I Want to Box! A New Profession!

"Continue tomorrow?"

Fang Qingyu said to Qi Hao.

"Sure."

Qi Hao lay off to the side, looking like he had lost the will to live.

"Now I know why you made it into the Formal Class so quickly."

Thinking back to how Fang Qingyu had charged at him like a madman, completely ignoring the pain in his body and coming at him tirelessly.

If he didn't make it into the Formal Class, who would?

Fang Qingyu rested nearby as well, looking over what he had gained today.

Profession Advancement Skill "Dragon Hibernation Breath" is being activated (45/100)

Training the Breathing Technique through actual combat was indeed much more effective.

A Breathing Technique differed from other martial arts techniques.

It did not harm the body.

It simply needed to be practiced at intervals.

It had to become an instinct, ensuring that he could enter the Dragon Hibernation Breath state at any time.

He estimated that another full day of practice tomorrow would activate it completely.

"Let's go. Class is over—time to hit the club."

Qi Hao checked the time and called Fang Qingyu over.

"Not today. I've got something to do. Let's go together tomorrow."

After thinking it over, Fang Qingyu still declined.

His Delivery Driver experience had already reached 82 the day before yesterday. After working for several hours yesterday, it had now climbed past ninety.

He should level up first and get that skill point.

"Alright, I'm heading out then."

Qi Hao did not say much more. Their relationship no longer required such formalities.

By the time Fang Qingyu changed clothes and left the martial arts gym.

There was no one left inside.

Not even a single coach remained.

Fang Qingyu had actually been rather curious. Instructor Qin, for example, often seemed to have urgent matters and hurried off.

As for Coach Lin, Fang Qingyu had barely seen him at all.

And the Elite Class students went without saying.

Even now, Fang Qingyu did not know where they trained. They had never appeared at the martial arts gym.

Combined with all the coaches leaving together today.

Fang Qingyu could not help feeling that they seemed to be busy with something.

But no one said anything, and no one asked.

They all maintained an unspoken understanding.

Still, Coach Lin's appearance, along with Zhao Feng's.

Had already made one thing clear.

This world was not simple!

Putting on his helmet, Fang Qingyu activated the order-taking function.

He rode into the curtain of rain.

And began today's work as a Delivery Driver.

No matter how extraordinary this world was, becoming stronger himself could never be wrong!

Five in the afternoon.

Congratulations! Your profession "Delivery Driver" has reached Lv.2 (Max). You have been awarded one skill point.

Fang Qingyu had finally leveled up his profession.

He had accumulated another skill point.

But the Delivery Driver profession had reached its limit as well.

At present, only his E-Bike Piloting skill had yet to be maxed out.

Profession Basic Skill: E-Bike Piloting Lv.2 (112/200)

He still needed over eighty experience points.

He could start slowly looking for his next job.

Once he maxed out a skill, he would seamlessly move on to the next profession.

He rode the electric scooter home.

After changing clothes, Fang Qingyu went downstairs to the beef noodle shop.

He ate while scrolling through the news.

It had been a long time since he had surfed the internet.

Buzz, buzz~

A message suddenly popped up at the top of the screen.

"Instructor Qin?"

Curious, Fang Qingyu tapped it open.

"The martial arts school is taking a collective day off tomorrow. You don't need to come to class, and you'd better get some rest too."

"Alright, thank you, Instructor Qin."

Fang Qingyu frowned as he typed out his reply.

The martial arts school was taking a day off? Seriously?

After sending it, he tapped Qi Hao's profile picture.

"Did you know the martial arts school is taking a day off?"

"Yeah, I was just about to tell you."

Qi Hao was clearly holding his phone as well, since he replied quickly.

"Oh, right—you're delivering food, aren't you? Try not to go to remote places at night lately."

Qi Hao added an extra warning.

Fang Qingyu frowned at the message.

That again.

The news had said it, people in the delivery riders' group had said it, and now Qi Hao was stressing it too.

But Fang Qingyu did not ask further, merely replying with a calm "Okay."

If it was something he could talk about, Qi Hao definitely would not keep it from him.

He knew Qi Hao's personality well.

"Boss, I've scanned the payment."

Fang Qingyu got up, paid, mounted his electric scooter, and headed toward the Combat Arena.

In the distance, ink-black clouds wrapped around the iron-gray sky as it sank heavily. The reflections on the asphalt were pressed into thin silver lines, while the last daylight leaking through gaps between the buildings was swallowed by the clouds.

The sky gradually darkened.

Inside the security room.

"You're here this early today?"

Lu Chen looked up at Fang Qingyu in surprise from inside the security room.

"Brother Chen, if I want to box, what procedures do I need to go through?"

Fang Qingyu set his backpack aside and asked.

"You want to box?"

At that, Lu Chen put down his pen and looked seriously at Fang Qingyu.

"Yes."

Fang Qingyu nodded.

"Employees can compete?"

"They can, but competing is dangerous, you know. It won't be life-threatening, but it's pretty common for people to end up bedridden for months."

Lu Chen clasped his hands together and explained seriously.

"I heard you've been Practicing Martial Arts lately. If you get injured—"

"It's fine. I want to do arena matches."

Fang Qingyu said with a smile.

From what he had seen over the past few days, arena matches were relatively safe.

He could challenge the reigning fighter on his own initiative.

After winning, he could step down as well. He did not have to keep defending the ring.

The martial arts school happened to be off tomorrow.

Tonight, he could try the ancient method he had been thinking about nonstop.

"Umm..."

Lu Chen thought for a long time before finally nodding.

"Alright. I'll handle the paperwork for you. When are you planning to go on?"

"After work. I still have to work first."

Fang Qingyu answered without the slightest hesitation.

After thanking Lu Chen, he left the office.

Leaving Lu Chen with a wry smile.

This kid... just how much did he like being a Security Guard??

In the Audience Seats.

After last night's incident, there were not fewer guests today—there were even more.

As the end of his shift approached, Fang Qingyu began wandering around seemingly at random.

Profession: Security Guard Lv.2 (68/200)

Professional Basic Skill: Alertness Lv.2 (94/200)

He could keep working as a Security Guard for a while longer, and the progress was quite good too.

When the clock struck twelve.

Fang Qingyu left the Audience Seats and arrived at the security room.

"Are you sure you want to fight? It's not too late to back out."

Holding the documents in his hand, Lu Chen asked Fang Qingyu one last time.

"I'm sure."

Fang Qingyu nodded.

The instant he took the documents, a new page automatically opened in the atlas.

Mixed Martial Arts Athlete profession detected. Activating (0/100)

Fang Qingyu's eyes instantly lit up.

There was an unexpected bonus too?

But this really was a profession as well.

"Have Little Li take you to the waiting area by the ring later. But I still have to remind you—think this through carefully!"

"Thanks, Brother Chen."

Fang Qingyu smiled, showing no hesitation whatsoever.

He then changed into the loose clothes he had brought from home, put on a mask he had bought from a roadside stall, and followed Little Li through the guest passage toward the seats beside the ring.

"Huh? A newcomer?"

Some audience members in the front row immediately noticed Fang Qingyu.

They never would have imagined that this person had been standing beside them maintaining order just moments ago.

Fang Qingyu took a breath and slowly sat down.

He paid no attention to the gazes of the audience behind him.

Nor did he care about the scrutiny from the other fighters on either side.

He only knew one thing.

Tonight, he was about to face his first real battle!!
