Chapter 288: Chapter 287: Ambitious
The next day, an exhausted He Yu arrived at Ye Fan’s room. Ye Fan knew the man had been full of energy just yesterday, so he was surprised to see him completely worn out after only one night. It was apparent that a few Western models had nearly drained him dry.
"Save your energy," Ye Fan said. "If you keep this up, you’ll end up dying in a woman’s bed!"
He Yu waved him off. "It’s nothing. I can handle it," he said, though he was clearly just putting on a brave face.
Then, Ye Fan changed the subject. "I offended Mummy yesterday."
He Yu’s expression imdiately turned grim, but then he relaxed as he rembered Ye Fan’s identity and strength. In his view, it was normal for soone with Ye Fan’s temperant to offend anyone, and the more vicious the character, the more he seed to enjoy provoking them.
"That guy looks down on everyone. Offending you, Leader, is his misfortune," He Yu said with a grin. "He’d probably piss his pants if he knew who you really are!"
Ye Fan waved the comnt aside. "Let’s forget about that for now. Besides him, who else is here for this Underground Boxing King competition?"
"First, there’s Polar Bear from the Russian training camps. He hails from a camp in the frigid zones where he once fought several black bears single-handedly, becoming a legend. Back in the day, his incredible stamina and endurance made him the international Underground Boxing King, and for a ti, he was without equal.
"Then there’s the North Arican at Grinder, Sen Ba. He’s an incredibly ferocious fighter. He once took on over a hundred underground boxers in North Arica by himself and ended up mangling all their limbs.
"Because of that, Sen Ba is currently ranked second on the champion rankings, with Polar Bear at number one.
"And of course, there’s Mummy. As the shadow Controller of Australia’s boxing scene, his personal strength should not be underestimated.
"However, all three of them have been in a state of semi-retirent. The fact that they’ve all shown up now clearly ans they have another objective besides controlling Thailand’s underground boxing market."
"What objective?" Ye Fan asked.
"The Underground Boxing Emperor," He Yu said.
At the ntion of the title, his heart filled with longing. But he knew he could never beco the Underground Boxing Emperor in his lifeti. That was sothing he could only dream about.
Ye Fan asked, "What are the benefits of becoming the Underground Boxing Emperor?"
"Becoming the Underground Boxing Emperor ans you are the sovereign of the entire Underground Boxing Ring. Anywhere in the world, you can summon all underground boxers to fight for you.
"Every single one of them, even the powerful bosses who rule their own territories, must obey your command. Anyone who dares refuse becos a public enemy to all the others.
"That is the power and honor of the Underground Boxing Emperor. And for you, Leader, if you defeat these three, the title will be yours."
He Yu was one hundred percent confident that Ye Fan would win and rightfully beco the new Underground Boxing Emperor.
"So, being the Underground Boxing Emperor has its perks," Ye Fan remarked. "That does sound sowhat interesting."
Indeed, this was sowhat interesting; otherwise, it would be too dull. Even though underground boxers from around the world were desperados whose lives could end at any mont, their combined strength was a force that no one could afford to underestimate—not even his Heavenly King Hall or King Hall.
"Speaking of the Underground Boxing Emperor," He Yu continued, "the title dates back many years. I was just a child then, but the Emperor ruled over the entire Underground Boxing World.
"Unfortunately, he was inevitably seen as a threat by the major world powers and was killed in a coordinated siege. After that, no one dared to claim the title of Underground Boxing Emperor.
"The position has been vacant for decades. It seems this Underground Boxing King competition is ant to select a new one."
Now Ye Fan fully understood. "I am determined to claim that title," he declared. "As for being besieged... heh. That depends on how strong the opponents are. King Hall itself was forged in the crucible of sieges. I do not fear being surrounded."
Ye Fan was fearless, a trait born from his imnse power.
If he beca the Underground Boxing Emperor, he would command two major forces. One would be the highly organized power centered around his Heavenly King Hall. The other would be the scattered underground boxers from all over. While disorganized, this underground network was powerful enough to rival his Heavenly King Hall. It seed this trip to Thailand was the right decision after all.
The next day, in the training room, Ye Fan saw Polar Bear and Sen Ba, two renowned masters of the Underground Boxing Ring.
These two imdiately caught Ye Fan’s attention. Their path of martial cultivation was unique: they treated their bodies as the ultimate weapon. In simple terms, their physical durability was comparable to that of King-ranked masters, and even in a battle against one, they would not necessarily lose.
Furthermore, underground boxers build their fighting style on a foundation of speed, precision, and ruthlessness. When facing Martial Artists of the sa level, they often have the opportunity for an instant kill because no one ever knows how an underground boxer will strike.
Ye Fan saw these two as wild stallions. If he could ta them, they would undoubtedly provide him with considerable power.
As for Mummy, he was a venomous scorpion. Used correctly, a scorpion stings your enemies. Used incorrectly, it stings you. Therefore, Ye Fan had no desire to subdue Mummy. If he couldn’t be used, he would be killed! This was Ye Fan’s true nature. When faced with so many ruthless characters, he beca a rciless and decisive overlord.
Sen Ba and Polar Bear also noticed Ye Fan. Although they could not sense the depths of his strength, they knew at a glance that he was a terrifyingly powerful expert. They realized that on the championship stage tomorrow, Ye Fan could beco their greatest rival.
A total of fifty fighters were participating in the Underground Boxing King competition. Each was a famous underground boxer with a significant reputation, but they were still a far cry from the likes of Mummy, Sen Ba, and Polar Bear.
That day, He Yu explained the tournant rules to Ye Fan and officially registered him for the competition.
Finally, the championship began. The central hall of the yacht was packed with over two thousand spectators, all of whom had passed through a strict screening process. These were people from extraordinary backgrounds. As Ye Fan had expected, Mummy was also planning a coback. It was clear they were all aiming for the title of Underground Boxing Emperor.
The fifty fighters began the first round of elimination.
Mummy was the first to step up, facing an underground boxer known for being fierce and untamable.
"I heard you challenged most of the underground rings across the globe and won every single match," the opponent said to Mummy.
"Correct," Mummy replied instantly.
The man scoffed. "That’s only because you never ran into . If you had, you wouldn’t have such a perfect record."
"It’s not too late to challenge
now," Mummy taunted.
"Excellent! Let
show all of you what true power looks like!" the man roared.
He charged toward Mummy, unleashing his maximum speed. "DIE!"
He aid a single punch to shatter Mummy’s skull, but just then, Mummy’s form flickered. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared directly in front of his opponent.
"What?"
"AH!"
Before the man could finish his scream, Mummy’s hand chopped down on his groin, splitting his pelvis clean in two. The thick stench of blood filled the air.
It was just as the rumors claid. Once Mummy made his move, no one survived. Years had passed, but he was as vicious as ever.
The surrounding underground boxers were visibly shaken. So of the more timid spectators fainted on the spot. Even He Yu felt a deep-seated discomfort in his loins.
"Leader, that guy is truly ruthless!" He Yu said with dread.
Ye Fan, however, just shook his head. "Ruthlessness doesn’t equate to combat strength. In my opinion, both Polar Bear and Sen Ba are far more powerful than Mummy."
"You can’t be serious," He Yu said, suddenly feeling imnse pressure. To him, Mummy was already overwhelmingly strong. If what Ye Fan said was true, the burden on their leader would be enormous.
