Chapter 281: 221. The New King’s Coronation (10,000-word mega chapter added for Golden League)_4
All the boxing gyms in Fourth District were competing businesses, as the charm of their fights and the fame of their boxers dictated their success. Thus, businesses took turns thriving while each gym tirelessly scouted for new talent.
Sometimes, if a promising newcomer in the lower grades was found, gyms would even sign long-term service agreements with them, offering Genetic Potions for free.
To elevate a lower-grade boxer to Tiger Grade required two Genetic Potions, but a proficient Tiger Grade boxer could help a gym recoup that investment within a few years.
Moreover, nurturing their own boxers also protected them from other gyms challenging them—considered core, direct lineage.
At that moment, an employee whispered, “Boss, I’ve got some news from my cousin who works at Begonia Boxing Gym. Allegedly, Jiang Xiaotang has acknowledged Qing Xiaotu as her brother and even gave him access to her 001VIP room as well as a share of the Land Cruise Grade Boxing King’s profits.”
“Such high profits for a Tiger Grade?” Zhang Tianshou frowned, “That’s against the rules!”
“Boss, what do we do now?” the employee asked.
“Who are the opponents Qing Xiaotu will be facing next?”
“Lin Yuhui, Li Lin, Qi He, Lu Wei, and Li Ziming.”
“Oh,” Zhang Tianshou paused, “I thought Jiang Xiaotang would pull together five weaklings to pave the way for Qing Xiaotu, but these five left are tough nuts. And isn’t Li Ziming the Tiger Grade Boxing King from Begonia, and their top loyal fighter? Jiang Xiaotang is actually willing to use Li Ziming as a stepping stone for Qing Xiaotu?!”
Now, Zhang Tianshou was baffled. What was Jiang Xiaotang up to?
Something wasn’t right. Although a ruthless strategist, Jiang Xiaotang always played by the rules.
What was Qing Xiaotu’s relationship with her, to make her break them?
At that moment, in the VIP room of Begonia Boxing Gym, Li Yinuo was quietly staring at the Octagon cage, murmuring, “This is insane.”
She hadn’t anticipated such a fierce contender from Knight.
Although Knights were strong, with the ceiling of physical ability being similar between them, their advantage only became apparent upon reaching B-Class, where they also acquired the Autumn Leaf Knife.
Thus, Knights had remained low-profile until they reached B-Class.
Li Yinuo turned to the others in the room, only to find Li Tongyun, Nan Gengchen, and Qing Shi leaning against the glass, intently watching, creating a rather bizarre scene.
“Are you that invested in this? It’s just a one-sided fight,” Li Yinuo asked.
Li Tongyun sweetly replied, “I just love watching Brother Xiaotu overpower others.”
Qing Shi also smiled sweetly, “He’s ‘cute and adorable,’ can write poetry, and fight in the Octagon. He’s truly a versatile genius!”
Li Yinuo muttered, “Hey, I feel like you’re getting too involved. Would Qing’s Family really agree to you being with an underground boxer?”
“It’s not about getting together,” Qing Shi blushed, “We’re just friends! Speaking of which, Yinuo, I heard you got so buff to avoid being married off to someone else, is that true?”
Li Yinuo glanced sideways at her, “Yes.”
Qing Shi pondered, “Could you teach me? I don’t want to be married off either…”
Suddenly, Nan Gengchen said, “I’ll go call the waiter to get some food and drinks. You guys chat first.”
…
…
The second match against Lin Yuhui.
There was no trash talk this time as the host hurriedly announced the entry of the Tiger Grade boxer Lin Yuhui.
Before the match, his coach specifically warned him to guard against Qing Chen’s Jujitsu and maintain a safe distance, to avoid the battle going to the ground and being floored.
A Jujitsu expert excels at drawing opponents to the ground and using their agile and strong bodies to firmly lock down an enemy.
However, Lin Yuhui felt something unusual; when the fight started, the young opponent didn’t seem keen on taking him down but instead, like Lin, was maintaining a safe distance and testing each other.
Moreover, the youth’s posture was peculiar; his weight was primarily on his left foot and leg.
His torso slightly bent, arms faintly blocking his front.
Muay Thai? Lin Yuhui thought, but why has the opponent switched fighting styles?
In fact, this martial art known as Kill Fist in the Inner World has another name in the Outer World—Muay Thai.
Both were circling each other in the Octagon cage, frequently swapping positions but neither committing rashly.
Qing Chen tried a right kick at Lin Yuhui’s lower leg, but when Lin raised his leg to dodge, his arms involuntarily swung outward.
Now’s the time!
With a burst of Thunder, all of Qing Chen’s weight focused on his left leg and foot, the support from the floor transmitting through his body as his feint low right kick suddenly lifted!
Muay Thai thrust kick!
As Lin Yuhui’s arms swung, Qing Chen’s right leg, like a spear, thrust through, his right heel striking hard on the opponent’s jaw.
Lin Yuhui’s arms tried to defend, but how could they withstand that kick?
With a ‘crack’ sound, his arms and jawbone fractured!
The leg strength of a Tiger Grade boxer was enough to disregard their weight difference, and under the force of the kick, Lin Yuhui’s body lost balance and flew backwards!
He crashed heavily against the Black Octagon cage!
“Next,” Qing Chen said.
The young man stood in the cage, breathing lightly.
The spectators cursed, “Lin Yuhui is too foolish! How could he not guard against such an obvious kick?!”
