Chapter 59 - Getting into the Ring (2/2)

“You seem to be pretty confident in yourself. Fine, I’ll sign you up! What code name will you be using?”

Code names like Ruthless Tiger and Arm Breaker…

Qin Feng thought about the little fox sound asleep at home and answered, “Deranged, Crazed, or Mad Fox!”

Mad Fox.

…..

[The defender is a candidate called Mad Fox, and he’s only sixteen years old. Hahaha! You heard that right – this is a young man who has only awakened a month ago. Of course, his opponent isn’t very strong either. We would never do something so barbaric!]

The audience exploded into fits of laughter.

If the underground fight was not barbaric, then what was?

[His rival is… Black Psycho!]

When the audience saw Black Psycho’s details and noticed that he was a pretty decent fighter. Even though it was no professional assessment, the screen showed that he was the kind of man that could dish out a 1,000 attack punch, which was to say that this Black Psycho had G2-tier strength.

Black Psycho was one of Eagle Clubhouse’s own thugs. He worked as a hired henchman on regular days, but whenever the chance to enter the ring presented itself, he would jump at it. They even got paid 10,000 for winning, and more if he put on a great show. After all, Black Psycho was, in actual fact, simply average in terms of strength. Even so, Black Psycho had a pretty stellar record. As a challenger, he had taken the lives of 11 people and only lost three battles in his career.

“This is a no brainer! Black Psycho is going to win for sure!”

“Black Psycho! Go… let me see you torture your opponent!”

“I’m betting on Black Psycho winning!”

Qin Feng’s odds were 1:1.3, whereas Black Psycho’s odds were 3:4.

If the people wagered on Qin Feng, they would have to risk 100 to win a mere 103, and if they bet on Black Psycho, they would have to risk 300 to win 100. In short, the profit margin for the first round wasn’t the most enticing. No matter who won the battle, only the gambling house would be making any substantial earnings.

For that very reason, old-time gamblers would not choose to place any bets on this round.

It was an unspoken fact that this first round was just for observation.

[Both candidates have words that mean ‘crazy’ in their names. So, let’s see which of these two is crazier! The competition starts now!]

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The bell rang, and the energy force field rose, effectively locking them in. Qin Feng and Black Psycho stood facing each other. Both of them were topless, wearing only a pair of shorts and combat shoes.

Black Psycho was a massive guy, towering at a tall-ish 1.9 meters with coal-black skin and bulging muscles, brimming with vigor.

Next to him, Qin Feng’s skin was a healthy tan, and the tone of his muscles was well-defined. With a lean physique, he looked like a growing young boy, and at 178 cm, he was a good head shorter than his rival.

“Hey, kid, I will tear you apart!” Black Psycho bared a mouthful of white teeth, looking more like sharp fangs. “After that, I will bring your body back so that I can cook and eat your meat. Soft skin and tender flesh like yours should taste pretty good!”

Qin Feng’s face darkened, taking on the look of a murderous killer.

It increasingly looked like he did not need to be merciful this round.

Black Psycho attacked first, his fist unrestrained.

Qin Feng could kill him with one strike, but he did not want to reveal his actual strength. That, however, did not mean that he would go soft of him.

Bash!

Qin Feng took the chance to throw a punch at Black Psycho’s face. Black Psycho’s head shook a little as it bore its brunt. As blood splattered from his mouth, a few of his glimmering white teeth were flung 2 meters away!
