Episode 2: Bullet Chapter 2: Martial Arts Maniac Tian Gang (Part 1)

"Oh! Tian Gang, Mu Yi, my dear children, don't fight each other," Old Jack said in alarm, looking at them. "Can't you just teach others a lesson during the matches? You're both so powerful. One kick, and it's either you die or I die. I'll be sad if either of you gets hurt!" Old Jack had seen too many matches in the Underground Boxing Ring. One wrong move could lead to death or serious injury. He didn't want his two 'money trees' to harm each other.

Li Yang smiled slightly and remained silent. If their strengths were similar, a fight could indeed lead to accidental injury. However, Li Yang's strength far surpassed Tian Gang's now, making accidental injury impossible.

Tian Gang shot Old Jack a cold glance and said fiercely, "Old man, I'm not a fighter from the training camp. I don't have freedom! I came to the Underground Boxing Ring to fight strong opponents. If you keep blocking me, my agent will be Miss Mary tomorrow. Miss Mary has approached me several times already, hmph!"

Old Jack immediately dared not speak. Those fighters from the training camps had no freedom. When they joined those camps, they had contracts with them. They had to earn three million US dollars for the camp before they could regain their freedom. Under Old Jack, the other five fighters could not leave him.

But Tian Gang was different. Tian Gang came from China and was determined to find challenges in the Underground Boxing Ring. Old Jack, due to his fame, became his agent. However, there was a clause in the contract that allowed Tian Gang to leave Old Jack at any time. Li Yang was about to sign the same contract.

Tian Gang was rumored to come from an ancient family in China. He even took a Class 2 Gene Potion. No one knew how much money he had, but everyone knew one thing: Tian Gang didn't spend money at all. As one of the top ten fighters, his appearance fee exceeded one million US dollars. One could imagine how much money he earned, but he was very strict with himself and never spent money.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Be careful, my dear children!" Old Jack put on a concerned look, though perhaps his concern was only for his money.

Tian Gang's gaze returned to Li Yang, filled with fervor and fighting spirit.

"Mu Yi, let's fight right here!" Tian Gang's muscles were boiling. He had an urge to fight immediately. A strong person could only become stronger by fighting other strong people. It was this impulse that led him to leave his family and come abroad in anger.

Li Yang smiled slightly and said, "Sure, this place is quite spacious!"

Tian Gang and Li Yang immediately took their stances and looked at each other.

"Thump!" Tian Gang removed a weighted lead block from his leg and threw it on the ground.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"... Tian Gang took off his sweat-absorbing shirt. He was wearing a lead block vest, at least ten centimeters thick!

To everyone's astonishment, Tian Gang produced so many weighted lead blocks. The total weight of these blocks must have been several hundred pounds. The other five fighters couldn't understand how Tian Gang, with his relatively small frame, could carry so much weight. But they were equally shocked because they had never seen Tian Gang discard these lead blocks. This implied that Tian Gang carried several hundred pounds of weight in his daily life. While fighters carrying weights during training was normal, carrying so much weight in daily life was unimaginable, as muscles would likely get injured under such constant pressure.

"I respect you, so I've decided to fight you with all my strength!" Tian Gang looked at Li Yang with pride in his eyes. The reason he could always carry the weight without worrying about muscle strains was because he possessed the unique Internal Family True Qi of China. Internal Family True Qi frequently nourished his muscles, keeping them full of vitality. However, Internal Family True Qi that had just reached Hundred Crystals was not as effective in combat as his physical strength, which had reached Thousand Crystals.

"Attack!" Li Yang was too lazy to say anything. If he told others that he had Overlord Xiang Yu place a Gravity Restriction on him, causing him to constantly carry five thousand pounds of weight, they probably wouldn't believe him even if they heard it.

Gravity Restriction might be a common restriction in the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm regarded physical cultivation as the great Dao, and adding Gravity Restriction was a common method among various physical cultivation techniques.

However, even carrying five thousand pounds, with Li Yang's strength exceeding Ten Thousand Crystals, dealing with Tian Gang was still easy.

"Be careful!" Tian Gang shouted coldly. His body moved, and he instantly rushed to Li Yang like a phantom. His legs clamped down like vises, fiercely twisting towards Li Yang's body. Li Yang's expression was calm. With a slight shift of his foot, he evaded Tian Gang's attack.

Tian Gang immediately stood in the air and looked at Li Yang, saying in Chinese, "You also have Internal Family True Qi?" Tian Gang's speed was a combination of Qinggong and explosive physical strength. Li Yang moved after him and instantly evaded the attack, clearly indicating that Li Yang's speed far surpassed his. Hence, he made this deduction.

Li Yang heard his words and smiled, "You guessed right. I have Internal Family True Qi, and I've already reached the Innate Realm!"

Tian Gang was immediately stunned. He knew very well how powerful Innate True Qi was. It was energy measured in thousands of crystals. If Li Yang had truly reached the Innate Realm, then with Li Yang's internal energy and muscle strength exploding together, Tian Gang would have no power to counter.

"Don't worry, I'll only fight you with my muscle strength. However, in terms of movement speed, I can't just stand there and let you hit me, so using Innate True Qi is unavoidable." Li Yang seemed innocent. Tian Gang's expressionless face showed a rare hint of emotion, perhaps we could call it a 'smile.'

"Alright, I'll show you the powerful Chain Sweep Kick of the Underground Boxing Ring!" Tian Gang's expression returned to its usual stern and indifferent look. His feet moved like great sabers, wildly and consecutively slashing towards Li Yang. With the Chain Sweep Kick unleashed, Li Yang had no space to attack.

"You're strong, I'm stronger!"

Li Yang threw a whip kick, unleashing his powerful physical strength. The air vibrated violently, producing a whistling sound!

"Crack!"

Li Yang's right leg, like a powerful whip, fiercely struck Tian Gang's right leg. Tian Gang immediately felt a sharp pain in his right leg, and then it went numb, making it impossible to stand.

One strike and down!

Tian Gang sat on the ground helplessly. His right leg was completely immobile. Fortunately, Li Yang used a whip kick. Although it was gentle yet firm, it didn't break his leg. Tian Gang could use his True Qi to alleviate the pain, and he believed he would recover in a few days. But for now, he couldn't even move his right leg.

"I lost!" Tian Gang looked at Li Yang, his eyes filled with even more fervent fighting spirit. "But I won't give up. One day, I will definitely defeat you!"

Li Yang smiled slightly, "You're welcome to challenge me anytime!" Then Li Yang turned and walked towards the stunned Old Jack, unsure if Old Jack was shocked by the injury to his money tree, Tian Gang, or if he was stunned by Tian Gang being knocked down by Li Yang
