If it were an ordinary person, they would undoubtedly be in a state of extreme panic at this moment. After all, Big Dog Bear was as terrifying as a fierce beast, and the light of the [Federal Law] did not shine in the dark corners of the underground boxing ring. Here, killing someone was as common as swatting a fly.
But Wang Ge, who had seen and experienced too much in the five years he had spent in the underground boxing ring, remained calm due to his naturally steady nature. He observed his surroundings, thinking of ways to escape, and calmly tried to reason with Big Dog Bear:
"Brother Bear, calm down. We have no grudge against each other. If you stop now, I can pretend nothing happened. The law may not reach the underground boxing ring, but the training ground has its own rules. Maliciously killing or injuring a sparring partner is not allowed!
"You were already fined and severely warned by the boxing ring for injuring Xiao Zhong. If you injure me today, even if you have a match tonight, Brother Shui won't let you off!"
While the rules of the training ground stated that killing a sparring partner was not allowed, everyone knew that the underground boxing ring wouldn't let a boxer pay with their life just because a sparring partner died. The benefits a sparring partner brought to the underground boxing ring were incomparable to those of a boxer. Killing a sparring partner would only result in a small compensation fee, and it would be difficult to find a new sparring partner for a while.
However, boxers were the foundation of the underground boxing ring. At most, the boxer would be punished and fined, but that was all.
Wang Ge could only use the fact that Big Dog Bear had already injured Xiao Zhong to his advantage. He believed that Big Dog Bear's repeated offenses would anger Brother Shui, the manager, and hoped to use Brother Shui's authority to make Big Dog Bear come to his senses.
At first, his words did slow Big Dog Bear down, but when he mentioned Brother Shui, Big Dog Bear's eyes turned wild and bloodthirsty. He roared, "Brother Shui! Brother Shui! You dare to use Brother Shui to pressure me! I'll kill you first, and see if Brother Shui will make me pay with my life!"
Big Dog Bear suddenly accelerated, charging at Wang Ge. His massive body truly resembled a large bear, casting a shadow that completely enveloped Wang Ge.
A fast and powerful straight punch from Big Dog Bear was already at Wang Ge's chest. Wang Ge hadn't expected his words to backfire, but he remained calm in the face of Big Dog Bear's frenzy.
He quickly brought his arms together, forming a flat surface with his forearms, creating a "shield" in front of his chest.
When Big Dog Bear's fist hit Wang Ge's arms, Wang Ge was prepared to use the force to retreat, knowing that the strength difference between them would likely break his arm if he resisted.
However, to his surprise, his arms didn't feel much force. Wang Ge's heart sank. "Damn! It's a feint!"
"Hmph... Let this little sparring partner see my ultimate move, the [Seven Chaos Strikes]!" Big Dog Bear's eyes were filled with mockery. His right straight punch only touched Wang Ge's "shield" and quickly retreated, using the momentum to close the distance and deliver a short, powerful left hook.
The hook hit Wang Ge's abdomen with incredible speed!
This feint successfully deceived Wang Ge. Although the short-range punch didn't allow Big Dog Bear to use his full strength, and the soft gel vest absorbed some of the impact, it was still far beyond what Wang Ge's Level 5 life could withstand.
Wang Ge felt his insides churn. The powerful impact made him bend over like a shrimp, and his body was involuntarily lifted into the air!
Big Dog Bear was already prepared for the follow-up. After hitting Wang Ge with his left hook, he quickly raised his right arm, and his elbow, like an iron spike, slammed down onto Wang Ge's back.
"Thud—"
Wang Ge, hit by Big Dog Bear's combo, fell heavily onto the hard, cold cement floor.
A wave of blood surged to his throat, but Wang Ge forced himself not to spit it out, as the action would waste time. A sense of extreme danger washed over him, and Wang Ge, with a mouth full of blood, used his hands and feet to roll quickly to the side.
"Thump—"
Just as Wang Ge rolled away, Big Dog Bear's powerful split kick, aimed at him, hit the ground with a thunderous sound!
With a "tear," Big Dog Bear's leather boots couldn't withstand the force and split open. When he lifted his foot, a shallow footprint was left on the cement floor, the sole pattern clearly visible!
Wang Ge, who had rolled away, looked back and shuddered. The footprint was right where his head had been. If he hadn't dodged in time, that kick would have crushed his head like a watermelon!
He really wants to kill me!
Wang Ge had been hesitant, thinking that Big Dog Bear only wanted to beat him up to vent his anger.
Injuring a sparring partner was a minor issue for a boxer, but if a sparring partner injured a boxer, preventing them from participating in a match, it would be a matter of life and death!
Wang Ge wasn't afraid of death, but thinking of his sister waiting for him at home, he chose to back down. He wanted to stall and find an opportunity to escape.
Backing down was based on the assumption that Big Dog Bear only wanted to beat him up. However, Big Dog Bear's split kick made Wang Ge realize that Big Dog Bear truly wanted to kill him.
Wang Ge's eyes changed. If they had been filled with fear and evasion before, they now shone with a mad light.
"Damn, you still dare to dodge?" Big Dog Bear, enraged and embarrassed, was performing the "Seven Chaos Strikes," a seven-hit combo. Wang Ge's timely dodge had forced him to stop, nearly causing his leg to cramp.
Big Dog Bear, cursing, charged again. When he ran, he was like a human tank, his heavy footsteps sounding like thunder. He leaped, spreading his arms wide like a glider, lunging at Wang Ge.
Wang Ge, without thinking, reacted instinctively. The difference in levels meant that despite Big Dog Bear's large size, he was faster than Wang Ge. If Wang Ge had thought before acting, it would have been too late.
He didn't dodge but fell backward as if scared, raising his hands to cover his face—hiding his fierce, wolf-like gaze.
"Ha ha ha..." Big Dog Bear thought he had intimidated Wang Ge. In his mind, Wang Ge was just a sparring partner, incapable of any lethal moves.
Wang Ge's constant dodging and evasion had made Big Dog Bear underestimate him as an equal opponent.
Big Dog Bear, like a mountain, came down with full force. He believed that his weight, momentum, and the impact of his fall would at least break a few of Wang Ge's ribs.
But just as Big Dog Bear was about to land on Wang Ge, Wang Ge's arms, which had been covering his face, changed their angle slightly.
He clenched his fists, pressing them against his shoulders, and his elbows were like spikes, pointing upward. His legs, curled up, also pointed upward. From the side, Wang Ge's body formed two triangles, with his elbows and knees as the points!
Having trained thousands of black market boxers over the years, Wang Ge had learned not only defense but also offense.
His defense was unorthodox, and his offense was unpredictable. He had combined the strengths of various techniques, making them his own.
They might not look good, but they were very practical.
Big Dog Bear's heart felt as if it had been gripped. Panicking, he tried to change his move, but being in mid-air, he had no leverage. The suddenness of the situation, combined with the alcohol in his system, made his movements less agile.
"Ugh..." Big Dog Bear grunted, his forehead and temples bulging with veins, his face turning red, and sweat pouring down.
Wang Ge's elbows were aimed at Big Dog Bear's throat, but in a critical moment, Big Dog Bear pulled his chin back, narrowly avoiding the vital spot. However, his teeth were hit, causing his front teeth to loosen and his mouth to fill with blood.
But the pain wasn't from his teeth; it was from his groin.
Wang Ge's knee hit Big Dog Bear's groin precisely, and the "shattered" feeling made Big Dog Bear's entire body stiffen in pain.
"Ugh..."
This grunt was from Wang Ge. Although Big Dog Bear was hit by two strikes, he still landed heavily on Wang Ge, the impact making Wang Ge feel as if he couldn't breathe, but he wasn't injured.
The intense pain in his groin made Big Dog Bear curl up like a shrimp, unable to exert any force. He rolled off Wang Ge, drenched in cold sweat, and writhed in pain on the ground.
Wang Ge, without a moment's hesitation, picked up a large piece of broken bottle and pounced on Big Dog Bear.
Big Dog Bear, in pain, rolled on the ground, but his experience in life-and-death matches made him alert. Seeing Wang Ge pounce, he endured the pain, lay on his back, and used his hands to push off the ground. His body bent, and he suddenly kicked out with both feet, aiming at Wang Ge!
This was a "rabbit kick," and Wang Ge, not dodging, focused all his strength on his abdomen, protected by the soft gel vest, and took the kick.
Although the force was reduced by the gel vest, it still hit Wang Ge's abdomen, making him spit out a mouthful of blood. However, he used the momentum to tightly grab Big Dog Bear's legs.
Blood flowed from his hand, which held the sharp piece of glass, but he seemed to feel no pain. He plunged the glass into Big Dog Bear's heel!
"Aaaah—"
Big Dog Bear let out a piercing scream. The glass had completely pierced his heel, and the intense pain made him pull his other foot out of Wang Ge's grip. With great strength, he kicked Wang Ge again.
The kick was sudden and fast, hitting Wang Ge's chest and sending him flying backward.
Big Dog Bear, having endured the worst of the pain, knew that in life-and-death situations, one must be ruthless to survive. He stood up, but the pain made him stagger.
"Damn!" Big Dog Bear spat. He suspected that the glass had cut his Achilles tendon, unsure if it was intentional or a lucky hit.
Gritting his teeth, Big Dog Bear, despite his injured foot, charged at Wang Ge, determined to snap his neck.
Wang Ge, lying on the ground, spat out blood and quickly got up. He knew he had likely injured his internal organs, but any moment of relaxation meant death. He got up, grabbed a handful of glass shards, and the pain from the shards in his palm kept him calm and alert.
Weak people couldn't survive in Meteor Street.
Even as a sparring partner, Wang Ge had learned the survival rule—cruelty.
Cruel to himself.
Even more cruel to his enemies.
Big Dog Bear, limping, rushed to Wang Ge, his large hands reaching out to grab him, using a grappling technique:
One hand to choke, the other to stab!
Wang Ge threw the glass shards at Big Dog Bear's face, startling him and making him close his eyes and turn his head, slowing his grappling.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Ge charged forward, his shoulder like a hammer, hitting Big Dog Bear's chest.
[Iron Mountain Strike]!
This was one of the few techniques Wang Ge had learned from his sparring sessions, and although he wasn't proficient, it was used perfectly at this moment.
The impact made Big Dog Bear gasp for breath. Wang Ge, using the momentum, pushed Big Dog Bear backward while holding the broken bottle in his hand, the long, sharp end like a dagger.
Big Dog Bear's arms, like iron bands, wrapped around Wang Ge, his thick, muscular arms squeezing Wang Ge's bones to creak.
Wang Ge, unable to raise his arm, thrust the bottle into Big Dog Bear's side.
