The referee rushed behind Long Xiao, watching the little fatty fall off the stage, unsure what to do.
"Foul, Long Xiao fouled."
"Yeah, the little fatty jumped off himself."
"It doesn't count, the little fatty wasn't knocked off by Long Xiao, Long Xiao didn't win."
Long Xiao didn't care about winning or losing; defeating the little fatty wasn't difficult. The little fatty's strength was indeed the lowest among the four.
Long Xiao turned back to the center of the ring, appearing indifferent, as if the little fatty falling off the stage had nothing to do with him.
At the unanimous demand of the audience and the various presidents of the Martial Alliance, the little fatty returned to the stage to resume the match with Long Xiao.
"Fatty, even you think you just accidentally fell off?" Long Xiao asked the little fatty with a smile.
The little fatty hesitated for a moment and said, "I just accidentally fell off."
Seeing the confident little fatty, Long Xiao smiled and said, "I'll knock you off again, and let's see what you say then."
The referee let the little fatty rest for a few minutes. Long Xiao casually waved for Xue Kai to bring his people closer to the stage, and he started his live broadcast.
Xue Kai's live stream followers surged again. Long Xiao pointed at the little fatty and said, "My brother Kai said he wants me to finish this little fatty decisively and let him know what shamelessness is."
The live stream started to interact, with fans supporting Long Xiao skyrocketing, and more and more gifts were sent.
When the little fatty had rested, the referee called Long Xiao back to the stage.
Due to the situation in the venue, major television stations were broadcasting live. Therefore, everyone watching TV across China knew that Xue Kai was an acquaintance of Long Xiao. Many people were inquiring about his name and entering his live stream.
Long Xiao returned to the stage and asked, "How should we fight this time? Let's make the rules clear, so you don't say he jumped off if I knock him down."
"The rules remain the same. If you want to win, you must truly knock him off," the referee said.
Long Xiao looked at the referee and gave a cold smile, "You said it yourself, no backing out."
The referee announced the start again. Long Xiao slowly approached the little fatty. This time, the little fatty was more cautious and also slowly approached Long Xiao.
As Long Xiao approached the little fatty, he walked towards the edge of the stage. The little fatty didn't notice, his eyes were only on Long Xiao.
When the little fatty charged at Long Xiao like a cannonball again, Long Xiao swayed and dodged him.
The little fatty missed Long Xiao. Before he could regain his balance, Long Xiao kicked him in the backside.
The speed of "Chimei Xiaoyao Bu" far surpassed "Gui Xuan," leaving the little fatty no time to react before being kicked off the stage.
The entire venue fell silent. Last time, Long Xiao had fought with the little fatty for a while, but this time, one kick solved the problem.
Long Xiao walked towards the referee and said, "Does this still not count? Do you want another round?"
The audience supporting Long Xiao grew in number, and some began to shout loudly, "It doesn't count, another round! The little fatty likes to have his butt kicked."
"Another round," a group of people chanted, shouting in unison.
The referee knew that if he didn't announce Long Xiao as the winner soon, the audience would dare to rush onto the stage and smash it.
When the referee announced Long Xiao as the winner, the venue erupted in thunderous cheers.
Afterward, the little fatty rested for a while and competed against Mei Xiaotian for third place. Since Long Xiao had completely crushed the little fatty's fighting spirit, and Mei Xiaotian also used "Gui Xuan," Mei Xiaotian defeated the little fatty without much effort.
In the afternoon, Long Xiao and Zhu Kai would compete for first place. Even if Long Xiao lost, Donghai would still be second. For the Donghai Martial Alliance, which hadn't been qualified to participate in such competitions for many years, even second place made Zheng Dongyang ecstatic.
During lunch, Zheng Dongyang was effusive with his praise, complimenting Mei Xiaotian and encouraging Long Xiao.
Mei Xiaotian raised his glass to Long Xiao, expressing his gratitude. He realized that Long Xiao had toyed with the little fatty to create an advantageous situation for him.
Long Xiao held up his glass and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite, Brother Mei. I learned your 'Gui Xuan' footwork, so naturally, I should give you some benefit."
To this day, Mei Xiaotian still couldn't believe that Long Xiao's "Gui Xuan" footwork was learned by stealing during their previous match.
"Did you really learn my 'Gui Xuan' from me?" Mei Xiaotian asked.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, but after I learned it from our last match, Long Xiao taught me some more. Now, the 'Gui Xuan' I use should be stronger than yours."
"Long Xiao knows 'Gui Xuan' footwork?" Lu Xin asked in surprise upon hearing Long Xiao and Mei Xiaotian's conversation.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, his 'Gui Xuan' footwork was learned from the Luo family. There are quite a few footwork techniques that I haven't seen Xiaotian use."
Long Xiao had watched Zhu Kai and Mei Xiaotian's match and realized that if he only used "Gui Xuan" footwork, he might not be able to dodge Zhu Kai's attacks. He planned to incorporate some "Chimei Xiaoyao Bu" into his "Gui Xuan" footwork in the afternoon.
Soon, the afternoon match time arrived. Before the competition, Xue Kai started a live broadcast and interviewed Long Xiao.
The few-minute interview ended quickly, and Long Xiao walked onto the stage.
This time, Long Xiao said no nonsense. Zhu Kai looked at Long Xiao, and a slight smile appeared on his rigid face.
"Fight well, I want to see your full strength," Zhu Kai said.
Long Xiao nodded slightly and replied, "I also want to see your full strength."
The referee looked at Long Xiao strangely, waiting for him to say something frivolous. However, neither he nor Zhu Kai spoke further.
The match was announced to begin. Long Xiao and Zhu Kai stared at each other, neither making the first move.
"Hu Lei, you go first."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Alright, are you ready?"
Zhu Kai nodded. Long Xiao used "Gui Xuan" footwork and Zheng family boxing, lunging towards Zhu Kai.
Zhu Kai advanced with his punches, fighting steadily and not giving Long Xiao any chance for close-quarters combat.
They exchanged over a hundred blows, and neither managed to land a hit on the other.
The spectators were silent, even the commentators spoke less, as if afraid of disturbing their fight.
The first round ended quickly. Both retreated. Long Xiao sat in his designated spot, closed his eyes, and began to analyze the fight.
If he used the Five Elements Qi, defeating Zhu Kai would take less than three minutes. But without using Five Elements Qi, to defeat him, he would need to use "Chimei Xiaoyao Bu" and his left hand.
The second round began. Long Xiao started to intersperse "Chimei Xiaoyao Bu" into his "Gui Xuan" footwork.
Initially, only a few steps were mixed in, and it wasn't skillful, so the speed didn't increase much. After a few minutes, Long Xiao gradually became accustomed to the combined footwork, and his speed increased.
This time, Long Xiao stopped using Zheng family boxing and switched to "Long Xing Shou."
Zhu Kai immediately felt the pressure. He found that no matter how he dodged, Long Xiao's two hands were constantly moving around his body.
Long Xiao's "Long Xing Shou" incorporated "Fen Jin Cuo Gu Shou" (Muscle and Bone Dislocation Technique), and Zhu Kai soon fell victim.
Long Xiao grabbed Zhu Kai's left arm with his right hand and shook it. As Zhu Kai swung his fist towards Long Xiao, Long Xiao's left hand struck towards his fist.
With a bang, Zhu Kai retreated several steps, reaching the edge of the stage, his back leaning against the guardrail.
Although Long Xiao also retreated more than ten steps, he used "Chimei Xiaoyao Bu" to absorb the impact force of Zhu Kai's punch.
Zhu Kai's left arm was dislocated, and his right arm was numb and trembling from the impact of Long Xiao's punch.
Long Xiao did not press his advantage and immediately requested a rest.
Zhu Kai sat in his spot, and his master immediately came forward to reset his dislocated arm.
"Zhu Kai, can you still fight? If not, concede," Zhu Kai's master asked.
Zhu Kai nodded and said, "Master, I can't beat him, but I don't want to concede so early."
"Fight, if you don't defeat Hu Lei, you won't have another chance to become champion,"
Long Xiao was younger than Zhu Kai. This competition had an age limit of under thirty. If he lost this year, the possibility of defeating Long Xiao next year would be extremely slim, and he would likely never have the chance to become the champion of such a competition again.
