Chapter 297: Crushing Victory! One-punch Man!!
Pita started fighting underground boxing at the age of 15.
He has fought his way to today through countless battles.
He can’t even remember how much of other people’s blood has stained his fists.
The fierce aura he carries is absolutely incomparable to regular national team members like Tian Linan.
Pita stood there quietly; even without speaking or making any moves, he exuded an extremely dangerous presence.
It was like the feeling humans have when facing a predator poised to strike.
Now 27 years old, Pita is at the peak of his personal combat strength, and his aura is in a fully potent state.
Looking at Jiang Tao, who was provocatively speaking, he had a 100% certainty of killing him!
Of course, this is not a Thai underground boxing ring, so he would try to restrain himself.
“A stake? I have about 13 million left in this card. If I lose, this money is yours.”
Jiang Tao smiled, pulled out a small card holder from his pocket, and casually tossed a Platinum Card he got from ICBC Bank to Huang He.
Naturally, he wouldn’t refuse such an opportunity to have money thrown at him, so he went all in!
This Huang He even brought bodyguards, indicating he’s not short on cash.
If he put up 13 million as a stake publicly and Huang He didn’t dare to match it, he would lose all face.
If Huang He dared to match it, he would become his “Money-Bringing Boy.”
Jiang Tao wasn’t that greedy, aiming for tens or hundreds of millions in stakes right off the bat.
13 million for the stake was neither too much nor too little, just right.
Even if the other party lost, it would at most cause some pain, not cripple them financially.
Jiang Tao planned to continue his career in the Capital City for the rest of his life.
Offending Huang He too deeply would not be beneficial for his future career development.
“Heh, good, 13 million? I’ll match you 13 million!”
Huang He looked at Jiang Tao with some confusion.
He didn’t know where Jiang Tao’s courage and confidence came from, to dare offer 13 million as a stake.
But since the stake was his idea, and Jiang Tao had offered 13 million, he couldn’t back down.
While 13 million wasn’t a small sum for him,
he could afford to lose it without significant financial damage.
The onlookers, hearing the commotion, all wore surprised expressions.
Although the clients who could afford to come here were generally wealthy individuals with net worths in the tens of millions,
to put up 13 million in cash at once as a stake for a bet,
it was unlikely anyone besides Jiang Tao and Huang He could do so on the spot.
Although Tian Linan’s net worth was also fifty to sixty million, it would take him some effort to produce 13 million in cash quickly.
“Master, do you have confidence?”
Tian Linan leaned closer to Jiang Tao and asked in a low voice.
Today’s situation started because of him, and he didn’t want Jiang Tao to lose 13 million because of his issue.
While he had some understanding of Jiang Tao’s strength, the opposing Pita was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
“Don’t worry, it’s no problem, a piece of cake.”
Jiang Tao looked at Pita with a very calm gaze, even with a hint of disdain in his calmness.
In his vision, a sky-blue information box appeared above Pita’s head—
【 Pita: Physique 89! 】
A physique of 89 was the highest Jiang Tao had encountered among everyone he had seen.
Just 11 more points would bring it close to the human limit of 100.
Pita’s incredible physique, combined with the skills honed over years of fighting, made his combat effectiveness far beyond that of ordinary people.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even if Tian Linan, Cao Hu, and Ma Yue teamed up to face Pita,
without any restrictions, Tian Linan and the other two would be the ones to fall in the end.
However, compared to Jiang Tao, whose physique had reached 138, Pita’s physique was insignificant.
Moreover, Jiang Tao also possessed the “System-level Freestyle Combat” skill.
Defeating Pita would be very easy.
“Manager Huang, Manager Jiang? Is there some misunderstanding between you two? Perhaps I can find a place for us to sit down and talk.”
“Let’s not damage our harmony.”
Han Rui, who had received a phone call from the lobby manager, came down from upstairs. Seeing the tense atmosphere, she quickly stepped forward to mediate and persuade.
“It’s fine, Manager Han. We’ll get to know each other through fighting. Let my bodyguard have some fun with your ex-husband’s master.”
Huang He smiled at Han Rui, his expression appearing nonchalant.
Tian Linan also snorted coldly:
“Han Rui, don’t interfere. This is a matter between men, and we’ll resolve it like men.”
Han Rui frowned slightly upon hearing Tian Linan’s words.
Looking at Huang He’s attitude, it seemed difficult to quell this conflict without a clear winner.
“Manager Huang, Manager Jiang, there are too many eyes here. Why don’t you gentlemen move up to our gym upstairs? There’s a dedicated boxing ring there.”
Helplessly, Han Rui chose to minimize the impact of the situation.
It was the peak lunch hour, and guests were continuously entering from outside.
It was clearly not appropriate for Jiang Tao and Pita to fight here.
“Alright, let’s go to the gym upstairs.”
Huang He didn’t want to make Han Rui too difficult, so he smiled and agreed, then led Pita towards the elevator first.
Jiang Tao, Tian Linan, and their group, guided by a hotel staff member, also took the elevator to the gym on the top floor.
The entire top floor was a gym open for free use by hotel guests.
The gym covered an area of nearly 3000 square meters and was divided into several zones.
There was a swimming pool, dozens of treadmills, weight machines like the butterfly machine, and a dedicated yoga room for practicing yoga.
During lunchtime, there weren’t many people in the gym, only a few scattered guests chatting while exercising.
The arrival of Jiang Tao and his group didn’t attract much attention.
They were led by a hotel staff member into a room labeled “Boxing Room.”
In the center of the boxing room was a square ring.
The edge of the ring was encircled by thick elastic bands, forming a barrier that looked quite professional.
Huang He, Pita, and several hotel staff members stood on one side.
Jiang Tao, Tian Linan, and Ma Yue, along with Han Rui, stood on the other.
Jiang Tao and Pita exchanged glances, seeing intense fighting spirit in each other’s eyes.
“Let’s skip the formalities and start directly!”
Huang He crossed his arms, looking as if he was waiting to enjoy a show.
Whoosh!
Pita lunged forward, grabbed the elastic bands at the edge of the ring with both hands, and used the leverage to flip himself onto the ring.
His movements were fluid and graceful, and even those like Han Rui, who didn’t understand fighting or martial arts, could feel his formidable strength.
“Come on! I’ll hold back, I won’t kill you.”
Pita stood on the ring, looking down at Jiang Tao’s direction, a proud smile on his lips.
“Mr. Jiang, it’s still not too late to cancel the bet. I’ll coordinate with Manager Huang, and he should give me some face.”
Han Rui looked away from the ring, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Jiang Tao.
Although her relationship with Jiang Tao wasn’t particularly close, and there were even some misunderstandings,
Jiang Tao was after all a good friend of her good friend Du Ennan, and she didn’t want Jiang Tao to get injured in her hotel.
“Thank you for your concern, Manager Han, but it’s not necessary. I also wanted to stretch my muscles.”
Jiang Tao ignored Pita’s provocation and casually stretched his limbs before slowly walking towards the ring.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Tao slowly walked towards the steps of the ring and ascended it without haste.
Compared to Pita’s dazzling entrance, Jiang Tao’s way of getting onto the ring seemed too ordinary.
Seeing this, the smile on Huang He’s lips widened, feeling that victory was already within his grasp.
To go out for a casual lunch and earn 13 million, such a good thing had happened to him.
It seemed like his luck was really good today, suitable for going out to sea for a trip.
“Brother Nan, can Manager Jiang do it?”
Ma Yue looked at Tian Linan and asked with some uncertainty.
What started as a minor verbal dispute had now escalated to a fight with a hefty 13 million stake!
The direction the situation was developing in was completely beyond the imagination of Ma Yue and Tian Linan.
“He can do it! He definitely can! I have confidence in Master!”
Tian Linan’s gaze was fixed on Huang He opposite the ring, and he said with a light laugh:
“The more happily Mr. Huang smiles now, the more bitter his face will be later!
His bodyguard is indeed very strong, there’s no doubt about that.
But compared to my Master, he’s still too far behind! Just you wait and see!”
“I hope Manager Jiang wins! That’s 13 million!”
Ma Yue looked at Jiang Tao with nothing but envy.
He would never encounter an opportunity to earn 13 million in such a short time in his lifetime.
Moreover, even if he did, with his abilities, he wouldn’t be able to get the money!
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Tao stepped onto the ring and stood about three meters away from Pita.
The difference in their heights was less than 1CM, their gazes nearly level. Pita’s eyes burned with fierce combat intent.
In contrast, Jiang Tao’s eyes were completely calm.
It was as if he had just come for a stroll, not to gamble in a fight.
As Jiang Tao and Pita stepped onto the ring, the air around them seemed to freeze.
The eyes of everyone below were fixed on the two of them, not daring to miss any detail.
On one side was Pita, the Muay Thai Master, with dark skin, chiseled muscles, and a fierce expression.
On the other side was Jiang Tao, who looked fair-skinned and tender, showing no signs of training.
His demeanor was calm, even somewhat lazy. He simply rotated his neck slightly, producing a soft “click,” and his gaze calmly swept over his opponent.
Han Rui, watching from below, clasped her hands and silently prayed that even if Jiang Tao lost, he wouldn’t lose too badly, though winning would be best.
Tian Linan and Ma Yue wore expressions of anticipation, their gazes occasionally shifting to Huang He opposite them.
Huang He maintained a confident smile, as if he could already see the 13 million in his pocket.
Swish!
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Pita suddenly launched an attack on Jiang Tao.
A low roundhouse kick ripped through the air, carrying a terrifying whooshing sound, aiming viciously at Jiang Tao’s shin bone of his supporting leg!
The power of this kick was enough to snap a wooden stake as thick as a bowl!
With a dull thud that made one’s teeth ache, a sound of flesh colliding erupted.
The hearts of everyone below instantly tensed, forgetting to breathe. Han Rui even gasped.
But to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Tao neither blocked nor dodged.
He simply adjusted his center of gravity slightly and used his lower leg to forcefully take the low sweep that would have instantly incapacitated an ordinary professional fighter!
The physique of 138 not only enhanced his muscles but also strengthened his bones.
Pita would gain no advantage by clashing head-on with him.
“How can this be!”
After the strike, Pita’s gaze towards Jiang Tao became several times more alert than before!
Pita felt as if he had just kicked a steel bar embedded in concrete.
The powerful recoil made his own shin numb and even subtly painful!
This meant that in the previous head-on clash, he had gained no advantage and had even suffered a slight disadvantage!
“Again!!”
Pita roared and charged at Jiang Tao again, throwing a more ferocious right cross directly at his face.
Simultaneously, Pita’s left knee shot up, preparing to deliver a fatal blow as Jiang Tao leaned back.
“Heh, your movements are too slow.”
Jiang Tao sneered disdainfully. His head moved a tiny margin of millimeters to the side, causing the heavy punch to graze his cheekbone.
His movements were so fast they were beyond Pita’s dynamic visual capture range!
At the same time, his left hand shot out like a venomous snake, not to block, but to precisely chop downwards!
Jiang Tao’s hand chop landed precisely on the ligament on the side of Pita’s raised knee!
“Urk!” Pita grunted, his knee-raising motion instantly distorted, and the piercing pain caused his movement to falter.
In this fraction of a second of an opening, Jiang Tao quickly switched from defense to offense and began his counterattack.
His right fist shot out like a cannonball, without any warning, simple, direct, and violent!
The fist, imbued with terrifying power, landed squarely on Pita’s abdomen!
“Boom!”
Jiang Tao’s fist struck Pita’s abdomen with a loud boom, like hitting a sandbag.
Pita’s eyes bulged, stomach acid mixed with bile instantly surged into his throat, and all his internal energy was completely dispersed by Jiang Tao’s punch.
Once Jiang Tao’s offensive began, it was like a storm, with no gaps.
He grabbed Pita’s arm, which was powerless to defend due to the pain, and yanked it towards himself. Simultaneously, his left knee slammed upwards like a battle axe!
“Crack!” A clear, chilling sound of bone and flesh colliding.
This knee strike directly hit Pita’s ribs, breaking them!
“Ah!!”
Pita let out a scream, and his body crashed to the mat with a thud, his head hitting the floor with another loud bang.
Under the heavy blow, Pita’s eyes instantly went vacant, and he quickly lost consciousness.
From Pita’s offensive against Jiang Tao to the end of the fight.
The entire process took about six or seven seconds, less than 10 seconds.
The fight was over!
Silence.
A deathly silence enveloped the entire ring area.
Below, Han Rui’s mouth was agape, clearly stunned by the movie-like fight that had just unfolded.
Tian Linan’s gaze towards Jiang Tao was now even more fervent!
Being able to become a disciple of such a powerful Master as Jiang Tao was a rare opportunity for him!
At the same time, he was also glad that he hadn’t offended Jiang Tao too much in Han Rui’s office earlier, but instead chose to reconcile with him!
Ma Yue next to him took a sharp breath and instinctively touched his own ribs, as if Jiang Tao’s punch had landed on him.
It just looked painful!
At this moment, everyone had a completely new understanding of Jiang Tao’s strength!
During the recent fight.
Every punch, every knee, every kick of his carried destructive power and the most effective striking efficiency.
No extraneous movements, precise, cold, and extremely violent!
The bone-jarring sounds of those punches still echoed in their ears, making their hearts tremble.
