Chapter 313: Surprising Popularity





For whatever reason, they didn’t even pay attention to anything else aside from Meng Fan’s monster-like performance.


“Who is he?!”


When Lin Juntao and the others had come in, they indeed saw Meng Fan throwing two guys within a short period of time. At first, Lin Juntao didn’t pay much attention to Meng Fan; but really, how could he be so strong?


“He is from Huaxia, no doubt, but seems like he doesn’t belong to any of the four Chinese teams.”


“It’s impossible for a contestant of this caliber to stay unrecognizable!”


“Tell me, how strong is he?”


“Very strong! Regardless that the level of participants is lower than his, he still can defeat more than forty people in such a short time, which is enough to prove his strength.”


“Strength is strength, but there is a difference between melees and arena fights. But if he can decently perform in the ring, he would easily become famous!”


“…Ok, let’s not talk about this man for now. Tell me how to deal with today’s mess!”


Lin Juntao stopped chit-chatting and turned to them to discuss the formalities.


Martial arts laws prohibited such self-righteous battles.


Whether in ancient or modern times, the matter of private fights of martial artists have always been treated with great seriousness. Even if it happened in the martial arts hall this time and could be dubbed as training, the situation was still grave. None of these supervisors dared to deal with it in a perfunctory manner.


Those who started the fight must be severely punished.


Those who took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble also need to be punished.


Those who participated in the fighting certainly cannot escape punishment.


Even those who were only watching and cheering should be disciplined.


Basically, few people were able to escape.


Moreover, it must be done fast. This kind of thing was impossible to hide. In no way would the organizers would want a third party to be dragged into this; that would be really troublesome.


They discussed and discussed, until finally they focused on Meng Fun.


What about this guy?


As someone who didn’t belong to the martial artists society, he couldn’t be punished by them.


And it would be even worse to leave it to the third party; the police, for example. Things would immediately go down badly.


Lin Juntao got a headache, rubbed his temples, and said: “The person in charge of the Japanese Martial Arts Museum should be here soon. You all go on, develop the specific punishment plan. I will go to the Japanese team to find Wu Ji.”



And indeed, just as expected by Lin Juntao and the others, the chaos in the Tokyo Dome could not be concealed. Soon, there was a video of this riot online — and not only one. There were pictures captured by surveillance, and some taken by onlookers’ mobile phones, all of quite good quality.


However it leaked, it didn’t matter.


The conflicts in the ring were nothing new in the fighting world, not to mention this kind of conflicts happening during training sessions. Even though there were many ring fights between teams during the competition, the non-professional conflicts between athletes also occur. One can easily find a lot of exciting images and videos posted online.


Recently, there was one concerning a coach sitting in the audience in a suit, who got provoked, ascended to the arena, and KO-ed the opponent and his instructor — each of them with just one kick. It was really thrilling.


And a lot of these incidents were hyped, even dubbed as “what a story needs”. At this point, it was undoubtedly the WWE who promoted the rotten and dodgy from-the-streets kind of fun. However, American wrestling did originate as a form of entertainment with its “scripted” fights and shows. And WWE actually means World Wrestling Entertainment.


——WWE, because of its performing nature, has really produced a lot of actors and actresses. The most famous one was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has topped the global actor income rankings. In addition, WWE has also often invited celebrities to participate in shows, such as Schwarzenegger, Tyson, O’Neill, and many more, as well as many former presidents who have also spoken on the spot. What’s even funnier, the current president had participated in the classic performance once when he had shaved the head of the WWE president. And he was also elected to the WWE Hall of Fame!


WWE’s shows were brilliant but not real, and thus not as exciting as the online videos exposed today — in which one can see authentic provocation and beating.


About a hundred MMA fighters were fighting each other. This was a very attractive headline. And the content was even more exciting. Whether be it a surveillance video or a mobile phone video, the main character was always Meng Fan.


At the very beginning, he was a victim of a sneak attack, then he ran desperately to protect a “team member,” and he went into a rampage, madly beating everyone and everywhere.


One catch, one hit, one throw, one kill. Wherever he went, there was no foe who could have stood a chance. The scene was really mesmerizing!


If all the falls and hits weren’t so authentic, it could really be mistaken for a movie scene.


These videos first appeared on YouTube, and later were forwarded to Twitter by some people, and then spread more and more widely.


Slowly, articles about the MMA athletes’ scuffle appeared also on some news websites.


Moreover, it quickly spread back to China. The reason for that was very simple, as the protagonists of these videos are Huaxia people. With the advent of the news, the causes and effects of the matter had also come to light. Meng Fan stood up to protect his extremely exhausted, brilliant “teammate.”


In addition, the stories about punching Japanese and kicking Koreans have always been very well-received in China. As soon as it appeared in the country, it was immediately reposted and Meng Fan got recognized.


“Meng Fatty? Is it really my homie Meng Fatty?”


“Absolutely! Didn’t he beat a South Korean in a martial arts hall last time? It seems that Iron God is going to go the fighter’s way!”


“Is Boss Meng not a cartoonist? Yesterday, it was reported that he had won a million Huaxia coins for his comics. How did he get to Japan?”


“The Iron Giant is so hardcore!”


“Hahaha, Iron God did it again!”


“Shoot, can’t you calm down for a while? There is a hot topic practically every day. How can you — a non-entertainer — make this idol-like site traffic?!”


“Those who say Iron God has an advantage in body shape and that’s why he beat that Korean guy, better watch closely! Your old Iron God did beat Koreans again, and this time several at once, hahaha!”


“At least forty fell, and they are all MMA athletes! How strong must he be!”


“All taken down. Iron God is undoubtedly the strongest man on Earth!”


“Meng Fat said he had no choice: ‘I also wanted to keep a low-profile, but my strength didn’t allow that!’”


“…”


Chinese netizens have always been very good at digging and connecting dots, but it was interesting that no one has linked Meng Fan to the Singapore hijacking incident. It’s hard to know whether it was caused by seemingly different circumstances of these two situations, or maybe some people see that there were clues only when everything was clear.


More interestingly, the identity of the “teammate” who was fiercely protected by Meng Fan was quickly discovered on the next day when Meng Fan was flying back to Huaxia. After all, as the top Chinese MMA athlete, he was very well-known. It was Wu Ji, the brother of Wu Tong, the “painting fairy” that became popular not long ago. Then a hashtag was created.
