Dragon-Tiger Fight

On the boxing stage, Li Fei's opponent was slender, with very pale skin, long arms, equally long fingers, and a somewhat sinister look in his eyes.

This person was Ghost Shadow Hand, one of the hottest boxers on the Yellow Rank Boxing Stage in the past two months.

"Begin!"

The referee at ringside shouted loudly.

As soon as his voice fell, Ghost Shadow Hand stepped forward and charged towards Li Fei.

Just as Liu San'er had said, his opponent excelled at aggressive attacks, preferring to seize the initiative right from the start.

Ghost Shadow Hand raised his left hand, using two fingers to stab at Li Fei's eyes.

This was a move absolutely forbidden in formal ring matches, but it was very common in this Fist Fortress.

Ghost Shadow Hand's speed was indeed fast, but Li Fei had been warned by Liu San'er and was prepared. He dodged the attack by sidestepping, while simultaneously lowering his left arm to block his left ribs, stopping the incoming fist.

Covering the eyes with the left hand and launching a sneak attack on the ribs with the right—this was also the fighting pattern of Ghost Shadow Hand that Liu San'er had summarized.

After blocking the opponent's second attack, Li Fei took the opportunity to step forward, his right shoulder slamming out fiercely.

At the same time as his right shoulder thrust out, he activated Blood Rage.

Several experiences with using Blood Rage had led him to discover a trick: in the first second after activating Blood Rage, the surge of power was at its strongest. If he launched an attack on the enemy at this moment, it would inflict the greatest damage.

Therefore, Li Fei activated Blood Rage while side-checking. This time, he didn't expend two *Blood Soul*s, but only one, because Ghost Shadow Hand was not a power-based opponent. He only needed to expend one Blood Soul to achieve a power crushing effect on Ghost Shadow Hand.

Ghost Shadow Hand reacted quickly, stepping back in time to avoid Li Fei's collision, preventing Li Fei from hitting him solidly.

Then, using both hands, he punched at Li Fei with lightning speed, creating a flurry of afterimages! This was why Ghost Shadow Hand was called Ghost Shadow Hand.

Seeing Ghost Shadow Hand use his signature move, the crowd erupted in cheers.

"Good! Hit him!"

"Kill him!"

"..."

Li Fei didn't care about the punches aimed at him, and directly threw a heavy punch in the direction of Ghost Shadow Hand.

The two instantly exchanged blows.

Ghost Shadow Hand hit Li Fei three times, specifically the Tan Zhong Acupoint on his chest, under his right armpit, and on his left ribs. His attacks were fast and highly accurate, enough to compensate for his lack of strength.

Li Fei only hit his opponent once, on his right shoulder.

But the end result was that Ghost Shadow Hand was staggered by the heavy punch, almost lifted off his feet, while Li Fei continued to step forward and punch without being affected at all.

Because Ghost Shadow Hand lost his balance and couldn't dodge, he could only raise his arms to block, but Li Fei's second punch forced him to retreat further, his body tilting, on the verge of falling.

Li Fei suddenly stepped forward and leaped up, raising his leg and lifting his knee, a flying knee slamming hard into Ghost Shadow Hand's abdomen, sending him flying before he could fall!

Ghost Shadow Hand crashed into the wire mesh around the boxing stage, bounced back, and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Then, he curled up in pain, clutching his abdomen and groaning.

He had been beaten to the point of losing his fighting ability.

"Blue-Faced Ghost, wins!"

The referee quickly announced the result.

From start to finish, the whole process took less than five seconds.

"Blue-Faced Ghost!"

"Blue-Faced Ghost!"

"Blue-Faced Ghost!"

Cheers erupted from the scene, the audience shouting Li Fei's name.

With this, Li Fei successfully advanced to the next level and could now fight in the Black Character Ring.

The prize money for the Black Character Ring started at a minimum of 20 yuan and went up to 40 yuan, a much higher income than the Yellow Rank.

"Congratulations."

As Li Fei stepped down from the stage and found Liu San'er, Sister Hua was the first to speak to him.

"Mm."

Li Fei nodded and looked at Liu San'er.

Liu San'er skillfully took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to him, "Your odds for this match were 1.3, with a principal of 100, earning you 30 yuan. Count it."

As Li Fei won two consecutive matches with absolute dominance, his match odds also decreased.

Li Fei took the banknotes and counted them, confirming that there were no problems before putting them in his pocket, preparing to collect his bonus for the match.

"Do you want to make a big profit?"

Sister Hua suddenly asked.

Li Fei stopped, turned around, and looked at her, "How so?"

"Can you use weapons?"

Sister Hua asked.

Li Fei didn't answer immediately but instead asked, "You want me to fight in a weapon match?"

Liu San'er had introduced him to the three common types of boxing matches in Qingyuan Fist Fortress: bare-handed fights, weapon fights, and deathmatches.

The bonuses for the latter two were much higher than the former.

"In half a month, there will be a Dragon-Tiger Fight at the Heaven Grade Boxing Ring. The Dragon General is a formal Martial Warrior, specifically using weapons to fight three Tigers. If you're interested, I can recommend you to be a Tiger General."

Sister Hua glanced at Liu San'er, "Don't worry, you'll still be his boxing agent; I won't compete with you."

Dragon-Tiger Fight? Dragon General? Tiger General? Li Fei didn't understand these terms and directly turned his head to look at Liu San'er.

Liu San'er pondered for a moment and said to Sister Hua, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Hua; we need to consider it first."

"Alright, but you must give me an answer within two days. I can only hold this spot for two days at most,"

Sister Hua said, then turned and left.

After she left, Liu San'er immediately explained to Li Fei, "Qingyuan Fist Fortress holds some special boxing matches every so often. The Dragon-Tiger Fight she just mentioned is one of them. The Dragon-Tiger Fight has a Dragon General and Tiger Generals. The Dragon General is a powerful boxer, always from the Heaven Grade Boxing Ring, while the Tiger Generals are lower-level boxers. It takes the form of one Dragon fighting multiple Tigers, meaning one against many.

The Dragon-Tiger Fight in half a month is one Dragon against three Tigers, and the opponent specifically requested weapons. Sister Hua wants to recommend you to be one of the Tiger Generals."

"What are the benefits of winning?"

Li Fei asked directly.

Liu San'er said, "First, the bonus. The bonus for the Dragon-Tiger Fight is very high. If a Tiger General wins, the bonus starts at least at 100 yuan. Second, the betting odds. The odds for the Tiger Generals are very high, usually starting at 1 to 3, sometimes reaching 1 to 5, or even 1 to 10! I think the reason Sister Hua is willing to do us this favor and recommend you is probably because she's thinking of making a profit from the high odds. But I must remind you, the Dragon-Tiger Fight is very dangerous, and weapon fights are even more dangerous. Although there's no requirement to fight to the death, blood is inevitable when weapons are used. Even if you don't die, you can easily become crippled!"

Li Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you get detailed information on the Dragon General for the Dragon-Tiger Fight in half a month?"

His odds are unlikely to be very high if he fights in normal boxing matches one after another. The Dragon-Tiger Fight is a rare opportunity for him. If he can seize it, he might be able to earn enough money for his cultivation needs for the next year after just one boxing match!

So he didn't want to miss it easily.

Liu San'er nodded, "Sister Hua should have it. I can ask her for it, and I can also collect some myself."

"Okay, find out the Dragon General's situation first, tell me tomorrow, and then I'll decide whether to participate."

Li Fei said.

He had studied at the Conflict Mitigation Department of Xing City Vocational School for three years and had naturally practiced weapons. Although he couldn't be considered very proficient, he could at least fight normally.

Plus, with the Myriad Blood Bead and Blood Rage, he might not be without a chance to fight.

More importantly, in half a month, he should have broken through to the Body Breaking Stage and become a formal Martial Warrior.

The next day, after arriving at the Military Academy and seeing Hao Yi, Li Fei suddenly asked:

"Teacher, if I want to practice weapons, are there any suitable martial skills I can practice?"
