Chapter 5 Qualifications
At that time, there were only two types of arenas in the Kowloon Walled City, one was Kung Fu Arena and the other was Life and Death Arena.
A Kung Fu ring refers to a ring where the two sides mainly compete for each other's Kung Fu. Most of the contestants are representatives of martial arts gyms, in order to expand the reputation of their own martial arts gyms.
As the name suggests, the life and death competition involves life and death on the stage. Those who participate in this competition are all in a situation where they have deep grievances and will not end until death. Most of them are people from outside who come to the walled city to seek revenge.
Kowloon Walled City is a famous refuge. There are countless criminals from all over Southeast Asia who have fled here. The enemies of these criminals either personally or through the Walled City Committee force each other to participate in the life-and-death contest. The absconding criminals either die in the ring or win.
Then you can officially become a part of the Walled City.
Whether it is a Kung Fu fight or a life and death fight, both parties rely on the money paid by the fight. This money is not available every day, and the boxers in the ring live in a very tight life, not much better than the average person.
In the past ten years, many people have quit this industry and have left the city to open martial arts gyms, work as bodyguards, and make more money than being a boxer no matter what they do.
Nowadays, those who can stay and continue to stand in the ring are the old guys who do not know how to adapt to the past and will be eliminated sooner or later.
Longjin Road.
After the walls of the original walled city were demolished, the residents built buildings on both sides of the original city foundation. The road formed in the middle of the buildings is the famous street of horses, gambling stalls, fan stalls, as well as some mahjong parlors and Pai Gow.
stall, dog meat shop.
The arena of the Walled City is located in the two-story building at the intersection of this street and Dajing Street. It has five or six floors and an area of 10,000 square feet. There are two arenas, one in the north and one in the south of the town.
"Hey, go away, outsiders are not allowed to come in and out here!"
In front of the two-story building, a few bad guys sitting at the door playing cards looked at Zhang Jin who was approaching, and their tone was extremely impatient.
Zhang Jin took out the recommendation note and said: "Excuse me, brothers, I want to meet the talkative person in the ring."
One of the bad guys took the recommendation letter, looked through it, and looked at him curiously: "Are you Laogui Ye's apprentice?"
"I've learned boxing, but I'm not considered an apprentice. Master Ye confiscated it from me." Zhang Jin told the truth. It would be easy for the other party to investigate, and he didn't want to affect the other party's impression on this trivial matter.
"Oh. Okay, come with me."
Zhang Jin followed the bad guy into the two-story building. Compared with other places in the walled city, the environment of this building was much cleaner. Because there was no elevator, they could only take the stairs and walk upstairs.
A few minutes later, the two came to the stairs on the fourth floor.
"What's up?"
"Brother Hao, this man came with a message from Old Ghost Ye, saying he wanted to see you."
The young man known as Brother Hao took the recommendation letter and looked at Zhang Jin: "Come to compete in Kung Fu?"
In the life and death competition, no introduction is required, just pay money and you can go on stage.
"I'm not here to fight, I'm here to discuss business with you." Zhang Jin said while sizing up the young man.
If Uncle Gen's information is correct, this person is Luo Hao, Lai Luo's son and the successor of Tongbei Quan.
"Business talk? Then you have found the wrong person, please come back." Brother Hao threw the recommendation post back on the table.
Zhang Jin did not go to get the recommendation letter: "Brother Hao, right? It seems that you are not the one who is involved in the ring. Could you please let me meet Master Luo?"
"What qualifications do you have to see him?"
"What does it take to be qualified?"
"In the ring, of course it's a competition of kung fu. If you beat me, I'll take you to see him."
"OK."
"Refreshing!" Luo Hao grinned, and when he was worried that he was too bored, fun came to his door.
Nothing happened today, the arena was empty except for a few young people practicing boxing on the sidelines.
Zhang Jin looked at each one and saw that they were all Lai Luo's disciples.
"Elder brother!" Several people greeted Luo Hao one after another.
Luo Hao waved his hand, turned over to the ring, and then hooked his fingers towards Zhang Jin: "Come up."
A lame Luo disciple asked the gatekeeper: "Hey, are they beating or fighting?"
The bad boy replied: "This bad boy took the recommendation letter from Mr. Ye and said he wanted to meet Master Luo to discuss business. Brother Hao will let him win before he can talk about it."
"Wow, can this bad guy do it? He doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner. He won't be punched to the ground by the senior brother, right?"
"Come on, come on, let's start the betting. Let's bet on how many punches this bad boy can withstand the senior brother. The higher the number of punches, the higher the odds. Wow, you guys all buy one punch. The dealer is so angry with you. What else can you do?
Can’t play?”
On the arena.
Luo Hao said beside him: "Old ghost Ye has only taught Wang Weimin in so many years, but unfortunately he was expelled from the school because of his mixed prefix. Ye old ghost is willing to give you the recommendation letter, which shows that you have some ability and use all your strength to let me
Let’s see. Maybe when I’m happy, I’ll let you meet my dad even if you can’t win.”
After saying that, he squatted down and took a stance, raising his right knee, raised his right hand, bent his arm and wrapped the front finger of his elbow, raised his left hand and bent his arm, covering the middle of the inner side of his right forearm, making a face-to-face gesture.
"Tongbei Quan, Luo Hao, please give me some advice!"
"Zhang Jin has no family or sect."
"This fight will end at the end of the day."
"please!"
Luo Hao looked serious. He took a step with his left foot and punched out with his left palm. If he encountered a punch from the enemy, he would move his left palm forward and upward, roll it outward, and turn it into a palm to attract the enemy. His right palm turned into a fist and punched from the heart.
Strike forward, punch hard, and use the Kuixing point fighting technique.
Zhang Jin knew nothing about martial arts and couldn't see any changes in it, but he knew that with his physical fitness, as long as he didn't hit the vital point, the opponent's punch would not cause much harm to him, but if he hit the opponent with his own punch, the opponent would be
Gotta get down.
Facing Luo Hao's attack, he dodged sideways and punched straight at the same time!
In Luo Hao's eyes, this punch was ordinary and had no subsequent changes at all. He was better because he was fast enough, but he was least afraid of fast punches. He could dodge even the fastest punches without any changes.
Bang! Bang!
Both sides punched each other.
Zhang Jin stood still, but Luo Hao stumbled and took several steps back. He accidentally stepped on the air and fell directly off the ring.
Everyone in the audience who was originally talking and laughing was dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief!
"Now, do you think I'm qualified?" Zhang Jin asked condescendingly, standing beside the ring.
Luo Hao covered his left shoulder, gritted his teeth and propped himself up, raised his head and said, "What kind of boxing is this? I have never seen such a rapid change."
"It's not a boxing technique, it's just a little more strength."
"Did you still have energy at the beginning?" Luo Hao's face looked a little ugly.
"That's what you said, keep it up. I don't want you to get hurt, otherwise it will cause too much embarrassment and no business can be discussed." Zhang Jin clapped his hands. He didn't really practice boxing at Ye Laogui's place this month.
Instead, learn to control your strength so as not to accidentally hurt someone.
"Brother Hao!"
"Are you okay?"
"Surround him!" The junior brothers who reacted quickly ran over and shouted.
Luo Hao raised his hand to stop them, stood up and said to Zhang Jin: "Come again! I underestimated you just now, I won't do it again this time!"
"You can't beat me." Zhang Jin jumped off the ring and came to the sandbag next to him.
Luo Hao and everyone turned to look at him, with puzzled expressions on their faces, wondering what he was going to do.
"You won't be able to withstand my punch." After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he punched the sandbag with all his strength.
The heavy sandbag was hit high back by the force of his punch, and hit the ceiling with a dull collision sound in front of everyone's horrified eyes!
