"Well, at the very least you sure have courage, I will give you another chance." Liu Lianglong saw Tang Yan"s confident gaze and acquiesced."Coach!" When they heard Liu Lianglong"s words, the following boxers were completely incensed.
The Asian Games Trials were the very last chance to enter the Asian Games. Each country was allocated a certain number of places. Even the quota each province could send to the trial was limited, but now Liu Lianglong was giving out a chance to an outsider, this meant robbing them of their spot potentially, which was absolutely unfair to others.
"Xiong Haojie!"
However, Liu Lianglong"s next sentence instantly shut up everyone.
This time it was Lu Yun"s turn to say: "Coach!"
"Yes, coach." At this moment, the boxers under the ring consciously made a path, for a boxer who had a similar to Liu Lianglong. He came up and smiled looking at the ring.
"He is the 51kg flyweight ace for the national team this time. I will give you a day to prepare. Tomorrow, as long as you can beat him, I can guarantee you 100% a place in the trials." He said in a firm tone.
This time, the crowd was surprisingly quiet, none of the boxers were dissatisfied any longer. Instead, some of them were gloating in their hearts.
Xiong Haojie was a boxer in the national team. Don"t mention victory, there was still the question of whether or not he could last a round.
Liu Lianglong said all this but in fact he hoped that Tang Yan would retreat.
"Okay, I"ll hold you to your word." Out of everyone"s expectations, Tang Yan said in agreement.
Lu Yun looking at Tang Yan was about to speak but then bit his tongue.
"To be honest." Liu Lianglong also smiled at this time. "I"m looking forward to seeing what your made of tomorrow."
"I"ll try not to surprise you too much." Tang Yan said with a smile.
Liu Lianglong shook his head with a smile, then did not say anything and immediately turned to the boxing ring.
.....
When they came out of the Guangxi Boxing Center, Tang Yan still had a relaxed expression but Lu Yun showed a dignified face.
"Looks like I"ll be fighting your elder tomorrow." Tang Yan said to Lu Yun with a smile.
"Your still in the mood to make a joke." Lu Yun wasn"t laughing at Tang Yan"s words. Instead, he said with a dignified face. "Do you know that Xiong Haojie is the younger brother of Xiong Chaozhong?"
"Xiong Chaozhong?" Tang Yan was a little surprised this time.
In Chinese boxing history, two names were extremely prominent and influential. One was the two-time Olympic gold medalist Zou s.h.i.+ming, the other was the two-time defending WBC minimumweight champion, Xiong Chaozhong.
Although it was only 2010 and Xiong Chaozhong hadn"t yet gone on to win his first belt, but he was already famous in China. It was no exaggeration to say that he was invincible in China.
This Xiong Haojie was actually his brother.

"Now do you know what sort of trouble your in? Although he doesn"t compare to the strength of Xiong Chaozhong, in the flyweight cla.s.s, he basically has few opponents in China, let alone you are probably only around 49kg to boot." Lu Yun said in a tepid tone.
Tang Yan smiled and said: "This is interesting."
"Interesting..." Lu Yun looked at Tang Yan without a word. "Coach is giving you the runaround."
Tang Yan suddenly put away his smile, stopped and looked at Lu Yun: "Don"t you believe in me?"
"I...." Lu Yun looked at Tang Yan"s serious expression. When he thought of the scene in Singapore, he nodded. "Trust you."
"That"s good to here bro." Tang Yan immediately smiled again, followed by a light punch on Lu Yun"s shoulder, he said, "Let"s go back, I haven"t eaten Chinese food in a while, I"ve been missing it."
Lu Yun sighed silently but quickly followed.
...
The next day, Tang Yan once again went to the Guangxi Boxing Centre.
Yesterday"s boxers were all present, even Zhao Li, who he KO"d yesterday was there, having recovered.
When he saw Tang Yan, he couldn"t help but gnash his teeth.
It was obvious that they were all waiting to see Tang Yan lose.
Tang Yan noticed at Liu Lianglong"s side, next to him was a man wearing a tracksuit who was like 5"11 or so. Looking at the body posture of Liu Lianglong, he seemed to be a higher up.
"Xiong Haojie not only has heavy punches, but also great footwork. You have to pay attention to it." Before the game, Lu Yun warned Tang Yan.
Tang Yan nodded, Xiong Chaozhong was an avid follower of Muhammad Ali"s style, and his younger brother certainly learned some fancy footwork. To float like a b.u.t.terfly.
After Lu Yun helped him put on his protective gear, he jumped into the boxing ring.
"I thought you wouldn"t come, since you dared to, at least it proves that you are a man." Xiong Haojie said to him.
"I never run from a fight." Tang Yan said faintly.
Xiong Haojie nodded with a look of appreciation.
"You have great potential. If you train and take your time, you will definitely have a good future, just..."
"Let"s just fight and not waste time. I"ve already made up my mind"
Tang Yan didn"t wait for Xiong Haojie to finish and said directly, he was now thinking of fighting in the Asian Games, he had no interest in wasting saliva.
"Good! Good!" Xiong Haojie"s speech was interrupted, and his tone changed. "I was gonna save you some face due to Lu Yun. But it"s best I teach you a lesson and get rid of that haughty att.i.tude now!."
Tang Yan didn"t pay attention to the words of Xiong Haojie, and stretched out his hand.
Xiong Haojie also reached out and stepped forward. After they touched gloves, they stepped back one step.
"Xiong Haojie, KO him!"
"Xiong Haojie, end him with a punch!"
The two sides opened up a distance and the other boxers couldn"t help but shout.
After seeing Tang Yan"s att.i.tude, they couldn"t bear it.
Tang Yan ignored the disturbance from the audience, and stood sideways, still posing in the southpaw horse stance.
Xiong Haojie was in a orthodox stance with his left foot farther in front of the right foot, thus having his weaker side closer to the opponent. His arms were up in a high guard position on either sides of his face but slightly in-front in an attacking posture.
It seemed that he was really ready to knockout Tang Yan to the ground.
