I Am A Prodigy

At the same time, at the other corner of the underground arena…

A group of Chinese sat there. Some of them were uneasy and occasionally looked around.

“I didn’t expect this Inferno Boxing Gym to have an underground arena that I’ve never heard of,” said Li Tai as he frowned.

“It just feels like these foreigners get to act with impunity in our country,” Li Jing chimed in.

Their party of seven consists of seven people. Li Tai, Li Jing, Sister Lin, and Xiao Feifei at the core. Then there were three other martial arts stuntmen that were there to act as bodyguards.

“With their special rights, it’s natural for these foreigners to be insolent.” Li Tai sighed. These foreigners not only had special rights but also many benefits. Although it was a necessary diplomatic arrangement, it still feels unfair when brought up.

“If only we knew they had this planned, we could bring more people along,” said one of the martial arts stuntmen. Being seated amongst all the well-built foreigners, it was natural for them to feel a little uneasy.

“Since the gym owner invited us over, he would surely have made preparations,” Li Tai sighed again, then advised, “You guys must ensure Xiao Feifei and Sister Lin’s safety.”

The two ladies naturally needed protection the most.

“I wonder if Lingchen can find us here…” Xiao Feifei said in a weak voice, her face looking sickly pale.

“Feifei, you shouldn’t have come while you’re ill,” said Sister Lin in a worried tone.

Xiao Feifei smiled. “Since I’m just going to lay around doing nothing, coming outside for a stretch won’t hurt.”

Right then, a group of people rushed inside which caused a commotion.

At the helm was a muscled man with his upper arms exposed. The rock hard muscles bulged all over his body, giving off a feeling of terrifying strength.

Furthermore, his physique was considered big even by England’s standards, standing tall at two full meters, and he had eyes that gleamed like a well-polished brass bell.

Behind him was another group of muscled men with their upper arms exposed. They fell into two lines and marched forward in strides.

Bang, bang, bang!

With all of them at that size taking strides together, their footsteps sounded thunderous as the ground shook from their footsteps.

Instantly, the entire underground arena boiled over with excitement.

“Oh My God! It’s Ali personally leading the team into the ring!”

“He’s so manly. He’s the pride of England!”

“We lucked out this time to see the former boxing champion!”

“That’s Ali?!” Xu Nan exclaimed in surprise after taking a deep breath.

That man exuded a strong presence, giving off the feeling of an immovable mountain. A normal person would not even have the courage to face him, much less fight him.

“Hehe, you haven’t seen him box!” Lu Chao snickered with a hint of smugness. “He can throw up to five punches in a second! Furthermore, each of the punches hit at a minimum of 100kg force!”

“That’s unbelievable!”

That speed and strength were already beyond the limits of a human. Even wild beasts might not have such strength.

To put simply, it would be an easy feat for Ali to punch a bull to death.

“Explosive power, speed, and raw strength. All of them flawless. How else would he be a boxing champion?” Lu Chao laughed, then continued, “however, he retired for too long and was eventually forgotten. Behind him are the boxing gym’s instructors. They are strong as well.”

Li Mo chimed in too, “You see that bald guy? One week ago, a merchant hired him as a bodyguard to brave through the rainforests of South Africa!”

The rainforests of South Africa are filled with all sorts of dangers and wild beasts. If a normal person were to enter, that person would probably end up as food within half a day.

“If the rainforests of South Africa are too vague, you should have heard about the Warrior’s Department right?” Lu Chao pursed his lips. “These people each hold the record of defeating martial artists! I think those so-called Chinese Kungfu are nothing but parlor tricks! Only in boxing where you fight your way through real fights with every punch is the real Kungfu!”

A look of displeasure flashed through Xu Nan’s face. “Amongst martial artists, there are varying levels of strength. Even if they had defeated martial artists, that doesn’t mean that they can defeat other martial artists, much less look down on Chinese Kungfu!”

“Hahaha, Xu Nan, I know that even back in the police academy, you disliked hearing others insult Chinese Kungfu. I was the same.” Lu Chao laughed loudly. “However, the truth remains. Chinese Kungfu is a product of fiction! After spending so much time in the police academy, do you think you’re strong enough?”

Xu Nan faltered, unable to refute.

As a girl, upon entering the police academy, she had her dreams. However, after much training, she could only manage to handle some simple thugs. If she met these people, she would not even last one punch.

“I, too, have seen the wonders of the outside country before I had to unwillingly accept the fact that Chinese Kungfu is fake!” Lu Chao lamented earnestly, “We can’t just live in our imaginary world. Since boxing proved to be amazing, why not learn it? Why don’t you take some time to come over in the future? I’ll teach you for free so that you can have more options in your future missions.”

Xu Nan was slightly moved. She had always felt that women should be on equal footing with men, fueling her pursuit for strength.

A delighted smile immediately appeared on Lu Chao’s face. Once Xu Nan came by daily, then things were pretty much settled. To get her from that point would be an easy feat.

He turned to look at Ye Lingchen, then took on the tone of a senior lecturing his juniors. “People need to learn from the strength of others. Admitting the failure of Chinese Kungfu is not shameful. The right way is to learn the strengths of foreigners! Brother, if you’re interested in learning boxing, I’ll give you a 20 percent discount!”

“No thanks,” Ye Lingchen replied indifferently, shaking his head.

Lu Chao shot a cold look at Ye Lingchen.

‘Brat, to hell with your arrogance! If not for Xu Nan, I would not even look at you!’

“Damn! Director Li, you’re trying to recruit Ali the boxing champion?!” Li Jing was stunned when he saw Ali.

Li Tai nodded bitterly. “I’ve heard from others that as the boxing champion, Ali can be our spotlight in our movie. I only thought of trying my luck.”

“No wonder this boxing gym is fearsome. The one running the show is the former boxing champion!” Sister Lin too took in a gasp of cold air. She dared not look directly at Ali as it was too terrifying for her.

“Now this is difficult. Ali would not be easy to recruit.” Li Jing’s face darkened. “He mentioned that he wants to try out Chinese Kungfu, but who would be able to face him off?”

…

The underground arena tournament was meant for challenges between boxing gyms. It was also a weekly assessment for Inferno Boxing Gym to showcase their matches to the public, functioning as an advertisement and an income source.

Once the judges entered the ring, it signified the start of a match.

The entire arena entered a crazed state. When they saw two well-built boxers slowly making their way to the ring, the foreigners stood up excitedly, screaming at the top of their lungs…
