Persona: Devil Summoner

The answer is, aerobic boxing.

Some people may be wondering, isn't Jiang Tianwei the one who teaches aerobic boxing? Why haven't I seen Fang Ze Jin before? It's obvious that in such a large gym, there can't be only one coach for each course. In addition to Jiang Tianwei, there are several other coaches in charge of aerobic boxing. And most of them are female coaches.

After all, regardless of gender, everyone prefers to hire female coaches to teach. Men can understand this easily, and women often think that hiring a female coach is better than a male coach, as it can avoid unnecessary groping. So whenever Jiang Tianwei mentions other female coaches, he always envies them from the bottom of his heart: Because they never lack students... If you don't lack students, you naturally won't lack bonuses and commissions...

Jiang Tianwei naturally knew Fang Zejin's coach. Although he didn't know her name, he only knew her surname was Pingkou. Everyone usually called her Coach Pingkou. She was a capable woman with an explosive body and neat short hair.

Yoshizawa Sumire has always given people the impression of a well-behaved and obedient girl. Today, she rarely looked a little timid at the gym door, and she had a more lively feeling that only children of her age can have.

She secretly glanced at Jiang Tianwei and found that he was still calm, so she felt a lot more at ease. She slapped her cheeks with both hands, and her face, which was already red due to nervousness, became even redder.

"Okay, senior! Let's go in!".

Before people do something, they usually imagine some possible situations in their minds. For example, now, Sumire Yoshizawa has thought about what it would be like to meet Coach Hiraguchi. Would she accept it happily? Or would she burst into tears? Or would she keep a straight face? Or would she just be the same as always...

However, no one expected that once they entered the gym, the situation inside would be completely unexpected...

In the past, the atmosphere in the gym was like a group of small groups, with everyone following their own pace and progress and following their own coaches. But today was different... The coaches and students in the entire gym were all gathered together, as if they were watching a big star.

Thanks to these people surrounding something like a star-studded moon, the front desk naturally became idle. The receptionist was also happy to fish in troubled waters, supporting the table with one arm and playing with her mobile phone with one hand.

"What's wrong? Is there any big star coming today?"

Jiang Tianwei's voice made the lazy receptionist perk up all of a sudden: "Xiao Jiang! How come you have time today..."

Before she could even utter the word "come", she caught a glimpse of Fang Zejin following Jiang Tianwei, and her tone became even more excited: "Isn't this Miss Fang Ze! You haven't been here for a while! - You two..."

The receptionist had to work until the end of the day, and the only way to kill time was to chat about gossip, besides using her phone. When she saw these two people standing together, they were of the right age, and they were a perfect match, and the atmosphere was very warm, she couldn't suppress her gossiping mood.

Moreover, one of these two people was his former idol. After all, the Fangze sisters were at least topic-level beauties. The other was someone he once thought was a good match. He had a good personality, was able to endure hardships, and had a decent appearance. Although he was not as popular as a popular actor, he still stood out among ordinary people.

If I have to find fault, the biggest problem with Jiang Tianwei as a dating partner is that he is poor. After all, the core purpose of most older young people's dating is to get married, and economic conditions must be taken into consideration.

As a result, the receptionist didn't expect that when she was struggling to decide whether to choose a poor handsome guy or find another rich husband, the poor handsome guy suddenly threw away the prefix and came back with her former idol...

This not only made her excited, but also made her feel sour...

But professionals are professionals. She quickly adjusted her mood and put on a standard business smile: "What are you two doing here today?"

"I was originally looking for Coach Hirakochi for something - but what's going on over there? Is there any big star coming?"

Jiang Tianwei really couldn't suppress his curiosity. He couldn't figure out why there were so many people gathered in the hall.

"Oh, well... oh yeah, you haven't been here for a while, so I don't know."

The receptionist's words made Jiang Tianwei feel embarrassed. Indeed, later on, because his mood changed and he was no longer so anxious to save money, and there were always various things to do at night, so he rarely came to the gym.

"If you want to talk about a star, then he can indeed be called a star."

The tone of the receptionist suddenly became mysterious.

Here we need to clarify a concept, that is, the concept of celebrity. When people mention celebrities, they always think of movie stars or singers and dancers. However, as long as a public figure is famous enough, they can be called a celebrity.

Moreover, many celebrities are indeed not open to the general public.

Take Randy Orton for example. Ordinary people may have never heard of this person, but if you are a fan of WWE or American wrestling, you must have heard of this name.

This is what we often call a "circle". It is not easy to become famous outside the circle.

Today, the one who came to the gym was such a big shot in the circle.

His name is Akihiko Sanada. He is a fighter who has performed well in free fighting, boxing and bodybuilding competitions. In terms of his fighting performance, he is more like a "combat expert" than a "fighter".

Jiang Tianwei had heard of this man. Even though he had never thought of becoming a serious boxer, he had heard of the name of this legendary boxer, which shows how famous he was.

Just like a person who has never systematically studied vocal music has a high probability of knowing that Beethoven is a great musician, this is what is called going beyond the circle. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with respecting him as the Beethoven of the boxing world.

But in the gym industry, this person is most famous not for his achievements, but for his love for protein powder!

Protein powder is not unfamiliar to people who like to exercise their muscles. Drinking a cup of protein powder after training can effectively increase muscle mass. It can be said that people who are keen on exercising their muscles should have drunk protein powder.

However, it is very rare to love protein powder to the same extent as Sanada.

According to legend, this guy is a great guy who eats protein powder as a meal and drinks it like water. According to legend, he would even have withdrawal reactions if he didn't eat protein powder... Therefore, he often goes to the gym to buy protein powder, and he buys huge quantities at a time.

Therefore, almost all gyms know the name of Sanada Brother, and everyone is looking forward to Sanada Brother's next competition being held near their gym, because Sanada Brother never buys protein powder by bag, but by truck... He is simply a living God of Wealth!

Moreover, you can imagine, if such a big shot in the circle could come to your own store, it would be a great publicity.

You can tell how widespread this celebrity effect is by looking at how many snack bars in China claim to be famous restaurants that were personally sealed by Emperor Qianlong when he visited the south of the Yangtze River. It is also a great publicity to put out a photo of a gym that Sanada would go to - just like the photo of world boxing champion Gao Lang in the boxing gym of Ayaka's family in "Fitness Girl".

"Tsk, it seems like today isn't a good time to talk about things..."

Just as analyzed just now, it is obvious that the gym is dealing with a big business opportunity now, and it is not appropriate to talk about such private matters. Jiang Tianwei spread his hands flat, Fang Ze Jin nodded seriously, and couldn't help but agree: "Okay."

The two turned around and were about to go out, when suddenly, they heard a voice from behind:

"Hey, little brother over here. You seem to have a pretty good physique - are you interested in practicing a few punches with me?"

Chapter 232 Communicating with Fists

Have you ever had this fantasy: one day, a world-famous superstar comes to your house and is very optimistic about you?

Jiang Tianwei had thought about it, but he had never thought that this big star was a boxing star. He had never thought that the big star would not give him an autograph, but would fight with him...

Jiang Tianwei’s first reaction was trouble.

After all, he was not a battle fanatic, and since he knew about the cognitive space, he had no interest in fighting in the real world. After all, in the real world, you can neither point a gun at someone to force them to hand over money or things, nor can you use your eloquence to get the other person to your phone. That's really boring.

"Me? I, I... Look, I just came here with a girl to build up my courage. I'm not prepared at all. Look, I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth. Earth is so dangerous, I think it's better for me to go back to my Mars."

In his panic, he came up with all sorts of messed up excuses.

While saying these jokes that people who haven't watched Stephen Chow basically won't get, Jiang Tianwei turned around... and saw a burly man with short white hair pushing through the crowd and coming right in front of him.

Judging from the height, he is about the same as Jiang Tianwei, just a little taller than him.

But, in terms of physique, he is visibly strong.

Why is it visible to the naked eye?

Because Mr. Akihiko Sanada is only wearing shorts, boots and a cape... You can understand the result of this look with a little imagination: his muscular body with an alarmingly low body fat percentage is almost completely exposed to the air, and you can clearly see the angular muscles. You can clearly feel the powerful explosive power hidden under the skin just by looking at it with your eyes. If you get hit by his punch, it will be no joke.

Seeing this strong body, Jiang Tianwei made up his mind: (I absolutely cannot fight him! It's too dangerous!!! This guy is not wearing any clothes?! And he said he is interested in me?! It can't be that kind of interest! You go find Yusuke, why are you looking for me! I don't have that kind of interest!)

Just when Jiang Tianwei was thinking about how to phrase it perfectly to make this person give up pestering him, he saw Sanada Akihiko stride forward, lean close to Jiang Tianwei's ear, and whispered: "Baichong Naoto... you know, right?"

"...?!"

Jiang Tianwei was stunned at first, then he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know her?"

"Sa, who knows...why don't you just ask her?"

Sanada Akihiko gave a wicked smile, but Jiang Tianwei ignored him and quickly called Bai Zhongzhidou, but was told that the other party was out of service area... Jiang Tianwei, who often watched animations and played games, couldn't help but instinctively think of a possibility:

(Could it be that something happened to Naoto?!)

Especially, not long ago, these two people discussed together the real culprit of the cripple incident... Could it be that something unexpected happened to her during the investigation? !

"So—what happened to her?"

Jiang Tianwei didn't expect that his voice would be so angry. If there weren't so many people watching around, he would have summoned a devil on the spot!

This time, Sanada Akihiko did not reply to him. Instead, he took two steps back. It was obvious that he was not going to continue whispering to him. He raised his voice and asked loudly, "It is said that men only need to communicate with their fists. How about it? Do you want to try to ask with your fists?"

It is obvious that this guy is different from Jiang Tianwei and is a battle maniac.

(Could this guy be a thug from the mastermind behind the scenes? He deliberately came to a crowded place like this to provoke me... Did he know that I couldn't enter the cognitive space and change his mind? Fine, I'll satisfy you!)

Jiang Tianwei thought so, his eyes drifted to Fangze Jin beside him, and said apologetically: "Sorry, Jin, it seems that I have to take care of my own affairs first."

"It's okay! Please don't worry about me, senior. I will talk to the coach myself. Please keep going!"

Hearing Fang Zejin's earnest encouragement, Jiang Tianwei silently clenched his fists and swore in his heart that he would never embarrass himself in front of the younger generation.

"...fist to heart...I'm afraid I might kill you by accident..."

As Jiang Tianwei muttered, Sanada Akihiko seemed very satisfied with the hostility in his body, and a provocative smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then I will come to ask for death today."

Although the gym owner didn't understand what the grudges were between the two, there was no doubt that he would not miss the chance of a world-class boxer challenging someone from his gym. Although he didn't think Jiang Tianwei could win, to be honest, so what?

To make an analogy, it's like you lost to Zhang Yining in table tennis. Is that embarrassing? It's not embarrassing at all! On the contrary, just because you have the courage to challenge her and didn't cry, everyone should give you a thumbs up!

Although the two people just talked in a riddle, it always makes people feel that something fishy happened between them in the past, but who cares? This is a gym, not a paparazzi.

Sparring is an inevitable part of boxing training. However, what is taught in the gym is generally aerobic boxing. The biggest difference between it and regular boxing is that sparring is eliminated. To be loosely speaking, aerobic boxing plus sparring is regular boxing.

Therefore, Jiang Tianwei did not think that he would lose too much to his opponent in terms of technology, and he also had the super reaction ability inherited from the demon, so he still had a chance of winning.

As mentioned before, there is no sparring in aerobic boxing in the gym, so there is naturally no boxing ring. Therefore, the gym owner came up with an idea and used the horizontal net in the middle of the badminton court to temporarily create a square space.

Jiang Tianwei silently took off his uniform, revealing his well-trained body. Although his muscles were not as obvious as Sanada Akihiko's, he could still be seen to have a sense of strength at a glance. In particular, the strange tattoos on his back, forehead, and forearms highlighted his fierceness as a warrior.

Akihiko Sanada is still dressed in the same exhibitionist style as before. He claims that this outfit is his combat uniform, and it is indeed very good.

The two men stood opposite each other, neither of them spoke, but a solemn and murderous fighting aura emerged.

In a normal boxing match, the coaches of the two fighting parties should stand next to the boxing ring.

Boxing is a game that emphasizes rhythm. Fights are fought one after another with three minutes as the limit. The main role of the coach is to help the players treat their wounds during the short break and give advice on the next fight.

Laymen may think that boxing matches should be just like normal fighting matches, where one side is beaten until the other side falls to the ground. Then wouldn't the significance of a coach be meaningless?

This statement is not wrong, and indeed there are quite a few matches that end with one side being completely knocked down. But more often than not, the two sides are evenly matched and it is difficult for a knockout to occur, so in the end, the fight ends with the referee calculating the score to determine the winner.

Therefore, the distribution of physical strength is very important.

If you use up too much energy in the first few rounds and can't fight in the last few rounds, and are unilaterally abused by the opponent, it is very likely that the opponent will overtake you in one go. Therefore, coaches often collect information about the opponent before the game and formulate strategies, whether to attack and defeat the opponent at the beginning, or deliberately delay the rhythm and wait for the last few rounds to tire out. Or try it out first, and then formulate a targeted battle plan according to the opponent's performance in each game...

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the coach is the boxer’s brain.

The game mode with three minutes as the limit and reasonable allocation of physical strength always reminds Jiang Tianwei of Ultraman Tiga.

(In the first round, let’s just test it out…).

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianwei turned his body sideways, put his left hand in front, and made a standard jab starting posture.

The jab is the fastest of all boxing techniques. It is said that a skilled boxer can throw several punches in one second. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Pegasus Meteor Fist, it is enough to harass the enemy.

Akihiko Sanada on the opposite side raised his arms to protect in front of him. This is the most common boxing posture, combining offense and defense.

"Senior, come on!".

Because there was no coach, or rather, because Jiang Tianwei himself was a boxing coach, there was no one outside the arena to give him advice, so Sumire Yoshizawa took on the role of cheering him on.

Outside the stadium, the gym owner who acted as the referee secretly turned on the camera on his mobile phone, raised his right hand high, and swung it down hard!

"Round one! Begin!"

Almost at the same time as the referee's voice, Sanada Akihiko took a big step forward and rushed forward with a straight punch with his right arm! The fierce punch even lifted the curtain of Yoshizawa Sumire's hair outside the field!

The boxer, Akihiko Sanada, did not make any attempts or hold back at all, and he went all out from the first attack!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 233 The Value of a World Boxing Champion

The most important part of a boxing match is the distribution of physical strength.

Unless you are absolutely confident that you can knock down your opponent in the first few rounds, otherwise, you will run out of energy and fail to keep up with the opponent's rhythm, and the opponent will score a lot of points...

Then, why did Sanada Akihiko use his full strength in the first round? Was it because he lacked a long-term tactical plan? Or was he absolutely confident that he could defeat Jiang Tianwei in the first few rounds?

Neither reason is right...

It is true that it is difficult for a normal person to maintain 100% of his strength throughout the whole race. For example, what would happen if you were asked to run a marathon at the speed of a 100-meter sprint? We can guess this from the fact that Pheidippides ran until he vomited blood and died of exhaustion on the spot.

But, think about it from another perspective. If you train your physical strength to the point where you can hold on until the last round even if you give it your all, then can you give it your all in every round?

This is the answer given by Akihiko Sanada!

If someone had seen Akihiko Sanada in high school, they would only think that he was a handsome man with a slender figure. Although he was not as skinny as Yusuke, he was at least as slender as Ren Amamiya. But who would have thought that after just a few years, he had become a muscular man who could directly appear in fighting games!

This muscle armor can not only greatly improve the ability to withstand blows, but also provide powerful attack power and lasting endurance. The reason why Akihiko Sanada can dominate the boxing world is because of his all-out fighting theory.

Judging from the record, it is also possible that Akihiko Sanada has achieved the miraculous record of knocking out his opponent with one punch in the first round!

Facing a powerful first-hand attack, what about Jiang Tianwei?

It seemed as if the young man had been prepared. When Sanada Akihiko's fist came over, he lowered his body and quickly cut into his opponent's chest like a fish swimming into the sea!

This was not an exhibition match, the two had never discussed anything with each other, so Jiang Tianwei was able to perform such miraculous skills by relying on his superior reflexes.
