Chapter 42: Anger and Resentment

21 years old: The much-anticipated golden boxing ring tournament finally kicked off in grand style! As the most popular item in District C, five out of ten people on the street are discussing this golden boxing tournament.

This golden boxing ring tournament is considered the most exciting edition in the past thirty years, not only featuring the last glorious moment before the retirement of the ring's consecutive champion, but also the up-and-coming fighter who fought his way up from the underground arena, codename Weizhen Tian, a hot favorite to win the championship.

Moreover, it is said that for this competition, the three major prosthetic companies will even hire fighters to compete on stage, endorsing the prosthetics they produce.

Moreover, the prosthetics on these fighters' bodies are all fully equipped by the three major prosthetic companies, with no question about their compatibility and the fighters' potential—after all, this represents the face of the three companies.

Furthermore, recently the giant beasts outside the walls have entered their once-in-ten-years hibernation period, greatly reducing their outdoor activity time, and even fighters from several other districts may cross over to participate.

Overall, this edition of the golden boxing ring tournament is absolutely unprecedented and unmatched in its excitement.

And as one of the championship hot favorites, Miss Weizhen Tian is currently sparring with her mentor.

Shape, no shape!

Smack!

Intent, no intent!

Smack smack!

Don't you always want to cram at the last minute!

Again!

Each sentence seemed to carry a strange power, transmitted to Weiniya's ears for some reason like a demon's whisper, constantly swirling in her mind.

Weiniya was fuming, feeling that sparring with her teacher was like being edged—every time she was about to land a hit on her teacher, he always had a way to deflect her attack, then viciously strike her prosthetic's weak point, and after that add a mocking remark.

Thus, she couldn't even touch the corner of her teacher's clothes; Weiniya turned completely red, her punching speed grew faster and faster, her flaws increased, and after a moment of heaven-and-earth overturning, she was knocked to the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

Unable to hit or even dare to scold, Weiniya felt both stifled and aggrieved.

In the end, Weiniya chose to be angry and resentful.

All right, all right, stop pouting your little lips—if you pout any more you could hang a towel on them.

Isn't this to let you get a feel for your hands before the match? Why are you still red?

Zhang Jie smiled and pinched her cheek; Weiniya pursed her lips and, with a hum, turned her head to the side.

During their sparring, Weiniya had most of her prosthetic power and Stanweistin banned, relying purely on martial arts technique to train, while in fact Zhang Jie was the one taking advantage.

The teacher is bullying people!

The girl is already very familiar with you; the angry and aggrieved she is quickly appeased by you, and you also start packing up to depart, heading to the golden boxing ring for the first match.

On the way to the ring, you always feel that Weiniya seems a bit unhappy; when you ask her, she says she's fine, you think it's just that her anger hasn't fully dissipated, so you don't pay much attention, little knowing...

Weiniya looked at the mature, handsome face beside her, feeling slightly uneasy inside.

It's not that she worries she will lose in the ring, but rather she realizes that the strong bond connecting the two of them will break after this match, and thus disappear.

What will her teacher do after the match ends? What kind of relationship should they have? Can she still stay by her teacher's side with proper justification?

She doesn't know.

The most stable relationship between people is one secured by interests; between her and her teacher, has she established a bond stronger than this interest‑based bond, namely the teacher‑student bond?

She also doesn't know.

In the nearly year they've spent together, the teacher's image has already replaced that of her vegetative sister, becoming a new hope that lets her keep living.

It's not that her sister is no longer important, but that the teacher is more important!

Unlike Weiniya's emo thoughts, Zhang Jie is now thinking more about matters related to the match.

As Weiniya's coach (teacher), analyzing the opponent is something he must do.

And Weiniya's luck isn't great this time—she faces a hired fighter from Weilong Technology in her first bout.

As a company spokesperson, this fighter's prosthetic is absolutely top‑notch, and most of the prosthetics Weilong Technology excels at relate to physical potential, while their biological frenzy operating system is their specialty.

So Weiniya's opponent is likely a bald, muscular man whose whole body is fitted with bionic muscle prosthetics and equipped with the biological frenzy system.

The match venue.

As it turns out, Zhang Jie's guess was basically correct—Weiniya's opponent is indeed a bald person whose whole body is made of bionic muscle.

The only difference is, he is not a muscular man but a muscular woman!

At this moment, both fighters are in position, each leaning against the two corners of the ring, ready.

And Zhang Jie, outside the ring, being extremely knowledgeable about prosthetics, merely glanced twice and got a rough idea of the opponent's prosthetic.

"The bionic muscles and power‑arm are already a given; this appearance most likely also has the biological frenzy operating system."

"Look, her calf and her eyes—do you see the mismatch?"

"That's because she hasn't fully adapted to this prosthetic; striking there will be surprisingly effective."

Zhang Jie quickly finished his analysis; Weiniya nodded, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and Stanweistin stood ready to unleash.

The two fighters bumped fists, shook hands, and bowed.

After the courtesy segment ended, at the referee's command the two sprang into action.

Whoosh!

In just an instant, Weiniya activated Stanweistin, instantly appearing before the muscular woman, her fist shooting like a bullet toward her eyes.

Bang!

Strands of current flew out together with the simulated crystal lens, and Weiniya's punch instantly shattered the opponent's prosthetic eye.

The muscular woman couldn't react at all, and in the moment she was stunned, her whole body had already taken six or seven punches!

Then, just as she was about to react, a sharp pain shot from her calf, and the incompletely mastered bionic muscle went into wild spasms from a kick.

Intense pain surged, and the muscular woman gritted her teeth, kneeling on the ground; after just a brief exchange she was already at an absolute disadvantage.

"Nice work!"

"Damn it..."

Zhang Jie's praise and the opposing coach's shouts came together; Weiniya deactivated Stanweistin, looking on with a blank expression at the muscular woman clutching her leg and howling in pain.

During the referee's count, the opponent forced herself to stand, breaking out in cold sweat, standing on one leg—now she no longer has the qualification to attack.

What she needs to do now is just cover her head and defend, hold on until this first round ends, then during the halftime break let the team's prosthetic doctor adjust her, that's the best solution.

If she loses, and especially if she loses in this first match...

A flicker of fear flashed in the muscular woman's eyes...

Below the stage.

The muscular woman's coach had a grim expression.

"Damn it! Some fucking trash suddenly crawled out of the underground boxing ring!"

If they get eliminated in the first match, then Weilong Technology will become the biggest laughingstock among the three major prosthetic companies!

"Damn it damn it damn it!!!"

【69) He cursed inwardly, looking toward Zhang Jie cheering from below the stage, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
