"Second, Lou Cheng."
Hearing this name, Li Mao subconsciously raised his hand and picked his ears. He felt like he was hallucinating.
Lou Cheng?
Main force of the preliminaries?
Why couldn't these two words be connected?
He wasn't disappointed that he couldn't directly become the main force. According to his own estimation, apart from Lin Que, Chen Changhua, who was close to Professional Ninth Pin, could also firmly suppress the others. Even if he was about to leave the Martial Arts Club and lose the opportunity to practice in actual combat, he had already told Coach Shi in advance. Wasn't there still Senior Sun Jian? He was the main force of the last semester's district competition!
He didn't slack off during the winter vacation and practiced hard every day. Finally, he turned the hard work and accumulation of the previous months into a harvest. Now that he had reached the level of Amateur Second Pin, would Senior Sun Jian slack off?
If that was the case, what motivation would he have to participate in the special training?
Besides, Senior Sun Jian's girlfriend, Lin Hua, was not much worse than him. It wasn't surprising that she suddenly had an epiphany and mastered the still stance and used the winter vacation to catch up with him.
But the second main force of the preliminaries was not Chen Changhua, Senior Sun, or Lin Hua, but Lou Cheng!
If it were other names, Li Mao would probably accept it after being surprised. Jiang Fusheng, Li Xiaowen, and Wu Meng were mediocre, and the main purpose of participating in the special training was to improve their ranks to a certain extent so that they could find more ways to find a job in the future. But stories of suddenly awakening dragons soaring to the sky happened from time to time. If it happened, he would sigh and be envious of them for a long time and feel disappointed for half a year. As for Guo Qing and Yan Zheke, the two freshmen, it was said that they were quite talented. It was reasonable for them to create miracles.
But that name was Lou Cheng!
Lou Cheng was the one who trained with him and fed him moves from the beginning!
She had personally witnessed him grow day by day from being at a loss of what to do to a skilled amateur fighter. She couldn't be more familiar with his strength. She had once been rather surprised by this, but compared to now, the surprise back then was simply insignificant. The distance from a standard rookie to a skilled fighter was definitely much shorter than the distance from a skilled fighter to a main force in the qualifiers. It was much, much shorter.
At this time, the strange silence around made Li Mao sure that he didn't hear wrong. He couldn't help but be in a trance.
Was it only reasonable in novels, but not in reality?
He didn't want to believe, didn't want to believe, and didn't dare to believe. How could a newbie who had just become second to Lin Que? How long had it been?
Wu Meng, Jiang Fusheng, and Li Xiaowen were very unfamiliar with Lou Cheng. They only knew that he was a special training teammate and what he looked like. Usually, when they saw him, they would just nod and greet him. They didn't know his rank or his martial arts progress. At this moment, they were more confused than shocked.
Is it that Lou Cheng?
Is he the Lou Cheng we usually see?
Or was it someone with the same name?
If it was the former, how did he suddenly rise from a nobody to a main force in the qualifiers?
Chen Changhua, Sun Jian, and Lin Hua's feelings were different from Li Mao's. They stared at Geezer Shi, unable to believe that Lou Cheng, who could not even enter the substitute list of the Divisional Competition more than two months ago, who could only do odd jobs like logistics, who had no imposing manner in normal times, had suddenly become the main force of the Martial Arts Club without a fight!
They just stared at Geezer Shi, expecting him to say "I was just kidding". They even forgot that Lou Cheng was beside them and could see them if they turned their heads!
In the indescribable silence, Lou Cheng looked at Yan Zheke, only to see her wrinkling her pretty nose at him, as if to say, "Look! This is your "sin"! "
He couldn't help but smile. He glanced at Lin Que next to him, wanting to see what the leader of the Martial Arts Club thought of him as the second main force. He also wanted to see what his brother-in-law thought of him …
Maybe it was because of the delay that gave Lin Que time to recover. Lou Cheng didn't see anything from Lin Que's face. He was as cold and introverted as usual, showing no interest in anything other than martial arts.
"Cheng? Why is Cheng the second main force? " It was Guo Qing who broke the strange silence. She blurted out and looked at Yan Zheke next to her in surprise, as if she wanted to get an explanation from her.
Soon, she turned her head and looked for Lou Cheng in the distance, trying to make sure that he didn't have three heads and six arms!
"Cough!"
Geezer Shi coughed to attract everyone's attention. Then he ordered casually,
"Lou Cheng, Lin Que, you two fight. I'll be the referee."
Fight? With Lin Que? Li Mao and Sun Jian finally looked at Lou Cheng. They didn't know what to say, as if they were saying, "It's for real!"
Fight? With Lin Que? Lou Cheng was shocked at first, and then his body trembled with an indescribable feeling.
This day had come earlier than he had expected!
After the Jindan started to play a role in martial arts, he often fantasized about improving his strength day by day. When he was in his third or fourth year, he would be able to realize the idea of a real man when he first met Lin Que and compete with him for the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Club.
After the Little Warrior Sage Challenge Tournament, he had a whole new understanding of his own martial arts level. He felt that if Lin Que had not broken through to the Dan stage in another half a year, he would have a chance of winning if they were to fight again.
When he started practicing Thunder Roar Zen this morning, he thought that once he mastered the basics of this martial art, he would have a chance to challenge Lin Que. This martial art shocked the opponent in fighting and the self in practicing. It shocked the bone marrow, meridians, and internal organs with the sound of thunder and gradually tempered them. It was to integrate the strength of the whole body and achieve Absolute Reaction, laying the most solid foundation for the Dan stage.
But he didn't expect that on the first day of the new semester's special martial arts training, on the first day of Thunder Roar Zen, his master would ask him to fight with Lin Que before he was ready!
He closed his eyes, calmed down his trembling, and became excited and eager to fight.
This was a fight with his former target!
This was a fight with the young warrior who used to be high and mighty in his mind!
To be honest, he had been worried that Yan Zheke would fall in love with Lin Que. However, due to the huge gap between him and Lin Que in all aspects, he couldn't bring himself to be jealous of him. Instead, he only felt a strong sense of jealousy and fear, as well as a sense of inferiority that he didn't want to admit. However, after knowing that Lin Que was his brother-in-law, most of these feelings disappeared completely.
No matter what the result was, when he could face him calmly, stand in the same arena with him, and fight with him fiercely, he would completely bury the feeling of inferiority in the past!
Lin Que's eyes seemed to brighten up a little. He strode out of the line and walked towards the arena. Lou Cheng subconsciously looked at Yan Zheke and saw that she was looking at him with a little worry.
Worry? Lou Cheng felt warm in his heart and was filled with more strength. He walked up the stone steps on the other side of the arena at a moderate pace.
"Three minutes." Geezer Shi made everything seem so formal.
Then a soft voice came into Lou Cheng's ears. It was Geezer Shi. He said, "Don't use the Power of Blaze. Let me have an accurate grasp of your pure martial arts strength."
"Okay." Lou Cheng nodded slightly and slightly pursed his lips. Looking at the cool but indifferent Lin Que in front of him, he found that this was the first time he looked at him like this.
He was no longer a target, but an opponent!
Then how much did he know about his martial arts?
In his memory, Lou Cheng suddenly realized that he didn't know enough about Lin Que's martial arts!
On the surface, Lin Que had participated in several matches, and he himself had watched the whole process, so it was impossible for him to lack knowledge. But after careful analysis, there was a big problem. Lin Que's kung fu was either the most common combination of moves like Cannon, Hammer, Whip, Pull, Tear, Pull, and Stir, or the 24 Blizzard Strikes that he learned after joining the Martial Arts Club. What about his family's kung fu?
As for Yan Zheke, he was sure that their grandpa and grandma were not small masters and had inherited their unique martial arts. Why didn't Lin Que use them?
Although the 24 Blizzard Strikes was also a combination of ordinary moves such as Cannon, Hammer, and Whip, once they were combined with different forces, different techniques, and different visualization methods, they would have different characteristics and different schools. For example, the ancient Xingyi like the Tiger Shape, the contemporary Xingyi like the Cannon Fist, the Wuthering Eight Movements, and the Great Stele Throwing Hand. However, Lin Que's moves were extremely ordinary and orthodox. They did not reflect the characteristics of his school at all!
Did he not practice his family's unique martial arts?
Impossible! When Master taught him the Yin-Yang Stance on the first day, he was able to beat Chen Changhua quickly with the skill of changing the center of gravity. Obviously, he had already entered the threshold of Meditation and practiced a similar visualization method. He had a deep understanding of the body and had a complete inheritance!
Then why didn't he use it?
Yan Zheke looked worried. Was there going to be an unexpected change this time? Would he use his family's martial arts?
While speculating, Lou Cheng was also analyzing Lin Que's weaknesses. But because he did not know much about his martial arts foundation, he could only confirm one point. His physical strength was weak, and he could only last one round of 24 Blizzard Strikes in the district competition.
But this was last semester. As for Lin Que now …
Lou Cheng closed his eyes. He could vaguely hear his opponent's strong heartbeat and the sound of blood gushing through his body.
According to Yan Zheke, his qi and blood were at the peak of the body refining state, which made up for his physical strength.
Since he did not know his opponent well and could not grasp his weakness, then he should "take me as the master".
But if he "took me as the master", he should show all his strength from the beginning, like a life and death battle!
Thinking about this, Lou Cheng calmed down and opened his eyes. Deep in his eyes was a piece of serenity, like a frozen lake. His body's center of gravity was adjusted naturally, constantly changing like flowing mercury. But opposite him, Lin Que did not say a word, like an old monk practicing Silent Meditation.
At this moment, Geezer Shi coughed and said,
"Start!
The audience held their breath, waiting to "see" Lou Cheng's moves.
Lou Cheng's footsteps were crisscrossing, and his center of gravity was constantly swaying, which made it easy for people to have an illusion.
Suddenly, he saw Lin Que step and slide, instantly changing from a standstill to a sprint, like the combination of Ye Youting's Leopard Form and Zhou Yuanning's Wuthering Eight Movements. Not only was Lin Que unbelievably fast, but he also grasped the timing perfectly. In an unexpected way, Lin Que came in front of him, blocking the position where it was difficult for him to use force and dodge.
That vision, that judgment, that footwork!
Bam! Lin Que's right hand punched out with a Half-step Crushing Punch. The distance was short, and the force was so strong that it seemed to shake the air, leaving no chance for Lou Cheng to dodge.
Lou Cheng did not wait to stop moving forward. He swayed his center of gravity, sprung his spine, and moved his back like a flood dragon, forcibly moving to the side and narrowly avoiding the punch.
If not for his mercurial center of gravity, with his ability to control his body, he would not have been able to dodge in such a hurry.
Hiss … Li Mao and others made different sounds.
They did not have a direct impression of the level of Lin Que's attack just now, but they felt that it should be so. But they were shocked by Lou Cheng's almost mysterious body movement.
Just by this dodge, they could imagine his strength!
Li Mao subconsciously looked at Cai Zongming next to him, and smiled blankly and bitterly.
"Why do I feel that reality is a little bit like a fantasy?"
"I have felt so for a long time …" Cai Zongming looked at the arena and sighed.
