Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 249 - 174: An Unexpected Test3

"Rafe, this is my sister’s classmate, I heard he’s pretty good at fighting too, do you want to go up on the ring and have a match?"

Clearly, she still harbored feelings about her sister saying Li Ang was stronger than her friend.

Rafe, of course, knew that this net friend of his ca from a small place in Florida and that his sister’s classmate couldn’t be so formidable character, probably just a street thug.

However, as Rafe looked at the Chinese man next to Aisha with a contemptuous gaze, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"Master Li, are you also here to browse around?"

He gave Li Ang a respectful cupped-fist salute and asked.

The Chinese man before him was, startlingly, the outside fighter invited by his dojo that he had t in the eting room yesterday.

Even among the coaches of Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym, he was not the strongest, and since the dojo invited the outsider, surely the owner believed his strength exceeded theirs in order to pay for his support; looking at this, he was likely not his match.

Moreover, because of his status as an external helper, he was even more reluctant to offend Li Ang, otherwise, the boss might scold him.

"Master Li? Do you two know each other?"

Before Li Ang could answer, Aisha asked in surprise.

Rafe nodded and replied:

"Yes, Master Li is an outside fighter invited by our gym for this competition. There’s no need for a match; I’m definitely not his match."

At this mont Aisha was quite embarrassed. Although she didn’t understand much about martial arts gyms, she knew that generally, an external helper wouldn’t be weak.

Besides, her friend didn’t even qualify to participate in this competition.

Liana was also surprised; she didn’t understand how her classmate had transford into an external helper invited by a major martial arts gym.

Just by observing the coach’s attitude toward Li Ang, it was clear that Li Ang held a rather high status.

Li Ang said sowhat helplessly to his old classmate:

"You see, this is why I’m here."

"Wow! That’s so impressive."

Feeling a bit awkward, Aisha deliberately shifted her attention to the two people fighting up on the ring.

In fact, the two on the ring both belonged to the sa gym, and what they were doing was rely an exhibition match.

After the two descended, a burly, bald Chinese man jumped onto the stage.

He scanned his colleagues from the gyms below before setting his gaze directly on those from Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym.

"Does anyone from Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym want to co up and train with ?"

His sight roved until it settled on Li Ang, while the coach shook his head vehently wherever he looked.

Even if Li Ang had not co here, he would have found another excuse to invite him onto the fighting stage to test his strength.

Not expecting Li Ang to be present, it certainly saved him a lot of trouble.

Seeing the other coaches also turning their eyes toward him for help, Li Ang knew clearly that he might really have to step up to the ring.

He understood that this was likely a deliberate move by the gym to test his strength.

All that randomness about picking soone to test one’s skills was nonsense, at this ti, all gyms were united in showmanship, and those who went up were mostly engaging in staged fights, just to promote martial arts. So why, as soon as he arrived, did it beco a real fight?

And just so happens that the top fighters from Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym are not around, and everyone is relying on him?

But Li Ang was not one to shy away from a fight, on the contrary, he was quite willing to spar with others.

Rafe also considerately reminded him:

"Master Li, this is Tiansheng Martial Arts Gym’s head coach, Nie Zhaofeng. He used to be a martial monk at Shaolin Temple in China and is also a master of Xingyi Quan. His strength is formidable. It’s not that we are afraid to fight, but we are truly not his match, so you must be careful."

After hearing this from the coach, Liana also beca worried. After all, looking at the build of this bald man, he seed quite capable of fighting, not to ntion that he was the head coach of a major martial arts gym. She wanted to persuade Li Ang not to fight, but she wasn’t sure how to speak up.

Aisha, on the other hand, was quite excited; she had always doubted Li Ang’s abilities.

Li Ang smiled and replied:

"Then let’s give it a try."

After saying this, he lightly tapped his toes and glided elegantly onto the ring.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Ang had simply jumped onto the stage, but to the martial arts-trained coaches, just the power of Li Ang’s toes showed he was quite skilled.

Nie Zhaofeng, looking at Li Ang in front of him, also felt his fighting spirit rise.

Originally, when Yang Zhenghong found a disciple of an acquaintance to practice with Li Ang, seeing the general picture would have been enough, even if he could defeat Li Ang, he would deliberately lose to maintain Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym’s face while gauging the level of skill.

But when Tiansheng Martial Arts Gym heard of this plan, they clearly had their own agenda and directly sent their coach to disrupt the test.

The dispatched coach, Nie Zhaofeng, whose strength was definitely top-tier in their gym, was surely no weaker than Yi Kong, a direct disciple of Yang Zhenghong from Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym.

The reason for sending him was to potentially make Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym lose face in advance.

They were not going to hold back. If Li Ang was not competent, they were ready to defeat him soundly.

After all, as an external helper for Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym, Li Ang was representing them, and if he could not even beat their coach, it would be a declaration of Huaqiang Martial Arts Gym’s incompetence, their external helper being inferior to local coaches.

When Yang Zhenghong heard about this, he cursed.

"Damn it, that sonofabitch Huang; playing tricks on at this ti, wait until I catch you."

However, at this mont, it was clearly too late for worries, he could only hope that Li Ang was genuinely capable; otherwise, they would be embarrassed.
