As expected of Peng Leyun. When Lou Cheng finally saw the light of victory, he was instantly turned around and ushered in the arrival of failure.
Strong depression filled Lou Cheng's heart. If he had not held on to hope, he would not be so upset and self-reproach now. How pure the joy was just now was how painful the pain was now.
More than four months of patience, more than four months of bitter training, more than four months of anticipation, in the end, all came to naught and turned into flowing water.
What a joke. I had promised Ke that I would teach Peng Leyun an unforgettable lesson together with Lin Que. I wanted to suppress his willpower, affect his confidence in winning, and slow down his speed of breaking through to the Inhuman stage. I wanted to preserve my hope for next year's finals. But now, I had been slapped in the face. I didn't have the face to face my parents anymore.
Perhaps it was fortunate that I was a low-key person and had only said such words in front of Ke. Otherwise, who knew how much ridicule and sarcasm would have come from all directions.
If, if I had been the first to fight, defeated Fang Zhirong with the advantage of the wrong position, and challenged Peng Leyun in peak condition, my brother-in-law would have had a chance to defeat this monster, right?
If I had not been so anxious just now, not been scared by Peng Leyun's ease, not hurried to use the variant version of Severe Warning, and not relied on my abnormal physical strength and the replenishment of Jindan to grind for a while, would things have been different?
…
When a person encountered a setback, it was hard to restrain himself from thinking that if he had made a different choice at that time, or if he had done better in some details, the result would have been different. Lou Cheng was no exception. But the more he thought about it, the more upset and painful he felt, and even a little bit angry at himself.
Taking a breath, he visualized the Ice Mirror and put away all his thoughts. Lou Cheng nodded to Peng Leyun, who was gasping for breath, and turned around, walking towards the stone steps. His muscles were still trembling, his internal organs were extremely uncomfortable, and there was a salty taste of rust in his throat, as if he was preparing to spit out blood.
Not only did he lose, but he also suffered a serious internal injury … Lou Cheng sighed secretly and shook his head bitterly.
At this moment, the Shanbei students in the stands suddenly started to applaud, from sparse to enthusiastic, from noisy to orderly, for the wonderful fight just now, and also for the admirable opponent Lou Cheng.
You walked out of the arena with your head held high!
As the applause echoed, Yan Xiaoling suddenly burst into tears. She was moved by everyone's recognition of Lou Cheng, but she was also sad about the previous loss. Lou Cheng had played so well, so why did they let him lose?
The cruelty of a match was that most of the time, and in this match, the winner was Peng Leyun.
Listening to his opponent's applause, Lou Cheng exhaled a sigh of relief, but the depression and pain in his heart................... a.......
Halfway through their journey, they met Li Mao. He forced a smile, extended his right hand, and high-fived Li Mao.
..............
... . really!...
"Maybe he's already at his limit and wants me to take advantage of him? ............. in............ to.........
....................
"Do your best!" Lou Cheng didn't say much. He nodded and walked past Li Mao to the seats. Yan Zheke, dressed in white, walked up to him.
The girl's eyes were a little red. She bit her lower lip and said firmly,
"You fought very well!"
Even if you lost, I'm proud of you!
If it were others, Lou Cheng wouldn't be in the mood to respond. But he couldn't treat Coach Yan like that. He smiled bitterly and said,
"I hope next time you can say 'You fought very well' or 'You are so good' …"
"You fought very well" meant that you lost the battle but made a respectable performance. "You fought very well" meant that you won the match to your heart's content.
"Yes!" Yan Zheke nodded hard.
She knew that Lou Cheng didn't want to hear comforting words, so she reached out and held his palm, silently trying to pass her warmth to him.
If someone shared the pain, would it be less painful? Yan Zheke supported Lou Cheng to sit down, lost in thought.
…
Listening to the applause from the computer, Qu Hui, who was wearing a tuxedo and a top hat, turned pale. He was no longer in high spirits at the beginning.
Are these two guys still f * cking human?
If it was Peng Leyun, I could accept it. He had been strong for more than two years. It was not unacceptable that he became a monster who was close to the Inhuman level. Anyway, I was used to losing to him. I didn't even think about winning against Shanbei.
However, it had only been four months. How did Lou Cheng become so powerful that people could only look up at him? How did he suddenly become so strong? I thought he had a chance to defeat me.
How can I fight him? How can I fight next week?
Qu Hui turned his head and looked at Luo Haize, Yin Xiangxi and the other team members. He saw that they were all scared. Some were dull, some were confused, and some were trembling.
The gap is so big that I don't want to catch up … Qu Hui looked back painfully and saw the close-up of Lou Cheng. He noticed that something was wrong with him. He was suddenly happy and blurted out,
"Lou Cheng is injured!"
And it was not the kind of injury that could be healed quickly!
I knew very well how terrible Peng Leyun's Thunder Force combined with a simplified physical invulnerability move was. I had been hit by it without any protection and had to recuperate for nearly two months. Lou Cheng's physical quality was much better than mine. But Peng Leyun was not what he used to be. Without half a month's rest, Lou Cheng would not be able to recover!
"Lou Cheng is injured?" Luo Haize, Yin Xiangxi and the others were startled, and asked with hidden joy.
"Yes! Look at his current state. Pay attention to the replay later. See if he was hit directly by Peng Leyun's Thunder Seal. " Qu Hui felt lucky and ecstatic as if he had just escaped from death. "And Lin Que was also hit by Dark Poison Force. He probably won't be able to fight in his best state next week. Haha, I don't know what they are thinking. They clearly know that there is a big gap between them and Shanbei. Why do they still fight so hard? Isn't it convenient for us? "
"I think we should pay tribute to their martial arts spirit and then enjoy this gift!"
In the midst of the ridicule, the Martial Arts Club of Sanjiang College confirmed Lou Cheng's situation through the slow-motion replay. They immediately released their accumulated depression and fear and became excited again.
Our chance has come!
Thank Lou Cheng and Lin Que for their martial arts spirit and hard work!
…
In the office of the Martial Arts Club of Capital College, Chen Diguo, Shen You, Jiang Kongchan and the others were staring at the projection blankly, forgetting to speak and forgetting other things. The atmosphere was strangely quiet.
For a moment, they thought Peng Leyun would lose. But unexpectedly, Lou Cheng, who had fought to such an extent, still failed to defeat the God's favored one.
After dozens of seconds, Chen Diguo broke the silence with a wry smile. "Xiao Li, what level do you think Peng Leyun has reached?"
Ren Li pondered and answered,
"He is one step away from the Inhuman stage."
One step away from the Inhuman stage … Shen You, Jiang Kongchan and the others chewed on these words, feeling lost and awed.
Ren Li's naturally hanging hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
…
In front of the computer screen, "Brahman" let go of her hands that were pulling her braid, letting a few crystal clear teardrops slide down her face and fall to the floor.
She clicked open the forum and posted a post.
"Wuwuwu! Why, why, why, why, he fought so well, why did you let him lose? "
"Rub your head, it's good enough for him to fight like this, much better than I expected. I thought Lou Cheng would at most be at the level of a strong seventh, so I was afraid that he would lose to Peng Leyun, which would affect his confidence." "Unparalleled Dragon King" comforted "Brahman".
"55555, I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen, I just want him to win! My heart aches when I see him like this! "" Brahman "sent a" covering ears and shaking head "emoji.
"Nie Qiqi" also sent a "crying face" emoji. "I know it's good enough for him to fight with Peng Leyun like this, no, it's very good, but I can't help but feel sad, wuwuwu."
"You girls, why are you all so fragile? Do you need the uncle to comfort you? You don't care about your heart, but your kidneys! " "Okamoto's Fan" joked and then sighed. "I won't say anymore, I can't make it up anymore, I'm going to smoke a cigarette to calm down."
"Hey, think about the gap between Lou Cheng and Peng Leyun half a year ago, and look at the gap now, you should be able to let it go, right?" "Road to the Arena" said.
"Damn, Lou Cheng lost to Peng Leyun, who is at least a level stronger than him, and you are all so sad. When I was defeated by him, who had no rank, should I have jumped off a building?"
"Fortunately, Lou Cheng has been advancing by leaps and bounds, so losing to him has become an interesting topic, not a disgrace …"
At this time, "Many Cats" suddenly replied, "We know rationally that you are right, but we still cry out loud …"
…
In the live broadcast room of the video website, the guest commentator Zhang Hezheng sighed with emotion.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! This match makes me want to move my old arms and legs. Lou Cheng is strong, Peng Leyun is stronger, the younger generation will surpass us in time! "
The host echoed, "Yeah, I didn't expect Lou Cheng to push Peng Leyun to this point. It seems that he is reaching his limit!"
"Reaching his limit? No, Peng Leyun is just a little overloaded for a short time, but it doesn't mean that he has no strength to fight anymore. Hey, if Lou Cheng hadn't fought hard at the end, maybe we wouldn't have seen him in his overloaded state. " Zhang He couldn't help but sigh. "At the stage where you're advancing by leaps and bounds, at the age where you're at your most high-spirited, it's very sad and regrettable to meet such an opponent who can firmly suppress you."
"You mean Peng Leyun is stronger than what he showed just now?" The host was stunned.
Zhang Hezheng nodded slightly and said, "He is enjoying the match, not trying to win. I don't need to say more about the difference between the two, right?"
"In other words, Peng Leyun is the strongest at the last moment?" The host suddenly realized and asked.
"You can say that." Zhang Hezheng sighed.
Is this the God's favored son who aims to reach physical invulnerability?
When I was at the peak of Sixth Pin, I was not so strong!
While they were talking, the bullet screen refreshed one by one. It seemed that no one was paying attention to the battle between Li Mao and Peng Leyun.
"I have to say that Lou Cheng is really strong. He can fight with Peng Leyun to this extent after only practicing martial arts for more than a year!"
"I'm on my knees watching …"
"He is so tough that no one has a friend!"
"He is indeed a candidate for the God's favored son, and he is more promising than others!"
…
After many positive affirmations of Lou Cheng, someone looked into the future and said, "I can't imagine what level Lou Cheng will reach in half a year or a year. Will he be able to surpass Peng Leyun?"
This sentence suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest and attracted a group of people to attack.
"Surpass Le Zai? Hahaha, what a joke! As if Le Zai won't improve? He will enter the inhuman level soon! "
"How can a guy who relies on his supernatural ability and ancestral chromosomes be compared with Peng Leyun?"
"Didn't you listen to the commentary? Just now Le Zai didn't use his full strength at all. Well, he didn't use his full strength and he fell down! "
"Tsk tsk, if you have the ability to fight again, Peng Leyun just had a few moves with Lin Que. If it's a one-on-one battle, Lou Cheng will be beaten to a pulp."
"Are you done yet? I'm just speculating based on the facts. Lou Cheng has improved from an ordinary person to a fighter close to Professional Sixth Pin or even weaker than Professional Sixth Pin after practicing martial arts for one year and two months. Give him another half a year or a year, who knows how far he can go?"
"Haha, I'm not laughing at him. Such a large span of improvement never lasts too long, and the higher he goes, the more difficult it is. Lou Cheng's speed of improvement will inevitably slow down. If he can enter the inhuman level within a year, I will live broadcast eating sh * t!"
"Yes, Lou Cheng is very powerful and a genius, but if you want to compare with Peng Leyun, then I will answer you with a line from a comic. Trash, you are not good enough. Go to hell and eat sh * t!"
"I wonder if Lou Cheng will lose confidence after being beaten by Le Zai. Just now I found that he was desperate. And a fighter without confidence is a salted fish, and it is difficult for him to improve again!"
The argument on the Internet was very fierce. After the game, I wanted to see the bullet screen to see how they praised Lou Cheng's "Brahman".
So hateful!
I want to beat them!
I want to quarrel with them!
On the live arena, the battle between Li Mao and Peng Leyun had begun. The latter did not turn away directly and left the opportunity of actual combat to Xu Wannian. Instead, he gave the greatest respect to his opponent, adjusted his breath, took a stance, and let him attack.
This was the most hearty game Li Mao had ever played. "24 Blizzard Strikes" was one move after another. The more he fought, the fiercer and crazier he became. There was almost no stagnation and no pause.
Bang!
He threw the most powerful punch he had ever thrown since he started practicing martial arts. He felt an incomparable sense of comfort.
Peng Leyun swung his waist and abdomen and raised his arms to block accurately, not moving an inch.
Li Mao was about to attack again, but suddenly he felt that his body was empty and had no strength to continue.
Unconsciously, he had finished one round of "24 Blizzard Strikes"!
Looking at Peng Leyun, who was panting in front of him, Li Mao laughed at himself and said,
"Thank you."
Thank you for your help.
After that, he turned and walked out of the arena without waiting for the referee's announcement. He sighed slightly without regret or loss.
The referee raised his right hand and said,
"Round Four, Peng Leyun wins!"
"Shanbei University wins this game!"
In the home team's seats, Xu Wannian waved his fist happily, feeling that he had escaped a disaster and did not have to face the monster who could bounce back "Corvine Mouth". Fang Zhirong's eyes were gloomy and not very happy. He was brooding about his loss to Lin Que.
On the other side of Songcheng University, when Li Mao came back, they high-fived each other and returned to the locker room in silence.
Lou Cheng, who was holding Yan Zheke's hand, turned around subconsciously and looked at the arena. He saw Peng Leyun standing there, applauding to the crowd. The lights fell and covered him with a layer of golden brilliance.
Lou Cheng withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes and entered the locker room.
…
On the way back, the members of the Martial Arts Club were silent. Cai Zongming wanted to break the silence several times, but when the words came to his mouth, he was not in the mood to say them.
Mu Jinnian and Yan Xiaoling sat in the back row, looking at the silent Lin Que. They felt sorry for him and wanted to say something to comfort him, but in the end, they did not do so.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke snuggled up to each other. Smelling the familiar fragrance and feeling the warmth that made them relax, they calmed down a lot and slowly got over it.
"Look, many people on the Internet are praising you." Yan Zheke happened to read some comments on Weibo and saw the praise at the beginning. She quickly handed the phone to Lou Cheng with an expression that said, "Praise me."
Lou Cheng read the comments one by one. Seeing that everyone was praising his strength and admiring the brilliance of the previous matches, a smile gradually appeared on his face. Yan Zheke also moved her head closer to him and read the comments together with him. From time to time, she slightly raised her white and delicate chin, revealing a sense of pride.
But when Lou Cheng turned to the section where he compared himself with Peng Leyun, he found all kinds of ridicule, such as relying on supernatural ability and ancestral chromosomes, losing confidence after being beaten, and not enough, and a candidate is just a candidate.
His temples twitched and his heart was filled with anger. He wanted to prove something, wanted to argue about right and wrong, but sadly found that the loser had no excuse. Only victory could counterattack everything.
Yan Zheke bit her lips tightly, and her clear eyes were burning with anger, which made her look even brighter.
She suppressed her anger and did not want to infect her boyfriend with this emotion. She reached out her finger to stop the discussion and pretended to be rational.
"Cheng, don't care about them. Some people are just bad for the sake of being bad!"
"Okay." Lou Cheng wanted to turn around and comfort Coach Yan, but suddenly saw a long Weibo post from "All-knowing Man in Ganghood", a well-known martial arts influencer.
"This defeat has more advantages than disadvantages for Lou Cheng."
Huh? Why did he say that? Not only Lou Cheng, but also Yan Zheke was quite curious and quickly clicked to read.
"It is foreseeable that Lou Cheng will enter a period of slow improvement."
"Why do I say that? Everyone can see that every time Lou Cheng's strength rises, it is accompanied by the awakening of supernatural ability. "
"It is obvious that the awakening of supernatural ability will greatly improve the quality of the body. Of course, the premise is that there is no obstacle in the realm. That is to say, if one does not enter the Dan stage, the strength of the body will not change qualitatively even if the supernatural ability is awakened."
"Lou Cheng had the strength of a Quasi-Seventh Fighter when he just entered the Dan stage. He relied on his abnormal physical strength and the practice of the Frost Force in advance. He improved from a Quasi-Seventh Fighter to a Weak Sixth Fighter in a little more than four months because of the second awakening of the dual supernatural abilities of ice and fire and the" honeymoon period "when he formally entered the Dan stage. Now, this period has passed, and we all know that the awakening of supernatural ability is more difficult than the previous one. Lou Cheng will not have this kind of bonus in one or two years."
"In this way, it is foreseeable that the speed of improvement of his strength will slow down. By April next year, he can expect to improve from a Weak Sixth Fighter to an Ordinary Sixth Fighter after he has mastered more Ice Sect moves and related combat experience. The gap between him and Peng Leyun will be further widened."
"And this speed will accompany him for a long time. Whether he can enter the Inhuman Level without relying on the awakening of supernatural ability within two years will be the test of whether he can be considered a Heavenly Son of the age."
"This complete defeat came at the right time, so that he will not be arrogant. He can clearly understand the gap between himself and Peng Leyun and the fact that he may not be able to catch up in a few years. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"Maybe this is a wake-up call?"
This Weibo post seemed to be speaking from Lou Cheng's point of view, but the whole post was full of condescension and sinister thoughts that Lou Cheng relied on the awakening of supernatural ability to improve by leaps and bounds. In other words, it was implying that Lou Cheng was not as good as Peng Leyun and that he would have to get used to mediocrity and depression. Yan Zheke gritted her teeth and quietly clenched her fists.
"This person is talking nonsense. Cheng, don't pay attention to him!"
"Okay." Lou Cheng exhaled.
In fact, "All-knowing Man in Ganghood" was right about some things. The benefits of his rapid improvement were indeed running out. The awakening of supernatural ability was not something that could be considered at this stage. The changes to the body caused by the practice of Dan stage were getting weaker and weaker. It was entering the stage where it needed to be accumulated over time. Only the internal practice of the "Swordsman" Formula could be looked forward to.
Because of this, he became angrier and angrier about this comment because he could not refute it.
Looking at his expression, Yan Zheke pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
…
When they returned to the new campus of Songcheng University, the sky was already dark. They waved to each other and said goodbye in low spirits.
Mu Jinnian could not control her footsteps and followed Lin Que. Looking at his silent back, she kept thinking of comforting him.
"No, I know Lin Que won't want to be comforted …" She restrained herself and stayed two steps behind Lin Que to accompany him.
When they were approaching the 9th dormitory, Lin Que suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mu Jinnian.
"Do you have a pen and paper?"
"Ah?" Mu Jinnian was stunned.
"He, he is talking to me?"
"He is talking to me for the first time!"
"He knows I want an autograph?"
She came to her senses and hurriedly took off her backpack. She took out a pen and a sticky note and handed them to Lin Que.
Lin Que did not say anything and quickly wrote a line of words.
"Thank you for not comforting me."
"Thank you for not comforting me …" Mu Jinnian took back the sticky note and saw Lin Que turn around and walk into the dormitory. His eyes were painful, but his back was straight.
"I will always support you!" Mu Jinnian shouted, no longer caring about other people's opinions.
…
Lou Cheng was pulled to the lakeside by Yan Zheke. They passed through the woods and came to the deserted Western District.
"What are we doing here?" He could not help but ask.
"Follow me." Yan Zheke had never been here before. She only came here when she was "abducted" by Lou Cheng. But she noticed something around with her girl's special attention and sensitivity.
She took Lou Cheng to an unfinished building. She pointed up and said, "Let's go to the roof. I want to feel the breeze."
This building was planned to be the library of the new campus. It would replace the temporary one and become the largest library in the province and one of the best in the country.
"Okay." Lou Cheng understood that the girl wanted him to see the distance and feel the cool breeze. So he did not refuse.
Along the stairs, they walked slowly. After a long time, they finally came to the top and saw the scenery without guardrails.
Looking down from above, the Eastern District was brightly lit. The lake reflected the light. The scenery was so charming and refreshing. Lou Cheng's depression in his heart seemed to be relieved.
"Let's sit on the side." Yan Zheke suggested.
She was not afraid of heights at all.
Lou Cheng took the tissue and spread it on the edge. He sat down with the girl leaning against each other. They breathed in the cool breeze and looked at the open sky.
Suddenly, Yan Zheke looked ahead and said,
"Cheng, do you remember I sang for you?"
"Yes, you were cheering for me." Lou Cheng smiled.
Yan Zheke pursed her lips into a smile and said gently,
"Then I'll sing for you again."
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to answer, she faced the open sky and hummed softly,
"Running forward, facing the cold eyes and ridicule
How can you feel the vastness of life without suffering
Fate can't make us kneel and beg for mercy
Even if blood is spilled all over our arms. "
The girl's clear and melodious voice echoed in his ears. In front of him was a vast expanse of land that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was the Milky Way that flowed in the darkness. It was her black hair that fluttered in the wind. For a moment, Lou Cheng actually felt a little drunk. His emotions gradually emptied and his heart gained strength again.
Failure was not terrible. What was terrible was losing the will to fight and confidence.
Then keep running forward, facing the cold eyes and ridicule!
"Keep running, with the pride of a newborn
How can you see the brilliance of life without persevering to the end
Instead of lingering at death's door, why not burn heartily
One day it will sprout again! "
The song lingered in the air.
