Shaque's eyes glinted with bloodthirsty desire. The strength in his thick thighs increased, and the gust of wind generated by his leg power sent the wealthy ladies and gentlemen below into excited screams. Shaque smiled, for his leg was only centimeters away from Li Yang's head...

Li Yang, who had stood motionless on the boxing ring from beginning to end, suddenly moved. Li Yang's body was like a phantom. He ducked low, easily evading the kick, and then surged forward. His right knee immediately slammed into Shaque's abdomen.

Iron Knee Strike!

"Bang!" Li Yang's right knee smashed hard into Shaque's abdomen. Shaque's expression instantly turned bizarre, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. "H-how is that possible? Just now, just now my iron leg was only centimeters away from him? How could he be so fast? No, it's impossible!" Shaque's heart was in chaos.

Before Shaque could react, Li Yang's figure accelerated again. Using his right knee, which had just struck Shaque's abdomen, as a pivot, he let out a "whoosh—" sharp whistling sound. Li Yang's left leg, carrying terrifying power, spun 180 degrees and smashed into Shaque's body.

Spinning Kick!

Li Yang's powerful left leg, carrying immense force, slammed hard into Shaque. Shaque, still lost in the shock of the previous moment, had no time to react at all.

"Boom!"

Like a sandbag, Shaque was sent flying by Li Yang's spinning kick! Yes, sent flying! Shaque was launched into the air, propelled by Li Yang's immense power over ten meters away, flying right out of the boxing ring.

"Pfft!" Blood gushed from Shaque's mouth like cheap tap water, scattering in the air above the boxing ring...

All the wealthy ladies and gentlemen below instantly fell silent, not a sound to be heard. In that moment, almost everyone was stunned. Their earlier screams and cheers were stuck in their throats, unable to escape. They were all trembling as if experiencing a sudden climax, their eyes wide, looking at everything in disbelief.

"Boom!" As Shaque's massive body fell powerlessly to the ground, the entire arena erupted. All the surrounding wealthy ladies and gentlemen roared.

"Mu!"

"Mu!"

In an instant, Li Yang became the center of their attention. They forgot about the madman Shaque they had been cheering for just moments ago. Now, they were crazy for Li Yang, crazy for his earth-shattering kick!

Kicking a fighter clean out of the ring with a single leg?

Was this possible in the Underground Boxing Ring? They didn't know. Even if it had happened in history, no one had ever done it as cleanly and excitingly as Li Yang. Especially considering Li Yang had been on the brink of death moments before, only to instantly turn the tables and win so decisively.

"Oh!!! The victor is the newcomer to our High-Level Boxing Ring – Mu Yi from the East, from incredible China! Oh! He's a genius, an absolute genius of the Underground Boxing Ring! I've never seen anyone use the Spinning Kick with such ferocity and power! The Underground Boxing Ring is about to experience a major earthquake, and our future days will be filled with more passion because of Mu Yi's existence! Ladies and gentlemen, let us cheer for Mu Yi! Let us hail his future!" The referee rushed onto the ring, shouting loudly, his voice amplified by the microphone to the entire venue.

Cheers and shouts echoed throughout the entire arena. No spectator spared a glance at the once arrogant madman Shaque. The Underground Boxing Ring was this cruel. One moment, you might be basking in the cheers of others, you might possess vast sums of US dollars, but the next moment, you could lose everything.

"Oh, my dear Mr. Mu Yi, would you say a few words to everyone, to let them know your excitement at this moment?" the referee asked Li Yang.

A strange smile flickered across Li Yang's face. "Excitement?" Li Yang couldn't understand. He had only displayed one-tenth of his physical energy, easily eliminating a guy with only 1100 crystals of energy. Was that something for Li Yang to be excited about? It was truly laughable!

Li Yang's physical energy was close to 20,000 crystals. Even one-tenth of that was 2,000 crystals. Currently, top fighters in the Underground Boxing Ring were all above 1,000 crystals, but none had reached 2,000 crystals. Even Demon King-level experts hadn't reached 2,000 crystals. Li Yang's decision to display one-tenth of his energy was a deliberate move to establish an image of absolute invincibility in the Underground Boxing Ring!

A faint, chilling aura surrounded Li Yang's body. It was a coldness that kept people at a distance, not something Li Yang deliberately created, but an aura that naturally emanated from his demeanor, a feeling that touched one's soul! Li Yang had stood there coldly since stepping onto the stage, and he remained so now, as if the kick that had sent Shaque flying had never happened. Perhaps, to Li Yang, it was not even worth mentioning.

Li Yang glanced at the referee, who was waiting for him to speak. That cold glance made the referee involuntarily flinch, and a sense of fear crept into his heart.

Li Yang looked proudly at the crowd below, and suddenly—

"Whoosh!" Li Yang threw a side kick with his right leg. The terrifying leg power compressed the air instantly. In the direction of Li Yang's kick, the compressed air seemed to become solid and shot forward.

With a "boom!" sound, one of the ring's support pillars was struck by Li Yang's Leg Wind, emitting a violent roar.

Leg Wind, capable of attacking like a solid object.

When leg speed reaches a terrifying level, the air doesn't have time to flow and is compressed. The pressure of the compressed air greatly increases, and it forms a unique Leg Wind with the leg. This Leg Wind can attack like a solid object.

Ordinary Leg Wind is just normal air creating wind, and its attack power is not significant. However, with increased compressed air pressure, the resulting Leg Wind will generate terrifying attack power. Furthermore, upon hitting the opponent, the high-pressure air can even cause an Air Burst!

Watching the stunned crowd below, Li Yang stood on the ring, looking down at them.

"I am invincible!"

Li Yang's cold voice echoed throughout the entire boxing venue. Before entering the Underground Boxing Ring, he had already decided that he would present himself to everyone in the Underground Boxing Ring with absolute dominance. This was also a stepping stone for his future plans.

After a while, the audience finally snapped back to reality. Only now did they understand what they had just witnessed!

The referee also came to his senses and immediately shouted, "Oh, my god, that was an Air Burst! Absolutely an Air Burst! There are only three people in the entire Underground Boxing Ring who possess such a unique skill. From today onwards, the Underground Boxing Ring finally has a fourth person with this ultimate technique! What terrifying leg speed is required to generate such terrifying Leg Wind and such a powerful Air Burst? Oh, ladies and gentlemen, let us cheer for Mu!"

"Mu!"

"Mu!"

Li Yang descended from the stage amidst the cheers. He still maintained his cool demeanor. Old Jack saw Li Yang coming off the stage and immediately rushed over. Old Jack seemed both happy and annoyed. "My dear Mu Yi, how could you display such immense power? You should have narrowly defeated that madman Shaque, so we could have earned more US dollars on the betting odds! Displaying your full strength was a foolish move, and we've lost a fortune because of it!"

Li Yang suddenly smiled slightly and glanced at the crestfallen Old Jack. "There's a limit to the bets in the Underground Boxing Ring, and I don't care about that small amount of money. Besides, my purpose for entering the Underground Boxing Ring is to become the Demon King."
