When you do everything to the extreme

Chapter 74: 73. Prepare to Lose? Lacadi’s Conspiracy!
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he took Yang Xiaoyu's hand and walked into his room!
Zhang Jun, Sun Hong, Sun Li and others were left outside in a daze.

Zhang Jun heard Chen Tian's voice on the phone: "Lao Zhang, do as Wang Xiao said."

Zhang Jun quickly regained consciousness and asked, "Director Chen, do we really want to publicly accept that Lakadi's challenge to an unlimited fighting match? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Chen Tian: "Can you refuse Wang Xiao?"

Zhang Jun was silent for a moment. He really didn't dare to refuse Wang Xiao.

If he doesn't do it, Wang Xiao can do it himself, and the result will remain the same, but there may be a rift between him and Wang Xiao, and they may not be able to continue to cooperate.

So, Zhang Jun sighed softly and said, "Okay, I'll contact Liang Bing."

Chen Tian: "Before you contact Liang Bing to announce the news, first contact a fighting club in Chengdu as the venue! Then, contact Magic City TV and ask them if they want exclusive live broadcast rights."

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Tian to suddenly switch to the exclusive live broadcast.

Such a popular no-holds-barred fight, the exclusive live broadcast rights should be able to sell for a good price, right?
Then he smiled and said, "Okay, Director Chen, I understand."

Chen Tian said seriously, "First, we must ensure Wang Xiao's health and that the competition proceeds normally. We don't know why he's so anxious to compete. However, if his body can't hold on, then don't worry about the results."

Zhang Jun: "What about Master Wang and Lacadi's unlimited fighting? What if Master Wang gets injured by Lacadi?"

Chen Tian: "Weren't you there? If you see that the situation isn't right, just admit defeat on behalf of Wang Xiao and end the fight. I said, everything is based on ensuring Wang Xiao's safety. I also want to see him win a few more world long-distance running championships."

Zhang Jun: "Okay, Director Chen, I understand."

hang up the phone.

Zhang Jun immediately contacted Liang Bing.

Liang Bing was also very surprised when she received Zhang Jun's call. She wondered if she could give Wang Xiao another exclusive interview: "Hello, Director Zhang."

Zhang Jun got straight to the point: "Reporter Liang, please help Wang Xiao announce something."

Liang Bing: "Okay, go ahead, Director Zhang."

Zhang Jun: "On behalf of Wang Xiao, I'm announcing that I've accepted Lacadi's invitation to an unlimited fight! The time is the day after tomorrow, and the location is in Chengdu."

Liang Bing was shocked. "Director Zhang, are you sure? Wang Xiao is going to publicly accept Lacadi's invitation to an unlimited fight? If we announce it through our media, everyone will know, and we won't be able to withdraw it! Lacadi is a professional boxer. He has fought people several times in training and competitions in Europe. Master Wang may not be his opponent."

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Thank you, Reporter Liang, for your concern. But you should know that our Master Wang also practices martial arts and is not at a disadvantage against Lakadi."

Practicing martial arts?

A martial arts performance?

Liang Bing complained slightly in her heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud. She said tactfully, "Director Zhang, martial arts may not be as practical as boxing. Lakadi is also bigger than Wang Xiao."

Zhang Jun wasn't too worried about this. He knew that Wang Xiao was known as the "Little Bully" on the street where he opened a martial arts gym in Shanghai. He had even publicly defeated a Taekwondo coach before. Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage in size against Lacadi, even if he couldn't win, protecting himself shouldn't be a problem.

Lakadi is nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighs more than 70 kilograms. He looks a lot bigger than Wang Xiao.

As long as Wang Xiao and Lacadi don't lose too badly in the fight, everyone will accept it.

After all, the two of them have body sizes that are there for everyone to see.

If public opinion is controlled a little more, perhaps there won't be much negative impact on Wang Xiao.

Zhang Jun said with a hint of resignation, "This was Master Wang's own request! You know his temper and personality. Just announce Master Wang's decision truthfully. If Lakadi doesn't accept it, that's the best outcome. If he does, we have a backup plan."

Zhang Jun's backup plan was to immediately admit defeat and end the fight if he saw that Wang Xiao couldn't hold on any longer.

Liang Bing felt a little relieved after hearing Zhang Jun's words, and then said: "Okay. Wang Xiao is so anxious to participate in the competition, are you confident in tomorrow's competition?"

Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, the competition in this full marathon isn't as fierce as the half marathon in Beijing. If Master Wang can perform to his full potential, winning the championship shouldn't be a problem. At the very least, a top-three finish should be a sure thing."

Wang Xiao joined the competition too hastily, and Zhang Jun didn't dare to tell Liang Bing what results Wang Xiao could achieve. He also didn't have enough confidence in Wang Xiao.

Liang Bing: "Okay, thank you Director Zhang, I understand. Please arrange an exclusive interview with Wang Xiao for me!"

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Master Wang. As for whether he agrees or not, I don't know. I'll get back to you when the time comes."

Liang Bing: "Okay, please help Director Zhang."

hang up the phone.

Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Sun Hong to ask if there was any familiar fighting club in Chengdu that could serve as the fighting venue for Wang Xiao and Lakadi the day after tomorrow!

……

Liang Bing is also a media person of the new era, and what matters most is efficiency.

After getting the exclusive news from Zhang Jun, she immediately forwarded it to the editorial department and asked them to publish it immediately!

Then, in less than a minute, Liang Bing's exclusive news appeared in the official media of the Shanghai sports circle.

"Wang Xiao publicly announces that he has accepted Lacadi's unlimited fighting challenge! The time is the day after tomorrow, and the location is in Chengdu! Both parties are requested to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship and stop when the time comes..."

As soon as this news came out, many people who were paying attention to it became excited instantly. Other media outlets also reprinted the news and then processed it themselves.

"Wang Xiao declared Lacadi a coward and that he would defeat Lacadi."

"After Wang Xiao is declared the champion, it's time to defeat Lacadi."

"Here comes Lacadi's chance for revenge."

……

Sports media both at home and abroad are reprinting the news, and it has even gone beyond the circle. Many entertainment media are reprinting it crazily to take advantage of this wave of traffic.

Lacadi was still in the hotel lobby, holding an ice pack to his swollen cheek, and angrily complained to several media reporters: "They are cowards. They only attack me and then run away! If he dares to accept my challenge, I will let him know how powerful my fist is."

At this moment, a media reporter hurried in and shouted to Lacadi, "Mr. Lacadi, Mr. Wang Xiao just announced that he has accepted your unlimited fighting challenge. The time is the day after tomorrow, and the location is in Chengdu! Do you accept?"

Lacadi was stunned for a moment, staring at the reporters who were crowding in with wide eyes: "Are you serious? He accepted it?"

The reporter immediately nodded excitedly and said affirmatively, "Yes, it was officially reported by the Magic City Sports News. Wang Xiao's agent announced the news to them, so it's official news and must be true. Also, I heard that they have already booked tomorrow's champion and said they will defeat you on the court and then in the ring."

Obviously, the reporter was worried that the matter was not big enough, so he exaggerated it.

Lacadi's eyes widened and he roared, "Bullshit! He can't possibly win the championship. I'll show him how powerful I am in the ring. Help me announce that I accept his challenge. The time is the day after tomorrow, and the location is in Rongcheng."

The many media reporters at the scene and other athletes who were watching the fun were all very excited.

There's something exciting to watch again.

The media reporters have no interest in tomorrow's game. They wish it would end immediately and fast forward to the day after tomorrow. How can watching a large group of people running around boringly for more than two hours be as exciting as watching a fist-fight?
Several other top marathon runners from home and abroad were also excited, hoping that Lacadi could cause trouble for Wang Xiao and affect Wang Xiao's performance in the game, so that they would have a chance to defeat Wang Xiao and win the championship.

Although……

Many international athletes publicly questioned Wang Xiao's achievements in the media, questioning whether it was possible for ordinary people to participate in such high-intensity competitions continuously.

However, most of them also recognized Wang Xiao's strength. They all knew that Hua Xia's urine test results should be fine, not to mention the IAAF retest. They just saw many people and the media questioning Wang Xiao, so they followed suit.

But they all knew in their hearts that Wang Xiao won the championship in both Shanghai and Beijing by relying on his true strength.

in case……

If Wang Xiao can still display the strength he showed in the two matches between Magic City and Beijing City, then they really don’t have much confidence in defeating Wang Xiao.

They could only hope that Wang Xiao's hasty participation in the competition affected his physical strength, and that the unlimited fighting competition with Lakadi would also affect Wang Xiao's competitive state.

Then Wang Xiao's strength will drop by at least two levels, and several top international players will have a chance to win the championship.

After Lacadi finished speaking to several media reporters, he walked towards several black athletes and whispered, "Hey, brothers, do you want to win the championship?"

These black athletes are among the top ten in the international marathon professional athlete rankings. If Wang Xiao had not suddenly appeared, they would have already booked the championship and the top three places in this Chengdu Professional Marathon.

Lacadi looked at a black athlete and said, "Phyllis, do you want to win the championship? If Wang Xiao hadn't appeared, you would be the number one seed for the championship and have the greatest chance of winning!"

Phyllis is a low-key and cautious African athlete. Unlike Ed, Simmons, Wardy and others who openly targeted Wang Xiao, he just quietly participated in the competition and tried to achieve the best results.

However, after hearing what Lacadi said, Phyllis was very moved and asked softly, "What do you want to do?"

Lacadi looked at Phyllis and the others, smiled, and said, "After the competition starts tomorrow, I will help you cripple Wang Xiao and prevent him from continuing to participate in the competition. No matter who wins, I will give me half of the prize money!"

Phyllis and several others listened, looked at each other, and were very moved.

If it weren't for Wang Xiao, they would indeed have the best chance of winning the championship, and the other Chinese players and European and American players would not be a concern at all.

Long-distance running is a sport dominated by African athletes.

Asir, another top-10 marathon runner, looked around and asked cautiously in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

Lacadi grinned and said, "Don't worry about what I do, just do you want to make this deal?"

Asir nodded and said, "Okay. If you disable him and prevent him from competing, and I win the championship, I'll give you half of the prize money!"

The champion prize money for the Chengdu Professional Men's Full Marathon Race is as much as 50,000 US dollars, which is on the same level as the Shanghai Professional Full Marathon Race. If you break the Chinese record, the prize money will be doubled, and if you break the world record, the prize money will be doubled again, and you can get triple the prize money!
If they win, they can get at least 50,000 US dollars in prize money. After giving half to Lacadi, they will still have 25,000 US dollars left, which is already a lot for both of them!

Phyllis also nodded: "Okay, I agree!"

Lacadi laughed and looked at the other two.

The other two looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Okay, we agree too. But only if you really cripple him and prevent him from finishing the race."

Lacadi said in a firm tone: "Of course, you can watch my performance tomorrow."

There was a glint of cruelty in Lakadi's eyes.

Unlimited fighting after birth?

He will show Wang Xiao what a man is tomorrow.

After finalizing the deal, Lacadi bumped fists with a few others as an agreement, then turned and walked back to his room to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game.

He had no hope of winning the championship anyway, so he didn't want to see Wang Xiao win.

…………

Wang Xiao pulled Yang Xiaoyu into the room and gently hugged her.

Yang Xiaoyu's body suddenly stiffened slightly.

This was the first time the two of them were so close, and it was also the first time she was so close to the opposite sex.

Wang Xiao took a deep breath of the fresh scent on Yang Xiaoyu's body, ruffled Yang Xiaoyu's ponytail, then looked at Yang Xiaoyu's delicate and beautiful face and said, "Xiaoyu, thank you for helping me just now."

Grandpa and parents passed away one after another.

Wang Xiao has been supporting the martial arts school alone for several years, and he also has to take care of his younger sister and pay for her college education. He has long forgotten what it feels like to have someone holding an umbrella for him.

He now just felt warm in his heart and was willing to do anything for Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu looked up at Wang Xiao, met his eyes, and smiled sweetly, "I said I would protect you."

After saying that, Yang Xiaoyu's stiff body gradually became soft, and her head rested gently on Wang Xiao's chest.

Yang Xiaoyu also lost her parents and was later sent by her uncle Yang Qianshan to learn martial arts. She also experienced a long period of loneliness. At this moment, she felt extremely warm and at ease in her heart.

The two stopped talking and just snuggled together in the hotel living room, feeling the support of each other.

I was a little bored for a few minutes.

The two separated and began to talk about martial arts, tomorrow's competition, and the no-holds-barred fight with Lacadi the day after tomorrow.

"Are you confident for tomorrow's game? If not, prioritize your health. Don't force yourself to achieve good results. If you overdraw your body and develop hidden injuries, the result will be more harm than good."

"I know, just trust me."

"I believe you!"

"Zhou He's strength is indeed very strong. He must have just condensed it not long ago, so his explosive strength is still relatively weak. How about you? Have you started to condense your strength?"

"Almost there, I feel like my boxing skills are almost perfect! How's your Liuhe Cannon Strength? It takes three years for Zhouhe to condense the strength. If you can do that within three years, you'll be very strong."

"I don't need three years!"

"I believe you."

The two chatted for a while and then started practicing boxing together.

In order to prepare for tomorrow's competition, Wang Xiao did not practice Liuhe Pao Jin to add burden to his body, but continued to practice Liuhe Quan and Tan Tui, regulating his body with internal Qi and blood, participating in the competition in the best condition, and practicing Tan Tui to continue to improve leg control and strength.

Wang Xiao looked at the information of several boxing techniques.

Liuhequan: Great Accomplishment (989/20000).

Springy Kick: Minor Success (860/5000).

Tiger Fist: Proficient (320/500).

Liuhe Cannon Power: Proficient (51/500).

Tiger Roar: Proficiency (30/500).

Long distance running: Dacheng (1032/20000).

In two days, except for long-distance running, all other skills have been improved to varying degrees.

Wang Xiao stared at the Liuhe Pao Jin, and he felt more and more clearly that his understanding of the condensed Jin was becoming more profound and proficient.

He must win tomorrow's game!
