Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

And he is Xu Xingguang’s target tonight—

Li Yucheng.

Li Yucheng was involved in criminal activities in his early years. Later, the boss he relied on died, so he used his skills to make money in the Underground Beast Fighting Arena. He made a lot of money and later opened a real estate company. Now, he has become a prominent figure in Yujiang City.

Currently, Li Yucheng is both a boxer and a senior member of this Beast Fighting Arena.

In recent years, Li Yucheng has rarely come out to fight or take on jobs.

But some time ago, he invested in a project in South City with Xiahou Zuiyue and lost a large sum of money. He no longer has any liquid assets. Out of necessity, he had to return to the scene and come here to fight.

Even though he hasn’t been fighting much in these recent years, he has never neglected his training.

He is an experienced former Boxing King, confident in making a huge profit and leaving unscathed afterward.

Tonight, the reason the Beast Fighting Arena is so lively is because the members heard the news that the old Boxing King is making a comeback. They want to see if the tiger of the past is still as robust.

Noticing Xu Xingguang watching him, Li Yucheng raised an eyebrow under his mask and smiled at her. ”A little girl should be at home playing the piano and cooking. What’s it like to come out here and fight?”

Li Yucheng immediately saw through the makeup on Xu Xingguang’s face. He couldn’t discern her real appearance, but from her fair and slim waist, he could glimpse her tenderness and charm.

Li Yucheng laughed and said, ”Why not come back with Uncle, be Uncle’s canary?”

Hearing this, all the contestants in the room laughed, except for the young man standing against the wall to Xu Xingguang’s right, whose expression remained unchanged. He looked down, gazing at the ground, as if he was shielded from the world.

Despite being humiliated by Li Yucheng, Xu Xingguang wasn’t fazed at all.

She walked briskly towards Li Yucheng, stopped two meters away from him, lowered her eyes, and looked at his arrogant eyes, saying plainly, ”Tonight, I will challenge you. If I lose, becoming your canary wouldn’t be impossible.”

”But if you lose, what then?” Xu Xingguang showed a puzzled expression.

Li Yucheng was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, ”Hahaha, little girl, do you know who you’re talking to?”

Beside him, the other contestants reminded Xu Xingguang, ”Little girl, that’s the former Boxing King, who once created the legend of winning five fights in one night without a single loss!”

It was clear that these subsequent boxers admired and respected Li Yucheng greatly.

In their eyes, Li Yucheng was an insurmountable mountain, a legend of the Underground Beast Fighting Arena.

”I know you’re the Boxing King.” Xu Xingguang repeated her earlier question, asking Li Yucheng, ”You haven’t answered me yet. If you lose, what will you do?”

Realizing that Xu Xingguang was serious, the entire lounge fell silent.

But soon after, it erupted into bursts of mocking laughter.

Li Yucheng still didn’t take Xu Xingguang seriously. He looked at her like a pet, saying with great interest, ”Whatever you want, we’ll do it that way. Is that all right?”

”Sure.” Xu Xingguang flashed a bright smile and said, ”If you lose, then you jump into the Yujiang River and end it all. How about that?”

The amusement in Li Yucheng’s eyes faded a bit.

”Little girl, you’re provoking me.” Li Yucheng thought Xu Xingguang was being foolish.

Xu Xingguang wasn’t afraid nor did she explain. She turned and leaned against the wall, murmuring softly, ”I’m just reminding you that I will challenge you.”

Li Yucheng heard her.

He stood up and sneered, ”Then win two consecutive matches and survive before challenging me.”

With that, Li Yucheng went inside to rest.

Xu Xingguang leaned against the wall, confidently facing the scrutiny and mockery from the other contestants. She was about to find a chair to sit down when she suddenly heard the young man next to her say, ”He’s very strong. Be careful.”

Xu Xingguang paused.

She turned back to look at the young man.

At a glance, she was captivated by his handsome and severe face. He had a stern, unsmiling countenance, but his dark eyes had an inexplicably eerie beauty.

This made Xu Xingguang subconsciously think of Huo Wen’an.

Even though the person in front of her didn’t resemble Huo Wen’an, Xu Xingguang thought of Huo Wen’an.

Noting the cleanliness of the young man’s face, with no traces of having been beaten, Xu Xingguang asked him, ”Are you a contestant too? How many matches have you fought?”
