On the beach of Miami Beach, a burly black man was stuck headfirst in the sand, his head buried, with only his body and limbs dangling outside.
The onlookers were stunned into silence. They had never witnessed such a fantastical event. After all, Benjamin, the rhinoceros-like defensive end of the American football team, was so powerfully built that a charging man colliding with him would at least be seriously injured, if not killed.
But what was the outcome? This enraged rhinoceros had turned into an upside-down gourd, directly planted in the sand. One couldn't help but wonder if a splash of urine would make another one grow.
Ling Tian clapped his hands. The move he had just used was a technique from Tai Chi, directly utilizing the opponent's force against them, neutralizing the impact, and then guiding that force to directly plant Benjamin in the sand.
Who was Ling Tian? He was someone who wouldn't tolerate any wrongdoing. He could tell at a glance whether this incident was an accident or not.
While it might appear to be an accident to ordinary people, Ling Tian could analyze Benjamin's movements and intentions from the details of his every muscle.
Just then, an enraged voice boomed, "Oh, you yellow-skinned bastard, you monkey, you killed my brother!"
Ling Tian looked up and saw another burly black man charging towards him. This man's physique was almost as imposing as Benjamin's, who was currently planted in the sand, but this newcomer had longer and even more muscular arms.
The man who arrived was named Duffer, a famous heavyweight boxing champion in the United States. He had recently won two championship belts and was at the peak of his career.
He was not wrong; he and Benjamin were indeed brothers, though whether they were biological brothers was debatable. Many black men didn't know who their biological fathers were, just as even a basketball superstar like LeBron James didn't know his father.
However, Duffer had grown up with Benjamin. In their youth, they had even joined the same street gang. It was only due to their exceptional physical talents that they were later discovered by scouts and became sports stars.
Duffer had wholeheartedly agreed with Benjamin's proposal. Unexpectedly, Ling Tian was unharmed, while Benjamin was planted headfirst in the sand. This enraged Duffer.
Most of these athletes were simple-minded brutes, especially boxers, who all had fiery tempers. Thus, Duffer charged at Ling Tian, raising a pair of volleyball-sized fists and aiming directly for Ling Tian's face.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell if someone is skilled with just one move. Duffer had seen how Ling Tian dealt with Benjamin and knew that Ling Tian was definitely a martial artist, and a very skilled one at that. Therefore, the boxing champion dared not underestimate him and went all out!
For a boxer, it was easy to kill someone without boxing gloves.
Many people believe that boxing gloves are a boxer's weapon, making their punches more powerful. However, the opposite is true. Boxing gloves actually provide a buffer, greatly weakening a boxer's attack. Otherwise, a direct hit to the face from a professional boxer would be fatal!
Now, seeing his brother treated like that, Duffer disregarded everything else.
Facing such a punch, Ling Tian did not dodge or evade. Only when the fist was less than ten centimeters away, and Duffer could no longer change his move, did Ling Tian act. He subtly shifted his body half a step to the side, tilting his head slightly. Duffer's powerful punch grazed Ling Tian's ear and flew past.
Immediately after, Ling Tian raised his right hand and delivered an uppercut that landed squarely on Duffer's chin.
The unfortunate heavyweight champion, the usually glorious Duffer, was sent flying through the air, his body soaring backward!
"Thump!"
Duffer's massive body crashed heavily onto the sand. Then, he opened his mouth wide, spitting out blood and teeth.
Ling Tian's punch had directly ripped Duffer's lips and severely damaged his mouth and teeth.
"My God, what am I seeing..."
"Isn't that Duffer, the heavyweight champion, who got hit?"
"God, that Chinese young man is so handsome! Is this Chinese Kung Fu?"
Just then, Ling Tian walked forward, looking up and scanning the group of black men who were with Duffer and Benjamin.
"Come on, you guys, who else is not convinced? Come over!
If you're not up for it, you can all come at me together! I'll see it through!"
If they were ordinary people, they would not tolerate such a provocation from Ling Tian and would have retaliated with full force.
However, these people had just witnessed Ling Tian use his opponent's force to plant Benjamin in the sand and then knock out the boxing champion Duffer with a single punch. Was this the power of ordinary humans?
These people also knew that in a bare-handed fight, even if they all ganged up on Ling Tian, they would not be his match.
"Tch, a bunch of gutless cowards, trying to act tough. Pfft!"
After speaking, Ling Tian, accompanied by the stunning Aurora and the petite and adorable loli Ali, walked through the beach and headed straight for the oil rig pier.
Meanwhile, David Aldrich, who had been hiding in the crowd and witnessing everything, felt a sense of lingering fear. He was very fortunate that he had restrained himself and had not personally attacked Ling Tian. Otherwise, he might have faced a far more severe blow than the unconscious Benjamin and Duffer.
An ambulance arrived a few minutes later. Several ambulances were always on standby at the Kuite family's hotel.
At this very moment, a video of the boxing champion Duffer being knocked down by a passerby had already been uploaded online!
Many people even suspected that the incident was staged. After all, for a boxing champion, even if their hands were tied, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to hit them with their fists.
But now, Duffer's current predicament clearly indicated that he hadn't consulted the almanac before leaving home!
Soon, a medium-sized yacht capable of accommodating over 20 members set sail from the pier. Besides the necessary crew, the yacht also carried four chefs and a large amount of ingredients, all prepared for Ali, who was described as a human bottomless pit.
Aurora lay on the deck cabin, holding a tablet computer, which she handed directly to Ling Tian.
