"Songcheng University! Songcheng University! "
The shouts were deafening like a tsunami, brimming with the surging enthusiasm of those who had gathered sand to build a tower. Lou Cheng even felt his scalp tingling and his body trembling. Hundreds and thousands of people gathered bit by bit to cheer for him was so soul-stirring that the blood in his body couldn't help but boil. He couldn't wait to be the one representing Songcheng University Martial Arts Club in the next battle.
After a month of hard practice, he had grasped the visualization and moves of 24 Blizzard Strikes. He kept practicing and improving, but since the start of the district contest, the special training was canceled. Without a reference, he was not sure what level he had reached.
Gathering his scattered thoughts, he refocused on Geezer Shi's explanation. This was the first time he participated in a martial arts competition and the first time he saw the locker room before a match.
Geezer Shi still looked like an empty nest old man, but he was a bit serious this time. He said to Lin Que, Chen Changhua, and the other leading players and substitutes, "The strongest one in Guannan is Gu Yue, a junior. He is the son of their instructor, Gu Zhen, and the president of the Martial Arts Club."
Pfft … Lou Cheng almost burst out laughing. He thought Geezer Shi would introduce him seriously, but he was gossiping about his opponent's background.
Geezer Shi changed the topic. "After hearing what I said, are you relieved? Do you think that this is a guy who got in through the back door? Hey, he did get in through the back door, but he is also a real talent. He passed the Professional Ranking Event in April this year and got Ninth Pin. He should have gotten in at the same time as you, Lin Que. "
Lin Que nodded slightly. He seemed to have known about it.
"Gu Yue is tall, strong, and strong. His fighting style is very tough. Pay attention to the adjectives I used, very tough." Geezer Shi coughed a few times. "You should have seen his match videos. I'll focus on three aspects. First, don't underestimate his strength and tough fighting style, ignoring his advantage in stamina. Except for the time when he lost to Qu Hui of Sanjiang, he always took the lead and fought all three matches without showing any signs of fatigue."
While talking, he glanced at Lou Cheng, as if to say, "We have a monster on our side."
Lou Cheng nodded silently, feeling sorry.
In terms of stamina, I can make him call me daddy!
"The second aspect is that he's very patient. When he runs into opponents who are skilled in guerrilla warfare, he will defend himself firmly and not follow them blindly. He will counter their attacks as they come. Then, he will either wait for their stamina to drop and reveal a problem, or he will purposely show an opening to lock them down. He will use a tough fighting style that is not afraid of being injured or running out of stamina to end the battle in a short time." Geezer Shi glanced at Lou Cheng again, as if to say, "If you are stronger, you will be Gu Yue's nemesis. Gu Yue will never be able to wait for your physical strength to decline."
If we really played like this, we could "battle" for three days and three nights to see who could defeat the Sandman … Lou Cheng was imagining such a scene. Unfortunately, it would be too unfriendly to the audience. He would be cursed at 18 generations of his ancestors, and no one would watch his matches in the future. He could only dream about it.
Geezer Shi magically took out a metal flagon, took a deep sip, and smacked his lips. "The third aspect is that according to my observation and the information collected by Lin Hua, Gu Yue is very conceited and proud. Therefore, he will definitely be the first to fight. He won't expect the other contestants to exhaust Lin Que's stamina."
Lin Hua had a close friend in Guannan School, and she turned her friend into an informant.
"Lin Que, you will be the first to fight. Defeat Gu Yue head-on and destroy Guannan's momentum. As long as we win the first round, our chances of winning will be more than 70%." Geezer Shi looked at Lin Que.
Lin Que was wearing the white martial arts suit of Songcheng University with black edges, looking clean and fresh. At this moment, facing Geezer Shi's arrangement, he still answered with no expression, "Okay."
"You can pretend to play guerrilla warfare and let Gu Yue purposely show an opening to win. Then you can seize this opportunity to attack him crazily with 24 Blizzard Strikes and completely suppress him. You will not give him any chance to recover and counterattack." Geezer Shi laid out the tactical arrangement.
Lin Que thought for a while and nodded to show his agreement.
"In this way, you won't have much strength left in the second round. At that time, if Ji Lan is the first to fight, you will have a chance to win. If Fei Sanli is the first to fight, you can exhaust his strength and irritate him. Then you will leave the second to fight, Chen Changhua." Geezer Shi turned his eyes to Chen Changhua, whose eyebrows were like flying insects. "Fei Sanli's level is about the same as yours. He has a vicious fighting style. Of course, a martial arts competition is a real fight. There are no restrictions in a real fight. There is nothing wrong with his fighting style. At most, he will be hated by the audience. You have to protect yourself first, in case you get hit by a sneak attack and lose all your previous efforts."
Chen Changhua thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will be careful."
"If there is no accident, you will have no problem defeating Fei Sanli, who has fought with Lin Que. As long as you don't get injured, you can change to a tough fighting style in the last round. Ji Lan is just of Amateur Second Pin. Give her enough pressure and she will probably panic. She may not be able to take advantage of your weakness of consuming too much energy." Geezer Shi continued to analyze and arrange.
After hearing his words, everyone suddenly felt that they had a high chance of winning.
"If you get injured in the fight with Fei Sanli, you can force Ji Lan to fight hand-to-hand and drain her energy. This will help our last fighter, Li Mao, gain an advantage." Geezer Shi looked at Li Mao again and said, "Although you are one Pin lower than Ji Lan, as long as Lin Que and Chen Changhua do what I asked, it won't be difficult for you to defeat her."
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Sun Jian is injured and Senior Brother Wu Dong quit the Martial Arts Club. Otherwise, we would have won." Guo Qing said regretfully.
Wu Dong felt that losing to Lou Cheng was too shameful and he was busy looking for a job. After his injury was healed, he simply quit the Martial Arts Club. For him, every time he saw Lou Cheng, it was like being slapped in the face.
Geezer Shi snorted and said, "Wu Dong? He is half disabled. Even if he comes back, he won't be a match for Li Mao. Li Mao, are you okay? "
Li Mao swallowed his saliva and listened to the roaring cheers outside. He nodded hard.
"That's it. Lin Hua and Guo Qing will be the substitutes." Geezer Shi signaled Lou Cheng to write down the list and handed it to the match supervisor.
Before a fighter entered the ring, if his old injury flared up, the substitutes could play a role. But if the fighter had entered the ring, even if he fainted before the fight, he could only be considered as a loser and could not be replaced.
Lou Cheng quickly wrote down the list arranged by Geezer Shi and handed it to the match supervisor by the door.
The moment the supervisor took the paper and stepped out of the door, there was a sudden silence outside for a few seconds. Then came the roaring cheers,
"Songcheng University, come on!"
"Lin Que, come on!"
"Lin Que, Lin Que!"
Such cheers hit Lou Cheng's heart like an electric current. He wanted to stand in the center of the ring and accept the crazy and surging cheers and attention.
"Next year at this time …" He clenched his fists quietly.
Hearing the cheers and shouts, both locker rooms were silent for a while.
"Songcheng University's martial arts atmosphere is so good. No wonder it's a well-known martial arts school." In the Guannan School side, the bald Fei Sanli was a little shocked.
Sitting on the metal bench, Gu Yue slowly put on his wristband and suddenly stood up. His tall and strong body brought a strong pressure to the surrounding people.
"A well-known martial arts school? Ten years ago, you could say so. But now, a bunch of Tom, Dick, and Harry can't compare with our Guannan School. "Gu Yue moved his neck left and right and looked at his father, Gu Zhen.
"Come on." Gu Zhen and Gu Yue seemed to be made from the same mold. They both had high noses and deep eyes, which made them look like mixed-bloods. But one had gray hair, while the other had erect hair.
Gu Yue rubbed his hands and walked to the door.
"Come on!"
"Come on!" Fei Sanli, Ji Lan, and other members of the Martial Arts Club stood up at the same time. It was a spectacular scene before a battle.
…
In the Songcheng University side, Lou Cheng stood by the door and looked at the seats full of spectators. He couldn't find Yan Zheke leading the cheers. Looking back, he found Lin Que put the black thermos cup aside and stood up slowly.
"Lin Que! Lin Que! "
Hearing the cheers, Chen Changhua was stunned for a moment.
When he first joined the Martial Arts Club, who didn't want to be in the limelight in front of the whole school and receive their adoration and love? Who didn't want to defeat strong opponents and win glory for the Martial Arts Club?
When he was a freshman, he could only do odd jobs and envied his senior brothers and sisters enjoying the cheers.
When he was a sophomore, he finally became the main force and represented the Songcheng University Martial Arts Club in two knockout matches and three group matches. "Chen Changhua!" Cheers. That was a glorious moment that he would never forget in his life. But year after year of failure, the enthusiasm of his classmates was exhausted. The Martial Arts Club became less popular, and he lost the confidence to defeat strong opponents. He began to degenerate and only wanted to maintain his position.
When he was a junior, he lost the second knockout match. The audience was sparse and couldn't suppress the cheers of his opponents. He couldn't hear the cheers for "Chen Changhua" anymore.
Today, when he was about to say goodbye to Songcheng University, such a scene appeared again. It was like yesterday, but the name was "Lin Que" this time.
"Lin Que!" He suddenly shouted at Lin Que, who was walking to the door.
Lin Que stopped and looked back indifferently. Lou Cheng and the others suddenly felt nervous, fearing that there would be another conflict.
Chen Changhua stood up and walked to Lin Que. He reached out his right hand and took a deep breath.
"Come on!"
Lin Que was stunned. Lou Cheng and the others were also stunned.
After a few seconds, Lin Que's expression didn't change, but he reached out his right hand and shook Chen Changhua's hand like a high-five.
They shook hands tightly.
Turning around, the members of the Martial Arts Club walked out of the locker room. Outside the locker room was a huge stadium with deafening shouts. There was a black mass of heads on both sides of the stadium. There was also a stone staircase leading up to the arena.
This was the road of glory, the road of glory!
