< Outcast is too good at martial arts (68) >
[Hidden reward opens!]
A hologram window I had never seen before appeared in front of my eyes.
[You will be given the ‘Legend Choice’.]
[You can open the ‘Legendary Gym’ with the legend you want as the manager!]
[Cost: 50000pt]
50,000 points?
Indeed, it was a huge cost, but looking at the photos organized in the hologram that popped up, 50,000 was not an expensive cost at all.
Inside the ‘Legends Choice’ panel, there were tons of pictures of fighting legends.
Mike Tyson George Foreman Roy Jones Jr. Alexander Karelin Shim Kwon Ho Hickson Gracie Nam Saknoi Samat Payakarun…
even dead legends like Muhammad Ali!
If you clear the hidden mission ‘Legendary Admiration’, you can train with existing legend players in a virtual space.
However, the ‘Legend Option’ is an item that is one step above that.
Even dead legends can be brought back to their former lives and given lessons.
As expected of the ‘hidden reward’, the scale was also different from the compensation so far.
“For now, I don’t have 50,000 points, so I’ll save it.”
If you collect points, the ‘Legend Option’ is an item that will always be of great power.
If you take jiu-jitsu lessons from Artur and boxing lessons from Mike Tyson in a virtual space… I
couldn’t even imagine how great your skills would be.
“It’s worth trying 292 times.”
It took a full month for Mugyeol to complete the challenge mission.
In the meantime, the scheduled date for the tournament was approaching in three months.
RCF has finally come to announce the official light heavyweight title bout.
[RCF 117 Ji Kang-joo vs. Car Unmatched… Zombie vs. Bomber Confrontation]
[Is it possible to conquer the 2-weight class with Cha No-gyeol challenging the title right after the moonjang?]
[Ji Kang-joo “Light heavyweight is not an easy weight class.”]
[Jang Young-gil Chairman “It is common in this industry for a weight class champion to have a title fight after a monthly championship, so I hope you will pay attention to it.”]
Jang Young-gil even conducted a special interview to quell the slander of a ‘baseless matchup’, but surprisingly the public’s reaction was quite positive. was
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋYoung-gil is so scared hahahahaha]
[Don’t worry,
Young-
gil-ah. It’s enough if you give it to me]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s cute that Young-gil was surprised hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[Is there anyone who can win the match
even if he goes up to Rahe now?] It’s better to go direct]
[Looking at how strong he is, he’ll probably be able to beat all the top contenders even if he climbs up] [The
most important thing is whether he’s increased weight]
[No matter how strong he is, the guys from Rahe are too heavy]
[The basic frame is different. ; Even if you have good skills, it’s difficult if you’re pushed in the weight class]
[It’s not for nothing that people say that size is a gangster]
Become champion in three matches After the first defense match, challenge for two weight class champions in five matches.
The public was expecting Mugyeol to finish this unprecedented challenge with success.
However, on the other hand, negative prospects also rained down.
It won’t be as easy this time.
There have always been negative predictions in undefeated matches, but this time the outcome was different.
Not only the public but also those in the industry who know his skills well tilted their heads.
Cho Jun-seok, ranked fourth in the middleweight division, picked Ji Kang-joo as the winner of the light heavyweight title fight in an interview with a media outlet.
“I think Kang-joo hyung will win. Cha Moo-gyeol is good at it, but no matter how good a player is, it is really difficult for him to go ahead and win right away.”
“okay. But didn’t Conor McGregor become the champion by catching Eddie Alvarez as soon as he moved from featherweight to lightweight?”
“Haha, are you comparing Cha Mu-gyeol and Conor McGregor?”
“Well, it’s because the situation is similar.”
“The difference between featherweight and lightweight is less than 5 kg. However, if you go from middle to light heavy, you will gain 10 kg at once. Besides, Conor McGregor was only a featherweight in his weight class, but in fact, his frame was a player who could handle light weight and welterweight.”
“…that’s right.”
“I think that the results of the tea ceremony are very different.”
Most other reporters and players were also in the same position as Jo Jun-seok.
The reason why they predicted the superiority of Jigangju was not just Woljang.
This title fight was a match that didn’t go very well with Mugyeol.
Ji Kang-joo has been absolutely strong against strikers.
He seems clunky, chewing up all the damage he can get, but his excellent hitting skills and ability to catch submissions have made him a ‘strike killer’.
Even Ariel Watson, North America’s best ‘tea flawless fan’, expressed his disapproval of this match.
He previewed the RCF light heavyweight title match on his podcast stream.
“Hey Guys everyone must be waiting for the light heavyweight title from RCF. Our Korean idol Cha Mu-gyeol is working hard right now to win his second title. But this match honestly looks a bit tough.”
He compared this fight to ‘MacGregor vs Nate Diaz’ rather than ‘MacGregor vs Alvarez’.
“This is not a simple moon game. 10 kg, I have to increase the weight by 10 kg. Consider the fight between McGregor and Nate, who moved straight from featherweight to welterweight. How was McGregor, who was a complete one-punch man at featherweight, against Nate in Welter? I couldn’t even do damage to Nate who didn’t even have a full camp. Rather, Nate showed a zombie-like appearance as he chewed through all of his fists and went in.”
Saying that, Ariel Watson predicted Ji Kang-joo’s victory with a rather gloomy expression.
“It’s a pity, but this match will be Ji Kang-joo’s victory. A true champion always needs a story of overcoming adversity. Even if we lose this match, we will probably give you a rematch right away if you show a competitive side. I already know the RCF. You American geeks who listen to this radio buy a lot of RCF PPVs!”
In North America, the undisputed light heavyweight challenge was a small topic among martial arts fans.
Brother Chandler, a friend of Integrity, also heard the news.
“Will Moo Gyeol be okay?”
“well. The most recent time I went to Korea, I felt like I had improved quite a bit, but I wonder if it’s to the point where I’m going to go to the moon…
”
“I saw it too. The level of basic skills is high and the tenacity is amazing.”
“If No Gyeol loses, coming to the WFC will be delayed, right?”
“Perhaps.”
After many worries, the brothers decided to go back to Korea.
There will be no matches for the time being, and more than anything, I wanted to help my friend Mugyeol in any way possible.
In this way, the two brothers boarded a plane to Korea three times within a year.
However, Moo Gyul, whom I met upon arrival, was quite calm.
“Aren’t you busy? He always comes.”
“Hehe, long time no see.”
“What’s been a long time?”
Saying hello, Kyle glanced at the flawless body.
I definitely felt that my size was bigger than before, probably because I increased my muscle mass through weightlifting powerlifting.
However, no noticeable size increase was observed.
‘I don’t use steroids at all.’
On the one hand, I was fortunate, but on the other hand, I was anxious.
In addition to the light heavyweight championship, it is a title fight, isn’t it too carefree?
Kyle and Ben made up their minds.
‘I’m going to have to shake it off in this sparring. That way, they’ll be alert for the title match!’
The two brothers, who already have a deep bond with integrity, climbed to the top of the Octagon with determination.
“Perfect, this time it goes really hard.”
“Good good. Let’s stick together.”
“Goes-!”
Sometimes-.
But after a week of sparring, Kyle and Ben realized they were very wrong.
Despite grinding their teeth and going 120% for a week, they could barely win a round from Mugyeol.
“Hee-B-H-H-.”
“are you okay? Shall we take a break?”
“…No, let’s go right away.”
The brothers who came to help Mugyeol were now challenging him.
It was unbelievable.
‘How did this monster come to be and eat it!?’
When we first met, he was flawless, unable to use his strength against Kyle and Ben.
However, after that, he gradually improved and improved his win rate.
During powerlifting training, he threatened Kyle with his increased size and strength, as well as undead speed.
Now, it has become such a monster that it is difficult to steal even a single download.
‘Because of what kind of training they did!’
Is this rate of development fast enough?
I’ve come across all sorts of sports geniuses in America, but pristine talent is something completely alien.
The speed of development as if you were the only one living in a different time axis.
Every time they came to Korea, the Chandler brothers couldn’t help but be astonished at the changed appearance of Innocent.
“how is it? Do you think this match will go well?”
“To be honest, I was worried. It’s nothing else, it’s the first match of the moon field.”
“okay. If I was really worried, would I have packed it like this again?”
“But I knew it was a completely useless worry.”
Saying that, Kyle placed his chin on Innocent’s shoulder with an expression full of confidence.
“Maybe we will meet in America sooner than I expected.”
“It means I fully believe in you.”
“of course. I will 100% bet you.”
“You’re not talking about illegal gambling, are you?”
“You idiot, it’s just an idiom.”
“I know, I know.”
Brother Chandler’s expected stay was a week, but they stayed another week after that.
“Damn it, I have to make at least a 10% win rate! Isn’t that right bro?”
“…I will make 20%.”
“okay! It should be!”
However, even after that, their win rate did not improve significantly.
Above all, it was Mugyeol himself who felt the development strongly.
The 292 challenge missions were an incredibly high-quality practical experience.
While his skill level, which was ‘B’, rose to ‘B+’, thousands of fighting algorithms were piled up in his head and chest.
I noticed Ben’s movements that I couldn’t have predicted before.
It became possible to cope with Kyle’s counter tackle, which was difficult to block.
Upgraded power and flexibility in addition to a library created from 292 first-hand experiences.
Now, he wanted to see how strong he had become.
You’ll probably find out for sure when you fight for the light heavyweight title.
Two months until the title match.
The eight-country tour to promote RCF 117 has begun in earnest.
* * *
“Cha Moo-gyeol will never be able to bring me down. When was the last time I was down? I don’t even remember. You can’t compare ‘real heavyweights’ to middleweights who collapse even with water fists.”
With the provocation of champion Ji Kang-joo, the press conference heated up from the beginning.
“That goppiri will probably regret playing at middleweight. Originally, at that age, the whole world seems to belong to you. He’s tall, has a good body, has a handsome face, and is good at fighting… Oh well, he has all the ingredients to make him popular with school lunchers. But this isn’t a talent show at a retreat, it’s a light heavyweight title fight, right?”
Ji Kang-joo attacked Mugyeol with his flashy mic work, but Mugyeol also counterattacked without losing a single word.
“yes. I came up because I was curious about what a real heavyweight was. To me, this entire group is fake. From a paper doll gatekeeper to a Chechen drug dealer to a cheese champion… I was disappointed at the middleweight division, but I hope it is not the case at the light heavyweight division.”
“!”
“I heard that the ring name is Geumgangbulgoe, whoop-.”
When Mugyeol burst into laughter, Ji Kang-joo’s ears went red.
“What’s wrong with that dude?”
“No, no. cool. But maybe you should think of a new ring name.”
“What is that again?”
“Because I’m going to knock you out in the first round. Where is the Geumgang Buddha that gets KO’d in the first round?”
“What is it?”
“I will give you a notice here. Round 1 KO. I, Cha Mu-gyeol, will put the Ji Kang-ju champion in the first round.”
“!”
“Come on, son of a bitch, I’ll beat you in the first round and knock you down!”
Unlike the time of Han Dae-geun Ibrahim, there was no emotional goal between Ji Kang-joo and Moo-gyeol-ui, but the atmosphere heated up again thanks to the ‘KO Declaration’ that was raised at the press conference.
With what kind of confidence did Cha Moo-gyeol boast about knocking out ‘Geumgang Buddha’ in the first round?
Not to mention a 1st round KO, it is Ji Kang-joo who has not even had a few downs in his entire career!
“Ah, that must be just an aggro.”
“What kind of ‘Mystic Mac’ are you?
“It’s because I don’t know Ji Kang-joo’s mettle yet.”
“Now, there are more predictions that the game itself will be lost.”
The reaction was negative, but even so, people had no choice but to pay more attention.
What the hell did you believe in and what preparations did you have to be so confident?
The PPV sold like hot cakes, and this time too, Jangchung Gymnasium was sorely lacking, so the stage for the title match was moved to the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium.
Finally, May 20, the day of the RCF 117 match.
After all the matches up to the co-main event were over, Moo Gyeol and Ji Kang Joo finally met in the octagon for the light heavyweight title.
