Chapter 55

This is not true!

The head of the Choi family in Seoul, South Korea, looked at the TV with a look of disbelief. Choi Jung-tae was the most outstanding descendant of the Choi family and the next head of the family. His death in battle was nothing short of a disaster for the Choi family!

This is not true!

The people of Seoul, South Korea, looked at the TV with a look of disbelief.

The pride of South Korea, the youngest martial arts grandmaster, actually died in Hong Kong!

This was something that the South Koreans found hard to accept!

A shadow fell over the entire country of South Korea.

Everyone was inwardly questioning whether South Korea had been abandoned by heaven!

The South Korean stock market, affected by this, saw a rare and significant drop, eventually turning into a stock market disaster. The direct and indirect losses amounted to one trillion Korean won!

Years later, a director based on this event made a movie called "Seoul Does Not Cry." Due to its gray tone, it won numerous awards!

In contrast, the weak Hong Kong stock market experienced a large-scale surge!

Bull market!

Bull market!

Bull market!

The entire Hong Kong was boiling!

The entire Hong Kong economy received a strong injection!

The Hong Kong martial god, the youngest national martial arts grandmaster — Wang Zhong!

The well-known American martial arts magazine "Black Belt" featured Wang Zhong on its cover and did a detailed report.

Instinctive combat, this was the magazine's description of Wang Zhong's boxing style!

This was the first time the concept of instinctive combat was formally proposed!

"Black Belt" magazine is one of the most influential magazines in the martial arts world. Being featured on the cover is a form of praise from the martial arts community for Wang Zhong's grandmaster status.

Martial arts enthusiasts around the world knew that another grandmaster had been born in Hong Kong!

In California, USA, where Bruce Lee first opened the Jun Fan Martial Arts School and where the philosophy of Jeet Kune Do was truly formed.

This is the hub of Bruce Lee fans!

Because Wang Zhong is a Hong Kong national martial arts grandmaster, the people of California love him by association.

The next martial arts master after Bruce!

This is what Americans call Wang Zhong!

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) also sent an invitation to Wang Zhong, hoping he would participate in the competition.

WWE, a world-class sports entertainment (professional wrestling) and entertainment conglomerate, has a large number of fans in the United States and around the world.

However, it is worth noting that this is an entertainment project, and the outcomes and processes of the matches are scripted.

Wang Zhong refused without hesitation. He is a martial artist, not an actor!

In Southeast Asia, the Muay Thai experts who had been clamoring for a duel with Wang Zhong fell silent!

They may ignore death, but that doesn't mean they like it!

The Chinese martial artists in Southeast Asia felt a sense of pride.

You guys are so strong, go challenge Wang Zhong!

Muay Thai is invincible, go ahead!

Even Malaysia and the Philippines, which have long been hostile to the Chinese, became unusually quiet.

Japan is a country that respects the strong. When Bruce Lee defeated many Japanese martial artists, he was not only not hated but was also called a martial arts saint!

His bronze statue still stands in Sakura Park, with countless people paying homage every day.

The Japan Karate Association immediately sent Wang Zhong an invitation for the "Hundred Hands" trial.

The "Hundred Hands" trial is the most brutal test in karate. The invitee must defeat 100 karate practitioners in a row. This is a nearly impossible test.

In modern karate history, only a few people like Morihei Ueshiba of Aikido and Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate, have passed the "Hundred Hands" trial!

However, once the "Hundred Hands" trial is passed, the person will receive the "Hundred Hands" certification and have the qualification to establish their own school in Japan!

Given the extreme difficulty of the "Hundred Hands" trial, future generations have intentionally reduced the difficulty. Even so, those who can pass the "Hundred Hands" trial are all strong!

William in Australia was very interested in any news about Wang Zhong. After seeing the report in "Black Belt" magazine, William was even more convinced that Wang Zhong possessed supernatural energy!

The Australian supernatural phenomena forum had the most heated discussions about Wang Zhong!

Is there really a superhuman in this world?

An article signed by William was widely reprinted on various Australian forums and portals. Wang Zhong, a name that had faded from public view, once again topped the search engines.

The mysterious feng shui master!

The powerful martial artist!

The low-key farmer!

Roth Ranch became a holy place in the hearts of the members of the supernatural association!

The pure-blooded racehorse Roth became a focus in Australia again.

"Your martial arts are purer now!"

Kyuuta looked at Wang Zhong with a look of shock.

"Life and death battles, no breakthrough, no establishment!"

Wang Zhong was not surprised that Kyuuta noticed his improvement. Perhaps due to his age, Kyuuta's practical combat ability has declined, but that doesn't mean his discernment has declined.

"So you publicly challenged Jin Jia Pan!"

Kyuuta said with some understanding.

"You are wrong!"

Wang Zhong denied it without hesitation.

"Oh!"

Kyuuta looked at Wang Zhong with surprise, his eyes showing a questioning and listening expression.

"Only the weak challenge the strong, and the word 'challenge' can be used. Jin Jia Pan is not worthy of my challenge; he is just a whetstone for me!"

Wang Zhong said without hesitation.

"But unfortunately, he retreated. Jin Jia Pan, with a flawed mindset, will have no chance of breaking through in his life!"

"Your strength is so great!"

Kyuuta said in disbelief.

"It seems your trip to Wudang was very fruitful!"

Kyuuta murmured, as if thinking of something.

"Do you see the path ahead?"

Kyuuta asked with a look of anticipation, as if thinking of something.

"I see it!"

Wang Zhong looked at Kyuuta and nodded seriously.

"Ha ha ha!"

Kyuuta stood up and laughed excitedly.

"Good, good, good!"

He even said "good" three times in a row.

"Where is the path?"

Kyuuta asked curiously.

"There was no path in the world, but once you walk through it, it becomes a path!"

Wang Zhong said solemnly.

"What if you can't walk through it?"

Kyuuta countered.

"Then I will fight through it!"

Wang Zhong said without hesitation.

"I look forward to the day you reach the other shore!"

Kyuuta patted Wang Zhong's shoulder and said solemnly.

Their conversation seemed to be whimsical and illogical, but Wang Zhong understood, and Kyuuta understood!

The so-called path is the realm after the transformation, in other words, what to do after breaking through human limits!

The realm of the Golden Core!

Only by breaking through the Golden Core can one completely escape the constraints of the rules!

Swallowing a Golden Core, my fate is determined by me, not by heaven!

This "heaven" is the cosmic law, the natural order!

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are the way of heaven; birth, aging, illness, and death are the way of humans!

To escape, one must achieve the Golden Core and become immortal!

But throughout history, countless beings, how many have achieved it?

Moreover, in the current era of the decline of the law, no immortals have appeared!

This is also Kyuuta's concern; there is no path in the world!

Wang Zhong's response was even more radical; if there is no path, then create one. Who dares to block me, I will eliminate them, gods and Buddhas alike!

As if sensing Wang Zhong's ambition, the atmosphere around him changed, like a sword drawn from its sheath, giving a sense of invincibility.

At the headquarters of the Chinese Martial Arts Association

Kyuuta, the grandmaster, sat at the head of the table, and Wang Zhong sat in the second position.

Everyone felt it was natural for Wang Zhong to sit there.

This respect was earned through his fists!

This was also the recognition of Wang Zhong's status by everyone!

"Let's discuss it!"

Kyuuta put down his teacup and said loudly.

It turned out that Wang Zhong, inspired by WWE, proposed the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) to the Chinese Martial Arts Association, leveraging the momentum of the grandmaster's death.

UFC, or the Ultimate Fighting Championship, promotes the concept of mixed martial arts, as Bruce Lee said, "Using no way as the way, having no limitation as the limitation."

Martial artists from various disciplines such as national martial arts, karate, jujitsu, boxing, taekwondo, and military combat will fight in the iconic octagonal cage, and the ultimate winner will be crowned the "Mixed Martial Arts Champion"!

The only rule of UFC is that there are no rules!

This is a completely different competition format from WWE, more exciting, more bloody, and the best stage for martial artists to hone their skills!

"Such a real competition is a rare opportunity for all participants to improve. A martial artist who has never shed blood can never mature, and this is also the reason why each generation of martial artists is not as good as the last!"

Yang Delu supported it first.

"Such a large-scale event requires a lot of funding, venues, and other resources!"

Ma San, considering the huge funding gap, said with a headache.

"I have had professionals assess the costs of the UFC venue, personnel, maintenance, etc., which amount to about 10 million Hong Kong dollars per year. However, we can sell broadcasting rights to TVB, CCTV-5, American TV stations, etc., and these funds will be sufficient to support the UFC!"

Wang Zhong took out a professional report, detailing the costs and expected income of the UFC.

This is an investment proposal!

"I will personally invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars for the initial setup and hire the most professional managers to operate it. I need 60% of the UFC shares and control of the operations. The remaining 40% will be dry shares for the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and the annual profits will be used as development funds for the association."

Wang Zhong took out a draft agreement prepared by Wang Sikou, clearly defining the rights and obligations of all parties.

"Such an event is a good thing for the martial arts community!"

Kyuuta made the final decision, meaning that the Chinese Martial Arts Association and Wang Zhong would jointly host the UFC fighting tournament.

After understanding Wang Zhong's vision, Kyuuta began to support him unconditionally.

This tournament also has the advantage of gathering martial arts elites from around the world. The saying "using the stone from another mountain to polish the jade" applies here, which is a rare feast for both Wang Zhong and national martial arts!

The damaged Kowloon Stadium was bought by Wang Zhong at a high price and underwent simple renovations. The iconic UFC octagonal cage was set up.

The famous American manager Dana White, a martial arts enthusiast, was attracted by Wang Zhong's unique and innovative ideas and took a pay cut to serve as the UFC professional manager!

Wang Zhong was also generous with money, supporting anything that would benefit the event unconditionally!

As Wang Zhong put it, we aim to create the world's top event, not a farce!

The best advertising spots, the most popular TV programs, the most luxurious venues, the most professional medical teams!

All these were assembled with a large amount of money!

UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship promotional ads frequently appeared on TV media in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and other regions!

There is only one rule here, and that is no rules!

I am waiting for you in the UFC, do you dare to come?

WE NEED YOU!

The most masculine fighting!

Whether you are a national martial arts enthusiast, a karate practitioner, a boxer, or a land combat expert, as long as you have undergone systematic training and have mixed martial arts skills, you should come here, defeat all your opponents, and you will be the king of mixed martial arts!

Tired of flashy and fake matches? Come to the UFC mixed martial arts!

This is a sport for the brave!

Martial artists around the world were shocked, and countless martial artists eager to hone their skills in real combat set out on their journeys.

United States

A black youth with bulging muscles and a robust physique set out on a journey alone. His name is Tyson, originally a street thug, who was unexpectedly discovered by a boxing coach and trained to become the heavyweight champion of the United States!

Japan

The disciple of Masutatsu Oyama, the founder of Kyokushin Karate, Ryukawa Kosei, silently bid farewell to his teacher, vowing to return even stronger!

Middle East

An Islamic cleric in a white robe with an aggressive gaze looked into the distance. He is the descendant of the King of Assassins, the member of the oldest and most ancient assassin organization in the Middle East.

Their names were once taboo!

Even today, they still top the lists of assassins!

"My fists thirst for blood!"

Siberian Training Camp

Siberia is a high-latitude region and one of the coldest places in the world.

But there is a group of people with strong bodies who train intensively in -30°C temperatures every day. They can kill polar bears with their bare hands.

"The glory of the Siberian Training Camp will be restored!"

Brazil

Brazil, known for football, samba, and jujitsu in the martial arts world.

Brazilian jujitsu is older than Japanese jujitsu.

"I will show you that Brazilian jujitsu is the real deal!"

The Brazilian jujitsu champion Barbara looked in the direction of Japan and murmured.
