"Here, this is one of the most well-known gyms in Yanshou District, the Cutting Thorn Gym, and I am friends with the owner of this gym, if you really want to participate in a martial arts tournament, we can train here." Xie An parked the car on the side, looked at the tall building in front of him and said.

"It's a big gym." Lu Li sighed.

"Our Daming Dynasty was originally a traditional martial arts powerhouse, and the overall economic form of Xinhai City is now optimistic, and all kinds of martial arts competitions have sprung up." After Xie An finished speaking, he pulled the handbrake and pulled out the key. "Let's go? Go inside and have a look. I'll find a suitable candidate to compete with you in a moment. ”

"Senior brother is talking about finding the kind of prosthetic person you said?" Lu Li became interested and excitedly moved his wrist joints.

"That's a prosthetic, prosthetic?" Xie An corrected. "Well, you're excited now, you think you're going to go in and play games and dungeons? Senior brother, I can tell you, the city is not the same as you are in the temple, the fighters here are all professional, today I will find you a person with the same physique as you, and try your strength. ”

The two got out of the car and walked into the gym, and when they entered the door, it was a large open venue, and the reception desk was facing this gate, and the two walked in after registering the information. I saw a lot of square boxing rings and octagonal fighting cages in the middle, many people in the boxing ring were fighting, and some of the rings were surrounded by many spectators, some men and women, some fat and some thin, but without exception they were all vigorous and murderous.

Walking into the locker room, Lu asked, "Senior brother, do you feel that I am fighting with the people here, which is stronger or weaker?" ”

Xie An thought for a while and said, "You are a layman who fights professionals, as long as you don't get knocked down, it's not bad." ”

Lu Li was a little unconvinced: "Senior brother, are all the kung fu we learned in the temple fake?" ”

Xie An smiled, "Those are all old things, it's okay to keep fit, if you really want to go on stage and fight with these professional martial artists, it's not at the same level at all." ”

Regarding the pessimistic evaluation of the senior brother, Lu Li was a little speechless.

Xie An handed over the boxing pants and boxing gloves and said, "You warm up first, and then you will play freely on stage, as long as you don't get beaten too ugly, you won't lose." ”

"You'll see in a moment. I'll take him down in two rounds at most. Lu Li replied confidently.

"I'm very confident, then I'll go out and help you find someone first." Xie An said with a smile.

Lu Li changed his clothes, put on his fist gloves, and walked out of the locker room with Xie An, who came back.

"Well, that's the one who'll be competing with you in a moment." Xie An pointed to a man in the distance.

Lu Li fixed his eyes and saw that this person's height and weight were almost the same as his own.

"This person is a candidate for the Humanoid Ultimate Fighting Tournament and has three years of boxing experience." Xie An introduced.

Lu Li warmed up and asked, "What is a candidate?" ”

"Almost all the players in the ultimate fighting competition have technology-related blessings, including adding exoskeletons, replacing prostheses, biological modification, etc., and this requires a huge amount of financial and technical support, so if ordinary people want to enter the ultimate fighting competition, they need to play well in ordinary events first, and be selected by sponsors before they can be qualified to enter the ultimate fighting competition. And these people are the candidates for the ultimate fighting match. Xie An explained.

The two walked forward, and the alternate looked at the two, smiled at Xie An and nodded, his eyes full of respect.

Then he shook hands with Lu Li and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Yu Yongjun, a ....... "This candidate named Yu Yongjun looked at Lu Li for a moment, suddenly froze, and recognized Lu Li." You're not that ......."

"This is my fellow junior brother Lu Li, I just came to Xinhai City a few days ago, and you two will come to the stage to compete in a while, both relax and fight hard." Xie An patted the two of them on the shoulder and said.

Yu Yongjun's attention also retracted and nodded.

The two sides made their final preparations, and Xie An said to Lu Li: "Although Yu Yongjun is good at boxing, after all, he is going to eat the meal of the ultimate game, and he will still come to the rules of mixed martial arts in a while, and he can use his legs." ”

Lu Li said confidently: "Since the opponent is a boxer, then I don't mind knocking him down with boxing." After saying that, he walked into the ring.

Just after Lu Li walked into the ring, Yu Yongjun was called aside by his coach. whispered to him: "Ah Jun...... Let's talk to Xie An about this competition. The coach looked a little flustered.

Yu Yongjun was a little puzzled and asked, "Why?" The opportunity to compete with the junior and younger brothers of the fighting champion of the year could not be found for money. ”

"Ah Jun, you are stupid, you haven't read the report on this young man, the light-speed killing in the square is definitely not an idle person, let's find an opponent who is about the same. If you get hurt, you'll be in for the ultimate fight. The coach said with a wistful expression.

After listening to some of the coach's words, Yu Yongjun's face was a little ugly, and he was silent.

The coach looked at Yu Yongjun, who was silent, and was a little anxious, "Ah Jun, if you can't lose face, I'll go and talk to Xie An." Let's go step by step, and sooner or later we will meet him in the ring. ”

At this time, Xie An walked over and asked, "How is it, are you ready?" ”

"Ready." Yu Yongjun raised his arms and spoke firmly.

The coach saw that the situation had been decided, and he stopped Yu Yongjun, who was about to come to the stage, and said: "Ah Jun, don't fight conservatively for a while, if I see that the situation is wrong, I can immediately throw a white towel." ”

"Got it, Coach." After that, he walked into the ring without looking back.

The referee on stage read out the main rules of martial arts: "No headbutting, no pulling of hair shorts, no hitting the back of the crotch, no facet joint control, no stepping on the opponent who has fallen to the ground......"

The two waited for the referee to read out the rules and bumped fists to show friendship, and the referee officially announced the start of the match.

Lu Li's hugging frame was still holding the back and forth as usual, his body was constantly shaking and jumping, and he looked relatively relaxed. However, Yu Yongjun's hugging was relatively conservative, bending down slightly and lowering his head to tighten his jaw, his fists were tightly pressed against his chin, and his body remained still.

Since Yu Yongjun had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, Lu Li decided to attack first, and after circling clockwise twice, a left front hand punch was quickly struck.

The forehand punch is not very powerful and unlikely to knock out the opponent, but the speed of the punch is more suitable as a test.

Yu kept his body unchanged, and at the moment of the fist hit, his left hand performed a sideways slap, which offset the impact of the straight punch, so that the fist did not hit his cheek smoothly.

At the same time, the distance was narrowed, and the right fist was followed by an uppercut, and Lu reacted quickly, dodging this uppercut behind his back, but still ate a set of combination punches.

Lu Li pulled away and adjusted his breathing, and there was a slight pain in his chest and abdomen.

Although Yu Yongjun put on a conservative posture against the enemy just now, but the professional boxer is really not simple, not a sandbag that will only be beaten, after resolving his straight punch offensive, he quickly counterattacked, and played a beautiful combination of punches, if he hadn't reacted quickly and dodged the deadliest hook, otherwise this set would have been taken away.

Yu continued to keep his stance tight at the beginning, leaving no chance for his opponent to break the defense. Lu Yi was a little at a loss, because the height and weight of the two were almost the same, both of them weighed about 185 or 80 kilograms. The weight class is the same, and the natural boxing strength will not be crushed, so it is difficult to break through Yu's defense with Lu Li's current boxing strength.

Lu tightened the distance, first adjusted the distance with punches, and then hit a set of combination punches to the head, which were easily blocked by Yu.

After a set of combination punches, Lu Li still kept straightening his left hand and adjusting the distance, which was a very dangerous move, because the extension of his left hand meant that there was a gap in the defense of the left side of his head.

Yu Yongjun quickly seized the opportunity to make a hole in the land defense, and decisively hit a straight punch of heavy artillery in his right hindhand, which was extremely powerful.

Fooled!

Lu Li quickly bent down, his whole body dived, and Yu's hook brushed through Lu Li's scalp and hit the air. Before he could react to make the next move, Lu Li adjusted his posture and hit Yu's right waist hard with a left hook, and then stood up and followed a more ruthless right hook.

However, this second hook did not hit Yu Yongjun, because Yu's waist immediately collapsed to the ground after receiving a heavy punch from Lu Li.

The lower back and abdomen are the part that protects the organs, and the nerves are very densely distributed, and once a blow is made, not only will the pain be severe, but the organs may also be damaged.

The referee lies on his stomach and begins to count the seconds. Yu's face was ugly, his facial features were twisted together like an emergency assembly, and fine sweat oozed from his head. But fortunately, a hook did not have a fatal effect, Yu adjusted for a moment, and then adjusted back before the coach's countdown, and Yu Yongjun looked at his coach in the audience as soon as he stood up.

At this time, Coach Yu Yongjun, who was standing outside the court, was very nervous as if he was playing the game in person, sweating profusely, his eyes were staring at Yu Yongjun, and after seeing him stand up and give him a look, he immediately knew what he meant.

Don't throw white towels!

The referee continued the two-man match after confirming that someone could continue the game.

Just when the two were in a posture and ready to continue the game, there was a commotion outside the ring, it turned out that Lu Li was fighting with others in the boxing gym, and I don't know who posted it on the Internet.

The attention of the two in the ring was also attracted by the spears and cannons in the audience. Xie An shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, go on." ”

Lu Li came back to his senses and said to Yu Yongjun: "Brother Yu, then I will continue." ”

"Come on." Yu Yongjun wiped his nose and said.

After all, Yu Yongjun has been a professional boxer for two or three years, and he has enough experience in the ring, but Lu Li's reaction power is also outstanding, and he has avoided most of Yu Yongjun's attacks.

In this way, the two played four rounds with each other's hits. A total of five rounds are played for five minutes each. Because Yu Yongjun was knocked down once in the first game, if nothing else, Lu Li will win this duel.

In the last game, after the fierce confrontation between the two, their physical strength declined, the speed of punches and reaction began to decline significantly, the operation was deformed, and more of a fist-for-punch fight.

One is a martial arts practitioner who has been working out in the mountains since he was a child, and the other is a boxer who has been fighting in the ring all year round. Although both of them were physically exhausted, they showed a clear gap in fighting and fighting, and after frequent boxing exchanges, Lu Li's body shook visibly and his arms weakened.

"Don't exchange punches with him! Defend and regain stamina. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie An shouted anxiously.

Lu Li also realized the seriousness of the problem, and turned from offense to defense to recover his strength.

Seeing this, Yu Yongjun did not rush to stop the vigorous attack, but more of a tentative attack.

At this time, seeing that the collision between the two players in the ring was reduced, the onlookers reporters and everyone were a little impatient and began to yell loudly.

"Punch, punch!"

"Hurry up, hard."

I don't know if it was distracted by the restless crowd, or if Lu Li's physical strength was exhausted, there was a weak gap in Lu Li's defense, and Yu Yongjun, who had recovered his physical strength, seized this opportunity and hit him without hesitation with a heavy punch in his back hand.

Before Lu Li could react, his chin was firmly punched. The next second, the brain lost consciousness and lay on the ground. Lu Li's vision was extremely blurry, and only the lights from the ceiling of the gym kept spinning in front of him.

"One, two......"

The referee lay in front of Lu Li and began to shout the reading, Lu Li's thinking returned to clarity, knowing that he couldn't stand up before the reading was over, and the game would be lost, but the body lying on the ground was like a lead block, and he couldn't do anything.

"Five, Six......"

Lu Li stood up, his gaze returning to normal.

"Are you sure you want to continue?" The referee asked, holding Lu Li's arms.

"Go on." Lu Li looked directly at the referee and said.

The referee walked back to the middle and continued the game.

Lu Li clasped his hands tightly, his eyes staring at Yu Yongjun with a firm gaze. But he knew that there was no chance of winning this game, and although he stood up at the end of the countdown, his arms were now weak and his breath was unstable.

"Take a deep breath! Relax your arms! In the noisy crowd, Xie An's voice came.

Yu didn't give Lu Li a chance to rest, and quickly tightened the distance, which was a set of combination punches. Lu Li could only hold his head to defend, and Yu's hitting point changed flexibly with the defensive position of Lu Li's arms, sometimes the head and sometimes the rib waist.

After a while, he was forced to the corner rope, and at this time, Lu Li couldn't wait to grow three arms to protect his whole body.

The referee stared at the two of them, ready to end the game at any time, Lu Li was a little unbearable to be beaten, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Without much thought, he subconsciously kicked forward and kicked the warriors two meters away, and Yu took a few steps back to barely maintain his center of gravity.

The reporters in the audience who were not confused about the truth thought it was a boxing match, and immediately shouted and scolded in dissatisfaction.

"Okay?"

"Heroes in the audience, villains on the stage!"

At this moment, a white towel was thrown into the ring.
