Chapter 119: Fists are the Ultimate Argument!
The three entered the teahouse.
Chu Yuxuan kept pointing out the exquisite aspects of the teahouse to Xu Yunxiao, such as the quality of the wood and the decorations, all made from top-notch materials. For instance, a paper fan placed in one of the corridors was worth a hundred thousand.
The more he pointed out, the more it actually irked Xu Yunxiao.
Soon.
Led by Chu Yuxuan.
The trio passed through a corridor leading underground to the fighting ring.
The atmosphere in the ring was incredibly lively.
The air was filled with the wild shouts filled with hormones.
Since Qin Feng had a Supreme Card, he could choose any seat he wanted. Chu Yuxuan initially wanted to watch the fight up close since his regular membership card only allowed him to sit at the back. This was a rare opportunity to experience the life-and-death fervor of the ring.
But Qin Feng preferred to keep a low profile, so he chose the back seats.
"Hmph, hiding so far back, you must be afraid of being accidentally hurt by the fighters, right? What a coward."
Chu Yuxuan muttered with a grimace.
At that moment.
He suddenly saw a few people sitting not far away, and he was surprised, saying to Xu Yunxiao, "Quick, look over there! I really didn't expect them all to come!"
"Who?"
Xu Yunxiao looked over, puzzled.
"It's the members of the 'Invincible Club' that I mentioned before—Feng Guoqiang, Zheng Weiwei, Pang Dahai, Zhou Yiming, Momo—they're all over there!" Chu Yuxuan said excitedly, "For these big shots to get together isn't easy! They must be here to cheer for Mr. Fang Wudi."
Xu Yunxiao was also surprised upon seeing them.
As Chu Yuxuan said, these high-society figures, actually came to a place that seemingly didn't match their status.
She certainly didn't understand the ways of the upper echelons well enough.
"Then why are they watching the fights? Are they betting like most people here?"
Xu Yunxiao asked, puzzled.
"Exactly, but when they bet, they bet big. If there are disputes in the business world that can't be resolved, they often choose to settle it through fighting. Each side hires fighters to battle, and they determine wins and losses on the field," Chu Yuxuan explained.
"Doesn't that mean whoever spends more money to hire a better fighter wins? That seems a bit unfair!"
"It's not like that. Hiring a fighter is also a measure of strength. If your dispute is over a mere few million, then it's not worth spending millions to hire a fighter, right? So, it only makes sense for you to hire a cheaper fighter. But if someone with strength doesn't mind losing money to hire a strong fighter, doesn't that show their capability?"
"I see..."
Xu Yunxiao suddenly understood, she didn't expect that in this era, such blunt methods were still used to solve problems.
"The higher you climb in life, the more you will realize the value of returning to simplicity. For instance, your so-called business competition, once it reaches a certain level, turns into a contest of fists," Qin Feng interjected, "A fist is the ultimate argument!"
"Yes, yes, that's exactly it!" Chu Yuxuan promptly agreed, but on realizing that such a philosophical statement came from Qin Feng, who he thought of as a country bumpkin, he frowned and said, "You're wrong, anyway... let's just watch the fight!"
The combat on the ring was intense.
Punch after punch landed solidly.
Blood splattered.
It reeked of the primitive law of the jungle.
Finally.
The match ended, and the next bout was about to begin.
The host on stage shouted passionately: "The next matchup will be the highlight of tonight's event! First up, we have—Fang Wudi!!"
Dressed in a loose white training outfit, Fang Wudi stepped onto the ring.
Thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd below.
"His popularity's not bad,"
Qin Feng commented.
"You have no idea. His reputation in Lake City is huge!" Chu Yuxuan boasted proudly, as if he himself were Fang Wudi.
The host continued to shout: "Next up, you may not be familiar with him, but he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings from Tiger Sect of Jiang City—the Thunder King!"
As the words fell.
The crowd below was stunned for a moment, but then burst into even more ferocious cheers!
Thunder King and the others didn't hear that.
But Tiger Sect had.
It was a significant underground organization in Hanjiang Province's Jiang City, which had cultivated many masters.
Just hearing the words "Four Heavenly Kings" was enough to know they were formidable.
No wonder the cheers were even louder.
Even.
Many people felt sorry for Fang Wudi, thinking he was bound to suffer a defeat this time.
"You must not know how terrifying Tiger Sect is, huh?" Chu Yuxuan said excitedly, "Later, I'll tell you all about how mighty Tiger Sect is."
"Uh, we know..."
Xu Yunxiao said.
Recently, during the adventure at Nine Dragons Mountain, the Zhao Family had hired a few masters from Tiger Sect for protection, but they ended up being scared off by wolves.
"What you know is different. Aside from the Sect Leader, the most formidable in Tiger Sect are the Four Heavenly Kings!"
Chu Yuxuan explained.
"..."
At this moment, Qin Feng blankly blinked his eyes and said, "Him? And he dares to call himself a 'Heavenly King'?"
"Nonsense, he is a master of Inner Strength!"
Chu Yuxuan was annoyed to see this freeloader and upstart scoffing at Thunder King and said, "Do you know what Inner Strength is? A person with Inner Strength can kill a cow with a single punch! Don't spout nonsense about things you don't understand!"
"..."
Qin Feng was extremely embarrassed.
He himself was the new generation "Heavenly King" from Heavenly King Mountain and had always acted low-key before his feathers were fully fledged; to see someone with just Inner Strength calling themselves "Heavenly King"...
"Alas, I didn't expect that Gu Yuanshan would invite a Heavenly King from Tiger Sect. This time, Mister Fang Wudi seems to have really fallen into a trap."
Chu Yuxuan shook his head and sighed.
Not far away.
Feng Guoqiang, Pang Dahai, and the others looked somewhat nervous at this moment.
"This is bad, another master of Inner Strength!"
Feng Guoqiang worriedly said.
The scene of Fang Wudi having his bones shattered by Zhao Tianba's punch was still fresh in his memory, as well as the gap between a master of Inner Strength and an ordinary master.
"Since Master had Master send him in, he must have his reasons. Let's continue watching!"
Zheng Weiwei said.
On this side.
After observing Thunder King for a while, Qin Feng said, "Fang Wudi will win."
"You idiot, I already told you, Thunder King is a rare master of Inner Strength, capable of killing a cow with a single punch!"
Chu Yuxuan said disdainfully.
Qin Feng initially didn't want to bother with this insignificant person, but with a twirl of his eyeballs, he said, "How about we make a bet?"
"Betting on what?" asked Chu Yuxuan.
"Betting ten million, how about that? If Thunder King wins, I lose you ten million; if Fang Wudi wins, you lose me ten million, what do you think?" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuxuan's heart lit up and said, "Alright! No going back on your word!!"
He had inquired about a lot of the power distribution in Lake City since returning to the country, including some information about Fang Wudi.
Although Fang Wudi was very formidable, he was not a master of Inner Strength and was sure to be defeated by Thunder King.
So, Qin Feng was bound to lose!
Chu Yuxuan knew that Qin Feng was a pauper and would definitely not have ten million; when the time came, he'd use this excuse to force him to leave Xu Yunxiao!
"Humph, you're asking for it!"
Afraid that Qin Feng would go back on his word, Chu Yuxuan immediately grabbed some paper and a pen to draft a betting agreement and signed it...
