The crowd was silent.
"What's going on? Why isn't this guy using his internal energy?"
Li Li was also extremely puzzled at this moment, but he already had a guess in his heart, so he charged towards Li Zhonglou again.
This time, Li Zhonglou did not dodge.
Facing Li Li's sweeping kick, he could only rely on his body's instinct to raise his hand slightly to block it. Then, he felt like a truck had hit him, and he was sent flying to the other side uncontrollably!
He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air before crashing heavily onto the net again with a loud bang.
Bang!
The originally sturdy net shook from the impact, showing the ferocity of Li Li's kick!
"Brother Li!"
Ya Lili was instantly anxious and wanted to rush up to check on Li Zhonglou's condition, but Hua Yin grabbed her.
"Xiao Li, calm down! You can't act recklessly in this kind of situation!"
On the stage, Li Li suddenly shouted.
"You don't have internal energy?"
As soon as this was said, the crowd below the stage erupted.
"Holy crap, no way, he dared to participate in the competition without even having internal energy?"
"I knew something felt off. He knows such secret techniques, yet he didn't fight back with internal energy at all!"
"This is too bizarre, isn't it? Was his original plan to use this secret technique against masters of internal energy?"
"Wait a minute! If he really doesn't have internal energy, then..."
As they spoke, the crowd's gaze shifted towards Ma San.
Ma San's expression immediately darkened. People who came out of the Lost Land would indeed lose their internal energy, but he didn't believe Li Zhonglou's strength was only that! m..oΓg
"Brother Ma San..."
Hu Han naturally understood the meaning behind the crowd's gaze, so he looked at Ma San with concern.
"It's fine, let them think whatever they want."
Ma San said calmly with a darkened expression. At this moment, Hu Tian suddenly walked over.
"If you two are fine, get lost! Don't embarrass yourselves here!"
Hu Han's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Brother Tian, please don't be angry. Brother Ma San's 'Intercepting Bridge Horse' characteristic is like this; as long as it's interrupted, he will suffer a backlash. The opponent was just lucky. If it happens again, Brother Ma San will definitely not lose!"
Hu Tian glared, wanting to say more, but Li Li on the stage spoke again, drawing everyone's attention back.
"This is too ridiculous. I, a gold-medal bodyguard, have to fight someone who doesn't even have internal energy. What is this supposed to be?"
Li Li's face was full of dissatisfaction, seemingly feeling insulted by fighting someone without internal energy.
Tong Wu's expression changed drastically. After all, Li Zhonglou was someone he had personally selected. Li Li's words now pointed the finger directly at him.
This damned guy, he really can't achieve anything significant!
With things having developed to this point, Li Zhonglou was half-lying on the side of the stage, unable to even stand up. After a moment of contemplation, Tong Wu immediately made a decision.
He suddenly walked onto the stage holding a microphone.
"I apologize for my oversight! I didn't expect him to not have internal energy and still participate in the competition. I am very sorry."
Tong Wu's attitude was very sincere. As soon as he came up, he took all the blame onto himself. Of course, he also inadvertently shifted the core of the problem to Li Zhonglou.
I was indeed at fault, but the fundamental reason for this matter isn't me. I didn't expect someone without internal energy to dare to participate in the competition!
The core of these words, when translated, essentially pointed the finger at Li Zhonglou, which was precisely the decision Tong Wu made after hesitating for a moment.
After speaking, he immediately announced the result of the match.
"In this arena match, the landlord will change..."
"Wait, wait a minute."
Just as Tong Wu was about to say the word 'person', he was suddenly interrupted by a slightly weak voice.
Tong Wu turned his gaze, only to find that the person who interrupted him was Li Zhonglou!
His brow furrowed, and he said with some impatience, "The outcome is already decided. What else do you want to say?"
Li Zhonglou steadily adjusted his breathing. After the previous adjustment, he had recovered slightly and slowly stood up.
"Who says the outcome is decided? I don't think I've conceded."
His voice, though weak, was clearly heard by everyone.
"Is this kid out of his mind? He's been beaten so badly and still won't concede?"
"This guy is either stubborn or stupid! He's not in the same league as Senior Li. What's the point of struggling? No matter how strong a cockroach is, it's still a cockroach! If it can't be crushed to death with one foot, it'll just be stepped on a couple more times!"
The person who just said this suddenly felt a piercing gaze. He subconsciously looked back and saw that the young man on the high platform was looking at him.
Could it be that he's being noticed because what I said makes sense?
The man's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly smiled and greeted Long Shi.
Long Shi's face darkened immediately, and he then moved his gaze away. Forget it, it's just a mentally ill person, not worth my concern.
Tong Wu on the stage also had a similarly unpleasant expression.
Because Li Zhonglou's words were no longer just him being stubborn; it was now undermining him and contradicting him!
"You mean you still want to continue fighting? I must remind you, although death is not allowed here, we will not bear any responsibility for broken hands or legs!"
This statement, at first glance, seemed like a reminder, but in reality, it was a warning, even a threat. The crowd below the stage frowned slightly, but quickly understood why Tong Wu was like this.
Indeed, who wouldn't be unhappy if someone without internal energy dared to challenge them like this?
"I understand the rules, but who wins and who loses is not yet determined."
Li Zhonglou smiled slightly, but his face was still a little pale, making the smile look a bit like a desperate resistance.
"Why isn't Brother Li conceding?"
In the crowd, Ya Lili's face was filled with anxiety and confusion. Even she could see that there was no chance of victory in this situation. Moreover, Tong Wu's words, although carrying personal emotion, were indeed facts. If they continued to fight, it was hard to say what would happen!
Hua Yin, who was usually composed, frowned and murmured, "Could this guy be doing this for you? Xiao Li, does he like you?"
"Ah?"
Ya Lili, who was extremely anxious, was stunned and quickly explained.
"Sister Yin, please don't misunderstand. How could Brother Li like me? Brother Li is already married."
"Heh, married men are the most scummy, didn't you know?"
Ya Lili said with some dissatisfaction, "Sister Yin, you can't talk about Brother Li like that. Brother Li is a good person!"
