Chapter 229: Sword Pointing at Bangkok! The Ancient Thai War

Unity of Heaven and Man!

That's right, this is the Unity of Heaven and Man state Chen Jie entered after breaking through to the Half-Step Grandmaster realm.

This was not his first time entering the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

For any strong person, every time they enter the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, they can temper their artistic conception, relax, and sublimate it!

Perhaps this is the essence of the artistic conception of national martial arts!

In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, Chen Jie could easily integrate and comprehend the power of martial arts.

"Martial Arts Return to One! The Twelve Roads Tan Leg, Xingyi Fist, and Qi Family Saber Technique, three major martial arts, integrated and comprehended, artistic conceptions unified!"

"It seems my Half-Step Grandmaster realm has finally been completely consolidated!"

"The path of fierce and powerful fist intent, refining essence into qi, no fist no intent is true intent, softness within hardness, hardness within softness——!"

A powerful aura, like a volcanic eruption, emanated from Chen Jie's body.

His legs stood firm, stable as Mount Tai.

Hundred Shattering Legs!

That's right, Chen Jie finally unleashed Hong Mei's secret killing move of the Tan Leg Sect, Hundred Shattering Legs!

Every sweep kick shot out, fast as lightning, untraceable, making it impossible for people to see his leg shadows clearly.

A moment later, the muscles all over his body began to relax, and his whole person merged with his surroundings.

That fierce and overbearing artistic conception, the embryonic form of Grandmaster Will, inspired heart-trembling fear.

That would mean his martial arts realm had broken through to the Grandmaster realm!

Woo-woo——!

The mountain wind on the cliff became increasingly fierce.

Only when muscles are relaxed can they instantly tighten, erupting the most fierce power in the shortest time.

Tan Leg Secret Transmission——Divine Travel Four Changes!

Sweep Kick Four Strikes!

In the following time, Chen Jie trained again on the rocks of the cliff.

Boom!

Immediately after, a fierce and overbearing aura emanated from his whole body.

This is the sign of the Third Realm of Martial Arts——Momentum, advancing toward the Fourth Realm——Intent.

When accumulating momentum, all the muscles in his body would be in a relaxed state.

Using the combination killing move of Twelve Roads Tan Leg and Xingyi Fist, he began to erupt with the fastest attack speed and the fiercest power.

Unconsciously,

Chen Jie's Shen Yi Su Du reached the limit state, and he could precisely predict everything around him.

In Chen Jie's mind, he once again entered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

To temper his Grandmaster Will, he must integrate the artistic conceptions of fist technique, leg technique, and saber technique into one.

Hah!

Chen Jie sat cross-legged on the rocks of the cliff, slightly opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath.

In the air, he hovered like an eagle, one leg fiercely chopping down!

At the moment of falling, his other leg lightly tapped, his body leaped into the air again, and he kicked out a Tornado Sweep Kick.

He fused saber momentum, fist momentum, and leg momentum, bringing his fist techniques and leg techniques to the limit.

Swish——!

Immediately after,

After breaking through to the Half-Step Grandmaster realm, the most important thing is the sublimation of artistic conception.

With relaxation, there is tension!

That's right,

The combination killing move of Xingyi Fist and Twelve Roads Tan Leg, under Chen Jie's fists at this moment, began to integrate and comprehend, constantly erupting with astonishing combat power.

The next moment,

Chen Jie's Tui Su Du began to increase, and the rhythm of training accelerated.

There was a trend of a storm approaching, and the sky darkened.

When he landed steadily on the ground, he happened to land on the edge of the cliff rocks.

This was the experience Chen Jie gained after a fierce battle with Corpse Stiff in the dream.

He could clearly feel the changes in the power of the mountain wind around him.

Chen Jie swept one leg horizontally, then exerted force from his feet, and his body leaped into the air.

Xingyi Three-Body Stance!

His feet were nailed to the rocks like steel nails.

Even if the mountain wind was fierce, it could not shake him in the slightest.

Bang!

The next moment,

Only saw Chen Jie stomp his foot and stand up.

With the passage of training time.

Once fist momentum becomes intent, his martial arts power breaks through to the Fourth Realm——Intent!

At the same time,

Woo-woo——!

The air seemed to be kicked apart, emitting a roaring boom!

Too fast—!

Four forms combined into one, just like a single explosive leg!

Bang, bang, bang—!

The kick was like a battle saber unsheathed, unstoppable.

At this moment,

Chen Jie gained a deeper understanding of his Martial Arts Power Realm.

His attention highly focused, he sat cross-legged and slightly closed his eyes.

Fist momentum formed intent!

He could even clearly feel the changes in the mountain wind's power.

That day,

Chen Jie finished training at the back mountain cliff of Qinglong Valley.

There were still three days left until the opening of the Ancient Thai War finals.

With this period, intense battles took place in each division of Southeast Asia.

The list of the sixteen experts who advanced to the finals circle of the Ancient Thai War was finally announced.

When Chen Jie returned to the valley, Wang Hou had been waiting for a long time.

Nearly a month's time.

The development of the entire Qinglong Society was flourishing and already on track.

Originally Chen Jie had been thinking that after he took this valley, Tianyuan Group would surely not let it go.

But during this period, Tianyuan Group made no moves.

Perhaps—

They were waiting for the right timing.

Of course,

The longer they waited, the better it was for the Qinglong Society.

Wang Hou saw Chen Jie, took out a document from his briefcase, and said with a smile:

"Dragon Head, the finals circle list of the Ancient Thai War has been announced!"

"The boxers advancing to the grand finals from each division of Southeast Asia, whether in strength or fame, far surpass any previous edition."

"I have to say, this edition of the Ancient Thai War, because the Thai Royal Family is using the Princess as the prize, its influence is too great."

Chen Jie received the list, surprised, and said:

"Aren't there still three days? The list was announced so early? Huh? Is this the first round matchup list?"

Wang Hou smiled and replied:

"Announced this morning, it has already been delayed for quite some time, after all the Ancient Thai War is the grandest Martial Arts Hegemony Tournament in Southeast Asia."

"The influence of this edition of the Ancient Thai War is unprecedented!"

"But for any Martial Arts Hegemony Tournament in Southeast Asia, the core is only one—Underground Boxing!"

"Every boxing match must be promoted in advance, hyped up, to attract everyone to bet."

"For the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World, the Ancient Thai War is not only the top-tier Martial Arts Hegemony Tournament, but also a thrilling Gambling Boxing War!"

"Consortiums and Money Houses from all over the world will gather in Bangkok."

"According to my investigation, for this edition of the Ancient Thai War, the four major consortiums from around the world, even including major capitals in Asia, will all enter Southeast Asia."

"The betting turnover of every boxing match will break historical betting records."

"Dragon Head, your powerful performance at Shuanglong Temple in Chiang Mai has already made you one of the Seed Athletes favored to win this edition of the Ancient Thai War, receiving close attention."

"That is to say, the betting amount for every one of your boxing matches will reach astronomical figures."

"The outer banker's odds are set very large, but counter-betting offers us no great advantage."

"The only way is to activate the Time Disk!"

The fat man was full of confidence in Chen Jie's strength.

In the Ancient Thai War finals circle, a total of sixteen top experts participated.

This was the most top-tier Martial Arts Hegemony Tournament in the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World, even the Asian Martial Arts World.

Anyone wanting to win a match and advance to the next round faced a trial.

Chen Jie nodded and said with a smile:

"If the counter-betting odds aren't enough, then open the Time Disk with the outer banker!"

"In every boxing match, within two minutes, I will definitely beat down my opponent, leaving any opponent no power to counterattack!"

"You don't need to worry about winning or losing, just focus on maximizing the betting benefits."

The fat man heard this and smiled in reply:

"Of course I am confident in your strength."

"But activating the Time Disk will test your strength even more!"

"In this edition of the Ancient Thai War, many top experts from Southeast Asia who originally fought across the Global Martial Arts World, including strong fighters from the five major Black Boxing Training Camps, have all come!"

"I'm not worried you'll lose to an opponent, but worried that within the set time you can't defeat the other side, causing our counter-bet to fail."

"In this coming month, the entire Qinglong Society is spending money like water!"

"Of the places we invested in, including boxing rings, logistics, and other companies in Southeast Asia, nearly half of the previous money has already been spent!"

"If we don't make a big haul from this Ancient Thai War, our development speed will be affected."

"Also, Qilin is busy investigating matters regarding Tianyuan Group, which also needs quite a bit of money."

We haven't taken over the major businesses of the original 'Yuanchou' Base; now the only way to make money is through 'Underground Boxing'!

Although Wang Hou has absolute confidence in Chen Jie's strength.

But,

Once the Underground Boxing 'Time Disk' is activated, the requirements for comprehensive strength are even greater.

Not only must you defeat your opponent, but you must also do so within the allotted time.

That is to say,

What is now being 'counter-bet' is not ordinary win or loss, but the outcome within the prescribed time.

A confident smile appeared on Chen Jie's face.

After the Time Disk is activated, is the outcome hard to predict?

To be honest,

Any Expert who can make it to the Finals Circle of the 'Ancient Thai War' is not weak in strength.

However, after Chen Jie's 'Half-Step Grandmaster' realm is completely stabilized, his gaze no longer focuses on the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World.

His goal in his heart is now the Global Martial Arts World.

Every match of the 'Ancient Thai War' is arranged based on the assessment of both parties' strength.

Not random drawing!

That's right,

Unlike other Martial Arts Hegemony Tournaments, every Bangzhan of the 'Ancient Thai War' gives out the match list only after a comprehensive assessment.

Drawing lots has randomness, easily causing too large a strength gap, leading to great deviations in betting.

So every Bangzhan of the 'Ancient Thai War' must comprehensively assess the comprehensive strength of sixteen Boxers.

Then, based on their fighting styles and offensive and defensive characteristics, try to arrange opponents of similar strength to fight.

Simply put, it's to prevent deviations in betting.

The two Boxers stepping onto the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring must not differ too far in strength.

This situation has both advantages and disadvantages!

The advantage is that the betting turnover will be very large, ensuring that the Bangzhan of the first round is Spectacular.

The disadvantage is equally obvious: it easily leads to the two strongest Seed Boxers meeting in the first round.

Hah—!

A confident smile appeared on Chen Jie's face.

At this moment, he seemed to not care at all about any opponent of the 'Ancient Thai War'.

Invincible in Battle, Unconquerable in Attack!

As a strong expert of the 'Half-Step Grandmaster' realm, his Martial Will is firm as a rock!

Any top Expert's Inner Heart will never produce the thought of losing.

Never Say Die!

This is also an important reason why, for Martial Artists, the stronger the strength, the fuller the confidence.

Especially like the top 'Kings' of the Global Martial Arts World, they possess invincible Belief.

At any time, they have no probability of losing.

This is an unwavering Martial Arts Belief, a manifestation of Willpower.

Once you lose a Bangzhan, it's easy to produce self-doubt.

So,

To become a truly 'Invincible' strong expert, you must possess a powerful 'Heart'!

You must have the conviction of certain victory, unaffected by any interference.

Belief is very important; once destroyed, it also means the Martial Dao path has reached its end, and strength is hard to improve further.

Moreover,

Sweeping all the way, constantly defeating one opponent after another, one's own Martial Arts Belief is Tempered, becoming increasingly unshakable.

In the time to come,

Chen Jie began to view the data of the opponents he will face in the first round of the Ancient Thai War.

Fat man Wang Hou can now be counted as Chen Jie's Left and Right Arms, deeply trusted by Chen Jie.

Additionally,

Wang Hou seems to have found his position during this period.

Truthfully,

Although Wang Hou is much older than Chen Jie, he respects Chen Jie very much.

The people of the Qinglong Society Twelve Halls were all brought out from the 'Wa State Concentration Camp', Unruly.

Only Chen Jie can suppress them.

For the people of the Twelve Halls, they don't care what methods you use.

Their thinking is very simple; to suppress them, you just need to be stronger, fiercer, and more ruthless than them!

Core personnel like Qilin, Li Chengze, and Ba Te—besides the 'Dragon Head' being able to restrain them, who can make them Convinced?

Within the Qinglong Society, there are fewer intrigues and struggles.

Everyone seems to be working toward a common goal: to develop and grow the 'Qinglong Society' and stand at the top of the World.

Fat man Wang Hou's main responsibility is to connect the channels of the 'Qinglong Society' and make money with all his might!

He will provide Chen Jie with detailed information on any opponent of the 'Ancient Thai War'.

And,

Every opponent's profile was extremely comprehensive, with plenty of gambling boxing videos for Chen Jie's reference.

After opening the file, Chen Jie's first-round opponent's profile was quickly displayed.

Name: Tetsuya Yamagami

Nickname: Fang Blade

Nationality: Nichi Island mixed-blood

Age: 27 years old

Body Weight: 110KG

Height: 192CM

Martial Arts: Kyokushin Karate, Judo, Kickboxing

Background: Resident Chief of the England London Boxing Stadium, recipient of the 'England Warrior Medal', holder of the European Martial Arts Circle 'Second King' title!

Characteristics: Proficient in kickboxing, proficient in Kyokushin Karate and Judo combo techniques, extremely ferocious explosive power, fast speed!

Limit Heavy Leg Explosive Power: 1380KG

Limit Heavy Elbow Explosive Power: 1180kg

Limit Heavy Punch Explosive Power: 880KG

Record: 246 wins, 3 losses, win rate 98.8%.

Note: Tetsuya Yamagami is also Nichi Island and England mixed-blood, his mother is a Nichi Island person, English name: Anderson-Kaito!

……

Chen Jie saw the opponent he would face in the first round, and was suddenly stunned.

What does that mean?

Is this 'foreigner' a Nichi Island person?

Tetsuya Yamagami has the appearance of a Europe and America person, completely different from an Eastern person's face.

He is a white man, and moreover a blonde foreigner.

The opponent's profile was extremely detailed, even including his attack and defense characteristics.

"The first elimination tournament of the 'Ancient Thai War' involves very considerable counter-bet funds."

Wang Hou pointed at the profile and said with a smile:

"Our first counter-bet with the underground bookmaker is fifty million USD!"

"And this 'counter-bet' adopts unlimited rules."

"Since your win rate is higher than Tetsuya Yamagami's, to 'counter-bet' on you winning, the boxing match must be limited to within two minutes; otherwise, the outer banker will not accept the counter-bet."

"That is to say, end the fight within one minute, win one hundred million USD; end the fight within two minutes, win fifty million USD; exceed two minutes, lose fifty million USD; if you lose, lose one hundred million!"

Chen Jie heard this and suddenly laughed.

End the fight within one minute, win one hundred million USD!

Perhaps to others, this is a 'high-stakes bet'!

However,

Given Chen Jie's current Martial Arts Power Realm, this is absolutely money delivered to his door.

If it were one month ago, perhaps he wouldn't have such confidence.

But now he has stabilized the 'Half-Step Grandmaster' realm.

He has absolute confidence in his own strength!
