Amidst the cheers of those who understood and those who didn't, Lou Cheng took a deep breath and shook his aching arm. He came back to reality from his numb state and accepted his defeat.
He felt that he should be happy. To be able to force Veigar, who had reached the Inhuman stage more than a year ago, to the brink of defeat twice was definitely something to be proud of. He could leave with his head held high.
However, he couldn't bring himself to be happy. His heart was filled with faint sighs and regrets.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more …
There were no problems with my choice of tactics, judgment and improvisation. In fact, they could even be considered outstanding. But there was still a little bit of difference. I couldn't grasp the opportunity to win …
Logic told him that this was already the best result. If he hadn't cautiously used the Ice Armor, his arm might have fractured in the last two heavy blows and he would have to bid farewell to the King of Youth Pro League early. However, Lou Cheng was still unwilling to give up. He desperately wanted to make up for that little bit of difference.
And now, the most practical and possible way was to grasp the essence and charm of the Emperor Yan Diagram as soon as possible. He wanted to elevate the Zhurong Force and begin the transformation of his body.
Thoughts whirling in his head, he gave Veigar a post-match salute and turned to the edge. He walked down the stone steps and came before the match supervisor.
Before he could speak, the supervisor took out his wallet and handed it back to him.
Seeing the wallet alone, Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment. He was about to send a message to Yan Zheke. Then he realized that his phone wasn't with him. He had given it to his teammates to take pictures.
He shook his head and laughed. Keeping the wallet, he walked back to where Peng Leyun and the rest were, gradually recovering from the electric shock.
In the arena, the majestic Veigar looked deeply at Lou Cheng's retreating figure. He walked to the center of the arena and picked up the dusty and tattered general's hat. He flicked it a few times but didn't put it back on. He turned and left, not even lingering in the Shengxiang stadium.
"Amazing (Shikoku)!" On the Japanese's side, the samurais who were watching the match exclaimed in awe.
Ichiei Sakata's face was pale. He was even more shocked than when he lost to Lou Cheng yesterday. He knew that the gap between them wasn't small, but he didn't expect it to be so big that it made him feel hopeless. In the battle just now, Lou Cheng, who wasn't at the Inhuman stage, had displayed strength close to the Inhuman stage. There was a fundamental difference between them!
How did he do it?
He really hadn't advanced yet!
Using Arcana?
I have some too …
I used to be called a 'monster', but now I have to admit that some people are the real 'monsters' …
Mouko Yamashita retracted his expression and turned to look at his fellow disciples.
"Yirongjun, if Lou Cheng can reach this level at this stage, you can too! Don't be in a hurry to cultivate 'wave'. Once you reach his current level, things will be much simpler. "
"Yes …" Ichiei Sakata was touched, but his tone was not confident enough.
Mouko Yamashita raised his thick eyebrows and said in a deep voice,
"Our Extreme Hadou Sect doesn't need cowards!"
"Yes!" Ichiei Sakata shivered, his expression turning solemn.
…
In the live stream thread of the Longhu Club forum, everyone had already forgotten about the small incident from before. Once again, they were passionately discussing the battle between Veigar and Lou Cheng.
"What a pity. (Biting her handkerchief with tears in her eyes)" Wonton Seller was the first to post.
"It is indeed a pity, I even thought that Lou Cheng could win just now …" Unparalleled Dragon King replied. "In the future, we will have to divide the realms further. Between the Inhuman and Normal Dan stage, and between the Fifth Pin and the Sixth Pin, there will be a separate category. This category will be called Lou Cheng!"
Road to the Arena said, "Damn it, my understanding of the world was almost overturned by him … If it was someone who had just advanced to the Inhuman stage, he might have really won!"
"I feel that Lou Cheng is about to break through …" Pig-Riding Knight suggested a possibility seriously.
"How is that possible, even a rocket wouldn't be that fast!" A Plumber Eating Mushrooms followed with a spitting expression.
"That's right, breaking through also needs to follow the fundamentals!" Invincible Punch added.
This guess was quickly "drowned out". "Brahman" said with a "bouncing" voice.
"I know that my idol has done well to achieve this level, but I was still gloomy and unhappy just now. But seeing you guys praise him, I'm happy again! Continue to praise me, I can take it! Eternal Nightfall, come and see! "
"… I saw it long ago, I was busy building and praying that Lou Cheng won't get an Inhuman in the next round!" Yan Xiaoling took the time to reply.
…
Somewhere in the stands, Lou Cheng walked towards Peng Leyun and high-fived him.
"I've always found Veigar an eyesore. I thought he looked pretty cool in a police cap. But now he doesn't have one," said Peng Leyun humorously, complimenting Lou Cheng tactfully.
Sure enough, other than being in a daze and challenging others, the Great Devil King was just like the rumors. He was an easy-going and easy to get along with … Lou Cheng found Peng Leyun's words very down-to-earth and couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Ann Chaoyang also high-fived him.
"Brilliant!"
"Haha, I was so focused on your match that I forgot to take a picture."
Take a picture … Lou Cheng thought of something and asked with a smile,
"So, you forgot to help me post?"
"Nope, we still remember this. Ren Li is the best at taking pictures, so we passed the task to her," Ann Chaoyang, who had brought his own digital camera, answered without blushing at all.
Hearing herself mentioned, Ren Li took a step forward and passed the phone to Lou Cheng. She nodded heavily.
"Someone was badmouthing you in the forum previously, so I helped you to scold them!"
"Huh?" Lou Cheng was confused. When he realized what might have happened, he suddenly had a bad feeling. He lowered his head, unlocked the screen, entered the forum, clicked on the live broadcast post and scrolled through the content.
Thank you so much … The corners of his mouth twitched as he hurriedly replied, "Thank you.
"… The person who spoke just now wasn't me! I wasn't hacked, but I felt that my photography skills weren't good enough, so I asked someone for help. I didn't expect her to 'help' me post … "
"Her? Little Tiger, did you ask your girlfriend for help? "" Wonton Seller "followed with an" I knew it "emoji.
"So it's a girl, no wonder she's so sensitive," Unparalleled Dragon King suddenly realized.
Girlfriend? Lou Cheng quickly denied,
"No, it's another friend."
"Another female friend? Tiger, not bad, bringing another female friend on a trip! "Okamoto's Fan said in a rather flirtatious tone.
"… You're thinking too much! There are other friends too, "Lou Cheng emphasized.
Okamoto's Fan said with an "angry smile" emoji, "You don't have to explain this, just tell me if she's pretty. If she's pretty, I don't mind being scolded by her. "
"She's okay," Lou Cheng replied hesitantly.
The conversation just now made him a little scared, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he had learned from those long-distance relationships that once two people were too far apart, their trust and sense of security would become fragile, and they couldn't withstand suspicion again and again. Therefore, if they wanted to go on steadily, both parties had to understand the word "avoid suspicion". Even if they had a clear conscience, they had to consider the possibility that they would do something untoward. Taking the initiative to stay away from things that would arouse their partner's suspicion and put them in a bad mood, so as to avoid arousing suspicion and causing trouble.
A person's freedom is always relative, especially when you have a partner!
Should I tell Ke about this?
If I don't tell her, she probably won't know, and this matter will pass quietly …
But if she finds out about this on a whim, even if she doesn't say it, she should have some thoughts in her mind …
Thoughts churning, Lou Cheng quickly made a decision. He switched to the QQ interface and told Yan Zheke about his loss to Veigar.
Yan Zheke replied with a "hug" emoji. "I saw some of it just now, and I thought you could win … Not bad, when you transform, you will definitely win!"
She comforted her Cheng in this way.
After a round of tender and encouraging words, Lou Cheng took the initiative to say,
"F * ck, Peng Leyun got me into trouble!"
After sending this message, he glanced at Peng Leyun and said in his heart,
Comrade Leyun, the organization has decided, you'll take the blame!
"What's wrong with him?" Yan Zheke replied with an emoji of a cat hugging a salted fish.
"Didn't Unparalleled Dragon King and the rest ask me to take photos for the live broadcast? Before I went to the competition, I asked for Peng Leyun's help, but he didn't expect him to be so irresponsible and threw the responsibility to Ren Li. In the end, Ren Li quarreled with someone in the live broadcast thread, and I almost couldn't explain. "Lou Cheng replied.
"Pfft … They're so unreliable … Ren Li is usually so quiet, why would she quarrel with someone?" Yan Zheke replied with an emoji of "I'm so scared that I dropped my dried fish".
As Lou Cheng's competition was early today, it wasn't time for her class yet. She opened the forum and browsed through the live broadcast thread, and unconsciously bit her lip.
"I heard from Peng Leyun and Ann Chaoyang that Ren Li is especially good at insulting people online …" Lou Cheng threw the blame to her.
"Quite a contrast … I feel a little cute. [Covering mouth and laughing expression]" Yan Zheke replied. "What kind of person is Ren Li normally?"
This question made Lou Cheng feel a lot of pressure. He pondered for a while and organized his words.
"She's quite muddle-headed, but very confident in everything. Because she's too bad with directions, the team leader has been following her, and didn't have much contact with us."
"I see … She's quite different from what I imagined her to be. [Scratching chin with hand and rolling eyes expression]" Yan Zheke replied.
She exhaled, shook her head and laughed softly. She changed the topic and didn't continue to pester him.
At this time, she received another message from Huang Xiwen, her classmate who went abroad with her.
"Let's get together tonight? There's a ball at Tom's house. Many of our fellow villagers will come, and there will be famous seniors and seniors from our school. "
Yan Zheke didn't hesitate and replied directly,
"I don't really like crowded places."
"Seriously, what's the point of staying at home all the time? You don't even know a single classmate, how are you going to integrate into the class? You can't always be a loner, you'll be isolated! If anything happens in the future, you won't be able to find anyone to help you! Dress up properly, come and relax, and adjust your mood. "Huang Xiwen persuaded.
I don't think there's any meaning in having a good relationship with my classmates … After Yan Zheke typed this sentence, she felt that it was too harsh, so she deleted and rewrote it.
After she was done, she read it again and felt that her words were too soft, and her attitude wasn't clear and firm enough. So she deleted it again and typed again,
"I'm indeed a very boring person, I hate crowds and it's boring. But I like it very much. It allows me to study in peace. Don't inform me of similar gatherings in the future. I'm really not interested."
After reading it a few times and making some changes, she clicked "send" and felt relaxed.
Really, my good intentions are taken for granted! Huang Xiwen looked at the message and put down her phone angrily. She said to the two guys in front of her,
"She's not coming. She's a very boring and gloomy person. Yes, the kind of old lady who doesn't know how to smile!"
…
In the Shengxiang stadium, Peng Leyun noticed that Lou Cheng was looking at him. He touched his cheek doubtfully and said,
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
Comrade Leyun, you're a good scapegoat!
Peng Leyun frowned slightly and shook his head. He decided not to continue the topic with this weird guy.
At this moment, a match had ended. It was his turn to fight the seeded player, Li Shaokang.
