"Your interesting place?"

Though surprised, Qin Fang quickly came to his senses.

Combining it with what Qu Yuancheng had said earlier, a thought immediately flashed in his mind.

"I know a place where there are underground boxing matches. Let me take you there to have a look..."

Seeing Qin Fang's surprise, yet his seeming familiarity, Qu Yuancheng found it a bit odd. However, for his mysterious younger cousin, he was already used to strange things by now. He chuckled and said this with a grin.

"I heard the Black Fist Arena is extremely secretive and highly restrictive. Can you even get in?"

Qin Fang sounded slightly skeptical, raising a question as if he didn't fully believe it.

The factions in the underground world were all incredibly secretive and immensely powerful. They seldom had direct interactions with ordinary people—one reason being to avoid exposing their identities too easily, and the other was to prevent attracting unnecessary retaliation.

The underground world existed as an entity separate from the surface-level society. Many within it were ruthless criminals, some even anarchists or anti-government agitators. These individuals were highly unwelcome by any government, though they often thrived in the shadows of the underground realm.

The Black Fist Alliance was one of the major powers of the underground world, with many Black Fist Arenas under its domain. However, very few individuals ever got direct access to them.

Take Qin Fang in Ninghai, for instance. Despite Li Rui's claim to being the Ninghai underground overlord, even he couldn't organize a Black Fist match. One factor was the lack of appropriate connections, and the other was his lack of qualification.

Every Black Fist Arena fell under the jurisdiction of the Black Fist Alliance. Only with the Alliance's authorization was an arena considered official.

Otherwise, illegally setting up an arena was a grave crime. The Black Fist Alliance would likely dispatch elite fighters to eliminate the perpetrators. Wiping out entire families as a warning wasn't unheard of.

Qin Fang had long heard of the Black Fist Arenas but had only known them by name, never having seen one. Who would've thought there was one here on Hong Kong Island? It certainly surprised him.

On second thought, it made sense. As Asia's financial capital and one of the world's top three financial hubs, Hong Kong Island connected Dragon Country, Japan, and Southeast Asian nations. Setting up a Black Fist Arena here was indeed a wise decision.

"Nonsense! If I couldn't get in, would I even bring it up?"

Qu Yuancheng rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. "I have a friend working inside who introduced me. Today's a good time to take you there and let you experience it."

Qu Yuancheng didn't explain who this so-called friend was, and Qin Fang didn't ask. Matters involving underground world personnel were best left unspoken by the average person. Knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing.

It was the same reason why, despite being an assassin, Qin Fang had managed to keep that identity secret from everyone except Su Xiaoxiao, a fellow assassin.

Anyone who had learned of Qin Fang's secret had become a lifeless corpse under his blade. There was no one left to expose his identity.

Such concealment was both a protective measure and a facade for an assassin's identity!

The Black Fist Arena operated under similar logic, safeguarding its personnel comprehensively. Prying too much into unseen matters might inadvertently break taboos or uncover things better left unknown.

"Alright, I've been meaning to check it out. I'll trouble you, then!"

Qin Fang thought it through. Naturally, he wouldn't let such a golden opportunity slip by.

The Black Fist Alliance was a part of the underground world. Though separate from the Assassin's Alliance, there were overlaps—individuals with positions in both alliances existed.

For instance, a brutally skilled champion of the Black Fist Alliance had once been a powerful Four-Star Assassin...

Similarly, some renowned fighters from the Black Fist Arena had chosen to fade into the shadows, becoming silent but deadly assassins...

Qin Fang was now a part of the underground world. Moreover, he had a critical mission ahead of him: to infiltrate Devil's Island and rescue his father, who'd been trapped there for twenty years.

Before that, Qin Fang's main task was to improve his own strength.

At the same time, he needed to learn more about his future competitors.

On Devil's Island, enemies weren't limited to the demonic threats present there. Even the other trainees who ventured onto the island were adversaries.

Each entrant's supplies were limited. To ensure survival, killing fellow trainees and seizing their resources would become an essential, unavoidable practice.

Anyone dismissing the importance of food and water or underestimating the trainees around them wouldn't survive long on the island.

Because Qin Fang's rise in rank had been so rapid, he had very little contact with the underground world. Aside from knowing a few prominent experts by name, he lacked detailed information on many other major factions' elites.

The underground world boasted a myriad of top-tier talents. Qin Fang may now be at Level 5 with cultivation comparable to Mid-Master Level, making him a standout even among disciples of ancient sects like the Tang Sect, Shaolin, and Kunlun.

But within the underground world, such young, exceptional experts weren't exactly scarce.

Whether it was prodigy assassins from the Assassin's Alliance, frenzied combatants who clawed their way out of the Black Fist Arenas, or mercenaries hardened by blood-soaked battlefields, all these elites carved their paths to greatness with their lives on the line.
