King Of Sports 112 Final Blow

Takeuchi was fighting like an automaton. He was fighting with fury, driving Tang Yan back using just sear volumes of punches. Not many connected but throwing a never-ending storm of short rights and lefts. Tang Yan couldn't close in. 

In the center of the ring he stopped short and gave Tang Yan time to open up. Then he stepped in and measured him. 

But in a flash Tang Yan's left flicked out, a short snappy left jab. 

The left tilted Takeuchi's head up so that his jaw was exposed for a fraction of a second, and then a cras.h.i.+ng right drove home — for visiting.

The cheers grew higher again and were deafening.

Qin Hailong, who was now inside the ring, also excitedly waved his fist. Although he had long been expecting it, but now Tang Yan had really won, he couldn't believe that there was such a unique genius in the world.

The cheers of the audience continued. In the cheers, the referee raised Tang Yan's arm and indicated that he was the winner of the 49kg final.

Tang Yan, won the 8th ever Asian Games (Boxing) gold medal for the Chinese boxing team.

The cheers of the audience continued.

...

Finally returning to his hotel room after celebrations he entered the system s.p.a.ce and received the two honor points owed to him.

He still had one more gold medal, left to claim from this Asian Games.

The 70m Individuals event for archery.

His opponent was Im Dong-hyun, a peerless genius from the Korean team.

After the incident yesterday, Seo Yeon didn't come to bother him again.

This page was finally turned over.

The night before the game, Tang Yan lay in bed, thinking about the future after the end of the Asian Games.

The popularity of boxing in China wasn't very high and it was even more limited for amateur boxing.

The money making machine that was boxing wasn't present for amateur boxing, but professional boxing.

Tang Yan chose to start a boxing career from the national team because this road was the most smooth way for Chinese boxers to go pro, a good example of this was Zou s.h.i.+ming.

He needed to drum up a name for himself and a list of accomplishments. So his pro career would be smooth sailing.

Now, he had won a gold medal in the Asian Games. He would gain a buzz in Asia but internationally he was still a no name boxer.

In two years there would be the London Olympics which would give him a great platform.

He needed a plan, a plan to fight professionally.

Compared with amateur boxing, the biggest difference with professional boxing was the amount of rounds and the lack of protective gear.

From four rounds to as high as 12 rounds.

In the next two years, in addition to regular weight gain, fighting in higher-level amateur compet.i.tions, it was also important to unlock a new historical figure which would boost his boxing skills and open up a new path as well.

He was looking for something to boost his physical strength and endurance. 

Among the characters he could unlock, Dai Zong, was an obvious choice.

Dai Zong was a sacred pract.i.tioner of Taoist magical arts, he could travel on foot over long distances  by securing to his legs a pair of magic talismans. There was no doubt that his endurance was probably unmatched.

Thinking of this, he looked at his honor points, 7 points.

The number of points needed to unlock Dai Zong was 2 points.

But just as he reached to unlock him, his mind suddenly flashed another thought.

Unlocking Dai Zong, he could easily do long-distance running, but once again he would face the same problem. Long distance running wasn't a very lucrative sport.

Thinking this, he moved his eyes from Dai Zong's character.

Zhang Shun!

Zhang Shun, nicknamed "White Stripe in the Waves" because of his powerful swimming and diving skills. He could swim for 7 days and 7 nights. Just due to the water resistance the amount of energy and endurance needed to do that was significant. 

Plus swimming was among the most high-profile sports of the Games, with star swimmers often earning big endors.e.m.e.nt deals.

Also 2011 was a very meaningful year for Chinese swimming.

Because in this year, in the swimming world, a genius named Sun Yang was born. The latter became famous in the 2011 World Champions.h.i.+ps winning gold medals at every freestyle distance from 200 metres to 1500 metres. Completely dominating and he remembered reading later on in the Forbes China Celebrity List for 2017, Sun Yang's annual income was estimated to be in excess of 60 million yuan (9 million USD).

This easily moved his heart.

"Unlock, Zhang Shun."

The moment he unlocked him, three honor points disappeared. Only four honor points remained.

But just after unlocking him, he felt that the cells in his body were undergoing a strange change.

Although still standing in the system s.p.a.ce, he seemed to be able to feel the floating water in the air.

He knew this was just an illusionary feeling but he really felt the urge to have a refres.h.i.+ng swim!Get it haymaker, it's a pun hahaha
