The sky was dark and gloomy. A spring rain was brewing, forcing the Songcheng University Martial Arts Arena to turn on the lights in advance and illuminate the entire arena.
Compared to last week when they spontaneously came, the students who rushed into the stadium this time did not buy trumpets, cheering sticks, and other items. However, many of them had already recalled the experience last year, which set off waves after waves of cheers around them. Each wave was louder than the last.
Hearing "Songcheng University Songcheng University", Mo Zicong, the captain of Azure Dragon Squad, couldn't help but sigh,
"When can we have such a home ground, such an atmosphere …"
He and his three companions didn't find a seat, but stood at the back of the highest part of the stands, like four pillars and four security guards.
Deng Hua with the Mohican hairstyle put away his relaxed expression and smiled bitterly,
"Others brought it themselves. We can't learn it, unless we can fight in the preliminaries one day …"
They were a local team in Songcheng, unlike Yimo, or Songcheng University Martial Arts Club, which had tens of thousands of students as its natural support. They had to compete with many strong teams for supporters. Songcheng, as the provincial capital, had two "clubs" that had entered the third level of the district competition, which had harvested most of the corresponding market, leaving very little for the strong teams in the preliminaries.
The Azure Dragon Squad was a combination of three martial arts schools. They had rented the second hall of the Songcheng Martial Arts Stadium as their home ground. The stands that could hold a few thousand spectators usually only had six to seven hundred spectators. This was because many people were used to coming to watch a few fights on the weekends.
Therefore, they placed a lot of importance on whether or not they could advance to the next round in a group. That meant that they would be able to get a share of the broadcast, a bigger audience, and a martial arts unique skill reward that was only one step away. After losing to Yimo Fearless Squad, they no longer had a way out. They had to defeat Songcheng University Martial Arts Club!
Therefore, they took advantage of the fact that their match was on Sunday to come to Songcheng University to watch Lou Cheng's fight up close. After all, this was a genius who had reached the professional level in half a year. Two weeks of recuperation might bring him a lot of changes. This match wasn't a focus match, only a recording. As for when it would be broadcasted after the recording, it would depend on the TV station's arrangement.
…
In the locker room of the home team, Geezer Shi took a sip of wine and leisurely said to Lou Cheng, Sun Jian, Li Mao, Yan Zheke and the others,
"Finally, Peng Chengguang is really good. If he can get some good martial arts, it won't be a big problem for him to reach Dan stage in a year. He can be considered as one of the top ten Professional Ninth Pin fighters in Songcheng. However, I always feel that the ranking of the top ten Professional Ninth Pin is nonsense. it's like when you were in school, there were top 10 in your grade and top 10 in class. it's normal......
"Haha …" Lou Cheng and the others were amused and the atmosphere lightened up.
Although they had all been caught by Coach Shi in one fell swoop and placed in the "bad students" category, who could refute his words given his status as a Mighty One with physical invulnerability?
Geezer Shi was very satisfied with the effect of his words. He said proudly, "Sun Jian, Li Mao, you two fight one after the other. Apart from Peng Chengguang, Gao Rao, Zhang Ying, Qu Yu and Liu Wei of Mingwei Martial Arts School are not much worse than you. Go all out and don't worry.
Lou Cheng laughed and raised his hand. "Coach Shi, you're giving me a lot of pressure!"
Yan Zheke, who was beside him, had been covering her mouth and laughing. Li Mao also relaxed.
"Pressure?" Geezer Shi wouldn't say that he was giving pressure on purpose. He laughed and said, "I remember that this is your first fight on home ground, right?"
Lou Cheng was stunned and nodded seriously.
"Yes!"
Indeed, I almost forgot. This is my first fight on behalf of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club in our school!
Geezer Shi nodded slightly and pointed outside. "Listen carefully."
The locker room fell silent immediately. Lou Cheng listened carefully and heard the familiar shouts. He heard the waves of voices that had brought him great shock. He heard the roars that had left a deep impression on him.
"Songcheng University! Songcheng University! "
"Songcheng University! Songcheng University! "
This time, they were crying for him!
"Did you hear that?" Geezer Shi asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Lou Cheng nodded hard.
Geezer Shi chuckled and asked again, "Do you feel pressured?"
"Yes." Lou Cheng didn't hide his slight trembling. His left hand felt Yan Zheke's delicate palm.
Geezer Shi's expression suddenly became serious. He said in a low voice,
"Do you want to win?"
The shouts echoed in Lou Cheng's ears. Suddenly, his blood surged in his chest. He shouted loudly, "Brother Liu!
"Yes!"
…
In the locker room of the away team, Peng Chengguang sat on a bench and looked at his junior brothers and sisters. He smiled slightly and said,
"Why do you look like you've made a mistake?"
He was wearing a dark gray martial arts suit and had a crew cut. His facial features were quite ordinary, but he had a calm temperament. He looked unusually capable.
Zhang Ying, who had a baby face, bit her lower lip and said, "Senior brother, we always feel like we're a burden to you. After our master passed away, you were the one who supported the martial arts club and prevented us from returning to the orphanage. But we, we not only failed to repay you, but also caused you to fail again and again. For several years, we couldn't advance in the group stage and get the martial arts unique skill reward …"
"Senior brother, if you were willing to join other teams, you would have gotten a good martial arts skill and advanced to the Dan stage long ago. We're so useless. We're only a burden!" Gao Rao, who had long arms and legs, said a little self-deprecatingly.
Peng Chengguang stretched out his hand and said,
"You don't have to say anymore. I promised our master that I would make the martial arts club flourish and give you all a good future. This is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you."
"Besides, if I want to make the martial arts club flourish, I definitely can't rely on myself. I need your help. After all, one hero needs four helpers, right?"
"Don't worry too much about this preliminaries. Our purpose is to use this opportunity to train ourselves. Of course it's good to win, but it doesn't matter if we lose. With this kind of experience, maybe next year or the year after, some of you will become professional fighters. At that time, if we work together, we won't be afraid that we can't advance. I'm still young. I can wait. "
Hearing that, Gao Rao put away his guilt and said worriedly, "Senior brother, Lou Cheng from Songcheng University Martial Arts Club should be able to fight today. You have to be careful."
Hearing this, Qu Yu, who was next to him, said, "Senior brother Gao, Lou Cheng is strong, but there's still a big gap between him and senior brother. It's said that his physical fitness has just reached the level of Professional Ninth Pin!"
"But he has mastered the mercurial balance and his physical strength is abnormal …" Liu Wei was also a little worried.
Peng Chengguang stopped the quarrel between his junior brothers and sisters and nodded with a smile.
"Lou Cheng is indeed very strong. He's an enemy that we have to look up to. In front of such a strong opponent, I should be modest and say that I'll be happy if I win, but it's also worth it if I lose. But I can't say it."
Speaking of this, he touched his left chest and said, "The more I face such a strong opponent, the more it beats, telling me …"
He stood up suddenly and said with a strong aura,
"I want to win!"
…
After the arrangement, Geezer Shi let Lou Cheng and the others move freely and wait for the fight.
Lou Cheng wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while before warming up. But he saw Yan Zheke take out her phone and press the buttons quickly.
Buzz! His phone in his pocket rang.
He took it out and saw a message from the girl. She said with a pitiful voice, "I'm so angry!"
"What's wrong?" Lou Cheng said with an emoji touching the head.
"I'm just kidding …" Yan Zheke replied with a blushing emoji. "I'm just a little disappointed. I thought I would have a chance to fight today. I always feel that with the ability to pull the center of gravity and Listening Skill, I'm not much worse than Senior Brother Sun Jian and Senior Brother Li Mao … (squatting and drawing circles in the corner) Am I too proud? Complacent? "
If it was Cai Xiaoming who said this, Lou Cheng would definitely reply, "You're so full of yourself after winning one fight." But facing his girlfriend, he would definitely say something different. "You're between the level of Amateur Second and Third Pin. You're close to them, but you're still lacking in actual combat experience."
"Yes, yes. I'll improve my actual combat experience in next week's Amateur Ranking Event!" Yan Zheke replied with an emoji with bright eyes.
It was the first Amateur Ranking Event of the year again!
Lou Cheng unconsciously smiled again. "Which Pin are you going to register for?"
"Amateur Second Pin! One must have a goal! " Yan Zheke sent an emoji with a red scarf wrapped around her head. "Hey, I think I said something like that before, but at that time my goal was Amateur Fifth Pin —"
"Yeah." Lou Cheng also recalled the past. "I thought it was too bold to register for Amateur Seventh Pin at that time."
"But now …" Yan Zheke sent an emoji with tears streaming down her face.
Without waiting for Lou Cheng's reply, she sent another message.
"Close your eyes and rest! Don't look at your phone! If you don't perform well, humph, don't think about doing that this week! "
It was you who sent the message first … Lou Cheng criticized in his mind and replied with a frightened emoji.
"Yes, Coach Yan!"
Seeing her boyfriend put down his phone and obediently closed his eyes to rest, Yan Zheke felt sweet in her heart. She was about to do the same, but suddenly found the door of the locker room opened and Lin Que walked in.
"Cousin is so late today …" She was surprised to see Lin Que expressionlessly gesturing to her to look at her phone.
"Eh? Look at my phone? "
When Yan Zheke's eyes moved downwards, she felt the vibration of her phone and saw the message from Lin Que.
"Last week at Tiantong Taoist temple, not only Xie Tianque saw you and Lou Cheng, but also Uncle Xie. He mentioned it when he visited grandpa this week."
"Your mother just called me and asked me if this was true."
"This …" Yan Zheke's body suddenly trembled and she felt as if her heart had stopped beating.
