Chapter 280: 221. The New King’s Coronation (A 10,000-Character Mega Chapter Added for the Golden League)_3
The stands erupted into noise.
In the last ranking match, although Qing Chen made it through, he hadn’t displayed any combat skills in that fight. The match with Huang Zixian was more of a fight for life, making him seem like a brute.
However, this time was different. The skill and foresight Qing Chen demonstrated were nothing short of perfect.
The boxing match appeared as if it was a performance Qing Chen had arranged with Xiao Taibao beforehand.
The spectators gradually got excited, and Qing Chen looked towards the No. 001 VIP box outside the Octagon cage; he knew Jiang Xiaotang must be inside.
After the match ended, he didn’t leave the Octagon cage, but instead, he waited.
The next second, Jiang Xiaotang’s voice came through the referee’s earpiece, “Tell the audience that today’s Tiger Grade matches will go on until no one in the gym can fight anymore. Open a new market, bet on how many matches he can fight tonight. Ji Hao, have all the Tiger Grade Boxers in the gym start warming up.”
In the front row of the stands, Huang Zixian sat in his wheelchair, silently watching the young man in the Octagon cage.
The opponent was still waiting for new challengers to enter the cage, seemingly unaffected by the hubbub surrounding the Octagon cage.
Outside the Octagon cage was one world, inside was another independent world.
Among those present, Huang Zixian was undoubtedly the most affected, since he had once fought on an even keel with Qing Chen.
He knew that just a few days ago, the other party had no skill to speak of; if Qing Chen had, he wouldn’t have been pressed hard by Huang in the early phase, and wouldn’t have had to resort to desperate moves later.
Yet now, Huang Zixian realized that Qing Chen’s combat skill had become unimaginably refined.
He didn’t understand how the youth managed it.
As the saying goes, laymen enjoy the show, connoisseurs appreciate the technique; half the ordinary viewers were puzzled, how did Xiao Taibao lose like that?
The gamblers who bet on Xiao Taibao cursed him for throwing the match and demanded the Begonia Boxing Gym strip him of his Tiger Grade Boxer status.
But Huang Zixian knew that Xiao Taibao’s submission to Qing Chen wasn’t because he was stupid or acting; it was because Qing Chen had made an early prediction.
It was as if the young man in the Octagon cage could foresee the future, always one step ahead.
That was the most terrifying aspect.
Huang Zixian pondered that if he fought Qing Chen again today, even without his unexplained tears, the odds of winning were not in his favor.
Becuase Qing Chen had also learned his most confident ground jujitsu techniques.
Huang Zixian wondered if there was no longer any chance to repay the life he owed Qing Chen.
“Wait, why hasn’t Qing Xiaotu left the ring after the match is over?” some spectators wondered.
“What is he waiting for?”
The next moment, the host shouted to the entire audience, “Ladies and gentlemen, Begonia Boxing Gym is about to witness a historic moment in Tiger Grade competition tonight. Boxer Qing Xiaotu will not only challenge Xiao Taibao but will also engage in a real no-holds-barred fight inside the Octagon cage!”
“Tonight, he will continue to fight the other five Tiger Grade Boxers present in the gym until he makes it through or dies!”
“The new betting market is open, you may now place your bets!”
The spectators and gamblers in the stands did not expect a new turn of events in the Octagon cage.
They had never seen a boxer dare to challenge several opponents in one night within the same grade!
Everyone thought Qing Xiaotu was too arrogant.
But then, recalling the scene where Qing Xiaotu had cleanly defeated Xiao Taibao, they hesitated and found themselves at a loss for words.
Ten minutes after the host announced the new event, a peculiar phenomenon occurred in all the boxing rings in the Fourth District. The audiences that had been watching the matches seemed to receive messages from their friends, got up, and hurriedly headed out to the Begonia Boxing Gym.
With that, one-fifth of the audience left, leaving the other gyms noticeably emptier.
The owners of the gyms were baffled—what was happening?
In the Tianshou Boxing Gym, a staff member rushed in to report to the owner, “Something is going on at Begonia Boxing Gym! There’s a Tiger Grade Boxer who says he will fight six Tiger Grades in one go tonight and won’t leave the Octagon cage unless he finishes or dies in there!”
Zhang Tianshou, the owner of Tianshou Boxing Gym, was stunned, “Are you drunk on fake booze or something? Which Tiger Grade can endure six rounds of consecutive fights?”
“Really, boss,” the staff member insisted, agitated, “All the spectators from the Fourth District are heading there. The guy just knocked Xiao Taibao out and is about to start his second match.”
“I know Xiao Taibao. So what if he gets knocked out? Doesn’t he get knocked out once a week… He’s barely holding on to Tiger Grade because he’s E-Class; otherwise, he would have been demoted a long time ago,” Zhang Tianshou said.
“I feel this is different, boss. I heard people say that his opponent is making light work of him,” the staffer added.
Hearing this, Zhang Tianshou became serious.
Although Xiao Taibao was the weakest in Tiger Grade, he was still a bona fide Genetic Warrior with substantial physical stamina and resilience.
So when the staffer said that the opponent was playing with Xiao Taibao, Zhang Tianshou had to give it some thought, “What’s the name of the boxer who fought Xiao Taibao?”
“His name is Qing Xiaotu, they say he’s a newcomer,” replied the staff member.
Zhang Tianshou became curious, “Wait, isn’t Qing Xiaotu that newbie who made Huang Zixian cry? Are all newcomers this cocky?”
“Boss, he made Huang Zixian cry, being a bit conceited is only natural, right?” said the staff member.
“Damn, you make a good point,” Zhang Tianshou said grudgingly, “How did that snake of a woman Jiang Xiaotang manage to snag such a talented boxer?!”
