In high spirits, Shi Lei walked toward the door Song Miaomiao had pointed out.
He pushed it opened and, as expected, there was a small room. It had a row of couches and two closets on the side with shorts and gloves.
It seemed that although this place was an underground fighting ring, they didn’t want any unnecessary deaths and allowed the boxers to wear gloves.
As soon as Shi Lei walked in, he heard a light clicking that he a.s.sumed to be the lock.
“Heart of a villain!” Shi Lei’s lips twitched in disdain. He looked at the shorts of varying colors and lengths and eventually shook his head and gave up on them. Who knew what kind of people had worn them before?
He took off his jacket. After a moment of hesitation, Shi Lei also took off the shirt inside. He could feel that although the warehouse was quite s.p.a.cious, it was rather warm and he wouldn’t be cold even if he fought without a top on.
He didn’t take his pants off as it wouldn’t look nice to fight on stage in his underwear. Luckily, Shi Lei was wearing jeans and they shouldn’t restrain his actions too much.
He picked up a pair of gloves and tried them on. They felt fine. He then finally said to the phone, “Click on Ancient Times’ Martial Arts.”
The screen of the phone that was lying on the couch lit up. The app for martial arts opened and three portraits appeared.
Since there weren’t any details on them except a name, Shi Lei just casually picked the first one.
The icon of the first martial arts lit up slightly more than the others. A dialogue popped up, asking whether or not he wanted to choose this martial arts master.
Shi Lei walked to the door. He pulled opened a small gap and called out loudly after glancing outside, “Are you guys ready? I’m almost ready! Let’s hurry up and stop procrastinating. There’s plenty of time to enjoy the night!”
The malicious man didn’t really have any reaction to what Shi Lei said, but Song Miaomiao felt like her lungs were about to explode. This brat. It was clearly for her. What time to enjoy? It was basically having s.e.x with her for 500,000 yuan if he could still stand at the end of the fight.
“We’re waiting for you to come out!” The malicious-looking man was one who spoke up.
“Okay, confirm!” Shi Lei said to his phone. With that, he lightly b.u.mped his fists together, but didn’t feel any difference in his body. Suddenly, he had a sinking feeling. Could it be that the Black Card was trolling him? What if he wasn’t possessed by a martial arts master?
Things had already happened and Shi Lei’s condition of having a nerve missing in his brain appeared again. He couldn’t escape from it either way, so he might as well see how it would go.
Shi Lei swept the curtain aside, walking out wearing the same jeans and socks while revealing his naked torso.
Although the malicious-looking man and Song Miaomiao hated Shi Lei, they felt sympathetic seeing him be so careless and fooling around. This guy doesn’t have any muscles. Won’t he fall down with a single blow?
Shi Lei saw them and even waved his fists at them, as if welcoming their cheers. Their slight sympathy immediately disappeared into thin air.
A man at least 1.85 meters tall with the appearance of a black tower walked over to Shi Lei and spoke in stiff, broken Chinese, “Are you the guy who doesn’t know his own limits? I’ll break your two legs and shatter you chin!”
Without needing to ask, this was Tachai(1). His name sounded southeast Asian. Underground fighting was extremely popular in that area. After many professional boxers retired, they went underground for money.
Shi Lei glanced up at Tachai and realized that it was rather difficult for him to create an imposing aura because there was a big difference in height as well as weight. The muscles on his arms looked like they had been a.s.sembled. Shi Lei looked at his own body. Thin arms and legs. They were probably robust compared to ordinary people, but he was as weak as a chicken compared to those who boxed for a living.
But Shi Lei wasn’t scared. He had a strong heart…Uh, mainly because he had faith in the Black Card’s powers. There was no need for a mysterious thing that could wipe out a human by turning them into a mist of blood to make him die such a miserable death under the hands of a boxer, right? If Shi Lei was going to be killed, then the Black Card should do the deed itself.
Shi Lei ignored Tachai and walked to the ring that was in the middle of the warehouse.
It really was built like a professional boxing ground. The middle was the ring with steps built around it. The direction Shi Lei walked toward led to a long table. Behind the table was a tightly shut door. On one side was where Shi Lei had walked out earlier and the other was probably also a changing room.
But obviously, there was no audience today, although he could imagine what it would look like when it was filled with people. The seats would be filled, and the long table in front of the door was probably where the a.n.a.lyst sat. Then, the boxers would come out from their changing rooms on either side, waving their arms around. The situation would probably be really exciting even before the doors opened.
Shi Lei walked to the ring. It was a bit tall. He felt that he would look better if he jumped onto the ring from the corner.
He was probably already possessed by the martial arts master, so he should have qinggong(2) and wanted to try it out.
Standing next to the ring, Shi Lei jumped…
It wasn’t as easy and as cool as what he’d imagined. He only jumped up and fell back down.
Shi Lei scratched his head with the glove and thought it was rather awkward. But why didn’t I feel anything different? Am I really still the same old me?
When they saw Shi Lei’s actions, Song Miaomiao and the malicious-looking man shook their heads. At that moment, the Thai boxer whom Song Miaomiao found also came over.
He wasn’t too tall, about 1.7 meters. Shi Lei lowered his head to look down at him.
His weight was also not like the previous one. The muscles were much more restrained and not as exaggerated. But Shi Lei could almost sense the danger and all the hair on his body stood up.
“This guy has killed someone before!” Shi Lei was alarmed. Then, he felt all the muscles in his body contract violently. He didn’t back off, instead taking one step toward the Thai boxer.
The boxer was astonished when he felt a b.e.s.t.i.a.l aura rise Shi Lei. He’d initially wanted to walk toward him, but somehow found that he could not move a single step forward.
In this situation, Shi Lei’s aura changed drastically. The Thai boxer babbled for some time in a rough tone. Apparently, he hadn’t left Thailand for long and didn’t know how to speak Chinese yet.
Shi Lei was helpless. “What did he say?” he asked Song Miaomiao. “Can you translate it for me?”
In that instant, even Song Miaomiao and the malicious-looking man had felt the sudden change in his aura. After hearing those words, the threatening aura completely disappeared and he returned to his idiot-like manner.
“He said that he will break every single bone in your body!” Song Miaomiao told Shi Lei coldly.
Shi Lei nodded. “Okay, tell him not to bother. The two of them can come at me together. I want to end it as soon as possible!”
Tachai: the name which Shi Lei heard from Yingzi. It’s not his actual name but just a close p.r.o.nunciation to what it sounded like
Qinggong: the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed and abilities such as walking on water
