The successor of Xinzhai Sect, Kaori Karasawa, took eleven minutes to defeat the second seeded Veigar with half a move after the arena had turned into a mess. She was the first to advance to the semi-finals.
This intense battle gave the audience a new understanding of the two Inhuman Mighty Ones. Veigar, who had given it his all, was at least 30% stronger than when he had almost lost to Lou Cheng in the double-elimination round. It was breathtaking. On the other hand, the beautiful Kaori Karasawa's explosive power at the critical moment was even more terrifying. It was comparable to Peng Leyun's performance when he turned the tables on Arhat Wahku.
In the live stream post, Unparalleled Dragon King praised excitedly,
"Brilliant! Veigar is strong, but Kaori Karasawa is stronger! "
"Get a stool and wait for the match between Lou Cheng and that wretched guy." "Wonton Seller" was having a carefree time during the summer break of her third year of high school.
"Why wretched guy?" "Okamoto's Fan" seemed a little sensitive to this term.
"Wonton Seller" transformed into "Rolling Glutinous Dumpling" and said, "He's always hiding in the corner sneakily. That's why he's a wretched guy!"
"23333, well said! [Thumping the ground laughing expression]" replied "Brahman".
"Eternal Nightfall" Yan Xiaoling wandered over and said, "I'm waiting for the big shots to analyze the match …"
After saying this, she weakly added, "You're right.
"The fourth seeded guy only has one more seeded than the fifth seeded guy. He shouldn't be that much stronger …"
"They don't have the same fighting style, so there's no direct comparison." "Road to the Arena" explained to the little girl with a sense of accomplishment. "Mouko Yamashita is a head-on battle type, which suits Lou Cheng's taste. However, Banam likes to fight in close quarters and move around. He either doesn't give you the chance to use your big move, or makes it so that your big move can't hit him. Also, Ann Chaoyang mentioned on Weibo that Banam's" Darkness "can secretly weaken his opponent. The exact method is unknown. In other words, the longer Lou Cheng fights, the higher the chances of him losing."
"A Plumber Eating Mushrooms" chimed in, "So it's about a four to six chance of winning. Lou Cheng 40% and Banam 60%. Both of them have a chance of winning. Erm, Banam's fighting style is sinister and vicious. He's good at avoiding his opponent's strong points and attacking his weak points. Even if Lou Cheng wants to end the battle quickly, he probably won't be able to catch him. This is very dangerous …"
"That's right. With three minutes as the boundary. If Lou Cheng can't beat Banam in the first three minutes, then he won't be able to win!" "Pig-Riding Knight" agreed. "Even if Force Concentration can effectively neutralize Weakness, it can't withstand the accumulation of Weakness!"
His girlfriend, "Above the Sky", said, "I'm looking forward to the first three minutes of the match. It will definitely be more intense than the previous one!"
"What they said is what I want to say," Unparalleled Dragon King said in a comical manner.
"Then I'll probably suffocate for three minutes …" Yan Xiaoling replied. [Hugging head, kneeling on the ground, trembling expression]
"Brahman" immediately said, "I'm so nervous that I can't eat my snacks!"
…
As they chatted and discussed, time passed by slowly. The second round of the quarter-finals was about to begin.
"It's about to start," Lou Cheng glanced at the electronic clock, smiled and exhaled. He said to Yan Zheke on QQ.
She should still be on her way to school.
The girl replied quickly without delay. This time, she sent a picture of the oven again. Inside it were all kinds of unattractive biscuits,
"Good luck!"
"Pfft, it's really the oven series?" Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed.
Yan Zheke smiled and said, "Of course, I'm a man of my words ~ But I've only tried the cake and biscuits now, there's no third picture. If you want to cheer for me in another way, then fight for the next round!"
"Sure!" Lou Cheng replied resolutely with a smile.
This is a good way to cheer for me!
After finishing his sentence, he locked the screen and passed his phone and wallet to Ann Chaoyang. He reached out his hand and gave him a high five.
"Good luck!" Ann Chaoyang smiled and waved his fist.
Peng Leyun and Ren Li, who were standing on his left and right, did the same. After a high five, they waved their fist and said,
"Good luck!"
"Okay!" Lou Cheng nodded vigorously. He turned around and was about to walk to the arena.
At this moment, Ann Chaoyang realized that his phone screen was locked. He shouted in confusion,
"Lou Cheng? I don't need to help you take pictures and post today? "
"Yes." Lou Cheng turned around and smiled. "I've already thought of a reason."
If I let you unreliable people do it two more times, I'll lose the game!
"What reason?" Ann Chaoyang asked in surprise. Ren Li was also curious and listened attentively.
"Hehe, I'll tell you after the match." Lou Cheng didn't say anything else. He turned around and waved his hand. He walked towards the arena step by step. He started to focus and his momentum gradually gathered. His thoughts were running fast.
According to the discussions with Yan Zheke, Peng Leyun, Ren Li and Ann Chaoyang, he already had a mature plan for the upcoming match.
To deal with Banam, he had to end the battle quickly. He didn't want to be gradually weakened by the Darkness. He had to watch himself fail little by little. At the same time, he couldn't be too hasty. Once he was hasty, it would be easy for assassin-type fighters to seize the opportunity and take him down in one strike!
This was the overall strategy, but he couldn't be careless about the details. Although he could now infuse his every move with Fire Force and use high temperature to denaturalize proteins and make them lose their toxicity, the principle behind the weakening effect of Banam's "Darkness" was unknown. It could only be based on poison.
If it was similar to Ren Li's Hidden Scent or some special wave, then he wouldn't be able to defend himself. He could only rely on Breath Holding or Force Concentration to neutralize the effect. He had to finish off his opponent as soon as possible.
As for how to end the battle quickly, Lou Cheng also had a general idea. Banam probably didn't know that he had mastered the Ice Mirror, just like how he didn't know that Ann Chaoyang had mastered the Lake and Mirror Wisdom. He only understood it after the first battle!
Martial arts like the Ice Mirror and the Lake and Mirror Wisdom belonged to the auxiliary category. Without experiencing it personally, it would be hard to notice it just by watching the battle videos. Moreover, both parties were from different countries. There would definitely be some gaps in the information collected. Therefore, during the battle with Ann Chaoyang, Banam had used the Darkness ability to affect his senses to launch a sneak attack. He had wasted this opportunity.
According to his style, if he didn't consider the Ice Mirror, he would definitely try something similar in this match. It was just that he would be more cautious and roundabout than when he fought Ann Chaoyang.
And this is my chance!
A chance for him to walk right into my trap!
Once I get the upper hand and seize the opportunity to win, I have to be extremely aggressive and grab hold of it!
With all kinds of thoughts, Lou Cheng kept jumping up and down. When he was nearing the arena, Lou Cheng collected his thoughts and focused his attention on what was in front of him.
He knew that Banam had the means to avoid the suppression of his aura. Therefore, he held back the terror of the blizzard and waited for the right opportunity.
Tap, tap, tap. He walked steadily to the predetermined position and saw Banam, with his hands and feet wrapped in white bandages, walking towards him silently with the gaze of a hunter sizing up his prey.
This kind of gaze is really annoying. I really want to beat him up … Lou Cheng complained to himself. He quickly calmed his mind and removed all distracting thoughts from his mind.
When Banam entered the arena, the referee silently counted to thirty seconds. He raised his right hand, looked around and swung it down fiercely,
"Begin!"
Lou Cheng stomped his feet, straightened his knees, spun his waist and shook his body. His entire body was like an explosive blizzard, blowing towards his opponent with a whistling sound.
In the recent few days of sparring, he had been interacting with Peng Leyun, Ren Li and Ann Chaoyang. Other than the core things, they were free to talk about them. They were able to stimulate their thoughts and generate inspiration. Everyone had learned a lot. For example, he had mixed in the superficial knowledge of the Flash Attack and some of the wonders of the Wind Sect Movement Technique. He had pushed his Northern Wind to another level!
Good companions could really make a person better. It was the same in the path of martial arts!
Phew!
A strong gust of wind blew, cutting his face like knives. In Banam's eyes, Lou Cheng was approaching him at a terrifying speed, from small to large.
His body seemed to be drifting as he took a step to the side. At this moment, the light in front of Lou Cheng suddenly disappeared. The sounds by his ears also disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, it was as though the Shengxiang stadium had experienced a blackout. Furthermore, all the spectators had silently died on the spot. It made one's hair stand on end. It was exceptionally terrifying.
Lou Cheng had already expected this. He stopped in his tracks abruptly and went from a high-speed state to a standstill. He adjusted his muscles and directed all the momentum towards the arena floor.
Under normal circumstances, he should have heard the sharp sounds of friction and shattering. However, the surroundings were silent. All the noise seemed to have been swallowed by the strange darkness.
The lake in Lou Cheng's heart had already condensed into a crystal clear mirror that reflected his surroundings. He wasn't affected by the "loss" of his senses.
A ripple appeared and he immediately locked onto the direction of Banam's attack. However, the subtle premonition that came from his body and mind told him that this was a feint and not the real killer move.
Lou Cheng believed in this premonition and didn't make any moves. As expected, that ripple quickly calmed down. A turbulent wave followed closely behind and almost disrupted the ice mirror!
Good move! I've been waiting for you! A thought flashed through Lou Cheng's mind. Immediately, a boundless darkness appeared in his mind. It had the coldest coldness and the quietest atmosphere. However, it made one feel transparent and dreamy.
In this kind of darkness, dust accumulated and heavily collapsed. Streams of flames shot out, forming a scorching and terrifying Yan Di Divine Statue. It illuminated the heavens, transmitted warmth, and erupted with an enormous rumbling sound.
This brought about a dazzling light and an even more intense collapse!
A mutated version of Severe Warning!
Lou Cheng was waiting for Banam to attack him in the dark and give him a Severe Warning!
The first attack of the match!
Bam!
He turned his body halfway. The muscles on his right arm bulged and vibrated at high speed. He swept backwards and hit a slightly cold fist made of flesh.
Poof! As though the darkness was absorbed, the lights in the stadium lit up again. Astonishment flashed across Banam's cold eyes. He felt as though there was a terrifying mini vortex or heavy ball hidden in his opponent's fist. It devoured all of his strength and sucked in his arm tightly!
Boom!
The whirlpool exploded and the violent shockwave spread out rapidly. It was like a huge iron hammer that smashed into Banam, causing blood to flow out from the corner of his mouth. He lost his balance and was sent flying backward.
This was the result of a move that leaned towards sneak attacks and a simplified physical invulnerability move in a head-on collision!
Lou Cheng's eyes lit up. His Qi and blood suddenly retracted. He stomped on the ground and pounced forward with a cracking sound. He was as fast as a high-speed train and landed in front of Banam who had just landed on the ground. The strong wind he stirred up could even blow a child away!
Before Banam could stand firmly, he was already swaying in the wind and rain. A dim light flashed in his eyes and condensed into a sharp spike. He was about to shoot towards Lou Cheng and attack his mind secretly!
Lou Cheng had Absolute Reaction and immediately noticed it. However, he didn't draw the Forwarding Formula to suppress his mind and defend against the secret art. Instead, he raised his hand to form a seal and visualized the Army Blade!
Attack against attack and not give in!
This was the aggressiveness he wanted to show!
He wanted to seize the opportunity and grab the fruit of victory in his hands!
"Army!"
As the deep ancient voice reverberated, Lou Cheng was hit by the Serene Sting. The light in his eyes dimmed as though he had fallen into a nightmare. The Ice Mirror in his heart shattered inch by inch and neutralized most of the impact. On the other hand, Banam's body was trembling. Fear was written all over his face. He was trembling in fear and had forgotten the situation he was in.
With the neutralization of the Ice Mirror, Lou Cheng was the first to recover. He took a deep breath and gathered the fear, fear, and panic brought by the Serene Sting together with his Qi and blood, spirit, and force to his lower abdomen.
Boom!
His Dan force gushed out like an awakening volcano. Lou Cheng grew taller as though he was filled with blood. His muscles propped up his clothes and showed a twisted state. He was full of masculinity. Many in the audience were swayed as they experienced the beauty of strength.
The usually gentle and easy-going young man was extremely manly at this moment!
Bam! Lou Cheng's muscles tightened and he visualized a thick thundercloud in his mind. He shook his right arm and swung it towards his opponent with the Thunder Roar Zen.
Banam had just suffered internal injuries from the mutated version of Severe Warning. Thunder Roar Zen was the best way to aggravate and trigger the impact!
The second strike of Fire-like Invasion!
Seeing the fist smashing towards him like a mountain, Banam stimulated his Qi and blood and ignited his strength. He quickly raised his arm to block.
Bam!
Amidst the loud noise, he jumped a little from the hit. His organs were shaken and the smell of rust filled his throat.
Lou Cheng's eyes were firm. He swung his arm and once again tightened his Qi and force, completing the explosion of Dan Stage. He didn't give Banam any hope of dodging or counterattacking. He continued to tighten his muscles and punch forward.
The third strike of Thunder Roar Zen!
Bam! Banam was good at close-range fighting. He couldn't use his chain attacks at all. He could only grit his teeth and awaken the potential in his body. His fist glowed with a faint black light and burst out from his ribs to welcome the enemy's attack.
Bam!
As the two fists collided, he trembled. His Qi and blood were in turmoil and his head was almost dizzy. Following the momentum of the enemy, he slid backwards.
Just as Lou Cheng was about to close in and give chase, darkness filled his eyes again. The surroundings became quiet again and he lost track of Banam in an instant.
At this moment, this Inhuman Mighty One from Southern Zheng was looking for an opportunity to break away from contact and regroup!
If I don't attack, I won't be able to sense him, right?
Lou Cheng's expression didn't change. His muscles, fascia, and organs changed accordingly. The image of the heavy and hot Emperor Yan Statue appeared in his mind and allowed the Flame Force to take shape.
Following which, he shook his wrist and shot a ball of red and white compressed fireball in front of the Ice Mirror mark.
Boom!
The loud noise broke the silence and disturbed the darkness, causing it to lose its support and fade away quickly.
In an instant, Lou Cheng saw rolling waves of fire and smoke. He also saw Banam, whose movements were affected by the explosion of Emperor Yan Force.
Kacha!
He took a step forward and formed a seal with both hands. In the lake in his heart, he wrote the ancient words of "Never Admit Defeat".
"Fighting!"
Lou Cheng roared and attacked step by step. Every move of his unique skill was unforgiving!
The fourth strike with all his might!
Bam! His muscles were knotted and it was as though he had transformed into a mountain-splitting giant. He swung his huge axe downwards.
With a bang, Banam, who had hurriedly raised his arms to block, was smashed into the ground. He was an inch shorter and dark red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Again! Lou Cheng took advantage of his weakness and took his life. He took half a step forward, raised both hands and formed a seal with both hands.
"Fighting!"
He exhaled solemnly. His arms swelled instantly and his muscles were unusually distinct. He then shook his arm violently and executed a Crushing Punch with Zen Tremor.
The fifth strike was unstoppable!
Banam's eyes flickered. He hugged his arms and made a twisting gesture to welcome the enemy's fist.
Boom!
There seemed to be an explosion at the spot. Banam almost spat out blood. He took advantage of the recoil, curled his body into a ball and flew backwards.
Bam! Lou Cheng used the Attainment Formula. With a stomp of his feet, he chased after him amidst the sound of flying rocks. He closed the distance in an instant.
The coldness in Banam's eyes intensified. While he was flying, he was prepared. Before he landed on the ground, he had already extended his right hand. It was covered with a layer of faint black light, forming a strange yet distinct contrast with the white bandage.
The faint black light converged towards his opened five fingers quickly and condensed into a deep black color. It turned into pieces of "sharp thorns" and was about to grab Lou Cheng's fist.
This was Banam's trump card. Once he grabbed it, he would immediately lose his strength temporarily.
At that time, he could take advantage of the situation to tear and cripple the enemy's arm!
Of course, this would also cause him to suffer a backlash. Unless it was a last resort, or if he had the chance to win in one strike, he was more than willing to use "Darkness" to gradually weaken his opponent!
At this moment, it was the former situation. At the critical moment, he had to seek victory in defeat!
Seeing those black fingers that made one's scalp go numb, Lou Cheng suddenly stopped. He "accumulated" his inertia and created a sharp friction sound.
However, he didn't stop to avoid it. Instead, he stopped to buy time for visualization!
A scorching hot, heavy, and terrifying Statue of Emperor Yan appeared in his mind. It was like a huge sun, compressing the Flame Force in his body into a ball.
Following which, Fire God Zhurong stepped out of the void with a crimson dragon under his feet. He suppressed the loss of control that was about to explode. Lou Cheng took a small leap and faced Banam's palm that was flickering with dim light. He swung his arm backwards, and with the momentum, he threw out a punch with a bang.
Internal Explosion Punch!
Not retreating for the sixth strike!
At this moment, if he didn't dare to fight head-on, he would give Banam a chance to catch his breath and turn the tide of the battle!
As for Lou Cheng, he was a Martial Artist who had experienced life and death battles. He was determined and dared to risk his life!
His fist broke through the air barrier and created a layer of flames from friction. It dragged out a white "wave" and hit the palm that was flickering with faint black light. Their skin was touching and their strength was balanced.
At the same time as the Flame Force gushed in, Banam's palms made a closing motion. His five fingers protruded with tiny muscles and veins as he firmly grabbed Lou Cheng's fist. A strange glow flashed by.
Boom!
It was as though a bomb exploded in Banam's body. The injuries and concussions from before were completely triggered. His Qi and blood were boiling, his organs were shaking, his mind was buzzing, his throat was thick with rust, and his vision was blurred.
He almost bent over and fell to the ground. He didn't have the strength to grab and tear his enemy apart!
As for Lou Cheng, the flames that covered his fist burned away part of the black light. Only his body felt weak and his mind wasn't affected much.
He held on, using his willpower to control his mind and his mind to control his body. He withdrew his Qi and blood, gathered his Force, and suppressed his weakness!
Boom!
With the explosion of Dan Force, he recovered part of his strength. His muscles were distinct and sweaty.
Bam! He visualized the thundercloud again and struck out his right arm in the opposite direction.
Seventh strike of Thunder Roar Zen!
Bam!
Banam, who was barely resisting, jumped and spat out blood from his throat. He fell to the ground softly. Lou Cheng lifted him with his toes and held on to his throat.
The referee looked at both parties deeply. He raised his right hand and announced,
"Lou Cheng wins!"
Lou Cheng won after ten moves!
Lou Cheng retracted his right leg weakly. Seeing that Banam was barely standing, he saluted and returned to the spectator stand without stopping.
After he took a few steps, the audience finally reacted. They exclaimed loudly and cheered Lou Cheng's name again.
He actually defeated the fourth seed in such a short time!
Lou Cheng's footsteps weren't slow. He returned to his original position in no time. He bumped fists with Peng Leyun and the rest who were stunned and didn't know what to say. He took back his phone.
He first sent a smiley face to Yan Zheke and said,
"I won!"
Then, he switched to the live post interface. He saw that Little Wonton and the rest had tagged him many times and requested to take photos.
His fingers moved quickly as he typed. Lou Cheng replied with a smile,
"I didn't even have time to take a picture before the competition ended …"
This was the reason he prepared.
