Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Pursat Province, Cambodia!
Night falls.

This place is about 350 kilometers away from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The Phnom Penh Port Industrial Park is brightly lit.

The entire Pursat province of Cambodia has been very lively lately.

Many wealthy people from all over Southeast Asia, and even Asia, come here seeking thrills.

Underground boxing matches—fights to the death!

Every life-or-death fight attracts countless spectators.

The boxing matches here have slightly different rules from those in underground boxing matches in Myanmar and Yunnan where fighters are arranged in advance.

Take the stage!

That's right, the competition here is about seizing the throne.

This is completely different from the "ring of fire" at the Kokang Old Street Boxing Stadium in Myanmar and Yunnan.

To 'seize the title,' one must first become the title holder before being eligible to defend the title.

and,

Every boxing ring requires that a boxer must become a 'second-tier champion' before they are eligible to start a 'defense' battle.

However, there are no restrictions on challenging others to the top spot.

Once you step into the ring and defeat your opponent, you can continue fighting.

The bonus will also double!
Moreover, the bets can continue to be placed.

Therefore,
It's very attractive to any wealthy person who would place a bet.

For example, if someone is the first to step into the ring and wins their first match, they will receive a prize of $500,000.

So the second round is for someone else to take the title!

The prize money for the boxing match then became one million US dollars.

After winning the second fight, the prize money for the third fight became two million US dollars.

Keep scrolling upwards!

This competition for the title entered its most intense phase from the very beginning.

of course,

In general, 90% of the prize money from these boxing matches is taken by the faction representing the boxer.

For example, even if Zhang Changlei manages to win and clear the level tonight.

He could only receive 10% of the total prize money; the rest was taken by the industrial park behind him.

Whether or not they can ultimately leave depends on the mood of the person in charge of the industrial park behind them.

If someone steals the spotlight midway through, there is only one outcome—death!

This is a fight to the death!
Boxers are just tools for betting on boxing matches; nobody cares about a boxer's life.

The largest industrial park in Pursat province, Cambodia, has been temporarily converted into an underground boxing ring.

This venue can accommodate approximately three thousand spectators.

From the outside, the entire boxing ring looked very simple.

In the stands near the octagonal boxing ring, a burly, shirtless young man with fierce eyes sat watching the fight with an air of authority.

His muscles were relaxed, exuding a sharp killing intent, his edge fully revealed.

What is most shocking is the scar on his abdomen.

This is not a knife wound, but a laceration caused by the claws of a wild beast slicing through the skin.

Judging from his appearance, one might easily mistake him for being thirty years old.

but,

Those who know him know that he is only eighteen years old this year.

Looking old for a young age!

This is a side effect caused by overdrawing the body's potential after using extreme training methods.

at this time,

On the octagonal boxing ring, two boxers were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Go! Go!"

Hysterical screams and shouts erupted from the surrounding audience seats.

Bang, bang, bang—!
The boxing match in the ring was extremely intense, brutal, and deadly, providing an extreme visual impact.

but,

This tall, prematurely aged young man kept his eyes slightly closed, showing no interest in the boxing match.

People around him even thought he was sleeping.

But the fierce killing intent emanating from his bare chest kept the other spectators from making a sound, for fear of provoking him.

"Jimmy, you're heading to North America next week, right?"

"In a small place like Cambodia, there aren't many experts among those participating in the 'Fist of Life and Death' competition."

"There are quite a few Muay Thai champions in Bangkok and Chiang Mai in southern Thailand, but unfortunately they are unwilling to come to Pursat Province. The power dynamics there are chaotic, and the safety of many Muay Thai champions cannot be guaranteed."

Next to the young man named Jimmy sat another young man.

He looked at Jimmy, who looked older than his age, with admiration.

This young man was also a boxer named Dems.

It's obvious that Dems' strength is significantly inferior to Jimmy's.

"Many Chinese boxers have come to this 'Fist of Life and Death' event, including several Sanda King-level masters."

Jimmy slightly opened his eyes and said calmly.

Dems curled his lip in disdain and snorted coldly:

"Apart from a few top-level Sanda champions, the other Chinese boxers are not very strong."

"Last time in Chiang Mai, southern Thailand, I killed a master who claimed to be the King of Chinese Sanda on the spot. It only took a little over two minutes."

"With your strength, you can end the battle in half a minute at most."

“We need to be wary of people from other underground boxing training camps, especially those from the Kamba and Siberian training camps.”

Jimmy shook his head, took a deep breath, and said:
"You're wrong! There is another true powerhouse in China, but unfortunately he can't come here, otherwise I would like to witness his peak combat power."

boom--!
After saying that, Jimmy concentrated all his strength, exuding a powerful fighting spirit.

Contemplate!
No, it's not meditation!
Rather, Jimmy's mental state is remarkably similar to the initial meditation of the Refining Spirit Realm.

Judging from the fighting spirit emanating from Jimmy at this moment.

His condition was very similar to that of "Far East Tiger" Tughlev, whom Chen Jie first encountered in the underground boxing ring in Kokang, Myanmar, Yunnan, and Southeast Asia.

Jimmy!

A young boxing prodigy at the Bangalore underground boxing training camp.

He earned the 'Hero' medal at the Bengawang underground boxing training camp at the age of sixteen after killing Indonesia's top boxing champion.

He is eighteen years old this year and is one of the top three 'king-level' fighters in terms of overall strength among the fighters in the Bangalore underground boxing training camp.

Simultaneously.

He was also a key figure being cultivated by the Bangkawang underground boxing training camp.

All the glory he has achieved is the result of his hard work and dedication.

He entered the Bangalore underground boxing training camp at the age of eight and has stood out from hundreds of teenagers ever since.

Although his potential has been continuously stimulated, his face has aged.

but,

He felt no regret whatsoever.

Seeking only brilliance, not eternity!
This is his motto; he is willing to pay any price to improve his abilities.

"You mean the War King? Jimmy, this is Cambodia. With the War King's strength, there's no way he could come here."

"After winning the championship in Yangon, Myanmar, he withdrew from the underground boxing scene in Southeast Asia and has not appeared for a long time."

Demus shook his head and said:

"The King of War is too strong. He has swept through the underground boxing scene in Southeast Asia. No one can stop him."

"Jimmy, although you are very strong, I must remind you that if the War King appears, you must avoid fighting!"

“He’s not someone you can handle! If you were to die in Cambodia, it would be the biggest loss for Bengalvan.”

Upon hearing this, Jimmy snorted coldly, his eyes radiating an incomparably domineering fighting spirit:

"Hmph! What's there to be afraid of in death? I've already dedicated my life to the ring. If I can die in the ring, wouldn't that be an honor?"

"If I can challenge and defeat the War King, I will die without regret!"

Because Chen Jie had disguised himself when he fought in the underground boxing world of Southeast Asia. Meanwhile,

He used the alias 'War King'.

In the entire Southeast Asian underground boxing world, he is widely recognized as the number one person who bets on boxing matches – the King of Fighters!
The king of Southeast Asian underground boxing, the white-headed Buddha of European underground boxing, and half a fox of South American underground boxing.

These three represent the invincible powerhouses of the three great gambling and boxing meccas, and have never been defeated.

of course,

Above these three is a powerful figure who dominates the North American underground boxing scene—Death!
Only the top echelons of the global underground boxing betting alliance know that these four people are actually one person.

The higher-ups at the Bangalore underground boxing training camp naturally knew Chen Jie's identity.

but,

Jimmy and the other young fighters at the Bangalore underground boxing training camp had no access to any of this.

Their goal is still to challenge Zhan Wang, the number one underground boxing champion in Southeast Asia!

As for Death, no one has dared to challenge him yet!

because--

Death is not human.

How could a human possibly kill a pride of lions with their bare hands?!
Jimmy's gaze turned icy, and he said with unwavering determination:

"My purpose in coming to Cambodia this time is to hone my skills and commemorate my coming of age with blood."

"Although the War King is very strong, he hasn't appeared for almost two years!"

"For boxers like us to improve, we must forge our glory with the blood of the strong."

"If we lose the will to challenge the strongest, then we will lose the spirit to stand at the pinnacle of global martial arts."

"War King, White-Haired War Buddha, Half-Fox, which one of them didn't go through the most brutal baptism of bloody battles before reaching the top of underground boxing?"

"Only by experiencing the trials of life and death can one develop an invincible state, break free from constraints, and possess extraordinary willpower."

"My martial art is about killing, and it does not allow me to back down in any way."

Demus nodded slightly and said, "Jimmy, I understand what you're thinking!"

then,

He looked up at the octagonal boxing ring and said:
"The most efficient way to hone your skills is to go through the most brutal challenges."

"The overall strength of the fighters participating in this 'life-or-death' fight in Pursat Province, Cambodia, is too low."

“I think you’re wasting your time here. You’d be better off fighting at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.”

"I heard that the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium recently reopened the 'Bloody Battle' event. Although the prize money isn't high, the fighters are much stronger overall!"

"With your current strength, you should be able to sweep aside all the Muay Thai champions in the Southeast Asian underground boxing scene."

Jimmy said calmly:

"The Muay Thai champions at the Bangkok Boxing Stadium in Southern Thailand are relatively weak overall; they couldn't withstand the King of Fighters' punches for more than two minutes!"

"My goal is to conquer the North American underground boxing scene and sweep across the globe like 'Death'!"

"Bangkok, I will go! One day, I will be like the King of War, invincible throughout Southeast Asia."

"As for Death, he is my idol. I can only look up to him, but I can't follow in his footsteps. He is—God!"

Demus suddenly said, "Alright, that's enough, Jimmy. According to the training camp plan, it's your turn to play!"

Next,
Jimmy twisted his neck, stood up from his seat, and walked slowly toward the locker room.

Five minutes later.

On the octagonal cage stage.

Bang, bang, bang—!
Jimmy unleashed his most ferocious combination of attacks against a black boxer.

Two minutes and five seconds!
boom!
Jimmy delivered a powerful, precise flying kick to the black boxer's chest, hitting him squarely in the groin.

One hit kills!
Fast, accurate and ruthless!
A leg piercing the heart!
Indeed, it's quite evident from Jimmy's explosive combination of leg techniques.

His powerful leg combination attack is Chen Jie's signature move – the Heart-Piercing Kick!

Although Jimmy's powerful kicks are not delivered with the force of a jabbing technique.

However, the movements were exactly the same as Chen Jie's "heart-piercing kick".

Chen Jie, Wen Rou, Zhang Changming, and others sat calmly in the audience.

"This young man named Jimmy is ruthless. Although he looks older than his age, his bone age is very young, no more than eighteen!"

"Old Zhang, if your brother steps onto the stage to challenge him, he will surely die!"

"His kung fu has surpassed that of top-level Sanda fighters in China. He has practiced killing techniques, and every move is lethal."

"Moreover, he is ruthless and decisive. He clearly knocked out the black boxer and broke his leg bone just now."

"But in the end, he still managed to break the opponent's spine with a powerful kick, killing him."

"He is honing his killing intent—!"

The group arrived at the Phnom Penh Port Industrial Park in Pursat Province. As soon as they sat down inside the boxing ring, they witnessed Jimmy's life-or-death fight.

Seeing the black boxer lying in a pool of blood, Zhang Changming was completely dumbfounded.

This was his first time encountering underground boxing, and he had never witnessed such a brutal life-or-death battle.

Damn it!
What is the purpose of these people practicing martial arts?
Is it possible to risk your life in the ring just to seek the thrill of life and death?

does it worth?
Although the Phnom Penh Port Industrial Park is several levels smaller than the underground boxing rings in Yangon, Myanmar and Yunnan.

but,

The armed personnel guarding the area were no less formidable than those in Yangon's underground boxing rings.

In an industrial park in Cambodia, someone who can organize a "fight to the death" is definitely not an ordinary person and must have close ties with the Cambodian authorities.

The selection process for training new fighters in underground boxing training camps is extremely brutal.

Those who survived were all ruthless killers.

The octagonal boxing ring was reinforced with wire mesh about the thickness of a little finger.

The audience is separated from the ring to ensure their safety.

Although the surroundings appeared very simple, the betting equipment was quite advanced.

Chen Jie looked up at Jimmy, who had successfully 'seized' the ring.

at this time,

After Jimmy decisively defeated the black boxer, he stood casually in the middle of the octagon, waiting for the next boxer to challenge him.

After a few minutes.

A burly man, weighing over 100 kilograms, stepped onto the octagonal boxing ring with a menacing look.

He seemed a little slow on the uptake.

After stepping onto the ring, before the fight even began, he started pounding his chest violently, looking as if he was in great pain.

The medication has been injected!
From the audience, Chen Jie immediately noticed that this big, clumsy guy had injected himself with drugs in the locker room.

He was covered in black fur, just like a gorilla.

After the medication took effect, he became very agitated and manic, and felt no pain.

boom!
Unfortunately, against top-tier experts, injecting drugs to reduce reaction time is practically suicidal.

Without uttering a single word, Jimmy delivered a powerful lunge kick, striking the big guy squarely in the chest!

Another leg kick to the heart!

one move!
Five seconds!

Jimmy seems to have a particular fondness for 'heart kicks'.

The moment the big, clumsy guy charged at him, he delivered a fatal kick to the heart, killing him instantly.

Seeing this, Zhang Changming, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but gasp.

"That's brutal! Jimmy's strength is ridiculously powerful!"

"If Lei Zi fights him, he'll kill him!"

"Chen Jie, have you found Lei Zi? Please, you must save him! We can't let him step onto the stage!"

this moment,
Zhang Changming's mind was in complete turmoil.

He was just a coach at the Hengyang Elite Martial Arts Academy, and had never witnessed such brutal underground boxing matches.

Moreover, this is the most brutal S-class deathmatch in the world's underground boxing arena.

Underground boxing betting is prohibited in China, so ordinary boxers have no opportunity to come into contact with it.

Unless you've been to Southeast Asia and been exposed to underground boxing.

Or perhaps someone introduced me to it, and I watched an underground boxing match at an underground boxing ring, which gave me the opportunity to get in touch with it.

Jimmy's brutality shattered Zhang Changming's understanding of the world! (End of Chapter)
