Lou Cheng seized the time to recover a little so that his thinking and reaction would not slow down immediately. But he also paid a price. He had just learned that his opponent had been replaced by Qiu Yang, so he had no time to carefully recall Qiu Yang's match images and relevant information.
Fortunately, Qiu Yang's fighting style was distinctive and his personal characteristics were very strong, which left a deep impression on him. Now, after a little thinking, many key points naturally emerged, so he was not at a loss.
Qiu Yang, nicknamed "Mad Dog", was the type who fought desperately and crazily. He was the type who was not afraid of death and seldom defended or simply dodged. He liked to attack with attack, take risks and seize opportunities. He liked to sacrifice himself to win.
This fighting style seemed to be quite simple, as long as one was fierce and courageous enough. But after careful analysis, one could taste the martial arts level involved in it.
In a fight between masters, it was not always possible to sacrifice oneself to win. There would not be a situation where one would fearlessly attack the enemy's vital points when he was about to be hit and rely on the referee to stop the fight to win, because there was no such opportunity!
In such a situation, the underdog would have no time to attack the enemy's vital points. If he forced himself to attack, he would be heavily injured in advance, making the counterattack weak and even abruptly stopped!
Just like in the battle between Lou Cheng and Dong Yi, when faced with the Dark Thunder Palm, Lou Cheng did use a side kick to force his opponent to give up the killing move. However, the key point was not the side kick. Because of his preemptive reaction, Dong Yi would have cursed him for being an idiot and then calmly stabbed him in the waist. It would have been so painful that Lou Cheng couldn't use his strength and kick out his leg.
If this was not enough, Dong Yi's hand was already on Lou Cheng's waist and pressed down and blocked. Who could complete the side kick?
Therefore, using the method of attacking the enemy's vital points to win the enemy's compromise not only relied on courage, guts and ruthlessness, but also on vision, insight, judgment and the martial arts level to seize the opportunity.
Without the latter, only the former would be underage gangsters. If they competed with courage and ruthlessness, they were definitely strong enough, but could they win against a professional master? They would probably be beaten so badly that even their mothers would not recognize them after one round.
With an accurate judgment, a perfect grasp of timing, and a martial prowess that was sufficient to support the completion of one's thoughts, in addition to one's courage and determination, one would be able to exchange injuries for death by attacking one's vital points, forcing the other party to have no choice but to first protect themselves.
Even if the opponent was a lunatic and did not change, the referee would still intervene and easily determine the final victor. That was because in a situation where there was no referee, it was clear who was injured and who was killed. The one who survived would definitely be considered the winner.
Dong Yi's last poke at Lou Cheng was a perfect combination of vision, judgment, timing, and courage. Of course, it was also because Lou Cheng didn't expect Dong Yi to have such a crazy idea. Once he was mentally prepared and knew Dong Yi's style, with his mercurial balance, there was a good chance that he could hurt Dong Yi and dodge the attack at the same time.
If there was a desperate fight where both sides were injured, the referee would usually not intervene if it did not result in death or disability. However, if the opportunity was equal and both sides were likely to die together or be disabled, the referee would decide to call it a draw after stopping the fight. This was not unprecedented.
Of course, there was bound to be some wrangling. For example, if someone said, "I've just mastered the Iron Crotch Technique, so I'm not afraid of being kicked in the groin," or "I've just reached the Invincible Vajra Realm, so it doesn't matter if my vital points are attacked," then the referee would ask for a demonstration and change the decision according to the facts.
In this, the referee was very important, but they were not omnipotent. There would be times when they could not stop it, and death and injury were inevitable. There were similar cases every year, but the relative probability was not high, even lower than car accidents. Even so, the official competition would also buy corresponding personal insurance for all the participants.
Every life and every disability would be investigated by the police department to confirm that there was no collusion or intentional negligence. If there was, it would be considered murder.
As for the competition between the physical invulnerability experts, the referee could not intervene. If the strength was not enough, he would not even dare to stay in the arena. Anyway, it was easy to injure experts of this level, but difficult to kill or cripple them, so there was no need to worry too much about them.
All in all, Qiu Yang had not only relied on his viciousness and courage to survive until now, but also his martial arts level and judgment. He was the best of the best.
Whoever looked down on him because of his nickname and fighting style would definitely end up in a miserable state.
Moreover, Lou Cheng noticed something. According to the data, Qiu Yang had several experiences of forfeiting. When facing an enemy one or two levels higher than him, he would always forfeit without exception.
In other words, he was very clear-headed and knew that if he encountered a strong enemy with the Mad Dog style, it was very likely that he would be seriously injured, and nothing could be exchanged for it.
He was a very rational "mad dog".
While Lou Cheng was thinking, Qiu Yang had already stood in position and set up his stance. The referee raised his right hand and announced the start of the match.
As if he had received the order to start running, Qiu Yang sprang up and rushed to Lou Cheng like an arrow. His eyes were crazy and his momentum was overwhelming, as if he wanted to raze everything in front of him to the ground and tear it into pieces.
Lou Cheng had come up with a strategy for this battle, which was to rely on his mercurial balance to fight for a long time. This was because similar crazy fighting style without any regard for one's own safety was a little bit like Cheng Yaojin's Three Axes. Once they were dragged for a long time, their spirit would be dulled, and their "madness" would be reduced. They would be on the verge of failure. Qiu Yang's previous battle videos could fully prove this point.
However, facing the enemy's advance, Lou Cheng did not immediately use the Mercurial Balance to dodge. He felt that under such momentum, once he flinched and dodged, it was very likely that he would subconsciously become timid, which would gradually reduce his morale. Then he would be chased by Qiu Yang like a defeated army. Therefore, even if he wanted to fight with the Mad Dog, he had to fight with the enemy for a while to reduce his momentum.
Lou Cheng's eyes reflected Qiu Yang's figure. When Qiu Yang was about to approach him, he suddenly twisted his waist, tightened his thighs, and kicked his knee.
This was a well-behaved move, which was also a good choice in the situation where it was difficult to use the right hand.
But Qiu Yang, as his nickname, did not use his leg to block the kick, nor did he hastily change his direction. Instead, he jumped up in a way that violated the taboo of fighting at this level.
Like a ferocious eagle, he leaped over the kick and extended his right hand, preparing to hit Lou Cheng's temple from the side. At the same time, he bent his body and positioned his legs, waiting for a series of "stomps" on Lou Cheng's chest. Attacking from the top and the bottom, it was hard to defend. Ruthless and crazy!
If Lou Cheng could use his right hand, he would have a lot of choices at this time, such as using his arm to block the kick, or using his elbow to protect his face. Then he would learn from Lin Que's continuous attacks and shake Qiu Yang away, and seize the opportunity to attack.
But now, he could only use one hand, and his right leg had not been withdrawn in time. He could only protect his head, but not his chest.
At the critical moment, Lou Cheng suddenly leaned back, rolled to the left, and kicked out his right leg again, making it like a tight whip, fiercely lashing at Qiu Yang, who could not change his direction in midair.
Iron Bridge, Dragon Turning Over!
After this fall and kick, Lou Cheng not only avoided the attack on his temple and chest, but also completed the counterattack.
With his left hand on the ground, his whip leg exploded the air fiercely and terrifyingly. Qiu Yang had to squirm his spine and kick out his legs to avoid this dangerous attack.
Bang!
Lou Cheng took advantage of the momentum and stood up again, while Qiu Yang fell a few steps away. As soon as he touched the ground, he straightened his knees and threw himself at Lou Cheng again without any hesitation. His momentum was extremely crazy.
Facing this, Lou Cheng saw that the position was suitable, so he shook his left arm and shot out like a big gun to Qiu Yang's face.
Qiu Yang's spine squirmed like a dragon trying to break free from its shackles. He slid to the right and came behind Lou Cheng. Then he clenched his right hand into a fist and hit the spine, fast and hard.
During this process, he stood in a very clever place, closer to Lou Cheng's right side, taking advantage of the fact that Lou Cheng's right hand was injured and could not fight back.
At this moment, Lou Cheng swung his center of gravity and bounced to the left, which made him move quickly and avoid Qiu Yang's Dragon-Catching Punch.
After the Iron Plank Bridge Dragon Ascension, he adjusted his body muscles so that he was in the state of "mercurial balance".
He was not careless about Qiu Yang's punch. He did not try to twist his waist and pull his leg because he was afraid that Qiu Yang would lower himself and roll under him. Then he would perform the Shoulder Kick or Monkey Steals the Peach.
It was risky for an attacker, but Qiu Yang would do it according to his style.
Seeing that Lou Cheng moved away, Qiu Yang stepped on the ground and made an explosion in the depth of the arena. Then he continued to attack crazily.
As if there was a ball in his body, Lou Cheng turned again, but he did not escape. Instead, he swung his left arm for a short fight with abrupt force.
As soon as Qiu Yang approached, he visualized the mouth of a poisonous snake in his mind. He clenched his right hand and fought back without dodging.
"Poisonous Punch? Biting Force! "
Bang!
With a strong and crisp sound, Lou Cheng's fist spewed out flames and collided with Qiu Yang's right hand.
Hiss! Both of them took a light breath and withdrew their hands at the same time. One of them felt like he was bitten by a sharp tooth, the other felt like he was burned by a flame. Both of them were mentally prepared and finished their follow-up actions calmly, leaving no chance for the opponent to take advantage of.
Seeing this, Geezer Shi and Yan Zheke were puzzled. They did not understand why Lou Cheng used the Power of Blaze, which could not affect the opponent temporarily.
"Could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to temper and improve his supernatural ability?" Geezer Shi pondered.
Lou Cheng's idea was similar to his guess. Although his spirit had recovered a little, the mercurial balance required extreme concentration and could not be maintained for long. Therefore, he had to plan early.
He planned to use the Power of Blaze frequently to gradually squeeze the Jindan and try the second "awakening". He wanted to try actively!
After refining his bone marrow and five viscera bit by bit with Thunder Roar Zen, his physical quality improved rapidly. The cultivation during the winter vacation was not in vain. He thought that he could barely bear the initial backfire. He planned to try the Thunder Roar Zen in two or three weeks when he reached the entry level. Now that he was a little ahead of schedule, it should not be a big problem.
However, ideals were just ideals most of the time. After a while of guerrilla fighting with mercurial balance, he tragically found that he had no chance to use abrupt force or release flames because the opponent would not cooperate with him.
If he tried it rashly, he would be defeated before he could squeeze the Jindan.
The "bitterness" in his heart couldn't be felt by outsiders, but both Qiu Yang and the audience in the stands were getting more and more desperate. They couldn't see any sign of weakness from Lou Cheng, and they couldn't see any possibility of his physical strength declining. It seemed that he could continue to rely on his mercurial balance and wouldn't give up until Qiu Yang was exhausted to death!
Qiu Yang narrowed his eyes and seized the opportunity when they were close to each other. In his mind, he visualized a poisonous snake that shot lightning and bit people. His body trembled and his spine bent into a bow shape. Then he suddenly bounced up and pushed himself to the front of Lou Cheng at a speed beyond the body refining state. He clenched his right fist and threw out the "Poisonous Bite".
Lou Cheng had a deep impression of this killer move when he watched the video. He did not dodge blindly because the subsequent chain of kicks would be more terrible. He shook his left shoulder and bounced up his arm to block the punch. At the same time, he steadied his center of gravity and was ready to twist his waist and swing his leg to block the next killer move.
Bang!
Lou Cheng suddenly realized that they were too close to each other. Qiu Yang's left hand was injured, so he couldn't punch out, leaving a huge opening for Lou Cheng to attack.
His right arm was seriously affected by the injury, but it did not mean that he could not use it at all!
Enduring the pain and the consequences of aggravating the injury, he could still throw a punch or two!
Lou Cheng did not hesitate to tighten his right arm and endure the pain. Then he threw a Seabed Forward Punch at Qiu Yang's lower abdomen.
At the same time, Qiu Yang's crazy eyes locked on Lou Cheng's lower abdomen.
I have not used my left hand because I was waiting for this opportunity!
It can't use its full strength, but it can still help me win at the critical moment!
My previous patience should have completely paralyzed you!
Bang!
He threw a Crushing Punch at Lou Cheng's lower abdomen.
They threw out their punches quickly. Because of the difference in height and body shape, even though they were on the same side, they did not directly hit each other. Instead, they ran to the target by brushing against each other's fists.
Bang! Bang! The referee reached out to block their fists. He gasped and said,
"Draw!"
Draw? Qiu Yang felt that this was the most inexplicable match he had ever fought. How could the well-prepared trap end in a draw?
Lou Cheng was as confused as Qiu Yang. He vaguely felt that he and Qiu Yang had made the same choice at that moment.
Fortunately, I still have the desire to win, and I was brave and determined enough to not hesitate at that time …
This is also good. A draw means that both of us left the stage. I still have someone behind me, but Fearless Squad has no one!
In other words, we won!
We won!
