Minor Problems of Future Martial Arts

The crowd was stunned, was this evaluation high or low?

"No matter how powerful the monsters are, they can't be ten times more ferocious than they are now, right? This one-sided pursuit of extreme performance, regardless of the difficulty of learning and the body's ability to withstand it, is, to put it nicely, armchair strategy; to put it badly, it's harboring evil intentions."

Before his daughter could ask, Yan Zhennan took the initiative to say, "You don't know yet, but the old man has been in seclusion for half a year, and his divine skill has been completed. It is estimated that he will release version 2.0 of the 'Yan Family Ripple' next month."

The crowd exclaimed.

Since twenty years ago, when the head of the Yan Family, "Yan Hengbo," developed the Ripple Force, although it has been continuously improved, it has always been on a small scale, and the version numbers all started with 1.

Now, the Yan Family Ripple is finally entering the 2.0 era, which shows that this upgrade will definitely have an extraordinary breakthrough.

"The mainstream Ripple Force on the market now has about a dozen schools. Although our Yan Family Ripple is the only dominant one, we have not been able to achieve a complete monopoly. However, I believe that with the launch of version 2.0, other Ripple Force schools will forever lose the possibility of challenging the Yan Family."

Yan Zhennan said proudly, "You should understand how big this cake is—now all primary and secondary schools in the city teach our Yan Family Ripple, and the intellectual property fees paid to us by the Municipal Education Bureau every year are astronomical figures.

"Not to mention, we also cooperate with the military. The Yan Family Ripple plus the Hundred Battles Blade Technique is the Hundred Battles Surging Wave Blade, a practical blade technique that all Dragon City soldiers must learn.

"Hehe, those dozen or so Ripple Force schools dream of taking this cake away. I guess they have all heard that the old man is about to launch 'Yan Family Ripple 2.0'. If they don't act now, it will be too late!"

The crowd was thoughtful.

Yan Feirou asked, "But, what does this have to do with the Modified Ripple Force?"

"What does it have to do with it? Hehe, if I guessed correctly, this set of Super Ripple Force has already spread from your hands, right?" Yan Zhennan sneered, "If others believe that this is 'Yan Family Ripple 2.0', what do you think will happen?"

Yan Feirou shook her head blankly, "Daughter doesn't know."

Yan Zhennan put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "First of all, others will think that 'Yan Family Ripple 2.0' is very powerful, and the paper data is simply invincible. Various media releases will praise us to the sky, setting off a city-wide craze.

"Then, those 'Friendly Factions' will 'unintentionally' discover the flaws of the new Ripple Force, the various problems of oxygen consumption and cultivation difficulty. They will find that this is the Dragon Slaying Technique, designed to deal with non-existent monsters that are ten times more ferocious. It is a version that focuses on showing off skills and completely ignores practicality, and is extremely immature.

"Next, the major media will all turn their guns 180 degrees and criticize our Yan Family Ripple for forgetting its roots, forgetting that Ripple Force is just an entry-level basic force exertion method, and that more attention should be paid to the difficulty of learning and use compared to combat effectiveness.

"Those 'Friendly Factions' will all pretend to sigh, saying that entry-level martial arts should have entry-level gameplay, and that it cannot be turned into high-end martial arts by blindly stacking paper performance and pursuing extreme data in the laboratory.

"Following closely, primary and secondary schools and the military will all have doubts about the Yan Family Ripple, and will not be clear about our strategic development direction. If we are really preparing to attack the high-end and turn the Ripple Force into a Marvelous Skill and Unique Art, it will definitely not be suitable for large-scale popularization in schools and the military.

"At that time, hehe, we will lose the big contract, and those 'Friendly Factions' will be able to take advantage of it?

"Even if we keep the big contract, at least, before the release of 'Yan Family Ripple 2.0', creating a big news and completely muddying the waters will only benefit these 'Friendly Factions' and do them no harm."

Everyone was stunned by his words.

Yan Feirou was even more drenched in cold sweat, "Dad, are you saying that this set of Modified Ripple Force comes from other Ripple Force schools?"

"Friendly merchants, a shot in the back."

Yan Zhennan said, "Besides these guys who have been trying to deal with the Yan Family for more than ten years, who else can gather the wisdom of so many Ripple Force schools and integrate this seemingly correct Modified Ripple Force that even you were fooled by?"

Yan Feirou said, "It contains a very deep Yan Family style. Can other families really imitate it?"

Yan Zhennan said, "It is naturally impossible to imitate the whole set, but a few scales and claws, odds and ends, to guide us into a wrong path, may not be impossible."

Yan Feirou thought about it again and again, feeling ashamed, "Dad, I was wrong."

"Master, we were all wrong!"

Many of the third generation lowered their heads, feeling both lingering fear and annoyance.

"Don't blame yourselves. It's just that the other side is too insidious. If I'm not mistaken, they've been planning this scheme for at least half a year. It must have been orchestrated by masters from a dozen different schools. No matter how talented you are, you're still flowers in an ivory tower. How could you see through such a dangerous plot?"

Yan Zhennan said, "Fortunately, I didn't go hunting in the depths of the mist these past few days. Otherwise, the Yan Family would have faced a major crisis."

Yan Feirou said anxiously, "But the news has already spread on many forums and chat groups. What should we do?"

"It's salvageable since you didn't promote this 'Modified Ripple Force' in the public class."

Yan Zhennan pondered, "The most crucial thing now is that you accepted 10,000 yuan from them. They'll hire internet trolls to make trouble. A 10,000 yuan matter can be blown up into a multi-million yuan insider trading scandal. So, you immediately return the money to them and issue a clarification announcement. Be serious and completely sever the Yan Family's ties with this crazy Ripple Force.

"On my end, I'll immediately contact the group's public relations department to handle it overnight, striving to resolve everything before the internet traffic increases tomorrow."

Yan Feirou breathed a sigh of relief, fortunate that her father was there.

"What about Grandpa? Do we need to ask for his instructions?" she asked again.

"Forget it. The old man is still in seclusion, doing the final testing before the 2.0 version release. The entire R&D team has been working around the clock these past few days. We'll handle these minor matters and report to the old man later." Yan Zhennan waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

"Fire-Passing Old Man!" The Ripple Princess gritted her teeth, savoring the name.

Meng Chao had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and full of explosive power, eager to find a monster and give it a good beating.

Checking the Contribution Points below the Different Fire, huh, why is it only 1443? He remembered it was almost breaking a thousand before he went to sleep.

Only a few hundred Contribution Points increased overnight? That doesn't match the rapid growth rate from last night.

He scratched his head and groggily opened his phone, discovering that Yan Feirou had transferred one million live stream coins into his account. The money was converted into cash, with not a penny less in handling fees.

"What's going on?"

Meng Chao instantly woke up, checking Yan Feirou's latest updates and finding that the Ripple Princess had released a new video overnight.

In the video, she was wearing a black suit, her face as cold as ice, a stark contrast to the sweet princess persona from the public class.

"Recently, a new Ripple Force method has become popular in Dragon City. It's too extreme and even crazy. The consequences of practicing it are unpredictable...

"This 'Modified Ripple Force' is also fraudulently using the name of our 'Yan Family Ripple' to deceive people...

"I hope the developer can come to their senses and act accordingly. I personally and the entire Yan Family reserve the right to pursue legal action..."

Meng Chao was instantly confused again. What does she mean, extreme, crazy?

Could she be talking about his future Ripple Force?

But this Ripple Force was originally integrated and upgraded by Yan Feirou a long time later. What's wrong with this woman? When she goes crazy, she's slapping herself in the face?

Clicking into the comments section, netizens were discussing the matter, and many Ripple Force masters with verified identities were speaking out:

Zhao Clan Ripple: Absolutely support the Yan Family in clearing out the black sheep of the Ripple world!

Wang Clan Ripple: The core competitiveness of Ripple Force is its zero entry barrier, easy to learn, suitable for all ages, not blindly stacking paper parameters and extreme performance while ignoring the difficulty of cultivation and the consumption during operation. This 'Modified Ripple Force' has really gone down the wrong path!

Limitless Ripple: Although our Limitless Ripple is better than the original, we have never forgotten that the source of Ripple is the Yan Family. We must remember where the water comes from. Facing such crazy Demonic Ripple, we will always stand with the Yan Family!

Below, there were more than a dozen Ripple schools, all criticizing the future Ripple Force as worthless from the perspective of "Friendly Factions."

Meng Chao spent a long time reading gossip before he roughly understood what was going on.

Basically, the Yan Family Ripple suspected that this future Ripple Force was a fake produced by other schools, with three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, or even an evil art with ulterior motives.

After all, Meng Chao hadn't transcribed all the force exertion formulas and output algorithms. He couldn't remember many places clearly, and what he wrote was fragmented and ambiguous.

Moreover, some combat parameters were indeed a little too advanced for this era.

After the Yan Family Ripple spoke out, other schools didn't know the details and were afraid of being targeted by public opinion, so they took sides without thinking.

After some back and forth, everyone came to a conclusion.

This shocking Modified Ripple Force was definitely not created by someone from the ripple world, but rather a "masterpiece" of competitors such as Raging Bull Force and Dragon Snake Force, after all, their markets highly overlapped!

"Your thinking is very unique?"

Meng Chao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After carefully reading several posts published by professionals, he had to admit that their guesses also made some sense.

The next few decades would be a period of accelerated evolution for Dragon City people.

Stimulated by spiritual energy and war, after completely unlocking their genes, every cell in humans was being mined for its full potential, evolving madly.

Even if their appearance didn't change, the lung capacity, blood oxygen content, number of fibers in the muscle cross-section, hormone secretion levels, and functions of the internal organs of future Dragon City people would all be greatly improved.

Future martial arts were developed and upgraded for future humans.

Directly applying future martial arts to modern people was like running a large game on a mobile phone from decades ago, and the consequences... might not be as wonderful as he imagined.

This problem wasn't obvious in entry-level martial arts like Wild Bull Technique and Ripple Force.

But if he awakened more powerful Marvelous Skill and Unique Art, and his body was constantly tempered and transformed by the Fire Seed, cultivation would naturally be no problem. However, when promoting it to others, he had to be very careful.

"Fine, since you don't know the goods, I won't make this contribution!"

Meng Chao thought sourly, "Raging Bull Force, Dragon Snake Force, and more future martial arts, am I afraid of not finding a place to contribute?

"Yan Feirou, we've made an enemy. Today you treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, tomorrow you'll be begging me, wearing yoga clothes, hugging my thigh, I..."

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Forget it, a Flamebearer should have the demeanor of a Flamebearer, making contributions requires a spirit of not seeking fame or fortune, not being afraid of misunderstanding, and not being afraid of grievances. If the Ripple Princess really hugs my thigh and 'ooh ooh' cries and admits her mistake, showing that she is sincerely repentant, then I will reluctantly forgive her once?"

The matter was decided so happily.

This day wasn't without good news.

He brushed out the third Elite Monster, Devil Yan.
