The Longhu forum had a large number of fans. If no one replied to a new post, it would drop to the second page in a few minutes. Lou Cheng's post was noticed by many people because of its eye-catching title.
Her nickname was "Above the Sky" and her avatar was "Rock Girl". She replied, "Second floor! I'll tell you if you become my disciple! "
She was a famous girl on the forum. Lou Cheng was about to call her "Master", but Yan Zheke's figure flashed in his mind. He felt guilty. How could he fool around with other girls when he had a crush on someone?
At this time, a second reply appeared. "A Plumber Eating Mushrooms" said,
"First of all, you have to buy a professional training suit and enter the gym a few minutes after the class starts. You have to look cold and steady. When you see the coach, you have to say, 'I'm sorry, I hurt my bones in the previous competition, so I can only do recovery exercises.' If the coach agrees, you can do Tai Chi, stretch your legs, and take a walk. If the coach doesn't agree, you have to stare at him coldly. You have to show enough momentum and posture. That's all. By the way, I forgot to ask you, can you beat the coach?"
Lou Cheng couldn't help laughing at his clever answer. He replied, "What if I can't beat the coach?"
After sending this message and refreshing the page, Lou Cheng saw several replies.
"Okamoto's Fan" replied, "Is the coach a girl? Hit on her! Fix her! "
"Invincible Punch" said, "This problem doesn't exist in our martial arts school. If you can't beat the coach, you have to behave yourself."
"Road to the Arena" said, "Give the coach some money. You don't have any foundation anyway. You just need to exercise and show off. You're not like me, who worked hard to enter the real martial arts circle."
"Outspoken" said, "Go and exercise first to improve your physical strength. Otherwise, when you participate in the training class, you can't stand the stance for a few minutes and can't even beat a girl. Isn't that more embarrassing?"
These four guys were all familiar faces on the forum. Lou Cheng hadn't been in the forum for long, but thanks to several months of lurking around, he knew a little about them.
"Okamoto's Fan" was a dirty joker who could change any topic to sex. "Invincible Punch" was a martial arts school student, one year older than Lou Cheng. He was already of Amateur First Pin and was working hard to enter the professional martial arts circle. He had a good analysis of martial arts and a good personality, so he was very popular on the forum.
"Road to the Arena" was a somewhat pompous guy. He always liked to boast that he was rich, that he had once received guidance from famous fighters, that he had a Professional Ninth Pin certificate, and that he had given up his martial arts career for the sake of his family business. He also had a lot of bad friends in the forum. "Outspoken", as his name suggested, had a low EQ and would easily offend people with his words.
Although he understood them, as a newbie, Lou Cheng still replied to them one by one. To "Okamoto's Fan", he replied, "Sorry to disappoint you, the coach is a man between an uncle and an old man." To "Invincible Punch", he said, "You don't have to answer so seriously …" To "Road to the Arena", he said, "Poor student, better spend your money yourself." To "Outspoken", he said, "You're right, you haven't exercised for a year in high school, and played crazily for more than two months after the college entrance exam. You're really weak."
After he sent, there were more replies.
"Unparalleled Dragon King" said, "University Martial Arts Club? Which university? If it's Shanbei, Capital, Huahai, you should ask Peng Leyun and Ren Li for autographs! What's the point? They're all real geniuses who are expected to enter the top three pins. Last year, in the national final of the University Martial Arts Club, they defeated those seniors who relied on their supernatural bloodline. I don't know why they insist on going to university. After this, there won't be another chance! "
"Wonton Seller" sent a cute emoticon and then said, "Little Tiger, all the best! Train your body until it's great!"
"Unparalleled Dragon King" was a martial arts fanatic and worshipped "Dragon King" Chen Qitao very much. Lou Cheng had to reply, "Small school, please don't mention it."
Last year, he was "addicted" to revising for high school and spent his limited leisure time on "Professional Martial Arts Competition" and "Five Title Matches". He didn't pay attention to "National University Martial Arts Club" at all. He was even more ignorant of names like Peng Leyun and Ren Li.
"Wonton Seller" was a lively and gentle girl. She was only in her second year of high school and was very popular with the uncles and aunties on the forum. Lou Cheng naturally replied with a smile, "Why don't you wish me to dominate the University Martial Arts Club?"
At this time, he also received replies to his previous replies.
"A Plumber Eating Mushrooms" said, "Since you can't beat the coach, as Schrodinger's Tiger, you can only do the Tiger Landing Style!"
The Tiger Landing Style was a joke, which meant to beg for mercy on all fours.
"Okamoto's Fan" said, "Male? Then you can only offer your chrysanthemum! "
Lou Cheng browsed other posts on the forum to learn about the rumors and martial arts in the martial arts circle. At the same time, he paid attention to his own post with a fascinated smile and replied in time.
Of course, his replies had to be focused. He was subconsciously inclined to reply to those IDs that had a good relationship with the moderator "Pig-Riding Knight", which were small legendary groups, such as "A Plumber Eating Mushrooms", "Above the Sky", "Unparalleled Dragon King" and "Wonton Seller".
Because of his poor family background before high school, he didn't have a personal computer. Although his family situation improved in high school, he had to "indulge" in his studies and had little access to the Internet. Lou Cheng didn't really enter the online world until the college entrance examination. He was full of interest in forums and QQ, especially when he had the same hobby.
While he was in a good mood, the sky gradually darkened. He saw the latest reply from "Wonton Seller". "I'm young, don't lie to me. Little Tiger, you're not even an Amateur Ninth Pin, how can you dominate the martial arts circle in the university? Little Tiger, you'd better do your best job as a cheerleader, which has a bright future! "
Just as he smiled and was about to reply, there was a soft knock on the door behind him. He turned around and saw Cai Zongming standing by the unlocked door. He laughed dryly and said, "Cheng, go eat by yourself. I have some friends from my hometown coming over, so I have to entertain them."
Lou Cheng spread his index fingers and thumbs wide open, and then two of his index fingers pointed down, making a contemptuous gesture.
At this time, it was dusk, and the last class of the afternoon was about to end. He was worried about queuing in the cafeteria, so he didn't have time to deeply despise Cai Zongming. He quickly turned off the computer, left the dormitory, and went straight to the nearest cafeteria.
The cafeteria was not too crowded. Lou Cheng came to the window selling Meat Vegetable Rice, pointed to the iron basin on the left and said,
"Beef with Potatoes with Meat Vegetable Rice. Add more gravy."
The university was subsidized by the state, so the cafeteria was quite cheap. Lou Cheng spent less than 20 yuan a day. If he focused on frugality and ate less meat, he could even spend less than 10 yuan. Of course, there was always a price to pay. First, the taste, standard, and quantity fluctuated greatly. Second, from time to time, he had to accept strange dishes developed by chefs, which were commonly known as "the ninth major cuisine — cafeteria dishes".
The Beef with Potatoes in Songcheng was different from other places. It usually left a lot of gravy, which almost drowned the dish. However, when the potatoes were stewed until they were powdery and almost melted into the gravy, together with the rich meaty aroma, one could eat a big bowl of rice without other dishes. As for the beef with Beef with Potatoes, Lou Cheng liked the fatty part of the beef best. The gravy would overflow when it was stewed, and it would be fresh and tender in the mouth. It was not as dry and tasteless as the lean meat.
After eating the Meat Vegetable Rice with satisfaction, Lou Cheng planned to go back to the dormitory to play computer games and chat with Yan Zheke on QQ. However, he suddenly thought of the "outspoken" reply in his post.
"My physical strength has been poor recently. I need to exercise. I can't lose face in front of Yan Zheke in the Martial Arts Club …" Lou Cheng muttered in his heart. He decided to take a walk by Weishui Lake and run one or two laps after digestion.
Sharpening one's spear at the last minute, even if it's not fast, it's shiny!
Songcheng University was originally located in the city. Two years ago, with the soaring number of students, a new campus was built in the suburbs. It was said to be a "mountainous and garden-like school". Therefore, the existing Weishui Lake was enclosed in the new campus. The lake was not big, but the waves were vast. The surrounding grass was long and birds were flying in the air. It was poetic and picturesque.
Lou Cheng walked half a circle around the lake and gradually came to the desolate area where the new campus had not yet started construction. At this time, the sky was dark, and the cold wind was blowing. There was no one around except for the thick grass and trees, which made people shudder. Subconsciously, they thought of all kinds of ghost rumors.
Tightening his thin jacket, Lou Cheng decided to run and get out of here as soon as possible. He was not afraid of ghosts, but he could not guarantee that there would be someone who would jump out to rob him.
After running along the road by the lake for a while, he began to pant. He felt that his body was getting weak and his physical strength was getting worse. He had to slow down and take deep breaths.
At this moment, Lou Cheng suddenly heard the sound of water splashing. He looked over and saw a black carp wriggling on the lakeside. It was about twenty centimeters long. Its scales were dry and scorched, as if it had been burned by someone.
Bang!
The black carp struggled and jumped up. It turned around and landed on the ground, revealing the other side. Its scales were covered with white frost, as if it had just been taken out of the freezer.
"This …" Lou Cheng took a deep breath and felt that this was a bit unreal. How could there be a half braised and half eaten cold? No, half burned and half frozen?
When he was ready to run, the black carp stopped struggling. The coexisting part of the carp cracked along the lines, revealing the scene in its belly.
There seemed to be a bright moon, bright and cold, shining slowly, making the surroundings dreamy and blurred.
Lou Cheng subconsciously stopped and looked over. He saw that there was a spherical object in the fish's belly that seemed to be made of little ice crystals. Looking at it carefully, it was like the reflection of the universe, like a rotating vast nebula. Each ice crystal was a planet, rotating around the light purple "flame". Ice and fire were unified in the most harmonious way.
After a moment of silence, Lou Cheng frowned and muttered to himself,
"Why does it feel like the Jindan in Xianxia novels?"
The dreamy spherical nebula stood there quietly, arousing Lou Cheng's expectation and greed. But after thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone, opened the web application, entered the search interface, and began to search terms related to Jindan and Inner Elixir.
Don't touch the things of strangers!
Don't touch the things of unknown people!
It didn't matter if he didn't search, but when he did, he was shocked. Lou Cheng saw that an authoritative martial arts website mentioned in detail,
"In ancient times, there was a split among the martial artists. Some of them wanted to break the limit of life and achieve the kind of immortality in myths and legends, so they hid in the mountains and changed their martial arts. After one or two thousand years, through making friends with their families and finding many clues such as caves and relics, we found that although they succeeded in cultivating Inner Elixir, they still completely lost their inheritance. As for immortality, sometimes there is a limit to human strength …"
"Sometimes there is a limit to human strength …" Lou Cheng muttered to himself, feeling a little emotional.
It seemed that it was really the "Inner Elixir". Maybe it was left by the last cultivator, and the black carp coincidentally entered the cave and swallowed it, but couldn't bear it.
Could this be his fortuitous encounter?
Would there be hidden dangers and make him like the black carp?
Maybe there were only one or two chances to change one's destiny in one's life. If one missed it, there would be no second chance. Would this be his chance, or a disaster in his life?
After thinking about it, Lou Cheng took a deep breath, took off his coat, and wrapped it around his right hand. He walked over quickly, intending to pick it up carefully.
Don't let go of the opportunity, but you have to be on the alert and always be on guard against changes!
