Song Qingshan actually arrived faster than Qin Fang had estimated; almost as soon as they started drinking, Song Qingshan's call came through.

Qin Fang didn't say much nonsense and directly told Song Qingshan to come to the bar to find them.

For this visit, Song Qingshan was already clear on the purpose.

Perhaps the Black Fist Arena was too bloody, but for Song Qingshan, it didn't pose much of a psychological barrier.

As someone who is dedicated to the Martial Way, he would not easily give up any opportunity to improve his cultivation, not to mention this path was indeed an easy way to enhance his power.

As for walking this path, destined to stain his hands with blood, Song Qingshan would not regret it.

Looking back to when Song Qingshan had battled Tang Zhan; in terms of strength, he was slightly inferior to Tang Zhan, but in the end it was Song Qingshan who won, entirely because Song Qingshan did not fear death.

Now that Song Qingshan is walking this path, it aligns perfectly with his original intentions...

"Junior Martial Brother Qin..."

When Song Qingshan arrived, he came with nothing but himself, not even a bag, which even made Qin Fang feel that Song Qingshan was truly carefree.

"Brother, let me introduce you, this is my senior martial brother, Song Qingshan... Senior brother, this is Brother Kong Er, the person I want to introduce to you. In the future, your matters will be arranged by him!"

Qin Fang simply introduced Song Qingshan and Kong Er,

The relationship between Qin Fang and Song Qingshan was quite unusual. It was supposed to be like a hired relationship similar to Qin Fang and Shen Liang's, but Qin Fang never paid Song Qingshan a single penny.

But Song Qingshan had always been by Qin Fang's side, in the end they addressed each other using their Martial World titles. Song Qingshan, being slightly older and having entered the martial world earlier, naturally was the senior martial brother, and Qin Fang was the junior martial brother...

When the two were together, they mostly called each other by their names, but now with others around, it was naturally more appropriate to use such titles.

"Mr. Song, hello... welcome to Hong Kong Island!"

Upon meeting Song Qingshan, Kong Er's eyes almost glowed green, looking at Song Qingshan as if he were a rare beauty.

He had long known that Qin Fang was introducing him to an incredibly skilled martial expert, and he had been eagerly anticipating this, already filled with excitement. Now he finally met him in person.

Song Qingshan was burly, clearly an incredibly formidable individual, fitting the image of an expert in Kong Er's mind.

"Mr. Kong, hello..."

Song Qingshan was very courteous; although he typically seemed quite reserved, it didn't mean he didn't know how to socialize—he just usually disdained it.

For him, time spent on idle chatter was better spent practicing a few more moves.

However, knowing he might need to interact often with Kong Er in the future, establishing some rapport was still necessary... although he could potentially bypass Kong Er, having Kong Er's help would smooth out many troubles.

Being a black boxer is not the friendliest profession and one offends many people. Unless one becomes an official member of the Black Fist Alliance, it's difficult to fend off attacks from unfriendly adversaries...

Many talented boxers didn't die in the ring but were attacked off-stage by those holding grudges.

This isn't surprising; each match attracted a lot of betting, especially from those who placed heavy bets. If they lost, the rage over losing money was unimaginable.

Angry people are beyond reasoning and unpredictable in their actions.

If it were just a typical attack, Song Qingshan's strength would certainly guarantee his safety. But stepping out of Dragon Country, with its strict gun control, into the outside world where firearms are prevalent, even a highly trained Song Qingshan, with the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover, might not be entirely safe.

With Kong Er's support, it's different, as they mainly stay on Hong Kong Island or the neighboring Southeast Asian boxing venues. The influence of Kong Er's family in these areas is substantial; people generally show respect, and thus repercussions over financial losses are less likely.

After all, if the boxers brought in by Kong Er can't win money, it would be quite unreasonable... Conversely, defeating opponents is the most sensible thing.

"Brother, I leave my senior brother to you... He's not much of a talker, but his strength is undeniable; at least I'm no match for him!"

Seeing the positive outcome of the meeting, Qin Fang was quite satisfied, although he still had to lay out the necessary points ahead of time.

"Of course... you're my brother, so your senior martial brother is also my brother. You know my temperament, I would never do anything to upset a brother..."

Brother Kong Er immediately patted his chest and promised.

That is indeed the truth. Having been in contact with him for so long, Qin Fang also understood what kind of person he was.

As a result, Song Qingshan also blended into this small circle, and what used to be three people drinking turned into four. Song Qingshan's capacity for alcohol was quite good, and after a few drinks, the relationship between the men became much closer.

A round of drinking lasted from morning until noon. Qin Fang and Song Qingshan, due to their deep cultivation, naturally didn't feel much of anything, but Qu Yuancheng and Brother Kong Er couldn't quite handle it and had to pause their plans to continue.

"Since we're just idling around, why don't we go check out the boxing arena?"

Since there wasn't much else to do, Qin Fang temporarily didn't want to go back to the Qu Family, so he immediately suggested it.

"Alright, alright..."

The others naturally had no objections, so they quickly drove over there.

Although boxing matches are generally held in the evening, the arena opens for business during the day as well and offers other services.

Such as practice, sparring, and so on...

Because many wealthy individuals from Hong Kong Island and the surrounding areas maintain some boxers, these boxers often compete at the arena here. To save some trouble, they usually train here as well.

To mutually improve, boxers occasionally engage in some relatively controlled sparring matches...

Of course, the arena doesn't completely turn a blind eye; there are fighters affiliated with the Black Fist Alliance who come to provide some professional guidance.

One reason is to make these fighters more aware of the brutality of the Black Fist Arena; another is to take the opportunity to scout for some promising fighters.

Just like the manager of the Hong Kong Island Arena, even if his strength may not be exceptional, his eye for talent is quite keen. When he first saw Qin Fang, he wanted to bring Qin Fang into the arena, precisely because of this.

By the time Qin Fang and the others arrived, it was already noon, which is mealtime, and many fighters were already eating at the arena.

The facilities here are very comprehensive, with no shortage of various services. When Qin Fang and the others arrived, they had already drunk a lot and had barely eaten, so they just made do with a simple meal here...

The arena's dining area is somewhat like a university cafeteria, but the food here is far superior to the "pig slop" of a university cafeteria, not even on the same level, akin to the difference between a small diner and a five-star hotel...

This is easy to understand; as the saying goes, "Poor scholars, rich martial artists." Those who practice martial arts need to maintain a strong physique and enduring stamina, so a hearty meat meal is essential for each meal; otherwise, how could they withstand the intense energy expenditure of boxing matches...

As the most professional arena, it undoubtedly understands this more than anyone, and naturally wouldn't make such a mistake.

Qin Fang and the others weren't too picky and just dined here with the other fighters... The four men got their meals and sat down together.

"This place... not bad!"

Song Qingshan was visiting such an arena for the first time. Although he hadn't yet witnessed the bloody Black Fist battles, seeing the boxers around, he couldn't help but softly praise.

The number of fighters dining was substantial, and although not all were very strong, there were quite a few Level 5 experts. Moreover, since these boxers participated in bloody battles, their murderous aura was restrained, making their displayed strength even more formidable compared to martial arts experts raised in sheltered environments...

Song Qingshan came to grow through combat, so he naturally enjoyed such an environment...

"I knew you would like this place..."

Qin Fang lightly nodded. The atmosphere here was pretty good, at least much better than those young experts back home who hadn't experienced hardships.

Perhaps knowing they could very well fall in the ring, every fighter trained very hard and seriously. Only the serious fighters are truly formidable because they value their lives dearly, so when facing opponents, they spare no effort to kill them...

"Qingshan, from now on, I'll be relying on you..."

Seeing the excitement in Song Qingshan's eyes, Brother Kong Er was also very pleased.

After a round of drinking, the relationship between the men had grown much closer, so Brother Kong Er no longer called him "Mr. Song", but directly Qingshan, while Song Qingshan called Brother Kong Er "Second Brother".

Brother Kong Er was slightly older than Song Qingshan by two years, so this form of address was no issue... It also reflected the closer relationship beyond mere employer-employee ties.

"Second Brother, rest assured, I will give it my all..."

Although Song Qingshan was somewhat reserved, he knew when to express himself, not making overstatements but sufficiently showing his confidence. (To be continued.
