Chapter 62: Dragon-Tiger Fight

On the boxing ring, Li Fei's opponent was thin, with pale skin, very long arms, and equally long fingers, his gaze somewhat sinister.

This person was Ghost Shadow Hand, one of the most popular fighters in the Yellow-tier boxing ring over the last two months.

"Begin!"

The referee at the ringside shouted loudly.

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

Just as Liu Saner had said, the opponent excelled at aggressive starts and liked to seize the initiative right from the beginning.

Ghost Shadow Hand raised his left hand, using two fingers to jab at Li Fei's eyes.

This was a move absolutely forbidden in regulated boxing matches, but it was very common in this boxing den.

Ghost Shadow Hand's speed was indeed very fast, but Li Fei had received Liu Saner's warning and was prepared in advance; he dodged the strike by turning his body, simultaneously dropping his left arm to block his left ribcage, stopping the opponent's incoming fist.

Left hand covering the eyes, right hand sneaking an attack at the ribs—this was also the fighting pattern Liu Saner had summarized for Ghost Shadow Hand.

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

At the same time he rammed his right shoulder out, he activated "Blood Rage."

His experience using "Blood Rage" a few times had led him to discover a small trick—within the first second of activating "Blood Rage," the surge of power was at its strongest; if one launched an attack against the enemy at this moment, it could cause the greatest impact.

Therefore, Li Fei activated "Blood Rage" while turning and ramming; this time, he did not consume 2 Blood Souls, but only 1, because Ghost Shadow Hand did not belong to the power-type category of opponents, and he only needed to consume 1 Blood Soul to achieve a crushing power effect against Ghost Shadow Hand.

Ghost Shadow Hand reacted very quickly, retreating in time to dodge Li Fei's ram, not letting Li Fei land the hit solidly.

Subsequently, he attacked with both hands like a thunderbolt, punching toward Li Fei with extreme speed, creating a blur of afterimages!

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

Seeing Ghost Shadow Hand use his signature ultimate technique, a burst of cheers immediately erupted from the scene.

"Good! Hit him!"

"Beat him to death!"

"."

Li Fei did not care about the fists striking him at all, directly aiming a heavy punch toward the direction where Ghost Shadow Hand was and blasting it out.

The two exchanged a move in an instant.

Ghost Shadow Hand hit Li Fei with three punches, landing on his chest's Tanzhong acupoint, his right armpit, and his left ribs. His strikes were fast and highly accurate, enough to compensate for his lack of power.

Li Fei only hit the opponent with one punch, landing on the opponent's right shoulder.

But the final result was that Ghost Shadow Hand was sent staggering by the heavy punch, his entire body nearly lifted off the ground, while Li Fei continued to step forward and punch without being affected in the slightest.

Because Ghost Shadow Hand had lost his balance and could not dodge, he could only raise his arms to block, only to be forced to retreat further by Li Fei's second punch, his body tilting as if he were about to fall.

Li Fei suddenly stepped and leaped, lifting his leg and knee, a flying knee strike fiercely slamming into Ghost Shadow Hand's lower abdomen, actually knocking him flying before he could even hit the ground!

Ghost Shadow Hand crashed into the wire mesh surrounding the boxing ring, rebounded, and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Then, with a face full of pain, he curled into a ball, clutching his lower abdomen and groaning.

He had been beaten to the point of losing all combat capability.

"Green-Faced Ghost, winner!"

The referee quickly announced the result.

From start to finish, the entire process took less than five seconds.

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

"Green-Faced Ghost!"

Bursts of cheers erupted at the scene, and the audience shouted Li Fei's name loudly.

With this, Li Fei successfully promoted his ring tier and could fight in the Profound-tier boxing ring from now on.

The minimum prize money for the Profound-tier boxing ring was 20 yuan, with a maximum of 40 yuan; the income was much higher than the Yellow-tier.

"Congratulations."

When Li Fei stepped off the ring and found Liu Saner, Hua Jie was the first to speak to him.

"Mm."

Li Fei nodded and looked at Liu Saner.

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

"Your odds for this match were 1. , principal was 100, you earned 30 yuan; count it."

As Li Fei won two consecutive matches with absolute dominance, his match odds had also decreased accordingly.

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

"Do you want to earn a big one?"

Hua Jie suddenly spoke up.

Li Fei stopped and turned to look at her: "What do you mean?"

"Do you know how to use weapons?"

Hua Jie asked.

Li Fei did not answer immediately, but instead asked in return: "You want me to fight in a weapon match?"

Liu Saner had introduced him to the three common types of boxing matches at the Qingyuan Boxing Den: bare-handed fighting, weapon fighting, and death matches.

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

"Half a month from now, there will be a Dragon-Tiger Fight in the Heaven-tier boxing ring. The Dragon General is a formal martial artist, and it is designated as a weapon fight against three Tigers. If you want, I can recommend you to be one of the Tiger Generals."

Hua Jie glanced at Liu Saner, "Don't worry, the fighter agent is still you; this sister won't steal that from you."

Dragon-Tiger Fight? Dragon General? Tiger General?

Li Fei did not understand these terms and turned his head directly to look at Liu Saner.

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

"Many thanks for Hua Jie's kind offer, but we need to consider it first."

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

Hua Jie said, then turned and left.

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

"The Qingyuan Boxing Den holds some special boxing matches every so often, and the Dragon-Tiger Fight he mentioned is one of them. The Dragon-Tiger Fight has Dragon Generals and Tiger Generals; the Dragon General is a powerful fighter, all from the Heaven-tier boxing ring, while the Tiger Generals are lower-tier fighters, adopting a format of one Dragon fighting multiple Tigers, which is one against many.

The Dragon-Tiger Fight half a month from now is one Dragon fighting three Tigers, and the opponent has designated the use of weapons. Hua Jie wants to recommend you to be one of the Tiger Generals."

"What are the benefits if I win?"

Li Fei asked very directly.

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

I think the reason Hua Jie is willing to do us this favor and recommend you to fight is probably because she wants to earn a fortune relying on the high odds. But I must warn you, the Dragon-Tiger Fight is very dangerous, and fighting with weapons is even more dangerous. Although there is no requirement to fight to the death, blood will definitely be shed once weapons are used, and even if you don't die, it is very easy to become crippled!"

Li Fei pondered for a moment and asked: "Can you get detailed information on the Dragon General for that Dragon-Tiger Fight half a month from now?"

Fighting matches one by one normally, it was hard for the odds to be very high. The Dragon-Tiger Fight was a rare opportunity for him; if he could grasp it, perhaps he could earn enough money for the next year of cultivation after just one match!

So he did not want to miss it easily.

Liu Saner nodded: "Hua Jie should have it in her hands; I can ask her for it, and I can also collect some myself."

"Mm, you first clarify the situation with the Dragon General and tell me tomorrow, then I will decide whether to participate."

Li Fei said.

He had studied at the Zhige Science School in Xingcheng for three years and naturally had practiced with weapons; although he couldn't be called highly proficient, he could at least fight normally.

Coupled with the Ten Thousand Blood Bead and Blood Rage, he might not be without a chance to fight.

More importantly, half a month from now, he should have already broken through to the Body-Breaking Realm and become a formal martial artist.

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

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