Chapter 34: Unusual Movement

"Won! He actually won!"

When the referee announced Green-Faced Ghost's victory, Liu Saner was stunned for several seconds before reacting and shouting excitedly.

Sister Hua on the side looked at Li Fei on the ring in surprise, his eyes shifting.

He could mix so well in the Green Origin Fist Stronghold all because of his good eye for discovering many powerful fighters.

This Black Mountain, who had just been signed tonight, had excellent innate physical quality. Having worked in a mine for five years, besides honing his strength, he had also practiced martial arts.

Sister Hua knew that those black mines outside Xingcheng were not peaceful places; fighting and even killing people were common occurrences.

Relying on his physical condition, this Black Mountain had made a name for himself in the mine in the first two years, and later was spotted by a martial artist, learning martial arts for three years.

This time Black Mountain came to the Green Origin Fist Stronghold to fight, wanting to save money to buy an implant on the black market and become an official martial artist.

Sister Hua thought highly of this person, feeling that he would be able to fight into the Heaven-grade ring in the future.

As a result, he was defeated by someone in the first breaking-in match, not even lasting five seconds!

While he was pondering, Li Fei had already come down from the ring and walked in front of him.

Before Li Fei could speak, Sister Hua's face bloomed with a brilliant smile:

"Yo, I really misjudged you. Didn't expect you to be so capable."

While speaking, he took a stack of banknotes from a leather wallet and handed them to Li Fei:

"Here, this is one hundred yuan. Consider the extra as my apology. Please don't take what I said before to heart."

Li Fei was somewhat surprised by the other person's reaction, but there was no need to go against money, so he took the banknotes handed over by the other person.

Sister Hua's smile grew even wider, his eyes staring tightly at Li Fei:

"Little brother, you are so capable. Why not consider letting me be your agent? I guarantee I can build you into a well-known fighter in the Green Origin Fist Stronghold in the shortest time, gaining both fame and fortune!"

He was actually trying to sign Li Fei.

Such arrogance followed by humility seemed somewhat ridiculous, but he didn't care at all.

As long as he could earn money, what was face?

"Sister Hua..."

Liu Saner on the side was stunned, as the joy brought by winning money from betting vanished instantly.

Sister Hua turned his head and gave him a sharp look, making him not dare to continue speaking.

Afterward, Sister Hua looked at Li Fei, his face blooming with a smile again:

"This fighter agent is very important. I can help you arrange matches with the best odds and high attention, allowing you to earn money more easily. I can also introduce you to powerful patrons. As long as these people are happy, a casual tip to you will be more than what you earn from ten matches."

Speaking of this, he pointed at Liu Saner and said mercilessly:

"This little punk is just the lowest-level fighter agent here, with no resources in his hands. Following him, you are destined to have a hard time getting ahead. But I am different. You can just ask around and you will know my reputation here, Sister Hua, and know that every fighter under me has earned money."

Liu Saner was pointed at by Sister Hua and belittled, but he couldn't retort. He opened his mouth, looking at Li Fei, unable to speak.

His expression was desolate.

Sister Hua could snatch the fighter he found right in front of him, but he had no way to resist, not even able to open his mouth to fight for himself.

This world is just like this.

Li Fei glanced at Liu Saner, who had lowered his head. The other person's expression was the same as his when he finally waited for an opportunity in his previous life, only to be snatched away by a colleague with more background.

Helpless, hopeless.

He looked at the confident Sister Hua with calm eyes and said:

"No need."

Liu Saner suddenly raised his head, and the smile on Sister Hua's face stiffened.

Li Fei walked toward the place where he had registered earlier to collect the prize money for his match.

Because it was a breaking-in match for two newcomers, the prize money was only the lowest 5 yuan.

After collecting the prize money, Li Fei walked up to Liu Saner, who was still in a daze:

"How much did I win from the bet?"

Liu Saner then woke up from a dream and said to Li Fei with ecstasy:

"Wait a moment, I'll go exchange it for you right away!"

Soon, he ran back with a pile of banknotes and handed all the money in his hand to Li Fei.

Li Fei took the money and counted it, finding there were 104 yuan in total.

"So much?"

He was somewhat surprised.

Liu Saner explained: "The odds for you and Black Mountain just now were 1:1.3. I also bet 20 yuan on you to win. This is the 80 yuan principal and the money won; it's all yours."

"Alright."

Li Fei didn't stand on ceremony with the other person either.

Seeing him accept all the money, Liu Saner showed a smile, even happier than if he had earned so much money himself:

"I will arrange the next match for you as soon as possible. You have already won one match, and won it so beautifully. The next opponent will be even more powerful, and the prize money will be more."

Li Fei suddenly asked: "Are there official martial artists on the Heaven-grade ring?"

Liu Saner: "Yes, in the entire Xingcheng, only the Green Origin Fist Stronghold sees official martial artists competing on the ring."

Li Fei nodded. Martial arts cultivation is too expensive; it's normal for those martial artists without background support to come here to fight and earn money.

"When can I fight to the Heaven-grade ring?"

Li Fei asked.

Liu Saner said without hesitation: "To upgrade the ring, you need to fight an upgrade match, which requires applying to the stronghold. But if you show the strength to sweep away all opponents in the same-level ring, the stronghold will arrange an upgrade match for you as soon as possible; otherwise, the match will lose suspense, and all spectators will bet on you to win."

"Hmm."

Li Fei nodded. When he fought Black Mountain tonight, he activated "Blood Rage" at the very beginning and consumed 2 blood souls, all out of such consideration.

Besides that, his public identity was Hao Yi's student, mainly practicing the Heaven Gang Tyrant Body, focusing on defense. Privately, he came to the Green Origin Fist Stronghold to fight under the identity of Green-Faced Ghost. To better hide his identity, his fighting style should also change, so he decided not to use the Heaven Gang Tyrant Body, focusing on offense, with "Blood Rage" as his core means.

In this way, even if the two identities of Li Fei or Green-Faced Ghost become more famous in the future, it will be difficult for others to connect them.

Li Fei was cautious in his actions; these were things he had thought through before deciding to come to fight underground.

"How do we contact each other later?"

Liu Saner asked.

Li Fei: "I will come here to fight every night at 9 o'clock. You arrange it for me in advance, and we will meet at the stronghold gate then."

"Alright, no problem."

Liu Saner nodded and replied.

"That's it for tonight."

Li Fei said the last sentence and then turned and left.

He earned a total of 144 yuan tonight, more than Li Lei's monthly salary!

And this was not his biggest gain tonight.

After activating "Blood Rage" on the ring earlier, Li Fei felt the steel armor implant under his skin move again. The feeling that something was about to break out of his body was becoming stronger and stronger!

Li Fei glanced at the Ten Thousand Blood Bead in his body. The number of blood souls reduced was more than 2, and the energy required for upgrading also increased somewhat.

This indicated that the implant was causing damage to his body, while also allowing the Ten Thousand Blood Bead to absorb energy.

"Could it be that the unusual movement last time wasn't caused by intense emotional fluctuations, but because I used 'Blood Rage'?"

Such a guess arose in Li Fei's heart.

Hao Yi had said that the unusual movement of the implant caused by intense emotional fluctuations was only effective the first time, and this was already the second time, and his emotions tonight were calm from beginning to end.

And the only thing the same last time and this time was that he used "Blood Rage."

"Could it be that using Blood Rage can accelerate the stimulation of the implant's growth?"

Li Fei thought so.

Soon, he felt a strong sense of hunger.

This was the steel armor implant in his body needing to replenish nutrition.
