"He's Lou Cheng."
The four simple words made the atmosphere suddenly solemn. Zhang Li, Guo Guo, and the others were silent for more than ten seconds.
"See, this is the Heavenly son of the age." Ji Lingxi was the first to come back to herself. She smiled and looked at her companions. Then she turned to Yan Zheke and complained, "When they heard that Lou Cheng was coming, they were so excited and curious. They shamelessly followed me home. They wanted to see what the Heavenly son of the age looked like and whether he had three heads and six arms."
"So I'm a monster?" Lou Cheng replied humorously.
"No, no, no. You're not a monster. After practicing martial arts for a year and a half, you've already reached the top of Sixth Pin. You're not a monster. You're a superman!" Zhang Li smiled.
He was relatively calm. His left hand began to twirl the dark brown prayer beads.
"Yes, superman!" Han Zhengcao echoed with an exaggerated smile. Then he asked in confusion, "Lou Cheng, why do I feel that you look a little different from on TV?"
"How so?" Lou Cheng looked at Yan Zheke with a smile and found that she was just as confused as he was.
It had only been five or six days since he last appeared on TV!
Guo Guo was a short and delicate girl with a rather imposing face. She said in a low voice, "You're a little different. On TV, you're … more … how do I put it? More flamboyant. You have a temperament that people don't dare to look at directly."
"Haha, I understand now. During an intense battle, I will definitely release my aura to oppress and affect the opponent's mind. When the match was over and I was interviewed, I hadn't completely calmed down." Lou Cheng suddenly understood.
The me on TV was a "battle form"!
"So that's how it is. When you're free, you're like a forest; when you're in a battle, you're like a fire." Zhang Li nodded thoughtfully.
They were the kind of people who didn't like martial arts. They would only watch highly watched matches that attracted a lot of attention. Therefore, even though there were many seniors and experts around them, they didn't notice some details.
After the small talk, the atmosphere became relatively livelier. Ji Lingxi, Han Zhengcao, and the others sat down and began to chat about various things.
It was obvious that they wanted Lou Cheng to be the center of the conversation. Seeing that he wasn't interested, they didn't mention the prayer beads and ambergris. Instead, they talked about the gossip in the martial arts circle.
Lou Cheng didn't care about what they were talking about. He didn't feel the slightest inferiority even if their collection was worth all his savings. Instead, he took it as an opportunity to broaden his horizons and listened quietly.
He didn't mind.
Time ticked by. Lou Cheng pressed on his phone, looked at the screen, and stood up with a smile.
As time ticked, Lou Lingxi. Ji stood. Li, he was surprised.
His tone was normal, but there was an indisputable tone to it. Ji Lingxi stood up and asked in surprise, "So early?"
"Ever since he started practicing martial arts, he's been living like an old man. Yeah, so am I!" Yan Zheke explained for her boyfriend with a smile and thought of an excuse to get herself out of this situation.
Zhang. "We's Ming," Cheng said, "Yan," Yan, Li, Yan, "Cheng," "Let's go fishing and enjoy the breeze. Oh, there are a few underground fights in the international waters."
With the existence of referees, the arena matches were more than exciting, but not exciting enough. In order to satisfy their own desires and needs to vent, some tycoons would privately organize underground arena matches in war-torn zones and on the high seas. Arena matches without referees!
If they really fought like this, even if no one died, there would definitely be a scene of blood splattering everywhere and bones breaking. It would excite the bestial side of humans.
Of course, the fighters who were willing to fight in Challenge Tournaments to make quick money were not very strong. If there was a Dan stage, Seventh or Sixth Pin fighter, they would have a guarantor and a chance to repay the debt.
"No need." Lou Cheng looked at Yan Zheke and turned her down with a smile.
Tomorrow, he would stay at home with Ke and rub her tummy. Today was one of the days left out in the travel plan.
"Fine. I'll look for you next time. With your Listening Skill, I'm sure you can catch a lot of fish." Zhang Li didn't insist. He left the Ji Family's old house with Han Zhengcao and Guo Guo and got into his SUV.
He took off the dark brown prayer beads and put them on the gearshift. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "What do you think? What do you think of Lou Cheng? "
"He's a gentle, friendly, and introverted person." Han Zhengcao rubbed his eye bags and answered seriously.
"But don't you think he has a strong aura? It's like he's telling us what to do and we can only listen obediently … "Guo Guo frowned and whispered.
"Haha, that's normal. It's the confidence of a Mighty One accumulated from victory after victory. My mom is the same. She doesn't have to get angry or speak loudly. As long as she makes a decision, I don't even dare to fart." Han Zhengcao laughed at himself. "Not to mention a Heavenly Son of the Age."
"Yeah." Zhang Li started the engine and started the car.
"Anyway, whether Lou Cheng can reach physical invulnerability or not, I think he'll definitely become an Inhuman." Han Zhengcao added, "We're not strong and have no interest in martial arts. It's good to make more friends like him!"
"Yo, I didn't expect Young Master Han, who loves wine, cars, and women, to say something like that," Guo Guo mocked.
Han Zhengcao usually behaved like a typical rich playboy.
"This is called being vigilant in times of peace!" he replied, clicking his tongue.
Zhang Li nodded in agreement and said slowly, "Since you have this understanding, it's not a waste of my advice. Why do you think Lingxi insisted on coming back today? Sisterly love? "
"Isn't that so?" Guo Guo and Han Zhengcao asked in surprise.
Zhang Li chuckled. "The Ji family is a typical martial arts family. Don't be fooled by the wealth and power of the outside world. Internally, strength is still the most important factor …"
Guo Guo interrupted him before he could finish. She played with her long wavy hair and said with a frown, "Uncle Ji's four siblings are very harmonious and close."
"That's because there are old masters and old ladies above them. Hehe, where there are people, there are conflicts. Where there are money and power, there are disputes. In order to have strong children to stabilize his foundation, Uncle Ji kept many lovers outside. Unfortunately, none of them turned out to be successful. He didn't dare to bring them home. " Zhang Li sighed. "Lingxi has shed countless tears because of this. Don't be fooled by her carefree attitude. In fact, she knows better than anyone else."
"She knows that she can't achieve anything in martial arts and doesn't want to fight for anything. She just wants to maintain her current status and lifestyle. Therefore, continuing to befriend Yan Zheke, who has a good relationship with her, is the most reasonable and practical choice. Especially when she has a really good boyfriend, the really good kind …"
Although Lou Cheng had been dealing with the Heavenly sons of the age recently, which made it seem like there were many young fighters at this level, in fact, there might not even be one in several provinces. At least among Zhang Li and Han Zhengcao, only Lin Que was slightly close to this level.
In a situation where a high-ranked Inhuman Dan stage fighter could be considered as the upper class of a province, it was normal for the Heavenly sons of the age who had a good chance of reaching physical invulnerability to be highly valued.
"Brother Li …" Han Zhengcao was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but gasp. "You've hidden your strength well!"
He could see things so clearly!
Zhang Li sneered. "My family has a lot of people. If they were stupid, they would have been swallowed long ago. How could I be the young master?"
Speaking of this, he sighed again. "I really envy Lou Cheng and the others now. They are strong and not afraid of scheming against each other … Anyway, I'm waiting for a chance to help him or be helped by him."
Either way, it could improve the relationship between both parties.
…
In the guest room of the Ji family's old house, Lou Cheng, who was under the nose of a physical invulnerability expert, didn't sneak into the bedroom. After washing up, he lay on the bed and received a call from his mother.
After chatting for a while, Qi Fang said mysteriously, "Your brother has hit the jackpot recently!"
"Huh?" Lou Cheng was dumbfounded.
Lou Yuanwei really succeeded in starting his business? He didn't say anything about it recently!
"Erzi expanded his business to Xiushan. He asked your brother to help and even gave him shares." Qi Fang gossiped excitedly.
She didn't feel jealous because her son was very successful after all. Others couldn't catch up to him easily.
Lou Cheng was stunned and asked doubtfully,
"Who's Erzi?"
Qi Fang didn't know what to say. After a while, she said, "He's a relative from Qingfu's hometown. He often comes to visit your grandpa and grandma."
"Ah, I remember! He's quite a nice guy. "Lou Cheng said perfunctorily.
"You have no taste. How could you ask your brother for help? Didn't you see how many things he has failed?" Qi Fang insisted that Lou Yuanwei didn't have the ability to start a business.
"It doesn't matter. It's not us who will suffer losses." Lou Cheng laughed.
"That's true. Also, your dad got promoted recently. Fatty Guo put him in charge of the whole factory and even gave him shares … Cheng, do you think it's because of you? You just won the national championship and Fatty Guo brought this up. What's that idiom? What's that … "Qi Fang wasn't well-educated.
"It's the icing on the cake." Lou Cheng added on behalf of his mother, "Fatty Guo is a nice guy. Didn't he help me in my hour of need?"
"That's true. Anyway, if he really asks you for help, don't worry about us. If you can help, just do it. If not, just forget it." Qi Fang said with concern.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lou Cheng answered with a smile.
When the phone was hung up and the surroundings were quiet, he sighed with emotion.
As he made his name in the national competition and gained the reputation of the favored fighter of the age, everything around him was changing. Maybe it had changed before, but it was definitely not as obvious as it was now. Without him saying anything, the fate of his relatives and friends had changed …
It was only now that Lou Cheng truly understood what it meant to have a change in status.
