Chapter 23 - Testing The Waters

Slowly, the sound of Shi Yu's strike attracted the attention of the people in the hall. They saw that this unfamiliar face could actually turn every part of his body into a weapon. Every attack was a fatal blow.

After a while, sweat started to form on Shi Yu's forehead. Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down Shi Yu's blood vessels, but at this moment, he seemed to have entered a state of selflessness.

He had forgotten the rhythm of his breathing. Every time he struck, he was trying to exert more strength. What would happen if he struck there? Where?

What should he do with his hands so that he wouldn't waste any extra strength? Where was his weakness after striking like this? The more Shi Yu fought, the more excited he became. Eventually, he kicked the sandbag open, and the sand fell to the floor.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shi Yu looked around. Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a monster. He picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his head.

At this time, a muscular black man walked down from the field and patted Shi Yu's shoulder, "Brother, where did you learn your fighting skills? Your techniques are too fierce. Your attacks are like killing techniques."

Hearing the words of the black man in front of him, Shi Yu shrugged and said, "I can't say that I'm a killer. I can only say that my grandfather taught me. I don't have much time to come here."

Unexpectedly, the black man said, "Do you want to come on the field and train with me? I have a match in a few weeks, and I can't find a good sparring partner."

Looking at the people around him, Shi Yu felt that he needed to vent, so he nodded in agreement.

The black man was delighted. He, too, liked to spar with powerful people. He reached out his fist and bumped it with Shi Yu. "I'm Jimmy."

Shi Yu also replied, "It's a pleasure to spar with you, Jimmy. My Name Is Shi Yu."

Then, the two of them walked up to the four-horned dragon. Although it was a boxing gym, most of the people who practiced here had fought with Jimmy before. However, many of them were defeated by Jimmy. After all, they fought in a competition.

Seeing Jimmy walk up to the four-horned dragon cage with a strange man, all the people who were training around came over to watch the show.

Whistles filled the cage. Some people were betting that the skinny man wouldn't even be able to withstand a few blows from Jimmy's fist. Without a doubt, the people in the boxing hall were all betting on Jimmy. After all, they all knew Jimmy's strength.

However, Shi Yu didn't have a single vote. He saw Shi Yu take out a stack of banknotes from his bag.

"10,000 dollars! I bet on myself!" Shi Yu shouted.

Hearing Shi Yu's words, the people in the hall burst into laughter. They didn't think that he could beat Jimmy.

Watching the two ready people walk onto the stage, a referee wearing white gloves came out and briefly explained the rules. They weren't allowed to the crotch or the back of the head.

After listening to the rules, the two of them exchanged a simple fist bump.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Fight!"

The two of them began to move their bodies and test each other's fists slowly. Looking at Jimmy's figure, Shi Yu knew that he was a strength-type player at first glance, so he began to change his footwork.

After a few rounds of the test level, Shi Yu was the first to throw a punch. Jimmy tilted his head and dodged it, and as for Jimmy's fist, Shi Yu bent his arm to his head to block, allowing Jimmy's fist to hit the muscle in his elbow.

He had taken that punch on purpose, actually testing the strength of Jimmy's fist. Shi Yu instantly retreated and pulled some distance away, shaking his slightly numb arm.

After feeling Jimmy's strength, he started to play a guerilla game with Jimmy, moving in and out quickly.

Jimmy saw his footsteps and rushed forward. He swung his fist at Shi Yu's head. Shi Yu instantly bent his body and raised both of his arms to block it, then quickly followed his bent body and threw two uppercuts at Jimmy's left and right ribs.

Jimmy stepped back and hammered his chest with his fist. The audience whistled and echoed Jimmy.

"Yes! That's it. strike him, Jimmy."

"I'll bet all of today's money on you, Jimmy. Don't let me down."

"Beat this kid to the ground, Jimmy."

Hearing the jeers around him, Jimmy became even more excited, and Shi Yu, too, turned serious.

He turned defense into success. He kicked Jimmy's outer thigh and then quickly retreated. Unexpectedly, Jimmy pressed his left hand against his neck and pressed it against the edge of the cage. Feeling the wind from his right fist, Shi Yu raised his hand and put it above his head to block.

Jimmy's fist smashed into Shi Yu's arm. The tremendous force forced Shi Yu to bend down to deflect the force. Shi Yu suddenly felt a numbness in his arm. His left hand pressed down from above and knocked Jimmy's hand down from his neck.

He took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Jimmy's neck, and his knee hit his abdomen with great force. Jimmy also wrapped his arms around Shi Yu's neck and threw him out with great force.

Shi Yu followed Jimmy's strength and pulled away from him. Jimmy looked at Shi Yu with excitement. It seemed that the pain made him even more excited. Jimmy once again waved his fist and rushed over.

Shi Yu bent down to dodge Jimmy's fist and hit him in the stomach. Jimmy bent down in pain. Shi Yu seized the opportunity to step back with his right foot, bend his knee, and then used his waist to lift his body and hit Jimmy on the chin with an uppercut.

When the crowd saw this punch, they burst into oohs and aahs, behaving as though they were the ones who had been hit by this punch.

Jimmy was a little dizzy from Shi Yu's punch. He quickly stepped back to the edge of the cage and shook his head. However, Shi Yu in front of him was like a phantom. Jimmy hit his head hard, trying to hit his attention.

Nonetheless, Shi Yu saw that Jimmy, who was staggering, would not let go of such an excellent opportunity to attack.

He stepped back with his left foot on the ground and turned slightly to the right with his right foot in front of his body. Then, he suddenly turned to the left. Inertia caused his body to turn in the air once. After that, his left foot stepped on the ring again, his waist in line with his straight right leg, and instantly kicked Jimmy's face.

After receiving the kick, Jimmy lost consciousness and fell onto the stage heavily, blowing a huge cloud of dust from the stage.

Shi Yu looked at the crowd and said, "I've won the money now, right?" Seeing that no one said anything, Shi Yu jumped off the stage, took the money, stuffed it into his bag, and sat down to untie the boxing bandages.

The crowd rushed up and hugged Jimmy's head, stroking his tongue with their fingers. If they didn't straighten his tongue at this time, he would choke to death from swallowing it.

Occasionally, there would be people peeking at Shi Yu, watching the strange man in front of them beat Jimmy to the ground in the first round.

Seeing someone holding an ice bag and massaging Jimmy, Shi Yu headed to the bathroom to take a shower and a change of clothes. When he came out, he saw Jimmy sitting there waiting for him.
