Chapter 706 Fabian goes all out

When they heard that someone was coming to challenge them, the whole club became excited.

Things are not like back home in the West.

In the past, Chinese people loved to practice martial arts, and there were countless martial arts masters. The traditional martial arts at that time were completely different from the traditional martial arts today.

Why did people practice martial arts back then? Honestly, it was to win. As the saying goes, "There's no first in literature, no second in martial arts." They practiced martial arts to defeat others, and to do so, they would resort to any means necessary. Dirty moves like "spitting," "monkey stealing peaches," hair pulling, and "eye poking" were all part of traditional martial arts techniques!

But what about now? Traditional martial arts have changed since their transformation from a "competition" to a "performance." They're no longer the "strength-honored" fighting technique of the past, but more of a commendation event. Furthermore, with China's excellent public security, the idea of "knights breaking the law with force" is highly taboo.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with doing this.

Looking at the most vicious criminals in China since ancient times, almost all of them have no property and no worries. One person's food can feed the whole family. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. They rely on their extraordinary skills and courage to confront state organs and legal departments head-on.

Only in times of chaos do people need to practice martial arts for self-defense. In times of peace, when people's safety is guaranteed, the role of martial arts should change from "killing the enemy" to "strengthening the body."

This has also led to the decline of traditional martial arts and an increasing number of people who are defrauding people under the banner of traditional martial arts.

Moreover, these scammers have a shameless nature that is passed down from generation to generation - who would be a scammer if they had shame?

So now Chinese martial arts are definitely full of talented people, such as those who challenged others to a fight and then called the police; those who insulted an elderly woman's daughter, challenged others to a fight, were defeated, and then sued for compensation...

Are there still traditional martial arts masters today? Yes! They're all handed down from village to village, carrying on ancient traditions. Those who make a big fuss about it are most likely scammers!

There are also many martial arts schools in the West, even more than in China.

Westerners love fitness, and gyms are everywhere. Almost all of these gyms offer training programs related to combat. Fighting competitions are plentiful here, and many see it as a way to improve their lives—a fact that's universally true: the poorer the area, the more likely it is to produce martial arts experts. The world's greatest boxers almost all hail from the slums or come from families steeped in martial arts traditions. Take, for example, China's world champion Xiong Chaozhong, who used to work as a coal miner; Zhang Weili, who started out as a waiter in a hotel...

The fighting here is simple and straightforward. Martial arts and fitness? No way! I just want to be better than you! If you don't dare to accept the challenge, you'll be infamous!

There is also an unwritten rule here, that is, professional boxers will not cause trouble for professional boxers, even if they are retired.

After all, most retired boxers will still work in this industry, such as being a coach or opening a boxing gym. If you kick someone else's gym, what if other retired boxers kick your gym?

As the only professional MMA fighter to leave Dover, Pete Irving's gym was a place where professionals wouldn't come, and amateurs weren't his match. Naturally, he was "lonely as snow." When the news of a challenge came, the entire club erupted in excitement, as if it were New Year's Eve!

"Chinese?" Peter Irving frowned upon seeing Xiao Peng. "A nation so cunning and deceitful is here to challenge us?"

The people nearby started to boo.

A muscular woman in fitness clothes looked at Xiao Peng and said, "You don't look like a boxer. Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Xiao Peng shook his head expressionlessly and answered truthfully, "I've never practiced. I've only been to the gym less than ten times in my life, and that was just to pick up girls. I've never participated in any fighting competitions, and I've never challenged a gym."

"Husband, someone like this comes to challenge me? Don't you think you are too serious?"

It turns out that she is Pete Irving's wife.

After hearing this, the people at the scene laughed even harder.

Ellie Stone had been hiding behind the crowd. Seeing this, she came out, pulled Xiao Peng and whispered, "Xiao, thank you for your kindness! Let's go."

Xiao Peng waved his hand. "This is my business, not yours. Why are you being so coy? Where were you when you hit me with the wrench?"

Kalinda Fanning wanted to give Ellie Stone some encouragement, telling her she was the victim and had every right to challenge Peter Irwin. However, with so many strong men in the room and the situation looking a bit out of control, she didn't dare to stir up trouble.

"Ellie?" Peter Owen finally saw Ellie Stone. "Why are you here?"

The burly man at the door just now said: "Pete, he said he is your girlfriend!"

The atmosphere in the venue stagnated for a moment, and then everyone burst into laughter.

Even Pete Irving's wife was laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"What are you laughing at?" Ellie Stone couldn't help but ask, angry at the laughter.

Pete Irving's wife laughed and said, "I let my husband go out and 'relax' twice a month, and you're just the one he uses to relax. Do you really think you're his girlfriend? Is it because my husband's job is so good that you can't forget him and just come to my house? Doug, which one do you think got a higher score, this one or the one who came last time?"

Doug, the burly man who had stopped Xiao Peng at the door, said directly, "It must be the last one! Pete, how did your taste become so strong?"

But Pete said from the side: "Doug, you can find the highlights in a pile of shit. Don't you think those two big balls on this girl's chest are awesome?"

"You..." Ellie Stone wanted to rush forward, but was firmly held back by Kalinda Fanning - she would definitely suffer if she acted like a spoiled child here!

Fabian saw this and complained: "This is the British, so vulgar!"

This really shocked Billy. You could say this in French, but why did you have to use English? Are you afraid that others won't understand?

Fabian continued to talk to himself, "The British love to create a persona for themselves. Either they promote themselves as graduates of prestigious universities, or they have connections to the royal family. If they don't have anything like that, what does it matter? They say they are British gentlemen and British ladies, but they are nothing! They are so vulgar and want others to like them by saying it is 'British humor'. When you meet such people, there are only two words to describe them: scoundrels! Look at them, what word should be used to describe them? Just use their own words! 'THEY ARE DOGS'! What do you think? Do you like my 'British humor'?"

There was a silence at the scene. Everyone looked at Fabian in shock. Even Billy looked at Fabian in shock. "How dare you say that with so many British people here? Are you crazy?"
