A bloodthirsty desire flared in Shaq's eyes. The power in his thick thighs increased by several degrees, and the fierce wind driven by his kick made the wealthy men and ladies below scream with excitement. Shaq smiled, because his leg was only a few centimeters from Li Yang's head...
Li Yang, who had stood proudly atop the ring without moving from beginning to end, moved in an instant. His body seemed like a phantom. With a slight dip, Li Yang easily dodged the kick, then suddenly lunged forward, his right knee violently crashing toward Shaq's abdomen.
Iron Knee Strike!
Bang! Li Yang's right knee smashed viciously into Shaq's abdomen. The expression on Shaq's face suddenly turned strange, as if he could not believe this had happened. H-how is this possible? Wasn't my Iron Leg only a few centimeters away from him just now? How... how could he be so fast? No, impossible! Panic flooded Shaq's heart.
Before Shaq could react, Li Yang accelerated again. Using the right knee buried in Shaq's abdomen as the pivot, a piercing whistle rose—"Whoosh, whoosh!" Li Yang's left leg spun one hundred and eighty degrees with terrifying force and smashed viciously into Shaq's body.
Spinning Kick!
Li Yang's powerful left leg carried immense force as it smashed into Shaq. Still immersed in the shock of what had just happened, Shaq had no time to react at all.
Boom!
Like a sandbag, Shaq was sent flying by Li Yang's Spinning Kick! Yes, sent flying! Shaq was kicked high into the air, hurled more than ten meters away by Li Yang's tremendous force, and flew straight out of the ring.
Pfft! Blood sprayed from Shaq's mouth like worthless tap water, scattering through the air above the boxing ring...
All the wealthy men and ladies beneath the stage fell silent in an instant. Not a single sound remained. At that moment, nearly everyone was stunned. Their earlier screams and cheers were lodged in their throats, unable to escape. They trembled as though they had suddenly reached climax, their eyes wide as they stared at the unbelievable scene before them.
Boom! As Shaq's massive body crashed limply onto the ground, the entire arena erupted. All the wealthy men and ladies around it howled loudly.
"Mu!"
"Mu!"
In an instant, Li Yang became their center. They had forgotten Madman Shaq, whom they had praised only moments ago. Now they went mad for Li Yang, mad for that earth-shattering kick of his!
Kicking a fighter straight out of the ring with one kick?
Had such a thing ever happened in the Underground Boxing Ring? No one knew. Even if it had happened in history, no one had ever done it as cleanly and decisively as Li Yang, or in such a thrilling fashion. Especially since Li Yang had seemed to be at death's door at the start—only to turn defeat into victory in an instant, winning with such utter crispness.
"Oh!!! The winner is the newcomer of our advanced boxing circuit—Mu Yi, from the mysterious and unbelievable eastern land of China! Oh! He is a genius, an absolute genius of the Underground Boxing Ring! I have never seen anyone use a Spinning Kick with such ferocity and such power! The Underground Boxing Ring is bound to experience a great earthquake, and our days ahead will be filled with even more passion because of Mu Yi's existence! Ladies and gentlemen, let us cheer for Mu Yi! Let us shout for his future!" The referee leaped onto the ring and shouted loudly, his voice amplified through the microphone and carried across the entire venue.
Cheers and cries rang throughout the arena. Not one spectator spared a glance for the once-arrogant Madman Shaq. The Underground Boxing Ring was this cruel. One second, you might be basking in everyone's cheers, with fistful after fistful of dollars in your hands. The next, you might lose everything.
"Oh, dear Mr. Mu Yi, say a few words to everyone. Let them know how excited you are right now?" the referee said to Li Yang.
A strange smile appeared on Li Yang's face. "Excited?" Li Yang could not understand it. Had he not merely displayed one-tenth of his physical energy and easily defeated someone with a mere 1,100 crystals of energy? Was that worth getting excited over? What a joke!
Li Yang's physical energy was close to 20,000 crystals. Even one-tenth of that was 2,000 crystals. In the current Underground Boxing Ring, top-tier fighters all had more than 1,000 crystals, but none had reached 2,000. Even Demon King-class experts had not reached 2,000 crystals. Li Yang's decision to display one-tenth of his power meant that he had decided to establish an absolutely invincible image in the Underground Boxing Ring!
Faint threads of icy aura surrounded Li Yang, a coldness that kept others a thousand miles away. He did not deliberately create it; it was an aura that naturally radiated from his temperament, a feeling that struck directly at the soul. From the moment he had stepped into the ring, Li Yang had stood there in such indifference. Even now, he remained just as cold, as though kicking Shaq out of the ring had never happened at all. Perhaps to Li Yang, it was not worth mentioning in the first place.
Li Yang glanced at the referee waiting for him to speak. The cold gleam in that look made the referee's heart shudder involuntarily, and a trace of fear rose within him.
Li Yang looked proudly over all the people below. Then suddenly—
Whoosh! Li Yang threw a side kick with his right leg. The terrifying force of it compressed the air in an instant. In the direction of his kick, the compressed air shot forward as though it were solid.
Boom! The leg wind slammed viciously into one of the ring's support pillars, producing a thunderous roar.
Leg wind—leg wind capable of attacking like a tangible object.
When leg speed reached a terrifying level, the air would be compressed before it even had time to flow. The pressure of that compressed air increased enormously, forming a different kind of leg wind along with the leg. This was leg wind capable of attacking like a solid object.
Ordinary leg wind was merely wind generated by normal air, and its attack power alone was not great. But once the air was compressed, its pressure increased enormously, and the resulting leg wind could produce terrifying destructive power. Moreover, when it struck an opponent, the high-pressure air could even trigger an instant Air Burst!
Looking at the stunned crowd below, Li Yang stood atop the ring and looked down upon them.
"I am invincible!"
Li Yang's cold voice echoed throughout the entire boxing arena. Before entering the Underground Boxing Ring, he had already made up his mind. He would present himself before everyone there with absolute dominance. This would also lay the groundwork for his future plans.
Only after a long while did the audience awaken from their stupor. Only then did they understand what they had witnessed!
The referee came to his senses as well and immediately shouted, "Oh, heavens, that was an Air Burst—absolutely an Air Burst! In the entire Underground Boxing Ring, only three people possess such a supreme technique. From today onward, there is finally a fourth person with such a technique! How terrifying must his leg speed be to create such frightening leg wind, such an incredible Air Burst? Oh, ladies and gentlemen, let us cheer for Mu!"
"Mu!"
"Mu!"
Li Yang walked off the stage amid the crowd's cheers, still wearing that cold expression. The moment Old Jack saw Li Yang descend from the ring, he hurried over. Old Jack seemed both delighted and annoyed. "My dear Mu Yi, how could you reveal such tremendous power? You should have narrowly defeated Madman Shaq. That way, we could have earned plenty more dollars from the betting pools later! Exposing your true strength was truly a foolish move. Fistful after fistful of dollars have slipped away from us just like that!"
Li Yang suddenly smiled faintly. Looking at Old Jack's bitter melon face, he said, "There is a betting limit in the Underground Boxing Ring. I do not care about that little money. Besides, my purpose in entering the Underground Boxing Ring is to become a Demon King."
