Suddenly, Liu Ke fell down clutching his right leg and screamed in agony.

The referee quickly stopped the match.

The commentator finally reacted: "There seems to be an unexpected incident on the scene. Both fighters collided legs, and it looks like Liu Ke's leg is broken. This is really unexpected. Gao Xuan should have won this match!"

Before the commentator finished speaking, the referee had already made a gesture, announcing the end of the match and declaring Gao Xuan as the winner.

Liu Ke, with a broken leg, was carried off the ring. Coach Liu Yong looked at his screaming disciple, then at the unfazed Gao Xuan, with a face full of shock.

Gao Xuan took a few steps to Liu Yong and said with concern, "Coach Liu, find him a good leg-setting doctor..."

Liu Yong was both ashamed and angry, his face turning red, but he couldn't say a word.

In Gao Xuan's first King of Fighters pre-match, he broke his opponent's leg with a sweep in just three seconds and easily claimed his first victory.

This victory greatly shocked the majority of professional fighting enthusiasts. From any angle, Gao Xuan seemed unlikely to win.

Could it be that Liu Ke let Gao Xuan win? But there's no need to lose a leg...

The audience on the scene didn't think much about it. They came to see a miracle, and a miracle indeed happened. It was so exciting.

Someone shouted: "The old warrior never dies, the dream never fades."

Soon, this chant built momentum, and many people were moved to tears.

The live director captured this scene and broadcasted it through the live screen.

At least several million viewers were following the battle on online platforms, and Gao Xuan's victory excited all the spectators.

This old guy represents their dreams, represents their resistance to ordinary life.

After this battle, Gao Xuan's influence grew. More advertisers came looking for Gao Xuan.

The hosts of the King of Fighters also savored the benefit and arranged a main match for Gao Xuan. In just twenty days.

However, after the event, all major media outlets were still pessimistic about Gao Xuan.

After all, Gao Xuan was too old. This is a law of nature, impossible to overcome. Gao Xuan would definitely lose when facing a top-notch fighter.

The views of the media experts aroused the dissatisfaction of the audience. The audience expressed their support for Gao Xuan, harshly criticizing the media experts.

The media enjoyed this kind of argument; only disputes can stimulate people's enthusiasm. They weren't afraid of being scolded, just of being ignored.

Attention means hot topics, hot topics mean traffic, which translates to lots of money.

The arguments from both sides, in turn, made Gao Xuan more and more famous.

By the second match, Gao Xuan's appearance fee had risen to five hundred thousand. Nearly ten million people watched the live match online. This is a very impressive number.

Under the attention of the masses, within just ten seconds of the opening, Gao Xuan won with a high kick that knocked over his opponent.

Afterwards, Gao Xuan won four consecutive matches, earning the qualification to challenge Iron Fist Marcus.

The showdown between the veteran and the Iron Fist tyrant Marcus became the hottest topic in the sports circle of the year.

Countless people hoped for Gao Xuan to defeat Marcus, to win glory for the country, and for all ordinary people.

No one knew that Gao Xuan was not ordinary at all...

In the eyes of the people, the middle-aged widower Gao Xuan was the most legendary underdog. They needed such an inspirational idol to motivate themselves.

This decisive battle was scheduled for February 3rd, which was also the first day of the lunar New Year.

All major platforms bought the broadcasting rights and aired the match live at eight o'clock in the evening.

Yao Min, celebrating the New Year at home, sat in front of a high-definition TV with a bottle of wine.

On the TV screen, Marcus was tall and burly, with a fierce appearance. He seemed to have a much stronger presence than Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan's expression was calm, but his eyes were particularly bright and sharp.

Through the TV screen, Yao Min could hear the scene filled with overwhelming cheers: "The old warrior never dies, the dream never fades."

As the match was about to start, Yao Min gripped the wine bottle tightly, her fingers turning a bit pale.

The silhouettes moved back and forth for a few seconds, and before Yao Min could see clearly, Marcus suddenly fell straight down.

Excitedly, the live commentator's voice came through: "The old warrior won, the old warrior won! He floored Marcus with an incredibly fierce kick, ending Marcus's three-year reign over the Middleweight division, the old warrior never dies, the old warrior never dies..."

The commentator got more excited, his voice even quavering a bit.

Yao Min didn't know why the commentator was excited. Looking at Gao Xuan on the ring signaling to the audience with raised hands, her tears couldn't help but fall.

Yao Min's mother, sitting beside her, although not understanding much, knew that Gao Xuan had won.

She excitedly pointed to Gao Xuan on the screen and said, "Hey, hey, Xiao Min, isn't that your friend..."

Gao Xuan winning the King of Fighters championship became explosive news, propelling Gao Xuan's reputation to its zenith.

Many people believed this would be the peak of Gao Xuan's life.

No one expected that in the following year, Gao Xuan participated in two other major fighting events, swept through them, and captured the Middleweight championships of all three events.

Every match Gao Xuan participated in lasted no more than a minute. He won all of them by KO.

Thus, Gao Xuan became the undisputed number one in the fighting circle.

Many martial arts fans believed Gao Xuan was the strongest human, the closest to a deity.

The second year, Gao Xuan continued to dominate the three major fighting events.

In the third year, to prove himself as the strongest on Earth, Gao Xuan challenged for the heavyweight gold belt across categories.

The holders of the heavyweight gold belts in the three major leagues were all willing to have a fair fight with Gao Xuan.

Even maintaining his condition at 85 kilograms, Gao Xuan still defeated everyone across categories, winning the heavyweight gold belt.

By then, no one questioned Gao Xuan's title as the strongest on Earth.

Gao Xuan's perseverance, his late bloom, and his martial artist demeanor all made him an idol for a generation, a representative of this country.

In the ten years that followed, Gao Xuan proved with his own strength that humans can overcome age and create miracles.

As the living strongest legend, Gao Xuan was only criticized for his somewhat flamboyant romances...

At eighty years old, Gao Xuan suddenly fell into a coma one day and was taken to the hospital. News about Gao Xuan once again made headlines.

Lying on the hospital bed, Gao Xuan slowly regained consciousness. As he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a chorus of affectionate cheers: "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."

Looking up, Gao Xuan saw over twenty children of varying ages and different skin colors, all with features bearing a striking resemblance to his, regardless of whether they were boys or girls.

As for the children's mothers, they each had different expressions.

Gao Xuan also saw Yao Min, Little Peach, and further away his manager Old Fatty in the crowd.

Old Fatty had a relatively special status. Seeing Gao Xuan regain consciousness, he hurriedly came over.

Gao Xuan forced a smile at Old Fatty: "Old friend, I have to go."

Normally, Gao should have lived for several more decades. But he had been too busy spreading his genes, exhausting his own life force.

Old Fatty comforted him: "You're in such good shape, you won't die."

Gao Xuan shook his head slightly: "Spreading martial arts to the world, spreading seeds across the world, no regrets..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Xuan's eyes slowly closed, and his breath ceased.

The heart rate monitor suddenly pulled out a long straight line, emitting a somewhat piercing hum.
