While Yang Fei's Martial Arts skills were making great strides,

the Zhonghai Underworld was stirred by tremendous upheaval.

At midnight, the entire city began to quiet down.

However, the activity at the Zhonghai Fighting Demon Underground Boxing Ring was just lifting the curtain on the nightlife.

Within the arena, there were heart-shocking heavy metal drum music and enormous shouts that were deafening.

In the middle of the boxing ring, a cement fighting platform stood more than two meters above the ground.

Thick leather ropes formed a fence around it.

Arched around the platform, tiered stands encircled it.

The audience in the stands had already fallen into a state of frenzy, excited beyond control.

Not far away, the betting staff were running around hectically.

And those who were placing bets formed a long queue, the noise deafening, the crowd extremely packed.

This was an underground parking garage of a large building in the suburbs of Zhonghai.

Now, however, it had been turned into such a place for underground Black Fist fighting.

Wei Chengwu, one of the great owls of Zhonghai, sat in the presidential seat with his legs crossed casually.

On his square-shaped face, he wore large sunglasses.

Next to Wei Chengwu was a man in his thirties.

He was muscular, his body brimming with Essence Qi.

This man was Dong Bicheng, Wei Chengwu's Chief Bodyguard, who had already achieved Transforming Energy Yellow Grade.

Wei Chengwu glanced at the fighter below who was warming up.

He said indifferently, "Tell them, they must wear their protective gear."

"If someone dies, I can't explain it to Queen Lin."

Dong Bicheng let out a sigh.

"With protective gear on, we can't stir up the audience's enthusiasm, and the bets placed will be lower; wouldn't it be better if..."

Wei Chengwu slightly stood up, giving Dong Bicheng a stern look.

"This is a new rule from Queen Lin; she originally wanted me to give up the arena business entirely."

"It was only after much persuasion that I managed to keep this industry."

"If someone dies, it's all over."

Dong Bicheng nodded his head, not daring to say another word.

Just at that moment, an emcee dressed in a bright red suit took the microphone and stepped onto the platform.

He shouted loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world of Fighting Demon."

"Here, you can experience the most surging passion, the most thrilling fight scenes."

"Next, please welcome our most formidable, bravest challenger—Lone Wolf to the stage!"

All the audience members responded with a round of enthusiastic applause.

And a big man with a fierce look and an eyepatch charged onto the fighting platform.

He kept throwing quick punches around the platform, showing off his strong muscles.

This slightly exaggerated performance immediately provoked screams from the audience below.

The emcee announced again with a loud voice.

"Next, please welcome our most brutal, most terrifying Arena Champion—Killing King to the stage!"

A Big Bald man slapped his shiny head as he rushed onto the fighting platform.

He beat his chest like a gorilla, letting out a roar that shook the heavens.

The appearance of Killing King immediately caused more exclamations from the audience.

Screams and countless excited whistles echoed throughout the place.

Wei Chengwu smiled slightly.

"Looks like Old Killer's in good form, looking forward to his performance."

Killing King was one of Wei Chengwu's bodyguards.

The guy was a fervent fighting enthusiast, fond of boxing, and had become the first Arena Champion of the Fighting Demon Arena.

After the emcee announced the start of the match, the two boxers on the platform began to fight.

Their combat was fierce, their punches like wind, heavy and powerful.

Hook punches, whip kicks—no holds barred, all blows landed with full impact.

Killing King took a punch from Lone Wolf, and blood sprayed from his nose.

However, the man didn't care at all, his face painted extremely terrifying with fresh blood.

Such fighting, in the eyes of ordinary people, was indeed incredibly stimulating.

The adrenaline surged rapidly in everyone present.

Amid the boxing ring, screams pierced through one's ears causing them to ache.

```

However, Wei Chengwu and Dong Bicheng exchanged smiles as they looked at each other.

In their eyes, there was profound meaning.

These two fighters were actually Wei Chengwu's subordinates, and their boxing was merely for show.

They purposely put on such a terrifying and fierce display, solely for the sake of amusement.

Of course, not every fight was staged.

There were always plenty of Martial Artists short on cash, willing to step into the ring to challenge the Arena Champion.

Or when someone from Dragon Crossing the River came to stir up the scene, it turned into a real duel.

The two fought for a while.

Lone Wolf was floored by a punch to the head from Killing King, crashing to the ground.

After struggling for a while, he finally stopped moving.

The referee raised Killing King's hand, shouting loudly.

"Killing King wins, he becomes the Champion who has defended his title for the eleventh time."

"Congratulations to Killing King!"

Killing King's face and head were covered in blood.

This blood-smeared appearance, coupled with his burly build like that of a bear, gave an unspeakable thrill to everyone.

All the spectators were so excited by the host's provocative words that their blood was boiling.

Everyone stood up, waving their arms and chanting, "Killing King, Killing King..."

Just then, someone sneered through a megaphone they carried, and the sound quickly filled the entire venue.

This voice was chilling to the bone, piercing every listener's ear like icy daggers.

The majority of the people were jolted into sobriety in that instant.

"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, is this what they call Huaxia fighting?"

"It's not even comparable to child's play."

The voice spoke lazily.

Though not loud, it was heard clearly by everyone through the megaphone, thick with mocking tones.

Killing King's waving arms immediately froze.

The smiles on the faces of the referee and the host also suddenly stiffened.

Who had such audacity to challenge Wei Chengwu at his own venue?

And this person was extremely arrogant.

Not only had they insulted the two fighters, but they also insulted Huaxia Martial Arts.

The entire audience was stunned for a moment, and then the venue erupted into an uproar.

"Who the hell is so arrogant?"

"So cocky, show yourself if you've got the guts!"

"How dare you belittle Huaxia Martial Arts like that? If you're so capable, get up on the stage!"

...

In an instant, everyone began shouting indignantly,

At the same time, they looked around, searching for the source of the voice.

Wei Chengwu forcibly suppressed the annoyance in his heart, stood up, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"What esteemed master has graced us with their presence, please step onto the stage and enlighten us."

This was the rule of the Underground Black Fist.

If someone came to challenge, the Arena Champion had to accept the fight.

Otherwise, the Fighting Arena would lose its reputation and could no longer operate.

This was the reason why Yang Fei single-handedly challenged Sun Weiren's First Blood Arena back in the day.

In the northeastern part of the arena, three or four people stood up.

Among them, a short and lean man with a Little Beard had a microphone clipped to his collar.

The short man strutted up to Wei Chengwu.

He pointed to his nose and said lightly, "What I said, what do you think?"

Wei Chengwu looked at the man, fire nearly blazing from his eyes.

Yet, he still maintained his restraint.

"Since you look down upon our Huaxia fighting techniques, please step onto the stage and enlighten us!"

The short man snorted.

"I had exactly that intention, to show you ants what real fighting is all about!"

As he spoke, he sprang forward, effortlessly leaping over the ropes and landing in the middle of the ring.

The moment this move was revealed, Wei Chengwu instantly turned grave.
