Looking at each other from a distance, Lou Cheng's heart was suddenly filled with a strong desire to fight, and the original regret disappeared.
Yes, Zhou Yuanning had abandoned martial arts for several years, and he was no longer as victorious as before. In addition, he had consumed his strength and accumulated fatigue in the tight schedule of one or even two fights a day, which could not be fully recovered in a short time. Under such circumstances, he dared not to face him and challenge him openly? Did he have to put his hope on Wang Ye injuring him?
No!
This was not the fight he longed for!
Fortunately, he was not injured. Otherwise, even if he appeared and got the prize money, he would be full of regret, feeling that he had taken a "free ride" from Wang Ye to succeed in breaking through.
Fighting to one's heart's content, stepping over enemies of sufficient strength, and striding into the top 16 with one's head held high, this was the scene that he desired, the martial path that he pursued!
If he lost, it could only mean that he did not have the strength, and he needed to review and make up for it. He would make a comeback in the future and prove what he had learned!
The prize money was very important, but this was not the only way to earn money. He could not reverse the order of things!
After thinking about this, Lou Cheng's many distracting thoughts faded away. He looked at Zhou Yuanning's eyes without a trace of cowardice or guilt. His body trembled slightly as if blood was flowing through his body.
Looking at Lou Cheng in the guest seat, "Road to the Arena" Zhou Yuanning felt that his eyes were firm and sharp, like an unsheathed sword, which made people not dare to look directly at him.
"I miss the feeling when I was in the professional martial arts circle …" Zhou Yuanning whispered, and the desire to fight in his eyes grew stronger.
Looking back, Lou Cheng took a breath and calmed his blood. Then he picked up the phone and sent the question he wanted to ask just now. He said to Yan Zheke with a smirk,
"How many pursuers do you have now?"
The prize money was not as important as the competition itself, but the competition tomorrow seemed to be less important than this …
Yan Zheke replied with an emoji of lowering head and counting fingers, "I'm pretty sure there are four …"
Four! Lou Cheng was shocked. This was a pretty sure number!
However, considering Yan Zheke's popularity, four was actually not a lot. The biggest question was whether he was included in the four.
What did she think of him? What was her position?
For a moment, Lou Cheng was a little worried. He pretended to be normal and said, "Haha, it's less than I thought. Who are they?"
"Because most of them stopped looking for me after I rejected them, so it doesn't count as them still pursuing me …" Yan Zheke replied.
Not bad, I like how you reject people so straightforwardly! "Of course, don't reject me …" Lou Cheng prayed to himself. "So these four are the ones who keep fighting despite repeated defeats?"
"There are also things that I didn't say clearly. I can't take the initiative to say no, right? How embarrassing and awkward would that be? What if there's a misunderstanding? We can only keep our distance and minimize contact. "Yan Zheke sent a sighing onion.
"I'm the one who didn't make it clear … But judging from our recent conversations, she didn't keep a distance from me or reduce our contact …" Lou Cheng felt sad at first, but then he felt happy as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Of course, it was also possible that she didn't realize that I was pursuing her …
Lou Cheng's mind was full of ups and downs. He controlled his emotions and didn't let them show in his words. He sent another message, "There must be high school classmates among the ones who keep fighting despite repeated defeats. (manual smiley face)"
"Yeah, there's one. If it weren't for the fact that he's my classmate, I would have blacklisted him. Now, he's always invisible on QQ. He'll never pretend to be online." Yan Zheke said with a crying face emoji.
Lou Cheng replied happily, "Luckily he's not in Songcheng, or you'll be in trouble."
"There are two in Songcheng. Luckily, one of them is my senior, so our schedules don't overlap. When I'm free, I'll be in the Martial Arts Club. Since the other one didn't say anything, I'll pretend I don't know and try not to contact him. Otherwise, it'll be really annoying." Yan Zheke sent a dumbfounded emoji.
"Haha, being too popular also has its troubles." Lou Cheng replied. He was happy to know more about Yan Zheke's love life.
Yan Zheke sent a Leisurely Monkey emoji. "Yeah, a bunch of rotten peach blossoms."
"What about the other one? He also didn't say clearly? "Lou Cheng wouldn't let go of any information about his potential love rival.
Yan Zheke sent a thinking monkey emoji.
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Damn, I've violated the taboo of Little Ming. Don't make girls feel like you're investigating me …" Lou Cheng gave a hollow laugh and pretended to be normal. "I'm just asking casually. I have no experience in love and no girl to pursue me. It's natural for me to be curious."
He took the opportunity to praise himself again. There's no history in love!
Yan Zheke sent a smirk emoji. "Someone once said that you can't trust a man when he's bragging …"
She used Lou Cheng's words yesterday to tease him.
"Really! Look at my sincere eyes! "Lou Cheng sent a dog emoji with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll trust you for now." Yan Zheke sent a covering mouth emoji and laughed. "As for the other one, there's nothing to say. He's been cruelly rejected by me several times. He rarely comes to me recently."
Not bad, not bad. That's how it should be! Lou Cheng gave Yan Zheke a thumbs up. Just as Little Ming had predicted, she was a very difficult girl to pursue. Otherwise, she would have had a boyfriend long ago.
This was both a good and a bad thing. The good thing was that he didn't have to worry about his love rival. The bad thing was that he might not be able to pursue her and would be cruelly rejected.
She just said that there were only four suitors, but it seemed that she didn't include me. Did she really not notice it, or did she find something and deliberately didn't mention it because she was chatting with me?
Lou Cheng didn't have the confidence to delve into this topic. He changed the topic and said, "I'm going back to the hotel to focus on the battle tomorrow afternoon. For the prize money! For you to have a better meal! "
"Hey hey, let me know when you get to the hotel. I'll send you the video recommended by my grandpa." Yan Zheke sent a laughing emoji.
Lou Cheng spent the whole afternoon and evening watching the video, talking with Yan Zheke about Wuthering Eight Movements, and practicing in the small park. He gradually formed an idea in his mind.
"The guerrilla tactics are completely restrained by Wuthering Eight Movements. I can't rely on Mercurial Balance this time. I have to change the way I play in the previous two matches." Lou Cheng said to Yan Zheke.
Yan Zheke sent an emoji with her hands crossed and said, "Wuthering Eight Movements' continuous attacks are very strong and difficult to defend. Although you have improved quickly, you still lack actual combat experience. If you use Tang Yue's or Wang Ye's fighting style, I'm afraid you can't hold on until his strength is exhausted. If you use offense instead of defense, he can run away immediately. In short, it's very difficult to deal with him."
"I saw the discussion between 'Road to the Arena' and others in the BBS. I found that they were prepared for all my strengths and were making changes, such as using abrupt force and rapid force. I was wondering if Zhou Yuanning would expose some problems when he used a fighting style that he wasn't used to, especially when he was attacking …" Lou Cheng poured out some vague thoughts in order to clear up his thoughts. After all, the battle was changing rapidly, and the initial plan might not be useful. It was always right to make more plans.
They discussed for a long time until 10: 30. Lou Cheng was ready to go to bed and practice the fighting style in the morning.
"Cheng, don't look at the BBS of Longhu Club before the match. It's easy to be disturbed by other people's comments and be influenced by those who don't like you, which will cause mental and emotional problems." Yan Zheke specially reminded him when goodnight.
"Don't worry, I'll restrain myself. By the way, what's the odds now?" Lou Cheng asked.
Yan Zheke sent an emoji with a snicker and said, "His odds are 1: 1.3, yours is 1: 3. The pressure is on him."
This is the odds including the principal.
It shows that most people still think there is a big gap between me and Zhou Yuanning … Lou Cheng exited QQ and closed his eyes.
…
"1: 1.3, 1: 3 …" The next afternoon, Zheng and his companions stood in front of the betting station, looking at the odds of the match between Lou Cheng and Zhou Yuanning.
One of his companions laughed and said, "Then I'll bet 200 yuan on Zhou Yuanning. If Lou Cheng wins, I'll lose money in exchange for happiness. If Lou Cheng loses, I'll have money to comfort my soul."
"Good, good idea!" Zheng's companions all expressed their agreement.
After that, they all looked at Zheng, who had not moved all the time.
"Zheng, you don't want to bet?"
Zheng thought for a while and said, "I still want to bet 100 or 200 yuan on Lou Cheng to win."
"Do you think he can win? He had a chance to win the match with Wang Ye because of his careful arrangement. But it can't happen again. Once the trick is seen through, it will be useless. "His companions advised.
"Maybe? Anyway, it's only 100 yuan. Just take it as the ticket for the Challenge Tournament. " Zheng took out his wallet and joked, "You can also bet on Lou Cheng to win. If he makes an upset, you can lose less."
…
"Sister Lan, you don't want to bet?" Ye Youting took out ten 100 yuan notes.
Jiang Lan thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure. I'd better not bet."
"How can you not be sure? Zhou Yuanning's fighting style can restrain Lou Cheng, and there is a gap between their comprehensive strength. "Ye Youting asked in surprise.
Jiang Lan shook her head and said, "But Zhou Yuanning's problems and shortcomings are also obvious."
"Then I'll bet on myself!" Ye Youting was very confident.
…
"Senior brother, you actually bet on Lou Cheng to win?" Qin Zhilin looked at Liu Yinglong in surprise.
Liu Yinglong was also a young man. He smiled and said, "Just take it as his reward for helping us gain a lot in these matches. Let's see if there is a miracle."
In several betting stations, similar conversations happened from time to time. The odds were still slightly adjusted, and the tone was still optimistic about Zhou Yuanning.
…
"Master Road, the first match is in the afternoon." "Invincible Punch" Jin Tao and "Road to the Arena" Zhou Yuanning walked side by side to the martial arts stadium.
Zhou Yuanning exhaled and said, "Good, we don't have to wait."
Seeing Jin Tao's mobile phone screen was still shining, he asked, "What did the live broadcast post say?"
Jin Tao laughed and said,
Caomu said that Lou Cheng's strength is not as good as that of an Amateur First Pin, so you don't have to worry about him. Caomu said that Lou Cheng was just lucky to be able to fight Wang Ye to that extent. Old Dragon, The Plumber, and Pig-Riding Uncle all want you to use your collective wisdom. Little Wonton and Shallow Sea Blue said that if Master Road loses, you have to expose your nipples and take photos. That little girl Brahman first shouted for support, then asked for photos. "
"Hey." Zhou Yuanning laughed and pulled his sleeves. "Help me reply that I appreciate everyone's support and will live up to their expectations. In the name of taking photos!"
"As for the little girl, tell her that if I win, I'll take a photo with her new idol as the winner!"
While talking, the two entered the stadium which was full of people.
…
In the locker room, Lou Cheng opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and calm.
He looked at the digital clock and saw that there were still a few minutes before the start of the match. He stood up and stretched his body. Then he took out his mobile phone, logged on QQ and sent a message to Yan Zheke,
"It's time for the match."
Yan Zheke quickly replied, "… What song do you want to listen to?"
Lou Cheng was delighted and snickered, "You still remember."
Before the match with Tang Yue, he had asked Yan Zheke to sing a song to cheer him on in the last match of the group competition.
"Tell me what song! Or I'll back out! "Yan Zheke replied.
Lou Cheng thought for a while and typed with a smile,
"Chase your dreams with a childlike heart, the climax."
After waiting for a while, a long voice message came in. He clicked it open and heard Yan Zheke's clear and familiar female voice singing,
"Run forward, facing the cold eyes and ridicule
How can you feel the vastness of life without suffering
Fate can't make us kneel and beg for mercy
Even if blood is shed in the arms
"Keep running, with the childlike pride
How can you see the brilliance of life without perseverance
Instead of lingering on, why not burn heartily
One day it will sprout again. "
Listening to the song, Lou Cheng opened the door of the locker room.
Then burn heartily!
