Chapter 53: The Tiger List Storm (Part 1)

  Time flew by and it was already evening. After dinner, Zhao Tiezhu received a call from Leizi, who had already arrived at "Golden Heaven". Zhao Tiezhu bid farewell to the girls and opened QQ, rushing towards Golden Heaven. Meanwhile, in the underground boxing arena of Golden Heaven, the usual bustle had disappeared, replaced by dozens of people with cold expressions, either sitting cross-legged or closing their eyes on chairs, some even practicing punching against targets.

  In a dimly lit corner, an old man with a gloomy face was listening to a young man's report.

  "Are you sure Zhao Tiezhu will come here tonight?" The old man asked in a low voice.

  "Yes, he's in charge of security at night." The young man replied respectfully.

  "Alright, you can go down now." The old man ordered. The young man bowed and retreated, the old man's eyes clouded over with anger. "Zhao Tiezhu, you killed two of my disciples. I thought you were from the National Security Bureau's Special Operations Division. I never thought that someone above would also be dissatisfied with you. It's really heaven helping me. Tonight, this place will be your burial ground!" The aura around him suddenly surged, and the people beside him instantly revealed shocked expressions, hastily retreating away from the old man.

  This man is none other than Huang Kai Tian, Lie Ying, the ninth on the Dragon List.

  Many people around recognized the old man, today was just a ranking match for the Tiger List, yet it actually attracted this ninth-ranked master of the Dragon List to come and watch, could it be that one of his disciples or friends was competing today? The crowd was shocked and uncertain.

  Zhao Tiezhu's yellow QQ appeared at the entrance of the Golden Heaven Gate. After parking the car, Lei Zi had already walked up.

  "Brother Tiezhu, you have a good taste! Open QQ." Leizi said with a smile.

  "That's it, I'm a man who has transcended lowly desires. Let's go, how do we get to the underground boxing arena?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

  "Follow me, I just found out yesterday from my grandfather that this Golden Heaven actually has an underground boxing arena. It seems like the Golden Heaven is a branch of a large nightclub in BJ, with a very complicated background." Lei Zi said in a low voice as he led Zhao Tiezhu into the Golden Heaven.

  The general manager of Jintian, Sun Zhi, was already waiting in the lobby and hurried over to greet Zhao Tiezhu as soon as he saw him enter.

  "Brother Tiezhu, do you still remember Sun Mou?" Sun Zhi asked with a smile.

  "How could I forget you?" Zhao Tiezhu walked forward.

  "I didn't expect Iron Pillar brother to be from the National Security Bureau, indeed a young and talented one. Come with me." Sun Zhi praised him and led Zhao Tiezhu and another person to wander around until they reached an elevator. He pressed his fingerprint on a fingerprint recognizer and said, "Downstairs is the underground boxing arena. You two go down first, I still have to wait for those contestants here, so I won't see you off." Sun Zhi excused himself and waited at the entrance after Zhao Tiezhu and the other person entered the elevator. This time was a rare opportunity that Golden Sky had been striving for, if it went well, not only would he get to know many masters, but also gain great benefits from the capital city alone. Sun Zhi couldn't afford to be careless, personally going to greet each contestant.

  "Brother Tiezhu, put this badge on." Lei Zi took out a golden dragon-shaped badge and handed it to Zhao Tiezhu, and he also wore one himself.

  "What is this thing?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

  "This is our ID card, proving that we are security personnel, not contestants." Lei Zi explained.

  "Is it okay for just the two of us to attend such a grand gathering?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

  "How can you not show respect? We represent our country! Whoever doesn't give us face will have to bear the serious consequences."

  In the blink of an eye, the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Suddenly, countless gazes were cast over, their owners exuding a strong aura. However, upon seeing the badge on Zhao Tiezhu's chest, their auras dissipated, and no one paid attention to the two anymore.

  "They're all quite strong." Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile to Lei Zi, the two walked out of the elevator and found a place to sit down.

  At this moment, a very strong aura suddenly shot out from a corner. Zhao Tiezhu focused his attention and saw that it was an old man with a hawk-like nose, who was staring at him with a murderous gaze. The old man's aura was several times stronger than anyone else around.

  When did I offend such a master? Zhao Tiezhu rubbed his nose in dismay, it seemed that tonight's affair wouldn't go so smoothly after all.

  Before long, more and more people from the underground boxing world arrived, but fortunately the venue was large enough that it didn't feel crowded. Just then, several middle-aged men with smiles on their faces walked out of the elevator.

  "Wipe, that's Provincial Committee Vice Secretary Zhao Siyang, Governor Lü Jinhui, I'm going to... Provincial Committee Secretary Zhang Yihuang. Weren't they saying 'no Wang sees no Wang'? How can the Provincial Committee Secretary and Governor appear at the same time? What are these people doing here?" Zhao Tiezhu asked in a low voice, looking at that group of people.

  "It's natural to come and watch the game, I heard that every session of the competition will have a few leaders coming to watch, these people who came this time, are not lightweights." Lei Zi also replied in a low voice.

  A few people walked by Zhao Tiezhu, and Provincial Party Secretary Zhang Yihuang glanced at Zhao Tiezhu, suddenly smiling: "Young man, the order here tonight will depend on you."

  "We'll do what we can." Zhao Tiezhu stood up and said calmly.

  "What a good calculation." Zhang Yihuang smiled and walked towards the chairman's podium on one side. Lei Zi looked at the distant figure and whispered to Zhao Tiezhu: "I'm done, those bodyguards around him are super masters."

  Zhao Tiezhu nodded, indeed, the aura emanating from the bodyguards surrounding these leaders was quite majestic, and compared to that eagle-nosed old man earlier, it was even stronger by several degrees!!

  Perhaps those people are the main force of security at night! Zhao Tiezhu guessed.

  Then, a steady stream of people arrived, including the richest man in the province and some big family heads. Zhao Tiezhu even saw someone from the Li family, but these people had no idea that the killer who killed Li Tianfeng was right here in this underground boxing arena.

  These people have taken their seats in the audience, and there are actually hundreds of them.

  "What are these people doing here?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

  "It's not about recruiting talent. Every time there's a big competition, it's these wealthy and powerful people who recruit talent, usually bodyguards. You know, the people on the Tiger List are even more formidable than ordinary masters, of course, only limited to the Tiger List, I rarely hear that people on the Dragon List have been recruited." Lei Zi replied.

  Before long, everyone had arrived. An old man with a white beard slowly walked into the center of the underground fighting arena and said in a loud voice without using a microphone: "This time, there are 200 participants in the Tiger Ranking, including 100 new challengers. All 100 ranked players have arrived. Next, the new challengers will be divided into groups for the elimination match. Now, please let the first group of challengers come on stage. The competition time is 5 minutes. If one side falls down after the time is up, it counts as a loss. Admitting defeat also counts as a loss, or I will judge."

  "Who is this old man?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

  "I don't know either, it seems to be someone sent by the Central Committee. It's said that his strength is very powerful, not on the Dragon List, but stronger than most of the high-ranking masters on the list. According to my grandfather, if he were to compete in the Dragon List, he could enter the top five!"

  Zhao Tiezhu's face changed slightly. From this person, he couldn't feel any aura, only a quietness. Could it be that this was the legendary return to simplicity and truth?

  The competition began quickly, with 100 new challengers competing for the last three spots. These three people will have the right to challenge those on the Tiger List, and those on the Tiger List can challenge their predecessors or skip levels to challenge others. There are still many such people, after all, only the top few on the Tiger List have the qualifications to challenge the Dragon List. Every person who enters the Tiger List is a talented individual, with five years of progress often being extremely significant.

  Considering I've been updating so steadily, how about collecting it? Fresh flowers and all that are lovely too~~~~~
