After several matches, it was finally Li Gang’s turn.
Once on stage, Li Gang noticed that his opponent was also a man wearing a mask—a black wolf head mask. The man was of average build, standing just over 1.7 ters tall. Although not frail, he didn’t seem particularly strong either. Compared to Li Gang, who resembled a small mountain, the other man seed downright tiny.
The referee didn’t imdiately start the fight. Instead, he had both fighters stand at opposite corners of the ring, then announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlen, the two fighters on stage today are an old friend of ours, Black Wolf, who has achieved three consecutive victories in our arena. The other fighter is a newcor, known by the codena Bear Big!"
Hearing this codena, laughter erupted from the spectators, as they were reminded of a classic animated series from hundreds of years ago.
So people even shouted, "Bear Big’s opponent should be Bald Strong. Let Black Wolf go first!"
The referee ignored the crowd’s calls and continued, "Black Wolf’s strength is obvious to all. As for Bear Big, just looking at his build tells us he’s quite capable. So, we’re in for a fierce battle. Now, those who want to place bets, please do so for your favorite fighter!"
This betting session before the actual fight is a regular part of every match. Those who frequently visit the arena are well-versed in the process and imdiately headed to the betting windows to place their bets.
So people bet on Black Wolf, because a warrior’s strength isn’t determined by their build. Moreover, Black Wolf had a record of three consecutive victories, so he was considered the favorites.
Others bet on Li Gang, for various reasons. So believed Li Gang’s massive build gave him a sense of stability, making them think he would win. Most of these bettors were won.
Others simply wanted to bet on the underdog. After all, even if they won on Black Wolf, the profit wouldn’t be much. But if Bear Big surprised everyone and won, they could make a big profit.
While those outside were busy placing bets, Wu Li couldn’t help but worry. She asked awkwardly, "Uncle Zhang, can Li Gang really do it?"
Zhang Hong remained calm and said with a smile, "Don’t worry. With Black Wolf’s strength, he’s no match for Li Gang. Even if Li Gang stands still, Black Wolf won’t be able to break through his defenses."
Wu Li felt slightly relieved, but she still couldn’t stop worrying. Li Gang was the man she had chosen for life. After all, concern always leads to anxiety.
A few minutes later, after all the bets were placed, the referee signaled for Li Gang and Black Wolf to step into the center of the ring and face each other.
"Big guy, have you decided how you want to die?"
Taking advantage of the mont before the referee announced the start, Black Wolf looked up at Li Gang, who was more than a head taller than him. He spoke in a sinister tone, his crimson tongue sticking out from under the mask to lick the wolf-like design on it.
His cold eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty light.
This was Black Wolf’s tactic. Before each fight, he used this eerie tone and bloodthirsty gaze to put pressure on his opponents. This worked especially well against inexperienced novices.
Li Gang was indeed a novice, and a very inexperienced one at that. This was actually his first real fight. Naturally, he was sowhat intimidated by Black Wolf’s words and instinctively took a step back.
Seeing this, the audience began to boo. Those who had bet on Li Gang now regretted their choices. They had seen many warriors beco timid after losing in the middle of a fight, but they had never seen anyone beco timid before even the fight started.
With such performance, even if Li Gang was stronger than Black Wolf, it was likely that he would still be defeated by soone who played the underdog.
Even Zhang Hong couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: This kid is hard to handle!
On stage, Black Wolf was excited. A novice, and a super novice at that! He finally got the chance to deal with him.
Excited, Black Wolf decided to go all out. If he could get the big guy to kneel and admit defeat, then his reputation would truly be established.
So, he continued to stare at Li Gang with that bloodthirsty gaze, laughing eerily and saying, "Kid, kneel down and admit defeat, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, not only will I kill you, but I’ll also find out everything about your background afterward. I won’t spare even your family. If you have any sisters or girlfriends, Black Wolf will gladly accept them as well."
What does it an to overdo sothing and end up achieving the opposite result? This is exactly what happened.
Originally, Li Gang had already started to back down due to Black Wolf’s terrifying appearance. But after hearing those words, his fear disappeared instantly, replaced by endless anger.
At that mont, the referee announced the start of the match, and Li Gang imdiately stepped forward toward Black Wolf.
The expected outco didn’t happen. Although Black Wolf was disappointed, he wasn’t panicked at all. He took the initiative and punched Li Gang in the chest.
"Black Wolf, kill him!" Seeing Black Wolf strike first, the spectators who had bet on Black Wolf’s victory beca excited, shouting loudly like a tsunami.
Thud!
Black Wolf’s punch hit Li Gang right in the chest, producing a muffled sound.
However, instead of being happy, Black Wolf was shocked. He felt as if his punch had struck a steel mountain.
Not only did it fail to hurt his opponent, but it also caused his hand bones to explode, practically rendering his right hand useless on the spot.
Before Black Wolf could figure out what was going on, Li Gang’s counterpunch arrived.
Puff~
A fist the size of a sandbag hit Black Wolf in the head from the side. With a light sound, Black Wolf’s head exploded like a waterlon, scattering flesh, blood, and white brain matter everywhere. Even Black Wolf’s iron mask was shattered and flew far beyond the ring.
Seeing this scene, the spectators who had been cheering for Black Wolf fell silent. The entire underground boxing arena beca completely quiet.
After a mont, cheers erupted again. This ti, the number of cheerers was less than one-tenth of those who had cheered for Black Wolf earlier, but the volu was no less loud.
Most of those who had bet on Li Gang’s victory were won, and when won scream, there’s no way n can keep up.
After another mont, even those spectators who had initially cheered for Black Wolf began to cheer as well.
Having watched many underground boxing matches, it wasn’t uncommon to see people get killed. But seeing soone’s head explode with just one punch was definitely sothing they had never seen before.
Given how exciting and bloody the scene was, the money they had lost seed insignificant compared to this.
