Infinite Fighting

Chapter 69: Chapter 61: Throwing a Match

The "Hungry Wolf" standing before Zhang Ji was no prettier a sight than he was. The man was covered in tattoos and scars, and his right arm was also a metal prosthetic.

In a place like this, such an appearance wasn’t just accepted—it was popular.

"Hungry Wolf... Hungry Wolf..."

A few spectators cheered for Zhang Ji’s opponent.

It wasn’t that most of them actually liked or admired the man.

They had simply bet on him to win.

"I’m going to tear you to pieces and eat you," Hungry Wolf snarled at Zhang Ji, flashing a mouthful of steel teeth.

"Hope you don’t chip a tooth," Zhang Ji replied.

"The match begins!"

The moment the announcer finished speaking, Hungry Wolf advanced, his heavy steps thudding against the ring floor.

WHOOSH!

He threw a punch straight at Zhang Ji’s face.

But Zhang Ji simply took a small step back, dodging the attack by a hair’s breadth.

’That one punch was enough for me to gauge his approximate strength.’

’Limited speed, but decent power. Barely a professional Fourth Rank, at best.’

’Technique?’

’Does he even have any?’

’As far as I’m concerned, while his punches are standard enough, he has nothing that could truly be called technique.’

’He’d certainly never be able to master the finer points of the art.’

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Punch after punch came flying, but Zhang Ji used fluid footwork to easily evade every attack.

"Is running all you can do, you rat?!" Hungry Wolf roared.

Zhang Ji decided he’d had enough of this. He leaped into the air and suddenly shot out his right leg.

SWOOSH!

BAM!

Using a Crane Form kick, Zhang Ji’s right leg slammed into Hungry Wolf’s cheek. The blow directly bent his steel teeth out of shape. The man’s head snapped to the side as he collapsed to the ground.

Before the man could get up, Zhang Ji moved in and followed up with a stomp on his knee.

CRACK!

Hungry Wolf’s right leg snapped.

AHHHH!

He crawled on the floor, unable to get up again.

"I forfeit!"

The crowd was full of jeers, demanding Zhang Ji land another blow and finish him off for good.

Even the referee was deliberately delaying the announcement of the results.

But Zhang Ji didn’t move. He just watched quietly as Hungry Wolf crawled to the entrance and banged on the glass door.

’I’m not a bloodthirsty person. More importantly, whether I kill or not is my decision to make. No one else gets a say!’

Finally, the referee announced the results.

"The winner of this match is... Extreme Dragon!"

Once the winner was announced, the gate opened and Hungry Wolf quickly crawled out.

Zhang Ji looked at a staff member and asked, "Can I keep fighting?"

"Of course." The staff member shot Zhang Ji a scornful look before turning and walking away.

"Extreme Dragon is fighting again! It seems Hungry Wolf didn’t satisfy him at all!"

The announcer bellowed the news that Zhang Ji would be fighting back-to-back matches.

The atmosphere immediately erupted.

Fighting back-to-back matches is incredibly draining.

Even if your opponents are weaker, unless you can take them out in a single blow, a few bouts in a row are enough to exhaust most fighters.

Of course, people like Zhang Ji were an exception.

If he wanted to, he could activate his Celestial Serpent Form and fight opponents like this until tomorrow.

Just then, Zhang Ji saw Robby on the other side of the glass below the ring, making a hand signal.

Robby held up four fingers.

This was what they had arranged before they arrived.

Win four matches, then lose the fifth.

Zhang Ji glanced over, then looked away.

Soon, his second opponent was sent up.

He looked similar to Hungry Wolf but had even more cybernetic modifications, including a chainsaw attached to his arm.

"This match pits ’The Bloodsucker’ Hubert against Extreme Dragon!"

’He has a name, so he must be a local veteran.’

VRMMMM!

The chainsaw roared to life, its buzzing deafening. It was accompanied by the smell of diesel and plumes of rising smoke.

Zhang Ji raised an eyebrow. ’It’s actually a diesel-powered chainsaw.’

’It would’ve been easy enough to convert it to run on electricity. This was obviously intentional—a way to psychologically intimidate his opponent, and maybe to get the crowd fired up.’

At that moment, the bloodthirsty crowd began to cheer again.

"Tear him apart, Hubert!"

"Bloodsucker, I bet on you! Saw him in half!"

"Saw off his arms and legs first! I want to see him crawling on the ground without any limbs!"

...

VRMMMM!

Wielding the chainsaw, the Bloodsucker charged straight at Zhang Ji.

’He’s faster and stronger than Hungry Wolf was, and he’s armed.’

’Overall combat strength... probably equivalent to a professional Sixth Rank.’

’But his shortcomings are just as obvious. He’s also severely lacking in technique. That’s the common failing of these self-taught brawlers—when they face disciples from the major sects, they’re often beaten by opponents who are supposedly a rank below them.’

WHIZZ! WHIZZ!

Zhang Ji twisted his body to dodge two swings. To make his act more convincing, he deliberately let the blade tear a gash in his clothes, making it look like a close call.

At this moment, Zhang Ji truly felt a wave of emotion.

’Back in the Five Elements Sect, when did I ever have to worry about money?’

’Now I’ve been reduced to throwing matches in a place like this just to make money.’

Zhang Ji retreated again and again. At the edge of the ring, he dropped low. The chainsaw swung down, stopping with a screech an inch above his head, its descent halted for a split second by the tempered glass barrier.

In that split second, Zhang Ji slid to the side and kicked hard at the Bloodsucker’s arm. The blow knocked the chainsaw askew and bent the cybernetic limb. At the same time, Zhang Ji slammed a fist into his head.

BAM!

His opponent collapsed. Just as before, Zhang Ji moved in and stomped on his leg, breaking it.

Both of the Bloodsucker’s legs were mechanical prosthetics, so he didn’t scream in pain when it snapped.

Instead, the audience started screaming for Zhang Ji to kill him.

Defying their wishes, Zhang Ji kicked the Bloodsucker—who was trying to get back up to fight—over to the gate, then glanced at the camera.
