"Okay… don't be agitated. Rest well."
Zhou Chen was speechless again as he listened to Boss Liu on the stretcher talk about how he was the winner.
Just now, he had seen Boss Liu being beaten one-sidedly on the stage, not even hitting a strand of hair of the opponent. Now, Boss Liu was making things up out of thin air, making him feel that his shamelessness and disposition were too strong.
Zhou Chen turned around and planned to leave after seeing that the two medical staff had begun treating Boss Liu.
However, just as he turned around, he was blocked by an old man in a white training suit.
"Young man, were you the one cheering for Old Man Liu just now?"
This old man was not tall, but he had a well-proportioned body and bright eyes. He was Master Wang, who had just beaten up Boss Liu.
Zhou Chen looked at the old man in confusion.
"Yes, why are you looking for me?"
He thought that this old man was too narrow-minded. He had only cheered for the latter's defeated opponent, but he had objections and even came to look for him?
"Young man, I don't care who you cheer for, but you can't cheer for Old Liu. He's just a cheat who ruins the reputation of the Pugilistic World! Don't you know this fact?"
Master Wang said firmly.
"This… Although Boss Liu's martial arts are very unique, I heard that he did not cheat anyone of their money. He can't be considered a cheat."
Considering that Boss Liu, who was receiving treatment on the stretcher a few meters away, might have heard it, Zhou Chen still stood firmly on his side. After all, he still needed to come to Boss Liu's dojo in the future to train.
"Nonsense!"
However, when he said this, Master Wang's eyes began to burn with anger.
"I don't know if Liu Weijiang swindled money or not! But it's true that he ruined the reputation of our Dragon Country's Pugilistic World! His martial arts skills are very lousy, but he calls himself a master! If he's not a cheat, who is? A fraud like him is worse than someone who swindles money!"
'What's wrong with this person? Why is he suddenly angry?'
Zhou Chen felt that this old man's character was a little strange. There was no point in arguing with this old man, so he turned to leave.
However, Master Wang seemed to notice his disregard. The anger in his heart increased, but a smile appeared on his face. He extended his arm and grabbed Zhou Chen's shoulder.
"Heh heh, young man, I see traces of martial arts in your figure. You should know martial arts too, right? Why don't you come with me to the ring to spar! Whoever wins is in the right!"
"No need!"
Zhou Chen immediately turned around.
"I'm just a combat enthusiast. How can I be your match? There's no need to compete. I'll admit defeat."
Zhou Chen really did not want to continue nagging with this old man. He would be stupid to agree to the fight. If he won, others would say that he bullied an old man. If he lost, others would say that he could not even defeat an old man. It was really not worth it.
There was even a possibility that this old man would pretend to be injured and extort money, so he would definitely not fight him.
"What? A young man like you doesn't even have as much courage as an old man like me?"
Old man Wang frowned when he saw Zhou Chen refuse.
"How about this, as a senior in the Pugilistic World, I won't bully you. As long as you defeat my disciple, I will do as you wish and not treat Liu Weijiang as a cheat. What do you think?"
"Really?"
At this moment, Zhou Chen was slightly angry from the old man's pestering. He saw that the others in the hall were all paying attention to their conversation, and thought that it would not be good if he continued to be cowardly. It would affect his mood, so he prepared to accept this senseless challenge.
It was just a fight. It was nothing to him. He had killed so many ferocious monsters recently and even killed a few people. Why would he be afraid of a simple spar?
"Of course, I, Wang Tieshan, never go back on my words!"
When Old man Wang saw that Zhou Chen had agreed to fight, he released his hand from Zhou Chen's shoulder and turned around to call a young man from behind.
"This is my 17th disciple. His martial arts can be considered middle tier. As long as you defeat him, I will no longer care about this Weijiang Dojo."
Old man Wang pointed at a tall young man in casual clothes who was in his twenties.
The young man was a little stunned when he was called out. He said to Old Man Wang uneasily, "Master, this isn't good, right? This person is just an enthusiast."
The young man was clearly worried about Zhou Chen, who seemed to be younger than him. He was afraid that he would accidentally knock him into the hospital and cause more trouble.
"What's not good? Your master's judgment is accurate. His strength might not be weaker than yours! Fight properly!"
Old man Wang said to the tall youth.
"Alright…"
The young man rubbed his head speechlessly.
"Are you guys done? If you don't start soon, I'll leave."
Zhou Chen, who was standing at the side, urged. He had decided to fight in the ring, and did not want to waste time. He did not want to spend the entire night here.
"Alright, if you're ready, go to the ring. The rules are that apart from the private parts, the eyes, the back of the head, and the throat, the other parts can be freely attacked. If you are down for three seconds, you lose."
Before the competition began, Master Wang explained the rules. These rules were reasonable and mainly served as protection.
"Alright, I'm ready. Let's begin."
Zhou Chen quickly responded, and then walked to the side of the ring first, crossing the ropes and entering the ring.
The young man in casual clothes saw Zhou Chen go up the stage, and quickly went over the ropes.
Behind them, a middle-aged man with a whistle on his neck also entered the ring. He was the referee.
"Put this on."
The referee handed a pair of boxing gloves to Zhou Chen and the young man.
After everything was in place, Zhou Chen and the young man in casual clothes stood opposite each other in boxing gloves. The middle-aged referee in the middle whistled and announced the start of the battle.
The moment the battle began, the young man raised his arms to protect his head. His feet kept moving as he searched for an opportunity to attack Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also did the same. He raised his arm to protect his head, and his feet moved lightly to find the other party's weakness.
"This should be considered combat training. Although it's not very targeted toward Survival missions, it's better than training alone."
The reason why Zhou Chen accepted this fight was not only because he was a little angry, but also because he wanted to use the fight to train. It was not easy to find an opportunity to fight with someone for free.
