Chapter 21 More Than Just Resilient
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant,” Scott thought. “Alright! I agree!”
"The club is holding a competition soon, and I'll let you play the first match! It's this afternoon."
"No problem, the sooner the better."
Scott smiled and extended his hand: "Then please get ready, buddy. I wish us both a win in this afternoon's match."
Zhou Yuan nodded, shook hands with him, felt his phone vibrate repeatedly, said hello, and then left the club.
I opened my phone and saw a message from Xinghe on March 7th.
Zhou Yuan casually created a group chat for four people and invited the three of them in.
He asked knowingly, "What's wrong? Why are you sending me a message in such a hurry?"
Xing: "Wow, you have no idea how dangerous that was!"
"That bullet was only 0.01 centimeters away from my butt!"
March 7th: "Thanks to my intervention, I froze all their guns, which allowed us to escape!"
Zhou Yuan was still pretending: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Dan Heng: "There's something wrong with the High Guardian of Beloborg. She suddenly turned on us and sent Iron Guards this morning to try to capture us. We've escaped to the Rift, and they haven't caught up with us yet."
Xing: "I told you long ago she was a bad woman, she looks bad just by looking at her!"
Zhou Yuan: "......"
March 7: "By the way, where are you now? Be careful, the Great Guardian is looking for you."
"If you guys hadn't told her, she probably would never have even thought about me..." Zhou Yuan thought to himself, and typed:
"I've been hiding in a very safe place, don't worry, just be careful."
Xing raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean by that? Aren't you coming to help? Yalilo Belloberg, Yalilo Belloberg, the pioneer team has disbanded! Passenger Zhou Yuan, with his right hand, ran off with the tickets! We can't do anything..."
“Divine Metal…” Zhou Yuan laughed and typed:
"I believe you."
After that, he stopped paying attention to the messages in the group, found a quiet place, and began to carefully consider his plans for the next few days, waiting for the competition to start.
Finally, the noise from the fight club in the distance began to rise. Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Yuan stood up, dusted himself off, and walked over.
"Luca! Invincible!! Luca! Invincible!!!"
"Go Bing! Go Bing!!"
The crowd chanted the names of their supporters, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.
Zhou Yuan approached the arena and saw three people standing there. Scott was standing in the center, a man in Iron Guard uniform was to his right, and a man Zhou Yuan recognized was to his left.
The man with fiery red hair and a mechanical right arm was none other than Iron Arm Luca, the undisputed champion of Fight Club!
"It seems he lost his right arm while saving a child, sigh." Zhou Yuan sighed. If time allowed, he wouldn't want to make this kind of quick money either.
Scott on the stage saw Zhou Yuan and his eyes lit up. He quickly invited Zhou Yuan to his side.
He made a gesturing gesture to quiet the room: "Ladies and gentlemen! I believe many of you know what just happened. The young man next to me chose to become a dangerous professional boxer to earn money in order to treat his sister. This is truly heartbreaking!"
"In order to offer him a little help, I discussed it with Brother Bing, and he decided to give up his spot in the opening exhibition match to this young man."
All eyes turned to the man dressed as a guard, and Bing Ge raised his masked face, revealing his affirmative voice: "That's right."
"So this is Brother Bing... He's one of Scott's men?" Zhou Yuan pondered.
"Not only that!" Scott announced even bigger news, "This exhibition match will also have a betting option! I will take five percent of the profits to help this guy treat his sister!"
"You can participate through Dr. Juejue's page or the 'Boqile' mini-program!"
"On one side is a reigning champion boxer, and on the other is a young man with the support of his family. Who will win? Stay tuned!!"
Finally, Scott finished his announcement, and the scene erupted in a thunderous commotion.
"What? The champion versus the runner-up was supposed to be a bit of a mystery, but now that some skinny kid has been brought up, what's the point of watching this?" someone complained, clearly preferring a more evenly matched fight.
"Stop talking nonsense! Are you stupid? Place your bets! This is a sure thing!" Someone started pulling out their phone. "Even a small bet is still a bet!"
"Hurry up, bet on Luca to win!!" In the morning, the wanderer Fang Zheng squeezed in front of Dr. Digger and bet all his previous capital and all his savings, a total of two thousand credits, on Luca.
"Fantastic! 1.4 times!" he roared, holding the ticket. "With this odds, does anyone actually believe that skinny monkey can win? Pure gambler, haha!"
The crowd was so dense that many people were scrambling to get Luca to win, and almost no one believed that Zhou Yuan could win.
"Everyone, bet on that young man! This is definitely a pig butchering scam, don't fall for it!!" someone shouted. After a few weak-willed people bet on Zhou Yuan, he quickly placed his bet on Luca and won big. "Hahaha, a bunch of idiots, believing this!"
Looking at the chaotic scene below, Zhou Yuan shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him. He turned his head and met Luca's eyes.
“Hello,” Luca said without any hesitation, extending his hand to Zhou Yuan in a loud voice, “I am Iron-Armed Luca.”
“I am… a horse hunter.” Zhou Yuan nodded to himself, confirming that he had indeed come to hunt horses, specifically Mani’s horses.
“I was very saddened to hear about your sister,” Luca said seriously, “but I’m sorry, I won’t let it slide.”
Zhou Yuan nodded: "Go all out."
Zhou Yuan had a premonition that if Luca didn't use his full strength, those who currently supported him would likely turn against him instantly and launch a coordinated attack.
After getting to know each other, the two entered their respective waiting areas one after the other.
As the opening drums sounded, the competition began. Zhou Yuan and Luca opened the wire mesh fighting cage and went inside, while Scott arrived late.
"He's still fighting an iron arm with his bare hands? That's hilarious."
"Luca can't beat him even with one hand! Hahaha! It's a sure thing."
"Luca vs. Hunter," Scott coughed and announced loudly, "The Rocky Town Super League opening match is officially starting!"
After saying that, he quickly withdrew, leaving the space to the two of them.
Upon hearing the start, Luca didn't waste any words and immediately moved closer to Zhou Yuan, wanting to test the waters first. However, Zhou Yuan stood still with his hands hanging down.
"What's wrong? Why isn't it moving?" someone asked.
"He was terrified. Look at him, he hasn't learned anything basic."
Seeing that Zhou Yuan had entered his attack range, Luca did not hesitate and threw a left hook at Zhou Yuan. As long as Zhou Yuan raised his right hand, it would be easy to block.
However, Zhou Yun still did not make a move until Luca's fist struck his abdomen.
"Huh? Luca isn't using any force? Why isn't this guy moving at all?"
"He's just being overly sympathetic, which is common with Luca, but it's okay, he won't crash or burn anything anyway."
Compared to the calmness of the others, Luca felt completely different. He felt as if the punch he threw had not hit a person, but a piece of steel, harder than his right arm!
"Use all your strength." Zhou Yuan's lips moved.
Upon hearing this, Luca immediately stopped holding back and unleashed a powerful punch with his right fist, striking Zhou Yuan squarely in the chest with a crisp clang—the sound of metal colliding. Yet, Zhou Yuan withstood the blow without a scratch, his expression unchanged.
"Wait, what's going on?" At this moment, someone finally noticed something was wrong. "Luca just hit him, right? It made quite a commotion... How come he's alright?"
"I...how would I know!" Someone started to panic. Everyone knew how awesome it was to be able to withstand a beating in the ring.
"It's alright, he's just tough. Look at how little he is, he definitely can't withstand Luca's attack!"
"Right, right, I almost forgot, he's definitely going to lose!"
“I see,” Luca took a few steps back and pressed the mechanical arm on his right hand. “Sorry, I’m going to have to use my full strength now.”
"It's alright." Zhou Yuan maintained a faint smile.
"Watch the sparks fly!" Luca gathered his strength slightly, then suddenly threw a punch. The mechanical arm spewed out a dazzling flame, detached from Luca, and flew straight towards Zhou Yuan's face—a veritable Iron Arm Missile!
Bang! ! !
A hand blocked the incoming iron arm in front of Zhou Yuan. The loud noise from the collision made everyone present feel a pain in their eardrums, and the huge impact also made Zhou Yuan take half a step back.
But that was all. No matter how the flames on the arm burned, emitting a dying gasp, it could not advance even an inch further.
"This...is blocking it???"
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Zhou Yuan had already swung his iron arm out, walked to Luca's side, grabbed him with one hand, and tore open the iron mesh of the fighting cage with the other, throwing him out.
Luca lost.
The scene fell into deathly silence.
