Chapter 126: Looo!
"Black cat? What black cat? I don't remember it," Xiao Wang said, pretending not to know.
"It's the black cat who fights in underground boxing rings, the one I mentioned last time, the one who fights while wearing a black cat mask."
"Oh, I remember now, you seemed to have said something like that, what happened?"
"Didn't I say last time that the black cat was a great boxer? Wasn't it cool?"
"Hmm, and then?"
"Those are all rumors. They say that Black Cat's boxing is really cool, but he's just a little stronger than the average person. It's not as exciting as people say."
"Oh? Really? You went to see it back then?" Xiao Wang asked.
"Not then, just last night, I heard there was a Black Cat showing, so I bought a ticket to go see it. Let me tell you, the ticket cost 50,000 Federal Dollars. But after watching it, it was just so-so, not nearly as amazing as people said."
Xiao Wang listened and was stunned. He was clearly monitoring Liu Hong last night, so how could he have gone to box?
Are you sure you watched the Black Cat show?
"Of course, the promotion is about the Black Cat, and the boxers also wear Black Cat masks when they enter the ring. How could it be fake?"
Xiao Wang immediately understood: the boxing gym was using the name of Black Cat to sell tickets and make money.
But this is for the best, because apart from a few people, no one knows or cares who the real black cat is anymore.
Furthermore, it's possible that not only Wei Tieshan's boxing ring, but other underground boxing rings are also using the Black Cat name to sell high-priced tickets and make money.
Which underground boxing ring did you go to?
"The one on Hongtai Road."
Sure enough, other boxing rings were also using the Black Cat name to make a quick buck.
Seeing Xiao Wang's reaction, Chu Wenlong immediately realized what was going on.
"Brother Wang, do you think the black cat I saw might not be a real black cat? Or maybe the boxing ring hired someone to impersonate it?"
"Who knows? Wearing a mask, you can't tell who's who. And the black cat mask isn't anything rare; it's one of a kind."
"Yeah! These boxing ring owners are really cunning; they charge such high ticket prices for fake ones."
"If the ticket price is low, people won't be able to tell it's fake at a glance. On the contrary, the higher the price, the more people will go. If he sells tickets for one or two hundred federal dollars each, would you go to see it?"
"That's true."
……
The morning's academic classes were still a comprehensive review.
Xiao Wang listened attentively throughout the lesson and didn't take the upcoming challenge too seriously, but Guan Chaoyang next to him was even more excited than Xiao Wang, constantly guessing at the updated ranking list.
"It's very likely that the 27th ranked person will come; I've heard he's also someone who thinks highly of himself."
"And this one, from number 8, is also ranked very similarly to you."
"besides……"
Guan Chaoyang kept guessing the list of challengers who might appear next.
Bian Xiaolan, who was in the front row, would occasionally turn around and chime in, "Xiao Wang, why don't you seem nervous at all?"
"What's there to be nervous about? Didn't I tell you? If you can't beat them, just surrender."
"No, you're really planning to surrender?"
"Otherwise what?"
"How can you, a man, let yourself down at crucial moments? Do you do this too?"
Xiao Wang: ? ? ?
The morning's academic classes passed quickly.
As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, many students skipped their meals and rushed straight to the martial arts training hall in order to secure a good viewing spot.
Besides the students, many teachers also went to watch the match. Among them, martial arts teacher He Tao went straight there without even having a meal.
Xiao Wang remained unhurried and headed straight for the cafeteria, just like always.
"Seriously? You can still eat at a time like this?" Guan Chaoyang exclaimed in surprise.
"Why can't I eat? I've been hungry for ages."
Guan Chaoyang and Bian Xiaolan hadn't planned to eat, but when they saw Xiao Wang heading towards the cafeteria, they followed him there.
On the way, he ran into some classmates who knew Xiao Wang, and they all cheered him on.
"Xiao Wang, keep it up, take them down!"
"Xiao Wang, let's just do it. Do you really think we No. 7 Middle School are easy to bully?"
Xiao Wang simply nodded in response to these words, without reacting too excitedly.
His classmates reacted even more excitedly than he did.
After finishing their meal, the three headed towards the training hall. From afar, they could see crowds continuously pouring into the training hall.
Not only students from No. 7 Middle School, but also many students from other schools who came in through the main gate.
It wasn't just martial arts students; many students from other disciplines also came.
Xiao Wang and his two companions walked straight toward the training hall gate. From a distance, they saw Chu Wenlong waiting at the entrance, with An Han standing a little further away.
Xiao Wang walked directly towards An Han.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"
"Never mind me. Remember, don't hold back when you strike. Killing him wouldn't be good, so cripple him instead."
Xiao Wang: ...
After An Han finished speaking, she took the lollipop stick in her mouth and chewed it, trying to squeeze out the little bit from the tube.
Chu Wenlong and the others approached. "Brother Wang, I just went in to take a look. Sure enough, Feng Jingsheng, who ranked tenth, has arrived. You'd better be prepared."
"It's alright, he might not make a move. By the way, where are Huangfu Tianyi and Nangong Qianrou, who are ranked first and second? Have they arrived yet?"
"I haven't seen anyone yet, and I don't know if they'll come back."
"It's nothing, I was just asking. Who cares? Let's go in and take a look."
As Xiao Wang spoke, he led the group inside.
The training hall was packed with people, especially the higher and better spots, which were even more crowded.
When Xiao Wang appeared at the door, it caused a commotion.
"Here he comes, Xiao Wang is here."
Inspired by the students from No. 7 Middle School, those who had come to watch the spectacle but didn't know Xiao Wang before now focused their attention on him.
"This is Xiao Wang?"
"You know what, regardless of his martial arts skills, he's quite handsome."
Xiao Wang appeared calm and composed as he led the group through the passage cleared by the crowd and walked directly to the center of the training ground, onto an open space that the people had automatically made way for.
Chu Wenlong, Guan Chaoyang, Bian Xiaolan, An Han, and the others followed Xiao Wang to the front of the crowd.
Xiao Wang stood in the center of the venue and scanned the huge crowd, most of whom were unfamiliar faces.
Among these people, Xiao Wang immediately spotted martial arts teacher He Tao, who was standing in a good position with a great view. Beside him were many other teachers from other subjects.
When Xiao Wang and He Tao's eyes met, He Tao gave Xiao Wang a thumbs-up.
Xiao Wang nodded at him in response.
At this moment, Chu Wenlong walked to Xiao Wang's side and whispered a reminder: "Brother Wang, the one on the left wearing the floral clothes is Feng Jingsheng, who is ranked tenth."
Xiao Wang looked in the direction Chu Wenlong had indicated and indeed saw a person dressed in brightly colored floral clothes.
This person was about 1.8 meters tall. In addition to his brightly colored floral clothes, he was also wearing a pair of shiny flat leather shoes. But what was most eye-catching was his hairstyle, a standard rooster comb, which was also made into a jagged shape.
Xiao Wang looked at it; the hairstyle had a somewhat punk vibe.
Seeing Xiao Wang looking over, he met Xiao Wang's gaze directly, looking arrogant, and used his hands to comb his hair to the middle, while flicking his teeth at Xiao Wang.
"Clang!"
