Chapter 143: Just admit defeat
After hearing Li Ang's response, Joseph showed an angry expression just right.

However, the next second, his expression suddenly returned to a normal smile.

Then Joseph said to a young man behind him who was filming with a handheld DV: "Hey, did you take a picture of what Mike just said? What's the angle like?"

After seeing the young man named Mike making an OK gesture, he turned back to Li Ang and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance, mainly because your reaction after knowing about it was not natural enough, so the effect now is very good.

And what you just responded to me was really clever, unlike the trash talk Mike designed for me, which was too rigid. "

Not to mention, Joseph's acting skills were quite good. At least Li Ang didn't see that he was acting at first, and thought he really met someone who was not very smart.

Li Ang also had to sigh, these people are really good at playing.

In the online world, fake things are real, real things are fake, and there is still a day when I am forced to be included in the script.

But it's normal to think about it. With Joseph's own strength, he actually has no hope of winning the championship. It's only the first round now, and there is no need for him to offend a player of similar level to him.

Therefore, no one with a little bit of brain would choose to come over at this time and carry out such meaningless things as provocation.

After Li Ang expressed his understanding, Joseph said to him excitedly:

"The number of subscriptions to your account is higher than mine. You can also forward this video when the time comes. We can follow each other and reply to each other in the comment area. This will increase the popularity."

"If you say so, by the time we finish the game, the losing side can send a few videos about defeat, revenge, and declaration of war, and they won't have to worry about running out of things to post later."

In fact, the scripts of many Internet celebrity anchors are so simple and crude, but they cannot attract the audience to watch them. It is a pity that this platform cannot conduct live PK, otherwise, it will be a good way to make money.

After the two exchanged account management skills, the topic returned to the competition.

Joseph really didn't lie about his weight.

Because of the weight requirements before the competition, he also used various methods to reduce his weight as much as possible.

Including but not limited to diet restriction, extensive exercise, sauna use, etc. These methods can quickly dehydrate your body and lose weight in a short period of time.

So after the game, he gained ten pounds in just one week.

In the following period, based on his diet and training plan, he gained another ten pounds.

"I've been watching all of your games live. To be honest, I'm surprised. If I hadn't gained weight during this period, I might not have had much confidence in facing you."

Li Ang modestly expressed his gratitude to Joseph for his praise. Nothing is more valuable than the affirmation from his opponent.

However, the conversation changed and Joseph continued:

"We were shooting videos and then we were actually in the ring. I still wouldn't hold back. Although we don't have much hope for achieving results in the future due to our weight, we can't be sorry for our hard work. And training, in short, give it your all.”

Li Ang nodded. He had one and only one goal, and that was to become the final champion.

The two were chatting when suddenly there was a huge noise and cheers from the crowd.

Even the crowd around them became a lot thinner.

Li Ang and Joseph looked over subconsciously, and it turned out that the previous champion, Vasily, nicknamed "Dumpling", appeared.

I have to say that Dana White's formalization of this competition has indeed made this player successful.

You know, when he participated in a local slapping contest in Russia, the final championship prize was only 30,000 rubles, which is equivalent to just over 3,000 yuan in RMB.

Converted into US dollars, that's only a few hundred yuan, not even as much as the price of a night's stay in a hotel here.

But today is different from the past. Now, if we want to decide who is the most popular contestant in the slap contest, there is no other choice but dumplings.

His undefeated record has still not been broken to this day.

At the same time, he is also a strong contender for the championship in this unrestricted weight class ultimate championship competition.

It's just that the championship bonus of this game is as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars. With such a high bonus and a lot of publicity, it may have attracted many experts, making this game from unpopular to popular, and the competition Sex is naturally not comparable to what it was before.

Otherwise, he can basically lock in the championship position.

The game is about to start, and Katina also turns on the live broadcast function.

Not long after the broadcast started, hundreds of viewers flooded into the live broadcast room, which was enough to show that they were also looking forward to this game.

"Hey, Li Ang, there seem to be many Chinese viewers in our live broadcast room."

Hearing Katina's greeting, Li Ang also went over to take a look and found that more than half of the live broadcast was in Chinese.

The vast majority of the spectators who come in are those who have climbed over the wall from China and are very concerned about martial arts.

When all the martial arts masters in the country are overturned one after another, or they are beaten to death and cannot enter the ring, there are still people like Li Ang who dare to prove themselves in real competitions. This is undoubtedly the only one that has attracted such a big crowd. The attention is not surprising.

Li Ang also said hello to these viewers. Although these people don't buy gifts very much, it is very good to increase their popularity and barrage.

At the same time, Li Ang estimates that his live broadcasts and published videos will also be moved to China or re-created.

You must know that many anchors actually do not become popular due to the videos they post.

Many times, the traffic brought by some second-generation videos will exceed one's imagination, making people popular in an unexpected way.

Soon, the competition field ushered in the first small climax, which was the weighing of the players.

Although there is no weight limit in this competition, this aspect is still retained.

If in the last weigh-in session, Li Ang was still among the group that appeared in the finale, then in this competition, they, the players with a small weight, almost all appeared at the front for the weigh-in.

But in fact, these few small-weight players are not weak.

Because among the one hundred players who can enter this competition, apart from the group of people who stand out in the cruel audition competition, the rest are the players who won the top three in each weight class in the previous competition. .

Li Ang originally thought that it was outrageous for him as a welterweight to participate in such an unrestricted competition.

Unexpectedly, there were still experts. He found that there were two players in front of him who weighed less than him.

One of them is a lightweight runner-up, and there is even a flyweight champion. Even if he has gained weight during this period, his current weight can only reach the standard of women's bantamweight, one hundred and twenty He weighed more than 5 pounds and was even thinner than Li Ang was before.

I have to say that these people are really desperate for popularity.

Speaking of himself, although he has not measured his weight these days, he can clearly feel that his weight has once again experienced rapid growth as his body strength increases.

Because he had to fill the vacancy in this area of ​​his body, in the last two days after he broke through to the perfect level in [Thirteen Taibao Hengqigong], his daily food intake was almost twice as much as usual.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Ang stood on the scale, the number displayed on it became 186 pounds, which is 84.4kg, nearly 170 kilograms.

This has surpassed the middleweight class and reached the standard of light heavyweight.

Joseph, who was just showing off that he had gained 20 pounds in a month, was dumbfounded because he clearly remembered that Li Ang's weight when he participated in the competition a month ago was clearly 157 pounds. It was only a month ago that he His weight actually increased by a full 29 pounds.

And even with clothes on, Joseph could see the muscle lines on Li Ang's body, which didn't look like fat at all.

This information was really shocking. He could only deduce a terrifying conclusion, that is, the last time he participated in the competition, Li Ang failed to control his weight at all and slipped from lightweight to welterweight.

But it is very possible that the weight loss was too drastic, and he was directly reduced from middleweight to close to lightweight.

In this way, the weight difference between Li Ang and him was not that big, only about a dozen pounds. In his heart, he began to feel that something was wrong. Audiences in Li Ang's live broadcast room also expressed whether Li Ang had lost weight too much, because although his weight increased by twenty or thirty kilograms this time, in fact, these weights came from the increase in physical strength. Muscle mass didn't increase much.

Therefore, Li Ang, who weighs nearly 170 kilograms now, still looks a little lean, just like a person who weighs 130 or 140 kilograms.

Unlike several of their smaller weight class players, almost all players who had achieved rankings in the cruiserweight and heavyweight classes participated in this competition.

Because their own weight is basically above 90kg, and including weight recovery and weight gain during this period, their weight is basically above 100kg. If they participate in competitions with no weight limit, there is still hope of ranking. .

Going to the back, the people who went up to be weighed were almost all strong men. The muscular men weighing 250 pounds were all starting levels, and there were quite a few over 300 pounds.

There are even a few 400-pound players, but their bodies are not as strong, they have more fat on their bodies, and their corresponding bodies are larger.

Among the contestants this time, the heaviest contestant reached a full 528 pounds, which is 239.5kg, a full 480 kilograms, nearly the weight of four adults.

When he walked onto the weighing platform, the entire platform was shaking, and his whole body was like a mountain of flesh.

Although almost all of his body is fat visible to the naked eye and looks purely puffy, in fact, as long as he can move normally, his strength will definitely not be small.

A person's arm may weigh dozens of kilograms, and a simple catheter is equivalent to the average person doing exercises with dumbbells.

Moreover, there is so much fat on the face, which is also a natural protective layer. The impact force is almost absorbed, and the ability to resist blows is also quite strong.

There is no harm without comparison. Fans who had finally gained some confidence after seeing Li Ang gain so much weight, once again sentenced Li Ang to death after seeing other players weighing two or three times as much as Li Ang.

"Anchor, if you can't beat me, there's no shame in admitting defeat. After all, all your opponents are fucking Hulks."

"I finally realized the necessity of weight division. Isn't this just beating up the kids?"

"If you get the first move, just give it a slap and quickly admit defeat. If you get the second move, just run away and that's it."

At the end of the weighing session, the number of people in Li Ang's live broadcast room has exceeded a thousand.

Seeing several large gifts floating by, Li Ang finally met the rich man who Katina mentioned to him last time and wanted to be his apprentice.

In just a short while, Li Ang received a gift worth more than one thousand US dollars.

"Come on! Every time I defeat an opponent, I will give you a gift of one thousand yuan."

However, his barrage did not receive praise from everyone. Instead, many people joked and replied below:
"I understand, it means I will only give away one thousand yuan today."

"If the anchor wins the championship, I will directly pay 10,000."

"The layout is too small. I'll just spend 100 million. Anyway, it's an unattainable goal. I don't dare to pretend to be big."

"A rational analysis shows that the first round is quite difficult. The opponent is also a weight champion and weighs more than ten kilograms more. This is also a big advantage."

It's just that Li Ang didn't have time to watch these barrages, because it was his turn to play soon.

There are many players participating this time, so multiple stages will be used to start the competition at the same time.

Logically speaking, the arena where Li Ang was standing was a duel between the two champions of the previous competition. It was actually quite interesting to watch. However, in fact, the number of spectators was not that large. More people chose to watch those. Competition for heavy weight players.

After tossing the coin, it was Joseph who started the duel, which made him feel a little relieved.

For these experienced players, going first will definitely give them a considerable advantage.

Li Ang stood opposite him quite calmly, waiting for the coming attack.

If you are afraid of even his attacks, then you basically don’t need to participate in the subsequent rounds.

After Joseph finished talking trash according to the original procedure, he focused all his attention on his arms.

"Snapped!"

Along with the loud sound, a white handprint appeared on Li Ang's face.

But apart from closing his eyes, he didn't move at all, as if the slap didn't hurt at all.

On the contrary, it was Joseph, with a look of pain on his face.

He felt that his slap was not like a slap on someone's face at all, but more like a slap on a truck tire, which made his hand hurt.

He has seen a lot of tough-talking people, but this is the first time he has seen a tough-faced person.

At this time, Li Ang could visibly feel the huge improvement in his ability to resist blows. In fact, Joseph's attack was much heavier than the slap of any opponent he encountered in the last competition.

But what he felt was not as good as the lightest attacks last time. Not to mention the discomfort, he didn't even feel much pain.

Li Ang did not take action immediately. Taking into account the strength of his shots in the last game, his strength growth during this period, and Joseph's weight, Li Ang decided to control his shot strength at 32%.

After all, we had just chatted with him for so long, so it would be inappropriate to KO him right away.

Li Ang's shot didn't involve much accumulation and preparation. However, his movements seemed casual, but in terms of power efficiency, it was almost perfect.

"Snapped!"

Although this slap did not knock Joseph down, it was enough to make him stagger and take several steps back to the side.

In less than half a minute, a slightly raised red palm print appeared on Joseph's face.

"I surrender."

Although it was a bit embarrassing to surrender in the first round, Joseph knew that he had no chance of winning.

He didn't know how much force Li Ang exerted in this slap, but what was certain was that he did not use all his strength.

And the slap he just struck with all his strength hit Li Ang on the face and caused almost no effective damage to him.

After going back and forth, as an old player, he has discovered the huge gap in strength between the two.

Therefore, the wisest choice is to decisively admit defeat and stop losses in time.

After Joseph admitted defeat, he came over and patted Li Ang on the shoulder and said with emotion:
"I may indeed be old, but I still have my vision. Save some strength, and you will definitely be able to go further."

Li Ang wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to say it.

Those in the audience who could see the details clearly had no objections to the outcome of the game. The difference in strength between the two was already quite obvious.

It's just that the fans in Li Ang's live broadcast room, because they couldn't see so clearly, always felt that Li Ang won a little too easily, as if the two of them slapped each other casually, and the one just gave up and stepped down, following the invitation. The same actors.

But this matter is easy to figure out. There is no need for Li Ang to hire actors at all. Unless he can bribe every opponent, almost all the opponents he will meet next will be stronger than Joseph.

The rich fan named "Long" also gave Li Ang a gift of 1,000 yuan as promised.

The number of people online in his live broadcast room has also reached nearly 2,000.

Soon, Li Ang's opponent in the next round also came out. He was a strong man weighing 316 pounds, or 143kg.

The group of people who had just brushed their thumbs all changed their expressions to skulls.

The difference between 186 pounds and 316 pounds is a full 130 pounds, almost an adult. What's more, the person opposite is not bloated, but a muscular man with thighs as thick as Li Ang's waist.
