new kung fu king

Chapter 739 Finally Surpassing Brother Xiaolong

At the beginning of March 1984, Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee went to Las Vegas, USA to discuss the specific specifications and precautions of the Huayang boxing match with representatives of the two major American boxing leagues.

The meeting place was chosen in Caesar's Palace. To Wang Xiaohu's surprise, besides the representative of the boxing alliance, the old guy Kerkorian, the gambling king, also came to join in.

All morning, the two sides were arguing. Basically, the Yankees were more afraid of moves such as raising gears and catching eyes in Chinese Kung Fu, and demanded that these "despicable" moves be strictly prohibited in the competition.

Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and whispered to Bruce Lee: "I've had enough, you have dealt with Yankees a lot, you can discuss the specific matters, I'll go out to let you know."

Li Xiaolong hummed, and he wasn't depressed because Wang Xiaohu was acting as a hands-off shopkeeper. After all, he understood the importance of Huayang boxing competitions to the perfection of the MMA fighting system and rules.

If you want to promote MMA in the world fighting world, you must cross the mountain of boxing. As long as the Yankees have no objections, the rest is publicity and hype. Bruce Lee's enthusiasm for this is beyond Wang Xiaohu's reach.

Just as Wang Xiaohu left the negotiation site, Kerkorian also slipped out.

"Hi Tiger."

"Old guy, you're not dead yet!" Wang Xiaohu scolded with a smile, "Why did you appear here?"

Kerkorian shrugged and said helplessly: "Have you forgotten that I am one of the owners here? I am the king of gambling, and Las Vegas is my property. The Huayang boxing match is held here. I It's a matter of course for the master to participate, isn't it?"

Wang Xiaohu didn't think it was a coincidence that the venue of the match was in Las Vegas. He tilted his head and looked at Kerkorian and said, "Really? Why do I feel that you did it on purpose? With your means and connections, you interfered with the location of the match." It is very easy to do.”

"Dude, you're so smart!" Kerkorian, who is a bachelor, said bluntly: "I've seen your "Ip Man 2", to be honest, it's very exciting, especially when I heard that you agreed to the two major boxing leagues for no reason. After asking, I think this is another opportunity to boost the box office of "Ip Man 2" in North America, so I tried my best to take it over, should you thank me for cooperating with your plan?"

Wang Xiaohu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hell, aren't you worried that our box office will plummet if we lose the game?"

"Of course I am worried about this, but don't forget that I am also a gambler. Compared with the meager box office, if boxing can win the game, I will win hundreds of millions of dollars in reports." Kerkorian smiled He lit a cigar and said: "Although you are indeed very strong, you must know that there are five players in the competition. I don't believe that among the remaining four players, there are players stronger than you."

"So you bought us at the opening and lost?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

"Yes, I know you must be unhappy, but I can't make things difficult for money!" Kerkorian patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "Dude, don't underestimate some boxing champions, some guys have participated in black market boxing, if If you think they're afraid of Chinese kung fu kicks, you're dead wrong."

"It seems that you are planning a strategy." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, "I don't know if you have any inside information to break the news."

"Hey, you'll know when the time comes, don't you?" Kerkorian rolled his eyes, laughed and walked away. Before he left, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a serious expression: "Tiger, if you regret it now It's too late, you know, once you lose the game, not only will the box office plummet, but several other Hollywood companies will take the opportunity to carve up your territory."

"Thank you for your advice, old guy." Wang Xiaohu waved to him, and after seeing the gambling king leave, he walked around the Caesars Palace with his chin in his hand.

From Kerkorian's words, Wang Xiaohu has confirmed at least two things. First, the two major boxing leagues must prescribe the right medicine according to the characteristics of Chinese Kung Fu. Some of them have even participated in black market boxing matches.

In fact, this is not surprising. Many heavyweight boxing champions have participated in black market boxing matches, not for the prize money of black market boxing, but as a stepping stone to improve their strength. I think Bruce Lee participated in the black market just to seek a breakthrough. He punched, and he was almost crippled in the end.

Second, several major Hollywood film companies have also participated in the planning of this competition. After all, Concorde International has always been a foreign account in their eyes. Moreover, the top ten North American box office works in the past few years have all been produced by Concorde International. Wang Xiaohu knows who that group is without thinking The Yankees hated themselves.

If he wins the Huayang boxing match, it will not only be of great significance to the promotion of MMA, but also establish the position of Xiehe International in Hollywood.But when it fails.
Near noon, when the first round of discussions was over, Bruce Lee returned to the guest room with a relaxed expression on his face, and said, "Xiaohu, we have basically settled the deal this morning. They have no objection to the MMA model we proposed. Of course, after falling to the ground, you can The hypothesis of re-attack was denied by them. We will discuss the time of the game in the afternoon.”

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu nodded, and said: "I think. After the discussion is over, let's go back immediately. In addition, your training for Danny should be raised to a higher level, and I also need to practice in seclusion."

"Xiao Hu, what's the matter with you, I feel like you have something on your mind." Bruce Lee asked with a frown.

"When you went to discuss in the afternoon, try to get the opponent's list. I got the news from Kerkorian that some of the opponent's players may have participated in black market boxing. We must increase the intensity of training to deal with emergencies."

After Dragon and Tiger came back, Wang Xiaohu put down everything and practiced in retreat with Bruce Lee, Zhen Zi, Billy Zhou and others.

The black boxing market in the United States is intricate, and even a fierce man like Bruce Lee has made somersaults, which shows that there are also many talented people in it, and the United States has not submitted a list of players, which is obviously hiding its strength.

In any case, it deserves Wang Xiaohu's attention.So before the competition, he not only had to improve his martial arts, but also urged Zhen Zi, Zhou Billy and others to improve, and even asked Shen Zhong to choose a few muay thai fighters from Southeast Asian underground boxing as sparring partners.

No matter what the rules are, black market boxers aim to knock down their opponents, so Zhen Bullet, Zhou Billy and others suffered a lot.

Phew, in the training room, Wang Xiaohu exhausted all his strength to hit a split fist, this is the most ferocious punch he has ever struck with a tiger-shaped split fist since he practiced boxing, and his strength still broke through the limit.

Ordinarily, this effect is enough for him to be satisfied and proud, but he frowned and said: "Brother Xiaolong, I have penetrated the dark energy all over my body, but after all, I can't reach the internal organs."

"So fast!" Li Xiaolong was taken aback, and after looking at Wang Xiaohu for a long time, he said: "Yes, you have rarely suffered injuries since your debut, and you have entered the dark energy level in your prime, so you are faster than me in breaking through. As for the next level, I have no idea so far, I just heard that it has something to do with cats."

"Is it related to cats? Tigers? Leopards?" Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Bruce Lee also couldn't laugh or cry: "Yes, if I hadn't been collecting and perfecting the national martial arts plan in the past few years, I wouldn't have heard some old news from those old boxers, but most of them are illiterate, and some of them have already reached that level. , but can’t explain it in words or words, and some people even brag about it with Taoist mysterious things. Anyway, Xingyiquan has given a clear hint.”

"What is it?" Wang Xiaohu asked anxiously.

"Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound. A boxer even said that if you want to understand the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, the best way is to buy a kitten to hold it every day, or go to a temple to ring the bell, and then put your hands on it to experience it. Bruce Lee scratched his head and said, "One of the most unreliable guys inside said that practicing boxing on a thunderstorm and rainy day will give you a deeper experience. Hearing it is nonsense. Isn't he afraid of lightning strikes?"

Bruce Lee laughed out loud after he finished speaking, but Wang Xiaohu fell into deep thought. He had never tried the method of holding a cat or ringing the bell before, let alone practicing boxing during thunder and rain, but he suddenly remembered eight years ago The scene when the earth shakes on Mount T.

Although eight years have passed, those thrilling scenes are still vividly imprinted in Wang Xiaohu's mind.

He stood there like that, and with the inspiration he captured from Bruce Lee's words, he seemed to return to the situation eight years ago.

Like a sharp knife, like a thunderbolt, and like a war drum, the "wind" sounded from far to near, and the earth trembled from the inside to the outside with the strange sound.
He clearly remembered that the sky was getting brighter and brighter at that time, at the moment when the earth's light burst out of the earth's crust and reached the sky, Wang Xiaohu suddenly trembled, his mind seemed to expand countless times, and flew to the sky along the earth's light.

At the same time, his body trembled again, and there was a slight sound from inside to outside. Although the sound was small, Bruce Lee could hear it keenly. He stared at Wang Xiaohu with wide eyes and opened his mouth wide enough to swallow two. eggs.

Wang Xiaohu kept shaking like that for five or six minutes before he let out a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes and smiled at Bruce Lee: "Brother Xiaolong, I seem to have found the trick. The tiger, leopard and leiyin are really wonderful, so that's it. I see."

"Quickly tell me how you experienced it, how it feels." Bruce Lee was a martial idiot, and his impatience came up again, he grabbed Wang Xiaohu's arm and asked hurriedly.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that these things can only be helpful if you experience them yourself. Although I understand the truth now, my kung fu is just at the beginning, and my bones still need to be strengthened. It is incomparable to connect the inside and the outside, and go deep into the internal organs.”

Hearing the words, Bruce Lee not only sighed: "Hey, I was too impatient. How can this kind of thing be forced? It depends not only on comprehension, but also chance and luck. Xiaohu, you finally surpassed me."
