Chapter 433: Fist Bump, Are You Talking Trash to Me?
The news of Shen Lang's fight with boxing champion Holleg caused a sensation in both China and the United States.
A top star in the film and television industry crosses over to compete in the ring with a professional no-rules fighting master.
In the minds of the Chinese people, the images of people like Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen instantly appeared.
In the minds of Americans, they think of China’s most talked-about movie star…Bruce Lee.
On the day of the competition, the entire street was filled with interview cars coming to the gym for coverage.
More self-media influencers flew in from all over the country and waited outside the martial arts gym to start live streaming the entire event.
At this time, no matter who opens the social media account, it will take only a short time to see the real-time situation outside the Tangshou Martial Arts School in the imperial capital.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, when Xu Kui and a group of disciples arrived outside Tangshou Martial Arts School, the group of people were instantly shocked by the scene.
A group of apprentices swallowed and looked at their master.
Xu Kui's forehead was covered with sweat, and his knees were a little stiff, but he pretended to be calm and laughed: "I didn't expect so many people! This is a good opportunity to promote traditional Chinese martial arts!"
His disciple instantly became excited: "Master, Shen Lang's cross-border move is just to attract attention. In the end, we still have to rely on you!"
"Yes, maybe after this battle, our Baguazhang will become completely famous, and maybe even become famous abroad!"
"Master, let's stand up straight and show them our spirit!"
"That's right, everyone should hold their heads high after getting off the bus!"
"Okay! Everyone is right, let's get off the car!" Xu Kui gave an order, and he and his apprentices got off the Coaster.
As soon as they got off the car, the countless flash lights made everyone almost cry, and they quickly raised their hands to cover their eyes.
"Put your hands down and let the media take pictures!" Xu Kui reacted and quickly instructed his disciples behind him.
At this moment, the reporter closest to them suddenly shouted, "It's not Shen Lang, nor is it Huo Lige! They took the wrong picture!"
The flash lights at the scene suddenly stopped moving!
Xu Kui was embarrassed and didn't know whether to leave or stay.
However, their outfits did arouse the interest of an internet celebrity: "Are you the Baguazhang guy?"
Xu Kui was about to speak when someone shouted from behind: "Boxing champion Holleg's car has arrived."
This time, the media went completely crazy. Reporters rushed towards the oncoming car like sardines, knocking Xu Kui and others to pieces.
"Master..., let's..."
“Go in first!” Xu Kui looked unhappy and walked towards the martial arts hall against the crowd.
At this time, the third floor of the martial arts hall was already full of people.
Shen Lang, whom the media had been looking for, actually came quietly in from the exclusive elevator at the back door early in the morning with his friends who came to watch.
Looking at Huo Liege who was surrounded by the media downstairs, Hong Jinbao shook his head and said, "This American is too strong. Teacher Shen, even if you have skills, I still don't think you can beat him with such a huge disparity in strength!"
"Yes, Teacher Shen, actually, these are just gimmicks created by Black Belt. I don't think it is necessary to accept the challenge. I have some powerful friends in North America. I can help you contact them so that both of you can have a peace boxing match!" Jack Cheng also came and gave his own suggestions.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Don't you think highly of me?"
Instead of laughing, everyone looked worried!
Especially Gu Jialan, she ignored everyone's gaze, took Shen Lang's hand and said: "I think you should listen to your eldest brother and ask him to help make a phone call!"
Shen Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Everyone, in my opinion, this is just an ordinary ring match. I'm not a professional, and being defeated doesn't mean anything. If the media wants to hype it up, that's their business! You don't have to worry too much!"
"Besides, if I quit or fight for peace now, it will really make the other side look down on us Chinese!"
Wang Jiawei said: "Teacher Shen, do you know that fighting without rules can really kill people?"
Shen Lang smiled: "It's not that exaggerated!"
"Yes, it's not that exaggerated, but if you get beaten into a pig's head, how are you going to survive in the film and television industry in the future?" Mr. Yuan sighed!
Everyone was talking at once, trying to persuade Shen Lang to give up or take shortcuts. Shen Lang also discovered that these people, although they were heroes in the movies, were also good at martial arts in real life.
But they really lack a certain spirit. To put it in a way with high EQ, they lack the courage to forge ahead. To put it in a way with low EQ, they do not have the kind of carefree drive that Shen Lang has.
Shen Lang is actually not afraid.
He has earned enough money.
He stole the limelight.
Women, now you have a lifelong goal to spend your life with!
Next, just do everything he thinks is meaningful.
The views of others and worldly discussions are really not within his consideration.
As for the matter of going into the ring with Holleg, first of all, as long as you are a man and are called a turtle every day, you must fight.
In addition, every Chinese has the pride engraved in their bones. This pride is the pride of culture and the pride of tradition. This pride makes him never look back once he has made a decision, regardless of life or death.
At this time, Holleg had already arrived at the door of the boxing gym surrounded by the crowd.
Under Li Sang's command, the door of the boxing gym was opened to allow Holleg's team and the media to enter in an orderly manner.
When the first floor of the boxing gym was filled with media and spectators, everyone was asking one question: "Why hasn't Shen Lang arrived yet?"
"You're not scared, are you?"
"Is he afraid? That would be too embarrassing for us Chinese people!"
"Fuck it! If he doesn't come, I'll die here today!"
"Dude you're awesome!"
……
At this moment, the referee who had received the news long ago... Flamenco, a world-renowned no-rules fighting referee specially invited by "Black Belt" magazine from the No-Rules Fighting Association, stood on the ring.
"Today, boxing champion Huo Lige will participate in two fighting matches. In the first match, Huo Lige will fight against Xu Kui from China!"
"Please prepare, contestants!"
"Ah? We're here to see Shen Lang, why is Xu Kui here to join in the fun?"
"Let's take a look first. This guy has been very popular on the Internet recently! He has been bullying Shen Lang everywhere. I heard that Shen Lang was forced to participate in this competition by him."
"Don't underestimate Xu Kui, he is the descendant of Baguazhang and has real skills!"
At this time, both sides went up to the ring.
At this moment, Holleg had already taken off his shirt and was not wearing gloves. Instead, his hands were wrapped with cloth strips to prevent bruises.
Xu Kui was wearing traditional training clothes with wide sleeves and a look of nervousness that he was trying hard to hide.
"Boxers, fist bump!" Flamenco gave the order.
Huo Liege and Xu Kui walked to the center of the ring and bumped each other's fists.
Xu Kui was both excited and nervous at the moment. As long as he could get through the first round, no matter what the result was, he would have the words to deal with the media.
Thinking of this, he grinned at Holleger and said, "Mr. Holleger, let's stop here."
Holleg grinned at him, thinking, "This guy is quite arrogant. Why is he fist-bumping me and trash-talking me?"
"FUCK YOU!" Holleg showed his neat upper and lower rows of teeth.
