Chapter 14: Underground Boxing!

"What's wrong?"

Chen Jie smiled faintly and said:

"You mean the fact that I didn't rest the past two days and kept training? I had no choice."

"We've been in the martial arts school for three years. If we can't get professional boxer licenses next year, the money we've spent these years will have been wasted."

"I've been thinking a lot these past few days. I'm grown up now; I can't keep relying on my big brother."

Hu—!

Zhang Haonan took a deep breath, stepped back two paces, and put distance between himself and Chen Jie.

No choice —

The killing intent on Chen Jie gave him too strong a sense of oppression.

Only by keeping a distance of more than one meter did he feel a bit better.

"Isn't it just making money? I'll tell you... after we graduate from the martial arts school, even if we don't get professional boxer licenses, we can still make money!"

Hearing this, Chen Jie's eyes lit up.

"Underground boxing! Heard of it?"

"I went to 'Xingguang,' but...!"

"Guess who I saw on the weekend? Zhao Tianlong! The number one heavyweight in the Xiangnan provincial martial arts world, the Zhao Tianlong who once took third place in the National Sanda King Championship!"

"Although some of the people taking part in underground boxing wear masks on their faces, making it impossible to see their looks."

Next year's tuition still wasn't settled, so Chen Jie was very interested in the matter of making money.

"Do you know what I did on the weekend? There's a great way to make money."

Although winning the championship at the Xiangnan Province 'Youth Sanda Championship' in twenty-odd days would waive the tuition in full.

But one more way to make money means one more option.

"Every weekend, the mezzanine of the 'Xingguang' underground parking lot will host boxing matches where you can place bets."

"But Zhao Tianlong is my idol; he wasn't wearing a mask, and the tattoos on his arms — I recognized them at a glance."

If he could settle the tuition matter himself before September, that would be perfect.

"I specifically asked around; to take part in underground boxing at 'Xingguang,' you don't need a professional boxer license."

Zhang Haonan spoke with a mysterious air:

When Zhang Haonan talked about this, he was full of enthusiasm.

Big brother Chen Yao was away on a business trip; the phone couldn't get through, and it was still unknown whether he could return by September.

"The inside of 'Xingguang' is completely different from what we imagined before!"

"Right, you just need to know; don't go blabbing it everywhere...!"

"Didn't you say you were going to 'Xingguang' on the weekend to meet girls? What way to make money?"

"Everyone who takes part in underground boxing earns at least ten thousand per match; if you win, the prize money is even higher."

Zhang Haonan finished speaking, glanced around, found no one beside him, and said in a low voice:

"I've decided: if after graduation I haven't got a professional boxer license, I'll go to 'Xingguang' and fight underground boxing."

"Although 'underground boxing' is very dangerous, it's still better than going to be a security guard."

Hearing this, Chen Jie nodded.

Zhang Haonan having this idea is understandable.

His build is slight; the competition in the domestic professional boxing world's bantamweight division is extremely intense.

With Zhang Haonan's strength, getting a professional boxer license won't be easy.

However —

Taking part in 'underground boxing' is equivalent to domestic underground boxing matches; there's no guarantee!

If he suffers a serious injury, he'll be crippled for life.

Therefore —

'Si Hai Martial Arts School' strictly requires that no student is allowed to take part in 'underground boxing,' including all professional boxers who stay at the school.

If violated, they'll be immediately ordered to drop out.

This is 'Si Hai Martial Arts School's' red line; it cannot be crossed.

Of course —

After graduation, they will no longer be bound by the martial arts school.

"Underground boxing...!"

Hu—!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, his mind falling into thought.

Everything Zhang Haonan said is indeed a way to make quick money.

During this period, he had been constantly thinking about how to solve next year's tuition.

He didn't want to rely on big brother Chen Yao anymore.

He's already seventeen; he didn't want to become a burden to his big brother anymore.

Additionally —

With the 'Corpse Stiff' memories he absorbed in the dream.

His strength will become stronger and stronger, and his martial arts power realm will also become higher and higher.

Whether it's the 'Medicinal Bath' from the inherited memories, or his food, clothing, housing, and transport, they all need a lot of money.

Poor literature, rich martial arts!

For a martial artist, to make their strength become stronger, they must have strong financial support.

Take "Medicinal Bath" for example.

With Chen Jie's current financial condition, there is simply no way to configure the medicinal herbs for "Medicinal Bath".

One "Medicinal Bath" cycle costs at least 100,000 yuan.

If more precious medicinal herbs are used, the effect is slightly better, the cost is even higher...

The cultivation practice of "Xingyi Quan", "Medicinal Bath" is absolutely indispensable.

It can not only stimulate the body's potential, improve physical quality, but also eliminate dark injuries produced during training.

Without using "Medicinal Bath", it is simply impossible to maintain high-intensity training.

Additionally,

Although the martial arts school cafeteria provides "Buffet", which can solve the problem of food and clothing.

However,

After Chen Jie's strength increases to a certain extent, he must supplement heavily in large quantities to improve body strength.

The martial arts school cafeteria's food definitely cannot satisfy Chen Jie's bodily needs.

All of this... requires money!

Before this, the way to make money Chen Jie could think of was winning the championship of Xiangnan Province's "Youth Sanda Championship".

That way, he could obtain a full tuition waiver.

And now Zhang Haonan's words made Chen Jie think of another way to make money — Underground Boxing!

According to Zhang Haonan's description, Underground Boxing is divided into two types.

One type is 【Open Betting】, one type is 【Underground Betting】!

【Open Betting】 does not hide appearance; before the match starts, both sides know each other's background thoroughly.

If the audience bets, there is a clear reference; they can bet according to the boxer they like.

【Underground Betting】 requires hiding appearance; the match is random; besides the organizer, no one knows who the opponent is.

Audience betting requires very strong judgment.

Not only must they assess build, body type, aura, condition... and so on.

They must also assess explosive power, endurance, technique!

Of course,

【Underground Boxing】 differs greatly from ordinary Professional Boxing, lacking protection.

So many Professional Boxing World's Top Experts, after achieving fame and success, all disdain to fight 【Underground Boxing】.

Lacking rules' protection and restrictions, it is extremely dangerous.

With the slightest carelessness, it is very likely to ruin a professional career.

Chen Jie naturally understands 【Underground Boxing】's danger.

"If the appearance fee and prize money are high enough, fighting two 【Underground Betting】 matches, one night can earn not a little money."

"The martial arts school forbids any student from participating in 【Underground Boxing】; I won't fight 【Open Betting】, hiding appearance to fight 【Underground Betting】, it should not be discovered."

""Xingguang"'s 【Underground Boxing】 battle! If there's a chance I must go witness it..."

Chen Jie secretly thought in his heart, having some ideas about 【Underground Boxing】.

Big Brother has been on a business trip for several months, cannot be reached by phone.

Chen Jie is extremely short of money right now.

And wanting to earn enough money in a short time, 【Underground Boxing】 is absolutely a shortcut.

Of course,

Whether he can make money, whether he can get high prize money in the "Underground Boxing World".

All of this,

Depends on whether he has that kind of strength.
