In Cai Zongming's room, He Zi glanced at the excited Yan Xiaoling and said with disdain, "Don't worry about her. She'll be fine in a while."
Lou Cheng chuckled and looked around at the crowd.
"At first, I thought that it would be good enough if one of you could reach the Dan stage. This would mean that our Martial Arts Club is on the right track. Who would have thought that in less than a year after I left, Deng Yang and He Zi would successively comprehend 'withdraw' and successfully advance.
He gave a thumbs up to show his appreciation.
This made the cheerful Deng Yang shy. He scratched his head and said, "You flatter me. I'm not as good as you, Senior Brother Lou."
He was always nervous in front of his idol.
Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed. He turned to Mu Jinnian, Wang Dali, and the others and said, "Don't be affected by this. Although there is a probability of reaching the Dan stage, this is only relative to the overall sample. A small number of people or a small group of people are not affected by this restriction. It's not that you have no hope just because Deng Yang and He Zi broke through. Look at Daxing Temple and Ice God Sect. Dare to dream. What if? "
"Yes!" After everyone responded seriously, Little Ming laughed and scolded, "Cheng, why are you talking like an old leader who came back for an inspection? Are you going to say, 'This is the place where I fought and lived. It has a good tradition. I hope everyone can show that they can bear hardships and fight well'? "
"Talker, I think it's a pity that you don't want to be a crosstalk artist!" Lou Cheng was used to teasing him.
Cai Zongming had decided to go back to his hometown and take over his father's company after graduation. When the time came, he would consider liquidating the company and changing careers.
Because his body was still weak, Lou Cheng didn't stay for long. He and Cai Zongming found a quiet and secluded place to drink tea and chat until the evening.
…
"Lalala ~ Lalala ~" Yan Xiaoling paced back and forth in the room, her excitement written all over her face.
She picked up her phone and browsed the forum. Suddenly, she saw a link from "All the Good Names Are Taken by Dogs".
The title came into view and flashed by. Yan Xiaoling suddenly frowned and clicked on the content. The reporter wrote,
"According to sources close to Lou Cheng, the former Heavenly Son will recover in three or four months and step into the ring again …"
You are the past, your whole family is the past! Yan Xiaoling cursed inwardly and continued reading.
"According to the feedback from the Martial Artist Association, Lou Cheng hasn't signed a professional contract with any forces, including Longhu. In other words, he's a free fighter …"
"With the strength, realm, and potential that he has shown in the past, although it will take three or four months for him to fully recover, there will definitely be no shortage of pursuers. The various forces should have waved their chequebooks and tried to recruit him. Unfortunately, we did not see that. Does this mean something? Could it be that in the eyes of the major forces, Lou Cheng is a risky investment and no longer possesses such terrifying potential? "
"That's right. A high-ranked Dan Stage fighter is definitely an honored guest of various forces. However, in the eyes of the teams participating in the top professional competitions, their value is just so-so. Do they lack Inhumans? Not lacking! They are only lacking future experts with the potential to break through to the Physical Invulnerability stage! "
"Lou Cheng's cold reception might reflect something."
After reading the report, Yan Xiaoling's mouth gradually turned into an O shape. She vaguely guessed that the source of the reporter's information was her post. However, she never thought that a simple sentence of hers could generate so many things …
It's a waste of talent if you don't write novels!
Puffing up her cheeks, Yan Xiaoling quickly scrolled through the comments and reposts.
"A serious injury that took an entire year to recover. How can it be possible without leaving behind some problems and losing some of his potential?"
"How depressing. It's so depressing to think that a Heavenly son of the era who braved the wind and waves has become an old Inhuman who failed time and time again."
"This tells us that life is full of surprises and that we should enjoy ourselves while we can. To the girl above, do you want to meet me?"
"Seriously! Does Lou Cheng need your sympathy? He is an Inhuman Mighty One. Even if he can't break through to the Physical Invulnerability stage, his future life will definitely be better than yours by a hundred or a thousand times! "
"To be honest, if Lou Cheng isn't so focused on the top professional competitions, he can choose any second-tier team he wants."
"Poison Milk Hierarch, what do you think?"
The profile picture of Poison Milk Hierarch was a shiny round head. He reposted twice in a row.
"What can I think? I haven't seen Lou Cheng and I haven't gotten any reliable information. What can I think? Do I look like the kind of person who would make wild guesses without any evidence? "
"However, I think of the past. There aren't many cases of martial arts geniuses breaking their wings halfway through, but it's definitely not rare either. Most of them can only muddle along in lower-tier competitions and slowly fade into the crowd."
Phew, I'm a little relieved to hear that! Yan Xiaoling swiped with her thumb and read more comments.
"Lou Cheng is pretty popular. Many of my friends like him. Even if he were to fight in second-tier professional competitions, I think he would still be able to make the headlines frequently and not fade into the crowd."
"Previous poster, you're wrong. There are only two kinds of martial arts fans like. One is a famous Physical Invulnerability Mighty One, and the other is a genius with extraordinary potential who can break through to the Physical Invulnerability stage in the future. If Lou Cheng were to remain at the Inhuman stage for a decade or so, how many people would continue to like him? Every year, there are new, talented, and even good-looking 'little fresh meat'. Who would waste their energy on a has-been Heavenly Son? "
"Let's not talk about a decade later. Just look at how quiet Lou Cheng's fan forum is now after that Weibo post. How many people are still following him? A martial artist with no hope is like an ice cream dropped on the ground. Who would bend down and lick it? "
"Sigh, you're right. This world is just that cruel."
Of course not … Yan Xiaoling muttered silently and switched back to the forum. [Howling into the sky expression]:
"Ahhhhhh! That despicable reporter, what's his name? I'll remember you! Ahhhhh! I must do something! "
She felt that her little chest was about to explode.
In the past, she had seen news that slandered or made up stories about Lou Cheng. Although she was very angry, it was never as bad as this, because the source of the news was her post!
"Little Changye, calm down, calm down! Here, there's a kitchen knife. "" Brahman "didn't understand the situation at first, but she didn't mind watching the show.
"Little Changye," "Nie Qiqi" said thoughtfully, "You're in Moshang, right? I'm here too. Why don't we meet up and discuss what to do? "
"Ahhhhh! I'm going to kill that reporter! "Yan Xiaoling was still in her own world.
"Sister Qiqi, do you want to meet up? Count me in! Count me in! I'm very close! I'm in my first year of high school. I can apply to watch the nationals! "" Brahman "chimed in excitedly.
"What are you talking about?" Yan Xiaoling was at a loss. After scrolling up and down, she said, "Me, me, me too!"
"Then let's ask the others. Lou Cheng is about to enter the arena again. We have to do something." "Nie Qiqi" said with uncertainty.
"Roar!" Yan Xiaoling immediately @'d Unparalleled Dragon King, Wonton Seller, Naive Innocence, and the others.
"Brahman" went to a few groups that had become quiet and asked repeatedly, "Lou Cheng is coming back.
"Lou Cheng is coming back soon. Is there anyone who wants to discuss what to do in the forum? If not, I'll ask again later! "
For a moment, they, who were still active, were full of enthusiasm and rejuvenated a hundred times.
…
Back at the halfway point of Yanbing Mountain, Lou Cheng also saw the news. He even received a lot of detailed messages asking about his recent situation. All of them replied with "better than expected, recovering".
Shaking his head, he exited the news. After half a year of torment, he was already able to face such groundless descriptions with a better attitude.
Except for the first sentence, the whole news was filled with imagination and "I think". Even if he retorted, he wouldn't know where to start. If he was really full of flaws, then there would be no flaws.
Moreover, the question of whether or not one had potential was not something that could be said with words. Arguing with a reporter in his field of expertise could turn white into black.
At present, the only and best way to fight back was to find a way to make the great leap and become a Mighty One with physical invulnerability. At that time, it would be the most powerful slap in the face!
I'll work hard for my little fairy and for myself! Lou Cheng put down his phone complacently.
At this moment, he received a message from Cai Zongming. "Talker" asked,
"Are you coming to watch our match the day after tomorrow?"
"Of course, I've already got a guest ticket," replied Lou Cheng with a smile.
In the hotel, Yan Xiaoling and the rest cheered excitedly behind and beside Cai Zongming.
…
Two days later, at 7: 30 pm, Siling Martial Arts Stadium.
Lou Cheng entered through the guest entrance and walked along the passageway to find his seat.
He didn't wear black-rimmed glasses or disguise himself. He appeared in front of everyone in his original appearance. This was the first time he appeared in public since his injury in August last year.
He felt that he couldn't hide the fact that he had gotten a guest ticket from the reporters. Disguising himself would also be useless, and it would also expose his usual outfit.
His face was pale and his footsteps were a little shaky. Along the way, Lou Cheng received many looks of sympathy, pity, lamentation, and regret. He also received many looks of schadenfreude and those who didn't mind watching a show.
After climbing mountains and wading through rivers, he finally sat down. He didn't care about the others and cast his gaze on the arena and the big screen. He watched the replays of yesterday's match, the introductions of today's team, and the advertisements.
At 7: 40 pm, Lou Cheng saw from the corner of his eyes that two people who looked like reporters were trying to approach. When he was about to order the security personnel to separate them, he suddenly saw the image on the big screen change and he appeared.
That was the young and inexperienced version of himself when he stepped onto the arena. That was at the beginning of the Little Martial Sage Challenge Tournament!
Huh? What's going on? Lou Cheng stared blankly at the screen, only to see the images constantly changing. It showed him fighting against "Invincible Punch", being defeated by "Iron Palm", winning against the former Professional Ninth Pin "Road to the Arena", and defeating Ye Youting with a terrifying outburst.
Some were photos, some were clips, and all of them replayed the beginning of his martial arts.
Next, Lou Cheng saw himself defeating Yimo and putting his finger to his mouth. He saw himself losing to Zhou Zhengquan. He saw himself defeating strong opponents to win the provincial youth tournament. He saw himself when he first met Peng Leyun. He saw himself when he tied with Ren Li. He saw himself when he finally defeated the Big Devil and lifted the Feitian Cup. He saw himself when he fought against the Inhumans during the King of Four Nations Competition. This continued until he defeated the monk of Daxing Temple in the "Battle of the Kings".
From youth to vigor, from frivolity to maturity, all of his martial arts experiences were shown in Lou Cheng's eyes. It also confused the reporters and the audience.
At this time, the video came to an end. Some people appeared alone, some in groups. Some were Yan Xiaoling and Little Wonton, some were men and women he didn't recognize. Their backgrounds were different from each other, and their appearances were unique from all over the world.
They appeared separately and shrank into a small frame, side by side. Finally, on the screen, hundreds and thousands of people shouted in unison, shaking the whole arena.
"Lou Cheng!"
As the reporters trembled, the opposite stands also burst into a shout,
"Lou Cheng!"
Lou Cheng looked over subconsciously. Then he saw Yan Xiaoling, Brahman with two ponytails, and many familiar yet strange faces.
A huge banner was held up by them, on which the words were clearly written:
"You are here, we are here!"
