Chapter 37: Dragon and Tiger Fight

On the ring, Li Fei's opponent was thin, with white skin, long arms, and equally long fingers, with somewhat evil eyes.

This person was Ghost Shadow Hand, one of the hottest fighters in the Yellow-grade ring in the past two months.

"Start!"

The referee at the side of the ring shouted loudly.

As soon as his voice fell, Ghost Shadow Hand stepped and rushed toward Li Fei.

Just like what Liu Saner said, the opponent was good at preemptive attacks and liked to seize the initiative at the beginning.

Ghost Shadow Hand raised his left hand and used two fingers to poke at Li Fei's eyes.

This was a move absolutely prohibited in regular ring matches, but it was very common in this stronghold.

Ghost Shadow Hand's speed was indeed very fast, but Li Fei had Liu Saner's reminder and was prepared in advance, dodging this strike sideways, while lowering his left arm to block in front of his left rib, blocking the opponent's incoming punch.

Left hand covering the eyes, right hand sneak attacking the ribs—this was also the fighting routine of Ghost Shadow Hand summarized by Liu Saner.

After blocking the opponent's second strike, Li Fei took advantage of the momentum to step forward, fiercely ramming out with his right shoulder.

While ramming out with his right shoulder, he activated "Blood Rage."

Several experiences of using "Blood Rage" made him discover a small trick—in the first second of activating "Blood Rage," the surge of power is the strongest. If you launch an attack on the enemy at this time, you can cause the greatest impact effect.

So Li Fei activated "Blood Rage" while ramming sideways. This time he didn't consume 2 blood souls, but only 1, because Ghost Shadow Hand didn't belong to a power-type opponent; he only needed to consume 1 blood soul to be enough to strike Ghost Shadow Hand with a power-crushing effect.

Ghost Shadow Hand reacted quickly, stepping back in time to dodge Li Fei's ram, not letting Li Fei hit solidly.

Afterward, he attacked with both hands, his hands like thunderbolts, punching at Li Fei with extreme speed, creating a series of afterimages!

This was the reason why Ghost Shadow Hand was called Ghost Shadow Hand.

Seeing Ghost Shadow Hand use his signature stunt, the scene immediately erupted in cheers.

"Good! Hit him!"

"Kill him!"

"..."

Li Fei didn't care about the punches hitting him at all, directly throwing a heavy punch toward where Ghost Shadow Hand was.

The two exchanged a move instantly.

Ghost Shadow Hand hit Li Fei three times, respectively on the chest's Tanzhong acupoint, the right arm's armpit, and the left rib. His attack was fast and his precision was also very high, enough to make up for the lack of power.

Li Fei only hit the opponent once, on the opponent's right shoulder.

But the final result was that Ghost Shadow Hand was hit by a heavy punch and staggered, almost having his feet lifted off the ground, while Li Fei continued to step forward and punch without being affected at all.

Because Ghost Shadow Hand lost his balance and couldn't dodge, he could only raise his arms to block, only to be hit by Li Fei's second punch and continue to retreat, his body tilting, looking like he was about to fall to the ground.

Li Fei stepped forward and jumped up, lifting his knee, fiercely ramming toward Ghost Shadow Hand's lower abdomen with a flying knee, actually hitting him flying before he fell to the ground!

Ghost Shadow Hand hit the wire mesh around the ring, bounced back, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then he curled into a ball in great pain, clutching his lower abdomen and groaning.

He had been beaten until he lost combat capability.

"Green-Faced Ghost, wins!"

The referee quickly announced the result.

From start to finish, the whole process was less than five seconds.

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

Cheers erupted at the scene, and the spectators shouted Li Fei's nickname loudly.

With this, Li Fei successfully upgraded, and could fight in the Profound-grade ring in the future.

The prize money for the Profound-grade ring started at 20 yuan at the lowest and 40 yuan at the highest, with income much higher than the Yellow-grade.

"Congratulations."

When Li Fei came off the stage and found Liu Saner, Sister Hua was the first to say to him.

"Hmm."

Li Fei nodded and looked at Liu Saner.

Liu Saner skillfully took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to him:

"The odds for you in this match were 1.3. Principal 100, earned 30 yuan. You count it."

As Li Fei won two matches in a row with absolute advantage, his match odds also dropped accordingly.

Li Fei took the banknotes and counted them. After confirming there was no problem, he put them in his pocket, preparing to go collect the prize money for this match.

"Do you want to earn a big one?"

Sister Hua suddenly spoke up.

Li Fei stopped and turned to look at the other person: "How so?"

"Can you use weapons?"

Sister Hua asked.

Li Fei didn't answer immediately, but asked back: "Do you want me to fight a weapon match?"

Liu Saner had introduced him to the three common ways of fighting in the Green Origin Fist Stronghold: bare-handed fighting, weapon fighting, and death matches.

The prize money for the latter two was far higher than the former.

"Half a month later, there will be a Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Heaven-grade ring. The Dragon will be an official martial artist, designated to fight three Tigers with weapons. If you want, I can recommend you to be a Tiger."

Sister Hua glanced at Liu Saner, "Don't worry, the fighter agent is still you; I won't snatch him."

Dragon and Tiger Fight? Dragon? Tiger?

Li Fei didn't understand these terms and turned his head to look at Liu Saner.

Liu Saner pondered for a moment and said to Sister Hua:

"Thanks for Sister Hua's kindness, we need to consider it first."

"Fine, but you must give me an answer within two days. I can only keep this quota for two days at most."

Sister Hua said, then turned and left.

After he left, Liu Saner immediately explained to Li Fei:

"The Green Origin Fist Stronghold holds some special matches every once in a while. The Dragon and Tiger Fight he just mentioned is one of them. The Dragon and Tiger Fight has Dragons and Tigers. Dragons are powerful fighters, all from the Heaven-grade ring, while Tigers are lower-grade fighters. It adopts the form of one Dragon fighting multiple Tigers, which is one against many.

The Dragon and Tiger Fight half a month later is one Dragon fighting three Tigers, and the opponent designated the use of weapons. Sister Hua wants to recommend you to be one of the Tigers."

"What are the benefits of winning?"

Li Fei asked very directly.

Liu Saner: "First is the prize money. The prize money for the Dragon and Tiger Fight is very high. If a Tiger wins, the prize money is at least 100 yuan. Second is the betting odds. The odds for Tigers are very high, usually starting at 1 to 3, sometimes reaching 1 to 5, or even 1 to 10!

I think the reason Sister Hua is willing to sell us this favor and recommend you to fight is that he might be thinking of earning a fortune relying on high odds. But I must remind you, the Dragon and Tiger Fight is very dangerous. Fighting with weapons is even more dangerous. Although there is no requirement for life or death, using weapons will inevitably draw blood. Even if you don't die, it's very easy to become disabled!"

Li Fei pondered for a moment and asked: "Can you get the detailed data of the Dragon for that Dragon and Tiger Fight half a month later?"

It's hard for him to have very high odds fighting matches one by one normally. The Dragon and Tiger Fight is a rare opportunity for him. If he can grasp it, maybe he can earn enough money for his future year of cultivation after one match!

So he didn't want to miss it easily.

Liu Saner nodded: "Sister Hua should have it. I can ask him for it, and I can also collect some myself."

"Hmm, you figure out the situation of the Dragon first and tell me tomorrow, then I will decide whether to participate."

Li Fei said.

He studied in the Stop-Goe Department of the Xingcheng Secondary Specialized School for three years, so naturally, he had practiced weapons. Although he couldn't be called very proficient, at least he could fight normally.

Plus the Ten Thousand Blood Bead and Blood Rage, he might not have no chance to fight.

More importantly, half a month later, he should have already broken through to the Body-Breaking Stage and become an official martial artist.

The next day, after coming to the Martial Arts Hall and seeing Hao Yi, Li Fei suddenly asked:

"Teacher, if I want to practice weapons, are there any suitable martial arts I can practice?"
