When the match was about to start, Geezer Shi clapped his hands in the visiting team's locker room to wake up the members who were resting with their eyes closed.
"It's almost time. Get up and get ready. When we play Shanbei, we have to extort some money from the stingy school. We have to go there one day earlier. We can't be so tired again."
The Martial Arts Club still had some funds left, but it was rare to ask for money openly. Geezer Shi certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity, especially since he could stimulate the principal and find an excuse to drink with him.
Starting from the group stage, Songcheng, which didn't perform well last year, would play away games all the time, even if it was the first versus the second in the quarterfinals. This made Li Liantong, Zong Yanru and other students feel very regretful because they couldn't witness the victory in the Songcheng University Martial Arts Club and cheer for them together.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke were full of motivation when they chatted in secret. They wanted to fight for more home games next year.
"Coach Shi, I'm afraid the school will give us money to stay in the guest house." Cai Zongming moved his body and talked nonsense.
"How dare they!" Geezer Shi scolded with a smile. "Are they trying to dismiss a beggar? Either they don't give us money, or they should be more straightforward. "
Speaking of this, Li Xiaowen opened the door and smiled gently. "Coach Shi, the supervisor is asking for the match list."
"Isn't it simple?" Geezer Shi looked around at Lou Cheng and the others. "We can't fail at such an easy task, right? Lou Cheng and Lin Que will play together today. "
Hearing this, Lou Cheng couldn't help but look at Lin Que, only to see his brother-in-law was also looking at him. When their eyes met, they felt the eagerness of each other.
This was the first time that the two leading members of the Martial Arts Club would play together this semester!
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke looked at each other and smiled. They had a tacit understanding. They had been sure of this for a long time. Li Mao, Lin Hua and the other members were relieved and became more certain.
They were afraid that Coach Shi would be so capricious that he had to train the substitutes at this time and only send one leading member.
"But." Geezer Shi suddenly changed the topic. "Shannan is not that great of an opponent. We still need to accumulate actual combat experience as much as possible. In this case, brat, you'll be the last. Otherwise, it'll be boring for others to just watch."
His words made the crowd burst into laughter. They were all deeply impressed by Lou Cheng's abnormal physical strength.
"Yes, Master." Lou Cheng smiled and answered in a light tone.
Now that he had formally become Geezer Shi's disciple, he could openly call him Geezer Shi.
"As for the other one, we'll follow the principle of taking turns to fight. Sun Jian, you'll take the lead." Without hesitation, Shi Jianguo casually chose the most senior member of the Martial Arts Club.
With Lin Que and Lou Cheng behind him, Sun Jian had no qualms about being the vanguard.
"This time, I'm not afraid of not having a chance to go on stage!"
Puff! Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh as he turned his head. This was the joke everyone used to make fun of Senior Brother Sun Jian during the preliminaries in the first half of the year. He actually still remembered it!
Yan Zheke also covered her mouth and giggled. She winked at her boyfriend, hinting that this was all his fault!
She was in high spirits because even if she was in good condition, it seemed that she would not have the chance to compete today.
Beside them, Li Xiaowen quickly recorded the list and order of the main force. "Sun Jian, Lin Que, Lou Cheng."
When the laughter stopped, Geezer Shi waved his hand carelessly. "The substitutes will follow the old rules. Li Mao, Cai Zongming, Lin Hua."
After the announcement, he looked at He Zi and Wang Dali. "You may not have a chance to fight in the next two semesters. Just follow the others and broaden your horizons. Put more energy into the individual Ranking Event."
"Yes, Coach Shi!" The two freshmen were still interested in the novelty and had a sense of honor, so they answered with vigor.
Of course, He Zi's current interest was in her identity as a frontline cat reporter.
After the main force and the substitutes were confirmed, Li Xiaowen turned around and walked out to submit the list.
As the door of the locker room opened and closed, Lou Cheng saw that it was full of students outside, with only a few empty seats.
"The martial arts atmosphere in Shannan is really good …" He praised in his heart, thinking of the taxi driver's daughter.
She was definitely among the thousands of students, unremarkable and ordinary. However, it was precisely because of the accumulation of these unremarkable and ordinary spectators that he was able to create an atmosphere that moved him and made martial artists hot-blooded.
"Let's go." After waiting for a while, Geezer Shi waved his hand and coughed twice.
With a creak, the door opened. The picture of Shannan University's martial arts arena was reflected in the eyes of Lou Cheng, Yan Zheke, and the others.
They raised huge banners with their common thoughts written on them.
"Together through thick and thin!"
Win or lose, we'll stand together through thick and thin!
Just as the people of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club walked out, one of the stands suddenly erupted with tsunami-like shouts.
"Shannan University!"
The other side of the stands immediately responded.
"Never admit defeat!"
The sound waves were deafening and the momentum was astonishing. In such an environment, martial artists with a slightly weaker mentality would have their will shaken, and it would be difficult for them to exert their full strength.
Unfortunately, most of the members of the Martial Arts Club were old foxes. They had seen Yimo's hellish home ground, so they were not frightened by this kind of friendly demonstration.
After a wave of shouts, the referee stepped into the ring, and the broadcast announced the first match in real time:
"Sun Jian of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club."
"Shannan University Martial Arts Club …"
The announcer paused for a moment to give the audience time to react. Then he shouted at the top of his voice,
"Lin Xiaozhi!"
"Lin Xiaozhi!" The students responded with the greatest enthusiasm and excitement. This made them look like they had the upper hand, and not the home team that everyone thought had little hope of winning.
"Lin Xiaozhi …" Lou Cheng murmured thoughtfully.
In his and Ke's opinion, apart from supernatural ability, Lin Xiaozhi was probably stronger than Mu Yu in terms of martial arts. There was a great chance that she would enter the Dan stage next year.
"I always feel that senior brother Sun's luck is not very good …" Yan Zheke whispered in his ear, pursing her lips and laughing.
"You can't say that … Seeing the full power of a top Professional Ninth Pin will be very helpful for him to get the professional certificate." Lou Cheng said seriously and then joked, "At least he didn't meet Mu Yu directly, right?"
Sun Jian didn't hear their discussion. He bumped his fists one by one and strode to the arena with his head held high. Standing on the right side of the referee, he saw Lin Xiaozhi stopping in front of the stone steps. She took off the Buddhist prayer beads, small crosses, and Taoist amulets one by one and handed them to the match supervisor.
"She really lives up to her reputation …" Sun Jian exclaimed. Then he opened his eyes wide because Lin Xiaozhi wasn't done yet!
She took out a Tantric Dharma bell from her pocket, rolled up her trousers, untied the red string with strange characters written on it, and took out a lucky star from her hair …
"Damn, how many things did she hide … Is this necessary? Is she a metaphysical martial artist?" Sun Jian thought, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
After a while, Lin Xiaozhi finally finished. Before entering the arena, she specifically reminded the match supervisor, "Senior, don't lose it. I have a feeling that our captain is going to make a big move tonight! I don't want to be an unlucky kid … "
After nagging, she finally came to Sun Jian and apologized with a sincere smile.
The corner of the referee's mouth twitched and he announced the start of the conversation.
"Let me ask you, do these things work?" Sun Jian couldn't hide his curiosity and asked.
He didn't want to provoke her with words. He had to maintain his composure in front of a girl!
Lin Xiaozhi nodded sincerely.
"They work!"
"I tested it with my flesh. When I wasn't wearing these, my captain's counterattack would randomly hit me seven or eight times out of ten. Now, it's only four times out of ten."
"I used to believe in science, but now I really believe in this!"
"Why do I hear an unbearable past?" Sun Jian looked at the other party sympathetically and pondered for a moment before saying.
Lin Xiaozhi opened her mouth as if she wanted to talk about her past sufferings, but in the end, she only said,
"Sigh …"
Sun Jian didn't say anything more to avoid being affected by bad luck. Lin Xiaozhi seized the time to get used to the situation without the amulets.
In the quiet atmosphere, the referee raised his right hand and started the focus of the match.
"Begin!"
Lin Xiaozhi arched her back and the muscles on the soles of her feet stretched and bounced. She shot out like a beautiful and dangerous cheetah. She was so fast that Sun Jian couldn't react in time.
However, Sun Jian didn't retreat. Instead, he moved forward. Most of the audience was stunned. He rushed toward his terrifying opponent as if he wanted to fight head-on.
Seeing that they were about to meet, he stomped on the ground with his right foot and used a strange technique to change the direction of his body like a catapult. He strangely circled to Lin Xiaozhi's side.
Catapult Body Movement of modern Xingyi!
Bam! Sun Jian straightened his knees and waist, swung his shoulders and arms, and hit the best Forward Punch in a while. He tried his best to gain the upper hand and didn't give his strong opponent a chance to catch her breath.
Lin Xiaozhi suddenly bounced her spine and forcibly changed her center of gravity. She changed her position and stabilized her body.
She shook her left arm and swung it in the opposite direction. It was heavy and powerful.
Bam!
With a loud bang, Sun Jian took a step back and removed part of the force. He borrowed part of the force and jumped forward. Half-step Crushing Punch!
"Brutal Blizzard" came with a roar!
Facing this, Lin Xiaozhi didn't change her expression. She suddenly took a deep breath, her face turned red, and her temples bulged. Then she swung her body and hit the powerful modern Blast Punch.
Bam!
Her fist trembled and swayed in the air as if it was affected by the wind.
Bam! Their fists hit each other with a roar. Sun Jian's vision blurred and he felt a strong shock wave sweep over his whole body.
His qi and blood were rolling, his internal organs were uncomfortable, his muscles, tendons, and bones were trembling, and he couldn't exert force.
Bam! Lin Xiaozhi seized the opportunity and stepped forward. Her eagle claw reached out and stopped in front of Sun Jian's throat.
"Round one, Lin Xiaozhi wins!" The referee announced loudly.
"Tremor Punch?" Yan Zheke straightened her back and muttered to herself. She subconsciously glanced at her boyfriend beside her.
Lou Cheng nodded to her, indicating that it was true.
Lin Xiaozhi's modern Blast Punch had developed the Tremor Force!
This was something new that she hadn't shown before!
While Li Mao and the others were still in shock, Lin Que stood up with an expressionless face and tore off his overcoat!
