39: The Unstoppable Fury of Ye Chen Shocks Everyone!

**An Incredible Encounter**

After the intense bouts of competition, I spotted Gazi and Burns deep in conversation.

"Hey, brother, you haven't been in the ring lately, have you? Burns has something important to discuss with you," Gazi mentioned, a hint of excitement in his voice.

Ye Chen barely had time to reply before Burns jumped in. "Hi, Ye Chen! I hope it's not too forward of me, but I really need your help. In just over a month, I'm set to face Magny in my hometown, and I could use some training help if you're free…"

**Preparing for Battle?**

Ye Chen's mind raced in confusion at first. But as Burns continued, it all started to make sense. Magny's impressive wingspan and height dwarfed Burns, making this match a daunting challenge. Originally, the team sought someone to replicate Magny's style during practice, but no suitable candidates surfaced—until Burns thought of Ye Chen.

Though Ye Chen wasn't quite as tall or as long-armed, the gap wasn't the widest. Moreover, Burns admired Ye Chen's standing skills and believed he could help prepare for this formidable opponent.

After considering the proposal, Ye Chen realized he had a rare opportunity on his hands. Not only could he gain insights alongside a top-tier team, but he wouldn't have to shell out a single dime for training. Plus, the added bonus? Chandler was also training at the same gym. Perhaps, simulating Chandler's techniques could give him a further edge. A fully-prepared approach would be crucial against a powerhouse like Magny.

"Alright, I'm in. But just a heads up, I've already set up a match with Chandler at your gym," Ye Chen replied, a grin creeping onto his face.

Burns and Gazi exploded with excitement.

"What did you say? You have a date with Chandler?"

"Whoa, Ye Chen, you're on fire! Your rise is legendary—like a rocket taking off! I'm seriously impressed!"

Their excitement was justified. In just over five months, Ye Chen had shot up from being an unknown in the ghostweight division to breaking into the top five. Such a feat was practically unheard of, with only champions of other events typically achieving that kind of momentum in the UFC.

The stunned crowd congratulated him, and Burns reflected on the challenges of training with an opponent in the same gym. Yet, he nodded, understanding that this unique situation could work in their favor.

"Great! Just let me know when you're coming over, and I'll handle the rest. We can discuss any arrangements when you get here," Burns affirmed, enthusiasm lighting up his face.

**Training Day**

Fast forward four days, and both Ye Chen and Burns stood inside the octagonal cage, protective gear strapped on, ready for action. Ye Chen had actually arrived two days early, diving into Magny's gameplay videos to prepare for this day as per the team's request.

The head coach called out, "Burns, go ahead and fight freely at first. Ye Chen, I need you to mimic Magny as closely as possible. Trying to emulate such a unique style doesn't happen overnight."

Ye Chen's intense focus honed in as he analyzed Magny's techniques. Standing at 1.9 meters tall with a wingspan of over 2 meters, Magny exploited his physical attributes to keep opponents at bay with relentless jabs, navigating the ring with an expert blend of strategy and aggression.

As the training commenced, Ye Chen found his rhythm, throwing jabs that echoed in the training hall while combining powerful backhand swings. Burns, fresh off his victory against Wusman, adjusted his style to fend off attacks, employing defensive techniques he had refined to stave off hits.

Yet, despite his best efforts, Burns struggled. Ye Chen's agility seemed to amplify at every turn. Despite multiple attempts to grapple him down, his skills echoed those of the legendary Salujian—he was just too quick.

**A Performance to Remember**

Outside the ring, a stunned audience watched in disbelief, captivated by Ye Chen's remarkable ability to learn on the fly. It was as if he had transformed into an enhanced version of Magny! His swiftness and accuracy outshined any technique the original fighter could muster.

Ye Chen toyed with Burns, weaving effortlessly through strikes and delivering crisp counter-attacks that had the crowd gasping in awe.

Head Coach Chandler, watching in bemusement, stammered, "Wait a minute! You mean to tell me he's only been studying Magny's fights for a day? And he's already performing at this level?"

Sweat dripped down the back of Burns' neck as he wrestled with the reality unfolding before him. If Ye Chen could adapt so rapidly, fans everywhere had no idea what they were in for.

"Stop! Stop!" Burns finally called, shaking his head in disbelief. The sight of a fifth-ranked fighter being dominated like this was difficult to bear.

It was a training session that would go down in history—a true testament to skill, adaptability, and the incredible potential lurking within Ye Chen. And as the match buzzed through the crowd, one thing was clear: this was just the beginning of an electrifying journey.### 039: The Unstoppable Fury of Ye Chen Shocks Everyone!
