Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Tu Shan flew up entirely
On the fighting stage.
At this moment, the top right corner of the large screen has stopped calculating the support and odds for the Red and Blue Teams.
A glance shows that the Red Team’s support rate is about 99%, while the Blue Team’s only 1%.
A world of difference.
That is to say, 99% of the people at the venue placed their bets on Tu Shan. The remaining 1% probably are either seeking thrills or gambling for a massive win with a small bet.
The support rates of the two sides show a near cliff-like disparity, which also resulted in the odds of this match far exceeding the highest record of previous matches.
From the odds, if the girl on the stage really wins in the end, that 1% who bet on her could win millions with tens of thousands, or even tens of millions with millions.
But to most people, this match seems like a joke, or rather, the girl is purely going to her death.
Few in the audience think the girl will win, the outcome is clear, no one would gamble money away for nothing.
Only the man in the VIP viewing room tilted his head.
He stared intently at the girl on the screen, the curve of his lips deepening.
"Ning, how much did you bet?" Hu San took a deep breath and asked Ning Yu.
"Not much, five million," Ning Yu replied calmly.
"Five million is not much??" Hu San’s eyes widened.
Five million indeed isn’t much for the wealthy.
But in Hu San’s view, betting this five million on the girl is no different from burning the money directly.
Burning all that money could last half a day, but the girl on stage probably wouldn’t last even a minute.
Hu San isn’t actually well acquainted with the man beside him.
He doesn’t even know the man’s full name, just knows his surname is Ning, and like himself, they both deal in the Black Market.
But since they are both mixed up in the underworld and in businesses that shun the light, a title is enough. No one would chase after each other’s identities or real names.
Meeting tonight at the underground fighting arena was also a coincidence.
Hu San warmly invited the man to his booked VIP viewing room to watch the match together, and was surprised when the man said he had found someone to fight Tu Shan today.
Tu Shan is a seasoned fighter signed by THE DEEP with a steep fee, having never lost since his first match. Moreover, he is exceptionally fierce; his opponents are either dead or maimed after a match.
Thus, he was very curious about what sort of person this mysterious Ning would bring to fight Tu Shan. But upon seeing the frail girl entering the stage, he was stunned.
He had thought of betting along with the man, but seeing the situation, he quickly placed his bet on Tu Shan to win.
Bringing a little girl to fight, and betting five million on top of that, he wondered what was going on in Ning’s mind.
Burning money shouldn’t be done this way.
—
"Or, you might as well just surrender."
"Such a fair little face and slender arms and legs, it would be a shame if they get bloodied or maimed."
On the stage, Tu Shan looked over Lu Sheng with his arms as thick as Lu Sheng’s thighs, his tone undisguisedly disdainful.
Even out of mischief, his gaze lingered deliberately on Lu Sheng’s thighs and chest for a few seconds, causing the crowd to boo and scream along.
The girl stood on the stage, motionless from start to finish. Although her face was unclear, her voice was calm.
"Why should I surrender."
Her voice was cool and clear.
The arena is equipped with loudspeakers, to let the fighters’ shouts and breaths during the brawl be heard by everyone, stirring up the primitive excitement and passion of the spectators.
So at this moment, the girl’s words were clearly heard by everyone.
The girl looked up at the man nearly twice her size, her tone slightly mocking.
"The fight hasn’t started yet, how do you know that the loser will definitely be me?"
"Eh—"
A burst of laughter shook the entire venue.
Tu Shan seemed to have heard the funniest joke of the year, and he burst into laughter on the stage: "Hahaha, kid, you can’t possibly think you can win against me, can you?"
Over the years, Tu Shan had seen many fighters who were arrogant and wild before the fight, thinking they could defeat him.
But at least others possessed the capital to compete with him. This frail kid, whose bones he could break with just a few fingers, where did he get the confidence to say such things?
"Kid, I gave you a chance. If you seek death, then there’s nothing I can do."
"Don’t even talk about the final result. If you can last a minute on the stage after the whistle, then I’ll consider it my loss!"
His eyes and tone were full of provocation.
The audience below the stage was also overly excited, but they weren’t anticipating seeing who would win later; instead, they started betting on how many seconds the girl could last under Tu Shan.
"Is that so."
The girl barely tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"Then I’ll return these words to you," Lu Sheng raised her eyes, "If you can last a minute on the stage after the whistle, then I consider it my loss."
The bold have been seen, but never anyone as audacious as this.
No one had ever dared to speak such words to Tu Shan on this boxing stage!
The girl’s demeanor and words directly infuriated Tu Shan and ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue.
The phase of exchanging fierce words ended, and the referee immediately blew the whistle to start the match.
The moment the whistle sounded, Tu Shan’s eyes turned fiercely like a wild beast unleashed.
He tilted his head back and let out a thunderous roar before throwing a heavy punch towards Lu Sheng.
A brute like a small mountain, his muscles swelled up all over. A walking human bomb, his presence alone could make one’s legs go weak.
This punch could kill someone!
If this punch landed on the head, it probably would splash the girl’s brain matter out!
Just the thought of it made the scene seem too cruel.
Many people instinctively turned their heads away, unable to bear witnessing the scene on the stage.
Everyone thought Tu Shan’s punch would directly KO the girl.
Tu Shan thought so too.
However, the next second, he saw the girl in front of him move extremely quickly.
So fast that she seemed to leave afterimages, dodging his strike by tilting her head, then dashing behind him took less than half a second.
Tu Shan hadn’t even had the time to react or retract his fist when he felt as if a thousand-pound weight slammed into his lower back.
Lu Sheng swiftly moved behind Tu Shan and kicked, targeting the gorilla-like man in front of her.
The next second, Tu Shan was sent flying.
Yes, literally flying.
The rugged, nearly two-meter-tall beast flew over the rough rattan barriers, kicked off the stage, and even rolled three times before coming to a stop.
What was more outrageous was that the girl seemed to have calculated the force perfectly according to the distance. If she had used more force, Tu Shan might have been kicked into the nearest spectator area, potentially killing someone on the spot.
The air seemed to freeze.
All the spectators stood still, mouths agape.
This underground boxing ring, which erupted in adrenaline-fueled screams and twists every night, experienced its first total silence since its establishment.
The girl on the stage stood upright, as if nothing had happened. She glanced at the time on the screen and then looked towards Tu Shan in the distance.
"Five seconds."
The girl spoke softly, uttering just two words. But everyone in the audience knew what she meant.
Tu Shan couldn’t even last a minute on the stage, managing only five seconds, which included the time of his own attack.
This was incredibly damaging and highly insulting.
