Chapter 125: Decisive Battle at Longquan! Peak Showdown

Funakoshi Masao!

He became famous at sixteen, and at twenty-three won the title of "King of Fighting" in the Nichi Island Martial Arts World.

At twenty-five, he passed the trial of the Riben Kyokushin Karate "Hundred-man Kumite."

His strength was not boastful talk, but was fought out with his own fists.

"Funakoshi-kun, are you going out again tonight?"

"After all, this is China, not the homeland of Nichi Island; today's China is completely different from last century."

"You cleared the arena and dominated the seven boxing gyms of Zhedong, from 'Zhoushan,' to 'Dongyang,' and then to 'Longquan'!"

"Here in Longquan, our forces are limited and our manpower is insufficient; if you were to have an accident, it would be a great loss for our Nichi Island Martial Arts World, including the 'Inagawa-kai.'"

Seeing Funakoshi Masao preparing to go out, Uemura Mitsuko couldn't help but advise him.

Clang!

Funakoshi Masao sheathed his samurai sword after wiping it clean, then stood up from the ground.

"'Iron Leg' Dong Ao, one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, was easily defeated by you! You have the qualification to challenge them."

"Of course, given their current fame, they may not accept my challenge."

Several resident boxers of the 'Qingxi' Boxing Gym were beaten into serious injury, and Resident Chief Boxer Wang Tao had his knee smashed by Funakoshi Masao, completely crippled!

In a single night, the entire 'Qingxi Boxing Gym' was swindled out of over thirty million by Nichi Island people.

Boom!

After saying that,

but in the Zhedong region, being bullied at their door by Nichi Island people, with the entire 'Qingxi' gym swept away, who could endure such humiliation?

The person in charge of the 'Qingxi' Boxing Gym was so angry that he immediately prepared to spend money to hire someone to 'fire a black gun' and kill the Nichi Island people.

"Funakoshi-kun, are you preparing to depart now?"

"I will challenge Yue Hailong and Tong Baichuan, but... not now!"

Clang!

Funakoshi Masao drew the samurai sword in his hand from its sheath and gently wiped it with a piece of white cloth.

That night,

"They have been famous for a long time and have stayed in the world of fame and profit for too long, fearing that everything they have now will be lost, making them overly cautious."

"I have arranged everything to ensure safety after the boxing match!"

At this moment,

In his eyes, this samurai sword had become like his most beloved woman.

Whoosh!

After speaking, Funakoshi Masao took a deep breath and gripped the samurai sword before him.

"Mitsuko, since I was six years old, I have understood one thing: I am a member of the Funakoshi Family, and I will dedicate my entire life to the Martial Way!"

"Defeating them is only a matter of time. After sweeping the major boxing gyms of Zhedong, challenging the headquarters of the Hua Dong 'Da Fuhuo' Quan Chang will surely force them to take action!"

Although the 'Qingxi' Boxing Gym is not one of the branches of the Hua Dong 'Da Fuhuo' Quan Chang.

"No one can block my path of Martial Arts; one day, I will stand at the Peak of Martial Arts!"

"I think you can directly challenge Yue Hailong and Tong Baichuan, the 'Twelve Heavenly Kings' of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, right now!"

He took a deep breath and said: "Correct, we depart now!"

"I have been taught! Funakoshi-kun!"

"I will hone my martial skills and temper my mindset!"

"By then, I will defeat them!"

"They are the two top experts of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, with formidable strength, having once defeated 'King of Fighting' Dongye Chuanxiong; they are not so easy to defeat!"

Uemura Mitsuko hurriedly prostrated herself on the ground, saying respectfully: "I have been taught, Funakoshi-kun!"

Next,

The two came out of the training hall.

A moment later, several vehicles appeared, each filled with people.

After receiving the news, Xu Haihong was furious.

Uemura Mitsuko nodded and said:

"Alright, I will go with you! The second largest underground boxing arena in Longquan City—the 'Qingxi' Boxing Gym—is at the abandoned paper mill thirty li outside the suburbs!"

Next,

She looked up at Funakoshi Masao before her and said seriously:

"Funakoshi-kun, with your current strength, sweeping the major boxing gyms of Zhedong, Huaxia will be effortless!"

Boom!

The cars started, and the motorcade drove toward the suburbs of Longquan City.

"As a martial artist, one must have the courage to face any danger and the spirit to sweep everything away."

"If you fear danger and think thrice before acting, your path of Martial Arts will lack sharpness, stagnate, and never advance further!"

"With your current strength and state, I believe you will surely defeat them!"

"Fighting these weaklings will not only fail to improve your realm, but will waste your time."

"A person, once they have something to care about and fear losing it, has a weakness!"

Uemura Mitsuko once again knelt prostrate before Funakoshi Masao, her face full of respect and admiration.

"Only between life and death can one truly temper the will and Bushi Spirit of the strongest!"

Funakoshi Masao exuded a shocking killing intent.

Next,

He slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"This time coming to China, I am not merely representing the Inagawa-kai to sweep through China's major underground boxing arenas!"

In the Zhedong Longquan suburbs, the second largest underground boxing arena, the "Qingxi" Boxing Gym, was swept by the Japan man Funakoshi Masao.

Unfortunately, the Japan people had prepared early.

After the boxing matches ended, escorted by a motorcade, Funakoshi Masao left...

The next day, afternoon time.

Under Xu Haihong's reception, Chen Jie arrived at Zhedong Longquan.

Although Huayulou said he wanted to come along together.

But how could Chen Jie agree?

After arriving at Longquan, the first thing to do was to go to the hospital.

The Qingxi Boxing Gym's Resident Chief Boxer Wang Tao had once fought boxing matches at the "Dongyang" Boxing Gym and had a friendship with Xu Haihong.

"The Japan people strike ruthlessly, viciously! This Funakoshi Masao, his strength is indeed very strong!"

"He's a ruthless character, very much to my taste!"

Inside the hospital, Chen Jie looked at several Resident Boxers who had suffered serious injuries, and secretly thought in his heart.

Judging from the fighting style,

This Japan top-level "Fighting King" Funakoshi Masao's boxing style is extremely similar to Chen Jie's.

After Xu Haihong finished visiting Wang Tao, he let out a sigh.

After coming out of the hospital, Xu Haihong said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, first go to the 'Longquan' Quan Chang to take a look at this Japan Fighting King 'Sandstorm'!"

Wang Tao's knee was completely shattered; even if he recovers later, he can only walk with a cane.

The key is,

After inquiring, it was discovered that last night every boxing match's time did not exceed one minute.

From this it can be seen,

This Funakoshi Masao's strength is even more terrifying than imagined.

The only thing worth celebrating is.

When the Japan people swept through Zhedong's major boxing arenas, no lives were lost.

Very obvious, he held back!

Not because he is kind-hearted, showing mercy!

But because he represents the Japan Inagawa-kai sweeping through Zhedong's major boxing arenas, the purpose is not to kill people, but to 'merge' the major boxing arenas.

Zhedong Longquan Hotel!

Inside the underground parking lot,

The layout here is very similar to the Xiangnan "Xingguang" Quan Chang.

Entering from the parking lot's entrance, the middle is separated.

One side is the real parking lot, while the other side has been transformed into a large underground boxing arena.

If viewed from the outside, it's hard to see the parking lot's abnormality.

Moreover,

Around the underground boxing arena, thickened soundproof cotton is wrapped all around.

If no one leads the way in, the door can't even be found.

Of course,

Most importantly, the bosses who can run underground boxing arenas have connections cleared in all aspects.

If nothing major happens, no one will pay attention to this place.

Zhedong counts as an economically developed place.

The underground gambling boxing scale here, relatively speaking, is more massive than the mainland, attracting more betting funds.

Around the boxing arena, quite a few security personnel were arranged.

The "Longquan" Quan Chang, compared to the Xiangnan "Xingguang" Quan Chang's area, is even larger.

Moreover,

The interior decoration is extremely luxurious, with powerful backing.

Many big bosses in Zhedong do business abroad.

Therefore,

Many underground boxing arenas in Zhedong have operating models somewhat similar to abroad.

The boxing ring differs somewhat from the "Xingguang" Quan Chang's Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring.

In terms of style, the "Longquan" Quan Chang's architectural style resembles the ancient Roman era's "Colosseum"!

Although around the boxing ring, steel wire mesh is similarly used to separate.

But the boxing ring is built of reinforced concrete, even harder, rougher, retro.

The audience seats are all uniformly leather sofas, giving a VIP enjoyment feeling.

When Xu Haihong and Chen Jie, the two people, entered the VIP seats of the audience stands.

Chen Jie quickly noticed in the locker room area beside the boxing ring, a row of Japan people were standing.

Why say one could tell at a glance they were Nichi Island people?

Because the clothing they wore was out of place with their surroundings, and they wore wooden clogs on their feet.

Additionally,

On the other side of the VIP seats in the audience stands sat several Nichi Island merchants.

Their purpose in appearing here was to provide financial support for Funakoshi Masao and hype him up.

Because betting at the boxing arena had a limit.

So,

To avoid the limit, one had to privately 'counter-bet'!

The 'counter-bet' rule was very simple: directly counter-bet with the arena's behind-the-scenes bookmaker!

This 'counter-bet' method started at no less than twenty million, and could even reach over a hundred million.

Last night at 'Qingxi Boxing Gym', the Nichi Island people, through counter-betting, forcibly took over thirty million from 'Qingxi Boxing Gym'.

And tonight,

The Nichi Island people's target was a second counter-bet at 'Longquan' Quan Chang!

A few days ago,

Funakoshi Masao swept through 'Longquan' Quan Chang, cleared it and dominated the ring, taking nearly fifty million from 'Longquan' Quan Chang.

Tonight at 'Longquan' Quan Chang, they invited quite a few experts from within the country.

Minutes later...

Funakoshi Masao stepped onto the ring with a cold expression.

Moments later,

The first challenger stepped onto the ring.

'Crow' Wu Yan of the Huaxia Martial Arts World's 'Eighteen Arhats'!

'Crow' Wu Yan had considerable fame in the domestic martial arts circle, once achieving third place in the 'National Sanda King Championship'.

His fighting style was hard and fierce, and his fighting spirit was tenacious.

But obviously, his fighting style leaned toward 'professional boxing'.

His attacks were not decisive enough, not ruthless enough.

Of course, the most important reason was that his comprehensive strength still had a large gap compared to the Nichi Island people.

When the match bell rang.

In ten seconds, 'Crow' Wu Yan was kicked flying by Funakoshi Masao with a single stomping kick.

As medical personnel opened the iron gate, checked 'Crow' Wu Yan's injuries, and helplessly shook their heads.

He had more than five broken ribs and severe internal bleeding, and had to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

Xu Haihong sat in the VIP seats, saw this scene, and helplessly sighed:

"Damn it... the Nichi Island people's strength is too terrifying!"

"He disabled 'Crow' Wu Yan in ten seconds, how can the strength gap be so large?"

Next,

He turned to look at Chen Jie, took a deep breath, and said:

"Chen Jie, how about we call it off for tonight? You just came from Xiangnan today and haven't rested enough."

"The Nichi Island people are in very fierce form; wanting to defeat him is very difficult!"

"I'll talk to the people at 'Longquan' Quan Chang about tonight's 'counter-bet', let the Nichi Island people win, at worst we lose some money."

"Wait two days, when you've rested enough and your condition reaches its peak, then challenge him!"

Xu Haihong saw that Funakoshi Masao's condition was too fierce and felt some worry in his heart.

"No need for so much trouble, just tonight!"

Chen Jie said calmly: "Since I dared to come, I'm confident I can handle him."

Boom—!

Chen Jie did not deliberately restrain his killing intent.

In an instant,

The killing intent on him was like substance, causing heart-trembling fear.

The boxing ring in the middle of 'Longquan' Quan Chang was still very different from the octagonal cage boxing ring at 'Xingguang' Quan Chang.

The boxing ring built of reinforced concrete was about two meters high, with an area of about seventy square meters.

Five meters outside the boxing ring was reinforced wire mesh.

From the edge of the boxing ring one could see some dark red bloodstains.

These were marks left by boxers who had fought at 'Longquan' Quan Chang.

The audience seats looked very luxurious, especially the VIP area, which gave a feeling of very high-end enjoyment.

But the boxing ring inside the wire mesh looked very simple, ancient, and rugged!

This extreme contrast instead made it easier to stir up the emotions of the on-site audience.

Huff—!

Xu Haihong saw Chen Jie had decided to fight and suddenly took a deep breath.

He nodded at Chen Jie and said:

"Chen Jie, since you've decided to fight tonight, I have nothing to say, just be careful, cheer!"

At this moment,

Xu Haihong felt a sharp killing intent from Chen Jie.

Very obvious,

tonight's boxing match is absolutely an extremely dangerous peak showdown.

Very likely to beat someone to death!

As for who dies, that depends on the abilities of both sides.

Next,

Xu Haihong found the Person in Charge of 'Longquan' Quan Chang, and had staff take Chen Jie to the Locker Room.

At this time,

the Atmosphere in the Audience Seats of the boxing arena was extremely lively, the number of spectators on site exceeded one thousand people.

Zhedong is an economic powerhouse Province, wealthy bosses are countless.

The key is the wealthy women here, they are even famous nationwide.

People, once they have money, become bored and seek excitement.

Some wealthy women like to find handsome men, some Wealthy Tycoons like to find beauties.

But handsome men and beauties, after a while become boring, not exciting enough!

Therefore,

with the rise of Underground Boxing, many Wealthy Tycoons and wealthy women in the Zhedong area flocked to it.

Especially tonight is a special day, 'Longquan' Quan Chang initiated a Challenge to the Nichi Island People.

Many local small bosses and wealthy women got the news early, naturally attracting many people to watch the battle.

When they saw the Nichi Island Person Funakoshi Masao severely injure Wu Yan of the Domestic Martial Arts Circle's 'Eighteen Arhats' in just ten seconds.

The over one thousand on-site spectators couldn't help but suck in a breath of Cold Air.

Too fierce……!

"Damn…… Little Japan is so fierce! Tonight 'Longquan' Quan Chang challenges the Nichi Island People, very likely to fail."

"Damn! Just now I still wanted to bet on an upset, bet on Wu Yan winning, didn't expect he lost in just ten seconds, Waste my ten thousand Yuan."

"Heard tonight the Nichi Island People and 'Longquan' Counter-bet fifty million, a few days ago 'Longquan' just lost fifty million, continue losing like this, 'Longquan' Quan Chang will soon have to close!"

"This guy is 'King of Fighting' Funakoshi Masao, people in the Domestic Martial Arts Circle who can defeat him are Countable."

"Huh? I seem to see Xu Haihong sitting in the VIP Seats! Isn't he the Person in Charge of East China 'Da Fuhuo Quan Chang'? Why would he come to 'Longquan'?"

"Could it be 'Da Fuhuo Quan Chang' invited an Expert? Who? Yue Hailong or Tong Baichuan…… or another of the Twelve Heavenly Kings?"

At this time,

someone in the Audience Seats recognized Xu Haihong, and Suddenly became Excited.

Tonight, there's a good show to watch……
