Martial Arts Master

"The defending champion made a strong attack and captured the sea of ​​​​stars without any bloodshed!"

"Ten moves to solve it! Peng Leyun is just warming up!"

"The terrifying Shanbei, the terrifying Peng Leyun, is there any suspense about this year's championship?"

"The true pride of heaven!"

On the night after the opening match, various headlines were already buzzing in the martial arts sections of major portal websites and Weibo forums. Lou Cheng took a few glances, put down his phone, closed his eyes, and began to feel sleepy.

At this moment, he heard the "special reminder" voice and understood that classmate Ke Xiaoke had sent a new message.

"I was just thinking about good night, and I forgot to say anything serious." Yan Zheke said with a blushing face, "My dear, come on~!"

Lou Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, picked up the phone, held it down and spoke:

"My dear, come on together!"

No longer sticky, the two fell asleep separately. At dawn, Lou Cheng got up on time and went to a nearby park to exercise.

At eight o'clock sharp, he returned to the hotel, enjoyed a pretty good complimentary breakfast with Yan Zheke, and then followed the large troops to the scheduled martial arts gym for relaxing training.

After lunch, he took a nap, regained his energy, and went to the girls' room to review the competition videos of the Hudong University Martial Arts Club in the past six months.

At 5:20, after a simple dinner, the two of them, Lin Que and others boarded the bus one after another and arrived at the Imperial City Martial Arts Stadium before the peak of the traffic jam.

When he was about to get off the bus, Lou Cheng clicked on the APP and posted on Weibo:

"The first national competition is about to begin!"

After the message was sent successfully, he put the phone directly into his pocket without reading the forwarding and comments, and silently shouted to himself:

"Must win!"

…………

The Imperial City Martial Arts Arena has eight changing rooms, all of which are quite luxuriously furnished, with benches, sofas, massage chairs, and TVs.

It was still less than 6:30, so Mr. Shi told everyone that there was no need to be so nervous and that they should do whatever they were supposed to do.

Without looking at their phones to affect their mood, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke chatted quietly until 7:30. When tonight's first game was about to start, they chose to close their eyes and rest their minds - the contest between Huahai and Mingdao could indeed reveal a lot about both sides. Things will help you understand the other party, but there is no need to rush to watch it tonight. There are still four full days to study. Before facing Hudong, it is a good habit to be focused, serious and not distracted!

Yan Zheke came to my aunt on time last night. Although the pain is not so bad today and there is no problem in forcing the appearance, her condition is still affected. She feels that she cannot compare with Li Mao and others. After rational consideration, she chose to give up and benefit the martial arts club. For the most important.

Well, the rest of the games will be lively!

She opened her eyes, and the five white and slender fingers of her right hand were tightly interlocked with Lou Cheng's. The situation of the three leaders of the Hudong University Martial Arts Club reappeared in her mind:

Yu Zhi, a senior student, was born with a unique body shape and was barely talented. He was the direct beneficiary of Peng Leyun and Ren Li's entry into the university martial arts circle!

Originally, he was thought to be hampered by his talent, making it difficult for him to become a great elixir. However, after being abused by Peng Leyun and Ren Li once, he seemed to be strongly stimulated, thus opening up the "Ren and Du Second Meridians" and finally took the step forward. That crucial step was successfully achieved after the national competition last year.

As soon as he was promoted, he turned the drag of his talent into an advantage, reaching a level close to the top eighth level. After that, he went through a stage of rapid progress and made another step forward. Now eleven months have passed. , the strength must be even more terrifying!

The bookmaker set odds for this, believing that Yu Zhi would most likely have a strong seventh-level or even a top-level seventh-level combat capability.

This is the reason why Hudong University can appear first in the division, but it is not the reason why they are considered outstanding in the second tier. The latter is based on the breakthrough of another player, "Soul Word" Han Peipei!

Han Peipei, a female, is a junior student. She has the power of "sound waves" and can skillfully produce ultrasonic and infrasonic waves. When she was in the ninth level of her profession, she was not very strong in this area. However, before this divisional competition, she had also been able to produce ultrasonic and infrasonic waves in the past two years. After years of suffering and training, she has taken the step of becoming a great elixir. In the past few months, although she has not improved as fast as Yu Zhi, her abilities have become even more terrifying. Her overall combat power is considered to be close to or even seven levels. Taste.

The strength of the two leaders made Hudong University Martial Arts Club rank seventh in the championship odds list after Shanbei, Imperial Capital, Huahai, Guangnan, Songda, and Mingdao. This is why Group D is called the super death group. reason.

In such a group, even if you make it out and break into the top eight, you will probably be "covered black and blue"!

The third leader of the Hudong University Martial Arts Club is Wu Yong, a sophomore who is a top ninth grader and is considered to have great hope of entering the alchemy realm.

In addition, Hudong's substitutes are not bad either, with two professional ninth-level players and four professional first-level players.

…………

In another dressing room, Yu Zhi, who was as fat as a sumo wrestler, did not turn on the TV. He only turned his head to listen to the movement outside, smiled and said:

"Those three brothers from Mingdao will definitely apply for a special competition system, advancing and retreating together. Their competition will be faster than normal, maybe five minutes, maybe ten minutes. It will be our turn soon."

Having said this, Yu Zhi glanced at Han Peipei, who had darker skin and bright eyes, then looked around Wu Yong and others, and gradually said with a solemn expression:

"Lou Cheng is very strong, very strong, and Lin Que is no weaker than me and Peipei. We can't deny these two points, and we can't pretend not to see them."

"Yes, Songda is indeed better than us. They are the strongest team in this competition, second only to Shanbei and Imperial Capital, and tied with Guangnan Huahai!"

"But this doesn't mean that we will definitely lose. There is a gap between us, but the gap is not so big that it can't be made up no matter what!"

Seeing that the team members were gradually becoming more solemn, Yu Zhi raised his voice with a slightly sharp voice and said:

"And we have a big advantage, our target is just the top eight."

"When we set off, I shouted to everyone that the goal was to be in the top eight, but it was only the top eight!"

"In other words, we don't care how hard we fight in the group stage. Even if we are seriously injured, the generals are not the same, and we lose in the quarterfinals, we don't care!"

"Song Da is not enough. They want to be in the top four, they want to compete for the championship. They want to preserve themselves to the greatest extent. If they really have to fight for the knockout rounds later, they will probably be timid!"

“Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. This is our advantage!”

These words made Wu Yong and others excited. They seemed to see the hope of overturning the favorites, the hope of defeating the weak with courage and perseverance!

Yu Zhi shook the fat on his cheeks, looked at Han Peipei and said:

"Pepe, you are the first one to appear. No matter who you encounter, use your superpower to cause maximum damage and create opportunities for those who follow!"

Hudong University originally had a coach named Shen Jinfu, but he had a conflict with Yu Zhi and was unable to control the situation, so he was reluctantly fired by the school.

"Okay!" Han Peipei was an introverted girl and didn't say much.

Looking around, Yu Zhi pointed at himself:

"I will be the second one to fight, and I will fight my opponent no matter the cost!"

"Wu Yong, you are the last to win. You don't have to think about who you will meet. In short, go all out!"

After arranging the order of appearance, he took a breath and said:

"I didn't say how or how to defeat Lin Que or Lou Cheng. I just want everyone not to think about what will happen, but to focus on the present, fight one game after another, and use all their strength. Go fight!”

Wu Yong, Han Peipei and others nodded and agreed in unison:

"spell!"

…………

In the locker room of Songda Martial Arts Club.

Old Man Shi clapped his hands, breaking the quiet atmosphere and attracting everyone's attention.

"Okay, Girl Yan, let's talk about the most likely order in Hudong." He looked at Yan Zheke with a smile.

Familiar rhythm and familiar process made Li Mao and others feel relaxed inexplicably. It seemed that this was not a national competition, but just an ordinary competition.

Yan Zheke had long been used to it. He looked up and considered:

"To put it bluntly, if Hudong wants to beat us, it can only rely on the word 'pin'."

Haha... These words immediately made Lou Cheng and others laugh, and the tension in the locker room relaxed a lot.

Yan Zheke pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Since Hudong wants to 'fight', he will probably fight the most lethal Han Peipei first. If he can kill Lin Que and injure Chengzi, it will be victory."

"Yu Zhi appears in the middle and fights again. Wu Yong or other professional nine will finally finish."

"If they don't say anything else, they will definitely show off their momentum."

Old Man Shi nodded with satisfaction: "Then how should we deal with it?"

"If you don't mess up, just do whatever you want." Yan Zheke replied with a smile, "Anyway, it's all at your discretion, Coach Shi."

"Ahem, let's do it this way. In the first game, it's important to be cautious to avoid any accidents that may affect your mood later on." Old Man Shi coughed twice.

"Well, caution is the most important thing!" Li Mao, Sun Jian and others fully agreed.

"This caution also includes considering the follow-up. You can't hurt so and so in the first game. In that case, it will be difficult to defeat Mingdao and Huahai, right?" Old Man Shi chuckled, "Facing Han Peipei, the one who is least likely to be injured who is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Lou Cheng. Even Lin Que, who originally had a clear fighting spirit, softened his attitude and started thinking about the next two games.

Feeling everyone's attention, Lou Cheng smiled slightly, stepped forward and said:

"Master, I want to take the lead!"

Let me take the first shot at the national competition for the martial arts club!

"Let's fight. If you lose, I won't slap you with the sole of my shoe, old man!" Old Man Shi laughed and scolded, then turned to look at Lin Que, "Boy Lin, you are second, don't you need any more instructions from me?"

"No!" Lin Que replied solemnly.

"Li Mao, you come on last to finish the game, don't be nervous, the two guys in front are like wolves and tigers, you may not be able to come on the stage." Old Man Shi said with a smile.

The tension in Li Mao's heart was completely eliminated, and he smiled and said:

"I still hope they leave some leftovers for me!"

After these few months of hard training, he has mastered the methods of meditation and inner training, and he has reached the level of a true vocational nine, and his self-confidence has become much stronger!

"The substitutes are the same as before, Cai Zongming, Sun Jian, and Lin Hua." Old Man Shi waved his hand.

After waiting for a moment, news came from outside that Huahai paid the price of injuries to the main player Zhang Dongliang and substitute Deng Yuntao, and almost broke the formation of the three brothers of the Mingdao He family. He Erlong showed his alchemy in this game. realm!

The Three-Elixir Realm Formation is taking shape!

Lou Cheng and others didn't pay much attention to this matter, or they didn't have the heart to think about it, because it was their turn next!

Outside the locker room, the lights were bright and shining downwards. Lou Cheng opened the door and stepped out first!

There was a murmur of cheers and boos all around.
