Lou Cheng found a bunch of videos and combined them with the information. He watched them intently, dissecting, analyzing and reorganizing them in his mind.
Half an hour later, he shook his head tiredly and tapped on the table, muttering to himself, "There are too many videos. It's impossible to watch them all. But I don't know which ones are the most important and representative …"
The Listening Skill required one to meditate and be absolutely focused. It consumed a lot of mental energy and wasn't something the Jindan could make up for. Therefore, after the fight with Wu Shitong, Lou Cheng, who had been racking his brains to chat, felt sleepy.
While in a dilemma, he suddenly had an idea. He opened the favorites folder and entered the forum of Longhu Club.
"Road to the Arena" Zhou Yuanning would definitely do the same if he were to look for his opponent's battle videos. With so much relevant content available, he was very likely to ask for help from the humanoid database, "Unparalleled Dragon King", for his opinion. Zhou Yuanning could secretly learn from him!
In the live broadcast post of the Phoenix Cup Warrior Sage Candidate Challenge Tournament, when "Invincible Punch" announced that Lou Cheng was one of the opponents of "Road to the Arena" in the group stage, the viewers who were not interested in his match videos before were filled with the desire to participate.
"Master Road, it's time to wash away the shame of our forum!" Don't be a hooligan sent an emoji with a red scarf around its head.
"Beautiful World" replied, "That Lou Cheng dared to bully our Little Fist. Now it's time for him to pay for what he did!"
Outspoken also said, "I was very upset when I saw Lou Cheng win against Wudi. Master Road, you have to teach him a lesson!"
"Uncle Road to the Arena, can I take a picture with my new idol before the fight? I can't see his face in the previous fight highlights! "Brahman said excitedly.
The moderator, Pig-Riding Knight sent an emoji knocking on the head again. "You little guy, how dare you side with an outsider!"
"Pig-Riding Uncle, I didn't! You wronged me! Look at my wronged eyes! I just want to take a picture with Uncle Road to the Arena. I still support him to win. My new idol is not as good as a Professional Ninth Pin fighter. "Brahman sent a crying emoji.
I'm also a member of the forum. I can't be biased … Lou Cheng wiped his "bitter tears" and browsed through the many replies supporting Road to the Arena to defeat him. He saw the suggestion offered by Unparalleled Dragon King at the end.
"Master Road, I've browsed through the Warrior Sage Challenge Tournament's official website and found that Wang Ye from your group is very strong. His Iron Palm can be said to be unstoppable. Among the Professional Ninth Pin fighters, he's not an ordinary one. I have a few related videos here. Take a look, you should learn something."
"Road to the Arena" immediately sent a handshake emoji. "Old Dragon, I was just about to ask you about this. Damn it, the people upstairs are just a bunch of big water brushes. You can't expect them to come up with a plan!"
Hehe, I'm also waiting! Lou Cheng opened the videos one by one. He paused and buffered them first before continuing to watch the discussions that followed.
"Unparalleled Dragon King" said with a funny expression, "I'm just an armchair strategist. I don't have as much combat experience as you, Master Road, but I can still help you find information."
"Old Dragon, what do you think about my chances of winning against Wang Ye?" "Road to the Arena" hadn't participated in a competition for many years. After suddenly encountering a strong opponent of Professional Ninth Pin, he seemed to be a little nervous.
According to Lou Cheng's judgment, 20: 8 was the best he could do. "Road to the Arena 2: 8, Wang Ye 8." But he was watching the video, so he didn't want to pretend to be an onlooker and express his opinion. He had to silently wait for "Unparalleled Dragon King" to reply. "Probably 30: 7. My personal opinion is not accurate."
"I also think 30: 7." "A Plumber Eating Mushrooms" chimed in.
"Pig-Riding Knight", the moderator of the forum, also said, "You've been idle for several years. It's already very good that you can have a 30: 7 ratio with Wang Ye, a Professional Ninth Pin fighter."
"I know. Alas, if I met him in my heyday …" "Road to the Arena" sighed. "How do you think I should fight with him?"
"Pig-Riding Knight" said, "Of course you should play to the strength of" Wuthering Eight Movements ". You should use your graceful and agile footwork to fight. Even if he catches a chance, you should be able to block a few of his attacks with the outbreak of Horrible Hurricane, right? As long as you delay, you will lose if you keep defending. Then your chance will come. "
Lou Cheng nodded slightly. This was also the way he planned to fight. But with Wang Ye's terrifying Iron Palm, even if he used "Mega Avalanche" and "Lightning and Fire Stance", he would not be able to block more than a few of his attacks. Alas, this was also the helplessness of the weak in the situation where the gap between their strength was too big.
"Road to the Arena" also replied with a helpless sigh. "If I was in my heyday, I would have no problem fighting like this. But now, my strength is very low, and I have been fighting for four days. Today there are two matches in one day. I will lose if I can't wait for Wang Ye."
"Master Road, to tell you the truth, don't take it to heart. Just listen to me. Well, strategically give up the match with Wang Ye and save your energy for the last match. The key for you to enter the top 16 is not Wang Ye, but Lou Cheng and Tang Yue," replied "Unparalleled Dragon King".
Well, after reading this sentence, Lou Cheng realized how stupid he was. He had never thought of giving up the match with Wang Ye. He had never considered that once he was injured by the Iron Palm, the following matches would be a gift to his opponent.
Although he was not injured today, his wrist that was pinched by Wu Shitong still hurt faintly. If he was hit by the Iron Palm, it would be unimaginable.
"Strategically giving up seems to be a good idea?"
With this thought, Lou Cheng was like being tempted by the devil. He almost decided that tomorrow was just a formality and a pretense.
But at this moment, he remembered why he did not consider this at the beginning.
"I came here to experience the competition. The prize money is good, and I am eager for it. But this is not my most fundamental purpose. Is it wrong to give up when facing a Professional Ninth Pin fighter? Shouldn't I rack my brains and play to my strengths? Even if I lose, I have to lose beautifully. Only in this way can I detect my shortcomings, learn from the competition experience, temper my own martial arts, and accumulate nutrients for future progress … "
"Not bullying the weak, not yielding to the strong. Without the spirit of a fighter, how can I overcome the difficulties in cultivation one after another?"
After thinking about it for a while, Lou Cheng exhaled and showed a relaxed smile.
One match at a time. Tomorrow I will concentrate on the fight with Wang Ye and not think about the following matches.
"I am so stupid!"
After making the decision, he calmed down and looked down at the Road to the Arena's reply.
"Old Dragon, I know you are right. As long as I can beat Tang Yue and Lou Cheng, it doesn't matter whether I win or not. I can still enter the top 16. It is better to strategically give up and save my strength to increase the odds of winning the last match. However, although I like to boast, be a little arrogant, and have no perseverance, I always consider myself as a fighter."
"As a martial artist, fighting with a strong enemy is something that makes one's blood boil and fascinates. I will fight with Wang Ye well!"
Lou Cheng sighed with emotion. He did not expect the boastful Road to the Arena to have such a side. Fighter is really a wonderful word.
"Master Road, I understand. That is why I am an amateur and you are a professional fighter." Unparalleled Dragon King said.
Road to the Arena replied with a funny expression, "The main reason is that the top 16 only get 5,000 yuan. If there were dozens of millions of yuan, I might strategically give up."
Lou Cheng was amused and almost laughed out loud. But if the top 16 get dozens of millions of yuan, even a fighter of Professional Eighth Pin would not dare to expect to enter the top 16, because there would be stronger fighters.
What kind of position could lead to what kind of temptation? As an amateur, he did not need to consider so much.
A Plumber Eating Mushrooms said, "Master Road, I didn't like to call you that before. Now I sincerely admire you. Fight with Wang Ye well. Whether you win or lose, I will toast you with a bottle of wine when we meet in the future. Now, let's talk about Tang Yue and Lou Cheng. Hehe, I feel like we are gathering our wisdom and experience to break through."
"I am gathering wisdom and experience with Yan Zheke. I won't argue with you …" Lou Cheng complained.
"Tang Yue is good at the shape of Divine Elephant. He is tall and heavy, has amazing leg strength and terrifying collision. It is absolutely right to treat him as the weak Wang Ye." Pig-Riding Knight joined in the discussion. "As for Lou Cheng, I have watched two videos of his matches and found that his most fundamental strengths are two. One is his amazing talent in meditation. According to you in the arena, he has reached the level of great success in meditation. The other is his abnormal physical strength. It may be related to supernatural ability, or it may be because of his talent."
"Uncle Pig-Riding Knight's analysis is right. All the martial arts strength that Lou Cheng has shown is based on these two aspects. For example, the Condensation Stance and Yin-Yang Stance developed from meditation are the roots of the listening skill and the adjustment of the center of gravity. Supported by abnormal physical strength, they cast the madness and fierceness of 24 Blizzard Strikes." Unparalleled Dragon King agreed.
Road to the Arena sent a thoughtful expression. "It seems that to defeat Lou Cheng, we have to start from these two aspects. This kind of physical strength monster will become more and more powerful as the match progresses. It is not that he is stronger, but that we are weaker. "
"Yes, use abrupt force and not give him the opportunity to use the listening skill and to use the force to return. Use the body movement of Wuthering Eight Movements to reduce his range of motion and force him to fight head-on. Don't let him delay time." A Plumber Eating Mushrooms replied.
Pig-Riding Knight, the moderator of the forum, added, "If he uses 24 Blizzard Strikes to attack instead of defense, then use Tornado Wind and Horrible Hurricane to fight head-on. Don't give him a chance to rise. This is the lesson of Little Punch. Combined with reducing the range of motion, try to end the battle in a short time."
Watching them discussing how to deal with him, Lou Cheng felt it was ridiculous and funny. Since he had to focus on the battle with Wang Ye tomorrow, he didn't think too much about it. He just silently wrote down the content in the notebook on the computer. He would think about it later.
Feeling mentally exhausted, Lou Cheng forced himself to finish watching the video, took a shower and went to bed. The next day, he got up on time and went to the small park nearby. He began to practice today's fighting style against Wang Ye. It would be more extreme than yesterday's.
Guarding his spirit and entering a state of tranquility, Lou Cheng visualized the nebula in his Dantian and felt its slow rotation. Then he adjusted every inch of his muscles and felt the gradual shift of his center of gravity.
Normally, when exerting force, the center of gravity was relatively still and stable. But in today's battle, Lou Cheng wanted to keep the center of gravity in a "moving" state, sacrificing a certain degree of exertion in exchange for more unpredictable footwork and body movements.
Only by fully utilizing one of his strengths could he have a chance to compete with Wang Ye.
His center of gravity was like mercury, swaying and rolling. After getting familiar with this feeling, Lou Cheng moved his feet and adjusted his muscles all the time. Even when he punched or kicked, he still kept the center of gravity swaying and could complete the change of direction at any time.
This kind of fighting style was too much for Lou Cheng's physical strength. After one or two minutes, he had to rely on the Jindan to replenish his energy. His spirit was also damaged, but it was relatively better.
At 7: 30, he felt his head was numb, so he wisely stopped the practice and returned to the hotel. First, he sent a morning greeting to Yan Zheke and told her that he had gotten up in the morning to train for the battle with Wang Ye. Now he needed to sleep to recover his spirit for the battle in the afternoon.
Even if he lost, he would not be upset at all.
…
In the afternoon, at 1: 30, dark clouds hung over the city and the cold wind whistled.
Many people gathered in Yanling Martial Arts Gym, which was much livelier than before. Lou Cheng, wearing the Songcheng University Martial Arts Club's white uniform with black edges, stepped through the gate in high spirits.
This would be the first time for him to challenge a Professional Ninth Pin expert.
