It was late at dawn on the first day of the New Year. Lou Cheng finished his training and ate the longevity noodles cooked by his mother. Then he carried his luggage and the original-proof wine. He walked out of the house in the dark, humming the melody of "You're going to marry me today".
He didn't have time to browse the Internet until he got on the train to the airport and replied to Yan Zheke's message.
When he entered the forum, he saw a new post from "Lou Cheng's Girlfriend".
Yan Zheke posted last night,
"Happy New Year to all of you!"
"Sofa, let's have fun together!" "Brahman" replied with a bouncing emoji.
"Wonton Seller" replied "Glutinous Rice Ball", "Good New Year to all of you! I wish myself a smooth college entrance examination and look forward to our reunion in the summer vacation!"
"So annoying! I was squeezed into the sewer while I was eating snacks! " "Eternal Nightfall" Yan Xiaoling knew that Yan Zheke was going to post, but she still missed it. "Well, let's rewind. Happy New Year to all of you! Happy birthday to Lou Cheng!"
"Haha, we can't call him a 19-year-old Sixth Pin anymore. We have to call him a 20-year-old Sixth Pin." "Unparalleled Dragon King" laughed.
"I'm late, so I won't say Happy New Year to all of you. I wish all of you good health and vigor. May you have a baby soon!" "Okamoto's Fan" didn't change his attitude.
…
Looking at everyone's joking and blessings, Lou Cheng's mood was like the sky outside, gradually brightening up as a warm sun rose.
No matter where he went, there was always a group of people he didn't know supporting him. This feeling was very, very good.
He arrived at Shanggao Airport in Wuyue Province at noon and saw his Senior Sister Shi Yuejian in the arrival hall.
Shi Yuejian was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses with no degrees. She waved her hand and said softly but far away,
"Why did you bring wine to your master again?"
"I'm afraid he won't let me in if I don't bring wine." Lou Cheng made a joke.
Shi Yuejian shook her head helplessly. "You have to watch him and control the amount he drinks."
Lou Cheng smiled bitterly. "Senior Sister, do you think he'll listen to me?"
"If you nag him more, he will listen to you." Shi Yue laughed and began to teach him the "True Scripture".
"That's the kind of attitude he has for his daughter. Will he beat me up if I'm like that?" Lou Cheng said self-deprecatingly.
"Well, sorry to trouble you." Shi Yue smiled, turned around, and led Lou Cheng to the parking lot where her sedan car was parked.
Geezer Shi, who was sitting in the back row, poked his head out. His eyes lit up as he said, "Brat, you're getting more and more mature. Come, come, come to me."
"Dad, don't drink so much. You've been coughing so badly recently!" Shi Yuejian nagged.
"Okay, okay, okay. Just one bite at a time." Geezer Shi rubbed his temples and gave in.
After getting in the car, Shi Yuejian pointed to the man in his thirties in the driver's seat and said, "Your brother-in-law, Wu Huikang."
"Hello, brother-in-law." Lou Cheng greeted him with a smile.
His brother-in-law was not a disciple of the Ice God Sect. He was a professional manager, but he also practiced martial arts. A few years ago, he finally reached the Dan stage. Currently, he was in charge of part of the Ice God Sect's industry on behalf of his master.
Wu Huikang was tall and had short hair. He looked smart and gentle. As he started the car, he smiled and said, "Hello, Little Junior Brother. Your Senior Sister has been talking about you for the past six months. She always says that my Little Junior Brother is so powerful and has so much potential. I'm so jealous of you."
"I'm not exaggerating!" Shi Yuejian protested.
"You, don't spoil your Junior Brother with your praises." Geezer Shi agreed with his son-in-law and said, "This brat will become arrogant and complacent if we don't teach him a lesson from time to time."
Then he looked at Lou Cheng and said, "I've helped you get the compensation for the previous incident. The Internal Explosion Punch of the Fire Sect, which is a simplified version of physical invulnerability. I'll give it to you later. I'll also teach you three moves of the Ice Sect this time, North Wind, Polar, and Frost."
"Okay." Lou Cheng was invigorated.
Geezer Shi glanced at him and said, "I could have asked for more, like the Explosive Punch. But you don't have a good foundation, so you have to practice carefully. You can't be greedy. Hmph, my Thunder Roar Zen is famous. How many Dan Stage and Inhuman experts were killed by it? Look at you now, how long has it been since you used it in a battle? It's because you don't master it well enough! "
"Yes, Master." After being reminded, Lou Cheng also felt that he had neglected something in his practice.
Although it was not like a monkey moving corn, it was close enough.
Shi Yuejian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was listening quietly. Then she interrupted, "Internal Explosion Punch? Junior Brother, you have to be careful. Try not to use it when you practice. The core moves of the Fire Sect are known for their violence, which is completely different from our Ice Sect. Once Internal Explosion Punch is used, the opponent will definitely suffer internal injuries. Even if they are close to the Inhuman level, they can't take three punches like this. I mean, after three punches, they will die. "
Then she smiled and said, "When you reach the Inhuman level, you can come and practice with me. The saber techniques of the Ice Sect are also superb."
"What saber practice? Isn't it troublesome to bring them here and there? Isn't it troublesome to destroy them after a few rounds? The most powerful and reliable thing for a martial artist is his own fist and body. "Geezer Shi said disdainfully.
Lou Cheng then remembered his Senior Sister's nickname, "Black and White Magical Saber" Shi Yuejian!
The four of them talked and laughed as the car sped out of the city and onto the winding mountain road. They arrived at the Ice God Sect halfway up the Yanbing Mountain.
Compared to the last time Lou Cheng was here, this place was much livelier. Finally, it looked like a big sect. Of course, it would only last for two or three days.
When they walked along the road and entered the sect, all the disciples stood respectfully when they saw Geezer Shi. Some called him Martial Uncle, and some called him Martial Granduncle. Their expressions were full of fear and admiration.
— — The incident of "White Heaven and Earth" last time had been spread by the elders and disciples with exaggerated details. Geezer Shi had really become an immortal in the hearts of most of the juniors.
Ahem! Geezer Shi cleared his throat and walked more arrogantly. It seemed that he was enjoying this kind of treatment very much.
Lou Cheng held back his laughter and didn't say anything.
The older his master was, the more similar his mentality was to his juniors.
They walked all the way to the Ice God Palace. Sect Leader He Yi had been waiting for them with a group of elders and direct disciples.
"Hello, Martial Granduncle!"
"Hello, Seventh Martial Uncle!"
"Hello, Young Martial Uncle!"
In the greetings, Zhu Tai, Lei Fang, and the others no longer called Lou Cheng reluctantly.
After Lou Cheng followed his master to worship the Ancestral Master, burned incense, and went to the Xuefeng Palace with everyone to take a seat, Mo Jingting, who was dressed very plainly, came to him and whispered,
"After watching the fight between you and Peng Leyun, Senior Brother Zhu and Junior Brother Lei are convinced by you. When they met recently, the focus of their discussion was the National University Martial Arts Competition in April. They were talking about Peng Leyun from Shangqing, Ren Li from Kongtong, Ann Chaoyang and Zhen Huansheng from Xinghai, and you, Young Martial Uncle from Wuyue Club and Ice God Sect. Who will take the lead?"
"I'm looking forward to it. Five geniuses of Sixth Pin under the age of 22, and maybe even Inhuman … This is probably the most anticipated competition besides the top professional competitions and the five major title competitions."
After hearing Mo Jingting's words, Lou Cheng was also looking forward to it. He even felt his blood boiling.
In April, he would fight with Peng Leyun, Ren Li, Ann Chaoyang, Zhen Huansheng, and Li Xiaoyuan, who represented different big forces, to fight for the only championship!
"They even bet a lot of money on it," Mo Jingting added.
"It sounds like you're in it too?" Lou Cheng didn't ask who they favored. If it were him, he would also bet on Peng Leyun or Ren Li.
"How dare I? Young Martial Uncle, you, Peng Leyun, and Ren Li are all 'monsters'. How can a normal person like me tell the difference between 'monsters'? "Mo Jingting chuckled." But I still bet 100,000 yuan on you, Young Martial Uncle. After all, we're on the side of reason! "
"It's not right to help people? It's not right to say that I can't win. "Lou Cheng laughed.
"…" Mo Jingting was speechless for a moment. After a while, she smiled sweetly. "Young Martial Uncle, you're so humorous. Why didn't you talk to me like this before?"
"Well, you sincerely treat me as your Young Martial Uncle. Of course I'm humorous." Lou Cheng put his hands in his pockets and smiled leisurely.
Mo Jingting was silent for a while. Then she sighed.
"Young Martial Uncle, are you really only 19 years old?"
"I'm 20. Thank you!" While speaking, Lou Cheng's mind had drifted to April, to the National University Martial Arts Competition.
Who will be the hero when they are young?
While yearning and looking forward to it, Lou Cheng didn't forget that his foundation was not solid enough. If he wanted to compete with Peng Leyun and the others, he still needed to go a long way.
…
While Lou Cheng was worshiping the ancestors in the Ice God Sect, the Lou family also welcomed guests.
In Lening City, there was a custom of not visiting relatives on the first day of the New Year, so Lou Zhilin and his son came to Xiushan to visit.
Lou Debang was very happy about this. He invited the whole family of his eldest son, Lou Zhisheng, and youngest daughter, Lou Zhixian, and set up a big table.
As soon as Erzi entered the door, he looked left and right, but when the banquet started, he still didn't see Lou Cheng. He suddenly had doubts in his heart, so he deliberately changed the topic. "Our generation should have the character 'Yuan', but many people don't care about this."
"Yes, you're called Yuanchang, and he's Yuanwei. Both of you are in the Yuan generation," Lou Debang said with a smile. "We don't care about it when it comes to Cheng."
"In that case, should Cheng be called Lou Yuancheng?" Lou Yuanwei said with interest.
Ma Xi interrupted, "No, it's more appropriate to call him Lou Yuanba!"
This made everyone laugh. Erzi and Lou Yuanchang seized the opportunity and asked, "Cheng? He's not here, right? "
"He went to Wuyue to pay a New Year's visit to his master and burn incense for his ancestors," Qi Fang answered proudly.
"He went to Wuyue …" Erzi looked at his father and felt disappointed.
…
After the banquet at noon, Geezer Shi found Lou Cheng and smiled.
"Your Martial Uncle Sect Leader asked if you want to take a task."
"What task?" Lou Cheng asked carefully.
"Go to Haixi Sect, Dinghai Sect, and Hanchi Sect to pay a New Year's visit on behalf of the Ice God Sect." Geezer Shi smiled kindly.
