Chapter 295: 230. Forever Young (10,000-word update, asking for monthly tickets!)

Those who came to challenge the gym watched as the number one boxer, sprawled out like slime on a stretcher, was carried away, and they became frightened.

They could come to the gym for money, they could accept death in the Octagon cage, but they didn’t want to end up neither human nor ghost.

Qing Chen paid no attention to these, knowing that the murderous intent against him had arrived that evening, naturally, he would not show mercy.

At this moment, the audience began chanting the name Miao Qifeng, whose popularity in the Fourth District Tiger Grade was unimaginable, with even half of the spectators there for him that night.

For these spectators, there are new talents every year, but Miao Qifeng is the one who always stands unyielding in the Octagon cage.

Seeing this, the referee shouted, “Now, please welcome the last challenger of the evening, he is the Tiger Grade King of the Fourth District, he is the eight-time champion of the Tiger Grade…”

Qing Chen didn’t bother listening to the string of titles but silently observed the stands.

Among the frenzied crowd, there were still hundreds of people calmly sizing him up, all with some purpose in mind, including Kunlun Lu Yuan amongst them.

At some point, Qing Chen thought that the forces of the Kyushu and the Devil’s Stamp holders must have blended in as well.

He imprinted the faces of these hundreds of people in his mind, quietly awaiting the future.

At that moment, Lin Xiaoxiao, Ye Wan, and Li Dongze, all in disguise, whispered among themselves in the crowd.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the lackluster Li Dongze and said, “Weren’t people planning to attack the Heng Society? How can you still be in the mood to watch the boxing? I heard from Mother Ye that this time there’s even a consortium backing the attack against you.”

Li Dongze coldly responded, “As long as the consortium does not step forward, those chickens and dogs are not worth worrying about. I’m just here to see what someone stronger than me looks like.”

Lin Xiaoxiao laughed, “Still can’t let it go, huh? Both Mother Ye and I have moved on.”

Li Dongze glanced at him sidelong, “A man should live his life fiercely like the boss does, anything less isn’t worth calling a life.”

Ye Wan slowly spoke up, “You two bickering, please leave me out of it, thank you.”

What Li Dongze meant by Qing Chen being stronger wasn’t that Qing Chen could beat him now, but that Qing Chen had passed the Knight’s test of conscience, which he had failed to become.

In his eyes, a Knight was a faith, and since Qing Chen passed that test of conscience, it meant he was stronger.

Not becoming a Knight was a lifelong obsession for Li Dongze.

He sighed, “Slaughtering peers like butchering dogs, I wasn’t as good as him in my youth, truly an admirable genius. Lin Xiaoxiao, speak less with Qing Chen from now on, I fear your dead fish vibes might affect him.”

Lin Xiaoxiao’s expression changed, “What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean speak less with him? My relationship with Qing Chen is fine! Who the hell do you think you are!”

Li Dongze calmly thought for a moment, “I’m of a higher grade than you.”

Lin Xiaoxiao flew into a rage, “Fuck you.”

“I’m of a higher grade than you.”

Lin Xiaoxiao: “…”

That statement hit Lin Xiaoxiao’s sore spot; both he and Ye Wan had been stuck at B-Class to this day, unable to awaken further.

And Li Dongze had secretly broken through eight years ago, truly a youthful prodigy.

At this moment, Mother Ye, upon seeing Miao Qifeng just entering the cage, suddenly said, “The muscle details are different, the footwork details are different, this Miao Qifeng has indeed secretly advanced to Land Cruise Grade.”

Among the three, although Li Dongze had the highest grade, Ye Wan was the strongest in technique, so when he said that Miao Qifeng had advanced to Land Cruise Grade, it was definitely not wrong.

“Just watch patiently. The boss said not to intervene,” Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Li Dongze dismissively said, “You don’t need to remind me.”

Miao Qifeng was 1.9 meters tall, a good half head taller than Qing Chen, his muscles bulging so visibly that he even had to duck slightly when entering the small iron gate of the Octagon cage.

When he stood before Qing Chen, for some reason all the spectators felt that the previously formidable young man now seemed somewhat frail.

However, something unexpected happened. Qing Chen didn’t bother with Miao Qifeng’s ferocious gaze; instead, he walked over to the small iron door himself and locked the Octagon cage.

Just a moment ago, Qing Chen had told the referee not to close the door, as it was a waste of time.

But now, faced with a formidable foe, he took the initiative to lock it himself.

The young man, with a calm demeanor, did something astonishing.

Miao Qifeng said calmly from across him, “Men die for money, birds die for food, don’t blame me.”

Qing Chen calmly responded, “I’ve heard it said that in the Octagon cage, every punch reveals the truth, provides answers, and responds to your past efforts. Here, only defeating your opponent can prove you’re stronger than yesterday.”

“What do you mean,” Miao Qifeng asked, puzzled.

Qing Chen said, “Don’t think about money and fame in this Octagon cage, too many distractions.”

In the next moment, Miao Qifeng pounced toward Qing Chen like a fierce tiger, swinging a punch.

And Qing Chen’s arms suddenly came together like a door, tightly guarding his head.

This scene was all too familiar to the spectators; it was just like the beginning of the previous match, but now the roles were reversed.

The instant they made contact, Qing Chen was sent flying backwards, his back crashing hard against the wire mesh!

The power Miao Qifeng demonstrated was astonishing; some audience members even realized that it resembled more a fight between two Land Cruise Grade fighters.

In the private box, Nan Gengchen and others clenched their fists tight, now certain that Li Changqing hadn’t lied to them. Miao Qifeng had indeed secretly taken a Genetic Potion!

Li Yinuo abruptly turned to Li Changqing, “Aunt, where’s the person you arranged? When will they step in to save him?”
