Chapter 177: Adverse Situation! Experts Like Clouds

"Damn it! Experts from West Asia and East Asia have all come to the Shuanglongsi Zhanchang!"

"Do they really think our Southeast Asian Martial Arts World has no experts left?"

"These bastards want to sweep through and clear tonight's Jifeng Duzhan, they'll have to ask me first!"

A loud voice rang out from the innermost part of the Xiu Xian Shi.

Very obviously,

This edition of the Ancient Thai War, due to the Thai Royal Family's princess marrying off, lifted the restrictions on participating boxers.

Many Southeast Asian experts felt displeased in their hearts.

The Ancient Thai War has always been a grand event in the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World.

The person who let out that roar was an expert from the Southeast Asian Thai Boxing Training Camp.

He was extremely repulsed by boxers from outside the Southeast Asian region.

"Off to a bad start, could it be my fate clashes with this bastard's, how come I run into him wherever I go?"

Boom—!

When all the live audience saw this burly man, the atmosphere went wild once again.

Upon learning that the Shuanglongsi Zhanchang had opened the Jifeng Duzhan tonight, many experts from across Asia gathered here.

"This guy participating in Southeast Asia's Ancient Thai War, looks like his goal is to marry the Thai Royal Family's Princess!"

A tall, burly man slowly stepped onto the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring.

There, he participated in an underground boxing tournament, won a few matches, and earned some money.

Ten-odd minutes later...

"Damn it... done for! Didn't expect that bastard Mantres actually came to the Shuanglong Temple Quan Chang?!"

He didn't pay much attention to his surroundings.

Suddenly,

The entire Boxing Hall's lights flickered.

Staff began dispersing the Xiu Xian Shi personnel, taking a batch to the opposite Boxing Ring's another Xiu Xian Shi.

"Damn it! How did he come? The Middle East Israel's 'Thunder Fire' Mantres! He also ran to Southeast Asia to participate in the Ancient Thai War?!"

Due to tonight's Shuanglongsi Zhanchang opening the Jifeng Duzhan, after several days of hype and promotion.

Five years ago,

He went to the Middle East Battlefield on a chance opportunity.

Inside the Xiu Xian Shi, not far from Chen Jie, a tall, burly man spoke to himself with a gloomy face.

"This guy seems to have been drawn first to fight tonight's opening match, hope the first draw doesn't land me against him."

But,

Truthfully,

He isn't Thai, so there's no such thing as 'xenophobic' thoughts.

As a result, local boxers will lose many opportunities.

Perhaps because there were too many people in this Xiu Xian Shi.

He spoke with a Minnan accent, a boxer from China's Bay Island.

At this moment,

Applause like a tsunami rang out throughout the entire Shuanglong Temple Quan Chang.

"Unfair! This guy is European, not Asian, the Ancient Thai War explicitly stipulates the rule that only Asians are qualified to participate."

Many local Chiang Mai boxers felt even more displeased in their hearts.

"Hehe... overthinking it! Mantres has already passed his peak period, he's no longer that 'Middle East Little Overlord'! Once he runs into the Muay Thai King, he definitely can't win."

"Mantres has dual nationality, he's not only French, but simultaneously Israeli."

This place doesn't allow any sentiment, as long as you step on the stage, you must be cold and ruthless.

"This bastard Mantres, isn't he European? How does he have the qualification to participate?"

Crash—!

The drawing lots ritual formally began.

"..."

The key is,

He has zero interest in that Thai Royal Family Princess.

Inside the entire arena's Xiu Xian Shi, all participating boxers began discussing in low voices.

When everything was ready, the first Jifeng Duzhan quickly raised its curtain.

Chen Jie found a spot in the corner of the Xiu Xian Shi and sat down, waiting for the Jifeng Duzhan drawing lots opening.

Many live audience members stood up, letting out desperate screams and cheers.

So many wealthy people from across Asia came here.

"Had I known Mantres came to the Shuanglongsi Zhanchang to fight the Jifeng Duzhan, I shouldn't have come to Chiang Mai, should've switched divisions, this bastard is heart cruel hand spicy, drawing him in the lots is very unlucky."

Moreover, this is Southeast Asia underground boxing.

"I left the Middle East, came to Southeast Asia, originally thinking to take advantage of the Ancient Thai War to earn a fortune."

No choice,

This is 'xenophobia'!

Although outside experts coming to Southeast Asia to participate in the Ancient Thai War improved influence.

The atmosphere at this moment completely ignited and exploded.

In the time that followed, he established a foothold in the Middle East underground boxing scene.

Steady and solid, he only ever fought 'Smooth Games'!

So in the Middle East underground boxing, his fame was not low.

However,

Ever since he encountered an 'Adverse Game', and was nearly beaten to death on the boxing ring afterward.

His luck in the Middle East underground boxing seemed to get worse and worse.

In recent months, he had already consecutively avoided several boxing matches.

This 'Thunderfire' Mantres on the boxing ring was one of the boxers he had avoided.

He heard that the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World's 'Ancient Thai War' had opened, and all boxers in the Asian Martial Arts World were qualified to participate.

So,

He gave up his own record in the Middle East underground boxing and came to Southeast Asia.

Truthfully, he had no interest in the Thai Royal Family's 'Princess'.

He was also very clear in his heart that with his own strength, he absolutely could not win the championship in the Southeast Asian 'Ancient Thai War' where experts gathered like clouds.

He just wanted to earn more money, nothing else.

On Bay Island, he had once won the runner-up in the Bay Island 'Free Fighting' competition.

Due to his ruthless moves, on 'Bay Island' he had killed people.

According to the 'Bay Island' Martial Arts Association's punishment, he was banned for life, not allowed to participate in any form of boxing match.

Helpless, he had no choice but to leave 'Bay Island' and go to the Middle East to make a living.

This time coming to Southeast Asia, his purpose was to make money, with no other thoughts.

Chen Jie heard the other party's accent, then turned his head and glanced at the other party.

This boxer from 'Bay Island' looked like his strength was not bad.

He was 190cm tall, weighed around 100kg, looking tall, with a mighty feeling.

Next,

Chen Jie directed his gaze toward the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring.

Only to see this 'Thunderfire' Mantres, who was being discussed by all boxers in the rest room, standing in the middle of the boxing ring with a face full of wild arrogance.

'Thunderfire' Mantres's physique was increasingly robust, just like a fierce beast.

Chen Jie raised his head and sized up the other party for a moment; from 'Thunderfire' Mantres's body, he felt an incomparably fierce killing intent.

This guy has killed people...!

And not just one!

Otherwise, the killing intent couldn't be this heavy.

Crash...

Just at this moment, the atmosphere inside the entire 'Shuanglong Temple' Quan Chang went completely crazy at this instant.

All audience members at the scene stood up, letting out hysterical screams, shouts, cheers...

"Who is that guy? He looks very strong!"

"I feel like I've never seen him before, does this guy have a big background?"

Chen Jie smiled faintly, his gaze calm as he spoke.

Although he had been in Southeast Asia for quite some time.

But,

His understanding of the Southeast Asian underground boxing was not much.

Moreover, that 'Thunderfire' Mantres on the boxing ring was not a Southeast Asian person, but came from the Middle East.

So,

Chen Jie understood the other party's origins even less.

It looks like this boxer named 'Thunderfire' Mantres should have pretty good strength.

From the audience's surrounding shouts and cheers, one could feel that this guy's popularity in the Asian Martial Arts World was definitely not low.

Chen Jie previously trained inside the 'Si Hai Martial Arts School', only paying attention to domestic boxers, as well as the Asian Martial Arts World's most top-level experts.

He didn't recognize 'Thunderfire' Mantres, and had never even heard of such a figure.

"Huh? Brother, are you a Chinese person?"

This young man from 'Bay Island' beside him immediately looked Chen Jie up and down in surprise.

"That's right, are you a Minnan person?"

Chen Jie nodded, smiling as he introduced himself: "My name is Chen Jie, I come from Xiangnan, nice to meet you."

He did not introduce himself as 'Qinglong', nor did he say he was 'Canglong', but told the other party his real name.

Of course,

Even if Chen Jie said 'Canglong', perhaps the other party wouldn't recognize it either.

But as long as he said 'Qinglong', believe that many people in the Asian Martial Arts World have heard of it.

You should know,

'Qinglong' has killed the Japan Fighting King 'Miyamoto Musashi', in the Asian Martial Arts World it can be said to be 'renowned like thunder piercing the ear'!

As long as they are boxers who have fought in the Asian Underground Boxing Circle, believe they have all heard of 'Qinglong's' battle record.

"My name is Wang Yu, I come from 'Bay Island', how long have you been in Chiang Mai?"

Wang Yu raised his head looking at Chen Jie, exclaimed in surprise:

"Brother, you don't look very old, how come you ran to Southeast Asia to fight underground boxing?"

"Tonight is the 'Points Gambling Battle' — the danger level is extremely high!"

"Although the prize money for every match tonight is very high, earning that money won't be easy... every single match could be a 'Headwind Situation'! Hard to fight!"

Chen Jie smiled and didn't answer Wang Yu's words, but instead asked with a smile:

"Who did he say that guy is? He looks pretty strong."

Wang Yu sighed upon hearing this and said helplessly:

"That guy is 'Thunder Fire' Mantres, holds dual French and Israeli citizenship, and his strength is terrifying!"

"At his peak, he made the top four of the 'West Asia Martial Arts Championship', and was called the 'Middle East Little Overlord'!"

"I used to fight underground boxing in the Middle East; whenever the draw paired me with him, I directly withdrew — no fight to be had."

"This guy's 'Krav Maga' realm is extremely high, his leg technique is incomparably domineering, and his fighting style is very comprehensive."

"He left the Middle East underground boxing and came to Southeast Asia; by my guess, he's probably aiming to reach the finals circle of the 'Ancient Thai War'."

"Don't let his thirty years fool you — at his peak, among those Muay Thai Kings in Southeast Asia, very few could handle him."

"Damn it, if I'd known this bastard also came to the 'Shuanglong Temple' arena to join the 'Points Gambling Battle', I shouldn't have come to the Chiang Mai Division."

"If the draw later pairs me with this bastard, no fight — it's a guaranteed 'Headwind Situation', can't beat him, can only give up!"

Wang Yu shook his head with a face full of depression.

Very obviously,

He was a bit afraid of being drawn against 'Thunder Fire' Mantres.

A trace of a smile appeared on Chen Jie's face; he raised his head and looked at the unrivaled 'Thunder Fire' Mantres on the boxing ring.

At this time,

Chen Jie's inner heart was extremely calm.

From 'Thunder Fire' Mantres' body, he did not sense any threat.

That is to say,

'Thunder Fire' Mantres' strength, although quite good,

Compared to Japan's top Fighting Kings 'Miyamoto Musashi' and 'Sato Taka', his strength isn't enough to look at.

If one must compare.

'Thunder Fire' Mantres' strength should be about the same as the 'Muay Thai King' Sawa whom Chen Jie defeated at the Xiangnan Starlight Quan Chang.

Exhale—!

Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath and turned his head to look at the other boxers in the rest room.

At this time,

The entire rest room was buzzing with discussion.

Those boxers making final preparations for the 'Points Gambling Battle'.

When they saw 'Thunder Fire' Mantres step onto the boxing ring, their complexions all completely changed.

Perhaps these boxers all know 'Thunder Fire' Mantres' strength is extremely strong and very hard to defeat.

So,

Quite a few boxers' displayed demeanor at this moment, same as Wang Yu, had no fighting spirit.

Of course,

Not saying everyone is like this.

This is after all the Southeast Asia Chiang Mai boxing arena, participating in the 'Ancient Thai War' 'Points Gambling Battle' — experts are as numerous as clouds.

Some participating boxers have weak strength; seeing 'Thunder Fire' Mantres, their fighting spirit is completely gone.

But some powerful experts, they not only have not the slightest fear, on the contrary their fighting spirit is high, full of confidence for the upcoming boxing matches.

Moreover Chen Jie observed his surroundings and discovered some participating boxers' strength is not weaker than 'Thunder Fire' Mantres.

"Younger Brother Chen Jie, you should have come to Southeast Asia not long ago, right? The 'Twelve Heavenly Kings' of the China Martial Arts World have quite a reputation!"

Wang Yu looks like he has a cheerful personality, laughing and chatting with Chen Jie.

"But truthfully, the 'Twelve Heavenly Kings' are purely a gimmick; their actual combat power is nothing special!"

"The only ones in the China Martial Arts World who can be recognized by everyone are perhaps only Tong Baichuan and Yue Hailong, the rest are all hyped up!"

"Anyway I don't recognize those other 'Twelve Heavenly Kings' level experts; they don't possess genuine 'Heavenly King level' combat power."

"You look very young, how did you think to join Southeast Asia's underground boxing?"

"This edition of the 'Ancient Thai War' participating boxers come from all over Asia, experts as numerous as clouds, hard to fight."

"I've been in Southeast Asia for over a month, and I have some understanding of all the experts participating in the 'Ancient Thai War' Chiang Mai Division."

"Although the Chiang Mai Division's overall strength is a bit weaker compared to the Bangkok Division, wanting to break into the top four of the Chiang Mai Division points ranking, the difficulty is not small."

"Right, which force did you defect to? Mixing around here in Southeast Asia, without a force covering you, it's very dangerous...!"

Have to say,

Wang Yu's heart was very nervous; he wanted to distract his attention through chatting.

Chen Jie's face constantly maintained a composed smile.

He didn't make a sound, kept silent, quietly listening to Wang Yu's words.

"Forget it, don't talk about these; it's already this time, defecting to any force is useless."

"Stepping onto the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring, the only thing you can rely on is your own fists."

"Walking this path, it's too hard!"

Wang Yu helplessly gave a bitter smile and sighed:

"Actually I fought boxing matches in the Middle East underground boxing world for several years and earned a bit of money."

"Unfortunately I suffered a serious injury once, nearly beaten to death on the boxing ring; the remaining money isn't much, thought I'd come to the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World to score a big haul, then retire."

"I didn't expect that after coming to Southeast Asia, I'd find it even harder to survive here than in the Middle East underground boxing world!"

"The money here isn't easy to earn...!"

Chen Jie smiled faintly, interrupting Wang Yu's words, and said calmly:

"I haven't defected to any forces. I've been in Southeast Asia for about a month or so. Tonight is my second time participating in underground boxing in the Southeast Asian martial arts world!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"Holy shit... Brother, your guts are way too big?"

"You've only fought underground boxing in Southeast Asia once, and you dare come here to participate in the 'Points Gambling Battle'?"

"Listen to a word of advice from me, tonight you'd best give up on participating."

"A headwind situation, hard to fight. If things go wrong, serious injury is possible, even being beaten to death on the boxing ring is a possibility."

"The boxers of the 'Points Gambling Battle' come from all over Asia, with quite a few top experts participating."

"The outcome of each boxing match accumulates points, and the match prize money uses a stacking format. The first match's prize money is fifty thousand US dollars."

"To seize tonight's points leaderboard top spot and directly reach the 'Ancient Thai War' finals circle, you must win seven consecutive matches. Losing is not allowed."

"Not hiding it from you, I never thought about clearing tonight's 'Points Gambling Battle'. I just want to win a few rounds, earn several hundred thousand US dollars, then withdraw."

Chen Jie's face maintained a composed smile.

His purpose wasn't to earn a little bit of match prize money.

Tonight's 'Points Gambling Battle', he not only had to clear it and seize the points leaderboard top spot, but also had to sweep away most of the 'Points Gambling Battle' funds.

Seven consecutive victories, clear the 'Points Gambling Battle'!

One night's time, for Chen Jie, the challenge wasn't great.

Of course, everything still depended on the opponents' strength.

This is seven rounds of 'Wheel Battle', after all. If the opponents' strength is too strong, wanting to clear it won't be easy.

However,

Chen Jie not only had to clear the 'Points Gambling Battle', but also had to make the name 'Canglong' resound throughout all of Southeast Asia.

Simultaneously,

He even more had to make the three words 'Qinglong Society' shake Southeast Asia with awe.
