Chapter 296: 230. Forever Young (10,000-word update, asking for monthly passes!)_2
Li Changqing’s expression also turned grim, because they all saw the disparity in strength between Qing Chen and Miao Qifeng; Qing Chen might die at any moment.
She said coldly, “Now.”
In the stands, a youngster at the slope hurriedly moved, intending to head towards the Octagon cage; she was one of the top fighters under Li Changqing’s command, Elder Six, tasked with keeping Qing Chen alive tonight.
However, just as she thought about moving, someone lightly placed two fingers on her shoulder from behind. A middle-aged man wearing a white tracksuit said with a smile, “Don’t move, don’t turn around, or you’ll die.”
Elder Six stiffened, not daring to look back at the identity of the person, only feeling the two fingers on her shoulder weigh a ton, rendering her immobile!
She couldn’t understand what level of strength the person behind her possessed to exert such oppressive force on her, as if there was a mountain behind her, snow-capped and threatening to avalanche at any moment.
Was it the young man’s enemy, not wanting her to intervene and rescue him?
But how did the other party notice her, blended into the crowd?
Elder Six couldn’t figure it out.
Updated by āāš§Gā.cāUncle Li Dong chuckled, “I don’t want to kill you. Let’s quietly watch the boxing match together.”
After he finished speaking, Uncle Li Dong’s attention was no longer on Elder Six; he focused intently on the Octagon cage, watching as his disciple underwent another metamorphosis.
When everyone thought Qing Chen might die, it was his master, who knew him best, who stopped everyone intending to lend a hand.
Because it was unnecessary.
Even if Qing Chen really needed saving, with his master present, it wasn’t the place of outsiders to intervene.
In the private room, Li Changqing and the others waited for someone to come to the rescue, but despite a long wait, no one came.
The flamboyant Second Princess’s face turned ashen; she knew someone must have held Elder Six back.
Nan Gengchen and Li Tongyun, who had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaotang sat in the adjacent VIP001 box, waiting for Qing Chen to give her the thumbs up as a signal for rescue, but it never came.
…
…
Inside the Octagon cage, a similar scene to before unfolded, but Qing Chen was not as disheveled as his previous opponents had been.
The moment his back hit the wire mesh, his back muscles were already fully tensed, protecting the bones and tendons so that they remained unharmed.
At worst, he only felt a sour swelling in his back muscles.
Miao Qifeng was somewhat surprised, thinking that the young man could withstand his full-force blow and emerge unscathed.
In the brief moment of contact, he felt his power being transferred to Qing Chen’s arms but not lingering; those arms, like a sponge, released the force backward, from arms to waist, then to legs, dissipating it layer by layer.
This technique was astonishing, but unfortunately, as Qing Chen’s opponent in this life or death duel inside the Octagon cage, Miao Qifeng found it hard to admire his adversary.
Qing Chen had moved away from the edge of the Octagon cage; he had to avoid being cornered.
When Huang Zixian warned him earlier, Qing Chen already had a suspicion that his next opponent might cheat, and now he was certain of it; the opponent in front of him was definitely a grade above him.
For him, it wasn’t hard to judge because he was at the peak of E-Class, at the very brink; anyone stronger than him was definitely D-Class!
The spectators in the stands suddenly noticed that Qing Chen, since the start of this boxing match, had changed his usual dominance, now continuously on the defensive.
As time ticked away, the situation between attacker and defender remained unchanged, with everyone feeling that Miao Qifeng was completely overpowering Qing Xiaotu.
Could the gap in strength between Tiger Grade boxers be this huge?
These spectators weren’t professionals, so they didn’t quite grasp what was happening at the moment.
But just then, message alerts went off on the mobile phones of all the spectators present: “Tiger Grade Boxing King Miao Qifeng purchased one of Li’s genetic potions seven days ago; without any surprise, the boxing king must have advanced to Land Cruise Grade.”
Following this message, there were over ten photos attached showing Miao Qifeng buying the genetic potion. The sender of the message was the official account of Begonia Boxing Gym.
Once the message was sent out, only a few people in the boxing arena took notice at first, but gradually it spread wider and wider.
The stands erupted into an uproar; no wonder Miao Qifeng was able to dominate Qing Chen. It turned out that the Tiger Grade Boxing King had already advanced to Land Cruise Grade!
It was as clear as day to everyone; the skills and strength Qing Xiaotu had displayed were already at the peak of Tiger Grade, making him a rare match.
Everyone thought he was the most likely candidate to challenge the king, and that he and Miao Qifeng were evenly matched.
That’s why, with this expectation of a century battle between equals, Begonia Boxing Gym had attracted so many spectators tonight!
So, the moment the message pointed out the truth, everyone understood it was real; otherwise, there was no explanation for Qing Xiaotu’s passiveness.
Some bettors who wagered on Qing Chen began to curse, shouting that Miao Qifeng was shameless.
While a few in the minority were shocked as they looked towards the Octagon cage; even if Miao Qifeng cheated, Qing Xiaotu was able to withstand ten minutes without falling?
At this moment, Qing Chen felt pain all over his body, just like on the first day he faced Huang Zixian.
It was as if he were standing in a torrential downpour, with the rainfall gradually extinguishing the fire on his body.
Uncle Li Dong watched calmly from the crowd, utterly indifferent.
The Elder Six in front of him didn’t dare to move an inch, but she could feel the two fingers on her shoulder gradually exert more pressure.
