"Won! He actually won!"
When the referee announced Blue-Faced Ghost's victory, Liu San'er was stunned for several seconds before reacting and shouting excitedly.
Sister Hua, standing beside him, looked at Li Fei in the boxing ring with a surprised expression.
The reason he was able to do so well in Qingyuan Fist Fortress was entirely due to his good eye for talent, having discovered many powerful boxers.
Black Mountain, whom he had just signed tonight, had excellent Innate physical qualities. He had worked in the mines outside Xing City for five years, which not only honed his strength but also developed his martial skills.
Sister Hua knew that the black mines outside Xing City were not peaceful places. Fights, brawls, and even killings were common.
In the past two years, Black Mountain had relied on his excellent physical condition to gain some fame in the mines. Later, he was spotted by a Martial Warrior and learned martial arts for three years.
Black Mountain came to Qingyuan Fist Fortress to box in order to save money to buy an Implant on the Black Market and become a formal Martial Warrior.
Sister Hua had high hopes for this person, believing that he would be able to enter the Heaven Grade Boxing Ring in the future.
But he was defeated in his first debut battle, and didn't even last five seconds!
While he was pondering, Li Fei had already come down from the boxing ring and walked up to him.
Before Li Fei could speak, Sister Hua's face blossomed into a bright smile: "Oh, I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
As she spoke, she took out a stack of banknotes from a leather wallet and handed them to Li Fei:
"Here, this is one hundred yuan. Consider the extra as an apology from me. Don't take my previous words to heart."
Li Fei was a little surprised by the other party's reaction, but there was no need to argue with money, so he took the banknotes.
Sister Hua's smile grew even brighter, her eyes fixed on Li Fei:
"Young man, you're so powerful, why don't you consider letting me be your agent? I guarantee I can make you a well-known boxer in Qingyuan Fist Fortress in the shortest amount of time, bringing you both fame and fortune!"
He actually wanted to sign Li Fei.
This sudden change of attitude was a bit ridiculous, but he didn't care at all.
As long as he could make money, what did face matter? "Sister Hua..."
Liu San'er was stunned. The joy of winning the bet instantly vanished.
Sister Hua turned her head and gave him a fierce look, preventing him from continuing to speak.
Then, Sister Hua looked at Li Fei, her face blooming with a smile again:
"A boxer's agent is very important. They can help you arrange the most winnable and high-profile matches, making it easier for you to earn money. They can also introduce you to powerful patrons. If these people are happy, a random reward from them will be more than you earn from ten boxing matches."
Speaking of this, he pointed to Liu San'er and said mercilessly: "This little wretch is the lowest-level boxer agent here. He has no resources at all. If you follow him, you're destined to have a hard time getting ahead. But I'm different. You can ask around and you'll know my reputation here. All the boxers under me have made money."
Liu San'er was demeaned by Sister Hua in front of his face, but he couldn't refute it. He opened his mouth, looked at Li Fei, and couldn't say a word.
His expression was dismal.
Sister Hua could snatch the boxer he found right in front of him, but he couldn't resist at all, and couldn't even speak up for himself.
This was the way of the world.
Li Fei glanced at the lowered head of Liu San'er. The other party's expression was the same as when he had finally waited for an opportunity in his previous life, only to have it snatched away by a colleague with a better background.
Helpless, helpless.
He looked at Sister Hua's confident face with calm eyes and said:
"No need."
Liu San'er suddenly raised his head, and the smile on Sister Hua's face froze.
Li Fei then walked to the registration area to collect his reward for this match.
Because it was a debut battle between two newcomers, the reward was only the minimum of 5 yuan.
After receiving the reward, Li Fei walked to Liu San'er, who was still in a daze: "How much did I win from the bet?"
Only then did Liu San'er wake up from his dream and excitedly said to Li Fei:
"Wait a minute, I'll go exchange it for you right away!"
Soon, he ran back with a pile of banknotes and handed all the money in his hand to Li Fei.
Li Fei took the money and counted it, finding a total of 104 yuan.
"So much?"
He was a little surprised.
Liu San'er explained, "Your odds against Black Mountain just now were 1:1.3, and I also bet 20 yuan on you to win. This is the 80 yuan capital and the winnings, all for you."
"Alright."
Li Fei didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Seeing him accept all the money, Liu San'er's face lit up with a smile, happier than if he had earned that much himself. "I'll arrange your next match as soon as possible. You've already won one match, and won so beautifully. Your next opponent will be tougher, and the reward will be higher."
Li Fei suddenly asked, "Are there any formal Martial Warriors in the Heaven Grade Boxing Ring?"
Liu San'er said, "Yes, in the entire Xing City, only Qingyuan Fist Fortress allows formal Martial Warriors to compete in the boxing ring."
Li Fei nodded. Martial Path cultivation was too expensive. It was normal for those Martial Warriors without background support to come here to box and earn money.
"When can I fight in the Heaven Grade Boxing Ring?"
Li Fei asked.
Liu San'er said without thinking, "Ring ascension requires fighting in a Ring Ascension Battle, which requires an application to the Fist Fortress. But if you show the strength to sweep all opponents in the same level boxing ring, the Fist Fortress will arrange a Ring Ascension Battle for you as soon as possible. Otherwise, the match will lose its suspense, and all the spectators will bet on you to win."
"Mm."
Li Fei nodded. When he fought Black Mountain tonight, he activated 'Blood Rage' right from the start, and consumed two Blood Souls at once, precisely for this consideration.
In addition, his public identity was Hao Yi's student, majoring in the Heavenly Gang Overlord Body, which focused on defense. Secretly, he was boxing at Qingyuan Fist Fortress as the Blue-Faced Ghost. To better conceal his identity, his fighting style should also be changed, so he decided not to use the Heavenly Gang Overlord Body, but to focus on offense, using 'Blood Rage' as his core method.
In this way, even if Li Fei or the Blue-Faced Ghost became more and more famous in the future, it would be difficult for others to connect the two identities.
Li Fei was cautious, and he had thought about these things in advance before deciding to fight in the Black Market.
"How will we contact each other later?"
Liu San'er asked.
Li Fei said, "I will come here to box every night at 9 PM. Arrange it for me in advance, and we'll meet at the entrance of the Fist Fortress then."
"Okay, no problem."
Liu San'er nodded in agreement.
"That's it for tonight."
Li Fei said finally, then turned and left.
He earned a total of 144 yuan tonight, more than Li Lei's monthly salary!
But this was not his biggest gain tonight.
After activating 'Blood Rage' in the boxing ring earlier, Li Fei once again felt movement from the Steel Armor Implant under his skin. The feeling of something wanting to break out of his body was getting stronger and stronger! Li Fei glanced at the Myriad Blood Bead in his body. The number of Blood Souls reduced was more than two, and the energy required for upgrading had also increased.
This meant that the Implant was causing damage to his body, and at the same time, it allowed the Myriad Blood Bead to absorb energy.
Could it be that the last anomaly was not caused by excessive emotional fluctuations, but because I used 'Blood Rage'?
Li Fei had such a guess in his mind.
Hao Yi had said that the Implant anomaly caused by violent emotional fluctuations was only effective the first time, and this was already his second time, and his emotions tonight were calm from beginning to end.
The only thing that was the same between the last time and this time was that he had used 'Blood Rage'.
Could it be that using Blood Rage can accelerate the stimulation of Implant growth?
Li Fei thought so.
Soon, he felt a strong sense of hunger.
This was because the Steel Armor Implant in his body needed to replenish nutrients.
