Lou Cheng had just returned to the spectator stand when the flames were extinguished. Peng Leyun extended his right fist with a smile and gave him a fist bump.
"Impressive!"
There was no consolation, only praise.
"Impressive!" Ann Chaoyang did the same with similar words and actions.
Ren Li gave him a thumbs up after the fist bump.
"Thank you." Lou Cheng shook his head with a smile, the gloominess in his heart dissipating significantly.
At this moment, the leader, Zhong Ningtao, asked with concern, "How are you? How's your injury? Do you need to go to the emergency room? "
He had seen Lou Cheng spit out blood just now. Although the wound on his left fist had stopped bleeding, it still looked sinister.
"It's fine. It's just a superficial wound. It'll heal on its own in a couple of days." Lou Cheng waved his left fist and added, "The internal injury isn't serious either. I didn't take it head-on, but instead took a step back. I'll take some medicine later. I'll be fine before the transformation is complete."
Of course, he wouldn't be able to use his full strength in the third and fourth place matches the day after tomorrow. Luckily, his opponent was Gusai.
"That's good, that's good." Zhong Ningtao heaved a sigh of relief and pointed to the changing room. "Let's wash it first."
"Mm." Lou Cheng nodded and took back his phone. He saw Yan Zheke's dumbfounded expression.
"This is the first time I've seen Kaori Karasawa use Four Aerial Return …"
Lou Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "[Scratching head expression] That's true. I've never seen her use it before in all the videos I've watched. I've only heard that Xinzhai Sect has such a combo."
Yan Zheke replied, "Before she mastered 'Qi', she probably wouldn't have been able to hit four times in a row. After she mastered 'Qi', she hasn't encountered a situation where she needs to use 'Quadruple Return of Swallows'. To be able to force Kaori Karasawa to use 'Quadruple Return of Swallows', Brother Cheng is the best!"
"Pfft. You're beating around the bush just to comfort me?" Lou Cheng burst out laughing, his mood even more soothed.
He sent messages as he walked, keeping an eye on the road from the corner of his eyes. He walked steadily. Peng Leyun and the rest followed behind, intending to wait in the changing room. It was quite a mess outside as people were leaving.
"What else?" Yan Zheke rolled her eyes. "If you say that Kaori Karasawa is very strong and that it's normal for you to lose, or if you hug her tighter and tighter, then you say that it's not a crime for a man to cry? The earlier we can get third place, the earlier we can go home. We'll see our little fairy in September! "
"You make it sound like it's easy for me to beat Gusai," replied Lou Cheng.
"Isn't that so?" Yan Zheke replied with a blank expression.
"Let's not talk about the injuries. Gusai has them too. The main thing is that I want to experience the Heart Reflection Punch and the Fist of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
"Understood. You want to learn from Peng Leyun? It's only been a few days, and you've been led astray by him? Are you worthy of me? "Yan Zheke joked and" scolded "him.
"After this, I don't know when I'll be able to meet an expert from the Theravada Sect." Lou Cheng casually explained.
Normally speaking, he would always give it his all.
"Yes, yes, it's good to experience more." Yan Zheke sent a cute emoji of a little monster licking ice cream. "But you have to remember that the difference between third and fourth place is 100,000 RMB ~"
"F * ck, I don't want to experience anymore. I just want to defeat Gusai as soon as possible!" replied Lou Cheng humorously.
After that, Yan Zheke asked a few more questions about his injuries. After confirming that he was fine, she went back to class with a peace of mind.
As he approached the bathroom, Lou Cheng browsed through the live stream post. Seeing that there weren't many regrets but many exclamations, he quickly explained,
"… I was too engrossed and forgot to take pictures!"
Yes, I was too engrossed in the fight!
This excuse can only be used once …
"Haha, I also forgot about other things. It's not your fault, Little Tiger." "Wonton Seller" replied. [Waving handkerchief expression]
"Yeah, it was too f * cking exciting. Kaori Karasawa's Japanese Swordsmanship is amazing. Lou Cheng's prediction is even better!" replied "Unparalleled Dragon King".
"I suspect that Lou Cheng has discovered the signs of the Flying Dragon Takedown. That's insane!" said "Pig-Riding Knight".
Looking at their discussion, Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He planned to start anew after taking a shower.
Eh, where are Yan Xiaoling and Brahman? At this moment, he suddenly realized that his two loyal fans weren't among the communicators in the live stream post.
Puzzled, Lou Cheng entered his name and entered the fan forum.
As his gaze swept across the forum, he suddenly froze. This was because there were many similar posts on the front page of the forum, but they were from different people. Yan Xiaoling, "Brahman", "Nie Qiqi", "Bull Demon King", "All the Good Names Are Taken by Dogs", and other IDs lined up neatly and said,
"You're great!"
"You're great!"
"You're great!"
Lou Cheng swiped his thumb and saw that it wasn't just the front page. They had been posting screen after screen since the end of the competition. Even though they knew it was useless, they still tried their best.
Lou Cheng's vision blurred again. He was exceptionally moved by their pure love and unrepentant support.
They no longer paid attention to him on impulse or for fun.
They came from different corners of the world. They were strangers, yet so familiar!
Lou Cheng took a deep breath, put down his phone, turned on the shower, and washed off the sweat and blood on his body. His mood gradually calmed down.
Looking at the hideous wound on his fist, he couldn't help but feel relieved that there was no live stream in China. Otherwise, his mother would nag him to death if she didn't see him vomiting blood and suffering a deep wound that exposed his bones!
Hmm, I'll video call her later. I'll take the initiative to explain the situation and make it light. Otherwise, someone watching the live stream will mention it to her!
It's never a bad idea to take precautions!
After the shower, Lou Cheng ate the pills for internal injuries that Yan Zheke had strongly requested him to bring along. He also applied a large band-aid to his wound.
After changing his clothes and walking out of the bathroom, he saw that Peng Leyun wasn't in a daze but was playing a game on his phone. Remembering the Flying Dragon Takedown, he quickly reminded him.
"Before Kaori Karasawa's Flying Dragon Takedown, there will be a slight cracking sound. It sounds like she is compressing her fascia, bones, muscles, and force."
He was lucky to have noticed it. Without the Ice Mirror, who would notice the almost inaudible sound during an intense fight?
Similarly, if he didn't have a premonition of danger and knew that Kaori Karasawa was about to make a move, even with the Ice Mirror, he would have subconsciously ignored the tiny noise. He wouldn't have heard the cracking sound at all.
It wasn't for nothing that the signs of Flying Dragon Takedown hadn't been discovered for so many years!
Therefore, even if Peng Leyun knew about it beforehand, it was hard to say if he could grasp it.
Peng Leyun forgot about the game, lifted his head, and nodded thoughtfully.
"I see …"
Beside him, Ann Chaoyang smiled and said, "I feel like Kaori Karasawa's win wasn't worth it. For a few hundred thousand, you discovered one of the most important secrets of the Xinzhai Sect."
"Now that you mention it, even I'm a little scared …" replied Lou Cheng half-jokingly. "If they know that I discovered the signs of Flying Dragon Takedown, will they come after me?"
At this point, he answered his own question. "Not afraid. If they dare to come after me, I'll post it online. Let's see who's more ruthless!"
Peng Leyun chuckled at his words and started spacing out. After a long while, he finally came back to his senses. His expression changed.
"Sh * t … I screwed over my teammates …"
Haha, you're only suited for single player games! While Lou Cheng was complaining in his mind, Ren Li took the lead and pulled open the door to the changing room. She wanted to lead the way, but Zhong Ningtao quickly stopped her.
Creak. The door opened. Ren Li saw a mixed-blood beauty leading a camera team.
"Hehe, we meet again." Catherine smiled amiably.
Ren Li tilted her head. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall where she had seen her before. She could only pretend that they were familiar.
"Here for another interview?"
After saying this, she finally remembered who she was. Realization dawned on her. She added, "You're the reporter who spoke Chinese but didn't say it. You embarrassed Lou Cheng …"
At the mention of this, everyone burst into laughter. Lou Cheng scratched the back of his head and blushed again.
After that incident, he had browsed Shengxiang's website in an attempt to find news reports. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand Shengxiang's language and could only give up.
Catherine smiled. "That time, I only wrote a simple news report. Today, I'm here for an interview."
Two of the wild card team made it to the semi-finals, while one made it to the finals. An interview was necessary. Otherwise, how could they set the atmosphere for the finals?
That's good, that's good … Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled as he watched Peng Leyun become the main character of this interview.
With the experience from before, the interview this time went by the book without any "accidents". At the end of the interview, Catherine said with a smile, "Lou Cheng, you have a nickname in Japan."
"What?" Blurted Lou Cheng. He immediately regretted it. He should have asked if the nickname was good. If it wasn't, he wouldn't have listened!
Kathlyn smiled sweetly and said,
"The Demonic Beast from Nebula M78."
When she finished, she saw Lou Cheng's face darken a few shades.
After the interview, the wild card team returned to the hotel. Everyone went to their own rooms and did their own things.
After the video call with Qi Fang ended, Lou Cheng began to recall every detail of the battle with Kaori Karasawa. He analyzed the situation and summed up his gains and losses. Yan Zheke liked this kind of thing. She interacted with him from the perspective of a bystander.
The next morning, Lou Cheng, who had yet to recover from his injuries, continued his metamorphosis. During the sparring session in the morning, he held back and only did a warm-up.
When they gathered for lunch, Zhong Ningtao clapped his hands and said,
"We have an event in the afternoon. The organizing committee has invited us to visit the Golden Buddha Temple and interact with some of the monks and young boxers. This is an official event for the King of Youth Pro League. The top 16 should try their best to attend."
"Why didn't you mention this before?" asked Ann Chaoyang, puzzled.
Zhong Ningtao shook his head. "I don't know why either. This kind of official event happens every year. In the past, it was held after the finals. Who knew it would be brought forward this time."
"Yeah. I don't have anything going on in the afternoon anyway." Peng Leyun agreed with great interest after returning from "Outer Heaven".
Lou Cheng, Ann Chaoyang, and Ren Li followed suit.
