The air that burned his respiratory tract gradually cooled down. Everything in front of him that was distorted by the high temperature returned to normal. Wang Que's eyes regained their luster. He patted the dust off his clothes and stood up straight.
He looked at Lou Cheng and said thoughtfully,
"Ice and fire in one?"
This sentence was sent via voice transmission to avoid being recorded by the camera.
Lou Cheng knew that he couldn't hide the essence of that move from Wang Que. He nodded calmly and said,
"Yes!"
Wang Que seemed to have solved a difficult problem. His body and mind felt more relaxed. He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
At this moment, a thought flashed across Lou Cheng's mind.
He blurted out, "Can you use Transient Steps continuously?"
Since they were all talking via voice transmission, this question was no exception.
Lou Cheng regretted it the moment the words left his mouth. This involved the trump card of a martial artist. It wasn't something others should ask.
Wang Que stopped in his tracks. After thinking for a few seconds, he smiled and said,
"Yes."
With that, he didn't stay any longer. He walked along the path full of potholes and flames towards the exit he came from. His back was straight, and he looked neither humble nor arrogant under the spotlight.
Yes? Lou Cheng nodded slowly. While enjoying the cheers, he had some other thoughts in his mind.
If that's the case, the best use of Transient Steps shouldn't be for dodging, but for attacking!
Lou Cheng raised his hands high and clapped his hands to show his respect. He walked further and further on the path of light until he disappeared at the edge of the arena.
During this process, he only felt the sense of weakness appear again. Combined with the exhaustion of his body, it made him very tired. His footsteps were weak, as though he was seriously ill.
Of course, having been seriously injured for a long time, he was very used to it. He walked steadily without any difficulty.
When he returned to the locker room, he first took the phone from Auman and sent a message to Yan Zheke. [Snickering emoji]
"I won!"
In the morning in Connecticut, Yan Zheke, who was listening to her tutor's lecture seriously, felt her pocket vibrate.
She looked around silently, reached into her pocket, and pulled out her phone. Before the light went out, she took a quick glance.
Her lips curled into a beautiful arc. She stuffed her phone back into her pocket and held the side of her face. Her silky black hair fell through the gaps between her fingers. She became more focused and excited as she continued to listen to the lecture.
…
In the live broadcast room, the host looked at the heavyweight commentator beside him, cleared his throat, and said in a rather restrained manner,
"This is truly an exciting battle. Senior Wuguang, what do you think?"
Taoist Wuguang, whose hair was a mix of silver and black, gave a gentle smile.
"Indeed."
His appearance was ordinary, and he belonged to the kind of old man that could be seen everywhere. Those who had never seen him before would always feel that this person was familiar when they first saw him.
The host was almost choked by this concise and comprehensive answer. He could only take the initiative to lead the conversation.
He smiled and said, "Senior Wuguang, I didn't expect you to be a guest. It's rare for you to be so free. Did you get a bye this round? Uh, you didn't participate in the first round either? "
"Did you only find out today?" Taoist Wuguang shook his head with a smile. "I didn't manage to register …"
His smile was light and carefree, as if he was used to such things.
"Why?" The host blurted out in surprise.
"During the registration, our sect's Foreign Affairs Division forgot about me. The organizing committee felt that I would definitely participate, so they didn't verify it," said Taoist Wuguang helplessly and amusedly.
Because of this, he had agreed to be a guest commentator, thinking that since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came.
You are the Sect Leader … The host wanted to reply, but when the words reached his mouth, he forcefully swallowed them back down.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Senior Wuguang, can you give a brief comment on the match just now?"
Taoist Wuguang pondered for a moment.
"Lou Cheng and Wang Que both performed at an extremely high level. Both are among the best of the younger generation. Lou Cheng's victory was partly due to the lack of fights between Physical Invulnerability experts, so Wang Que didn't fully understand him. There was always the element of surprise. However, this is part of a martial arts battle.
"Fortunately, this is modern times, and it's a challenge tournament. If this were a hundred or two hundred years ago, or even a thousand or two thousand years ago, the secret trump card would be the key to a martial artist's victory. Many strong martial artists couldn't stand up again after a moment of carelessness or carelessness.
"Physical Invulnerability experts still have a chance to regret. As for those below, heh …"
Wuguang shook his head and continued.
"Here, I have to criticize Wang Que. He knew that Lou Cheng had many tricks up his sleeve, but he didn't take sufficient precautions despite not knowing his opponent well. This is a little careless. This habit isn't a big deal in a challenge tournament, but in a real battle, it's dangerous.
"Wang Que probably didn't expect Lou Cheng to have so many tricks up his sleeve, and even have something new in the end." The host helped to explain. Then, he asked curiously, "Senior Wuguang, I can see that Wang Que is strong, but where do you see something as intangible as Master Potential?"
Instead of arguing, Taoist Wuguang explained seriously, "That's right.
He explained seriously, "When everyone is practicing the same martial arts, and you have a deeper and purer grasp of it than everyone else, your performance is more powerful, simpler, faster, and more powerful. That's Master Potential."
What the hell is he talking about? It's too abstract and not intuitive at all … the host thought. After thinking for a few seconds, he smiled and asked, "Then what do you think of Lou Cheng?"
Taoist Wuguang answered with great interest,
"From this battle, we can see that his ice and fire powers weren't forcefully mixed together. Instead, they formed a harmonious whole. From the small details to the big details, it's all the same. When the fire is on the outside, the ice is on the inside. Wang Que didn't realize this point and separated the ice and fire powers."
"This is consistent with Lou Cheng's explanation in the previous interview. I believe that he has indeed taken a different path from his predecessors, a path that is new to everyone's eyes. His fighting style is close to that of a martial artist, but there are also some similarities. If we try to trick him with old tricks and don't recognize this point clearly, there will be people who are stronger than him who will lose because of this."
"Glory aside, this is the performance of a Grandmaster in terms of martial arts."
"When Lou Cheng perfects this path and creates his own set of martial arts, he will be able to spread it. That will really be the start of a new sect, the first of its kind!"
"The first of its kind … Just these two words are enough to show great spirit!" the host exclaimed.
…
Under the latest news on Yanzhao League's official Weibo, the number of comments increased again. One fan after another expressed their feelings after witnessing the battle.
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
"Er Que is being silly again!"
"I heard, uh, the Sect Leader of Shangqing Sect say that Er Que was being silly for once!"
"You can't say that. Lou Cheng is indeed strong. He deserves his reputation as the Heavenly Son of the Age!" “
"Sigh, I finally understand what it means to live up to your reputation …"
"From the looks of it, even if there are various reasons for Lou Cheng's victory, he is still a Second Pin fighter, or at least close to it."
"It's only been three months since he broke through …"
"I heard the Sect Leader of Shangqing Sect say that Lou Cheng really has the potential to become a Grandmaster."
…
Yan Xiaoling replied to the forum as she read the comments of her "opponents". She felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. She hurriedly scrolled from Yanzhao League's official Weibo, Yanzhao League's forum, Wang Que's Weibo, Wang Que's forum to Wuyue Club, Shangqing Sect, and other unrelated places. She eagerly read every word.
When she finally calmed down, she felt more tired than fighting a match. Most of Lou Cheng's fans on the forum were doing the same.
…
In the changing room, Wang Que didn't leave immediately.
After treating his injuries, he replayed his battle with Lou Cheng over and over again. He would pause from time to time and fall into deep thought.
His battle style is more similar to Wisdom King's …
Many control methods …
Very good coordination in all aspects …
…
After some time, Wang Que, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, suddenly stood up as though he couldn't wait to practice something.
…
After returning to the hotel, the exhausted Lou Cheng said goodbye to Yan Zheke and fell into a deep sleep.
Auman saw that she had nothing to do and entered the room diagonally opposite. Coincidentally, she saw Guo Jie's assistant, Wang Yuexi, coming out of the shower.
Seeing Auman, Wang Yuexi was stunned. She smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"Your boss is really awesome!"
"He's alright," replied Auman with a smile. She finally understood what it meant to be proud of someone.
…
In the second round of the competition, Lou Cheng was matched against a surviving Inhuman Stage fighter and passed with ease. Peng Leyun, on the other hand, was matched against the Witch, Qian Hui. Due to carelessness, he suffered his first defeat after reaching the Physical Invulnerability stage. Fortunately, he wasn't eliminated yet.
Ren Li finally met an opponent of sufficient strength and won with difficulty.
At this moment, there were still 65 Mighty Ones left. All the Inhumans had been eliminated. The fourth round of drawing lots was about to be announced.
While chatting leisurely with Ke, Lou Cheng was also paying attention to the results. Before he could mentally prepare himself, he heard his name being announced.
Uh … Lou Cheng shifted his gaze to the TV screen and waited for the results to be announced.
The guest opened the paper and announced with a smile,
"Daxing Temple, Living Buddha, Shi Shan!"
