Dragon Hidden in the Sky

"what!"

The agonizing screams of tearing apart echoed throughout the fifth floor of the underground casino.

Kurokami clutched his lower abdomen, his whole body trembling violently.

"What... happened?"

"How did the Black God fall?"

"Holy crap, seeing him curled up and covering himself, could it be... that bastard kicked him in the groin?"

"Holy crap, could this be a fake fight?!"

……

Gasps of surprise echoed around them, and upon seeing Kurokami fall to the ground, a staff member approached. His eyes were filled with panic, but he still obediently counted down, saying, "Ten!"

After about three or four seconds, he counted: "Nine!"

Compared to a normal countdown, he stretched out the time as much as possible.

Seeing his behavior, Ye Qing curled his lip, not caring too much at all. Anyway, he knew very well that the Black God would definitely not be able to stand up.

Unable to continue feigning weakness, he simply stood there, searching for Su Qing in the crowd.

Su Qing's figure was easy to spot, and soon he saw her on the steps, where she was jumping up excitedly.

Two million turned into nearly three hundred million in this one event. She was naturally overjoyed!

The staff member hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "One! One-Punch Man wins this round!"

The octagonal cage opened, and Ye Qing walked through the passageway on his own, heading towards the lounge.

When he entered the lounge, the remaining six people there all looked at him strangely.

There was a television in the lounge, showing the battle inside the octagon.

Seeing Ye Qing approach, the man wearing the rat mask greeted him, saying, "Master Ye, you're quite something! That punch just now, with such power at such a short distance, directly caused that Black God to have stomach cramps. You were pretending to be sick before!"

"Ahem!" Ye Qing coughed lightly and said, "It's about showing weakness to the enemy!"

"Hey, Mr. Rat, you've met your match today." The rat chuckled and said to the man in the leather suit, "You guys are all martial artists, right? Damn it, you're trying to steal our food from us Sanda practitioners. Is there no justice in this world?"

The man wearing the leather hood snorted coldly, then looked at Ye Qing and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have tricked the underground casino. There have been people betting on you to win, right?"

Ye Qing smiled slightly and said, "Guess!"

The man wearing the leather hood said calmly, "Let me remind you, it's easy to win small amounts of money at Fifth Master's place, but if you win big and want to take it away, it's not that simple... Be careful!"

"Oh?" Ye Qing glanced at him and said, "Thanks for reminding me!"

"Also, find a way to inform that person outside that you'll be facing me in the next round, and tell him not to place any bets, otherwise all the money you win will be lost!" said the man wearing the leather hood.

"Oh?" Ye Qing looked at Old Pi with slight surprise!

This person is the eight-time champion here. He doesn't participate often, nor is he one of Fifth Master's men, but whenever he participates, he seems to be able to win first place, so he must have real skills.

“I have my principles, I won’t throw a fight, and I desperately need this championship prize of 20,000 yuan, so… you will lose the next match!” Old Pi said.

"That's not necessarily true!" Ye Qing said, squinting.

At this moment, a staff member came to inform Lao Pi and another person to come on stage. After they left, the person wearing the rat mask came over and said, "Master Yi, not bad, you actually dare to talk to Lao Pi like that!"

"Is he very capable?" Ye Qing asked.

“Of course, even Fifth Master has to give him some face!” said the man wearing the rat mask.

"Someone like him is worried about 20,000 yuan?" Ye Qing said. "He could easily make a million yuan a year as someone's bodyguard!"

"Hey, who knows!" said the man wearing the rat mask. "It's said that Fifth Master offered him a five million annual salary, but he didn't even glance at it and only took the prize money from this championship."

"Master, you've trained before, right?" the rat said. "I also have some talent. How about you take me as your apprentice? I have a younger sister who is very beautiful!"

"Really?" Ye Qing asked, looking at him. "Do you have any photos?"

"I don't have any photos, but I'll send you a video later when we go out, okay? He's fourteen... still in the second year of junior high," the mouse said.

Ye Qing: "Sorry, I'm not a pervert!"

"I have an older sister, she's in her forties, but... she's still quite attractive!" the mouse said. "She's divorced now, with three children. If you don't mind, I can..."

Ye Qing looked at the mouse and said, "Your parents... they're quite prolific, the age gap is... huge..."

The mouse was taken aback and said, "Master, isn't your focus a bit strange?"

The two of them were quite talkative, and they started discussing it over there.

Not long after, Old Pi slowly walked in.

Sure enough, he won that match.

Ye Qing looked at him, and he looked at Ye Qing. The two exchanged a glance but did not speak. Old Pi walked to a corner and sat down by himself, seemingly not wanting to talk to anyone else.

……

Meanwhile, on the sixth floor of the underground casino.

Deep inside on the sixth floor, there was a room with extremely luxurious decor. On a huge sofa, a man with gray hair, who looked to be in his fifties, was sitting there, smiling as he looked at something on his phone.

Two people stood behind him, one of whom had long hair that was braided.

He wasn't wearing a mask, but a scar ran from the upper right corner of his face all the way to his left chin, making him look extremely ferocious.

The other person was dressed as a monk, wearing a cloth robe and with a smiling expression.

These three people were none other than Yang Yun, the owner of the underground casino, and his two bodyguards.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking on the door was deafening!

Fifth Master looked at his phone and said, "Come in!"

A short while later, a masked staff member came in nervously and said, "Fifth Master, something's happened!"

"Hmm?" Fifth Master, still looking at his phone, said, "What is it?"

"It seems like we've been eliminated! There's a guy in the underground boxing match today who seems to be playing dumb all along. From the qualifying rounds until now, someone has been going all in on him and he's already won nearly 300 million!" the person who came in said.

"Huh?" Fifth Master's pupils contracted, and then he suddenly raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he said, "What did you say?"
