Wandering America: My kill threshold is far ahead

Inside the octagon, after glancing at Max, who had already been arrested by security, Ma Jie felt anxious.

He never imagined that the people of the peninsula, who are renowned worldwide for their "sportsmanship," would resort to such despicable tactics in an unknown underground fighting competition.

In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, South Korea, taking advantage of its home field, unleashed a series of tactics including "Shaolin Soccer," "forceful pulling and dragging," "hitting and kicking," and "unlimited biased refereeing," eliminating European powerhouses Italy and Spain in succession.

In the 1500m speed skating final at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, three South Korean athletes faced off against Dongda University athlete Wang Meng. Knowing that they had no hope of winning the gold medal, the South Koreans launched a two-one split-pass strategy, sending one of their athletes to deliberately obstruct Wang Meng in violation of the rules, sacrificing their own performance to help their teammate steal the gold medal.

During the archery competition at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Zhang Juanjuan, an archer from Dongda University, defeated two South Korean archers in succession to advance to the finals, where she competed for the championship against Park Sung-hyun, who was ranked number one in the world at the time. When she took the lead, South Korean spectators took out their mobile phones and tried to interfere with the competition by flashing their cameras, but they were unsuccessful.

There are many, many more similar incidents, in fencing, badminton, judo, e-sports, Go...

Faced with Choi Dong-ho's blatant cheating, Ma Jieke felt more disgusted than if he had swallowed fly droppings.

"The situation on the field took a sharp turn for the worse. The South Korean tiger launched a series of counterattacks, and Po was once again forced to the edge of the cage. Was it due to exhaustion?"

"Buddy, it seems your prediction came true. No one can fight three high-intensity battles in a short period of time. That's the limit of human physical strength, and it's not subject to mental will."

Listening to Kevin's obviously suggestive commentary, Quilin had no interest in responding, since the match had now become a pure money-spending game.

Since it's underground fighting, there aren't many regulations and rules. As long as you have money, you can bribe the referees and openly fix matches.

"Still as a stone drum, swift as the sound of pine trees in motion."

"A perfect blend of offense and defense, free and unrestrained."

Who is speaking? Amidst the fierce confrontation, Ma Jieke vaguely heard an ethereal human voice echoing in his mind.

"Use the formless as form, and the infinite as finite."

"Be like water, my friend."

Water! This word is like a magical spell, causing the surrounding environment to suddenly quiet down.

Within his field of vision, Cui Donghao launched a fierce downward kick, but Ma Jieke, as if aided by divine intervention, used his exceptional flexibility to turn to the side.

The moment the foot blade grazed the wing of the nose, the right fist exploded with short-range force, the second knuckle of the middle finger protruding while the thumb pressed down to hold it in place.

Wing Chun - Phoenix Eye Fist! Effect: Precisely strikes a single acupoint with extremely strong penetrating power.

Because the friction area was greatly reduced, the punch landed squarely on the gap between Cui Donghao's ribs.

Taking advantage of the moment when the latter is in pain, launch a swift attack based on the sliding step of Western fencing.

This was immediately followed by a series of rapid and devastating elbow strikes.

As the saying goes, "Punch can strike even a reclining ox, elbow is the king of short-range strikes, the body is like a rolling dragon, and the elbow is like a sharp axe."

Sweep! Smash! Cover! Swift as thunder, splitting mountains and cleaving seas!

It can be said that it brought the fierce and violent nature of Bajiquan and its close-quarters combat to the extreme.

Cui Donghao was forced to retreat steadily, trying to create distance and regain the upper hand.

Ma Jieke enveloped it like water, seamlessly switching between techniques like the Inch Punch, Sticky Hand, Finger Strike, and Eagle Claw, combining offense and defense.

So much so that if this guy covered his face, he would get punched in the body; if he covered his body, his face would become the most severely injured area.

This is the true essence of Jeet Kune Do: not adhering to a single martial arts style or rigid routines, but pursuing self-liberation and a pragmatic approach.

All methods and techniques are for my use!

In the commentary booth, Quillin Nelson, who had been in a negative mood, suddenly shouted and grabbed the microphone, rudely interrupting Kevin's commentary.

"Bruce Lee!"

"Po breaks through his limits once again, transforming into a Jeet Kune Do master!"

"Wuhu, that fleeting Mantis Fist, both soft and powerful, incredibly precise. Go for it, buddy, smash his damn jaw."

"Tiger Fist! Hey ha, the Korean fighter has been knocked back onto the cage again. Go home, bro, that's your dream home."

"What is this? Crane Fist! He's actually playing it in the arena, ouch...it looks painful, there's a visible dislocated joint."

"What is this now? Huh, it looks like snake fist. Oh my god, I bet Choi Dong-ho's eyes have been gouged out."

"Haha, just as I expected, it really is Wu Kong. The Monkey King is arrogant and looks down on everyone. He frequently uses feints and is toying with his opponent."

"At this moment, he is not alone; he is one of the Furious Five, he is Kung Fu Panda, he is possessed by the spirit of Bruce Lee!"

"Let's end this farce, Baby! You know what everyone wants to see most, deliver the final blow!"

"Ah-da!" With a battle cry, Ma Jie showed no mercy and brutally used his signature side kick as a knockout move.

Thump! The kick landed hard on Choi Dong-ho's face, knocking out his braces.

As its face contorted and deformed, its body took off from one end of the iron cage, flying at least six meters away before crashing into the cage wall on the other side!

Boom! The entire octagon trembled, leaving the referee speechless and momentarily forgetting to lie down and start the countdown.

In fact, there is no need for any countdown.

At this moment, Cui Donghao had been beaten bloody, suffered multiple comminuted fractures all over his body, and had dislocated joints and unseen internal organ tears, making it impossible for him to stand up from the ground.

He lay on the floor like a dying stray dog, foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes, barely breathing. Even if he could be saved, he would be crippled for life.

"Oh!" A few seconds later, the entire arena stood up, cheering and applause surging towards the octagon like a tidal wave.

That's what fighting is all about. Nobody cares about the weak. If you're lying on the ground, all your previous glory is just bullshit.

The sound engineer also played the special background music from "Kung Fu Panda" when Po defeated the villain, as well as the well-known theme song.

"Oh~hoh~hoh~hoah."

"Everybody was kung-fu fighting."

Those cats were fast as lightning.

"Although the future is a little bit frightening."

"It's the book of your life that you're writing."

"Haha, we won! We beat you, buddy! Quickly transfer some of your power to me."

Jimmy happily crawled into the octagon and high-fived MaJack in celebration.

Sawa, who was under immense mental strain, slumped to the ground, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Max screamed wildly from the sidelines, tears streaming down his face.

After glancing at Cui Donghao, who was being carried onto a stretcher and sent for emergency treatment, Ma Jie raised his fists to signal to the audience.

The South Korean coaching staff and support team in the audience all had dark faces, as if they had just lost their own mothers, finding it hard to accept this cruel reality.

Just as Ma Jie was basking in the joy of victory, he heard an electronic sound effect of gold coins popping up.

At the same time, a rocket soaring into the stars appeared on the big screen, with an ID named "Tang Yongliang" next to it.

Kevin excitedly picked up the microphone: "Mr. Tang Yongliang from table 8 has gifted player A Bao a Starry Sky Rocket! This gift is worth five thousand US dollars!"

Only then did Ma Jieke notice a Chinese man in a Tang suit sitting on a sofa in the VIP area, very close to the octagon.

Um... the legendary number one on the leaderboard?
