although everyone knows that "kicking the boxer's legs" is a good way to break the game, so far, those who have fought Tyson with completely unrestricted rules have basically been beaten up, and no one has even won a round.

Tyson, the machine sparring partner, is far weaker than the human boxing champion in complex attacks, and only a single technique is at the level of the boxing champion. If you can't even beat this weakened Tyson, don't even think about coming to the ring of the world's number one martial arts tournament.

Xiangshan also made a funny collection of some people's embarrassing performances in the form of memes.

Under the unremitting publicity of Superman Enterprise, the "World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament" has become the hottest topic worldwide. From small villages in Southeast Asia to cities in North America, people are discussing this everywhere.

Lu Xuanyu's sparring partner Vasily is an Eastern European. With Slavic ancestry, he looks as strong as a bear. He is a boxing champion with two belts, so of course he got the invitation letter directly.

He is one of Lu Xuanyu's opponents.

The machine sparring provided by Xiangshan has been popular in boxing gyms throughout the United States for more than a year. Coach Norwich's connections have played a lot of roles.

Those high-level martial artists can naturally understand the help of this kind of machine sparring for practice.

And the "Sports Science Research Center" mentioned by Norwich will naturally arouse their interest.

Xiangshan also recruited more sparring partners based on this "interest".

Vasily is one of them. On the first day he came, he asked Xiangshan to feed his data to the supercomputer "Zhenwu 1". He wanted to see the results of his communication with those great boxers.

And the Sports Science Research Center did give him more surprises.

Many boxing gyms in the United States have only purchased basic sparring robots. They still have doubts about the "package service" that Xiangshan withdrew from - some people don't understand it very well, and don't understand what those packages are for.

And this Sports Science Research Center has gathered the data of all the sparring robots in the world, as well as the summary and organization of Zhenwu 1. Those sparring robots can adjust their arm span, stride, weight, etc. by replacing accessories, and can also help boxers get more familiar with opponents with different physical qualities.

At the same time, there is also the most scientific training method here.

This is the best training camp.

Vasily feels that this place has given him a great help in getting his second belt.

He is the athlete with the longest cooperation and the highest level with the Sports Science Research Center.

It is precisely because of this that Vasily knows how terrifying Lu Xuanyu's progress is.

The confrontational training of ordinary boxers can only be regarded as a part of actual combat. The high-intensity confrontation close to the competition state accounts for a small proportion of training. But this is not true for Lu Xuanyu. He is not afraid of injury or fatigue at all. Not to mention that he completely gave up physical training.

Apart from training skills and reactions, the rest of the time was spent on actual combat training, with multiple top athletes fighting him in a round-robin format.

His daily training volume exceeded that of an ordinary professional boxer in a week.

In this case, how could he not be strong?

The sentence "I won't be able to beat you in a few months" was also sincere.

Lu Xuanyu knew Vasily's character. He knew that Vasily didn't really want to reach a private agreement - if the other party really had this intention, it would not be in such a public occasion. So he said it half-jokingly.

Dozens of invitations were sent out alone. Even if Lu Xuanyu gave each person 10 million, his 200 million bonus could not buy off all opponents - even if he only bought off those opponents he was not sure of defeating.

"Besides, if I really did this, the boss would definitely not let us go." Lu Xuanyu shrugged, "That's the richest man in the world."

A dark-skinned buddy wiped the sweat from his forehead. There is a tattoo on his head, which is a Chinese character for "Buddha". After living in the Republic for a year, he has also become interested in Han culture. He shouted: "We won't be able to beat you in a few months. Is there only one competition?"

Xiangshan used "the first session" when promoting the world's first martial arts competition. But all the sparring partners here basically think that there is unlikely to be a second session.

Lu Xuanyu said he had no comment.

He actually had a guess.

Xiangshan told him not long ago that "such" the world's first martial arts competition may only have this one session. After seeing Lu Xuanyu's training results, he thought that even if the second session is still an invitation-only session, there will be no more Homo sapiens warriors participating. He plans to make this competition a stage for military enterprises, pharmaceutical enterprises, and technology enterprises to train warriors and compete.

The power of a single person is indeed incomparable to technology.

Lu Xuanyu was not surprised by this result. But he couldn't help feeling a little awkward. The martial arts he loved did not seem to include this form.

But at this stage, he still had to fulfill the contract with Xiangshan.

The boxing champion was concerned about the safety and price of the standardization transformation: "I heard that your boss plans to arrange a standardization transformation surgery for himself?"

"If there is no accident, he will arrange his own transformation surgery after the first competition and before the preparations for the second competition begin." Lu Xuanyu said, "The boss is still healthy, but his age is gradually increasing..."

Xiangshan has always wanted to undergo transformation surgery. But he is too busy. The coma of half a year has stood between him and the transformation surgery. Now is the critical period for the development of Superman Enterprise, and he can't spare time.

However, it is not a big deal for the promoter of genetic modification surgery to not undergo the surgery himself, which will arouse suspicion. After this competition, Superman Enterprise has earned enough attention. If it is delayed any further, it will be bad.

Xiangshan only hopes that Yoger's technology can make a breakthrough, at least the research plan of the "baby" can be realized as soon as possible, which can further shorten the isolation and coma time.

The boxing champion said: "Is that so..."

After a year of getting along with Lu Xuanyu, he has long lost his initial instinctive discomfort with genetically modified people and prosthetic limbs.

He was still a little hesitant about whether to undergo the surgery.

As a star athlete, he had no shortage of money. The theoretical lifespan of 400 years also made him excited.
