Chapter 86: A Newborn Calf Fears No Tiger

Weekend!

The night in Xiangnan Changsha was extraordinarily lively.

Xingguang Entertainment City, lights brilliant.

Underground Parking Lot!

Tonight was an extraordinary day; there were many more people around, responsible for security.

Outside Xingguang Quan Chang, luxury cars gathered like clouds.

Audiences from all over the country converged here.

Tonight was destined to be a feast of underground 'Gambling Boxing'.

Chen Jie and Zhang Haonan, the two of them, stood outside Xingguang Quan Chang.

Hu...!

Chen Jie raised his head to look at the lively scene around him, couldn't help but take a deep breath, letting his passionately surging mood calm down.

"After tonight, the name 'Qinglong' will thoroughly resound throughout Xiangnan!"

Underground 'Gambling Boxing' features ferocity, bloodiness...

However,

To attract more audiences to bet, the boxing arena would spare no expense, inviting famous experts to fight.

Two words — make money!

For the behind-the-scenes bankers of underground boxing arenas, the core is making money.

As long as the boxers on the ring perform spectacularly, fight intensely and ferociously enough.

Chen Jie asked in a low voice.

Therefore,

And the wealthy audiences who come to underground boxing arenas to watch, their purpose is exactly the opposite.

Chen Jie silently recited in his heart.

There is one crucial point, that is commercial interest.

Zhang Haonan had been following beside Chen Jie all along.

Simultaneously,

Underground 'Gambling Boxing' can be held in major cities, becoming more and more prosperous.

Actually,

To put it simply,

Whether it's Qinglong or 'Thailand Ruffian' Songcai, their influence in the Domestic Martial Arts Circle is insufficient!

If Qinglong VS 'Thailand Ruffian' Songcai is made tonight's Climax Battle, the attraction to audiences is insufficient, hard to attract large bets.

Their purpose is to see the most spectacular, most intense, most cruel Peak Showdown.

The participating boxers' prize money will also gain more, forming a virtuous cycle.

After the two entered Xingguang Quan Chang.

"If we don't make a good profit tonight, heaven won't tolerate it!"

Tonight's Xingguang Quan Chang, able to attract so many audiences to the scene.

"Haonan, tonight how many boxing matches has Xingguang Quan Chang arranged in total?"

Bringing all live audiences a super strong visual experience, making adrenaline surge.

Zhang Haonan nodded, replied:

"Nine matches! Your match against 'Thailand Ruffian' Songcai is arranged as the first Opening Match!"

So,

Tonight's Xingguang Quan Chang invited 'Iron Leg' Dong Ao to participate, the purpose is to expand influence.

Gambling!

This is the core value of underground 'Gambling Boxing'.

Underground 'Gambling Boxing' wants to make big money, must stimulate live audiences' interest in betting.

Staff quickly came forward, bringing them to the temporary Rest Room.

"Quite a few experts from the Domestic Martial Arts Circle came, including 'Eighteen Arhats' there are people participating."

"These days, rich people are truly many, look at the parking lot beside the boxing arena, all luxury cars!"

Chen Jie's mood was very relaxed, not a trace of nervous feeling.

Wealthy audiences betting is not small stakes; for stimulation, they casually bet millions or more.

Sanda King VS Muay Thai King!

For Xingguang Quan Chang, tonight is a very important day.

Originally as the Climax heavyweight match Qinglong VS 'Thailand Ruffian' Songcai, was arranged as tonight's Opening Match.

He facing Zhang Haonan beside him, smiling said:

"Haonan, looks like tonight's Xingguang is very lively, unexpectedly so many audiences came."

The most important reason is because Xingguang invited one of the Domestic Martial Arts Circle 'Twelve Heavenly Kings', 'Iron Leg' Dong Ao, to participate.

Then,

They have money!

Wealthy boxing fans come to underground boxing arenas to watch, purpose is not to make money.

Truthfully, at this moment he instead was even more nervous than Chen Jie.

When seeing Chen Jie's confident appearance, Zhang Haonan relaxed slightly.

"I checked—the slogan they're promoting for tonight's Xingguang Quan Chang is 'China-Thailand Battle'!"

"Quite a few boxers from the Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp have come. Tonight's betting turnover will surely break Xingguang's record."

Chen Jie smiled, glanced around, and said in a low voice:

"No wonder so many people came to watch tonight!"

"'China-Thailand Battle'!? Is the gimmick really that exaggerated?"

"Let me take the lead! Haha... Looks like Xingguang Quan Chang is giving me face, really confident in me!"

Zhang Haonan said with forced casualness:

"As long as your strength performs normally, beating 'Thailand Ruffian' Songcai shouldn't be too difficult!"

"You easily KO'd Xiang Dong, and with your extremely abnormal Shen Yi Su Du, no one from the Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp will KO you so easily."

That said, one could still sense his inner worry from Zhang Haonan's tone.

Truthfully,

Zhang Haonan still wasn't quite used to Chen Jie's rise during this period.

He wasn't particularly familiar with Chen Jie's peak combat power.

If Chen Jie were just an ordinary domestic boxer, Zhang Haonan wouldn't worry at all.

After all,

Chen Jie had consecutively defeated the 'Eighteen Arhats' experts of the Huaxia Martial Arts World last week, and also defeated Xiang Dong.

But,

The experts of the Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp fight completely differently.

Moreover, tonight he had bet his entire fortune on Chen Jie.

He couldn't afford to lose!

"Hello, the boxing match preparation stage is starting soon, please go to the Locker Room!"

A staff member said softly to Chen Jie inside the Xiu Xian Shi.

Only competing boxers are allowed in the Locker Room; no outsiders may enter.

"Chen Jie, Cheer!"

Zhang Haonan watched Chen Jie head to the Locker Room and cheered him on with a raised arm.

Next,

he turned and walked toward the Audience Seat!

After Chen Jie followed the staff member into the Locker Room,

suddenly,

he saw a scene in the Locker Room and was stunned.

The Locker Room had been renovated, its area much larger, and at this time there were actually quite a few people inside.

That's right,

because there were nine boxing matches tonight.

Apart from not seeing 'Iron Leg' Dong Ao of the Huaxia Martial Arts World's 'Twelve Heavenly Kings,' the other eight were all present.

Huff!

Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm himself down.

Truthfully, with so many people suddenly in the Locker Room, he was a bit unaccustomed.

Fortunately, among the eight boxers, including Chen Jie, four were new faces.

The others were famous experts of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, even including experts at the 'Eighteen Arhats' level.

Although Chen Jie wanted to calm himself down,

in his subconscious he was extremely excited, his blood surging, unable to calm down at all.

Since last weekend's 'Clearance Domination of the Arena,'

Chen Jie increasingly loved this tense and exciting atmosphere that made his adrenaline rush.

"Damn it... Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp actually wants to sweep Xingguang Quan Chang!"

"Do they really think our Huaxia Martial Arts World has no one?"

"Tonight I'll beat them hard, see if these 'Thailand Ruffians' dare to run to Huaxia and act arrogant again."

Inside the Locker Room,

a tall, burly man gritted his teeth and roared.

Liang Jinhao!

One of the Huaxia Martial Arts World's 'Eighteen Arhats,' nicknamed 'Hunter Blade'!

Because Xingguang Quan Chang had packaged and promoted tonight's boxing matches as 'China-Thailand Battle'!

So,

many top experts from the Huaxia Martial Arts World had come.

Truthfully,

such a promotional gimmick as 'China-Thailand Battle' had indeed made the Huaxia Martial Arts World unprecedentedly united.

Everyone presented a united front against outsiders, sharing the same hatred for the enemy.

There was no way,

Muay Thai's fighting style was indeed very terrifying, ruthless and domineering in its strikes.

Many young domestic boxers had more or less fought Muay Thai fighters.

Even quite a few had trained in Muay Thai.

When he learned that a batch of young boxers from the Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp had come to Xiangnan, wanting to sweep the "Xingguang" Quan Chang.

This couldn't be tolerated!

Someone came knocking at the door to fight; who could swallow their anger?

As one of the Domestic Martial Arts Circle's "Eighteen Arhats," Liang Jinhao didn't say another word, directly came to "Xingguang," and signed up to fight.

Chen Jie remained silent, continuously adjusting his breath, eyes closed, nurturing his spirit.

He was merely a martial arts school "Youth Group" student, and had not yet truly fought against a "Muay Thai Fighter."

So,

he didn't have much feeling for a gimmick like the "China-Thailand Battle."

Ten minutes later.

All boxers were pretty much prepared.

Finally,

the opening match was about to raise its curtain.

The Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp's boxer "Food Shark" Songcai, led by staff, was the first to step onto the Octagon Cage Boxing Ring.

Clatter...

For a moment,

the atmosphere inside the entire Underground Parking Lot was thoroughly ignited, turning white-hot.

All audience members stood up, letting out ear-splitting screams and shouts.

Betting time started...!

Swish...!

After "Food Shark" Songcai stepped onto the Octagon Cage Boxing Ring, he propped one leg up on the surrounding iron net, assuming a full split stance, and expressionlessly began stretching his leg.

"Holy shit... the Bangkok Training Camp's 'Thailand Ruffian,' so strong, this guy's legs are so thick!"

"Supposedly 'Food Shark' Songcai is one of the Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp's most outstanding young boxers, he's trained at 'Ancient Thai Camp.'"

"Two weeks ago, this bastard started a 'Clearance' here, swept 'Xingguang,' KO'd Zhao Tianlong within two minutes, and beat Zhao Tianlong into serious injury, fierce as hell."

"Can 'Qinglong' hack it? I didn't come last week, don't know if that 'Qinglong' has the strength to win."

"Look at the odds, 'Qinglong's' probability of winning isn't high."

"Afraid of a hammer, I watched last week's boxing match, 'Qinglong' similarly cleared the 'Clearance,' and KO'd Xiang Dong, broke five of Xiang Dong's ribs, 'Qinglong' definitely has a chance to win."

"I'm betting on 'Qinglong,' nothing more to say, even if I lose, I support him!"

"Forget it, I'll still bet on 'Thailand Ruffian,' chance of an upset isn't big."

"..."

For a moment,

inside the entire Underground Parking Lot, discussions buzzed.

Inside the Locker Room,

a young boxer was seen, seeing "Food Shark" Songcai step onto the Eight-Sided Cage Ring.

He helplessly sighed, depressedly said:

"Fucking hammer, your mother's cunt... 'Thailand Ruffian' Songcai, this turtle son of a bitch, so damn fierce!"

"Look at that leg of his, thick beyond belief, how the hell to fight!"

"Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp coming to Xiangnan this time, clearly wants to sweep 'Xingguang'!"

"Not easy! Laozi's fighting the Fifth Match tonight, very likely to lose...!"

He spoke with a Southwest accent, from Sichuan Province.

In the Domestic Martial Arts Circle, this young boxer's fame wasn't big.

But in the underground "Underground Boxing" world, he possessed extremely high fame, fighting style fierce, possessing not few ironclad fans.

This time, he, same as Chen Jie, was fighting the 【Underground Betting】.

No choice,

Professional Boxing World matches aren't that many, prize money not high either, can't earn much money.

So,

he'd fought not few matches at major domestic underground boxing arenas.

Generally speaking, he always fought "Tailwind Situations"!

What is called a "Tailwind Situation"?

Meaning before the match starts, after his own comprehensive assessment, feeling he can beat the opponent, only then does he participate.

"Xingguang" Quan Chang, starting from last week, had been continuously promoting and hyping tonight's "China-Thailand Battle."

Simultaneously,

"Xingguang" invited experts from all over the country to fight, match prize money given extremely generous.

Just happened he was short on money recently, so after receiving "Xingguang's" invitation.

Although clearly knowing tonight's match, counted as a "Headwind Situation"!

But for the sake of earning the high match prize money, he ultimately still decided to participate.

Chen Jie heard this young man's Southwest Sichuan dialect accent, suddenly opened his eyes, couldn't help but size the other up and down for a moment.

This young boxer, height 185cm, about the same height as Chen Jie.

Weight also not far off from Chen Jie.

From the aura emanating from his whole body, looked like strength not weak.

However,

Chen Jie had never seen this person before, indicating that this young boxer did not have much fame in the professional boxing world.

Next,

Chen Jie turned his gaze toward the 'Thailand Ruffian' Songcai who was the first to step onto the Eight-Sided Cage Ring.

Have to say,

This 'Food Shark' Songcai looked very strong in strength.

Although his height was about the same as Chen Jie's, his body weight was heavier than Chen Jie's.

So,

Songcai appeared very strong and sturdy.

At this time Songcai was warming up on the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring with a expressionless face.

He emitted a fierce killing intent from his body, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Whoosh—

Immediately after,

The atmosphere inside the entire underground parking lot went completely crazy at this moment.

Many audience members began placing bets.

"Just a 'Thailand Ruffian', how formidable could he be?"

"He's not the 'Thai Boxing King', why be afraid of him?"

Chen Jie smiled faintly, twisting his wrist.

At this time,

His whole body emitted a battle intent.

A newborn calf fears no tiger!

Moreover, with his current mindset and strength, how could he possibly feel fear?

However,

From the atmosphere of the entire 'Xingguang' boxing arena one could feel that the 'Bangkok Muay Thai Training Camp' had great deterrence domestically.

The fame and deterrence of underground 'underground boxing' were both earned through strength.

"Brother, are you also fighting in 【underground betting】? Which match?"

This young boxer from Southwest Sichuan Province, upon hearing Chen Jie's voice, asked in surprise.

He saw Chen Jie was also a stranger's face, knowing the other party had no fame in the domestic professional boxing world.

"Right! I also fight in 【underground betting】!"

Chen Jie nodded, replying with a smile.

"I'm called Yu Shaolin, you look so young, how come you thought of coming to fight underground 'underground boxing'?"

Yu Shaolin sized Chen Jie up for a moment, asking in surprise.

Chen Jie was after all only seventeen years old, looking somewhat immature.

"No choice, short on money!"

Chen Jie smiled faintly and said: "I heard 'Xingguang' boxing arena fighting underground boxing can make money, so I came!"

"Is that 'Thailand Ruffian' on the octagonal cage boxing ring very fierce? Why do you look a bit afraid of him?"

Yu Shaolin did not rush to answer Chen Jie's question, but instead sized Chen Jie up once again, furrowing his brow slightly.

What's going on?

Wasn't it said that the boxers invited to fight at 'Xingguang' boxing arena tonight were all top experts of the domestic martial arts world?

How come they invited such a young boxer?

Could it be...

The experts invited by 'Xingguang' boxing arena didn't show up, so they randomly found a little kid to make up the numbers?

At this moment,

Yu Shaolin's heart was full of doubt...
