Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Zhang Jianyun drove Han Jiaqi to a restaurant and treated her to dinner.

"Order whatever you want," Zhang Jianyun said after they sat down.

Looking at the menu, Han Jiaqi ordered a plate of chicken rice noodles, garlic ribs, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, and potato pancakes.

"Are you checking into the villa today?" Han Jiaqi asked after ordering the food.

Zhang Jianyun nodded. "I'm staying in a hotel now, so of course I'll move into the house after I buy it."

"There's only some basic furniture in the villa; you'll need to add some nicer pieces," Han Jiaqi said with a smile.

"Take it slow, I don't have high requirements for living conditions," Zhang Jianyun said.

Soon after, the restaurant waiter brought the dishes over, and the two began to eat.

"Are you still in university?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"Yes, I'm a junior at Southeast University of Science and Technology, and I work part-time as a salesperson in my spare time," Han Jiaqi said.

"Was that person one of your former suitors?" Zhang Jianyun asked curiously.

"Hmph, a good-for-nothing rich kid." Han Jiaqi sneered.

"You're still a junior in college and you already have your own car, your family must be well-off."

"Well, it's alright, but I can't keep relying on my family forever, I have to find my own money."

The two chatted casually for a while before finishing their meal.

"Are you going back to the villa now?" Han Jiaqi asked as they walked out of the restaurant.

"Well, I have nowhere else to go right now."

"Why don't we go watch an underground boxing match? We can even place bets on who will win," Han Jiaqi said excitedly.

"An underground boxing match?" Zhang Jianyun asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's the place where illegal gambling is held. I often go there to earn some extra money," Han Jiaqi said.

"Was the fight intense?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"Of course it's intense, and people can even get killed," Han Jiaqi said.

"Okay, take me to see it."

"Okay, you drive behind me."

Immediately afterwards, Han Jiaqi took Zhang Jianyun to the place where the underground boxing match was being held.

The boxing match was to be held at a resort outside the city. When they arrived at the resort entrance, the two were stopped by the resort's security guards.

"What are you doing here?" the security guard asked.

Han Jiaqi immediately pulled out an admission pass and showed it to the security guard, "This is my friend."

The security guard glanced at the admission pass and then let us through.

The two got into the car, drove into the resort, and parked the car in the parking lot. Han Jiaqi then led Zhang Jianyun into a villa.

After entering the villa, a hidden door was pushed open, leading to an underground boxing ring.

The boxing ring was packed with people and bustling with excitement.

Zhang Jianyun looked around and saw that there were two boxing rings in the boxing arena. At this moment, on one of the rings, two boxers were warming up and preparing for the match.

"The betting area is up ahead, let's go place our bets." Han Jiaqi led Zhang Jianyun to the bar.

"Are you two going to place a bet?" a waiter at the bar asked enthusiastically.

Han Jiaqi glanced at the odds board hanging on the wall behind the bar, then looked at the odds for the match that was about to start, and took out her phone.

"I bet on Tyson to win, 3000 yuan." Han Jiaqi took out her phone, scanned the QR code on the bar, filled in her personal information, and made the payment.

"Do you want to place a bet?"

"I don't know anything about either of them," Zhang Jianyun said.

"No need to know anything, just look at the odds. The odds for these two are not that different. Tyson has odds of 1 to 1.4, and Marcus has odds of 1 to 1.23, which means that their strengths are about the same. You can just place your bets. It's just for entertainment, and boxing is a very unpredictable sport. Even if there is a big difference in strength, the stronger side is not necessarily guaranteed to win," Han Jiaqi said.

"Then I'll bet 3000 yuan on Tyson too." Zhang Jianyun also took out his phone, downloaded and registered a chat app, linked his bank card, then scanned the bar's QR code, filled in his personal information, and placed a 3000 yuan bet on Tyson.

"Quick, the match has started." Han Jiaqi led Zhang Jianyun to the boxing ring and watched the match with the crowd.

"Which one is Tyson?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"I don't know it either, I missed the opening introduction," Han Jiaqi said.

After listening to the shouts of the people around them for a while, Zhang Jianyun and Han Jiaqi finally confirmed that Tyson, who was wearing blue shorts, and Ma Heng, who was wearing black shorts.

Bang bang bang!

clap clap clap!

Tyson and Marcus fought fiercely on the ring, exchanging blows and clashing muscles.

Sensing the fluctuations in the emotions of those around him, Zhang Jianyun seemed to sense the flow of hostility. He wondered if he could go on stage to participate in a boxing match and reap some hostility points.

Thinking of this, he asked Han Jiaqi beside him, "How can I sign up for the competition?"

"You're going to participate in the competition?" Han Jiaqi asked, somewhat surprised.

Zhang Jianyun nodded: "I want to go up and experience the atmosphere of the competition."

"Don't go, it's easy to get hurt," Han Jiaqi said.

"It's alright, I used to practice martial arts, this kind of competition is a piece of cake for me," Zhang Jianyun said confidently.

"Alright, I'll take you to their office to find the manager of the boxing ring," Han Jiaqi said, leading Zhang Jianyun to the boxing ring's office.

"You want to participate in the competition?" Liu Sheng, the manager of the boxing ring, asked the thin Zhang Jianyun in surprise.

"I want to sign up for the competition," Zhang Jianyun repeated.

"Participating in a boxing match requires signing a life-or-death agreement with us. If you get killed in the ring, no one will collect your body," Liu Sheng said.

"No problem, I'll sign with you," Zhang Jianyun said nonchalantly.

"Okay, we need to assess your capabilities before signing," Liu Sheng said.

"How do you identify it?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"Come with me," Liu Sheng said, leading Zhang Jianyun to the testing room.

"You stand here. When I say 'start,' you strike this bag continuously with your fastest speed and strongest force for one minute so we can assess your strength," Liu Sheng said.

"Okay," Zhang Jianyun said, and walked over to stand in line.

Liu Sheng found the equipment and said, "Get ready to begin. I'll count to three and then we'll start."

"one"

"two"

"three"

"start!"

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Zhang Jianyun quickly threw punches, repeatedly striking the leather bag.

It was over in no time, in just one minute.

Looking at the data displayed on the instrument, Liu Sheng remained silent.

"How was my strength?"

Zhang Jianyun walked up to Liu Sheng and asked him a question.

Liu Sheng glared at Zhang Jianyun: "200 punches per minute, averaging 5000 jin of force per punch, and you still want to box?"

"Am I not strong enough? Let's test again. I didn't use my full strength just now." Zhang Jianyun said, taking a step to walk back to the testing position.

"Master~" Liu Sheng grabbed Zhang Jianyun.

"Sir, with your strength, there's no need for you to come and play in our little pond. None of the boxers here would be a match for you."

"What? I can't box with you guys?" Zhang Jianyun's voice was a little loud.

"Sir, it's not that you can't fight, it's just that you're too strong. The boxers here are no match for you, and you won't gain anything by fighting here," Liu Sheng hurriedly said.

"I'll just have one match to get a feel for the atmosphere. Nobody else knows my strength, so you guys just shouldn't tell anyone," Zhang Jianyun said.

"You're just playing one game for fun?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Of course, do you think I'd be fighting here all the time with my skills?" Zhang Jianyun said.

"One match is fine, consider it sparring with you. Do you want to fight now or when?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Now," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Alright, I'll go arrange a boxer for you." Liu Sheng said, turning and leaving.

"You're not going to sign the life-or-death agreement?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"Sir, just don't kill or maim the boxer you're fighting," Liu Sheng said with a smile before leaving.

As soon as Liu Sheng left, Han Jiaqi looked at Zhang Jianyun curiously: "This is the first time I've heard of someone being too strong to participate in a boxing match. You're not a legitimate martial artist, are you?"

"I'd say I'm a martial artist," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Are you really a martial artist? What realm are you at now?" Han Jiaqi asked in surprise.

"It's not really a realm of power." Zhang Jianyun didn't say much, as he didn't know if the power system of this world was the same as that of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Liu Sheng returned shortly afterward.

"Sir, your boxer has been arranged. You can go into the ring now. You need to change your clothes," Liu Sheng said.

"Can."

Immediately, Zhang Jianyun took off his clothes and put on a boxer's short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

"Sir, since you're just playing around, we won't be offering betting on this match," Liu Sheng said.

"No way," Zhang Jianyun said immediately.

"I just want to see how many people have the discerning eye to recognize my talent and will place their bets on me."

"Sir, we can't offer these odds," Liu Sheng said with a mournful face.

"Just drive however you want. I'll hold back later so no one can see my strength," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Alright," Liu Sheng said helplessly.

Afterwards, Liu Sheng personally led Zhang Jianyun to the boxing ring.

"Sir, 123 people have already placed bets on you to win," Liu Sheng said.

"How many people have bet on my opponent?" Zhang Jianyun asked with concern.

"There are 240 people. Perhaps most people are more familiar with Lu Jin, so more people are betting on him to win," Liu Sheng said.

"How strong is Lukin among the boxers here?"

"We're in the top tier, with top-tier strength," Liu Sheng replied.

Zhang Jianyun stepped onto the boxing ring under Liu Sheng's guidance.

"Shh"

When the audience saw how thin Zhang Jianyun was when he came on stage, they immediately started booing.

"Give me my money back. The boxing ring must have done this on purpose, arranging for this guy to fight Lu Jin, and the odds are even higher for him."

"The boxing ring must be obsessed with money, daring to arrange for someone like this to fight Lu Jin."

"Haha, luckily it was Lu Jin who placed the bet, otherwise I'd have to raise the stakes."

"Take it easy, betting is still open. If the boxing ring dares to let him out and meet everyone at this time, they're definitely not worried about people betting to win."

Suddenly, all sorts of opinions arose.

"come on!"

As soon as Zhang Jianyun stepped onto the stage, Han Jiaqi raised her hands in encouragement.

"Get out of here."

The angry crowd began throwing things at Zhang Jianyun and shouting for the boxing ring to cancel the match.

At this moment, Lu Jin also stepped onto the boxing ring.

Upon seeing Zhang Jianyun, he was taken aback. Before the match, Liu Sheng had told him that a super strong fighter was coming to fight a boxing match to experience the atmosphere, and that he should just perform.

But now that I see Zhang Jianyun, he looks so delicate and thin, he doesn't look like a super strong person at all.

"Hello, I'm Lu Jin."

"Hello, my name is Luo Yue."

Then a drumbeat signaled the start of the competition.

Although Zhang Jianyun did not appear to be a strongman, Lu Jin did not dare to be careless. He circled Zhang Jianyun tentatively before throwing a punch at Zhang Jianyun's stomach.

boom!

Zhang Jianyun deflected Lu Jin's punch with only a very weak force.

However, even this small amount of power, which was very weak to him, had already shocked Lu Jin, making him realize that what Liu Sheng said was true, and that the person in front of him was indeed a super strong person.

The onlookers, seeing Lu Jin fighting so timidly, started cursing and urging him to end the fight quickly.

Bang bang bang!

clap clap clap!

shhhhhh!

Hoo-ha hoo-ha!

Zhang Jianyun and Lu Jin exchanged punches, their back-and-forth blows keeping the onlookers on the edge of their seats.

However, Lu Jin knew that Zhang Jianyun was playing him like a monkey, suppressing him and leading him by the nose in both offense and defense, leaving him with virtually no room to maneuver.

He wanted to end the match immediately, but he was worried about offending Zhang Jianyun, so he could only grit his teeth and endure the nausea and discomfort, and keep up with Zhang Jianyun's moves.

Gradually, the onlookers also noticed something amiss and realized that Lu Jin was no match for Zhang Jianyun.

"Damn it, we've suffered a huge loss, Lu Jin is going to lose."

"Who is this guy? I've never seen him before, yet he's been dominating Lu Jin the whole time. Is there anyone in the boxing ring who can beat him?"

"No wonder the boxing ring only offered odds of 1 to 1.08. I didn't expect this guy to be so strong. Those who paid bribes have really lost out this time."

"Haha, just now when this guy came out, someone put up 20 yuan more money to bet on Lu Jinying. Now he's lost a lot of money."

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Lu Jin's fans."

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Lu Jin's fans."

······

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Lu Jin's fans."

The hostility I've received is likely all from people who bet on the road to win.

Gaining hostility points was too easy. He continued to suppress Lu Jin, making Lu Jin's face turn red, filled with shame and anger, and extremely frustrated.

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Lu Jin's fans."

"You have received 100 points of hostility from Lu Jin's fans."

······

Zhang Jianyun gained another 8000 hostility points. He sensed that Lu Jin was on the verge of a mental breakdown, so he ended the fight by punching Lu Jin to the ground.

Silence.

After Zhang Jianyun knocked down Lu Jin, he jumped off the boxing ring. The onlookers fell silent, their eyes fixed on Zhang Jianyun's departing figure, as if they were deeply shocked by his strength.

"Who is he? How is he so strong that he's actually overpowering Lu Jinda?"

"He can overpower Lu Jin, could he be a legitimate martial artist?"

"A proper martial artist comes back here to box?"

People were talking about it, constantly speculating about Zhang Jianyun's identity and strength.

"Haha, I bet everything I had on you to win, and I made tens of thousands of dollars." Han Jiaqi said excitedly as she walked out of the underground boxing ring.

"Where are there any boxing rings, places where the boxers are really good?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

Han Jiaqi thought for a moment and said, "I know a place that also has underground boxing, where powerful martial artists go to fight, but ordinary people can't get in."

"Where is it?" Zhang Jianyun asked hurriedly.

"That boxing ring is on Qixia Mountain."

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
