Chapter 247 caused public outrage!
Even the two CEOs of Ruanxing Technology, Yao Zhuangxian and Zhang Xiaoquan, who came to inspect, smiled and encouraged:

"If you make it to the finals, your avatar and poster will be used for the peripheral products of Chinese Paladin 1."

"Also, if we launch an online version of the game later, we'll let you be the spokesperson like we did for The Legend of the Jinyong Heroes!"

"This is what you said, Mr. Yao and Mr. Zhang. I'll remember it first."

Du Sheng knew everyone's good intentions and said with a smile:

"And there are a few people over there who said they'd treat us if we win. Did Yaoyang take note of that?"

Li Dachao, Ma Lisheng and others burst into laughter.

I understand that this person is relaxed and not nervous at all.

They were relieved.

After all, everyone will be prosperous if they gain, and everyone will suffer if they lose.

After Du Sheng finished dealing with the aftermath, seeing that it was almost time, he said goodbye to everyone.

Since Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi and other girls had not caught up with the filming progress, no one asked to go with him this time. They just asked him to help buy some delicious food and jewelry.

This made Wang Yaoyang feel relieved.

Because Yang Mi and the other two girls had so much fun last time, not only did he have to help clean up the mess, but he also had to carry several large bags of things, and he became a complete laborer...

Despite this, there were quite a few people traveling this time.

I won’t talk about Ma Yaowei, Zhang Haolong and others who have made up their minds.

The news of their big fortune in Neon last time spread, so today they were going there with everyone's "high hopes" on their shoulders.

In addition, since Ye Jingzhi was busy with the "Kung Fu" program, the expansion of "Kung Fu School" and the cooperation on the "Ten Thousand Reasons" album, she was not available this time, so Wang Jinhua took the initiative to lead the team instead.

She has a lot to take care of.

For example, we had a pleasant cooperation with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Neon last time, so strengthening cooperation this time became inevitable.

There is also the need to liaise with the organisers, and deal with aspects such as advertising and sponsorship, so that was all taken up yesterday.

Also joining the group were Ju Jueliang, Jiang Fude and others who just wanted to join in the fun.

This time it was quite lively.

It can also be seen from the side that even if Du Sheng faces those European giants in this battle, they still have some confidence.

Even Zheng Ziyan will bring the interview team with her.

He said he wanted to give him a full interview.

After leaving the set, everyone got in the car and headed straight to Lemonbo Airport.

"The results are out, right? Yao Wei hasn't sent back a message yet?"

Du Sheng asked casually while replying to text messages from Zhang Baizhi, Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Tao and others.

"The list for the quarterfinals has been finalized and was sent back yesterday."

Wang Yaoyang laughed, his eyes flashing with gossip and enthusiasm:

"This competition will be held at the Neon Martial Arts Hall, which can accommodate nearly 2 people!"

Neon Budokan is a multi-functional sports facility located in Chiyoda-ku, Kyoto. It is also octagonal in design, with two underground floors and three above-ground floors.

All 1 spectator seats and 4 seats are open, and can indeed accommodate nearly 5 people.

In addition to being used in traditional martial arts competitions such as kendo and karate, it also frequently hosts large-scale events such as martial arts performances, concerts, professional boxing, and professional wrestling.

"Except for you, an Asian face, the rest of the top eight are all Western giants."

At this point, he excitedly added:
"Brother Sheng, you are the pride of Asia!"

"That's right. It's only once that a Japanese boxer can make it to the quarterfinals of K1 GP, even if the organizers cheat."

Zhang Haolong took over the conversation, with a bit of pride in his tone:

"Brother Sheng, your record is unique anywhere in Asia!"

He seemed to remember something, and suddenly said with some joy:
"By the way, there was an interesting anecdote in last week's resurrection match.

The New Zealand boxing champion, known as the "heavy gunner", ruthlessly defeated Japan's first king Sasaki.

All members of Neon were eliminated again, and the atmosphere in the stadium was so bleak at that time, haha——"

He deliberately prolonged his voice, with a gleam of gloating in his eyes.

Du Sheng raised a faint smile and said:
"There are very few boxers in China who can make it to this kind of no-rules match, let alone in Japan."

Last year, due to the severe ridicule from Japanese boxing fans, the K1 organizers conducted some research and finally opened the K1 MAX 70KG track.

However, apart from the Western holy land of stand-up fighting, Horan, very few people come to participate.

Wang Yaoyang flipped through the chat records and said:
“Come to think of it, among the top eight this time, more than half of them are from Huolan.

What’s even more exaggerated is that all five of them are veterans who have reached the finals or even won the championship.

This lineup can only be described as a crushing victory!"

Zhang Haolong pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice:

“The most exciting thing is that when the draw results came out the day before yesterday, the entire martial arts community went wild.

Brother Sheng, do you know who you are fighting against?"

"Hey, we guessed it right before."

Wang Yaoyang was also somewhat excited and said:
“It’s the 2001 champion, Mark Hunt!
This is simply a showdown between Mars and the Earth, it’s exciting just to think about it!”

Du Sheng's eyes flickered with a hint of amusement:

"A duel between two yellow people? It's really interesting."

He wondered whether the organizer had interfered in this matter.

However, Mark Hunter is a New Zealander, which is quite different from Asian Chinese.

To be honest, everyone had guessed Du Sheng’s opponent when they were bored before.

In particular, the 'Fighting Bomber' Mark Hunt and the 'Four-time Champion' Just have been all over the news in Japan.

Unfortunately, to their disappointment, Du Sheng did not face Hu Site in the quarterfinals.

But it doesn’t matter, Mark Hunt is just as strong.

No one who can win the K1 GP championship is a normal person. In their subconscious, with a weight difference of 64 kilograms, it would only take a few minutes for Mark Hunt to knock out Du Sheng.

"Brother Sheng, you don't seem to be worried at all?"

Wang Yaoyang hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the car fell silent and everyone turned their heads to look over.

"Mark is known as the best puncher in UFC. Last year, he smashed his opponent's jaw with one punch. His explosive power is amazing!"

"Not only that, he is also known as One Punch Man and is currently ranked in the top 3 in the New Zealand heavyweight division!"

If it were them, let alone dare to confront such a giant, they would probably tremble even when stepping into the boxing ring.

I'm afraid that the other party will punch me in the head.

However, Du Sheng sat there calmly and even had the mood to play with his mobile phone, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Du Sheng just smiled faintly:
"There are successes and failures in life. No one is blessed with everything. What is there to worry about?"

Everyone was confused as to who the success or failure was referring to.

But judging from his tone, his mentality is indeed better than expected.

This is indeed very rare for someone who is about to compete on stage.

If you worry too much about gains and losses, I'm afraid the 55-46 split will become -.

In fact, Du Sheng was not too worried.

Mark's punching power, timing and accuracy are truly second to none.

As long as he hits you in the head, the fight will end without any follow-up punches.

But Mark's shortcomings are also very obvious and he can be easily targeted.

One is the height issue, and weight can make up for it.

With a height of 178cm, he always keeps his weight over 110kg in order to pack a powerful punch.

This results in a slightly slower pace of movement, and regardless of winning or losing, in almost every match, he takes a number of heavy blows that other players cannot withstand.

The second is his ground skills, which are almost non-existent. He doesn't dare to get on the ground with many players, so he didn't have very good results after two years of UFC, so he returned to the K1 stage.

So the record is a mixed bag of wins and losses.

The third is the age issue. I am already 30 years old this year.

The peak was hard to maintain, his chin was no longer as hard as iron.

A few years ago when he was in PRIDE, he could use his head and chin to withstand his opponents' high kicks of six or seven hundred pounds and stand firm.

At the beginning of this year, this unique skill was broken by someone, and he staggered and almost fell after being knocked down by a punch.

To sum up, Du Sheng is really not a coward.

Even if the opponent was in his prime, he could still fight him head-on with his iron-hard body of the fifth level of "Dragon Elephant".

Of course, the prerequisite is that the internal organs are not injured by the impact.

"Just you three?"

"Yes, thanks, Ah Sheng. We didn't have to make this trip in vain!"

After picking up Zheng Ziyan and the other two, the two cars headed straight to Ningbo Airport.

At this moment, everyone was still talking about the message sent by Ma Yaowei.

The most popular among them is the fantasy of many Japanese netizens who are eager to see Du Sheng being brutally abused by the Big Mac.

"Hey, Yao Wei sent me another series of topics from the K1 GP forum!"

Zhang Haolong suddenly laughed out loud:
"Brother Sheng, look at this, it's getting really interesting. Japanese netizens are all asking if you don't dare to accept the challenge?"

Du Sheng took a glance and shook his head speechlessly.

"Damn it! I really want to see him get beaten up, but it's a pity I can't get a ticket."

"I can watch it on TV, but the atmosphere is not right and it's hard to vent my anger!"

“Ask the ‘Eastern Coward’ when he was beaten?
If no one answers, I will ask again later. "

Zhang Haolong read several messages from netizens.

"Wow, everyone is talking about Du Sheng VS Mark Hunt!"

"Haha, Brother Sheng, you have incurred public wrath."

"They all hope you get beaten up. They are very angry."

Wang Yaoyang and others laughed when they saw this.

Zheng Ziyan frowned:
"They call Ah Shengmiao an 'Oriental coward'?"

She knew the ironic meaning of the name and even knew where it came from.

At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the East submitted nearly thirty events and sent a delegation of dozens of people.

In all the events, except for the pole vaulter who entered the semi-finals, all others were eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

It is said that at that time, a reporter from the United States published a cartoon in a newspaper in Singapore, satirizing Orientals as "sick men of East Asia".

"The Japanese players were completely wiped out, and all they can do is rage helplessly on the internet."

Zhang Haolong shrugged and said:
"You can't just gag them, can you?"

Zheng Ziyan opened her mouth, but had nothing to say.

Although she was a little angry, she couldn't vent her anger on the people around her.

So I decided to focus on realism during this interview, and to focus the visual on the "impotent rage" of Japanese fans, in order to highlight Du Sheng's greatness.

She has already thought of a title:

"Chinese enter the K1 semi-finals! Japanese boxing fans are furious and roar, smashing the TV live broadcast!"

Du Sheng ignored the girl's wild thoughts and continued to smile:
"There are so many boxing fans and gamblers in Japan, isn't there anyone who wants me to win?"
