301: Chapter 298 Who Gave You This Confidence?

Peter Guo

Currently ranked number one.

Participated in forty-two arena battles, with an average of twelve appearances per event, and an average of 10 matches held per appearance.

Maximum defense streak: fifteen matches.

An intellectual-type fighter, specialized in: Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Huaxia Traditional Martial Arts, Boxing, Grappling, Aikido, and Karate.

Characteristics: A man who loves to study, seemingly obsessed with researching various fighting arts; a lunatic with nothing but combat and killing in his mind, leaving no survivors in his wake.

In an instant, the relevant information surfaced in Chairman Park's mind.

The reason this man's maximum defense streak was fifteen was because that was his very first time on stage, where he reportedly swept through almost everyone who was ranked at the top at that time.

Logically, his average defense streak should be very high. In reality, as time went on, fewer and fewer people dared to fight him, so each time he was forced to step down simply because no one dared to challenge him.

However, this didn't affect his ranking at all, though it did mean that this individual rarely fought.

Seeing that the other party still seemed disinterested, Chairman Park breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, this freak didn't take an interest in Li, otherwise, I would have missed such a good opportunity to pick up the scraps."

Chairman Park felt somewhat relieved.

He was extremely wary of Peter Guo, this Maple Leaf Country citizen of Huaxia descent.

Park Jeong-gyeong also felt the man had a screw loose. Such a machine that only knew combat and killing had no hobbies or interests, and was even disinterested in women.

It was said that this guy trained in a private training room every day; aside from that, his only interest was perhaps an obsession with anime.

He heard that this man loved a fighting anime called 'Kiba' and greatly admired the character Sea King Guo from it, even going so far as to change his name from Peter Wang to Peter Guo.

He even called himself Sea King Guo.

The reason people said he was mentally unstable was because Park Jeong-gyeong heard this guy wanted to realize Sea King Guo's various miraculous abilities from the anime in reality.

For this purpose, it was heard that in his early days, this man weighed nearly eighty kilograms and was considered a muscular powerhouse.

Now, after nearly half a year, his weight had dropped to sixty-five kilograms.

The words often heard from his mouth were 'Xiao Li' (Dissipating Force) and 'Duo Li' (Relaxation).

As a chairman who loved investigating the actual situation of various powerful individuals, Chairman Park had the honor of secretly observing this man's training methods.

In Chairman Park's view, it was also very abnormal. Sometimes he would be in a rapid onslaught, which looked like conventional training.

Other times, his whole body would be like mud, lying softly on the ground; if one didn't know better, they would think he was a spineless cat.

Shaking his head, it was just as well that this man wasn't interested.

As Park Jeong-gyeong took the stage, there were no cheers from the audience at all.

It was truly because the previous challengers had been more pathetic than the last; everyone's enthusiasm had long been worn away. Seeing this, everyone even started blindly betting on the contestant named Li.

Park Jeong-gyeong didn't care about this; instead, he became even more excited.

His eyes merely glanced at Li Changsheng before he quickly and subtly signaled a certain spot in the audience.

Ordinary people certainly wouldn't notice this look, but at this moment, several Lanwei Country chaebol tycoons in the audience smiled slightly.

"Soo-eun! Place a bet on Park Jeong-gyeong immediately. This is a true powerhouse of our Great Lanwei Country; we must place a heavy bet."

Hearing this, a secretary beside him, wearing a professional OL outfit and exuding uniform temptation, pushed up her glasses and nodded. "Boss, how much should I bet?"

"Ten billion!"

"Boss, won't that be too much?" Secretary Choi Soo-eun frowned slightly. Her delicate, surgically-sculpted nose wrinkled a bit.

Of course, make no mistake, this wasn't US dollars, but Lanwei currency; even so, it was still over seven million US dollars.

"This is part of the plan. Alright, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Hearing this, Choi Soo-eun no longer hesitated. She knew very well what this meant, just like a certain ball game; wasn't that how it was operated back then?

Presumably, the boss had already arranged everything.

With the referee's countdown, the duel officially began.

Li Changsheng was actually getting a bit bored, but after waiting for a moment and seeing no Move from the opponent, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Taekwondo? Different from the one just now. Does he not intend to act this time?"

From the previous matches, he had figured it out. They looked tougher than the last, but in reality, they were all acting, and their acting was getting worse and worse.

By the end, he had even gotten angry, and his strikes became notably ruthless.

Since you want to act, then show some skill. If you can't even act properly, then be prepared to be beaten to death.

The result was obvious; the last few were a bit slow to react, and for Li Changsheng, as long as a slight opening was given, it meant death.

But... a Taekwondo guy... wants to play for real with me?

Park Jeong-gyeong had a look of smug satisfaction, but he didn't notice that the expression Li Changsheng gave him was very strange.

Where did a Taekwondo practitioner get such confidence?

Li Changsheng even looked at this guy's ranking.

"Seventh? This can even get to seventh? Could there be some inside deal?"

At this moment, Li Changsheng was truly bewildered. No matter how practical a Taekwondo practitioner is, those from Chinese Kickboxing or Muay Thai could still beat you easily.

Although Li Changsheng didn't know much about Taekwondo, he was very clear about one fatal flaw.

That is, the footwork is terrible, extraordinarily terrible, and they refuse to change it, because if they did, it wouldn't be Taekwondo style anymore.

They emphasize a sideways stance, and the disadvantage of this is that Muay Thai and Chinese Kickboxing fighters have only one thought in mind: target your lower body—oh, wait, it's to wildly sweep the outside of your thighs.

As for the flaws of jumping techniques, Li Changsheng knew that practical Taekwondo doesn't really use those Moves.

But the other techniques are also poor.

In this regard, whether it's Muay Thai, Chinese Kickboxing, or Kyokushin, they all emphasize shifting the body's center of gravity; after cutting in, they deliver heavy blows combined with their body weight.

Taekwondo is an outlier; the roundhouse kick and hip rotation are done simultaneously, so the body weight doesn't transfer through.

The speed is fast, but the power output is just laughable.

Furthermore, they don't have any fist techniques; this is a pure, inherent weakness.

To put it bluntly, this thing is a deformed fighting art created by the Lanwei people to pursue their 'unique culture.'

"Master Zhang, how do you think Master Li will fight this match?"

In the backstage, seeing that it was finally no longer those 'suicide-style' guys, Chen Youcai finally began to watch the match seriously.

"Beating this Park Jeong-gyeong guy? Isn't that as easy as lifting a finger?"

Zhang Zhao shrugged, but as Li Changsheng's stance changed on the screen, a strange look suddenly appeared on Zhang Zhao's face.

"Ahem... watch this match carefully, it's a teaching round!"

"Huh?"

"I wasn't talking to you, I meant those Lanwei people. They should watch carefully; looking at Master Li's stance, he's about to teach this Park Jeong-gyeong how to use his legs."
