As Su Ti observed Black Bear, three minutes quickly passed.

All the spectators had placed their bets, and this underground boxing match, named Death Fight, was about to officially begin.

"Since our random challenger is participating for the first time, before the official start, I need to introduce him to the rules of the match."

On the second floor, the Silver-Patterned Mask Man, protected by numerous men in black suits, revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

"The rules are simple: you win if you come out alive, and you lose if you die."

"The winner takes all. As a random challenger, if you win, you can receive an appearance fee of up to 100,000 yuan, as well as the status of a professional boxer."

Money was an excellent bargaining chip to stimulate the fighters in the arena to fight desperately.

However, Su Ti believed that no innocent passerby would truly step onto this life-and-death arena for 100,000 yuan to entertain others. At least, he wouldn't, and neither would his two deceased predecessors. They were all forced into this.

"Although it's a pity that among the random challengers in the past few sessions, no one has achieved this honor."

"There are no referees, no scoring, and no restrictions on moves throughout the match. Gouging throats, digging eyes, kicking the groin, biting people—you can use whatever you want. Conversely, the same applies to your opponent."

"However..."

The Silver-Patterned Mask Man took a sip of red wine from his glass, drawing out his words.

"Given the vast disparity in strength between the random challenger and our professional boxer, which lacks viewing appeal, our organizers can provide him with a weapon."

The Silver-Patterned Mask Man waved his hand, and soon a black-suited guard came to Su Ti's side with a tray.

Su Ti lifted the cloth covering it and found that the item on the tray was actually a dagger.

Moreover, it was a military dagger, with a blood groove and serrations, exceptionally sharp.

Black Bear looked at Su Ti and did not panic because of this weapon. Instead, a cruel, ferocious smile appeared on his face under the mask, and he made a gesture of invitation.

There was a huge difference between fighting bare-handed and fighting with a weapon.

Although the dagger was small, it had the ability to break through defenses and deliver a fatal blow. Even if he was stabbed once, he would be severely injured, or even die on the spot.

However...

At this time, most of the spectators in the venue had the same expression as Black Bear, full of amusement and mockery.

If having a weapon was truly useful, none of the previous random challengers would have won.

Because this wasn't the difference between having a weapon and being empty-handed. An ordinary person with a weapon might have a chance to defeat a professional boxer from the surface world, but professional boxers and professional underground boxers were completely different professions, with a world of difference between them.

One was about scoring points, winning by points, and knocking out the opponent, while the other was an unrestricted bare-handed killing profession.

In this regard, the mindset and techniques of professional underground boxers far surpassed those of ordinary people. A sheep with a weapon was still a sheep, while they were wolves.

"I refuse to use a weapon."

Su Ti pushed the tray away, his expression cold.

Refusing to use a weapon wasn't because he was being arrogant.

Although he now possessed Comprehensive Fighting Techniques at the great success level, his body was still that of a nineteen-year-old slender youth, putting him at an absolute disadvantage in terms of hardware.

His only advantage now was his technical advantage.

And Comprehensive Fighting Techniques were bare-handed combat techniques; they did not include techniques for fighting with weapons. If he took the dagger, it would actually reduce Su Ti's combat effectiveness.

"What?"

"Refuse?! Is he crazy?"

Su Ti's voice wasn't loud, but the venue was silent at this time, and most of the spectators heard him.

Although there was a huge gap between ordinary people and professional underground boxers, a weapon could somewhat compensate for it. Although the ultimate fate of ordinary people was still death, having a weapon at least offered the possibility of winning, no matter how slim that possibility was.

But a random participant who directly gave up a weapon—they had watched so many matches, and this was the first time they had seen one.

Even the most timid participant wouldn't give up this last means of survival. Even if they were trembling in a corner with a dagger, they would hold onto it tightly.

"Giving up? Interesting. Since the participant has requested it, we will respect his choice!"

The Silver-Patterned Mask Man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Without further ado, he waved his hand. The Black-Patterned Mask Man below immediately understood and had the irrelevant personnel leave the arena. Then, he closed the door of the octagon cage and locked it completely!

The moment the door was locked, the Silver-Patterned Mask Man roared loudly.

"I announce, the match officially begins!"

Almost the moment the word "begins" was shouted, Black Bear charged towards the slender Su Ti like a wild beast.

But Su Ti was faster than him. He had already rushed out before the word "begins" was shouted and was now close to Black Bear.

Seeing the slender Su Ti charging towards him, the massive Black Bear was stunned for a moment. In his memory, no random participant had ever dared to charge towards him. Almost all random participants would shrink back in a corner with a dagger, waiting for him to attack.

Therefore, Su Ti's proactive attack truly surprised Black Bear, and even the spectators below were stunned for a moment.

However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.

Su Ti charged towards Black Bear's left side, and while the opponent was stunned, he suddenly disappeared with a low crouch.

The sudden loss of vision made Black Bear instinctively turn, but the injury to his left foot slowed him down just a little.

However, it was just that little bit. A great force came from his heel. Normally, this force would not be able to trip Black Bear, but now he was turning, his center of gravity was unstable, and his left leg, which had an old injury, received a heavy blow. For a moment, the world spun, and his sturdy body fell backward.

As soon as he touched the ground, a tearing pain came from his left foot, causing Black Bear to let out a heaven-shattering scream!

The entire audience was dumbfounded, because at this moment, Black Bear's left leg ligaments and joints were completely torn, and his heavy foot dangled from his calf like an ornament, swinging back and forth.

And the one who did all this was naturally Su Ti.

He first avoided the front, circled to Black Bear's side and back, then swept Black Bear's injured leg with a ground sweep. Then, taking advantage of the moment he fell, he clamped the opponent's ankle with his armpit, and using Black Bear's falling weight and his own strength, he directly applied a Straight Ankle Lock.

This Straight Ankle Lock was not aimed at submission. There were no ring rules like stopping once the position was secured. His move was meant to cripple the opponent's leg!

The mastery-level Comprehensive Fighting Techniques allowed Su Ti's combat experience to skyrocket. Coupled with Black Bear's underestimation, his movements were like flowing clouds and water. In an instant, Black Bear's ankle was completely torn!

Su Ti was not careless. After crippling Black Bear's leg, he immediately released the Straight Ankle Lock and retreated to the side, avoiding any further close contact with Black Bear.

"My... my foot, my foot!"

Black Bear did not pursue. At this moment, he was holding his calf and screaming loudly, his voice filled with immense pain.

His left ankle was completely torn, the joint completely dislocated. Only some flesh and skin inside the foot remained connected to the calf, rendering it completely useless.

Human joints are very fragile, especially the ankle joint which supports the body's weight. This level of injury is basically impossible to fully heal.

What awaited Black Bear was not only the end of his professional career but also disability for the rest of his life.

Excruciating pain, fear, shock!

Black Bear never expected that he would suffer a crushing defeat in a "performance match," facing a mere sacrificial lamb and suffering a lifelong disabling injury.

The immense pain and anger made his eyes red and filled him with rage.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you, ahhh!!"

There are only wrong names, never wrong nicknames. Black Bear lived up to his name. Even with a crippling injury, he only screamed for a moment before transforming into a raging bear in extreme anger and getting back up from the ground.

Looking at Su Ti, who had retreated to the corner of the ring, Black Bear suppressed the pain in his extreme rage, roared, dragged his injured leg, hopped on one leg, spread his arms, and pounced towards the opponent like a raging bear.

Su Ti had long been wary of his counterattack. At this moment, he ducked and slipped under Black Bear's embrace, avoiding any frontal contact with Black Bear.

Although severely injured, Black Bear still had a huge advantage.

His physique was more than twice that of Su Ti, and he had also practiced the martial art Bear Wrestling Hand. His massive hands possessed infinite strength. As long as he grabbed his opponent, it was like a black bear catching prey, capable of tearing the opponent apart!

"I'm going to press your head against the iron cage and force it through the bars, crushing your head, ah!!"

Being avoided by Su Ti, Black Bear roared and pounced at Su Ti again.

Su Ti ducked again, dodging Black Bear's pounce and grab. He had no doubt that Black Bear was telling the truth. The blood and hair on the steel bars were left by the two predecessors.

They were both caught by Black Bear and had their heads forcibly squeezed into the gaps between the steel bars, which were less than half the size of a head, resulting in their deaths by head explosion.

Although Black Bear was injured, his strength and size still crushed him. If he were caught, Su Ti's fate would be the same as the two predecessors.

But despite this, Su Ti was not at all panicked or afraid at this moment.

His heart was pounding, but his head was as cold as ice.

Although he had mastery-level Comprehensive Fighting Techniques, technique was ultimately just technique. Su Ti was so calm, perhaps because it was his nature to remain fearless in times of crisis. The battle at this moment completely ignited his instincts. His chest felt as if it were burning with fire, his blood seemed to boil, but his brain was incredibly calm and rapidly processing.

He calmly tracked Black Bear's movements, skillfully dodging the one-legged Black Bear's pounces with his healthy legs.

His slender physique was not entirely a disadvantage; at least at this moment, it became Su Ti's advantage.

He was like a nimble monkey dodging in front of a massive black bear, constantly avoiding the clumsy black bear's pounces and grabs.

Again and again.

Even though one mistake would be enough to kill Su Ti, he relied on his calm personality to dodge all of Black Bear's dozens of pounces. In the most dangerous instance, Black Bear's hand had already grabbed Su Ti's clothes and was about to pull him over, but Su Ti instantly slipped out of his shirt and escaped!

That was the most dangerous moment, because once caught by Black Bear, under absolute strength, Su Ti would be dead end, no matter how high his technique was.

And after Su Ti resolved the certain death situation, being avoided dozens of times in a row, Black Bear's physical exertion was also immense.

This was actually normal, because Black Bear's weight base was there. Hopping on one leg definitely consumed much more energy than usual. However, the enraged Black Bear did not notice this.

When his anger gradually subsided due to physical exhaustion, he felt a slight dizziness in his head, and his vision even turned black.

This was caused by oxygen deprivation from a large amount of physical exertion in a short period.

For a professional fighter like him, failing to control his physical exertion and being completely consumed by anger was a serious mistake.

And it was this dizziness that caused Black Bear's body to sway for a moment. A cold glint flashed in Su Ti's eyes.

At this moment, his upper body was already bare. The short-sleeved T-shirt had been torn by Black Bear in the previous attack. After paying a lot of time and risk, he finally waited for the opportunity he wanted!

Now that the opportunity finally appeared, Su Ti did not hesitate. Like a beast seizing an attack opportunity, he instantly pounced.

He performed a flying crab ride from Jiu-Jitsu, clamping Black Bear's supporting right leg with his legs like scissors. In the interval when Black Bear was dizzy from physical exhaustion, Su Ti squeezed his legs with force, successfully tripping the opponent using his weight and joint advantage.

After Black Bear fell to the ground with a crash, Su Ti quickly changed the position of his legs, clamping the opponent's thigh, and fixed his hands through the opponent's ankle. The set of movements was like being tempered a thousand times, completed in an instant like flowing clouds and water!

At this moment, Black Bear had just fallen to the ground and hadn't had time to react when a sharp pain came from his ankle and knee joints.

Heel Hook!

"Ahhh!!"

In terms of the degree of damage to the joints, the Heel Hook was even more destructive than the Straight Ankle Lock.

Su Ti's Heel Hook directly twisted and broke multiple joints in Black Bear's right leg, including the ankle and knee, causing extensive ligament tears.

And this was not over yet. Taking advantage of Black Bear's intense pain, Su Ti, like a nimble snake, changed his position again. His lower body wrapped around Black Bear's right leg, while his upper body moved to Black Bear's left leg. He clasped his hands around his chest, gripping the opponent's left thigh. His entire body was like a giant python wrapped around Black Bear's legs, pulling them apart.

Su Ti gritted his teeth and exerted force, his face flushed red. Black Bear only felt immense pain coming from the roots of his inner thighs. Due to their position, he couldn't attack Su Ti at all and could only scream in agony, slamming the floor frantically.

Just then, two cracking sounds of joints breaking echoed. Black Bear's eyes widened like a fish out of water, and his screams abruptly stopped.

Su Ti released his hands and moved away from Black Bear's body.

That Buttocks Ripping Choke just now had completely fractured Black Bear's hip joints and torn his thigh ligaments. Now, those two legs had nothing to do with him anymore.

The audience below was dumbfounded at this point, completely unprepared for the sudden turn of events. However, Su Ti did not stop.

Black Bear had already fainted from the pain, lying on the ground. Su Ti showed no mercy because of this. He went up and immediately applied a Kimura Lock, directly breaking the shoulder joint of his left arm.

Black Bear woke up from the intense pain, but before he could scream, Su Ti had already grabbed his right arm, positioned himself for an Armbar, and directly fell to the ground to apply the Armbar.

Although Black Bear struggled frantically during this time, under the immense structural advantage of this human mechanics, his powerful strength was of little use.

With a click, his right elbow joint twisted into an inverted V shape.

With all four limbs broken, Black Bear could only lie on the ground like a pile of mud, crying and wailing in pain.

His miserable appearance and condition sent shivers down the spines of the audience, who were accustomed to bloody scenes.

The Silver-Patterned Mask Man on the second floor slightly opened his mouth. The female mask pouring wine for him beside him didn't even notice the wine spilling from the cup, still staring at the ring, foolishly pouring red wine.

The Black-Patterned Mask Man guarding the ring also had his mouth slightly open at this moment, his face full of shock.

But Su Ti on the stage didn't care about any of this. He grabbed Black Bear by the hair with one hand, used all his strength, and dragged his sturdy body to one side of the ring.

This position was perfect for seeing the two bodies covered with white cloths below the stage.

"You like killing people very much?"

Su Ti asked, holding the head of the incapacitated Black Bear with one hand and pressing it against the steel bars.

Black Bear was still groaning. The next second, Su Ti grabbed his head and slammed it heavily against the iron cage.

"I'm asking you if you fucking like killing people?!"

Blood flowed from Black Bear's head. The intense pain woke him up. At this moment, where was the high spirits he had at the start of the match? His heart was already filled with fear.

"P-please spare me, please."

"Spare you?"

Su Ti didn't notice at all that he was grinning ferociously at this moment. He slightly lifted Black Bear's hair with his right hand, making him face the two corpses outside, while roaring in his ear.

"Ask them if they agree?"

Saying that, he directly wrapped his left arm around Black Bear's neck, tightened his right arm, and applied force.

This was the strongest killing move in jiu-jitsu.

Rear Naked Choke!

"I'm asking you, ask them if they agree?!"

He roared out, turning all the fear, suppression, and despair he felt upon arriving here into anger, constantly tightening his hands and strangling with force!

Black Bear wanted to struggle, but with all his limbs broken, he was no match for Su Ti. His face turned red, his eyes rolled back, and finally, under Su Ti's Rear Naked Choke, he slowly stopped struggling.

But Su Ti did not stop. After Black Bear lost strength, he continued to strangle him for dozens of seconds!

Finally, confirming that Black Bear was completely dead, Su Ti released his hands.

Thud.

Black Bear's body fell heavily onto the ring.

The entire venue was silent.
