The sun at the end of July was scorching and fierce. Even at eight in the morning, it was still daunting.
Knowing that his opponent in the knockout round of the top 32 was Xing Jingjing, Lou Cheng recalled what Yan Zheke had told him.
His girlfriend's best friend's supernatural ability was to affect the surrounding air and create visual and auditory errors, creating an effect similar to illusions.
"It sounds like it can be countered by Absolute Reaction …" Lou Cheng murmured to himself. He smiled cautiously. "Ke, Coach Yan, do you have any videos of Jingjing's matches?"
"I do, but I don't think it's useful … Jingjing only participated in the University Martial Arts Competition last year, and Huahai has Ann Chaoyang, a Professional Seventh Pin fighter. She won't be able to face a Dan stage opponent. The fights between Professional Ninth Pin fighters won't be of much use to you now …" Yan Zheke answered while thinking.
The year before Peng Leyun entered Shanbei University, the champion of the National University Martial Arts Competition was Huahai University. They had a strong foundation and many strong fighters. Even now, Ann Chaoyang, who was about to enter his senior year, was a genius on par with Peng Leyun and Ren Li. Because he always looked sleepy, his nickname was "Sleeping Tiger". It was said that he was trying his best to break through to Sixth Pin.
"I still have to take a look and get a direct impression of her superpower. If I were to fail miserably here, how am I supposed to face others?" How can I face your best friends? "Lou Cheng said humorously.
"That's true … Cheng, I won't cheer for you today." Yan Zheke's tone became light. "If you lose to Jingjing, I'll laugh at you for half a year!"
Speaking of this, she solemnly said, "Don't be careless. I feel that the Absolute Reaction may not be reliable."
"What?" Lou Cheng was surprised.
"Think about it. What is the principle of Absolute Reaction?" Yan Zheke asked.
Lou Cheng thought about what he had learned and seen. "When one's martial arts is practiced to the finest level, the strength of the whole body is almost as one, and when it blends with the spirit, Qi, and blood, the body can sense the slight changes in the environment. When the enemy attacks, as long as there is a real intention, no matter the look or the preparation, it will cause disturbances, more or less affecting the surroundings. That's why Absolute Reaction exists."
"What is the medium of this disturbance?" Yan Zheke reminded him.
"Air …" Lou Cheng couldn't help but take a breath.
From the looks of it, Xing Jingjing's supernatural ability had the potential to mislead and stimulate to a certain extent …
This battle wasn't going to be easy …
In an instant, the first thing that came to his mind was the special feature of the Jindan, which helped him to sense Zhan Xuming's approach. It seemed to be a perfect counter to Xing Jingjing's supernatural ability. But he gave up the idea after a second thought, because it went against his original goal — to not rely on the Jindan and to measure his own strength.
During the battle with Liu Xunzhen yesterday, although he had borrowed the Jindan's ability to recover fatigue, he had already won. Even if he didn't use it, it would only be a little troublesome.
This time, if he mainly relied on his Jindan, then it would be meaningless.
"I have to seriously think about how to make the call …" Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke exchanged a few words and hung up the phone. He took off his clothes and stood under the faucet of the shower, pondering.
…
On one side was her boyfriend, and on the other side was her best friend. Yan Zheke was in a dilemma. After ending the call, she knelt on the bed, thinking about the fight this morning.
Which side should I take?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. She quickly changed her sitting position and said, "Who is it? Sister Lingxi? "
She vaguely recognized the footsteps of her cousin, Ji Lingxi.
"You have good hearing." Ji Lingxi opened the door and leaned against the door with a smile. "We're going out to sea. Do you want to come?"
She was half a head taller than Yan Zheke and looked more like Ji Mingyu when she was younger than her cousin.
"No, it's boring. I don't like parties that are too noisy and messy." Yan Zheke frowned slightly.
To be honest, going out to sea on Grandpa's yacht and looking at the blue sky was indeed relaxing and relaxing. Occasionally, fishing and chatting were quite interesting.
But now she felt that without Cheng's company, she couldn't muster up the energy to do these things. Not to mention that her cousin would invite friends to different kinds of parties at sea. She didn't like such occasions and was even more resistant.
Ji Lingxi chuckled. "Many men will be very disappointed. They've been yearning for our quiet little beauty."
Because of Yan Zheke's father's genes, Yan Zheke was undoubtedly the most beautiful in the generation of the Ji family. She was also very gentle and scholarly.
"Gentle and quiet? How am I gentle and quiet? "Yan Zheke burst into laughter.
Well, I have to let Cheng know that someone praised me for being gentle and quiet!
"You're always so quiet at every banquet and gathering. You don't like to talk!" Ji Lingxi laughed. "Alright, it's fine if you don't want to go. Come with me later."
"Ah …" Yan Zheke frowned.
This was not a simple and easy task!
Watching her cousin leave, she recalled the conversation just now and realized that she had actually "nagged" Cheng twice in just a few words …
She already knew the answer to her previous dilemma. She smiled to herself and said,
"Sister Jingjing, I'm sorry!"
I value love more than friends!
…
Lou Cheng jogged into the stadium and came to the big screen to confirm the matchups.
"Central Arena, fourth match in the morning. No. 18 Lou Cheng, 19 years old, Professional Ninth Pin. No. 79 Xing Jingjing, 20 years old, Professional Ninth Pin."
Fourth match … Lou Cheng was about to leave the big screen when a woman in a business suit suddenly came to him. She smiled and showed eight teeth. "Mr. Lou Cheng, right?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Lou Cheng asked in confusion.
"I'm Fang Siqi, a staff member of the Youth Tournament Organizing Committee." The woman in business suit smiled like a spring breeze. "I'm responsible for taking you to the exclusive lounge."
"Exclusive lounge?" Lou Cheng was confused, but he was able to confirm Fang Siqi's identity from her tag and other items.
Fang Siqi answered with a smile, "You'll understand when you get there."
She pointed and led the way. She led Lou Cheng through the stadium to the other end, where they entered a lounge with many rooms.
"Mr. Lou Cheng, there's a retreat room, a viewing room, a puppet room, a massage room, a hydrotherapy room, and a shower room … It can help you relax and recover before and after a match … You can choose an unmarked room …" Fang Siqi explained dutifully.
Lou Cheng seemed to understand something. He asked, "Is this the exclusive lounge for the seeded players?"
"Yes, you're qualified to use this place." Fang Siqi answered humbly.
If Lou Cheng was already twenty-four or twenty-five years old, the leaders of the Organizing Committee wouldn't make such an arrangement even if his current performance was very outstanding. They were all doing business and didn't need to worry about offending anyone.
However, a nineteen-year-old in the Dan stage who had been practicing martial arts for less than a year … Everyone was looking forward to seeing how far he could go in the future. It was normal to show some favor when there was a chance.
"I see." Lou Cheng nodded and didn't say anything more.
After sharing this with Yan Zheke, he suddenly felt a bit more pressure.
If he was eliminated by Xing Jingjing right after he got the right to use the exclusive lounge, it would be a big loss of face!
…
From the top 32, there was only the central ring left. There were sixteen matches, eight in the morning and eight in the afternoon, with some small programs in between.
In other words, all the matches would be broadcasted!
Looking at the staff of the TV station busily preparing, Wei Renjie smiled and said to Chu Weicai and Sun Yixing, "If Lou Cheng wins two or three more matches, the brand of Xiushan will be famous … It's a pity that he won't have time to participate in the preliminaries …"
Sun Yixing had already understood Lou Cheng's situation and thoughts from Chu Weicai, so he wasn't jealous anymore. He answered sincerely, "If he really participates in the preliminaries, with the situation of our province, he might be able to lead the team into the second stage of the preliminaries."
He really couldn't think of fighting against such a genius who didn't have any interest with him.
Of course, there was hurt when there was a comparison, especially when Wei Renjie kept mentioning Lou Cheng. He also felt a lot of bitterness and suffering in his heart.
"Lou Cheng's future is not in Xiushan …" Chu Weicai said with a sigh.
After yesterday, the name of Gushan Martial Arts School spread throughout the province along with Lou Cheng's popularity. The advertising value was more than a million!
This was the advantage of making friends in advance!
Wei Renjie was quite emotional. "Yeah, the pond is too small to raise a real dragon."
…
After the matches, Lou Cheng got the hint from the staff to leave the lounge. Under the gaze of many people, he went up to the ring. Xing Jingjing was already there, wearing a black martial arts suit that set off her snow-white skin, which made her look cold and beautiful.
Seeing her, Lou Cheng suddenly remembered what his girlfriend had said before.
Sister Jingjing's supernatural ability came from fear, from the mentality of wanting to avoid danger.
