The night was as dark as ink, and neon lights were flashing in the city. The martial arts stadium was packed with people, shouting "Champion, Champion".
Suddenly, the announcer extended his voice and shouted, "Mr.
"The first round of the finals of this year's National University Martial Arts Competition …"
"Peng Leyun!"
"Lin Que!"
With a boom, the two names were exchanged for a heatwave that could overturn the roof. Most of the audience present tore their throats open, letting go of all restraint, forgetting themselves to vent the passion that was usually restrained in their bodies.
In the center of the arena, the referee slightly narrowed his eyes and tilted his head to feel the atmosphere.
He suddenly sighed. No one knew whether he was reminiscing about his lost youth or feeling sorry for the last part of his life.
Finals, youth, what a beautiful noun!
The referee quickly calmed down and waved to both sides, indicating that the contestants could enter the arena.
In the seats of Shanbei University Martial Arts Club, Peng Leyun, without a jacket, slowly stood up. The light in his eyes gathered little by little. Gradually, he changed from an easily ignored passerby to a terrifying creature with an imposing manner.
He reached out his hands and high-fived Fang Zhirong, Xu Wannian, and the others. Then he calmly walked to the stone steps.
In the seats of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club, Lin Que, who had volunteered to fight, had already stood in front of his seat. After seeing the referee's gesture, he turned sideways and reached out his right hand to Lou Cheng.
Clap!
Lou Cheng not only high-fived him, but also took the opportunity to hold his hand, as if he wanted to give him all his strength and courage.
"Come on!" Lou Cheng shook his hand hard.
Lin Que didn't say anything, but nodded slightly but firmly enough.
With Lou Cheng's "demonstration", Yan Zheke, Cai Zongming, Li Mao, and Sun Jian also shook Lin Que's hand while high-fiving, as if they wanted to turn their blessings and expectations into extra strength for him.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
In the sincere voices, Lin Que responded to them one by one. Then he turned around and walked step by step, staring at the arena.
The arena was illuminated by the spotlights. It was so dazzling that it seemed like a dream. It was no different from the previous matches. However, Lin Que was in a trance. He felt that what he was seeing was beginning to overlap with the scenes in his memories from many years ago.
That was also the arena shrouded in light. That was also the venue for the finals. That was also where the members of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club gathered solemnly.
However, at that time, he could only watch from the stands. He could not do anything about the outcome of the battle, nor could he do anything about the grief of his father, big brothers, and big sisters.
And now, I will take their place and ascend to this place of glory. I will use my own fists and feet to fight, to fight, to avoid regret.
I've walked for so many years, and now I'm finally here.
…
In the studio, the guest commentator, Chen Sansheng, sighed.
"Songcheng University has indeed adopted the riskiest and most promising strategy."
"Yes." The host, Liu Chang, agreed. "If Lin Que can exhaust Peng Leyun, then Songcheng University will have a higher chance of winning the championship. However, if Lin Que is defeated by Peng Leyun, then Songcheng University will have almost no chance of making a comeback. I think the latter is more likely to happen. After all, there is a precedent."
"You can't say that. In December last year, Lin Que was defeated by Peng Leyun. However, at that time, he had a hard fight with Fang Zhirong. At that time, he had at most 20 to 30 percent of his strength left. In the following half year, he improved by leaps and bounds and reached the level of a strong Seventh Pin. He is no longer an amateur. Correspondingly, Peng Leyun has indeed improved, but the extent of his improvement is obviously not as great as Lin Que's. In fact, the gap between the two has narrowed." Chen Sansheng expressed his opinion.
The Inhuman Stage was a barrier. Even with Peng Leyun's ability, it was inevitable that he would reach a bottleneck and his strength would stagnate.
Liu Chang chuckled. "Sansheng, you have to consider another factor. Peng Leyun, who defeated Lin Que so quickly last year, obviously didn't use his full strength."
"That's true … Besides, if Peng Leyun has started to transform, then it must be accompanied by a certain degree of improvement …" Chen Sansheng paused. "We can only know the specific situation after the fight."
He didn't make a judgment or prediction because he didn't have enough information. However, his attitude and inclination in his words were self-evident.
…
The stone steps under his feet reduced layer by layer, and the road shortened inch by inch. Lin Que finally "saw" the real appearance of the arena and finally saw Peng Leyun, who was climbing up step by step.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his opponent was tall and majestic, as if the endless and unfathomable magnificence of nature made people feel small and awestruck, as if they were witnessing a thunderstorm or a starry sky. His body and mind trembled involuntarily.
The imposing manner of a Sixth Pin fighter was oppressive!
This made Lin Que realize that Peng Leyun, who fought with him in December last year, didn't use his full strength at all!
At that time, he was more in the mood of experiencing and experimenting with the competition!
No wonder he was the "Big Devil" …
Lin Que didn't have a similar skill yet, so he couldn't counterattack. He could only suppress his emotions and guard himself, not moving at all. His eyes were as deep as a lake, and his heart was like the boundless sky carrying meteors.
The two of them stood in their predetermined positions. Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke adjusted their sitting postures. The audience held their breaths, and the smell of gunpowder in the final match could be triggered at any moment.
The referee checked his watch, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly,
"Conversation time starts now!"
Lin Que immediately closed his eyes, thinking about something, preparing for something.
Peng Leyun slowly lowered his waist and got into a fighting posture. With a smile on his face, he didn't disturb his opponent's thoughts. He had the bearing of a grandmaster.
As time passed, everything in the arena seemed to be stagnant. Only Peng Leyun's natural and harmonious movements showed the feeling of reality.
"I'd like to calculate whether Lin Que has spoken more than ten sentences in all the matches he's participated in." Chen Sansheng, who had nothing better to do, began to tease Lin Que, who was known as "silence is gold."
The host, Liu Chang, couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't that good? Anyway, we can't hear what he says during the conversation time. "
"I'm just casually chatting to ease the tension of the final match," Chen Sansheng explained. Chen Sansheng explained, "I've noticed that most of the people who interact with each other on the Internet are rather quiet. There are quite a lot of people online, but very few of them are talking."
"Not to mention them, even I am a bit nervous. The final match, this is the final match." Liu Chang sighed with emotion.
While they were talking to ease the atmosphere, the ticking sound didn't stop, and three minutes were about to pass.
At this time, Lin Que opened his eyes. His eyes were dark and deep, as if they were hiding a sky full of stars.
Peng Leyun's natural and rhythmic movements slowed down, creating a sense of oppression and suffocation as if a storm was about to come.
The referee raised his right hand again and waved it down. His voice shook the whole arena.
"Begin!"
The first round began!
The first round of the final match of the National University Martial Arts Competition began!
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Lin Que suddenly raised his hands and made a gesture in front of him. With the ancient characters in his mind, he said in a low voice,
"Okay!"
He still chose to attack at the beginning of the match without changing his style.
"Okay!"
A subtle and mysterious voice reverberated in the air. Lin Que's figure leaped out like a scar, snatching the opportunity before Peng Leyun could launch his Flash Strike.
In just a moment, Lin Que had entered the range of Peng Leyun's attack. Peng Leyun stretched out his left hand and pulled his right arm back. He lowered his body and maintained his previous posture, either because he couldn't dodge in time or because he didn't want to.
At this time, Lin Que felt a tingling sensation all over his body. It seemed that his whole body was about to be attacked.
Sizzle!
Peng Leyun's figure was slightly distorted in front of him.
Sizzle!
In the broadcast, faint ripples and a few "snowflakes" danced in the air, blurring the scene of the battle.
"This …" Chen Sansheng was stunned and blurted out, "Peng Leyun has really begun to transform!"
His root pulp had changed, and the power of thunder and lightning was leaking out!
"Transformation …" Liu Chang murmured to herself, unable to hide her surprise.
Although there were rumors pointing out this possibility, it was still shocking to see it with one's own eyes.
Once a person transformed, they would no longer be ordinary!
Peng Leyun would definitely get the certificate of Fifth Pin before the end of his junior year.
And with the help of the supernatural power of thunder and lightning, with his original strength, it was not impossible for him to defeat three opponents by himself today.
Songcheng University's risk, Lin Que's risk, seemed to have failed at the beginning.
Peng Leyun was indeed the Big Devil.
"Hiss …" Lou Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air and stood up.
Not only him, but also Yan Zheke, Cai Zongming, and the others all stood up.
At the most critical moment, Peng Leyun had made another breakthrough. He was the f * cking protagonist …
"I knew it." "All-knowing Man in Ganghood" posted these words on Weibo at the right time with a spread out emoji. His complacency was evident in his words.
"Superstitious Thoughts Are Not" said with a "husky" emoji.
"See, this is the Heavenly Son of the age!"
In Lou Cheng's fan forum, "Unparalleled Dragon King" sighed, covering his face.
"If Peng Leyun defeated three opponents by himself because of his breakthrough, then it's because poison can't change one's fate. This is what it means to be favored by luck!"
While everyone was shocked and lamenting, the situation on the field had changed.
Lin Que's whole body was tingling and numb, as if every inch of his skin was in contact with some static electricity. His Absolute Reaction appeared.
When his senses were in chaos, he suddenly stopped and braked. In the harsh sound of friction, his tendons and muscles trembled and converted the huge kinetic energy into the strength of his right fist.
At the same time, he slightly tilted his head and listened to the wind to determine Peng Leyun's movement.
Bam!
Peng Leyun withdrew and released his qi and blood, and his body immediately swayed forward. Against the intermittent appearance of small silver "snakes", the tendons in his arms bulged and like nine dragons emerging from the sea, he threw a punch at Lin Que's waist.
"Heavenly Punishment Force", an advanced version of "Shocking Thunder Force", one of the two core forces of the Thunder Sect.
Bam!
Lin Que quickly swung his arm and threw out his right fist, as fast as a meteor streaking across the sky.
Boom!
Fierce airwaves suddenly rolled out from where their fists collided, setting off a whistling wind. The little snowflakes and weak ripples on the screen disappeared in an instant.
Peng Leyun's body trembled as if he had been hit by a bomb. His muscles and tendons trembled, and his meridians were burning with pain. Lin Que's right arm hair stood up, and he seemed to hear a sizzling sound in his ears.
Half of his body was temporarily paralyzed, and it was difficult for him to exert force or make a move.
Details showed the foundation. Peng Leyun was obviously less affected by the shock than Lin Que's paralysis, so he recovered first and made a Force Concentration.
Half a beat later, Lin Que also withdrew his qi and blood, force, spirit, and paralysis, and let them condense in his Dantian.
Boom!
With the explosion of his Dantian, Peng Leyun turned sideways, stretched his body, and fiercely rushed forward like a thunder giant.
Lin Que was still half a beat slower. He could only follow suit and spurt out his Dantian Qi, bulging his muscles, and collide head-on with Peng Leyun.
Since his senses were affected by the static electricity and he misjudged the enemy's attack, he fell one step behind and kept falling behind.
Bam!
The muffled sound was so loud that it penetrated the cheers and shouts of the audience. Lin Que couldn't bear it and his body swayed backward, retreating.
Just as he was about to reverse his qi and blood to stabilize his center of gravity, Peng Leyun smoothly and naturally pressed and swung his waist. Like a floating cloud, he suddenly bounced forward and closed in on Lin Que.
Thunder Sect, 36th Move, Flash Attack!
As soon as he closed in, the light in Peng Leyun's eyes condensed, so bright that it was like two bolts of lightning had broken through the darkness.
The visualization in his mind kept changing, and finally fixed on a cyan jade talisman floating in the void. The strokes on it were like lightning, twisting into a ball to form complex characters.
Sizzle!
Silver flashed, and Yin and Yang clashed.
Thunder Sect, 11th Move, Simplified Physical Invulnerability, Peng Leyun's exclusive modification, Thunder Seal!
Bam!
Peng Leyun's body swelled, and every muscle seemed to be filled with blood. At this moment, he was the Thunder God who had descended to the earth. Using his fist as a hammer, he fiercely chopped down to deliver punishment on behalf of God!
Zi, zi, zi, his fist was surrounded by a layer of faintly discernible electric snakes.
At this stage, his Simplified Physical Invulnerability was no less inferior than Lou Cheng's!
Lin Que had no time to dodge, so he had to use Force Concentration to stabilize his body. In the explosion of Dan Qi, his muscles and tendons bulged, and he threw out his left fist like a dragon coiling around his body to block Peng Leyun's attack.
Bam!
With a deafening sound, the two greenish-black fists were temporarily frozen in the air.
Lin Que's eyes lit up with flashing electric lights. His hair stood up, and smoke seemed to come out of his Seven Apertures. His muscles trembled automatically, and he felt paralyzed all over. He stood there like a statue. His mind was desperately directing his actions, but his body didn't cooperate at all. It was difficult for him to complete Force Concentration!
Peng Leyun, who didn't use the explosive power of Dan Force, took a few steps back. Then, he stabilized himself and bounced forward naturally. He pounced on Lin Que, who was still in a state of paralysis!
He shook his shoulders and was about to throw out his arms.
"As expected …" Chen Sansheng exclaimed in the live broadcast room.
Lin Que was going to be defeated by Peng Leyun!
It wasn't that he didn't work hard enough or that he wasn't strong enough, but that his opponent was too terrifying!
In front of the computer screen, Yan Xiaoling covered her eyes with her hands. She didn't dare to watch the next scene and the upcoming ending.
Mu Jinnian clenched her teeth, and her eyes showed unbearable sadness.
In the seats of the Songcheng University Martial Arts Club, Lou Cheng, Yan Zheke, and the others didn't do anything else. They were all staring at the arena, watching Peng Leyun throw out his arm and hit Lin Que's temple in slow motion.
At this time, even if Lin Que recovered a little from the paralysis and could perform Force Concentration, it was too late.
"Good!" All-knowing Man in Ganghood waved his fist.
This is the ending!
This is the real definition of the Heavenly Son of the Age!
When Lin Que's paralysis was just relieved, his deep eyes reflected Peng Leyun's fist that was getting bigger and bigger.
In his senses, everything around him seemed to be still. Only Peng Leyun and his fist were left in the world. Only thoughts flashed in his mind.
In front of the slightly old arena, he was practicing his moves methodically. His father came over and smiled with expectation. "Tomorrow is the final match."
Under the spotlight, a figure fell out of the arena. His father looked very sad. He stood in front of his seat and held the railing, looking at the scene in confusion.
His father's old injury relapsed, and he looked haggard and old. He stood in front of the trophy display window and said to himself helplessly and self-deprecatingly, "I was just short of a national champion …"
The pungent smell of disinfectant, the monotonous blue and white walls, the doctors and nurses who were rushing to and fro, his father who couldn't speak, his mother who was crying, and himself who was huddling in the corner, looking at the scene in fear.
In front of his eyes and ears, the past appeared again. His eyes suddenly became resolute, like a burning flame, without a trace of coldness.
At this time, Peng Leyun's fist suddenly slowed down, as if it was in a swamp, as if it was tied with a thousand pounds of weight. Not only that, his whole body also had the "impulse" to crawl on the ground.
The power of the stars! The power of the earth!
Seeing that Peng Leyun finally showed some surprise, Lin Que clenched his teeth and the muscles in his body wriggled abnormally.
During the Spring Festival, the mutation of my inherited root pulp had already shown signs!
"According to the normal process and the experience of the predecessors, I will control it and suppress it. I will let it change slowly and naturally so that it won't cause a terrible backlash and cause great harm to the body. After a year and a half, when I have the quality of a top-notch Sixth Pin, I will release it completely and take advantage of this to overtake others and enter the inhuman stage in one step!
But I don't want to wait until then to compete for the championship. There are too many variables in the future. I just want to seize the moment, at all costs!
In January last year, Lou Cheng relied on the awakening of his supernatural ability and defeated Ye Youting, who was one Pin higher than him. Today, I want to use this to challenge Peng Leyun!
I didn't use it in the semi-finals because once I release it, my body may not recover for half a year, and it may even leave behind hidden injuries.
I've been waiting for so long, for today!
Lin Que's indifferent eyes were covered with a layer of mist, showing rare sadness, but his will was unprecedentedly firm.
Dad, do you see? I'm going to compete for the championship for Songcheng University!
Bang!
He swung his right arm and punched out. His fist brushed the air, igniting a layer of flame, emitting a dazzling light.
The meteor really cut through the sky!
Jiangnan, Ji family's old house.
The lean Ji Jianzhang smashed the mahogany table with his palm and roared in a low voice,
"Nonsense!"
When Lin Que punched out, the invisible binding immediately dissipated. Peng Leyun's eyes flashed again, pulling back his waist and abdomen, his arms in front of his body.
Boom!
The real explosion was heard. "Meteor Crash", the impact was violent, and the flames were everywhere. Peng Leyun was knocked back a few steps, but he quickly regained his Qi and blood, stabilizing his body.
Taking advantage of the completely released "terror", Lin Que was able to control his Dan Force at will. He closed in on Peng Leyun with every release and release of "Meteor Blast".
Boom! Boom! Boom! After making three consecutive "explosions", Lin Que stared at Peng Leyun, clenching his teeth and enduring the pain.
Bang! Bang! Bang! In the rolling flames, Peng Leyun made "Force Concentration". He kept retreating, but it didn't look like he was going to lose. His clothes were burned, and his face was pale. Everyone from Shanbei University looked at each other, as if they were in a dream. The guest commentator, Chen Sansheng, was speechless and forgot to explain to the audience. Lou Cheng and the others were shocked and sad.
Lin Que wanted to continue his attack, but his body shook and he couldn't hold on anymore. The pain of the disintegration of the fine structure came to him.
He paused and stood there helplessly, as if he was about to collapse.
The referee took the opportunity to announce,
"Round one, Peng Leyun wins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Geezer Shi appeared in the arena and froze Lin Que's body. He shook his head and scolded,
"Nonsense!"
He walked back with Lin Que in his arms, covering half the distance in one step.
In the silence, Lin Que didn't say anything. He just looked at Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke who were running toward him. For the first time, he smiled, a pure smile.
"I've tried my best …" He stared at Lou Cheng with pleading eyes. "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Okay!" Lou Cheng nodded vigorously, his blood boiling.
After he finished replying, he raised his head to look at the arena. When he saw Peng Leyun's towering figure, his emotions surged and he was unable to restrain himself any longer. He let out a long howl.
"Ah!"
The roar came from afar. Lou Cheng quickly approached the arena. His momentum was like the north wind, getting fiercer and fiercer.
Leave the rest to me!
