Chapter 641: Chapter 285: The Target

```

"Is this all the artificial intelligence we have? How could they possibly box well?" Xiang Shan sighed, "Even those Boxing King AIs are not much different. Really. But in single techniques, such as bob and weave, footwork, guard, switching stance, stabbing fist, and combination punches, they do indeed possess the level of a Boxing King. Therefore, training against these artificial intelligences should still help improve the skills of most boxers."

"Machines lack goals and do not understand the concept of ’fabricating what does not exist.’ However, they have surpassed humans in resource management, probability assessment, and commanding obedience. Therefore, the proper path for technological development is to set goals for machines using the human mind, and to use the power of machines to bring humans to those goals."

Xiang Shan looked at the expressions of Coach Novich and Lu Xuanyu, knowing that his demonstration had not been in vain.

From the beginning, Xiang Shan’s actions had a very clear purpose. He wanted these two to realize that "times have changed."

Indeed, times have changed.

What Lu Xuanyu truly needed to do was to smash what he had learned in the past, to let go of the shackles of the past, and to create new techniques that could adapt to his cybernetically enhanced body.

Martial arts vary under different conditions.

For example, martial arts on the stage can undergo massive technical changes just because of the rules stipulating whether "boxing gloves" or "finger-separated boxing gloves" are used.

The change in Lu Xuanyu was even more apparent.

His center of gravity had lowered.

Most of the training methods Lu Xuanyu was accustomed to no longer suited him.

Coach Novich might not even take the initiative to think about "what to do."

So, Xiang Shan used the most violent method, showing them the technological prowess of Superman Enterprise, branding such an idea deep within their hearts.

"Train well," Xiang Shan said. "Don’t end up being unable to even beat a robot."

A sense of urgency surged within Lu Xuanyu. Xiang Shan might know what AI is like, but Lu Xuanyu did not. In his heart, these robots were monsters with the skills of a Boxing King and filled with cunning tactics.

Xiang Shan knew his words had had an effect.

The three returned to the first floor. Lu Xuanyu felt that his mindset was completely different from before he went down, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint what had changed.

When the three reached the ground, the trainers of the boxing projects had found a new entertainment. They were trying to break through the guard of AI Tyson using their fists. Some were attempting to hit Ali’s AI.

Trainers from other projects surrounded the other robots, looking for opportunities to train.

—Then what can I do?

Lu Xuanyu began to think involuntarily.

"Think more," said Xiang Shan, leading the group, "Use the human mind to set goals for machines..."

.......................................

"...and use the machine’s power to reach those goals." Atop the armored vehicle, Xiang Shan covered with a camouflage net looked up.

Yuan Wenren, lying on top of the vehicle and alertly scanning the surroundings with firearms, suddenly said, "Senior, are you thinking about something happy?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"I’ve been learning from you for a few years," Yuan Wenren said. "You start talking to yourself about the sayings of the Martial Ancestor when you are either very happy or very unhappy. I understand."

"That obvious, huh..." Xiang Shan looked down at his arm.

It was a mechanical arm.

A hand that lacked sensation in most areas.

Admittedly, the prosthetic body used by Lu Xuanyu in the mid-21st century could nearly match the tactile sensation of human skin, but two hundred years later, the prosthetic body used by Xiang Shan no longer had that kind of touch.

Pressure-sensitive resistors inevitably decrease the strength of the external armor and increase manufacturing costs as well as maintenance difficulty.

In pursuit of ultimate performance, Xiang Shan’s prosthetic body did not incorporate pressure-sensitive resistors into the external armor.

Instead, the joints, the shock-absorbent lining of the armor, and a small portion of the external armor were all integrated with denser pressure-sensitive resistors.

These sensations ensure that martial artists can use skillful arts such as "hidden power," "listening skill," and "unloading force." On this point, contemporary cybernetically enhanced martial artists are much stronger than those in the past.

However, this body is incapable of replicating the tactile sensation like that of a human.

If human instinct truly resists adaptation, one would only be able to regularly use false tactile signals to create the sensation of being "touched."

Xiang Shan sighed.

After all, that is the ultimate answer. The human will creates "plans" and "goals," and then martial arts are carried out through Martial Arts Algorithms and prosthetic bodies.

"At that time, I probably would not have imagined that cyber martial arts would turn out like this."

The underlying layer of this world is actually incredibly complex, but humans do not have to understand the principles of the world before they can do something.

Humans need not know that "sensation and thought rely on the transmission of electrical signals" to move and think. They do not need to understand the central dogma and Mendelian genetics to naturally propagate their offspring. Every thought of a human involves complex brain activities, and every action of a human involves a series of complex command transmissions.

But humans do not need to understand all of this.

Martial arts are the same. Now, martial artists like Xiang Shan and Hiroshi Matsushima raise their hands, and countless possibilities emerge, leading to tens of thousands of strategy sets, with continuous Markov chain-based moves projection.

But martial artists in combat do not need to allow their conscious mind to directly manage these processes.

Of course, when martial arts practice reaches a profound depth, one must learn about these contents.

"The things that need to be thought about can be thought of. But the things that are useless to think about should not disturb one’s mind," Xiang Shan clenched his fist. "Now, let’s prioritize dealing with Nine’s matter."

At this moment, a massive sandstorm was brewing in the north. Xiang Shan and his group got the news and immediately set out, heading for Paradox City.

They were now on the way.

Suddenly, a figure approached rapidly. Yuan Wenren, thinking it was an enemy, aimed her firearm instantly. But after observing for a while, she said to Xiang Shan, "It’s Elder Jader."

The Solo Kill King approached quickly. He stopped more than ten meters away from Xiang Shan, and an infrared signal transmitted a piece of intelligence directly.

"What..." Xiang Shan was momentarily stunned.

"It’s absolutely true," Jader leaped onto the vehicle. "Nameless Hero, give us a definite answer. How do we handle this?"

Xiang Shan considered only for an instant.

"Of course, we’re heading to Pine Eagle City," Xiang Shan smiled. "Looks like we’ll have two more hands to help, which is good."
