Chapter 20 First Stop, France (Vote and Collect)

  At 7:30 in the evening; The lower hold of the ship was packed with people, here you can't see the usual gentlemen, ladies and noblewomen, here are only those who are crazy for fresh blood! Sun Xiang and two others came to the lower hold, as soon as they opened the door, they felt a chaotic and crazy atmosphere rushing towards them. Rita had been standing at the door waiting for the three of them to arrive, when she saw Sun Xiang and the other two, Rita's face was filled with excitement. She ran over and said: "I've been waiting for you guys for so long!"

  Xue Li smiled and replied, "Hehe, it's not starting for another half hour yet." After finishing speaking, she and Sun Xiang watched the ongoing boxing match with great interest. The setup here was a bit like the later boxing ring, two white men were competing on the stage, Western-style boxing made them play to their heart's content, the shadows of fists intersecting on the stage, from time to time issuing muffled sounds of fists hitting flesh, both faces and bodies were covered in wounds, new and old ones bleeding. The audience seats were filled with cheers:

  "Kill him! Kill him!"

  "Oh! Baby, I love you to death!"

  “GO!GO!!GO!!!”

  The commentator on the scene was constantly saying provocative words, making the atmosphere even more intense! Sherry grew up in a good family environment, and Sun Xiang is a socialist four-good youth, who has seen this?! Sun Xiang was fine, and his masculine instincts quickly made him blend into such an environment, watching the various figures on the boxing ring with great interest. Sherry, on the other hand, was frightened by the bloody scene, and Rita couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Sherry's expression, remembering her own earlier appearance. Rita went forward to comfort Sherry, gradually stabilizing her emotions. The winner of the match was quickly determined, with one boxer being knocked to the ground, and the victorious one yelling wildly like a savage on the boxing ring, causing the atmosphere on the scene to reach its peak!

  The hall manager walked towards Sun Xiang: "Mr. Steve! Your gamble will be held in 5 minutes, please get ready!"

  "Alright! I know." After hearing Sun Xiang's words, he didn't say much and turned to leave.

  As the audience's enthusiasm died down a bit, the commentator walked up to the ring with a microphone and loudly said: "Ladies! Gentlemen, Orlowski from Russia won tonight's second match! Tell me! Do you need blood tonight?"

  "Need! Need! Need!"

  "Welcome to Texas, the Black Fist Emperor! Andre Lok! And US Army Lieutenant Steve Sun! They're about to engage in a high-stakes match!! Cheer for your favorite fighter! They'll be on stage in 5 minutes, bringing you their hottest blood!" The commentator's words once again ignited the fervent atmosphere, and the audience's cheers grew louder and louder. Sun Xiang felt his blood boiling, his body instantly adjusting to its optimal state. Just as he was about to step onto the ring, a trembling voice echoed behind him: "Sun... can you not go? I'm a little scared."

  Xun Xiang hugged Sherry tightly and said, "Of course not! This is a man's responsibility! When that guy messes with you, he has to be prepared to face my wrath! This is also my promise to you, isn't it?" In Xun Xiang's arms, Sherry's body slowly stopped trembling. He let go of her and gave her a firm gaze.

  At this time, a disgusting voice came: "Ah ha! Who is this? Our officer? Now take the opportunity to say what you want to say! There won't be a chance later, ah!? Haha haha!" Harry's laughter was very piercing, Sun Xiang looked at him lightly. Behind Harry, Lock made a 'you can't do it' gesture towards Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang took a step forward and stood in front of Lock, saying: "See you on the battlefield next time!" Lock had a surprised expression, clearly shocked by Sun Xiang's speed.

  "Ah! Please welcome both parties on stage! Let's enjoy this feast to the fullest!" The commentator's voice echoed throughout the venue.

  "And now, making his way to the ring, from Texas, 'The Emperor' Andre The Rock!"

  "Andrei! Andrei! Andrei!" The waves of fervent shouting almost overturned the boxing ring.

  I didn't expect this kid to come out like a future boxing champion, wearing a cloak and shouting as he jumped onto the stage. But surprisingly, the American audience loved it, so his entrance naturally earned him thunderous applause. After coming out, Andrei Lok made a series of combination punches and then raised both hands high in a gesture that said "I'm the best in the world". The atmosphere on site reached its peak at this moment!

  "Next up is Steve Sun from the military! Let's give it up for this combat expert from the armed forces!"

  Sun Xiang slowly stepped onto the boxing ring, saluting in all directions with his fists, just like a knight of ancient times.

  The commentator's words did not have the desired effect, and the live audience was far from enthusiastic. To them, Sun Xiang's behavior seemed very strange. In a country with a history of less than 300 years, you will never know what is meant by Eastern-style subtlety and etiquette.

  The commentator at the scene began his commentary, and the boxing match also started. A referee wearing a bow tie announced the start of the match, and Sun Xiang also welcomed Rock's first wave of attack.

  "The Emperor's attack is dazzling! Oh, his entrance is a combination of punches, unstoppable power! Oh! Our military man is not so easy to deal with, the Emperor's attacks were all blocked by him, this will be a evenly matched game, tonight's victory goddess will lift her skirt for whom? We wait and see!"

  Just now, all of Rock's attacks were blocked by Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang felt a numbness in his hands: It seems that this guy has some skills. Since I was remade, I haven't met such a strong opponent! Sun Xiang felt excited. After blocking Rock's powerful punch, he began to counterattack. Sun Xiang felt through Rock's previous attack that their strength was evenly matched, but he completely suppressed his opponent in agility, and immediately launched a swift battle. Andre, on the other hand, became more and more frightened, more and more bottomless. As soon as he came on stage, it was a round of fierce attacks. The continuous combination of punches and kicks was enough to make any opponent exhausted, but this time it wasn't the case at all. The little guy in front of him (Rock 193 cm) was not afraid of his terrifying strength at all. Every punch was perfectly blocked, and such a fierce attack didn't even make his opponent reveal any flaws!

  Sun Xiang circled around Lock, dodging a heavy punch and then rushed into Lock's arms, hoping to end the fight with a series of quick jabs. However, Sun Xiang's plan backfired this time. Lock quickly changed his strategy as soon as Sun Xiang approached him, retracting the blocked heavy punch and embracing Sun Xiang before delivering a headbutt. Sun Xiang was caught off guard by Lock's swift reaction, and the headbutt landed squarely on his face. Meanwhile, Sun Xiang's consecutive heavy punches also hit Lock's abdomen. This round of offense surprisingly ended in a stalemate, with neither person gaining the upper hand.

  Sun Xiang felt a stinging sensation on his face, his nose turned sour and then everything went black. Tears kept flowing out of his eyes. Luo Ke was also in a bad state. Sun Xiang's fists were extremely penetrating, using the short punches from Wing Chun, emphasizing the inch power. After several punches, Luo Ke felt like his internal organs were churning, and his footsteps became unsteady. Both men retreated to a corner of the ring to recover.

  The audience's interest was immediately piqued, usually they only see two strong men engaging in a fierce battle as soon as they step onto the stage, where can you see even a little bit of technical fighting?! Today's boxing match made them cheer and shout with excitement.

  Sherry's eyes were fixed intently on the situation on stage, her lips bitten white.

  "MD is too reckless with this kind of attack, the champion of Texas isn't just a name, he's got rich experience and a very calm mind." Sun Xiang thought to himself.

  “Damn! This yellow-skinned guy has an incredibly strong ability to withstand punches, my heavy hit landed on his face and not even a drop of blood came out. It was really close just now, if I hadn't forced him back, I'd probably be knocked out by him right away. Must be careful from now on.”

  Although his heart was somewhat chilled, Luo Ke still covered his stomach and glared at Sun Xiang with a fierce expression. After about half a minute of rest, Sun Xiang barely opened his eyes, tears still streaming down uncontrollably, and his nose still tingling with pain.

  Damn, I lost face big time today, and was actually beaten to tears? I turned around and glanced at Sherry, then made a "I'm fine" expression to her. Sherry had been staring at Sun Xiang, and only let out a sigh of relief when she saw his expression.

  "Damn it! Son of a bitch! Get him out of here for me now! I paid you to come here and win, not to cover your belly. If you lose, get the hell out of my sight!"

  Lock gazed coldly at Harry: "I know." Seeing Lock's expression, Harry was startled and hastily retreated two steps back, still muttering curses under his breath, but much quieter.

  The scene returns to the arena: Sun Xiang, who felt embarrassed, took the initiative to launch an attack. In Chinese martial arts, it is said that "the hands are two doors, and the feet kick people." The military boxing technique that Sun Xiang learned was also the same, his striking instructor taught him many styles of martial arts, and often practiced with him, so Sun Xiang's combat experience was undoubtedly very rich.

  This time he abandoned the use of his hands to attack, and his leg techniques were fully displayed. Luo Ke was immediately caught off guard, and the whole field fell silent! Everyone couldn't understand why the relatively slender Sun Xiang could overpower their great emperor.

  The only sound on the field was the crashing, Luoke facing Sun Xiang's attack couldn't find a way to counterattack, and could only take a defensive stance, with both fists protecting his head and body tightly contracted. However, it wasn't long before Luoke felt something was off, the power in his legs far exceeded that of his arms, under such powerful kicks even the great emperor would feel overwhelmed, his arms quickly becoming numb, and his defense began to show openings.

  Roke changed his tactics and pounced on Sun Xiang, wanting to end the fight with a throw, but Sun Xiang's speed was superior to Roke's. As he retreated, Sun Xiang continuously struck Roke with powerful kicks, fully utilizing the strength of his free-fighting style. His fake and real moves constantly changed, leaving Roke's plans in vain, and he could only passively take the beating.

  The audience under the scene was excited by this series of kicks, and they kept shouting Steve! Cheer for Sun Xiang. The situation on the field is clear. Under Sun Xiang's pressure, Rock can't fight back at all, and he retreated to the edge of the ring step by step. Suddenly, Rock leaned back, and just as Sun Xiang was about to attack, Rock rushed back with an even faster speed and hugged Sun Xiang, trying to use his old trick again.

  The audience saw it clearly, Luo Ke used the ropes around the ring to rebound and attack Sun Xiang, causing a shockwave throughout the stadium! Sun Xiang didn't expect Luo Ke's move either, but he quickly wrapped his arms around him. With one foot inserted between Luo Ke's legs, he grabbed onto Luo Ke's belt and using his own momentum, he threw Luo Ke out of the ring with great force. This all happened in an instant, before the audience could even react, Luo Ke's massive body had already been flung out by Sun Xiang.

  Rocky lay on the ground for half a day without getting up, and the commentator's voice rang out: "1...2...3...10! Ladies and gentlemen! Our new champion is born! The officer from Washington has won! Let's cheer for him!"

  Harry angrily spat a big mouthful of saliva at Locke and then strode away.

  "Steve! Steve! Steve!..." The audience's cheers grew louder and louder.

  Sun Xiang just nodded to the people around him and walked down from the stage. Shirley rushed into his arms like a gust of wind, punching him with her fists and sobbing: "Don't ever participate in such a boxing match again, you scared me to death!" Sun Xiang smiled and teased the beautiful woman in his arms, feeling an indescribable sense of pride as he looked at the beauty who was shyly hiding in his arms.

  For the next two days, neither of them saw Harry on the ship again. Sun Xiang ran into a drunk Locke, and as for Locke, Sun Xiang didn't have any particularly bad feelings towards him. The two had a conversation at the bar...

  No one knew what they said, but from then on a faithful bodyguard appeared beside the great star Rita.

  The ship appeared in the port of Marseille two days later, and Sun Xiang, Sherry, Rita, and Luo Ke, a group of four, appeared at the port market. Sun Xiang's goal: First stop, France!
