Will grinned and also climbed onto the arena.
The whole audience cheered when they saw the two men coming into the ring. To be honest, Tian Dazhu did not look like a martial arts expert in terms of his body shape.
He even appeared weaker than an average person, but because Su Jing had brought him, everyone had high expectations of him.
However, they did not notice that the young men and women below the stage were very nervous. The young woman's lips were even trembling as she spoke, "Mr. Su, are you sure it's no problem?"
"Mr. Su, the others from Extreme Dojo are also here. Why don't we let my dad come down and have them compete instead?" The young man also said and he spoke while he was on the verge of tears.
"Didn't we agree to cooperate with my publicity?" Su Jing said.
"But we didn't expect the publicity to be like this. The opponent is a martial arts expert. How could my dad be his opponent?" The young man and woman were almost in tears as they spoke to Su Jing.
They had thought that the publicity Su Jing was talking about would involve something like walking, running, jumping, and drinking from a cup. Who would have thought that it would be a direct challenge against a martial arts expert? This was too much.
"Is that your father?" Huo Hongyang and the others looked surprised at the young men and women. The middle-aged man was not just looking old, but he was really old.
"Yes." Young men and women nodded.
"What do you mean by promotion?" Ji Xiaoting asked.
"You'll know in a moment," Su Jing smiled as he spoke. Just then, the referee on the stage asked the two to prepare. Tian Tian Dazhu stretched his body and then took off his boxing robe, which was tightly wrapped around him.
Everyone looked closely, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They were all amazed and stunned, and it was as if they had seen a ghost.
…
The crowd had imagined what Tian Dazhu's physique would be like under his boxing robe. Perhaps he was lean and muscular, or maybe he looked slim in clothes but had more flesh when he took them off.
However, the reality was unlikely that anyone had anticipated what they were about to see.
As Tian Dazhu removed his robe, everyone's eyes were drawn to his right leg and both of his arms.
They were all made of metal prosthetics, which were proportioned like his real limbs and crafted with exquisite attention to detail. However, they were still prosthetics, and the shock of seeing them was palpable.
"Damn, Am I seeing things?"
"What's going on? Is he trying to fight with prosthetic limbs?"
"He's asking for death. What was he thinking?"
"I originally thought that he was a skilled fighter, but it turns out he's just a disabled person. What kind of a messed up situation is this."
"It's over. He's finished. There's no way he can win against a real martial artist with prosthetic limbs."
"Still, his gait was so natural that I didn't even notice he had prosthetic limbs. Could they be the ones that Su Jing has been developing?"
"The prosthetics do look impressive, and I'd definitely give them a thumbs up under other circumstances. But how can he hope to win against a skilled fighter with prosthetic limbs?"
"This time, Su Jing may have overestimated himself."
The audience, who had been eagerly anticipating the fight, were left stunned. Huo Hongyang, Huo Feiyun, Cai Wufeng, Ji Xiaoting, Wu Long, and others were particularly dumbfounded and took a while to come to terms with what they had just seen.
"A'Jing, what the hell are you doing?" Huo Hongyang exclaimed, clearly frustrated.
"A'Jing, do you want to promote the prosthetics you developed like this? But even if you want to promote them, you shouldn't have chosen to do it in this way. Are you sacrificing the reputation of traditional Chinese martial arts to promote prosthetics? Moreover, if this Tian Dazhu gets beaten too badly and even damages the prosthetics, wouldn't the promotion backfire on you?" Cai Wufeng said while feeling frustrated with Su Jing.
"Brother Jing, you're playing with fire here," Huo Feiyun spoke this sentence and became quiet. Although he usually enjoys watching the excitement and doesn't mind big events, he takes the preservation of traditional Chinese martial arts very seriously.
They finally understood why the young man and women next to them were so anxious before. Who wouldn't be anxious if something like this happened to them?
With limbs missing and prosthetics installed, competing with a combat master, what's the difference between that and a mantis trying to stop a car? Aren't they both just looking to die?
"I do want to use this opportunity to promote prosthetics that I have developed, but at the same time, I am also promoting traditional Chinese martial arts. The competition hasn't even started yet. Who said that Tian Dazhu will definitely be beaten badly and lose?" Su Jing said.
"Are you saying that he still has a chance to win? Are you kidding me right now?" Ji Xiaoting was stunned when he heard Su Jing's words.
"I admit that being able to walk so freely with prosthetics is already quite impressive. But once the fight starts, there will definitely be flaws, not to mention that the opponent is a martial arts combat expert," Wu Long said.
"A'Jing, is this Tian Dazhu a martial arts expert who has been practicing since childhood?" Huo Hongyang couldn't help but ask, although this guy looks unreliable, but if Tian Dazhu is a martial arts expert, he might still have a chance to win against his opponent.
"Um…" Su Jing was thinking about how to explain it in a way that they could accept his answer when the young men and women next to him answered for Su Jing, "My dad has never learned martial arts since he was a child, he just followed Mr. Su for two or three days."
"…" Huo Hongyang, Huo Feiyun, Ji Xiaoting, Wu Long, and the others were completely dumbfounded. They all had a feeling that Su Jing might have lost his mind, otherwise, why would he make such a decision?
A weak and thin middle-aged man who has only learned martial arts for two or three days, with three limbs being prosthetics, actually challenged a combat master. My God, how absurd is this?
"A'Jing, this won't work. Let's change the person and send someone else in," Huo Hongyang said.
"Please trust me on this and let him give it a try," Su Jing said.
