Isn't There a Genius Right Here?
As the thin young man spoke, he waved his hand and pulled over a player with an extremely burly physique.
The two stood facing each other, maintaining a very respectful and martial demeanor.
Support your back.
The burly player immediately let out a low roar and threw a heavy punch at Du Shu's face!
It is expansive and powerful.
Du Shu remained calm and composed. Suddenly, his body sank, and he abruptly turned to the side.
A powerful, gust of wind whistled past his scalp.
Just as the burly man's center of gravity shifted slightly forward due to his missed strike, Du Shu moved.
He suddenly took a step forward.
With a powerful upward slam of his left forearm, he executed a perfect bridge strike, precisely hitting the inside of the big man's elbow before he could retract it, forcefully cutting off the opponent's subsequent force and forcefully shifting his center of gravity outward!
At the same time! The five fingers of the right hand were clenched tightly, with the second joint of the index finger protruding and forming a vicious phoenix eye fist.
call-
Accompanied by a violent jerk of the waist and hips.
Explosive burst of power!
Bang!
A dull thud rang out.
That phoenix eye punch didn't aim for the head, nor did it touch the thickest part of the big man's chest. Instead, it struck the most vulnerable soft tissue below the big man's ribs at a tricky angle!
The burly man let out a muffled groan, as if he had been struck by a high-voltage electric shock, instantly freezing in place, his face turning deathly pale, and even his breathing stopped for a beat.
Even though Du Shu had stopped exerting his strength, the sharp pain that pierced through his internal organs in that instant still made him cry out.
Did you understand?
Du Shu slowly withdrew his fist, turned to look at the camera. "These are just moves from the game, not techniques used to compete with enemies to see who is stronger or has the harder fist!"
"It's all about the ebb and flow, the sudden bursts and tremors!"
"How to use short, close-range attacks with a combination of parries and strikes to directly dismantle the opponent's defense within a limited space!"
Then, Du Shu continued his demonstration, having the burly player launch attacks from different angles in succession.
Faced with a barrage of powerful straight punches.
Du Shu faced him head-on, his hands moving like butterflies flitting among flowers as he used the Flicking Finger and Shattering Bridge techniques. His arms rotated inward and wrapped outward, each strike precisely hitting the most vulnerable joint of his opponent's wrist, forcefully smashing open his center.
Immediately following was a vicious elbow strike aimed straight at his heart!
Faced with a powerful sweeping leg, he shifted his footwork and delivered a shin strike, kicking the side of the opponent's supporting leg's knee with his heel, instantly disintegrating the opponent's lower body and causing the burly man to lose his balance and stumble to his knees!
There were no dazzling light and shadow effects, nor earth-shattering energy clashes.
Only extremely efficient methods of disrupting the center of gravity, explosive bursts of power, and ruthless attacks targeting the weakest points in the human body!
"Those combos that you find disgusting and insane in dungeons, when broken down, are just these things!"
About ten minutes later.
In the video, Du Shu wiped the sweat from his face. "In those narrow alleys and corridors, this kind of technique, which emphasizes the application of force for self-defense and aims to defeat the enemy in one move, is more effective than many other skills!"
"Most importantly, these moves, combined with the skills rewarded from dungeons, can truly become a set of killing techniques that, to some extent, ignore numerical stats!"
"Of course, that's on the premise that you can clear the dungeon and truly understand all the enemy moves in this dungeon, Sifu."
"When you learn to observe the enemy, learn to analyze their attack trajectories, and learn how to find that fleeting weakness and absolute opening under the most extreme pressure—"
"You'll find that this isn't some kind of torture or twisted dungeon at all!"
"This instance, just like its name suggests—truly belongs to the Sifu."
"To impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts."
"Using the harshest death penalties, we force every player entering the dungeon to abandon their blind reliance on numerical values, to rediscover their own bodies, and to take control of them!"
Then, Du Shu took a deep breath and continued, "And everyone, please don't think that's all there is to it."
"What I've demonstrated to you today is merely the fighting style of the enemies in the Squats and nightclubs. The further you progress in the dungeon, the more sophisticated their moves become."
"What's even more terrifying is that there's definitely more than just one style of martial arts in the dungeon!"
"Lu Xiu seems to have crammed a vast martial arts system encompassing countless styles into this action-packed instance!"
"A person's energy and the number of times they can be beaten are ultimately limited. I can't possibly handle it all by myself."
"So, for players interested in this, even if you haven't finished the game yet, you can still contact me! Let's go in together, get beaten up, explore together, and continue to uncover the things Lu Xiu has hidden, bit by bit!"
At the end of the video.
Du Shu looked at the camera, her eyes filled with amazement.
"It's such a pity this was made into a dungeon. Because of the Goddess's Blade Title, the Architect herself can't say it directly." "Otherwise, I really want to meet the Architect in person! To ask her for advice!"
"That must be a martial arts master!"
The progress bar has reached the end.
The video ends here with a completely black screen.
But the player forums in Nine Provinces were completely ignited.
Unlike a few days ago, the screen was no longer filled with feelings of despair and anger.
[Holy crap, that's awesome! They actually copied the enemy's moves from the dungeon, and they're amazing!]
[I think Lu Xiu is even more impressive—the things from the dungeon can actually be used in real life, and quite realistically at that. Is this martial arts? No, can you even do this in a dungeon?]
[It's really outrageous to put real-world martial arts into a dungeon and then add a Neutralize mechanism on top of that. I don't know if you've noticed, but Neutralize can actually be applied in real life, it's just that there's no mandatory judgment in the dungeon, so the effect isn't as strong.]
But there's no doubt it can be used in reality! Add to that the skills rewarded for clearing dungeons, and as Du Shu said, it could truly become a killing move! Of course, the prerequisite is clearing the dungeon and, according to Lu Xiu's plan, truly understanding what's inside.
[So the enemies in the dungeon are essentially teaching materials? So those minions and elite monsters weren't just torturing us at all? They were teaching us how to fight step by step?!]
I think that—in some ways, Lu Xiu is truly teaching everyone.
[----I'm only now realizing why Lu Xiu made the dungeons so difficult; unless you're pushed to your limits, you won't even bother to pay attention to the enemy's movements.]
[That's right. If you have overwhelming numerical superiority, you don't care how the enemy attacks; you can just kill them with one punch. But once attributes are stripped away, you can only observe, analyze, and understand; there's no other way.]
[Seriously—I don't even know how to evaluate it anymore. It's a pity Lu Xiu is still too strong. Even if it's a tutorial, the entry barrier is not low. The dungeon difficulty is just too high. It would be great if there were a dungeon with a gradual progression.]
[Yes, Grandmaster, you're giving us far too much credit. It would be great if there were a transitional dungeon that allowed us a bit more leeway in our practice.]
[----]
Old Sea.
The Spirit Pivot Construction Group.
Jin Yi stared at the comments from other players below Du Shu's post, unable to process what was happening for a long time.
Oh, I see.
The dungeon contains a vast martial arts system encompassing countless styles.
It's truly unbelievable!
No wonder someone like that can wield such influence.
Is it really fair to compare Construction Club with someone like that?
Thinking of this...
Jin Yi gave a wry smile, then lowered his gaze to the last comment displayed on the window.
[It would be great if there were a transitional instance that allowed us to practice with a slightly higher margin of error.]
The Sifu dungeon is really strong.
However, this instance is also like an insurmountable mountain, standing in the way of most players with mediocre talent.
They need a ladder.
Stairs----
Jin Yi opened his proposal again.
In the end, he still incorporated some elements from Lu Xiu's storyline—although unlike Sun Yi, he hadn't listened to Lu Xiu's explanations or confirmed the martial arts style.
But subconsciously, he did intend to make the enemy's moves traceable, close to the moves of the enemies in his Sifu's dungeon, even if it was only the moves of the enemies in the first two levels.
Because he hasn't finished the game yet.
Jin Yi looked at the comments on the forum, those who were eager for the transitional version of the game.
A kind of greed called business opportunity, mixed with his deep-seated resentment, surged violently in his chest.
The painful lesson he learned from his previous attempt to imitate Resident Evil, which ended up being a poor imitation, left him with lingering fear.
This dungeon, built on the framework of the Prison Rock dungeon, is the first transformation project that the Spirit Pivot Construction Group has wholeheartedly wanted to do well since its establishment, and has deliberately avoided the Lu Xiu style.
He was initially afraid of being associated with Lu Xiu again, afraid of being compared by other players, and afraid of failing again after going online.
Although she wanted to learn Lu Xiu, she was always hesitant and timid.
But now----
After watching Du Shu's video and seeing the players' comments.
He suddenly realized that the mountain was right there!
For players, the Sifu instance is like a mountain.
For the Architect, Lu Xiu herself is the mountain.
Isn't it normal to get criticized for comparing yourself to a mountain?!
So be it and get yelled at!
There's nothing shameful about learning from majestic mountains!
The mountain is there, but the road still needs to be repaired.
There can only be one master, but there are never too many road builders.
Jin Yi refused to believe that someone would move the stones, fill in the pits, and pave the road section by section.
These players are still cursing!
Construction Club is shameful! It's inferior to Lu Xiu! But aren't we learning from her?
I've figured that out.
Jin Yi took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
At the same time.
Dungeon Resource Management Division.
Sun Yi also saw the post. He was stunned, then recalled the theory Lu Xiu had told him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Miss Lu.
You didn't tell me that it needed to be crammed into a huge martial arts system that encompasses countless schools!
That's outrageous! How can anyone learn that?
However, he quickly shook his head, cheered himself up, and reopened his proposal.
How can you compare to this person?
I'm not a grandmaster myself.
I'm just an ordinary Architect. It's enough if I can create a dungeon that allows players to catch their breath and progress gradually.
Let's stick to the original plan!
Thinking of this, Sun Yi took a deep breath and lowered his head again.
At the same time.
Maple Leaf Avenue.
Lu Xiu sat on the sofa, wearing a loose white T-shirt and light-colored hot pants, revealing a section of her delicate, fair calves. She raised her hands above her head and was tying her hair into a ponytail.
She had a rubber band in her mouth and used both hands to gather all her smooth hair behind her head.
In front of her, a forum window was floating, and he had also clicked on Du Shu's post.
Lu Xiu took the hair tie out of her mouth, tied her hair up, and then looked at the post, saying softly, "Wow, amazing—isn't this a genius?"
