Chapter 291

Inside the locker room.

Chen Jie showed not the slightest slack, constantly busy warming up, extremely serious.

Perhaps it was because of this boxing match, his opponent Donnie possessed considerable prestige in the global martial arts world.

Therefore,

the betting odds for the match were the same,

Of course,

the underground boxing odds had nothing to do with Chen Jie.

Since any boxing match would have betting limits,

if one wanted to avoid limits, the only way was to open a casino on the periphery, or bet directly against each other.

This boxing match had been heavily promoted, its influence very large.

Inside Lumpini Boxing Stadium, the on-site commentators continuously whipped up the atmosphere.

Generally speaking,

any top-tier underground boxing war would arrange for an on-site host to commentate on the match.

The purpose was very simple: to regulate the atmosphere inside the boxing hall, making the boxing fans even more excited.

Once the hot blood surged, the betting funds would double and increase.

This challenge match arranged by the Thai royal family had extremely expensive ticket prices.

Any boxing fan coming to Lumpini Boxing Stadium had a substantial net worth.

Without money, one was unqualified to watch a match of this level.

Only the wealthy with power and influence were qualified to watch the match on-site.

That kind of boiling hot blood, adrenaline-rushing bloodthirsty fierce battle — the poor were unworthy to come experience it.

Originally, this kind of top-tier frenzied hemp-style Muay Thai war was a visual feast prepared for the wealthy.

"Gentlemen, ladies, tonight will be an anticipated night."

"Next, let us all begin to shout, cheer, for the two boxers about to duel."

"First to step onto the boxing ring is the boxer who has campaigned in the North American martial arts world, known as 'Death God Scythe' Donnie."

"He is one of the strongest experts to have come out of Southeast Asia this century, known as the most outstanding powerhouse of the Muay Thai training camp!"

"——"

Donnie's fame in North America was very large.

Unfortunately, this is Bangkok Lumpini Boxing Stadium in Southeast Asia Thailand.

Donnie's nickname 'Death God Scythe' — not many people knew it.

Especially many local Southeast Asian boxing fans, had never even heard of Donnie.

What 'Death God Scythe'?

Never even heard of it!

A nickname, this kind of thing, must obtain the boxing fans' recognition.

Very obviously,

although Donnie had achieved excellent results in North America, Southeast Asian boxing fans understood too little about North American underground boxing.

No way around it,

the distance was too far!

Moreover, boxers participating in underground boxing were only famous within a small circle.

Just like Chen Jie, although he had already swept through Southeast Asia's 'Ancient Thai War', in the professional boxing world his fame was not high.

Many people who didn't understand underground boxing had never even heard of Chen Jie at all.

His fame in the domestic professional boxing world was merely the Hunan Youth Martial Arts Championship.

Only boxing fans who had watched underground boxing on-site knew how resounding Chen Jie's fame was, what kind of deterrence he possessed.

Between North American underground boxing and Southeast Asian underground boxing, the distance was too far, the audiences of both sides did not intermingle.

That is to say,

very few Southeast Asian boxing fans would run to North America to watch underground boxing on-site.

Even if there were, the number was absolutely not many.

Amid the on-site host's passionate voice, Donnie expressionlessly stepped onto the octagonal cage boxing ring.

He was the challenger.

Therefore, he needed to step onto the ring first.

As the champion of the 'Ancient Thai War', Chen Jie was the challenged, stepping onto the ring last.

Huala—!

In the audience seats, some local Southeast Asian boxing fans shouted and cheered for Donnie.

Just from the on-site atmosphere one could see.

Boxing fans who understood Donnie were really not many.

Because Donnie had never fought a match in Southeast Asia, and even when very young, he had left Southeast Asia.

He was mixed-blood, not a pure Southeast Asian.

So,

although some Southeast Asian boxing fans supported him, the number was very limited.

After the on-site boxing fans heard the on-site host's introduction of Donnie, the applause was sparse and scattered, not many people let out cheers.

"Hehe— didn't expect this challenge match, Southeast Asia actually invited a foreign aid to challenge China Azure Dragon!"

"Is Donnie's strength really that strong?"

"This guy is a mixed-blood; it's said his strength is ferociously terrifying, but I haven't watched his boxing matches."

"I specifically looked into Donnie; he obtained the 'King' title in North America, and is a top-tier 'King-level' expert."

"Is there some mistake? Why does a challenge match require inviting an expert from Europe and America to challenge a Chinese person? Could it be that Southeast Asia no longer has any strongmen?"

"The Chinese man's strength is too strong; he killed Tony and Man Cai, the Muay Thai King was simply not enough for him to fight under his fists."

"Haha—I feel Donnie will find it hard to win; China Azure Dragon's strength is too terrifying; within three minutes, he can cripple Donnie, even kill him."

"It's said this boxing match's appearance fee and prize money exceed thirty million US dollars; have to say, this boxing match's appearance fee and prize money have reached the Asian martial arts world's most top-tier standard."

"This boxing match prize money isn't easy to get; it's gambling with one's life!"

"I bet two million US dollars on the Chinese man; I believe he is my lucky god; I will definitely strike it rich tonight."

"Hmph! Donnie actually dares call himself 'Death God Scythe'; too confident in himself; he will lose!"

"Believe Donnie will regret coming to Southeast Asia; he should not have challenged the Chinese man!"

"Although China Azure Dragon is not a Southeast Asian person, for some reason, I really like him!"

"——"

After the on-site host finished introducing Donnie.

What Donnie did not expect was.

Many local Southeast Asian boxing fans actually had quite a few people who laughed.

They seemed to be extremely disdainful of Donnie's strength.

Inside the entire Lumpini Boxing Stadium hall, except for some boxing fans who knew Donnie, shouting cheers in support at him.

The other boxing fans, even including local Southeast Asian boxing fans, actually all were not optimistic he could successfully challenge China Azure Dragon!

Although this boxing match's betting odds, after deducting principal, are equivalent to one-to-one.

But,

Judging from the on-site boxing fans' current state and reaction, besides the not many boxing fans who bet on Donnie, the vast majority of boxing fans all bet on China Azure Dragon!

No way, Chen Jie won the championship at the Ancient Thai War, popularity too high.

The 'Ancient Thai War' was held at Lumpini Boxing Stadium.

And tonight this challenge, location similarly at Lumpini Boxing Stadium.

So,

The vast majority of boxing fans are boxing fans who watched the 'Ancient Thai War'.

Many of them are Chen Jie's ironclad fans, all bet on Chen Jie winning not a little money.

Among them including quite a few local boxing fans, have already become Chen Jie's iron fans.

Of course,

Now some boxing fans who know North America underground boxing, or Thai boxing training camp and black boxing training camp people.

They are very familiar with 'Death God Scythe' Donnie's strength.

Quite a few people all believe.

Tonight this challenge match, Donnie absolutely can sweep the Chinese man.

This is also why those betting on Chen Jie are especially many, but the outer market yet has people betting heavily to pressure bet on Donnie.

Chen Jie walked out from inside the locker room.

Next,

Only heard the on-site host's voice become extremely excited.

"Let us applaud and welcome tonight's protagonist to appear——!"

"He is the top-tier strongman from China, China Azure Dragon!"

"China Azure Dragon just won the 'Ancient Thai War' championship; his boxing style is ferocious and brutal, cold and ruthless!"

"He advocates offense; his fighting method is clean and neat, shocking; tonight can he maintain his undefeated golden body?"

"Next, let us with the most enthusiastic applause, welcome China Azure Dragon to step onto the boxing ring——!"

Along with the on-site host's voice.

Huala——!

The next moment,

Inside the entire Lumpini Boxing Stadium hall, applause thundered.

Almost all boxing fans stood up, shouting cheers for Chen Jie.

Atmosphere compared to just now, simply worlds apart!

Thus it can be seen, Chen Jie's popularity level far surpasses Donnie.

Donnie is 29 years old this year, at the peak period of his professional career.

His height 190cm, body weight 105kg.

Looking at him,

He has a tall build, whole body muscles bulging, giving a kind of extremely majestic feeling, extremely impactful.

His leg muscles are extremely strong, bones even more incomparably thick.

Very obvious,

From the surface one can see, Donnie excels at leg technique.

His heavy leg killing move is peerless, possessing extremely strong explosive power.

Although he appears tall and mighty, but his center of gravity is very low, fighting style comprehensive, almost no weaknesses.

At this time,

After seeing Chen Jie step onto the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring, Donnie gave a slight nod, which counted as a greeting.

Very obvious,

he attached great importance to Chen Jie; before the match began, he had learned in detail about Chen Jie's fighting style characteristics.

The match bell had not yet rung.

Donnie stood in the middle of the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring, raised his head and gazed at Chen Jie, and said indifferently:

"Chinese, you were able to win the championship at the 'Ancient Thai War' and make the Southeast Asia Martial Arts Alliance spend heavily to invite me to fight tonight's match."

"Have to say, all this makes me feel very surprised!"

"After you won the championship, you affected the interests of too many people, making many people uncomfortable."

"I've watched all your matches competing in Southeast Asia."

"Your peak combat power is indeed very strong; almost no one in the Asian martial arts world can defeat you."

"However, very unfortunately, tonight your opponent is me."

"Kid, before the match begins, I'll give you a chance to admit defeat!"

"As long as you kneel and admit defeat, I can spare your life!"

"Right, let me remind you, my nickname is 'Death God Scythe'!"

"Do you know the meaning represented by 'Death God Scythe'? Because I never hold back."

"My opponents, if they don't admit defeat, then there's only death, no third situation."

Chen Jie heard this and instantly froze.

What situation?

This guy looks like his spirit is quite normal.

How come it's like his brain got water in it?

Kneel and admit defeat?

Damn it — who's the challenger right now?

Chen Jie smiled helplessly and said:

"You were doing fine in North America, why did you suddenly run to Southeast Asia to court death?"

"Did you forget, you're the challenger right now?"

"If before this match began, I didn't accept your challenge, you wouldn't even have the qualification to challenge me!"

Finished speaking,

Chen Jie gave a disdainful cold laugh.

Donnie heard this and instantly his gaze turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"Hmph! Chinese kid, I generally rarely give opponents a chance to live."

"Today I gave you a chance, you didn't cherish it, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"After the match bell rings, I'll let you know what is the North American martial arts world's true peak 'King Level' powerhouse!"

Boom!

Finished speaking, Donnie's whole body muscles tensed, a powerful fighting intent rose up.

At this time,

all the boxing fans near the entire Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring could feel a terrifying killing intent sweeping down.

Too strong!

Fierce, ruthless, bloodthirsty, crazy —!

That suffocating killing intent made people heart-trembling with fear.

Just like a fierce beast, revealing its fangs.

Ding!

The match bell rang.

After Chen Jie won the 'Ancient Thai War', his first challenge formally opened its curtain.

Frenzied Hemp style Muay Thai battle!

Life and death battle!

Swish—!

Chen Jie stomped his foot, his center of gravity suddenly sinking.

At this moment,

he did not launch a fierce attack first, but instead very cautiously stared at Donnie's middle line.

Chen Jie's brain entered an empty and clear state, reaching its peak.

Due to this being his first time facing an opponent whose comprehensive combat power exceeded his own.

Although before the match began.

Chen Jie had already observed and studied Donnie's fighting style characteristics.

However,

Donnie's strength is too strong; knowing the opponent's characteristics does not mean one can crack the opponent's fighting style.

So,

after the match bell rang, Chen Jie's fighting style became somewhat conservative, not that aggressive.

Defensive fighting style!

At this moment,

Chen Jie's attention was highly concentrated, his whole body's power condensed in his two arms.

His powerful 【Shen Yi Su Du】 began to erupt as he constantly observed Donnie's attacking characteristics.

When facing an evenly matched opponent, recklessly launching a strong attack is a very dangerous move.

Especially when unfamiliar with the opponent's fighting style, one must adapt.

So,

At this time Chen Jie adopting a defensive fighting style was very wise.

Exactly,

it is adapting to the opponent's attack rhythm before having a chance to erupt one's own killing move.

Donnie was the same, not recklessly adopting a strong attack.

Although his comprehensive combat power was stronger than Chen Jie's, Donnie was very clear about the terror of Chen Jie's killing move.

Chen Jie was full of confidence in his own 【Shen Yi Su Du】.

As long as the other side adopts a strong attack, he believes he can instantly control the distance between both sides and control the attack and defense rhythm.

Although Chen Jie mastered the Three Major Martial Arts, respectively Fist Technique, Leg Technique, and Saber Technique!

But,

his core power actually had always been Xing Yi Quan!

Fist Without Fist, Intent Without Intent, No Fist No Mind is True Intent!

His breakthroughs in the Martial Arts Power Realm were all centered on Xing Yi Quan.

Swish——!

Neither side erupted in a strong attack, but instead adopted a defensive stance.

On the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring.

The stronger the two boxers' strength, the more cautious their fighting style.

Any top-level Expert has extremely firm Martial Will.

After stepping onto the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring, one's Inner Heart will become extremely calm.

At this time,

if one loses calm, it is very easy for one's judgment to make a Failure.

Donnie raised his head to watch Chen Jie erupting the Xing Yi Quan Attack and Defense Stance.

Boom!

He stomped his foot, both arms held flat, his whole body emitting an overbearing aura.

His center of gravity sank down, the Hemp Ropes on both arms tightened, muscles congested and swelled, his whole body's muscles became hard as Iron.

His gaze, diagonally upward, stared fixedly at Chen Jie's Middle Line.

Vroom——!

Next,

Donnie's whole body's battle intent began to surge violently.

Like an African Lion, his aura became extremely terrifying.

Bloodthirsty and Ruthless, Fierce and Violent!

Donnie had accepted the most cruel training since childhood; his current achievements and strength were all fought for along the way.

He had suffered much hardship, shed much blood and sweat!

Anyone wanting to win the 'King' title in the North American Martial Arts World is not such a simple matter.

Thus it can be seen, Donnie being able to break through to the sixth Surge Period of strength, his combat power is absolutely not an empty reputation.

At this time,

His whole body erupted extremely terrifying battle intent, Sharp-edged!

Especially the Hemp Ropes on his arms, when he exerted force, tightened tightly, containing terrifying explosive power.

Anyone facing Donnie in Peak State can feel a Suffocating Oppression.

Swish——!

Chen Jie stepped back half a step with his foot, his gaze becoming increasingly solemn.
