Chapter 20: Fight Club
"Playing with a small sparring partner, I can't improve my grappling skills at all!" Wang Baole, who was broken by the big sparring partner in the dream, with grief and helplessness, after leaving the dream, he ate a snack, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, chewed the snack and walked out of the cave directly, left the Ethereal Dao Academy, and went to the Ethereal City.
For Wang Baole, at this moment, he urgently needs real combat, on the one hand, he is going crazy to be tortured by the big sparring partner, and more importantly, he has realized that although this is too vain to grapple with shameless, it is actually extremely combative.
And if you want to really master it and no longer be abused by the big sparring partner, the only way to learn from real people is to speed up the mastery.
So, he thought of Fight Club all of a sudden.
With such an idea, after Wang Baole entered the Ethereal City, he went straight to the fight club, but on the way he thought about it when he passed by a toy store, and when he walked out after entering, the school robe on his body had changed, and there was an extra ...... in his arms The mask of the White Rabbit.
"After all, I'm a special student of the Taoist Academy, so it's better to keep a low profile. Wang Baole felt that he was very thoughtful, and at this moment he touched the mask in his arms, and his heart was even more satisfied.
This mask made him feel kind, thinking about the appearance on his face, he suddenly felt that he was cute and domineering, and he looked very powerful.
Proudly, Wang Baole walked towards the fight club with his hands behind his back.
The Fight Club, which exists in the seventeen main cities of the entire Federation, has a huge venue and several rings, providing a platform for everyone to fight freely, whether it was in the past or after the Lingyuan Era, it has always been popular.
Especially with the advent of the Lingyuan Era, the revival of ancient martial arts, and the opening of national cultivation, this kind of free fighting has become a popular sport in the Federation.
There is even no shortage of strong people in it, and all kinds of ancient martial arts secret techniques are endless.
No matter what the main city is, no matter what time of day, the place where the fight club is located is one of the most popular places in its city.
Ethereal City is no exception.
Just like at this moment, when Wang Baole arrived, in the ethereal city, the oval building that looked like a huge fist from a distance and looked like an ancient Roman arena up close, and the boiling shouts inside it spread through the hollow roof of the shed.
"Come on, fight again!"
"Is there anyone to challenge me, as long as you win me, you can take ten spirit stones!"
Countless voices with rage and excitement continued to spread, causing the crowd of people passing by outside the fight club to involuntarily pause their eyes, and occasionally some people were eager to try and enter the club.
Feeling the sound of boiling in the club, Wang Baole also felt that the blood flow accelerated, and some excitement rose for no reason, so he hurriedly walked a few steps and stepped into the club.
As soon as he entered, there was a boiling sound in front of him, and in front of him was a majestic hall.
This hall is so big that you can't see the end at a glance, you can only see in the distance that it seems that in the center of the hall, there is a huge crystal ball, which is the size of a hundred zhang, which is very conspicuous.
With the crystal ball as the center, there are countless men and women in different clothes, some of whom are talking to each other, and some of them are looking for information next to the crystal ball.
In addition, there are crowds of people on all sides, and the sound of discussion and noise makes it seem as if people are not at the club, but at the market.
Around this majestic hall, Wang Baole noticed that there were countless doors, some doors closed, some doors opened, and each open door would close after entering the person, obviously these doors were only allowed to enter one person.
"It's too big here!" Wang Baole took a breath, even if he was outside before, he was a little prepared in his heart, but he was still shocked by the enormity of this place, and it took him a long time to squeeze into the crowd, and after exploring left and right, he realized that this fight club was divided into three layers.
The first floor is the lobby, the second floor is the real club battlefield, and the third floor is rarely open to the public on weekdays, and only opens when some grand competitions are held.
If you want to go to the second floor, there are two ways, one is to go directly to the second floor from the four large entrances and exits around, and the other is to rent a ring, so that you can accept the challenge of others on the second floor, and you can also challenge others, and the doors around the hall are prepared for the latter.
The former is simple, but it doesn't have much privacy, while the latter is obviously more focused on privacy and security, but it costs more.
No matter which way you choose, you need to go to the crystal ball in the center of the hall to register your identity and pay the spirit stone.
If it were someone else, he might choose the way to spend less, but for Wang Baole, a soldier who could be used as money by making an IOU, this was a trivial matter, so he walked towards the crystal ball with his hands behind his back.
"I'm here to practice breaking my fingers, spirit stones or something, isn't it just to add more meat to my body. As soon as Wang Baole thought so, he felt more and more different, registered his identity next to the crystal ball, checked the information, and understood the rules, he paid a sum of spirit stones and rented a ring.
Looking left and right, Wang Baole found an open one among the many ring doors around, and stepped in directly, as soon as he entered, he immediately exchanged for the identity qualification in the crystal ball, and it was confirmed, and then the ring door closed, and there was a soft female voice, echoing.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to Kickboxing Club, please be aware of your privacy and cover your face during engagement if necessary...... And whether you go to battle or return, you only need to shout to fight and return in the designated position. The voice explained the rules of the club and suggested something to be aware of.
"It's quite humane, not bad. Wang Baole was very satisfied with this design and walked forward.
In front of him is a passage, surrounded by soft lighting, which looks very comfortable, and at the end of this passage, there is a secret room, which has a small bed and a simple table, chair, and mirror, the main function of this place is to let people rest on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also for people to change their clothes here, disguise their identity, etc.
Standing in the secret room, Wang Baole adjusted his breathing, he felt as if he had now become a general who was going to battle, and his eyes showed determination.
"Here, it will be the first battle of my Wang Baole's fingers!" Wang Baole patted his stomach, took out the little white rabbit mask from his arms, and slowly put it on his face, his whole person's momentum suddenly changed, it was really the cute white rabbit mask and the round body, which seemed to be very incongruous......
But Wang Baole was very satisfied with his image, and after looking in the mirror, he walked directly to the center of the secret room, looked up at the top, and faintly came out of his mouth.
"Fight!"
Almost at the moment when his words were spoken, the canopy above him opened in an instant, and a high platform rose under his feet, lifting it to the top, appeared in the ...... The second floor of the Fight Club!
A roar that was even more manic than the first floor suddenly came from all around, and what was displayed in front of Wang Baole was a ring shrouded in transparent glass!
This ring is 100 meters long, and standing here, you can see through the glass countless people and ...... outside The same ring!
There are hundreds or thousands of rings on the entire second floor, and there are challenges and fights in it, which are constantly going on.
The cheers of the spectators and the roars of the fights were like heat waves, spreading in all directions, and most of the people here covered their faces and did not want to reveal their identities.
Wang Baole took a deep breath, looked around, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot, this kind of environment is both strange and exciting for him, he already knew the rules next to the crystal ball before, and understood that after renting the ring here, he can set a number of spirit stones, waiting for others to challenge, if the other party wins, he will get his own spirit stones, and can restrict the cultivation of those who come to the realm.
And once you fail, you also need to pay the equivalent spirit stone, and in the same way, you can also go out and challenge others, so this place is called, Free Fight Club.
It's just that death is not allowed here, and more attention is paid to the privacy and freedom of guests, and once someone breaks the rules, the club will quickly solve it.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Baole hurriedly set up a spirit stone in his ring, after thinking about it, in order to attract the attention of others and increase the number of times he trained, he simply set up ten spirit stones, and then sat aside, waiting for the challenger with great interest.
But left and right, although there are many people passing by and sweeping their eyes, but no one has challenged, it is really Wang Baole's shape and the number of the ten spirit stones, which makes many people hesitate and feel strange.
After all, ten spirit stones are already a lot of wealth.
"It's going to take a long time. After a stick of incense, Wang Baole was a little impatient, looked left and right, and simply walked out of the ring and joined the crowd, thinking that since no one came to challenge him, then he would challenge others.
"Let's start with a simple ......" Wang Baole shuttled through the crowd, looked at the glass platforms around him, and finally chose the ring to reward a spirit stone and walked over.
On this ring is a big man, burly, with an ordinary cultivation of qi and blood, his eyes are showing essence, he is sitting there cross-legged, looking at the people outside the ring unruly, after noticing Wang Baole's eager gaze, the big man sneered and hooked his finger towards Wang Baole.
"Rabbit, come, accompany your grandfather and me to practice. ”
Wang Baole's eyes widened, and he jumped up directly and stepped into the ring, although there were crowds around, most of them were not too interested in this level of battle, only a few people stopped temporarily because of the burly man and Wang Baole's rabbit image.
Seeing Wang Baole's arrival, Dahan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up in laughter, and his original cultivation of ordinary qi and blood actually climbed directly at this moment, and when he reached the sealed realm, he laughed and went straight to Wang Baole.
Everyone outside the ring was surprised, it was really that the gap between the cultivation of this big man before and after was too big.
"Lao Tzu's favorite thing is to lower his cultivation and lure rabbits like you to take the initiative to come to the door, and I will definitely train you well today!" The big man's laughter echoed, his qi and blood spread, and the whole person approached Wang Baole, raised his thick palm, and slapped it directly towards Wang Baole's face.
Wang Baole almost instinctively raised his right hand, and the devouring seed in his body was running, and he directly launched the grappling technique that made him extremely ecstatic these days, and as the suction power dispersed, the big man's body seemed to be pulled, his palm changed direction, and his body staggered a few steps.
Wang Baole was about to make a move, but the big man reacted very quickly, turned his body violently in a low roar, and walked smoothly, avoiding Wang Baole's grab.
"He dodged him!" This made Wang Baole angry, took the initiative to approach, and went straight to the big man, and the big man also took a breath at the moment, saw that something was wrong, and immediately retreated, and at the same time clenched his fist in a low roar, and threw several punches in a row, trying to force Wang Baole away.
Soon, the two of them are in this ring, you come and go together, for Wang Baole, this is his first battle in the real sense, and this big man is also very suitable for sparring, gradually Wang Baole's figure is getting faster and faster, and his shots are slowly starting to be different, it can be said that his whole person seems to be undergoing an amazing transformation, and the light in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter, full of excitement.
On the contrary to him, the big man was sweating on his forehead, as if he had seen a ghost, but he had already noticed that Wang Baole had risen rapidly from the beginning of jerky in a short period of time!
even forced him to close the sweat pores of his whole body, so that the qi and blood would not disperse, in exchange for faster speed and stronger strength, but it was still not as good as Wang Baole, who just emitted qi and blood realm cultivation.
"Damn, where did this rabbit come from!" Dahan was more and more surprised, gritted his teeth fiercely at this moment, jumped up in a low roar, stretched out the palm of his right hand, and the whole person seemed to be supported by his palm, grabbing towards Wang Baole, which was the only martial art he mastered.
"Qiankun hand!"
The surrounding spectators were also attracted by this battle at this moment, seeing the appearance of Qiankun's hand, many people exclaimed, but their exclamation was almost just started, and the situation in the ring changed in an instant!
At the moment when the big man's hand approached, Wang Baole's eyes flashed, and what appeared in his mind was the figure of the big sparring partner in the dream, and the body walked out directly, and the right hand appeared in an instant with the suction of the phagogue in the body, and he grabbed it directly!
Under this grasp, the big man's expression changed, and his palm was pulled again, and this time before he could avoid it, his fingers were instantly grabbed by Wang Baole and slammed hard!
A miserable scream came directly from the mouth of the big man, his body trembled, his legs were sore, he almost knelt down, and instinctively wanted to pull out, but Wang Baole's hand was like a pliers, and there was suction, no matter how he struggled, it was useless, he only felt that there were 10,000 alpacas rushing over his head, and the voice in his mouth changed tone.
"It hurts, it hurts, let go ......"
"Haha, admit defeat or not!" Wang Baole at this moment was extremely excited, he looked at the big man in front of him, as if he saw himself miserable these days, this kind of finger-breaking comfort and invincibility, made him immediately like this grappling technique.
Everyone outside the ring was stunned at the moment, and after the big man begged for mercy and admitted defeat, they gasped one after another, and couldn't help but be in an uproar.
"This ...... Is this a finger break?"
"Oh my God, it can be like this...... It's shameless. ”
