A rising boxing star made a former Tigerweight champion cry!

The news spread like wildfire, reaching the entire darkness of Fourth District within a minute.

People who were originally enjoying nightlife at nightclubs and having late-night snacks suddenly rushed to the Begonia Boxing Gym after seeing the message on their phones.

With vehicles roaring, the Begonia Boxing Gym became the brightest jewel in the Fourth District tonight.

"You defeated the enemy" and "You made the enemy cry" are two completely different concepts.

The former belongs to the logic of the normal world and normal people, while the latter always reveals a bit of absurdity and playfulness.

So it's no wonder everyone is making a fuss; it's just too unbelievable that "Qing Xiao Tu" made Huang Zixian cry.

Not only were the audience shocked, but even Qing Chen himself was shocked!

He knew beforehand that Knight True Qi was ferocious, but he never expected his Knight True Qi to be so ferocious.

Master Li Shutong's true energy can produce a burning sensation in the body.

My senior brother Chen Jiazhang's true energy can make people feel nauseous.

Although being hit by these two types of true energy will be very uncomfortable, the problem is that the weakening of combat power is not terrifying.

However, Qing Chen's Knight True Qi was a bit strange; his tears blurred his vision, making it impossible for Huang Zixian to see Qing Chen's attack route.

In battle, vision is the most important thing. Without vision, you can't even walk steadily, and it's impossible to continue fighting to the death.

There are very few people in this world who can pinpoint the location of a sound.

However, Qing Chen roughly estimated that he had injected about one-third of the Knight True Qi into Huang Zixian's body before the other party reacted.

It would take at least five or six punches to infuse that much Knight True Qi into the opponent's body.

At this moment, Huang Zixian stepped back to create distance between himself and Qing Chen, while rubbing his eyes, trying to regain his vision.

No matter how much he rubbed her, he couldn't stop the tears.

Even under these circumstances, Qing Chen did not rush forward to end the fight. He slowly walked into the Octagon Cage and observed the situation.

Even though his eyesight was failing, this formidable opponent silently assumed a defensive stance with both arms, Jujutsu identical to the jujitsu Qing Chen had seen in videos from the Outer World.

Huang Zixian was waiting for him to go up there, even if it meant taking a few punches, so that his opponent would have a chance to use close-range strangulation techniques on him.

Even if the other party can't see you at that moment, you still have a chance to fight back.

Huang Zixian hasn't given up yet.

Qing Chen thought to himself, "Perhaps this is a world that belongs only to wild beasts."

The apex predators roam this world, and only the most ruthless can survive.

Cao Wei is like this, Huang Zixian is like this, and many of Qing Chen's future opponents will be like this. He must be extremely vigilant and make himself more calm and fierce in order to survive.

At this moment, Huang Zixian stopped rubbing his tears and let them flow freely.

He slowed and lengthened his breathing, quietly waiting and listening to the footsteps inside the Octagon Cage.

But the next moment, Qing Chen's footsteps suddenly disappeared.

To all the spectators in the stands, the boy in the Octagon Cage was moving back and forth with a strange gait.

Qing Chen, barefoot, used the Ye Wan had taught him to change his position.

Completely silent.

When Qing Chen was learning this skill, he thought it was something that only the strongest people in the Inner World knew. But later he realized that not everyone could have a master like Li Shutong, nor could everyone have a giant like Ye Wan as their sparring partner and instructor.

In an instant, Qing Chen punched Huang Zixian in the right rib from the side.

Huang Zixian was completely unaware of Qing Chen's approach. When he tried to grab Qing Chen's arm, he found that the other party had already gone far away after making a move.

Huang Zixian was surprised. Why couldn't he hear the boy's footsteps at all?

Why is it that a person weighing over 100 pounds can walk silently inside Octagon Cage?

One blow after another.

Qing Chen gradually eroded Huang Zixian's fighting ability, and the opponent vomited blood as he knelt on the edge of the Octagon Cage.

At this point, the audience in the stands realized that Huang Zixian's defeat was inevitable, and some began to excitedly stand up and shout, "Kill him! Kill him!"

In the cold, steel jungle, the pent-up bestiality of the spectators and gamblers was unleashed in this boxing ring.

They hope someone dies in the Octagon Cage tonight!

No staff members intervened; they seemed to have been instructed not to stop Qing Chen from killing people inside the Octagon Cage.

However, Qing Chen suddenly whispered to Huang Zixian, "Fall down, I won't kill you."

In an instant, Huang Zixian, already severely injured and on the verge of collapse, finally couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed to the ground, panting, and finally whispered, "Thank you."

It was only at this moment that Qing Chen realized how cruel the Octagon Cage truly was.

If you're the loser, then you really could die.

Everyone was waiting for Qing Chen to kill Huang Zixian, but he didn't make a move.

Qing Chen looked at the referee off the field and calmly said, "It's over. Announce it. I won't kill him."

The referee hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the announcer after hearing the command through his earpiece, "Announce."

The host suddenly became excited. "Qing Xiao Tu wins!"

Qing Chen has passed the qualifying match tonight. He will then have to choose whether to participate in the Land Cruiser Class competition.

The usual routine began in the stands: those gamblers who hadn't bet on Qing Chen's success angrily threw their tickets at Huang Zixian.

The tickets fluttering in the sky are like confetti thrown by cannons during a grand ceremony.

Next, the gamblers who had won raised their tickets and cheered.

But then everyone suddenly realized a problem: they didn't have any tickets to hold up...

Generally, the winners and losers in the stands present a stark contrast, with some rejoicing and others grieving.

However, the stands after the match were strange; everyone looked worried.

There are no winners at all...

It was only then that everyone realized that the middle-aged man, who was utterly immoral, had collected almost all the tickets betting on passing the pass!

Meanwhile, Li Shutong had already redeemed all the tickets and had the boxing gym transfer the money to Qing Chen's account at Li Clan Technology Development Bank.

The amount won was more than expected, because many people placed bets at odds of 1 to 17, and the final amount received was 13.26 million!

Li Shutong used a series of moves typical of the Knights tonight to directly elevate Qing Chen into the ranks of the wealthy.

Of course, this can't compare to being a real tycoon, but having over ten million during his student days meant Qing Chen could basically do whatever he wanted at school.

Many people may have wondered what it would be like to become a millionaire while still a student.

Inside the private room, Li Yinuo sat casually on the sofa. Jiang Xiaotang entered in high heels, smiling broadly, and said, "I heard Miss Yinuo was looking for me?"

"Hmm," Li Yinuo said, "You must have made a lot of extra money tonight because of what I said, right? I saw that the odds of winning dropped by 4 points as soon as you left the private room."

Jiang Xiaotang smiled and said, "That's all thanks to Miss Yinuo."

"Since I've helped you make money, I'll make a request too," Li Yinuo, turning to look at Jiang Xiaotang, whose red lips looked particularly alluring in the dim light.

Jiang Xiaotang said, "Don't even mention one request, I would agree to ten requests from Miss Yinuo."

Li Yinuo pointed at Qing Chen, who was panting in the Octagon Cage, and said, "From now on, if he wants to fight, let him fight. If he doesn't want to fight, don't use any tricks."

Some people say that whenever you see the beautiful owner of Begonia Boxing Gym, she always has a smile on her face. But at this moment, she put away her smile and said, "Miss Yinuo, Begonia Boxing Gym is also a business. Having good boxers will naturally make the business better."

"What, you disagree?" The beautiful young woman sat up straight.

Jiang Xiaotang calmly said, "No, that's not it. I think it ultimately depends on Qing Xiao Tu's own wishes. I won't force him to do anything, but I believe Begonia Boxing Gym will definitely have something to attract him here."

Li Yinuo stood up with a smile, and as she walked past Jiang Xiaotang, she said meaningfully, "Don't get yourself into trouble."

After saying that, she left with Nan Gengchen and Li Tongyun.

On the way, Li Tongyun asked worriedly, "Sister Yinuo, that little local boxer seems to be injured. Will he be alright?"

"No," Li Yinuo rubbed Xiao Tongyun's head, "Those injuries look scary, but they're just superficial wounds."

Jiang Xiaotang stood in the empty private room, silently looking through the glass window into the Octagon Cage. She smiled, then swayed her hips as she walked out, turning two or three corners before entering another private room.

Here, Zhou Mo, the middleweight boxer who had previously withdrawn from the match, was being forced to kneel on the ground.

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiaotang took two daggers from her subordinate in the black suit and steadily stabbed them into Zhou Mo's abdomen.

Seeing the pained expression on the other person's face, the woman calmly said, "Don't blame me, that's how the rules of the Jianghu are. You can refuse the matches from the Begonia Boxing Gym, but once you've accepted, you can't back out at the last minute. If there's no punishment, what will outsiders think of me?"

Although Zhou Mo was in excruciating pain, he did not complain, "I know the rules."

"So your manhood is still too important," Jiang Xiaotang chuckled. "Compared to having your manhood shattered, you'd rather take this knife."

As she spoke, the woman said to her subordinate, "Alright, let him go. Let him walk to the emergency room of the hospital next door. Remember, don't pull the dagger out before he gets into the hospital."

Begonia Boxing Gym has medical staff, and simple surgical procedures can even be performed here.

However, Zhou Mo had to go to an outside hospital for treatment so that outsiders could see him being punished.

This is the rule of the Jianghu.

At this moment, the host outside the Octagon Cage said with great enthusiasm, "The journey of King of Fighters Afan is being reenacted tonight at the Begonia Boxing Gym. I believe that all the audience members who witnessed this moment with me will never forget everything we experienced together today..."

Qing Chen walked outside expressionlessly, feeling as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

Besides his arms starting to swell, Qing Chen's ribs were also covered in bruises, and the outside of his thighs was red and swollen from Huang Zixian's sweeping kick.

Qing Chen's cheek was covered in blood and swollen.

While a reckless fighting style is certainly fierce, it also really hurts afterwards!

He limped toward the locker room, and the staff below the stage immediately came up to him. "Little Tu, Begonia Boxing Gym has prepared a private locker room for you, and the medical staff are already waiting there, as is your father."

"Okay, take me there," Qing Chen said.

After this placement match, everything changed.

According to the staff, he won't have to bother coming to the boxing gym anymore; he only needs to make a phone call and a gym shuttle will come to pick him up.

The changing room was furnished with fruit platters, and there was also a private, luxurious bathroom in the inner room.

This is the treatment only a true cash cow receives.
