This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 34 - : Unusual Changes
Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Unusual Changes
“We won! We really won!”
When the referee announced the Green-faced Ghost as the winner, Liu San was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and roared with excitement.
Beside him, Sister Hua looked at Li Fei on the boxing stage in surprise, her eyes shifting.
He had mixed well in Qingyuan Fist Village, all thanks to his good judgment in discovering many skilled boxers.
The newly signed Heishan had excellent innate physical qualities. He had worked in a mine for five years, honing his strength and cultivating his martial arts.
Sister Hua knew that the dark mines outside Xing City were no peaceful places; fighting and even killing were common.
Heishan had made a name for himself in the mine in the last two years thanks to his outstanding physical condition, and was later spotted by a martial artist who taught him martial arts for three years.
This time Heishan came to Qingyuan Fist Village to fight, hoping to save money to buy an Implant on the black market and become a formal martial artist.
Sister Hua was very optimistic about him and felt that he could make it to the top boxing platforms in the future.
But in his first rookie battle, he lost, not even lasting five seconds!
As he pondered, Li Fei had already come down from the stage and approached him.
Sister Hua, not waiting for Li Fei to speak, broke into a radiant smile:
“Wow, I really underestimated you. Who knew you were this impressive?”
While saying this, she took out a stack of money from a leather wallet and handed it to Li Fei:
“Here, this is a hundred yuan. The extra is an apology from me. Please don’t take my earlier words to heart.”
Li Fei was somewhat surprised by her reaction, but saw no need to argue about money and took the bills she handed him.
Sister Hua’s smile grew even broader, her eyes fixed firmly on Li Fei:
“Little brother, with your skills, why not consider letting me be your agent? I guarantee I can make you a well-known boxer in Qingyuan Fist Village in no time, gaining both fame and fortune!”
She was indeed trying to sign Li Fei.
Such arrogance followed by obsequiousness was somewhat ridiculous, but she didn’t care.
What did pride matter, as long as it made money?
“Sister Hua…”
Liu San was stunned, his joy from winning the bet instantly vanished.
Sister Hua turned to give him a fierce look that shut him up.
Then she looked back at Li Fei, her face once again brightening:
“Having a good agent is very important. They can arrange the most favorable, high-profile matches for you, making it easier for you to earn money. They can also introduce you to powerful backers. Just pleasing these people could earn you more than fighting ten bouts.”
With that, she pointed at Liu San and said mercilessly:
“This loser here is the lowest level of boxing agent, having no resources at all. Following him, you’re bound to get nowhere. But with me, it’s different. You can ask around about Sister Hua’s reputation here. All my fighters make good money.”
Liu San, belittled by Sister Hua, couldn’t retort. He opened his mouth, unable to speak as he looked at Li Fei.
His expression was disheartened.
Sister Hua could hijack the fighter he had found right in front of him, and he couldn’t fight back or even speak in his own defense.
The world was like this.
Li Fei glanced at the dejected Liu San, who looked just like he had in his previous life when he had finally gotten an opportunity, only to have it snatched away by a colleague with better connections.
Helpless, resigned.
He looked at the confident Sister Hua with calm eyes and said:
“No need.”
Liu San suddenly looked up, Sister Hua’s smile freezing.
Li Fei then walked to the registration area to collect his bonus for the match.
Since it was the rookie battle between two newcomers, the bonus was a minimum of five yuan.
After collecting the bonus, Li Fei walked up to the still dazed Liu San:
“How much did I win in the bet?”
Liu San, snapping out of his stupor, replied to Li Fei ecstatically:
“Wait a moment, I’ll go exchange it for you right now!”
Soon, he ran back holding a stack of bills and handed all the money to Li Fei.
Li Fei counted the money and found that there was a total of 104 yuan.
“That much?”

He was somewhat surprised.
Liu San explained, “The odds just now against the Black Mountain were 1:1.3. I also bet 20 yuan on your win, so here are the 80 yuan principal plus the winnings, all given to you.”
“Okay.”
Li Fei didn’t stand on ceremony with the other party.
Seeing him accept all the money, Liu San’s face broke into a smile, happier than if he had earned the money himself:
“I will arrange the next match for you as soon as possible. You have already won one match, and you won it so beautifully, the next opponent will be stronger, and the bonus will be larger.”
Li Fei suddenly asked, “Are there official Martial Artists on the Heaven-ranked ring?”
Liu San answered, “Yes, in the whole Xing City, only Qingyuan Fist Village hosts official Martial Artists in the ring.”
Li Fei nodded, Martial Arts Cultivation was too expensive, so it was quite normal for those Martial Artists without any backing to come here to earn money by fighting.
“When can I fight on the Heaven-ranked ring?”
Li Fei asked.
Without hesitation, Liu San responded, “You need to fight a promotion battle to ascend to that ring, and you must apply through the village for that. But if you show the strength to sweep all opponents on the same level ring, the village will arrange your promotion battle quickly; otherwise, the matches would lose their suspense, and all viewers would bet on your win.”
“Okay.”
Li Fei nodded; during his match with Black Mountain tonight, he had activated ‘Blood Rage’ right from the start and had consumed 2 Blood Souls, considering this very possibility.
Moreover, publicly, he was Hao Yi’s student, mainly practicing Heavenly Gang Dominator Body, focusing on defense. Secretly, he had taken the identity of Green-faced Ghost to box in Qingyuan Fist Village, altering his fighting style for a better cover-up, hence he decided not to use Heavenly Gang Dominator Body but take the offense, making ‘Blood Rage’ his staple strategy.
In this way, even if Li Fei or Green-faced Ghost became more famous in the future, it would be difficult for others to link these two identities together.
Li Fei was cautious in his actions, and these were the things he had thought through before deciding to enter the underground fighting scene.
“How will we contact each other later?”
Liu San asked.
Li Fei responded, “I’ll be here every night at 9 PM to box. Arrange it ahead of time, and we’ll meet at the main entrance of the village.”
“Good, no problem.”
Liu San nodded and agreed.
“That’s all for tonight.”
Li Fei finally said, then turned around and left.
He had earned a total of 144 yuan tonight, even more than Li Lei’s monthly salary!
Yet, that was not his greatest gain of the evening.
After activating ‘Blood Rage’ in the ring earlier, Li Fei felt an increase in the sensation from the Steel Armor Implant beneath his skin, like something was about to break through even stronger than before!
Li Fei glanced at the Myriad Blood Pearl within his body; the number of Blood Souls he had decreased was more than just 2, and the energy needed for leveling up had also increased.
This indicated the implant was damaging his body, while simultaneously allowing the Myriad Blood Pearl to absorb energy.
“Could it be that the disturbance last time wasn’t caused by extremely intense emotional fluctuations, but because I used ‘Blood Rage’?”
Li Fei harbored such a guess.
Hao Yi had said that implant disturbances caused by intense emotional fluctuations were only effective the first time, and this was the second time now, and his emotions remained calm throughout tonight.
And the only common factor between the last time and this time was his use of ‘Blood Rage’.
“Could using Blood Rage potentially accelerate the growth stimulation of the implant?”
Li Fei thought so.
Soon, he felt a strong sense of hunger.
The Steel Armor Implant inside him needed replenishment.
