Chapter 49
Wei Xiao Bei felt that this referee had great talent. It was unknown where the arena owner had found this host, but his mouth was like a torrential river that did not stop. Those that had come here for the first time would definitely be fooled.
The robust man pressed his right hand on the stage and pushed his body up. And then he looked at Wei Xiao Bei to compare their muscles, attracting the audience’s cheers.
At this time, the referee strongly persuaded the audience to lay their bets as the match was about to start.
In this place, every match would have three rounds. The payouts would change every round based on the fighters’ display.
Wei Xiao Bei’s current payout was 1:2; And the Homicidal Demon King’s was 1:15.
In other words, the spectators in the arena had a much more favorable opinion of Homicidal Demon King. After all, his body size and robustness seemed to surpass Wei Xiao Bei’s.
Body size and robustness were usually enough to determine the victor in these low grade underground fighting arenas.
In reality, most of the first time spectators would base their bets on the fighter’s appearance. At the very least, 80 percent of them would choose Homicidal Demon King.
These spectators were very realistic and not idiots. No matter how much hype the referee created, seeing with their own eyes was easier than believing other people. Homicidal Demon King’s strength was easy to see as he had fought in this arena before. Wei Xiao Bei, on the other hand, was a first timer in this arena; who could tell how strong he was?
In addition to this, Wei Xiao Bei’s height and body size simply could not compare to the Homicidal Demon King.
Because of this, eighty percent of the people betting on Homicidal Demon King was quite plausible and even normal.
“Fight!”
Wei Xiao Bei and Homicidal Demon King stood three meters apart, facing each other on the stage. The referee in the middle immediately blew the whistle and quickly went down the stage, scurrying away like a rat.
If he was on stage when the match started and became injured, only he would be responsible for himself.
“Brat, you’re still a virgin right? Why not let this master open your anus?”
Homicidal Demon King let out a fierce look as he insulted and taunted Wei Xiao Bei with his hands.
In reality, this was not a rare occurence on stage. Using insults to provoke the opponent and make them lose their reasoning was a good way of gaining an advantage.
However, the events following this exchange would make him feel as if he should have never opened his big mouth.
Wei Xiao Bei simply ignored him and kicked towards his crotch, startling Homicidal Demon King into blocking his lower body with his hands.
When Homicidal Demon King attempted to block Wei Xiao Bei’s kick, Wei Xiao Bei quickly landed his left foot down. He then stamped his right foot down, shaking the stage. Wei Xiao Bei moved like a fierce tiger and knocked into Homicidal Demon King’s chest.
Iron Mountain Lean!
In a flash, Homicidal Demon King was sent backwards leaving him defenseless. Without waiting for him to stand firmly, Wei Xiao Bei once again stamped his foot and tackled Homicidal Demon King again.
The spectators below were originally cheering after Homicidal Demon King’s provocation and insulted Wei Xiao Bei with him. However in the next moment, they could only see Wei Xiao Bei’s shoulder knocking into Homicidal Demon King’s chest, making the sound of bones breaking echoing throughout the arena.
In half a breath’s time, Homicidal Demon King was like a half-filled sandbag. In a flash he was sent flying back. The cable around the stage could not even block him and sent his body towards the spectators, frightening them.
The referee quickly came out and brought two people with him to drag away Homicidal Demon King, saving the few unfortunate spectators who were squashed beneath him. After confirming Homicidal Demon King’s unconsciousness, the referee got up the stage and announced Wei Xiao Bei’s victory.
Happiness leaked out from Wei Xiao Bei’s face.
He did not even feel guilty about breaking Homicidal Demon King’s bones.
If Homicidal Demon King’s mouth had nicer words to say, Wei Xiao Bei would have probably went easier on him.
But Wei Xiao Bei was not a philanthropist. He would not say the words ‘submit to me and prosper, or oppose me and perish’, but only felt that it was necessary to compensate a tooth for a tooth.
Homicidal Demon King and the unfortunate spectators had been quickly dragged off.
When Wei Xiao Bei went down from the stage, the spectators in the arena began to look at him with reverence. He was able to send the robust Homicidal Demon King flying and even knock him unconscious. If it was them, they would probably be knocked to death.
The previous man gave Wei Xiao Bei his reward.
“1,400 yuan?” Wei Xiao Bei was pleasantly surprised.
“The 400 yuan in there is your percentage.”
The man’s face carried a smile. From now on, he was the one who would be in charge of Wei Xiao Bei. Moreover, whenever Wei Xiao Bei won, he would benefit. As a result, he became much more cordial towards Wei Xiao Bei.
“Junior Apprentice Brother ain’t bad. It’s only been such a short time yet your Iron Mountain Lean had been trained to this degree!”
Pat. Wei Xiao Bei felt his shoulder sink as his Second Apprentice Brother Zhang Zhi Long appeared behind him.
For the spectators in the arena, the fight only just spurred on their liveliness and gossip.
However, it was very different in Zhang Zhi Long’s eyes.
The Iron Mountain Lean that Wei Xiao Bei performed on the stage was already quite similar to his.
In truth, Zhang Zhi Long was a bit jealous of his junior apprentice brother.
It must be understood that Zhang Zhi Long was currently 28 years old. He had been training for 14 years already. Wei Xiao Bei’s current skill seemed to be at his level when he was in his 12th year.
This was enough to make him angry to death!
Buf for now, he could only let go of the jealousy in his heart.
The better his junior apprentice brother became, the more benefits he could gain as the second senior apprentice brother.
Zhang Zhi Long knew that his natural aptitude could only reach a certain point. He could not even compare to Yao Wu. Moreover, even though he was a child from an influential family, he was not blessed in business, so the clan did not place any importance in him.
However, having connections was also a very important resource. In China, martial arts and business were actually inseparable.
If a person could make friends with a Guo Shu expert, then many things would be easy to do.
At first, Zhang Zhi Long had planned to turn himself into a Guo Shu expert. However, he knew that if a genius was 100 points, he could only be 60 points.
Now that Wei Xiao Bei appeared, he felt that his desire was about to be fulfilled.
“He he.”
Wei Xiao Bei did not know how to explain things, so he could only awkwardly smile.
