Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 217: Chapter 199: The Ancestor’s Arrival (Part 2)

Whether to challenge or not, it’s up to you.

After all, an underground boxing champion can often remain unbeaten for several years, even over a decade.

During this period, an underground champion will kill or disable dozens of top fighters who come to challenge, until one day he either retires or is killed by a new generation champion.

But even underground champions can’t match the appearance fees of real professional champions, which generally range from one to three million.

Real professional champions sometimes have appearance fees reaching tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of US Dollars.

For example, the century fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao.

Their combined appearance fees amounted to 280 million US Dollars.

Among them, Mayweather’s appearance fee was 180 million US Dollars.

Pacquiao’s was 100 million US Dollars.

Appearance fees for underground boxing matches are incomparable to those of professional bouts.

Therefore, the story about Bruce Lee using the alias Tang Long to fight in underground boxing matches and winning 88 million US Dollars in prize money can basically be confirmed as false.

Simply put, I need to win twenty consecutive matches to qualify to challenge the Ring Champion.

After listening, Lu Li pondered and said to Johnny Smith, ”If you trust my abilities, I suggest you bet on me to take the championship, with however much money you have.”

Bet on you to win the championship?

Use all the money?

Johnny Smith chuckled to himself, thinking if you don’t get beaten to death, you’re already doing well, let alone winning the championship?

He didn’t take Lu Li’s words seriously at all.

At this moment, Lu Li looked at Zhang Guocheng, Xiaolin, and Old Wu, ”You guys can also bet a little.”

Zhang Guocheng hesitated and said, ”Isn’t it inappropriate? Not in line with our rules.”

Lu Li blinked and said, ”If you place a cash bet here, who would know?”

Zhang Guocheng thought about it and agreed, ”Alright, then we’ll each bet ten thousand US Dollars on you to win the championship.”

After speaking, Zhang Guocheng took out thirty thousand US Dollars from his bag and asked Xiaolin to find the short white guy to place the bet.

Johnny Smith didn’t expect Zhang Guocheng, Xiaolin, and Old Wu to actually dare bet on Lu Li winning the championship tonight. He kept shaking his head, thinking they were dreaming.

...

They arrived at the backstage lounge.

There were a lot of fighters here.

Some came with medical teams.

Some fighters were alone.

At a glance, there were about forty or fifty fighters.

As for the champion with the highest odds of winning tonight, Louis, he wasn’t here.

It’s said that as the current champion, he has his own private lounge.

Lu Li didn’t mind and just found a corner to sit down in.

Zhang Guocheng, Xiaolin, and Old Wu sat beside Lu Li.

Lu Li closed his eyes to activate his superpower, checking the outside to see if the target had arrived.

At first, there were few people outside.

But as time went by, more and more people came in.

Virtually everyone who came here, regardless of gender, was dressed elegantly and obviously wealthy.

However, Lu Li still didn’t see Jin Zhouzhou.

But around 6:50 in the evening, as the match approached, he used his superpower to see Julia Giannini with two white beauties on her sides, heading directly to a second-floor box with the support of a dozen men.

Seeing this, Lu Li was a bit speechless and thought to himself, ”This woman really knows how to enjoy herself, bringing two beauties.”

He didn’t care about Julia Giannini’s actions, planning to release high-level life pheromones on her later during the match.

Seven o’clock came quickly.

The outside was already full of people.

Just in the hall alone, there were two to three thousand spectators.

There were probably over a hundred people in the boxed seats.

At this moment, the audience outside was relatively calm.

Each was chatting away or drinking.

Appearing very poised, without any noise.

Suddenly, the lounge door opened.

A staff member with a list called out, ”Windfire Wheel, Black Bull, it’s your turn to fight.”

Two strong men, one black and one white, about two meters tall stood up, took off their outer shirts, and followed the staff outside.

The next moment, the previously quiet outside erupted with mountainous roars, accompanied by cheers and whistles.

Lu Li, using his superpower, could see that as soon as the fighters entered the ring, almost everyone in the venue was loudly placing bets.

For example, Julia Giannini was goaded by a red-haired beauty beside her to bet ten thousand US Dollars on ”Black Bull” to win.

After placing the bet, the casino gave her ten green chips.

The same went for the other spectators outside.

However, those betting on ”Windfire Wheel” received red chips.

The spectators with chips divided into two groups, standing behind the fighters they supported.

The number of supporters for both sides was roughly equal.

At this time, the music in the venue became more intense and piercing.

The audience was extremely excited, starting to shout excitedly phrases like ”Black Bull, kick him to death!” and ”Windfire Wheel, beat him to death!”

A few minutes later, the match officially began.

The two fighters cautiously approached their opponents, moving with agile and quick footwork.

The spectators below the ring were as if they’d taken stimulants, their faces either red or white.

Some spectators were shivering without stopping, silently.

Several women were frantically chewing gum at astonishing speeds.

Suddenly, the music was cut off, making the scene very quiet.

Just three breaths after the music stopped, both fighters almost simultaneously launched attacks.

The crisp snapping sounds of feet against each other made everyone shiver.

The thumping sound of fists hitting bodies came with the fighters’ low groans.
