Inside the Octagon, a Bloodied Youth!
Qing Chen stood on the Octagon Cage boxing ring, showing no intention of leaving to rest.
"Hey kid, need a break?" Li Shutong appeared outside the Octagon Cage at some point and asked with a smile.
Qing Chen turned to look at his master and said with a smile, "It makes no difference whether you rest or not."
"How did it feel to play these last few matches?" Li Shutong asked with a smile.
"I didn't feel anything," Qing Chen said after thinking for a moment. "To be precise, they collapsed before I even had a chance to feel anything."
"You're much more pretentious than your senior martial uncle," Li Shutong remarked. "Their next fight is planned to be against the top fighter in the Tigerweight. Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid," Qing Chen shook his head. "Anyway, with Master here, I won't die."
"Your senior uncle thought the same thing before," Li Shutong sighed. "He was almost beaten to death by Land Cruiser Class boxer in the ring, but when he turned around, he saw his senior uncle flirting with a young woman in the stands, not even looking at him. At that moment, your senior uncle almost despaired, knowing that he could only rely on himself."
"Then, to make me feel threatened, Master, why don't you go find someone to hook up with too?" Qing Chen said expressionlessly.
"You have no manners," Li Shutong laughed.
"Master, what level did you set it for back then?" Qing Chen asked curiously, standing by the Octagon Cage and looking through the black wire mesh.
"Of course, it's Land Cruiser Class!" Li Shutong said.
"Master, I remember you said that you had just experienced your first Life and Death Trial when you first stepped into the boxing ring?" Qing Chen questioned.
"Haha, really? Did I say that?" Li Shutong turned and walked towards the stands.
However, as if suddenly remembering something, he returned to the Octagon Cage: "Weapons cannot be used in the boxing ring, otherwise, even a strand of hair infused with true energy could be used as an Autumn Leaf Blade."
Qing Chen glanced at Li Shutong's hair subconsciously.
"What are you looking at, kid?" Li Shutong said irritably. "But I'm going to tell you something: once a knight is promoted, he will always be number one among his peers. He might not lose to anyone even if he's bare-handed, so have some confidence. Besides, you've always had a unique advantage."
After saying this, Li Shutong left.
Qing Chen pondered silently, wondering if he possessed a unique advantage.
What are the advantages?
Just then, a gambler in the stands suddenly recognized Li Shutong: "Isn't this the old man who just bought our tickets? He actually knows the boxer!"
"Holy crap, we've been tricked by those two! That Qing Xiao Tu deliberately held back his strength in the first round, all to make it easier for that middle-aged man to buy tickets!"
"Holy crap, that's outrageous!"
"Did the middle-aged man just say he only accepts tickets for passing through customs?" someone asked.
"Yes, he only accepts tickets for passage!"
The group of gamblers were suddenly stunned, which meant that the middle-aged man was certain that Qing Xiao Tu could definitely pass the game!
The other party spent so much money, they definitely won't just throw it away for nothing.
This shows absolute confidence!
While they were thinking, some gamblers had already gotten up and quickly ran towards the betting window.
However, a notice was already posted outside the betting window that the system was malfunctioning and under emergency repair.
For a moment, the gamblers didn't know whether it was a real malfunction or a fake one.
The sound of a horn slowly rose, and ten strongmen beside the Octagon Cage lifted the huge horn into the air.
As the bugle sounded, Huang Zixian walked out of the boxer's tunnel, accompanied by his coach, team leader, and beautiful women.
The other person carried a gold belt on his shoulder, and among the tattoos covering his body, the blue demon on his chest was the most eye-catching.
He stood outside the Octagon Cage and raised his hand to signal to the audience, and the entire gym suddenly erupted in a huge cheer.
This is the most popular fighter below the Land Cruiser Class in the gym.
Qing Chen watched silently. This was his first time fighting a superhuman of the same level head-on. There were no rules of the Forbidden Zone here, and there was no environment he could use within the Octagon Cage.
The so-called Octagon Cage is a place where two wild beasts must determine a winner or loser, or life or death, in an absolutely fair contest.
At that moment, Huang Zixian happened to turn his head and calmly meet his gaze.
Even someone like Qing Chen, who had experienced real combat, finally understood at this moment that a boxing ring is just a boxing ring. His opponent was once the king here, while he was just a newcomer.
Inside the private room, Li Yinuo coldly watched this scene. "Normally, when rookies reach the Tigerweight in their placement matches, we would never let veteran boxing champions compete again. It seems that Jiang Xiaotang wants Qing Xiao Tu to become famous in one battle and become a cash cow for her Begonia Boxing Gym."
Nan Gengchen asked in confusion, "Who is Jiang Xiaotang?"
"It's the woman in the gold dress who we just came in," Li Yinuo said. "She's the owner of this Begonia Boxing Gym, and the woman that no gang in City No. 18 wants to mess with the most."
"But I thought she arranged for the boxing champion to fight Qing Xiao Tu in order to end Qing Xiao Tu's ranking, after all, he is Tigerweight champion," Nan Gengchen said doubtfully.
"Because I bet on Qing Xiao Tu to pass the level, she is certain that Qing Xiao Tu will win no matter who he faces in the Tigerweight," Li Yinuo, looking at Nan Gengchen. "I still prefer someone like you, baby, to this kind of smart woman who even uses honey to coat poison in her words."
Nan Gengchen remained silent for a long time. "It's hard to tell whether you're praising me or scolding me."
"Shh," Li Yinuo, looking at the Octagon Cage, "It's starting."
This time, however, the encounter between Qing Chen and Huang Zixian was somewhat unexpected from the very beginning.
From the very first second, Huang Zixian launched a fierce attack on the edge of the Octagon Cage.
Qing Chen wanted to protect his vitals with both arms, just like in the first match, and then slowly study his opponent's attack rhythm.
But Huang Zixian delivered a powerful whip kick, sending him flying backward.
It was only then that Qing Chen realized that at their level, their own weight was no longer sufficient to build a fortress for them.
Because the strength they each possessed was enough to disregard the weight of over 100 kilograms.
The intense pain spread to my arm and back.
Even the black netting of the Octagon Cage he crashed into deformed!
Inside the private room, Li Tongyun and Nan Gengchen clenched their fists simultaneously.
The little girl's eyes immediately filled with glistening tears.
Even Li Yinuo noticed the problem this time; Qing Chen still lacked combat experience.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaotang's subordinate whispered, "This young man doesn't seem to have much close-combat experience..."
The alluring Jiang Xiaotang glanced at the Octagon Cage and said indifferently, "If this young man is just a pretty face, then he'll only make Huang Zixian's record even more impressive. No matter who wins or loses, the gym won't lose money. When have you ever seen the bookmaker lose money?"
"But..." the subordinate said.
Jiang Xiaotang gave him a half-smile, "But I don't think he'll lose."
"Why?" the subordinate asked, puzzled.
"Huang Zixian has been standing in the Tigerweight division for too long," Jiang Xiaotang said casually. "He has experience and skills that others can't match, as well as the most composed mentality in the Tigerweight, but he forgot that the most important thing for a fighter is fighting spirit."
"Bloodthirstiness..."
"I feel that this young man has a unique kind of fighting spirit."
Before he could finish speaking...
Before Huang Zixian's next attack could arrive, Qing Chen immediately stood up. He knew that if he lost his balance in battle, he would be at the mercy of his opponent.
Huang Zixian's attacks rained down like a storm, crashing down from the sky and striking Qing Chen relentlessly.
Qing Chen felt as if he were being hit by trucks one after another, his whole body was about to crack open!
He tried to counterattack several times, but each time he tried to switch the offensive, the opponent's attack forced him to defend with both arms.
Qing Chen barely managed to shield his face with his arms, staring intently at the other person through the gaps between them.
Huang Zixian also looked at him through the gap with an unwavering gaze. Both of them knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the battle would end soon.
What to do?
The next moment, Qing Chen's pupils suddenly narrowed.
In his memory, Ye Wan's voice still seemed to echo in the dark Prison No. 18: "Xiao Chen, what would you do if your opponent was of similar level to you, but had far more experience and skill?"
Qing Chen thought for a moment, "Run?"
Ye Wan said, "What if we can't escape?"
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "If you encountered an opponent of similar skill level, but whose experience and technique far surpassed yours, what would you do, Mother Ye?"
"Me?" Ye Wan smiled and said, "If you really can't beat them, then try your instincts and courage. Xiao Chen, remember this: only those who are too afraid of losing and too concerned about gains and losses will only play defensively."
Octagon Cage, Huang Zixian launched a fierce attack, trying to break through Qing Chen's defensive arms with repeated blows. However, the next moment, he suddenly saw the boy smiling through the gap.
Qing Chen thought to himself, "Yes, why bother challenging other people's strengths?"
Qing Chen has not yet accumulated enough experience and skills, but he also has his own strengths, namely that he is never afraid of losing!
Yes, if you're not as skilled as others, then try using your hard-working life, your fighting instinct, and your indomitable will!
And the courage to go all out!
In an instant, Qing Chen suddenly opened his arms and lunged at his opponent, letting his opponent's fists attack him, and then he began to throw punches while enduring all of this.
He possesses a powerful knight's body. As long as the opponent cannot kill him in one blow, he still has a chance to exchange injury for injury, or even life for life!
You only get one chance!
In the blink of an eye!
Qing Chen took the punch that Huang Zixian threw at his cheek, and then threw a punch that landed on the opponent's right rib.
The next second, he took a punch from Huang Zixian that landed on his left ribs and punched the other man in the cheek.
Although he lacks offensive and defensive skills, doesn't know how to control the rhythm of attacks, and doesn't even know how to throw a combination punch, he has a life!
Moreover, his speed and strength have never been inferior to Huang Zixian's.
After the two fists exchanged blows.
Huang Zixian silently stepped back, instantly creating distance between them.
Qing Chen smiled, and although blood was streaming down his face, it didn't stop his smile from being exceptionally bright.
Outside the Octagon Cage, Li Shutong smiled along with Qing Chen, realizing that his student had grasped the essence of combat.
Life-or-death battles are never about calculating gains and losses; it's not about you slashing me and I slashing you, then saying it wasn't a bad deal.
A life-or-death battle means killing the opponent at all costs, regardless of how many injuries one suffers.
Outside the boxing ring, all the spectators were in an uproar. They hadn't expected Qing Chen to suddenly change his fighting style. This style of fighting, which involves exchanging injuries for injuries, is the most ferocious and the most exciting in underground boxing!
The next moment, Qing Chen took the initiative to pounce on Huang Zixian, unreservedly exposing his weakness to him, while he himself entered a state of attack without defense.
He once said, "If I can't be a god, then I'll be a wild beast!"
Huang Zixian's momentum was momentarily overwhelmed, and he bent over slightly, just like Qing Chen at the beginning, protecting his face and ribs with his arms.
Jiang Xiaotang looked at her subordinate and smiled, "See, this is the kind of spirit I'm talking about."
Qing Chen relentlessly hammered at Huang Zixian's defensive system. It must be said that the opponent's gaze, peering through the gaps in his arms, could always anticipate his attack methods.
Then Huang Zixian will make the corresponding posture adjustment and try to use his elbow to block Qing Chen's fist.
This is a terrifying experience, the kind of experience the opponent has accumulated over more than ten years in the boxing ring!
Huang Zixian's gaze remained calm.
Qing Chen had realized that Huang Zixian was waiting, waiting to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to him.
This is also a true beast, just like Cao Wei in the Forbidden Zone. Even if someone steals his momentum, he will use the opponent's strong and stable mentality to pursue a chance to win.
Qing Chen understood that he could no longer allow the other party to observe his fighting style.
But what should he do?
At that very moment, Qing Chen felt the boundless surge of true energy within his body. He suddenly remembered what Li Shutong had once said, "Without using the Autumn Leaf Blade, the Knight True Qi cannot directly harm a person. However, when this Knight True Qi is infused into an enemy's body, it can cause unimaginable negative damage."
Debuff!
Qing Chen once wanted to test the debuff on Li Shutong, but Li Shutong said that his level was too low and it would be useless.
Qing Chen's Knight True Qi might be useless against Li Shutong, but it would definitely be useful against Huang Zixian.
At the edge of the Octagon Cage, Qing Chen swung his fist with all his might, and the Knight True Qi surging from his arms gathered into his fist at will.
Qing Chen punched Huang Zixian again and again, striking his arms decisively. The wisps of Knight True Qi flowed into Huang Zixian's body with each punch!
In an instant, Huang Zixian felt a stinging sensation in his nose, and his tear ducts gushed out countless turbid tears like a fountain.
He was originally observing Qing Chen through the gap between his arms, but somehow his vision was blurred by tears.
The next moment, Qing Chen delivered a hook punch from below, blasting through his defense!
A viewer suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Holy crap, Huang Zixian was beaten to tears!"
Everyone stared at Huang Zixian, only to see that the Tigerweight champion was in tears under Qing Chen's onslaught, unable to open his eyes at all!
This time, even the usually composed Jiang Xiaotang couldn't remain calm. A rising star in the boxing world had made the veteran Tigerweight champion cry in the Octagon Cage.
To be honest, even she didn't know what this concept meant!
Jiang Xiaotang murmured, "He actually made Huang Zixian cry..."
