The waves of cheers grew louder and louder, exceeding the previous highest decibels. Lou Cheng panted heavily to relieve the tightness in his chest and the shortness of his breath. He felt his muscles spasming slightly and was obviously lacking in strength.
After more than ten seconds, he managed to recover. His head was no longer in a daze and he could focus on Force Concentration.
Lou Cheng's muscles swelled and his chest wriggled. He opened his throat and spat out a mouthful of unpleasant breath. Then he felt alive again.
Even so, he was still weak and short of breath, which required the vigorous metabolism of a strong body to slowly relieve. It was not something that could be done in a short time.
"Sure enough, I don't have the strength to fight anymore … The last two or three moves were really squeezed out by my willpower …" Lou Cheng's eyes became serious again. He saluted Ren Li and said, "Thank you for letting me win."
Ren Li had also made a Force Concentration with great difficulty and calmed down a little. She returned the salute and was about to speak when she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. She also felt that a few of her teeth were loosening under the vibration and were about to fall off.
For Mighty Ones of Dan stage, they were full of vigor and vitality. Even if their teeth were knocked off, they could grow back after a while. It was equivalent to changing teeth, so it was not a serious injury.
"I have to do Silent Meditation for a few days …" Ren Li pursed her lips and said no more. She turned around and walked towards the stone stairs. Her leg muscles were still trembling and twitching. Her steps were quite light and her body was shaking.
Shen You, Jiang Kongchan and the others immediately rushed over to support her.
Lou Cheng was the same. On the way back, he felt his calves and stomach jumping with every step. He was a little out of breath and had to take deep breaths.
Yan Zheke and Cai Zongming quickly came up and supported him in a flurry.
"Awesome! You actually tied!" Cai Zongming gave him a thumbs up with his free hand.
"Are you praising me … or mocking me?" Lou Cheng asked with a smile. He was actually stuttering when he spoke, which showed that he was not in good condition.
Cai Zongming laughed. "Of course I'm praising you. I don't know how many gamblers want to go to the rooftop. No, the rooftop is full of people. The corpses below are piled up to the edge of the rooftop."
Most people were betting on who would win or lose!
"I don't have a choice … Actually, Ren Li has a higher chance of winning … I forced a draw …" Lou Cheng admitted frankly that he was slightly inferior to Ren Li.
Before he could finish his words, Yan Zheke, who was on the other side, interrupted him with both anger and concern, "Stop talking! It's so strenuous … Should we go to the emergency room? "
"No need. Phew, it's much better than before … I'll be back to normal in a few minutes." After being yelled at, Lou Cheng smiled even more happily.
…
Because it was a draw, there was no need to hurry up and not give the opponent a chance to recover. The referee signaled Lin Que and Chen Diguo to wait for a while, and then called the staff to clean up the ring.
Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Chang, who was in the live-stream, lamented in amusement.
"I didn't expect it to be a draw. That's rare!"
"Isn't it very difficult for the referee to make such a decision? I think it's not a problem to fool a layman like me with the last punch. "
Chen Sansheng laughed and said, "The referee should have considered that both of them would be injured, so it's not a big problem for him to call it a draw. Ren Li and Lou Cheng have obviously reached their limits. It's not the limit of exhaustion, but the limit of the negative state that makes them unable to continue fighting. In this case, they have a good chance of dodging the opponent's attack by lowering their heads and tilting their necks. Then they just stare at each other and can't make any moves."
"Haha, you're right. It's obvious that Lou Cheng and Ren Li's physical condition is getting worse and worse." Liu Chang said thoughtfully, "Ren Li must have suffered two Internal Explosion Punches, which left a residual injury. Then she was hit by Lou Cheng's Tremor Punch with Force Concentration, which added up to the shock, which completely triggered the negative status. Her situation is easy to understand, but what about Lou Cheng? Inexplicably, his strength is getting weaker and weaker … "
Chen Sansheng thought carefully for more than ten seconds, and then signaled the director to replay a few scenes.
"Stop! Stop! Right here! See? After Ren Li retreated, Lou Cheng didn't chase after her. Instead, he rushed to the edge of the side and gasped for breath as if he had been holding his breath for a long time. "
"You mean in the previous round, Lou Cheng didn't breathe much, or he didn't dare to breathe?" Liu Chang asked in horror.
"Yes, the secret arts of the Plague Sect are all strange and unpredictable. They can harm people without anyone noticing." Chen Sansheng sighed. "I can't tell what kind of Kung Fu it was, but I can guess what happened to Lou Cheng. He must have been hit by the simplified physical invulnerability of the Plague Sect when he fought with Ren Li for the second time, which left some residual effects in his body. Ren Li definitely wouldn't let go of this chance. She must have kept using the unique skills of the Plague Sect to strengthen the effect."
"The unique skills of the Plague Sect seem to work through the respiratory system. How strange!" Liu Chang echoed in surprise. "If so, why didn't Lou Cheng use guerrilla fighting to avoid the area where the 'smell' settled?"
"This is a martial arts competition. It's a fight between two people. He can't do whatever he wants." Chen Sansheng shook his head and smiled. "Didn't you see? Ren Li obviously wanted to seize this opportunity to weaken Lou Cheng's combat strength. She kept attacking him with the Dan stage, not giving him any chance to escape. From this, we can see that Ren Li actually has the upper hand during this period. When she feels that she can't hold on anymore and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, she can take the initiative to force her opponent back and retreat calmly. Lou Cheng can't. "
"If he retreated, the situation would be reversed. Of course, Lou Cheng would have to grit his teeth and seize this opportunity. If he resorted to guerrilla warfare, Ren Li could take the opportunity to calm down her qi and blood, heal her injuries, and eliminate the wavering on the spiritual level. Based on the strength they had shown before, she would regain the initiative and increase her chances of winning. Although the outcome is still unknown, at least it would be more beneficial to her."
Liu Chang was enlightened. "So that's why … Lou Cheng's momentum was amazing. He seemed to have no limit. He just wanted to take you down in one breath, even at the cost of his life! No wonder Ren Li's confidence was shaken and she took the initiative to retreat … "
"Yeah, at that level, they can't accurately grasp each other's physical condition. They rely on their willpower, momentum, and confidence to influence the enemy. In this respect, Lou Cheng is indeed better than Ren Li. He made up for the slight difference in strength. Haha, I'm not saying that Lou Cheng is weak. He has only been practicing martial arts for a short time, but he is almost on par with Ren Li. He lives up to his name as the Heavenly Son of the Age!"
At this time, on Weibo, "Eternal Nightfall" Yan Xiaoling, "Brahman 001", and "Unparalleled Dragon King" all tagged "All-knowing Man in Ganghood".
"I just want to laugh. Haha, haha. Cover your mouth and run away."
"I feel more and more that you have the potential to be a toxic healer. It's time to take over Sect Leader He's position (dog emoji)."
"After practicing martial arts for a year and a half, he tied with Ren Li. If this is not the Heavenly Son of the Age, what is?"
"I'm waiting for you to post a long Weibo. Let's see how you are going to pester us!"
…
Reading these posts, "All-knowing Man in Ganghood" breathed heavily. Suddenly, he grabbed the cup on the table and threw it out with force.
Bang!
The cup hit the corner of the wall and broke into pieces.
Under "Superstitious Thoughts Are Not"'s previous prediction, many people came to watch.
"I always feel that you have given the capital a good dose of toxic healer this time."
"Without Lou Cheng's rebounding of the curse, you have indeed made full use of your strength. I have high hopes for you!"
"Don't say that. Sect Leader He predicted that Songcheng University's substitutes were weak and would lose as a whole. Isn't it not time for it to come true? After that, I went to add 100 yuan to Songcheng University's win. "
…
In the seats of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club, Geezer Shi glanced at Lou Cheng and clicked his tongue.
"Not bad. You can fight to this extent. Let's see how that old devil Qi Ling praises her disciple in front of me."
Old devil … Lou Cheng recovered a lot. The corner of his mouth twitched and said, "Senior Qi should be younger than you, Master, right?"
She looked to be in her early fifties.
"Younger than me." Geezer Shi snorted. "But she doesn't behave like an old woman. She even calls herself Sister Qi in front of the younger generation."
Isn't it normal for women to behave like this … Lou Cheng didn't quite understand his master. He went back to his seat and took a sip of the Sedative and Brain-invigorating Fluid.
"Senior Qi was a famous beauty in the martial arts circle. She was also very knowledgeable and could draw …" The girl lowered her voice and gossiped. Then she complained, "Why didn't you care about yourself at all? Why did you have to fight with Ren Li like that …"
She knew that Lou Cheng must have judged the situation before doing so, but she still couldn't help nagging.
Lou Cheng took a deep breath and smiled. "If I had used other moves or fighting methods, I might have been able to reduce the influence of Ren Li's unique skill of the Plague Sect. But it was continuous and couldn't be completely blocked. The weakening speed would slow down, but it would be difficult to completely stop. When I was weakening little by little, I wouldn't have used Thunder Roar Zen to increase the influence of Ren Li and weaken her as well. Then I wouldn't have been able to turn the situation around …"
While they were talking, the referee checked the field and waved to Chen Diguo and Lin Que.
Lin Que had already been standing at the edge of the seats. Seeing that, he leaned over and bumped fists with Lou Cheng and the others one by one. Then he strode toward the stone stairs. His face was calm and his eyes were deep with hidden flames.
Whether or not he could defeat the Capital depended on his next battle with Chen Diguo!
The audience also stopped reminiscing about the wonderful battle and turned their attention back to the arena.
"Chen Diguo, go for it!" The supporters of the Capital College Martial Arts Club cheered in an organized manner.
The others were shouting in bits and pieces.
"Songcheng University, go for it!"
"Lin Que, go for it!"
Of the two Heavenly Sons of the age who had contributed to the fierce battle, one of them would eventually stay in the semifinals.
