After the Zhongyi Hall boy carefully explained that the most important thing was the generous rewards for participating in the ring competition, Master Yan finally nodded and agreed to participate. He was quite confident in his own strength.
"To be honest, Master Yan, Master Hu has already issued an order. Anyone who recommends heroes with real abilities to participate in the ring competition will get a lot of benefits from every recommender like me!"
When Master Yan agreed to participate in the ring competition at Pier Entertainment City, his loyal brother, who had been persuading him, revealed his true intentions.
Master Yan was not angry. For him, this was a win-win situation. As long as he could really make a lot of money, it wouldn't be a problem even if he was asked to give some of it to the younger brother Zhongyi who was actively persuading him.
Besides, he was quite satisfied with the other party's frankness. He packed up the street performers, agreed on a time and place with the boy from Zhongyi Hall, and then returned to the rented inn briskly.
"Master Yan is back!"
As soon as we returned to the rental inn, the waiter greeted us warmly, "How are you, Master Yan? Business today should be good, right?"
"fine!"
Master Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I'll bring some wine and food to my house later!"
"Okay!"
The waiter suddenly beamed with joy, thinking that Master Yan would have to give him a tip later.
…
"Come on, come on, knock him over, knock him over..."
The arena area of Pier Entertainment City was as crowded as ever. The spectators who filled the seats were full of excitement, waving their hands, shouting loudly, and roaring at the contestants on the arena.
Master Yan was wearing a close-fitting short-fighting suit. His muscles were bulging out of his clothes, and his fists and feet were as fast as wind and thunder. With a few punches, he knocked the strong foreign man in front of him to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Master Yan, Master Yan..."
Suddenly the audience burst into thunderous cheers, and the voices became unified as if they were about to tear down the roof.
Master Yan clenched his fists and raised his hands high, nodding towards the crowded auditorium, which attracted even more crazy and loud cheers.
He was a little addicted, but he couldn't help but feel excited. The feeling of hundreds of people shouting in unison and cheering for just him was so wonderful.
The name of Yan Zhendong in the iron cloth shirt was not only well-known in Pier Entertainment City, but also in the entire Chancheng world, and he was also a powerful master who had recently emerged.
From a previously unknown street performer to a famous martial arts master in Chan City, it only took him a mere month and five fights.
The name of Qilu Tiebushan Yan Zhendong can be regarded as a resounding brand name.
…
"This guy's hard work is really amazing!"
From an inconspicuous position in the auditorium, Lei Hu looked at Yan Zhendong, who was stepping briskly into the ring, and smiled at Lin Shirong beside him, "I'm afraid he is already a senior Ming Jin master!"
"Sure enough, there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world!"
Lin Shirong's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Master Tiebushan Yan's martial arts skills are really amazing!"
"How about it? Are you interested in having a fight with him in the ring?"
Lei Hu looked calm. Although he was curious about Yan Zhendong's appearance, he was not too surprised. He already knew how powerful Yan Zhendong was.
This is definitely a tragic character. In the first Huang Feihong movie, Yan Zhendong's martial arts skills were extremely powerful, and he could fight Huang Feihong without losing, but in the end he died under the gunfire of a foreigner. His death was too aggrieved.
Even if Huang Feihong never exerts his full strength, this is his old habit. He will not do anything too extreme unless it is absolutely necessary. This is probably what the so-called gentleman's golden mean means.
Yan Zhendong's strength is also quite astonishing. According to Lei Hu's estimation, he must at least be at the level of Ming Jin in the later stage. Otherwise, even if Huang Feihong doesn't exert his full strength, it will not be easy for Yan Zhendong to fight him evenly.
Ming Jin is a master in the late stage!
Lei Hu was eager to try at this time and had the idea of fighting him.
It's not that his strength is comparable to Yan Zhendong, but that a master of Yan Zhendong's level will encounter great difficulties in the ring.
In other words, Yan Zhendong came from Qilu and had no foundation in the southern martial arts world. Otherwise, with his strength, there would be no problem in opening a gym and teaching apprentices. Why would he need to earn hard-earned money in the ring?
Although the rewards for the winner of the ring competition and the appearance fees are expensive, they have to be earned at great risks. If the boat accidentally capsizes in the gutter, the fun will be great.
The younger brother of Zhongyi Hall who knows everything, and the martial arts masters from Chancheng and even the surrounding areas who occasionally participate in the ring competition are just that. When you meet them, you will at least know what you are doing and there will not be too much deviation.
The strength is all on the surface, and whether you win or lose is actually determined from the beginning.
Of course, nothing is absolute. If someone has stronger self-control and is contemptuous when entering the ring, he may be in trouble. This kind of thing doesn't happen only once or twice.
With the lessons learned from the past, the martial arts masters who compete in the future will basically not let down their guard. It is not impossible to defeat the strong with the weak, but the probability is pitifully small.
The key is that there are too many variables among the foreign players participating in the ring competition. There has been little communication before, and no one knows what the strength of these foreign players is.
Foreign players who are able to compete and are confident are either physically strong and powerful, or their methods are particularly powerful. They are more likely to have experienced bloody actual combat, and they should not be underestimated at all.
The Western boxing skills of this era were not as standardized and strict as they would later be. They could not only move their hands but also their feet. The fights were quite bloody and cruel, with casualties often occurring.
None of the foreign boxers who can survive the bloody and cruel boxing ring is a simple character.
There are also some foreign experts with special means. They have basically experienced the baptism of blood and are not easy to deal with at all.
In addition, the bodies of foreign players are generally stronger than those of Qing Dynasties, and they appear to be taller, stronger, and more powerful. If one accidentally gets hit from the front, the end will definitely be worrying.
The ring competition in Pier Entertainment City has been going on for more than a year. In such a long period of time, there have been at least a thousand battles. Of course, there have been cases of being beaten to death and seriously injured by foreign players.
This group of foreign fighters had no idea what it was to hold back their hands. They fought extremely ferociously and crazily. There were many cases where martial arts masters who were not as strong as them or even had a bad mentality were defeated or even beaten to death in the end.
Even though the logistical and medical support in the arena was adequate, the injuries suffered by the foreign players were too heavy to bear. So far, at least more than twenty Qing warriors have died, including the Zhongyi Hall disciples and the so-called martial arts masters, who were injured and disabled.
The number is even more than fifty.
That is to say, the rewards for entering the ring in the entertainment city are indeed very high. Whether you are beaten to death or disabled, you will receive additional subsidies, which can at least be enough for a family to save food for more than ten years. Such generous rewards are the only way to fight in the ring.
