Chapter 16 Onstage and Offstage
"Hello, everyone, welcome to my live stream."
"Look, the match is about to begin, and the opponent is already on the stage getting ready."
Ren Donglai turned the camera toward the arena, where a man in his thirties was warming up.
"This guy practices Yong Chun and claims to have been practicing for over a decade. He insists on challenging me, so today I will prove once again to everyone that Traditional Martial Arts is no longer suited for modern combat."
After saying this, Ren Donglai handed his phone to someone else, took off his jacket, and stepped into the arena.
"Welcome our very own, Ren——Dong——lai!!!"
The announcer's voice filled the entire venue, and cheers erupted from the crowd.
This venue was Ren Donglai's Martial Arts Hall, and the majority of those present were his students and team members—a true home field advantage. In contrast, his opponent stood forlornly alone on stage, with not a single person cheering for him from below.
"Ladies and gentlemen present here, and those watching the live stream, this match is about to begin."
"On my left, we have today's challenger, Li Mao, standing at 1.72 meters tall, weighing 72 KG, and has practiced Yong Chun Fist for twelve years."
"On my right, we have Ren Donglai, standing at 1.81 meters tall, weighing 75 KG, the 2017 Free Fighting National Champion winner!"
