Chapter 256: 0254 ’Lone Wolf’ Liu Hu

Liu Hu!

Ye Qiu had never imagined that the Lone Wolf was none other than Liu Hu. How had he become a boxer in the underground fighting ring?

Ye Qiu remembered the day he returned to the martial arts club and had sensed that wild aura on Liu Hu. No wonder Liu Hu’s presence felt so imposing then. As it turned out, he was fighting in illegal matches here.

Liu Hu hadn’t noticed Ye Qiu beneath the stage; once he stepped onto the ring, his focus was solely on his opponent. Everyone else around was like air to him at that moment.

"So, he is the Lone Wolf. What do you think? Can he knock his opponent down?" Huo Qian asked with a smile.

"Eh, why do you look like that, do you know him or something?" Huo Qian noticed that something was off with Ye Qiu’s expression, almost as if he was looking at Liu Hu like they were old acquaintances.

"Hehe, you’ll know once he finishes this match," Ye Qiu said with a chuckle, giving Huo Qian a bit of a mystery.

Huo Qian was used to Ye Qiu keeping him in suspense. Ever since their stone cutting days, he knew that whenever Ye Qiu said such things, he had his reasons, although Huo Qian couldn’t figure out how Ye Qiu could have any connection with the Lone Wolf.

If Ye Qiu told Huo Qian that Liu Hu, the Lone Wolf, was actually a university student, he’d probably be even more surprised and would understand what Ye Qiu meant.

Liu Hu and his opponent were warming up before the fight, stretching and loosening their muscles. Meanwhile, many in the crowd were placing their bets on their favored fighters, wagering quite a sum of money. Then they stood around the ring, cheering for the fighter they had bet on.

Ye Qiu glanced at the betting situation. The stakes on this round of fighting were at least three million in size. Subtracting the money to be paid out to those who won their bets, the underground fighting venue earned at least one hundred thousand from this one fight.

Huo Qian said a fight was fast, lasting only ten minutes. Thus, in one night, the venue could bring in at least a million in revenue.

No wonder it was so bustling every day; it was sheer profiteering.

The speed of making money here made even Ye Qiu consider the thought of opening his own underground fighting venue.

"Huo Qian, do you know who the backer of this fighting venue is?" Ye Qiu asked.

Huo Qian looked at Ye Qiu skeptically, uncertain why he was asking that, but he shared what he knew nonetheless, "I’m not really sure, I only know that the venue is controlled by the young man who set up the betting earlier. As for the real owner, I’ve never seen him."

Ye Qiu nodded, his eyes thoughtful. An image of Meng Chong came to mind, and he thought, "Could Meng Chong be the backer of this underground fighting venue?"

He recalled their previous conversation; if Ye Qiu ever visited the underground fighting venue, he could mention the Boss Meng.

After thinking it over, he decided not to look for Meng Chong just yet; after all, he was just here to look around.

Five minutes later, Liu Hu and Ba Song had both finished warming up and slowly made their way to the center of the ring from opposite corners.

Clang...

A bell sounded, and the fight began.

Instantly, two figures intertwined in combat.

Liu Hu’s skills had greatly improved, especially clear to Ye Qiu, who had known Liu Hu’s capabilities for a long time. The extent of Liu Hu’s progress was monumental.

At this moment, Liu Hu was not only faster, more accurate, and more ruthless, but his reaction time had also significantly increased.

Ye Qiu watched Liu Hu’s movements with half-closed eyes, nodding in approval internally. The improvement of his strength was indeed impressive.

Liu Hu landed a hook on his opponent’s abdomen, then immediately followed it with a kick, sending Ba Song crashing into the fence. The crowd around the ring erupted in cheers.

"Haha, well done! I knew my bet was right," Huo Qian joined in the crowd’s excitement, feeling vindicated about his gamble.

Ba Song sat on the ground for a long while before getting up. He stood hunched over, his gaze cold and fixed on Liu Hu from across the ring.

From Ba Song’s expression, Ye Qiu could tell that he wasn’t discouraged. On the contrary, Ye Qiu felt that Ba Song was becoming more formidable by the moment.

Ba Song tightened the white band wrapped around his arm, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and moved his feet left and right, a typical guerilla fighting style.

Ye Qiu knew that Liu Hu was about to face a tough battle.

Just when Liu Hu thought he had ended the fight with one strike, his opponent unexpectedly stood up as if nothing had happened.

Was this guy from Thailand really that tough to beat?

As soon as Liu Hu’s thought crossed his mind, Ba Song launched an attack first, leaping directly at Liu Hu and fiercely targeting his chest with his knee.

Liu Hu’s heart skipped a beat, not expecting his opponent to suddenly become so aggressive. He kept his hands crossed in front, only to feel a crack in his arm caused by the opponent’s knee, which made his entire arm go limp.

This is bad.

Liu Hu’s face changed color. He had intended to protect his chest, but the battlefield suddenly shifted. His arm was terribly hurt from the impact, and if he suffered the same attack again, he might completely lose the use of his arm.

With his concerns mounting, Liu Hu’s movements became restrained. On the ring, he was mostly on the defensive. In contrast, Ba Song’s fighting spirit erupted, attacking Liu Hu with various moves. After a few moves, Liu Hu was almost knocked down, his face turning red and purple.

Such a tough opponent.

Liu Hu realized that his opponent knew his concerns and specifically targeted his arm for attacks, exploiting Liu Hu’s weakness to achieve Ba Song’s goal. Liu Hu became much more passive.

Some people who had placed their bets on Liu Hu, initially excited, turned to rail and scold him. Some even went behind Liu Hu, cursing by the fence as if Liu Hu had stolen their money.

While listening to others’ dissatisfaction and fearing repeated attacks on his arm, Liu Hu became extremely cautious.

Seeing this scene, with Liu Hu defensively reacting and his counterattacks often missing, the outcome could be guessed—Ba Song would likely win.

Watching Liu Hu still persisting, some people were cheering him on, while others yelled for him to hurry up and get down.

All sorts of laudatory and unflattering words filled Liu Hu’s ears.

"Ah, it looks like I bet wrongly today. I didn’t expect my favored guy to lose," Huo Qian said with a wry smile, as the situation on the ring was almost conclusive. Unless Liu Hu could knock his opponent down with one punch, the chances of turning the battle were slim.

"Don’t worry, he won’t lose. The last man standing will definitely be him," Ye Qiu said slowly.

Huo Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you so confident? Perhaps the lone wolf still hasn’t shown his ultimate move?"

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Huo Qian’s interest surged.

However, he also knew that asking Ye Qiu would yield no further insight, so he turned his attention back to the ring.

Liu Hu was still on the receiving end of the beating, unable to counterattack, just when even Ba Song thought the final blow was sufficient to defeat Liu Hu.

Suddenly, regardless of the injury to his arm, Liu Hu unleashed his full strength.

A lone wolf finally revealed his fangs, as Ba Song had pushed Liu Hu, this starving wolf, to his limit.

A whirlwind of attacks spun at the center of the ring, and after a dazzling assault, Liu Hu slowly stepped down from the ring while Ba Song, who everyone thought had won as Liu Hu appeared to concede, suddenly collapsed with a thud. It turned out that the ultimate victor was indeed the lone wolf.

Liu Hu walked up to Ye Qiu, and they both smiled.

"I’ll catch up to you soon," Liu Hu said. At this moment, he exuded an overwhelming presence, perhaps the most charismatic he had ever been in his life.

"You know each other?" Huo Qian asked, startled.

The surrounding people also cast curious glances, attentively listening to Liu Hu’s statement, wondering why he would want to catch up to this young man who was even shorter than him.

Could this person also be a skilled boxer?
