Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 11: Bravery
The monkey was severely injured, which terrified the members of the Ninth Middle School Martial Arts Team.

Practicing martial arts is for a better life. Martial arts teams offer generous benefits, but it's not worth risking your life for.

The second to take the stage was Wang Tiesong, who practiced the Golden Bull Fist, which combined strength and endurance. Although he was not as big as Bai Xiang, he was not much smaller.

Wang Tiesong was clearly frightened and fought back timidly, still thinking about fighting Bai Xiangyou.

Despite his large size, Bai Xiang was incredibly powerful. He cornered Wang Tiesong and unleashed a fierce combination of punches, including a hook punch that struck Wang Tiesong in the chin, knocking his mouthguard off.

Wang Tiesong leaned against the glass wall and slowly slumped into a ball, unconscious.

The students from No. 9 Middle School were still cheering for their team when this punch silenced them completely.

Paramedics rushed onto the stage, and Gao Wu naturally went up to help. Wang Tiesong, being such a large man, was completely slumped over; lifting him wouldn't be easy, and he definitely needed assistance.

Gao Wu also helped Wang Tiesong wipe the blood from his mouth and cast a Azure Dragon Divine Qi spell on him.

Bai Xiang's punch was too heavy; the poor child's jaw was shattered, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ultimately, even if they weren't close friends, there weren't any major conflicts. At most, they just didn't like each other.

The human body is both precious and fragile. Every time the body suffers a severe injury, even after recovery, it will significantly deplete its vitality.

Even if someone as severely injured as Wang Tiesong recovers, it will significantly deplete their life force. To put it bluntly, Wang Tiesong's path in martial arts may very well come to an end here.

The large-scale training of martial artists is for the purpose of fighting against alien beasts. The path of the martial artist is inherently cruel.

Martial arts leagues are an important part of the martial arts training system. However, high school leagues are relatively mild, and such consecutive serious injuries are extremely rare.

The members of the No. 9 Middle School martial arts team all kept their heads down, and no one dared to look at their coach, Huang Hai.

Two people were seriously injured in succession, which really scared them. Now they are afraid of being called by the coach.

Huang Hai's face darkened. His disciples were so cowardly; it was truly shameful.

His gaze swept over Gao Wu and found that the kid showed no fear at all, but instead looked eager to try.

Then look at Huanglong, sitting there with his head drooping, his big body hunched over and looking like he's about to shrink into a ball.

Huang Hai had wanted his nephew to go on stage and show his face, at least to let everyone at No. 9 Middle School see Huang Long's courage. But with Huang Long like this, going up there would only be embarrassing for him.

If he were to be seriously injured, that would be a problem.

But Gao Wu, that kid, really has some courage and bravery, which makes him look at him with new respect.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Hai said to Gao Wu, "You're the main officer today. Go ahead, and don't embarrass Ninth Middle School."

"Thank you, Coach, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely do my best to win!" Gao Wu didn't dare to say that he could definitely beat Bai Xiang, but he was very willing to go up and have a go with this ferocious guy.

Huang Hai didn't want Gao Wu to lose too badly; his pride was more important at this moment. Seeing Gao Wu's positive attitude and lack of fear, he was quite satisfied.

He patiently analyzed Bai Xiang's condition for Gao Wu, "Bai Xiang's eyes are bloodshot, he may have been injected with Red Dragon Serum, which can increase muscle strength by about 30% in a short period of time. This drug is very effective, but it consumes a lot of energy. With Bai Xiang's tall body, he can't last long."

"Bai Xiang is so brutal because he deliberately establishes his authority, so that people dare not fight him to the death, and he can kill five people in the shortest time."

He glanced at Bai Xiang in the ring, assessed his general condition, and then continued, "Your strengths are your ability to withstand blows and your stamina. When you go up there, pay attention to your footwork and don't give Bai Xiang a chance to take you down."

"If we can hold out until the third round, we'll have a chance to win."

"Coach, I understand."

Gao Wu thought the same thing. He just didn't know the effects of the Red Dragon Serum. After Huang Hai's explanation, he understood.

Having a large body weight and a lot of muscle is a huge advantage, but it also means a huge energy expenditure.

A three-minute round of fighting may not seem like a long time, but if you keep throwing punches and moving, the physical exertion is astonishing.

Especially since Bai Xiang also received injections of medication, his physical exertion at least doubled.

Huang Hai lowered his voice and said to Gao Wu, "I have a nerve overclocking agent, which is commonly known as flying mouse drug. After injection, it can enhance the five senses, strengthen nerve reaction speed, and make your attention exceptionally focused."

"The flying rat poison lasts for about an hour and doesn't consume much. It can also enhance your nerve reflexes afterward. You're far behind Bai Xiang; if you want to win, you have to be ruthless with yourself."

Gao Wu was somewhat tempted, but he really didn't trust Huang Hai.

This drug, specifically designed for combat, acts directly on the central nervous system. It can easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier, causing damage to brain tissue and resulting in even greater side effects.

The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra can heal damage to the body and internal organs, but it may not be able to cure the damage caused by this kind of nerve drug. With the Book of Immeasurable Merit, he can move forward steadily without needing to be aggressive or take risks. There's even less need to care too much about the outcome of a single match.

"Thank you, Coach, but the medicine is too expensive, I can't bear to spend the money," Gao Wu said. "Let me try it first."

"Whatever you want." Huang Hai didn't force the issue. The league doesn't prohibit injecting drugs, but it doesn't encourage it either.

The choice is entirely up to the martial artist. Forcing students to inject drugs is a serious crime.

Gao Wu tied his black headband, did a few warm-up exercises, and then stepped lightly into the arena.

The middle-aged referee came over and carefully inspected the headband, fingerless boxing gloves, and shoes. The headband was made of a special material that could effectively protect the temples and back of the head.

Finger gloves provide protection for both fighters in a match.

The competition shoes are designed like cloth shoes, but are actually sock-like. The material is stiff and does not easily deform, yet it is very soft.

Firstly, to protect the toes, and secondly, for aesthetic reasons.

The league has been running for decades, and its rules are very well-established.

The martial arts uniforms and shoes used in the competition are all of the same style and are required to be elegant and aesthetically pleasing. There are also certain requirements for the appearance of the martial artists.

Overall, the goal is to showcase the positive spirit of martial artists and convey positive values ​​to the public.

Gao Wu, dressed in a loose gray-white martial arts uniform that revealed the collar and cuffs of his snow-white undershirt, stood in the center of the ring with an upright and slender posture that made him very presentable.

In particular, Gao Wu's eyes and brows exuded a vibrant and high-spirited fighting spirit, making him far superior to the two boys before him.

The large screen at the scene clearly displayed the subtle expressions on Gao Wu's face.

Seeing this, the students of No. 9 Middle School, who had been suppressed for a long time, couldn't help but applaud and cheer, cheering for Gao Wu.

Many people came specifically for Gao Wu, and they were very excited to see him appear. Some were even shouting Gao Wu's nickname: "Gao Sheng will surely win! Gao Sheng will surely win!"

This niche nickname isn't widely known. But its sudden appearance at this time has inspired many people to spontaneously shout it out.

No one likes to lose, and as students of No. 9 Middle School, they were all desperately eager to win at this moment. They longed for Gao Wu to decisively defeat the fierce Bai Xiang.

The likes and dislikes of young people are so simple and straightforward.

Many people also thought that Gao Sheng was Gao Wu's name, and they all shouted it out.

The shouts of "Gao Sheng will surely win!" quickly turned into a unified roar, echoing and surging throughout the vast martial arts hall, seemingly about to lift the ceiling of the hall.

All other noises were swallowed up by the deafening shouts of thousands of people.

Even watching the game on her tablet, Song Mingyue could feel the enthusiastic atmosphere.

She paid no attention to any of that, and just focused on watching Gao Wu on the stage, who was bowing to all sides.

The youthful spirit and fighting will that soared between his brows were more resolute and powerful than any roaring shout.

Sitting in the back row of the martial arts team, Shen Yue was recording this scene on his phone. He had already decided to make a series of videos featuring Gao Wu as the main character.

At that moment, he couldn't help but join the group in shouting in unison, "Great Sage, victory is assured!"

No matter how loudly he shouted, he held his phone firmly, determined to record these moments, to document the passionate journey of a young man's growth! Even if he failed, such a story still possesses an exciting power.

Bai Xiang, standing in the center of the arena, looked down at Gao Wu. After a moment's thought, he said, "You're the guy who saved people, huh..."

Bai Xiang, with his burly, smug face and a contemptuous smile, shook his finger at Gao Wu: "This is a fighting ring, not a place for internet celebrities to put on a show!"

Gao Wu grinned and pointed at Bai Xiang's big face, saying enthusiastically, "Hey classmate, wipe your face."

He paused for a moment before slowly saying, "You've wiped it clean, I'm going to show it off to you later."

"You, damn it..." Bai Xiang, who had been injected with the drug, was already manic. He suddenly became furious, his face turning bright red, and even his neck turned red.

Hongwen's white neck was not laughable; on the contrary, it resembled a raging beast, exuding a terrifying ferocity.

Looking at the large screen, many students were intimidated by Bai Xiang's fierce appearance, and their once-unified shouts became somewhat scattered...
