Xiahou Wu came to his senses and said, "Brother Dong, what you're doing will probably cost you a lot of money."
Shen Dong shook his head and said, "As long as we do a good job with the advertising, we might not only not spend any money, but also make a lot of money through television broadcasts. To put it another way, even if we don't make any money, it doesn't matter. It's just a hundred or two hundred million US dollars, I can afford it."
Feng Yuxiu took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation, and said, "I believe this will be a golden age for us martial artists."
Hong Dali asked, "Brother Dong, will you participate?"
Shen Dong said, "No. But I can give the champion a chance to challenge me at the end. As for whether to make it public, that's up to him."
Seeing everyone's excited faces flushed, Shen Dong smiled and said, "Alright, that's enough for you all to know. Xiahou, go and send a challenge to the Japanese Karate Association. I don't want them to come up with all sorts of shitty excuses after losing the fight."
Xiahou Wu nodded and said, "I'll take care of it right away."
That evening, the challenge from Tengfei Martial Arts Academy to the Japan Karate Association was published on the front page of major newspapers in Hong Kong.
Even the news that members of the Chung Yi Shun gang threatened the police with a time bomb and then fled Hong Kong Island was suppressed.
"You challenge me, I'll challenge you. Tengfei Martial Arts Academy is truly amazing."
"A three-on-three match, with a death contract, and the winner determined by the complete defeat of one side. Just thinking about such a competition rule is awesome."
"Tengfei Martial Arts Academy dares to challenge the Japan Karate Association. No matter the outcome, I will give them a thumbs up."
"I wonder if the Japan Karate Association dares to accept the challenge?"
"They have to fight. Otherwise, the Karate Association will lose face big time."
"Karate is the number one martial arts style that is popular in Asia. If I lose, then there will be a good show."
"Tengfei Martial Arts Academy wants to climb to the top by stepping on the Karate Association. I hope they have the ability to do so."
"If Tengfei Martial Arts Academy wins, I will send my son there to learn martial arts."
......
The people of Hong Kong Island are discussing this matter extensively.
The Japan Karate Association didn't keep everyone waiting too long.
The next morning, the association representative told reporters that they would send their strongest lineup to meet the challenge from Tengfei Martial Arts Academy.
In this way, what was originally a duel between two people has transformed into a duel between six people.
Asia Television, TVB, and other international television stations contacted Shen Dong, wanting to broadcast the martial arts competition.
Shen Dong orchestrated this to promote Chinese Kung Fu, the bigger the impact, the better. So, no matter which TV station approached him, he agreed without hesitation.
As for the broadcasting fee, it was just a symbolic amount, and Shen Dong didn't care at all.
The afternoon before the competition, the president of the Hong Kong Island Karate Association, Fujitani Daichi, sat together with Ogawa Ryusei, Furuya Taiga, and Mitsuda Kentaro for tea.
Fujitani Daichi is 62 years old this year. He has a calm demeanor and sharp eyes. He was once a top master in Japan and defeated a European boxing champion. He is renowned in the Japan Karate Association.
If he weren't so old, he would probably be the one to participate in this competition.
“You should have seen their information by now, right?” Teng Gu Daizhi asked.
Kentaro Mitsuda said arrogantly, "I've seen it. If I had gone first, I probably wouldn't have needed Ogawa-kun and Furuya-kun to go on stage."
As the champion of the Japan Karate Championship for two consecutive years, Kentaro Mitsuda absolutely has the right to be arrogant.
With a refined and scholarly demeanor, Ogawa Ryusei remained calm and said, "I heard that this competition has attracted the attention of media from various Asian countries, with more than thirty television stations alone. Since Tengfei Martial Arts Academy dares to do this, they must be very confident in defeating us. Mr. Fujigaya, you have too little information; it is difficult for me to judge their strength from it."
Being cautious and meticulous, and never underestimating any opponent, has always been Ogawa Ryusei's principle.
Ten years ago, based on his outstanding competition results, Ryusei Ogawa became a director of the Karate Association.
To enhance his skills, he once fought in underground boxing matches in Europe and America, and twelve Western masters died at his hands.
The fact that the Japan Karate Association dared to let Ryusei Ogawa challenge Feng Yuxiu shows their confidence in him.
Koya Taiga glanced at Ogawa Ruki and said, "Ogawa-kun, it's been so many years, but your personality hasn't changed at all."
The two are old friends and old rivals.
Unlike the somewhat refined Ogawa Ryusei, Koya Daisuke was tall and imposing. Sitting there, he resembled a mountain, radiating a fiery aura that gave him a rugged and fierce appearance.
Kentaro Mitsuda was somewhat dissatisfied with Ryusei Ogawa, saying, "Ogawa-kun, you're boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own. I had someone investigate, and the boxing instructors at the Tengfei Martial Arts Academy were all former members of the Hung Hing gang. They have plenty of experience in street fighting, but they've never encountered a real master and are nothing to be afraid of."
Kouya Taiga shook his head and said, "Underestimating your opponent is a big no-no."
Kentaro Mitsuda raised an eyebrow and said, "Seniors, I am willing to take the lead."
Ryusei Ogawa and Taiga Furuya exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously, saying, "Okay."
Kentaro Mitsuda is quite skilled in martial arts, so we can use him to test the strength of the Tengfei Martial Arts Academy.
Fujitani Daichi said, "During the competition, many heads of well-known companies from Japan that have developed in Hong Kong will be present to watch the match and make a high-stakes bet with Shen Dong, the president of the Ascendas Group. So you can only win, you can't lose."
The three answered in unison, "Yes."
By 2:30 p.m. the next day, the Kowloon Bay Convention and Exhibition Centre was already packed with people.
Reporters from major television stations arrived at the scene two hours early to set up in order to secure advantageous positions.
Hong Kong Island residents who came to watch the game had already formed long queues.
Whether they knew each other or not, everyone was having a heated discussion about the competition.
"Brother, do you think Tengfei Martial Arts Academy can win?"
"It's hard to say. I've seen Ogawa Ryusei's fighting videos; he's incredibly skilled."
"That guy, Koya Taiga, could punch through six red bricks with one punch, and his punching force reached 700 kilograms. Many European and American boxing champions cannot reach this level."
"To be honest, I hope the three masters from Tengfei Martial Arts Academy can win, but the chances are slim."
......
Since there are no videos of Xiahou Wu, Feng Yuxiu, and Hong Dali in official matches, it is difficult for outsiders to know how good they are, so everyone is not optimistic about the three of them.
Someone secretly set up a betting pool, and the number of people who won by betting on Tengfei Martial Arts Academy was less than a quarter of that of the Japan Karate Association.
On the other side, a group of important figures from Hong Kong Island and Japan entered the Kowloon Bay Convention and Exhibition Centre ahead of time through the VIP channel.
When Shen Dong arrived at the scene with the four women, everyone was chatting in small groups.
