Lou Cheng was still thinking about how to show off his power. He wondered if he should bring a rock over and smash it with a single whip in front of those kids. However, he also felt that it would be too deliberate, too forced, too pretentious, and too ungraceful of a master.
While thinking, he heard Qin Rui's question. He was stunned for a few seconds before he recovered. "I'm going to participate, but I don't know if I can register."
The full name of the Youth Tournament was "The Third Youth Champion Tournament of Xing Province". It was held once every three years. The registration requirement was to be a martial artist under the age of 26 from the province. Because of the saying, "If you can't achieve physical invulnerability by the age of 30, you'll never be able to achieve physical invulnerability."
Lou Cheng's age definitely met the requirements, but the problem was that his household registration had been moved to Songcheng University, where he participated in the Ranking Event. It was still a question whether he could be considered a martial artist from the province. This made him a little uncertain. He considered asking his master for help if he really couldn't get in.
Anyway, the address on my ID card is still Xiushan City!
"Registration?" Qin Rui was confused.
He, who had never gone to college, couldn't imagine how Cheng, who was born and raised in this place, wasn't a martial artist from his province. Until Lou Cheng explained it to him, he suddenly understood. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's simple. If you can't register yourself, you can go through our martial arts club. Didn't you read the supplementary rules? Martial artists from the province, including those who work in the province, can register through their company or unit. "
"Then I'm relieved." Lou Cheng was relieved and showed a sincere smile.
This was the Challenge Tournament that he had carefully selected. It perfectly met the requirements of having a lot of money, being at the right level, and not having to travel too much.
As for other competitions, there were some good ones. For example, the Battle of the Kings, which started in mid-August every year and ended in early April next year. Even if Lou Cheng wanted to participate, he would still be beaten up badly. He didn't have the strength to get the prize money at all.
The Youth Martial Artist Championship Competition of Xing Province was jointly organized by the provincial government and the provincial Martial Artist Association. At first, it was intended to be a benchmark to encourage young martial artists to work hard and change the image of a weak province. However, after the competition started, they found that the viewership ratings were quite good. After all, the fighting styles of Physical Invulnerability experts and high-ranked Dan Stage experts were very different from low-level fighting with bare hands and feet. Many of the audience liked to watch thunder and fire, but they also liked the feeling of blood boiling when fists hit flesh.
Therefore, after the first batch, there was a second batch, and then a third batch. With the rise of live streaming, the broadcasting fees increased rapidly, and so did the prize money. This year, the plan announced was that the top 32 would be given a prize money circle. It was not a progressive system. The champion would get 600,000 yuan, the runner-up would get 350,000 yuan, the third and fourth would get 200,000 yuan, the remaining four in the top eight would get 100,000 yuan, the remaining eight in the top 16 would get 50,000 yuan each, and the remaining 16 would get 10,000 yuan each.
Lou Cheng didn't know much about the martial arts circle in this province, but according to the information obtained from the Internet and Yan Zheke, there were at most seven or eight Dan Stage fighters under the age of 26, and even fewer Professional Ninth Pin fighters with supernatural abilities. As long as his luck wasn't too bad, he would be guaranteed to be in the top 32. He might even be able to compete for the top 16 or even the top 8!
If he could gain a lot from this month's training, Lou Cheng felt that he would have greater ambitions …
Qin Rui laughed and said sincerely, "Actually, this is our martial arts club's advantage. Think about it, when the time comes, the commentator will definitely say that you are the coach of the VIP class of Gushan Martial Arts Club in Xiushan City. With your strength, you will definitely be in the top 32. Then our martial arts club's fame will spread beyond Xiushan to the whole province. Hehe, maybe you will even be on the Xing Province Young Fighters Roll Call. "
Lou Cheng had looked up the information about the Youth Tournament, so he naturally knew what the Roll Call was. It was a summary program of the Youth Tournament that Xing Province Satellite TV imitated the ancient customs. Only the top 16 fighters and outstanding fighters in certain aspects would be invited for an interview, and then they would be given a nickname they made up on their own. Most of the time, it would be very melodramatic, such as Little White Dragon, Ultimate Boxing King, and so on.
Because he would always associate it with the Donglin Roll Call, Lou Cheng didn't have the slightest interest in it. He laughed and said, "Will you also participate in the program?"
"Yes, all the inner disciples will participate. This is what we told our parents when we signed up for the summer school. That's why the price is lower than last year's." Qin Rui took a breath and said with a longing look, "Although we definitely won't be in the top 32 and won't get the prize money, we can gain more practical experience. At the same time, we can figure out what level we are in among the young fighters in the province. Then we can find goals and motivation."
"Well, this doesn't sound like something you would say." Lou Cheng made a joke.
Qin Rui smiled bitterly and said, "This is what my master has been nagging about recently … Cheng, my master asked you to decide the fee for individual tutoring. How much do you plan to set?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this? I don't know how much I should charge for my level … "Lou Cheng answered awkwardly.
Besides, he could definitely teach a small class of ten. There was no need to go against his conscience and ask them for individual tutoring.
Some money could be earned, but some couldn't.
"Senior Brother Dai went to Gao Fen a month ago to inquire about this. The fee for individual tutoring of a Professional Ninth Pin fighter is 500 to 600 yuan per hour. You must be better than the average Professional Ninth Pin fighter, so you should at least charge 800 yuan per hour!" Qin Rui said with a smile, "Cheng, do you think no one will ask you for individual tutoring?"
"There are only ten people in the VIP class. It's almost the same as individual tutoring …" Lou Cheng frowned and said his thoughts.
Qin Rui smiled and said, "The ones who will ask you for individual tutoring are not the students in the VIP class, but us inner disciples and long-term students who want to become stronger!"
This kind of individual tutoring definitely did not involve the teaching of martial arts, so each person could solve many problems in one or two hours. There was no need to ask frequently.
"I see …" Lou Cheng finally understood that he was a real "discerning person", so he smiled and said to Qin Rui, "Anyway, it's free."
Those kids in the VIP class who only wanted to strengthen their bodies would never understand the value of a top Professional Ninth Pin fighter!
"No, no, it's too embarrassing to ask for free. How can I face you in the future? Just give me a classmate discount. " Qin Rui beamed and said, "I've booked two hours of individual tutoring next week. I have to prepare for the Youth Tournament!"
"Okay, a classmate discount of 30%. I'll call you when I'm free." Lou Cheng could understand Qin Rui's mentality of not wanting to take advantage of others, because he was the same kind of person.
In fact, he knew that Qin Rui didn't earn much. Since he was in his own teacher's martial arts club, the cost of practicing martial arts was borne by his teacher, so his corresponding salary was much lower than the normal standard of an Amateur First Pin fighter. It was said that his monthly salary before was two thousand plus commission for individual tutoring. After he got the Amateur First Pin certificate, his salary increased by one thousand. Among the inner disciples, Dai Linfeng only had a basic salary of three thousand and five hundred.
Of course, in a place like Xiushan, it was not bad.
Qin Rui was in a good mood, so he asked casually, "You don't have to visit relatives during the summer vacation, so you should be quite free. Hehe, are you going on a date with your girlfriend?"
"Hehe …" Lou Cheng laughed and admitted it. Anyway, Qin Rui already knew that he had a girlfriend.
It's all because of Fatty Jiang's big mouth!
At this time, the two of them walked back to the first floor. Instead of continuing the topic, they walked toward one of the summer classes. There were only five classes of summer students in the gymnasium at the same time. This was the limit. Any more and it would affect the long-term training of the students.
As they walked, Qin Rui suddenly felt that something was wrong. Because he didn't think about what he had just asked!
Cheng found his girlfriend when he was in college. How could he date during the summer vacation?
I just asked casually, and he admitted it?
Is he going to send her thousands of miles away … Uh, maybe she's from the same province … Maybe she's from Xiushan …
The more he thought about it, the more he was interested in gossip. He planned to ask someone later to see if there was anyone else in Xiushan studying in Songcheng.
…
Xu Rongfei, the inner disciple, looked helplessly at the summer class students who were all over the place in the horse stance. He put on a stern face and was about to lecture them when he suddenly saw Qin Rui walking over with a young man in a slim T-shirt.
The more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt this young man was. Then he remembered what Senior Brother Dai had said before. Qin Rui's classmate, Lou Cheng, was going to work part-time here!
All of a sudden, he seemed to have returned to the morning of the first day of the New Year, to that bloody and terrifying scene. He saw the insufferably arrogant man in black training clothes softly fall to the ground, and he saw the young man who still had some remnants of youth standing upright.
Yet now, he had already shed his immaturity and was no longer a youth. He slowly walked in front of her.
Xu Rongfei subconsciously straightened his body and greeted him respectfully,
"Brother Cheng …"
"Just call me Lou Cheng." Lou Cheng said with a smile.
You call me Brother Lou better than Brother Cheng! Don't you know the 2D world?
As he spoke, he glanced at the 30 boys and girls who were brimming with childishness. He felt their excitement for the first time.
Practicing martial arts was still a barbaric thing for the kids. Before the hardships, it would be full of fun …
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lou Cheng, Qin Rui, and Xu Rongfei greeted each other and continued to walk around the training ground on the first floor. Looking at their backs, a girl asked curiously, "Coach Xu, who is that? I didn't see him in the registration book before. "
The registration book would list the coaches in charge of each class. The strong ones would be described in detail, while the ordinary ones would be described in brief. The applicants were allowed to choose which class to join until they were full.
Xu Rongfei thought about Dai Linfeng's words and sighed.
"He's the new coach of the VIP class."
"Wow, the VIP class!" The students in the class of 30 expressed their admiration and yearning.
That's the martial arts class personally taught by the Dojo Master!
That big brother who looked so strong just now was on the same level as the Dojo Master?
…
After walking around the martial arts school, Qin Rui sent Lou Cheng off. When they waved goodbye, they saw Chu Weicai leading Dai Linfeng out in a hurry.
"Chairman Wei invited us over. Are you interested in joining us?" Chu Weicai stopped in front of Lou Cheng and asked politely.
"No, thanks." Lou Cheng declined the invitation.
"Then we'll go first." Chu Weicai didn't waste time and went straight to the parking lot with Dai Linfeng.
Qin Rui walked to Lou Cheng's side and said with a smile, "It's probably about the preliminaries again …"
Lou Cheng nodded. He had a rough idea of what was going on.
Qin Rui continued, "Previously, a few teams from Xiushan were eliminated in the group stage. Chairman Wei has a rough idea of our standards. He plans to select five to six fighters from a few big martial arts schools and invite one or two locally born Professional Ninth Pin fighters to undergo special training for half a year. It's said that not only will they be provided with funds, they will also be provided with internal training methods and a good coach …"
"It's not like you don't have a chance if you work hard. After all, you're already of Amateur First Pin." Lou Cheng saw the envy on Qin Rui's face and comforted him.
"I'll try my best." Qin Rui took a deep breath and smiled. "During this time, Chairman Wei has been inviting a few locally born Professional Ninth Pin fighters to come back for a discussion. Today, it's most likely because of this matter. In my opinion, the most suitable coach is here! Cheng, with your strength, won't you be able to defeat them? "
"Me? I don't have the time … "Lou Cheng shook his head.
If everything went well, when the preliminaries were in full swing next year, he would be on his way to the National University Martial Arts Competition.
