Chapter 76

In the boxing ring of the gym, He Dong and Tie Jun stood facing each other. He Dong's expression remained casual, forming a stark contrast with Tie Jun's serious demeanor.

The situation in the audience was quite the opposite. Wang Xuewu and He Xi looked tense, while Zhou Fu'an, Cheng Tianlei, and the others were all smug and full of confidence, as if He Dong had already lost.

"Xiao Xi, how strong is Brother Dong?" Wang Xuewu asked in a low voice.

"My brother is of course very strong. When we were kids, no one in our village could beat him!" He Xi said with admiration.

Although the He Dong of the past was not particularly athletic, he had a tenacity and ferocity that others lacked. This made him fight like a maniac, and with this tenacity and ferocity, He Dong had gained a considerable reputation. However, this all came to a halt when He Dong started middle school.

"Fighting?" Wang Xuewu's face suddenly changed as he looked at He Xi, then asked nervously, "Has Brother Dong never learned kickboxing?"

"Do you need to learn to fight?" He Xi said disdainfully.

"It's kickboxing, not just fighting!" Wang Xuewu said with a pained expression.

"Ah, whether it's kickboxing or fighting, it's all about who has the harder punch and more strength, and who dares to fight and struggle. Don't worry, my brother won't lose in this aspect!" He Xi reassured Wang Xuewu.

"Heaven, you really defeat me!" Wang Xuewu exclaimed, clutching his head in pain.

Compared to the unrest in the audience, the two men in the ring seemed to be in a different world. They stood quietly, adjusting their state and breathing, while carefully observing their opponent.

Tie Jun did not underestimate He Dong just because he was a veteran. Although He Dong looked like an ordinary person with many vulnerabilities, there was something about him that made Tie Jun uneasy.

He Dong was not worried about losing. With his current abilities, although he had not learned kickboxing or similar skills, the immense strength he had gained also improved his defensive capabilities and made him more agile.

Of course, the most crucial point was that strength played an extremely important role in actual combat. He Dong's strength was beyond the human realm. The saying "One strength can overcome ten techniques" was not just a saying.

"You are the strangest opponent I have ever seen, but no matter what, I will give it my all!" Tie Jun said seriously, looking at He Dong.

"Come on! I'm getting impatient!" He Dong replied more casually.

"Ah!" Finally, after both sides were ready, Tie Jun let out a loud cry and suddenly kicked at He Dong with a side kick.

"So fast!" He Dong felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes and instinctively raised his hand to block it.

"Bang!" Tie Jun's kick was not only fast but also powerful, colliding directly with He Dong's arm. However, it was clear that He Dong was stronger. Although his block was somewhat hasty, his arm did not budge at all upon impact.

"Hmm?" Tie Jun's kick was a test. He Dong's movements were very stiff, not at all like those of a kickboxing expert, but the immense strength He Dong displayed immediately put Tie Jun on alert.

"I wonder if the 'Piercing Illusion Eye' will work this time!" Tie Jun's speed also made He Dong frown slightly, but he did not become timid. Instead, he started thinking of ways to counter.

As He Dong's gaze focused, Tie Jun charged again. This time, his movements seemed to slow down significantly in He Dong's eyes, though not as slow as in a movie, it was enough for He Dong to react.

"Hmm?" This time, He Dong did not block but instead turned his body to dodge Tie Jun's attack, which immediately made Tie Jun even more suspicious.

"Come on! Keep going!" The 'Piercing Illusion Eye' had been further developed, which delighted He Dong. He excitedly issued a challenge to Tie Jun.

"Alright!" Tie Jun was also thoroughly roused by He Dong and launched a frenzied attack.

Instantly, Tie Jun's punches and kicks rained down on He Dong like a storm, and He Dong dodged and weaved, like a small boat in a violent storm, struggling to keep up.

As the fight in the ring became more intense, the audience's emotions were also stirred up. Cheers and screams rose and fell, quickly turning into chaos.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Oh, why isn't he counterattacking?" Wang Xuewu stood below the ring, extremely agitated, waving his hands and muttering.

"My brother is the best! The best! Brother, come on! Beat him!" He Xi stared intently at the fight, fists clenched, sweat streaming down his forehead, and muttered softly.

In contrast to Wang Xuewu and He Xi, Zhou Fu'an and the others, who were also laymen in kickboxing, were enjoying the spectacle. In their eyes, Tie Jun was dominating He Dong. The more intense the fight, the more excited they became. Especially when they saw Tie Jun almost hitting He Dong, they would scream in excitement.

"Beat him! Beat him to death!"

"Kick him! Kick hard!"

Neither side noticed that Chu Xi, who had been acting as the mediator, was watching the intense fight with a deep, thoughtful look in her eyes.

"Fangfang, what do you think of them?" A young girl was always by Chu Xi's side. From the way the girl had dealt with the clown earlier, it was clear she was a bodyguard. However, when Chu Xi spoke to her, her tone was natural and warm.

"Tie Jun's attacks are very sharp, and his strength is sufficient. He is indeed a veteran of the special forces, and although he is not at the top level, his strength can definitely rank in the top hundred among all veterans in the country!" Fangfang said honestly.

"What about He Dong?" Chu Xi asked, looking at He Dong with a meaningful gaze.

"He Dong is very strange. From his movements, it's clear he is a layman who has never learned any martial arts. However, his body is very agile, and his reactions are very quick. Most importantly, his strength can match Tie Jun's. If he receives some training, he will definitely become an expert in a short time!" Fangfang analyzed.

"En!" Chu Xi nodded in agreement with Fangfang's analysis and added, "He Dong's learning ability is also very strong. Did you notice that from the initial chaos and struggle, he is now handling Tie Jun's attacks with ease? Although he hasn't launched an attack yet, I think it won't be long before he does!"

As if to verify Chu Xi's words, just as she finished speaking, the situation in the ring began to change.
