For a moment, Hu Zheng had the illusion that Lou Cheng in front of him had expanded into a giant. His fist made a crisp sound, and the wind whistled as he came crashing down from above. His momentum was so ferocious that it felt as if a mountain was collapsing and burying everything.
Such power made Hu Zheng involuntarily want to dodge. He didn't dare to face it head-on, but he had already set up a defensive stance. It was obviously too late to retreat, and that would lead to a worse result. He could only grit his teeth and strengthen his belief. He slightly changed his blocking stance and crossed his arms outside his body.
Such a stance wouldn't be broken, but it would lose subsequent counterattacks and changes. It was the most stable and stupid choice. Hu Zheng couldn't think so far ahead.
Bam!
As the fist and arm collided, a muffled sound erupted and entered Hu Zheng's ears. At the same time, he felt a majestic force pressing down on his body. Although his crossed arms were not broken, it was hard to stop them from being pulled back. They were forcibly pressed against his body, sticking to his chest.
What a terrifying force! Hu Zheng was hit by his own arms that seemed to have transformed into a giant hammer. His ribs hurt, and his center of gravity swayed. His feet couldn't support him anymore, and his body fell backward.
In order to maintain his balance, he could only stagger backward and try his best to stabilize his center of gravity.
At this moment, Lou Cheng had already stepped closer. His body leaned to one side, and his left shoulder sank. He leaned forward and hit Hu Zheng's chest with a bang.
The momentum of an avalanche, unless it was stopped voluntarily, the "torrent" would roll endlessly.
Hu Zheng staggered and was hit so hard that he completely lost his balance. He flew backward and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Lou Cheng wins!" The referee announced loudly.
"I lost just like that?" Hu Zheng looked around blankly and found that he had fallen over the edge of the arena.
"I lost with just a punch and a lean?"
"How many seconds has it been?"
"Is that kind of strength really an amateur?"
On the nearby viewing platform, Liu Yinglong stared blankly in front of his fellow disciples, and his face was ghastly pale. After witnessing the might of Lou Cheng's strike earlier, he sorrowfully realized that even he might not be able to withstand such terrifying strength!
After his master Yu Haichao's analysis of yesterday's match, he was actually not convinced. He felt that he had lost the match without showing his true strength. It was as if he had fallen into a well-designed trap. The gap between the two of them was not as big as it seemed. Lou Cheng had only taken advantage of his talent in meditation, excellent coordination skills, and strong control of the center of gravity. He was not as good as Lou Cheng in other aspects, so his victory was only a fluke.
However, what he saw just now completely destroyed the remaining pride and self-consolation in his heart. He felt as if he had truly recognized the sorrow of reality.
I didn't use my full strength, and neither did Lou Cheng. If he had used that attack yesterday, it wouldn't have been as simple as a bone fracture!
Recognizing one's own weakness was not a simple matter, but it was also a cruel thing that one had to face.
The master next to him didn't say a word, and the surrounding junior brothers and sisters were all silent. The whole world seemed to have quieted down.
The man in the leather jacket was holding his phone, ready to record a video at the most intense moment of the match and enjoy it at home. However, just as he unlocked his phone and turned on the shooting function, the match was already over!
"Isn't, isn't this a copy of yesterday's match?" As a fan, he didn't understand the meaning of that attack as well as Liu Yinglong. He was just shocked that Lou Cheng had defeated Hu Zheng of Amateur Sixth Pin with one hit and one push. It was very similar to yesterday's match where Ye Youting defeated Guan Yan with one hit and one push. After getting the information yesterday, he returned to the central ring to watch the match.
Although Guan Yan was of Amateur Second Pin, much stronger than Hu Zheng, his blocking posture yesterday was both offensive and defensive, with follow-up counterattacks. It was not as extreme as Hu Zheng's crossing of arms, so it couldn't be simply compared.
After thinking it through, the man in the leather jacket put down his phone and clapped his hands, although Lou Cheng might not be able to hear it.
This match was really full of surprises!
"Uncle, why are you clapping?" The young couple next to him looked at him strangely. They were watching another match on the big screen.
Was there such a wonderful match worth clapping for?
The man in the leather jacket laughed and said, "Just now a student of no rank defeated an Amateur Sixth Pin with one hit and one push, just like yesterday's match where Ye Youting defeated Guan Yan in the central ring."
The match between Ye Youting and Guan Yan was the highlight of yesterday's match, and it was replayed on the big screen today. The shy girl of the young couple smiled shyly and said, "It sounds about the same, but it's actually different. There's such a big gap between ranks."
As a fan of martial arts, the man in the leather jacket understood the basic stances. He gestured and explained the difference between Guan Yan and Hu Zheng's defensive stances. In the end, he said, "Although there's still a gap, it's not too big. That student of no rank is not simple."
The young couple was interested. "What's his name? What's his number? Let's watch his matches tomorrow. Many of them are quite boring. "
"Lou Cheng. Lou as in building, Cheng as in success. Number 656." The man in the leather jacket was very helpful.
…
"Lou Cheng wins!"
When the referee's announcement came into his ears, Lou Cheng had already stood straight and stopped chasing. He only felt a burst of emptiness in his body and a warm mass in his Dantian flowed to the rest of his body, soothing his tiredness. The Jindan was running automatically.
The combination of Mega Avalanche and Lightning and Fire Stance made him feel tired, much more tired than yesterday's match. It seemed to be comparable to Lin Que's round of Brutal Blizzard.
"This kind of outburst is really a huge burden and consumption. If I were to rely on myself, I could only use two strikes at most …" Lou Cheng sighed to himself.
The joy of today's victory was not as good as yesterday's, but he was more confident, no longer feeling unreal and insecure. Through this battle, he was sure that he was no longer an amateur, and that yesterday's victory was not accidental.
"I can barely be considered an amateur master!"
Lou Cheng's tiredness was instantly relieved. With the joy of confirmation, he calmly walked out of the ring line and found the supervisor to take back his personal belongings.
Seeing this scene, Yu Haichao, the master of Baiyuan Martial Arts School, who had been calm all this time, also stood up.
"Master, what's wrong?" Liu Yinglong asked in astonishment.
Yu Haichao looked at the frightened disciples and sighed. "The combination of Mega Avalanche of the 24 Blizzard Strikes of the Ice Sect and Lightning and Fire Stance of the Thunder Sect, plus three minutes of adjustment and accumulation, it's not surprising that he has such power. What frightens me is that he didn't show the slightest sign of tiredness after such a strike!"
"This means that I can't tell how many times he can continuously make similar strikes. Even without three minutes of accumulation, at least seventy to eighty percent of the power remains. This is quite scary."
Liu Yinglong, Qin Zhilin and the other disciples looked at each other in astonishment. Their master's evaluation was so high!
"Master, what rank do you think he is?" Liu Yinglong asked subconsciously.
Yu Haichao chuckled. "You can't tell just by looking at a punch. Strength isn't the only thing that matters in martial arts, but he can't be weaker than an Amateur Third Pin fighter. You guys, look at him. If one or two of you can master 'Meditation' and learn the subsequent stances, your strength will at least improve a lot! Now that you've seen his strength, can you calm down? "
He took the opportunity to educate his disciples. Some still stances were not secret in the martial arts circle, but if one couldn't master Meditation, it wouldn't make much difference even if they practiced it.
"We understand!" Liu Yinglong, Qin Zhilin and the other disciples more or less understood.
"You guys watch more of his matches. Maybe you'll learn something else." Yu Haichao reminded them and walked down the stands with his hands behind his back. He left the martial arts club.
…
Lou Cheng took back his phone and immediately groped to the remote stands. While watching other martial arts matches through the big screen, he logged on QQ to report the good news to Yan Zheke.
When the Martial Arts Club participated in the district competition, Yan Zheke organized the cheerleading team and took care of the logistics, so she easily got his phone number. But SMS was outdated … and students preferred QQ to WeChat …
"Haha, I won! I won easily! Thanks to Coach Yan's guidance! " Lou Cheng expressed his joy with three exclamation marks and complimented Yan Zheke in a joking manner.
Yan Zheke seemed to have been waiting for the result. Her reply came quickly. "(Smile) Not bad, you're worth teaching. How did you win?"
She was always interested in the details of a match.
"I eliminated Liu Yinglong, so my opponent must have paid attention to this point. He would wonder if I could restrain the fighting style of Full Arm Boxing, so he would make targeted changes. In other words, he would first use a defensive parry." Lou Cheng explained in detail to share his achievement and please the girl. "Considering this point, I prepared to use the most ferocious attack at the beginning to see if I could break his stance and get the absolute upper hand, just like the match I told you about yesterday."
Yan Zheke replied with a cute emoji with a finger on the lips. "Cheng, now I think you have some talent for fighting in matches!"
Lou Cheng sent a Crayon Shin-chan scratching its head with a silly smile. "Not as good as you said."
He continued to send messages. "Didn't I tell you before that Coach Shi saw that I had a talent for meditation and taught me some pole-standing and moves in private? So, I took advantage of the three-minute conversation time to accumulate strength and compress my body's strength to the current limit. Then, I used the combination of Mega Avalanche and Lightning and Fire Stance of 24 Blizzard Strikes to make my opponent lose his center of gravity in one hit. Then, I got close to him and knocked him out of the arena.
"That's right … Cheng, every time I listen to your description of a martial arts competition, I can't help but imagine myself in your shoes. I always wonder how I would react and what the result would be if I were in your shoes. This makes me experience a wonderful battle without even leaving the house." Yan Zheke sent an emoji of twinkling eyes.
"You must have done better than me!" Lou Cheng seized the opportunity to praise her again. He sent a blushing emoji. "I'm very happy to make you feel this way."
Yan Zheke sent a laughing emoji with a hand over its mouth. Then she said, "I was looking for your match process and news on the official website, but there was only one short sentence on the news: The first round of the Phoenix Cup Warrior Sage Candidate Challenge Tournament has ended. Ye Youting and other contestants have successfully passed. So annoying!"
"I'm in that 'wait' list. My name will appear in the future." Lou Cheng sent a touching head emoji.
While they were chatting, the match in the morning was over. Yan Zheke sent a fighting emoji. "I've been provoked by you. After lunch and a rest, I'll go find grandpa and grandma and 'steal' our family's martial arts. I'll practice for the whole afternoon!"
"Haha, will they agree?" Lou Cheng replied.
Yan Zheke sent a laughing emoji. "Don't worry. I'll definitely be able to do it. My grandma loves me very much and she's soft-hearted. As long as I don't tell anyone and don't embarrass her, there won't be a problem."
"Then you have to strike a balance between work and rest." Lou Cheng said with concern. He went out of the martial arts club and ate three boxes of cheap fast food.
In the afternoon, Yan Zheke practiced martial arts. Lou Cheng browsed the forum and watched the match.
Suddenly, he saw a message from "Invincible Punch" in a live post in the forum. "Master Road is on the stage. His opponent is an Amateur Fourth Pin guy."
"Road to the Arena" is in the middle of a match? Lou Cheng looked at the big screens one by one. Soon he found Road to the Arena, whose photo had been posted before, had a three-minute conversation time with his opponent.
PS: Since everyone is so insistent, I'll update the chapter at noon in advance. Actually, I've been updating quite a lot every day. According to the mainstream trend of Qidian, it's normal for a new book to be updated twice a day with more than two thousand words. But I've been updating at least three thousand or four thousand words per day. If you want to share, two thousand words per day is enough for three updates. Do you want to be so fickle? Since I've satisfied everyone's request, I'm begging for your votes ~
