Chapter 24: Champion
In order to increase the three children’s ability to protect themselves as soon as possible, Qiu Tong gradually increased the intensity of their training over the next few days. The three brats complained incessantly, but they were so tired that they did not even have the strength to cause trouble.
While she was supervising the three naughty brats’ sit-ups, Qiu Tong suddenly received a text message asking her to participate in the second stage of the boxing competition, to be held tomorrow afternoon at the address stated below.
Qiu Tong frowned when she found the place according to the address.
It was a boxing arena hidden in a secluded corner of a street. It was very inconspicuous and there were random advertisements plastered on the signboard. It looked extremely unofficial.
She stepped inside. A passage led underground. Before she had even moved close to the curtain flaps, she could already hear waves of loud cheers and screams.
Hot blood, sweat, and shouts were enough to make anyone’s blood surge.
The boxing arena was a few hundred square meters and filled with spectators. In the middle was a boxing ring that was over a dozen square meters and stained with blood.
“Number 141, match 31.”
An official at the door callously announced her match and number. Qiu Tong located her boxing ring. A short, muscular man in shorts was already standing on it.
She stood hesitantly below the stage. “This boxing ring isn’t a proper one, is it?”
“Proper?”
The opponent sneered. He rested his arms on the rope and narrowed his eyes coldly. “Life and death is up to fate. Scram if you’re afraid!”
Qiu Tong slowly wrapped her hands with the boxing handwraps and went on stage with a worried look on her face. “Will they go back on their word about the $30,000 prize money?”
So she was only worried about the prize money?!
The opponent was speechless. He was offended at being taken lightly by this little woman. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “We’ll talk about that when you have actually survived this match!”
“Ding!”
The bell rang, and a series of wolf-like cries nearly brought down the roof. It had been a long time since Qiu Tong felt her blood surge like that. Her blood vessels contracted crazily, and her eyes burned with a crazy fighting spirit.
“Little girl, you don’t belong in a place like this!”
The opponent licked his lips and revealed a cold smile. He raised his hand and made a slashing motion at his neck. “Go home!”
Qiu Tong smirked, her eyes calm and expressionless.
She bent her elbows slightly and leaned back, her entire body arching like a cheetah.
“You are just good for show.”
The opponent sneered and threw a punch.
“Swoosh—”
Qiu Tong’s movements were too fast. In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind her opponent. No one could see how she moved. She bent her knees and drew a sharp arc, her knee arcing like an arrow towards her opponent’s waist.
A fatal move!
The man’s pupils constricted violently, and a suffocating feeling of death welled up in his heart. His survival instincts took over and he ducked pathetically to the side, just barely managing to avoid that fatal blow.
The audience was in an uproar. Everyone looked at the stage in shock. A man and a woman, one strong and one weak. The stark contrast was completely reversed by Qiu Tong’s astonishing strength.
“Qiu Tong! Qiu Tong!”
After a few seconds of silence in the stands, an even louder cry erupted from the stands, gradually forming waves of cheers that engulfed the boxing ring.
The man on the stage had an ugly look on his face. He no longer dared to underestimate Qiu Tong and was on full alert.
He had to end this quickly!
Qiu Tong’s gaze sharpened. She punched quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. Her punches landed heavily on the man’s face, causing him to spit out blood and retreat hastily.
She bent her knees and jumped. In the boxing ring, she was like a fighting machine, blocking the man’s escape route. Her long arms reached out and grabbed the man’s arm. Her petite figure bent over as twisted her feet around.
“Crash!”
The sound of his body landing heavily on the cement ground rang out loud. One could also hear the sound of bone breaking.
The arrogant and despotic man was lying on the ground like a pile of dirt. The coldness in Qiu Tong’s eyes faded and she smiled faintly.
“I’m sorry, it has been too long since I last fought, so I haven’t figured out how to adjust my strength.”
The cheers and screams in the stands were deafening. Qiu Tong frowned and sat calmly on the stage, waiting for the next round.
No one dared to look down on her, the only woman. Qiu Tong’s speed was too fast, and her movements tricky. Her figure was slender and agile, and she ended every match as fast as she could.
“The champion is—Qiu Tong!”
As the referee blew the whistle, Qiu Tong breathed heavily and her eyes lit up. $30,000!
In a hidden private room in the corner of the second floor, a sharp eagle-like gaze locked onto Qiu Tong’s slender figure. Jin Yang’s thin lips curled up slightly.
No wonder she dared to save him that time. It turned out that this woman was extremely skilled.
Qiu Tong was about to leave after receiving the prize money when the organizer stopped her.
“Qiu Tong, there’s an additional segment. Do you want to participate?”
Qiu Tong paused. The organizer tactfully added, “If you participate, you can win another $30,000!”
Another $30,000?!
Bring it on!
Qiu Tong nodded without hesitation. When she stood on the boxing ring, she realized that the organizer was holding a cheetah!
