Chapter 299 - preliminaries

"Err …"

Listening to his big brother Xiao Yi's long story, Li Qi immediately learnt to be well-behaved and shut his mouth. Quietly accompanying Xiao Yi, the group of people did not speak anymore, and slowly proceeded deeper into the majestic boxing ring.

They entered the designated room and carried out the first round of the underground boxing ring.

The rules of the first selection were very simple. The opposing boxer would use his full strength to blast out a punch at the contestant. The contestant could extend his fist to block. As long as he blocked the punch, he would be considered qualified to take no more than three steps back.

However, that burly boxer was tall and strong. His whole body was covered with muscles. The raised fist looked like a small mountain of flesh. With a cold expression, one could tell that he was an experienced fighter who had spent most of his time practicing martial arts. Moreover, his entire body was emitting an imposing aura. From time to time, their gazes would sweep over the densely packed initial contestants. A bright light flashed within his eyes.

The room was bustling with noise and noise. The contestants were all eager to give it a try. Occasionally, he would whisper to the people accompanying him.

There were countless of rooms like this for the preliminary competition. All the participants who participated in the tournament had to pass the first round in accordance to the rules of the boxing ring.

Xiao Yi brought along Li Qi's group of four, and quietly stood in the middle of the room for the first selection. Then, he watched the other contestants' preliminaries.

"Next, Qi Shiyong." That staff member stretched his throat as he yelled out the name of the next contestant, as if he was peddling.

Following which, a little fatty with a flat head leaped to the opposite side of the boxer. He rubbed his hands together, and a blazing light began to shine in his eyes. After all, if he wanted to receive such a high reward, he had to have a reputation too. In that case, he had to pass the preliminaries unscathed. Moreover, he had to preserve some of his strength. Tonight could be said to be a tug-of-war of dragons and tigers.

Experts wouldn't be willing to waste too much energy in this round of preliminaries.

"Are you ready?" The boxer swept his gaze toward Qi Shiyong, and then asked coldly.

"Alright." The little fatty Qi Shiyong bellowed as he sunk his Qi into his Dantian. His entire body tensed up at once.

Seeing that Qi Shiyong was ready, the Striker did not hesitate anymore. He raised his fist and rushed towards Qi Shiyong's chest like a rocket.

His punch was steady, swift and powerful. A sound of breaking air resounded in the air.

Qi Shiyong quickly shouted, and quickly extended his fist, blocking in front of his chest. His entire body didn't move like a rock. It could be said that he was emitting an imposing aura.

With a boom, the fist of the Fighter finally clashed with Qi Shiyong's punch.

The boxer's face remained impassive as he turned away. It was as if the outcome was within his control. His entire person seemed like a machine. He punched out before retracting his fist. He then retracted his fist.

To a fighting master like the boxing ring, they were all hired by the new high school of the boxing ring. They all had several decades of foundation and extraordinary skills.

The boxer threw out a punch, but retracted it mechanically. As for Qi Shiyong, he staggered a few steps backwards.

Tap, tap, tap. Three steps in a row. Qi Shiyong shouted and used all his strength to push himself down, channeling all his strength into his legs. He hoped that this would be able to stabilize his retreating body.

After all, if he took another step forwards, he would be eliminated from the preliminaries.

Even though Qi Shiyong's face was flushed red, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead. He used all of his abilities in order to stabilize his retreating body. Unfortunately, his body was still forced back three steps before he managed to stabilize himself.

It was obvious that the boxer's punch was full of ferocity. This Qi Shiyong used all of his abilities, but he was still unable to block this attack.

"Next, Xiao Yi." The staff next to the boxer shouted once again.

However, they did not wait for Xiao Yi to go up on stage. In the room, there was a wave of whispers.

"Sigh, looks like the selection criteria for this year's preliminary competition has risen again." Last year, Qi Shiyong and I split up into a primary stage, and last year he passed through the preliminary contest. But this year, he took six steps back. Last year, he only took three steps back.

"Yeah, the preliminary competition is getting stricter and stricter every year. It looks like this year's Hegemonical Competition will be even more intense. "

"Today, only two people have passed the preliminaries in our room. The other two retreated three steps before receiving the punch. I wonder if the other places in the elimination stage are as strict as us. "

"Yi, that kid is a stranger." He was so thin and did not have much muscle on his body. In my opinion, this trip of that kid has been a waste. I guess he'll be blown away like a kite with a broken string. "

"Ten meters, I guess."

"Twenty meters, I guess."

"Twenty-five meters, I guess."

Within this room, a group of people with good intentions were all guessing how far Xiao Yi would retreat in a while. After all, from Xiao Yi's physique, he indeed didn't seem like a boxer with great strength. Moreover, none of these people had missed an underground fight for hegemony. Therefore, they could not tell that Xiao Yi was a stranger.

For strangers to participate in this sort of competition, the chances were never high. Everyone had been attacked time and time again, and in the end, they had become outstanding figures within the boxing ring.

Xiao Yi slowly walked to the opposite of the boxing ring Striker, with a lazy look. His face was expressionless, and he looked much more relaxed than the boxing ring boxer.

"Are you ready?" Seeing that this kid didn't seem to care at all, the boxer continued to ask angrily.

However, compared to the previous contestants, this question revealed a hint of impatience. After all, as the fighting master of the boxing ring in this room, he was the only one who looked down on the participants.

Now, this young fool was looking down on him.

Hearing this boxer's angry words, all the other competitors in the room instantly looked towards Xiao Yi with sympathetic looks. Some people couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If he angered the boxing ring's Boxer, then the Boxer would be even more ferocious and unreserved. Then, in their hearts, they believed that Xiao Yi would not be able to fly more than a dozen meters away. He flew out of the room.

"Wait."

Hearing the boxer's question, Xiao Yi did not reply immediately. Instead, he said "wait" for the first time in a while. Then, under the gazes of everyone present, Xiao Yi actually shook his neck, twisted his butt, and even raised his leg a few times.

This scene caused the entire audience to burst into laughter.

Xiao Yi's actions were like waking up in the morning to do morning exercises. It didn't look professional at all. The other boxer's face turned ashen.

The boxer gritted his teeth, his teeth clattering.

This time, the boxer was truly angry.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. Everyone looked at Xiao Yi as they silently shook their heads, then let out a long sigh and gave him one word: courting death.

"Alright, let's play." Xiao Yi looked at the furious Striker and laughed.

However, the word "play" was like a fuse. This caused the boxer's face to darken as a sinister light flashed in his eyes. Xiao Yi was looking down on the dignity of the entire audience, and the dignity of the Fighter.

Moreover, the word Xiao Yi could be said to have angered him. Everyone used every means at their disposal to come to the room and painstakingly participate in the selection. Falling into Xiao Yi's mouth, was like playing a child's game, and was just for fun.

Boom.

At this moment, the boxer didn't say another word. He raised his own big fist and punched towards Xiao Yi's face.

This punch was as fast as lightning and as swift as a tiger or a gale.

It could be said that it was a fierce and powerful attack. Everyone could see that this boxer was throwing a punch this time. Both in terms of strength and speed, it was the fastest and strongest time of the night.

"He actually used his full strength..."

Upon seeing the power of this Striker, all of them immediately covered their mouths and muttered in surprise.

During the preliminaries, the Striker would only use a bit of his strength to conserve most of his strength. However, this time, for the first time ever, he used his full strength.

Xiao Yi yawned lazily as he faced such a ferocious punch. Then, he slowly extended his fist towards the door, blocking the boxer's menacing punch.

According to Xiao Yi's sluggish speed, and his relaxed appearance, No matter how he looked at it, Xiao Yi was unable to withstand this ferocious punch.

However, just as the fist was about to hit Xiao Yi in the face. Xiao Yi's fist, unexpectedly blocked the fierce fist of the Fighter like a ghost.

Boom.

After a dull thud, the Fighter's fist finally struck Xiao Yi's fist.

The other competitors in the crowd all closed their eyes. It was as if he could not bear to see Xiao Yi fly out of the room. This was too cruel. These people had the heart to continue watching.

But, just as everyone was waiting for Xiao Yi's body to fall onto the ground with a clang.

In this room, Xiao Yi's lazy voice resounded: "We're finished, not funny at all. Remember, my name is Xiao Yi. Don't look at how thin I am. My whole body is muscled. I am Xiao Yi, I will speak for myself. "

After hearing this, everyone abruptly opened their eyes. Looking up, Xiao Yi stood still as a rock. The boxer, on the other hand, was sent flying from the impact.
