Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1172: Double Champion

The governor’s lover also revealed her plan. Although she didn’t directly state the outcome, the gloomy-faced guy quickly understood why the martial arts competition was being transferred to that satellite because that is precisely Governor Xi’s territory.

Thinking of this, the gloomy-faced guy suddenly realized and laughed loudly, as if he could already see those three aliens being tormented there.

The governor’s lover’s plan gave him great confidence, and he excitedly rubbed his hands, pacing back and forth.

Since the attack that night, when Ba Lv was ambushed, Jiang Cheng and his two female students have become more cautious. Jiang Cheng himself wasn’t afraid, but he did feel some concern for his two female students.

Although this was a great training opportunity, due to the martial arts competition, martial artists from all directions gathered there. Among them, there were certainly masters, and Jiang Cheng had no doubt about that. Therefore, he had to warn Yanran and Ba Lv to be more careful.

Contrary to their teacher’s cautious mindset, Yanran and Ba Lv seemed eager to try.

It was a rare opportunity, with many masters gathering on this planet. Having the chance to spar with them was something martial artists longed for.

Surely, some shared the same idea. Although there were still a few days until the martial arts competition started, some people were already unsatisfied with just eating and doing nothing all day.

A secret message circulated among those participating in the martial arts competition. Organized by the local gambling syndicate, an underground tournament had already begun.

It was said that the winner would receive a very generous prize.

Although it was an underground competition, it received full support from Bordeaux’s Dark World. If anyone dared cause trouble there, they would become enemies of all the dark forces on the entire Bordeaux planet.

After hearing this news, Yanran and Ba Lv couldn’t help but rub their palms, eager to witness the underground events organized by the dark forces.

Regarding this matter, Ba Lv wasn’t as enthusiastic as Yanran. But understandably, Ba Lv came from the Dark World and had seen many hidden tournaments like this.

This underground competition on Bordeaux was just slightly larger in scale, with more participants, and the prize money was more; that’s all.

But Yanran was different.

Since childhood, Yanran was born in an ordinary family. From a young age, she was discovered to possess extraordinary abilities and thus was highly valued by the local sports circles.

Every day, she dutifully traveled between home, school, and the sports training center.

When she grew up, due to an accident, a disaster that changed her destiny, she became a precarious hunter on the Nameless Planet, fighting beasts daily to stave off hunger.

Fortunately, fate wasn’t too harsh on her. Jiang Cheng accidentally arrived at the Nameless Planet, discovered her, took her as a student, and brought her away from that barren and desolate place.

She had never experienced an underground competition before and was nearly dying of curiosity.

Ba Lv learned of Yanran’s curiosity and deliberately told her about the underground competitions she had participated in before, describing the brutal and cruel nature of those fights, full of variation.

Ba Lv truly had a way with words, vividly and lively recounting the scenes of the time.

After hearing her stories, Yanran became even more curious about the underground competition.

However, Jiang Cheng did not allow it.

Yanran knew her teacher was right. The underground tournaments were full of shady deals, and the fighters in the ring had become human machines.

Clearly, the audience in Zhou Country was passionate, but in their eyes, those fighters were just their bets.

As a pure martial artist, Jiang Cheng hated such places.

Because there, martial artists had completely lost their dignity.

In that place, they had become mere tools, human gambling devices.

In the eyes of martial artists like Jiang Cheng, it was inarguably a sad situation.

Just think, after all the hard work in martial arts training, to end up as a figure of amusement, like a doll, all for a bit of money.

To strike another with deadly intent. As a member of the Hua Family Country on Earth, a martial artist at the start of their journey would be taught certain rules by their teacher before the lessons even began. These rules were still followed by martial artists in the Hua Family Country to this day.

These rules are called - Martial Ethics!

As a traditional martial artist, Jiang Cheng strictly adhered to "Martial Ethics," and couldn’t ignore people or events violating these ethics if necessary.

Regarding underground boxing events, Jiang Cheng was unable to interfere forcibly.

Though these underground matches were unethical, Jiang Cheng also knew some desperate martial artists had no other skills to ensure their survival, except fighting in such arenas for meager earnings.

Jiang Cheng could not stop such things from happening, so he chose to stay out of it.

As for his two female students’ request to watch the underground boxing matches, his reply was just two words—no way!

As a result, despite Yanran and Ba Lv’s longing to see the underground boxing matches, Jiang Cheng’s firm words left them without any thoughts of defiance.

Yanran and Ba Lv dared not disobey their teacher’s orders, so they had to spend each day in their room, watching TV, playing with pets, to pass the time.

However, Jiang Cheng couldn’t watch over them all day. He was soon going to the local space agency to review the star system maps, something he had applied for two days earlier.

With the influx of martial artists pouring into Bordeaux, underground forces, unwilling to remain idle, organized underground boxing matches. It was said many people participated in these underground tournaments as a preliminary warm-up for the official martial arts competition held by the governing families.

Undeniably, the organizers of the underground matches were quite astute; they not only promised a hefty cash prize for the winner but also a prestigious title.

A title that could rival that of the official competition held by governing families.

Reportedly, if someone manages to win both the underground and the official martial arts competition, they would be called a "Double Crown King"!

After this statement was made, the martial artists of Bordeaux went mad.

If only generous prize money were offered, then it would lose its meaning to those not interested in money.

Additionally, some individuals, detached from physical desires, didn’t value material possessions highly, so the hefty prize money held little allure for them.

However, once the title of "Double Crown King" was spread, it was a different story.
