The match soon began, with Huo Zhigang stepping onto the stage wearing a tight-fitting vest.
Opposite him stood a thin, hunchbacked man.
The hunchbacked man’s skin was dark and dry, as if from years of sun exposure.
But Lin Feng could sense that this hunchbacked man was no ordinary opponent. He carried a palpable killing intent. While not as physically imposing as Huo Zhigang, his upper body strength might rival Huo Zhigang’s.
Of course, Huo Zhigang had a high chance of winning. As a descendant of the Huo family martial arts, his fundamentals were solid. Coupled with his physical advantage, winning the match wouldn't be difficult.
This was also why Huo Zhigang’s odds were low.
“Lin Feng, are you sure this Muay Thai expert can win?”
Xia Xue seemed unsure. In her opinion, Huo Zhigang had a better chance in this match.
“Under normal circumstances, it’s hard to win, but since I bet on him, he *will* win,” Lin Feng said, his words carrying a hint of mystery.
Shen Xinyue’s eyes lit up: “You mean you have a way to make him win?”
Lin Feng smiled without answering. “Let’s watch the match first. Pride comes before a fall. This Huo Zhigang is too arrogant.”
Just before the match began, Huo Zhigang walked to the edge of the ring and asked, “Meijia, how’s it going? Did your friend place a bet?”
“She did, she bet ten million!”
Chen Meijia snorted, not forgetting to give Lu Jingzhe and his companions a glare.
“It’s good that she bet. Don’t worry, as long as they bet on me, they’re guaranteed to win!”
Huo Zhigang grinned triumphantly. If Lu Jingzhe won money by betting on him, she would surely admire him greatly.
At that point, he could discreetly develop a relationship with Lu Jingzhe.
Lu Jingzhe had such a great figure; her prowess in bed must be incredible too.
Huo Zhigang grew more excited the more he thought about it.
Chen Meijia said irritably, “What are you smiling about? She placed a bet, but not on you. She bet on your opponent!”
“What? You mean they think I’m going to lose?”
Huo Zhigang’s smile vanished instantly.
“Yes, that guy named Lin thought your odds were too low and bet on the opponent,” Chen Meijia couldn't help but laugh.
“Hmph, a bunch of ungrateful wretches. We’ll see what they say when I win the match!”
Huo Zhigang clenched his fists in anger, a surge of fury filling his chest.
This feeling of being underestimated was truly infuriating!
“Yes, my dear, hurry up and defeat this guy. Then let Lu Jingzhe and the others regret it!”
Chen Meijia was also angry, eager to see Lu Jingzhe’s face filled with remorse.
“Alright, give me ten minutes, and I’ll beat him until he’s spitting teeth!”
Huo Zhigang’s fighting spirit was ignited. He stretched his neck, ready for the match.
As the gong sounded, the battle between Huo Zhigang and the hunchbacked man officially commenced.
From the start, Huo Zhigang displayed the dominance and subtlety of Huo family martial arts.
Every punch was filled with explosive power, and his punches were delivered rapidly.
The hunchbacked man was forced to defend, guarding his face with his arms and retreating continuously.
Even so, Huo Zhigang seized an opportunity and landed a powerful uppercut to the hunchbacked man’s chin.
Struck by the blow, the hunchbacked man immediately fell backward, hitting the ground. Disoriented, he struggled to get up.
“Useless! You can’t even take one punch. I advise you to surrender. Otherwise, I’ll ruin your career!”
Huo Zhigang taunted him with mockery, not forgetting to flash a smug smile at Lu Jingzhe and Lin Feng.
That smile made it seem as if he were some extraordinary master.
“Lin Feng, why do I feel like Huo Zhigang and this Muay Thai fighter are not in the same weight class?”
“This Muay Thai expert is no match for Huo Zhigang. If it continues like this, he’s bound to lose!”
Lu Jingzhe, sharp-witted as ever, calculated the gap between the two fighters based on their exchange.
Whether in terms of power or speed, Huo Zhigang held the clear advantage.
From a physics perspective, Huo Zhigang was practically crushing his opponent.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be smiling soon!”
Lin Feng said, flicking a stream of internal energy with his fingertip towards the hunchbacked man.
With the injection of internal energy, the hunchbacked man, who had been lying on the mat, sprang up as if injected with adrenaline, managing a spectacular somersault to regain his footing.
“Oh, looks like my punch didn’t knock you out after all!”
Huo Zhigang was slightly taken aback. Seeing the hunchbacked man get up, he raised his fist and charged again.
To Huo Zhigang’s surprise, the hunchbacked man seemed like a different person this time. He didn’t opt for defense but attacked with his own punches.
*Thump, thump, thump!*
Fist met fist, emitting dull thuds.
Huo Zhigang was forced back repeatedly, his arm going numb from the impact.
In contrast, the hunchbacked man grew stronger with each exchange, his fists like iron. He gave Huo Zhigang no breathing room, launching a relentless, stormy barrage of attacks.
“You’re asking for death!”
Huo Zhigang fought with a sense of frustration. He launched a mid-air flying kick towards the hunchbacked man’s face.
The hunchbacked man didn’t dodge. Instead, he swung his fist hard towards Huo Zhigang’s kicking leg.
Seeing this, Huo Zhigang wore a look of disdain.
His flying kicks were his specialty. He was confident that the power of his leg could break the hunchbacked man’s arm.
However, the moment his fist and leg collided, Huo Zhigang was dumbfounded.
He felt as if his leg had hit a steel plate.
“Ah! My leg!”
Huo Zhigang cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground. He clutched his left leg, writhing in agony.
Seeing this scene, Chen Meijia, who was seated in the stands, shot to her feet.
“My dear, don’t fall! Get up! You can’t lose!”
Chen Meijia shouted in panic. She had bet ten million on Huo Zhigang, and if she lost this money, she was finished!
