Hearing Lou Cheng's reply, the reporter got excited. She didn't expect him to be so cooperative. She was already imagining the Chief Editor's praise, the crazy popularity, the increase in her salary, and the promotion of her position.
In just a few seconds, she had already thought of her opening speech when she took on the role of Chief Editor.
The headline of the news, hmm, the headline would be:
"I'll fight to the end! Lou Cheng officially challenges the super-class Mighty Ones! "
Lou Cheng didn't have Thoughtsteal and couldn't hear the reporter's thoughts. However, he didn't care what would happen next. He quickly ended the interview and returned to the tent. While watching Dragon King fight, he chatted with Yan Zheke on his phone.
"What happened to keeping a low profile? [Covering mouth and laughing expression]" Yan Zheke was looking at the headlines and forum posts on Weibo.
Lou Cheng replied, "[Snickering expression] How can I keep a low profile after defeating Long Zhen so quickly?"
"That's true … Regardless of whether you said it or not, the other Physical Invulnerability experts would only be cautious and go all out when facing you. With this sentence, you can still hope that someone will fall for it. [Nodding expression]" Yan Zheke replied.
"That's just one aspect. The most important thing is to have a pure heart." Lou Cheng stopped joking and explained to Yan Zheke seriously, "If you want to challenge strong opponents and fight to the end but don't dare to say it out loud because you're afraid of public criticism and getting slapped in the face, to most people, this is humility, keeping a low profile, and having self-awareness. However, to Physical Invulnerability experts, it's not a pure heart. This will affect one's state and affect one's performance in battle. At our level, we have to consider every little bit of interference."
"Also, not daring to say it shows that you don't have confidence in yourself. Under such circumstances, how can you defeat strong opponents? Are you expecting them to make mistakes? "
"After saying this sentence, I felt more relaxed and focused. In order not to get slapped in the face and mocked by others, I can only squeeze out every ounce of energy to fight for it! Unlike before, I could accept losing to a titled Mighty One or a super-class Mighty One as no one would say anything. "
Yan Zheke replied, "[Rubbing chin expression expression] Isn't this what they mean by cutting off all means of retreat? Cheng, you're the best! "
It had been almost three years since they registered their marriage. Other than when they were in love, she was still too embarrassed to call him her husband.
"Heh heh, but I still have to overcome the impatience brought about by the pressure. I can't become the second Long Zhen. Coincidentally, Enemy Heart Freezing Move is very good at such things …" Lou Cheng explained to his wife, and also used this opportunity to clear his thoughts and find the hidden dangers.
Following that, after two days of competition, the top 32 of the Martial Sage Battle were all decided. Peng Leyun defeated Hu Shubai of the Yanzhao League and successfully entered the ranks. None of the Four Heavenly Prides were eliminated. This made everyone feel that perhaps the future would truly be an era where they would compete for supremacy.
Before the two-day adjustment period, the drawing of lots for the duel was held as scheduled. Compared to the previous casual arrangement, the organizing committee had invited all thirty-two participants to the small banquet hall to participate in the ceremony.
After a lively and impressive performance, the Warrior Sage, Qian Donglou, went up to the stage. With the help of the host, the first match was drawn.
"God-Slaying Saber" Lu Yongyuan vs "Lion King" Shang Youde!
A battle between two titled powerhouses!
"From the start of the top 32, sparks will fly in every match." Ann Chaoyang, who could only watch the live stream in the hotel, said in the group chat.
"At a glance, all of them are first-pin, except for us," Peng Leyun added exaggeratedly.
Lou Cheng watched the drawing of lots with a serious expression. Glancing at his phone from the corner of his eye, he said with a smirk,
"That's why I really want to draw you, the Taoist brand pushover!"
In response to his deliberate provocation, Peng Leyun replied casually,
"What a coincidence, me too."
After typing, his thoughts drifted away with this thought. For a moment, it was as if he was in a place with no one around. Until his own name sounded.
Peng Leyun came back to his senses in a daze. He saw the highlights scrolling on the big screen and finally stopped at a picture of him and his opponent.
That opponent was:
"Kirin" Dong Baxian!
He was stunned at first, then broke into laughter. He said in the group chat,
"I feel that my luck in drawing lots has always been bad."
"It's okay. You'll meet him sooner or later!" Ren Li comforted him in her unique way.
Lou Cheng was about to speak when he saw the guest pick up the ball and call out his name. Hence, he patiently waited for his opponent to appear.
After a dozen seconds, the guest smiled and showed the result to the crowd.
"Kongtong School, Feng Zhi!"
"Heaven's Equal Swordsman" Feng Zhi!
A Physical Invulnerability expert who had won a title in the past three years, the number one expert in Kongtong School!
He was recognized by all major TV stations and websites as one of the eight powerhouses who had a chance of winning the challenge right!
This is the difficulty of a "nightmare" right from the start … Lou Cheng mocked himself. He wasn't too affected by it.
Just as Ren Li had said, since he had set his sights high, it was only a matter of time before he met a super-class expert of this level.
This was a difficulty that he had to face. There was no way he could avoid it!
At the edge of the seat next to Ren Li, the sturdy and slightly plump Feng Zhi nodded thoughtfully. His right hand gently stroked the engraved hilt of his sword. His eyes shone with excitement. He was eager to give it a try.
His hair was thin and showed signs of balding. Physical Invulnerability experts had terrifying recovery and growth abilities. Given that they could regrow their teeth after losing all of them, this shouldn't be a problem. However, for some reason, Feng Zhi couldn't cure his baldness. He gave off the feeling that he was aging prematurely.
According to an anonymous reliable source in the Guanwai League, this was probably due to the conflict between his bloodline power and the essence of the Plague Sect, which had been infused with the unique skills of the Wind Sect, resulting in certain, slight sequelae.
In the Jianghu, there were two interesting rumors about Feng Zhi. The first was that he went bald early, and the second was that he liked girls more than ten years older than him. Some people suspected that the reason was that he had a crush on Ren Li's master when he was young, his martial aunt, the Glorious Sword, Qi Ling.
Of course, this didn't affect his status as a super-class expert!
Shaking his head, Lou Cheng reported this to his little fairy. Then, he sent a handshake emoji in the group chat.
"Daoist Priest, we are truly brothers in distress."
"I don't have a brother like you," replied Peng Leyun concisely.
"… Damn, Priest, you've learned how to ridicule me!" replied Lou Cheng with a shocked expression.
While they were discussing, Ren Li was also selected. Her opponent was the Empty Nest Geezer, Wu Molian.
To the Physical Invulnerability experts present, this was probably the easiest First Pin expert to deal with!
It wasn't that Wu Molian had deteriorated so much that the First Pin was just a symbol. It was because he was nearing his sixties. When he fought once a week, the deterioration in his condition wouldn't be too obvious. However, with the frequency of one battle every three days, he had already fought twice in a row. The problem was obvious!
No matter how glorious he was in the past, time wouldn't spare him!
Of course, experts in the Forbidden Territory could deteriorate before they died!
"Ren Li, you actually have the supernatural ability of Luck, right?" asked Lou Cheng with a dumbfounded expression.
It was rare for Peng Leyun to agree with his opinion.
"I've felt that way for a long time."
"I'll prove myself!" Ren Li had always been confident in her martial arts standards and her ability to recognize directions.
Following which, she hesitated for a few seconds before reminding Lou Cheng, "Senior Brother Feng is very good. He's very good at things that I'm not good at."
At this point, she felt that she was boosting his morale and diminishing her own. She quickly added, "He might not be good at things that I'm good at!"
Although it was as good as not saying anything, Chihuahua was still a good friend! Lou Cheng thanked her with a smile and watched as the lot-drawing ceremony came to an end.
In the last round, the new guest drew Dragon King, Chen Qitao.
The host chuckled.
"There's only one left. The Dragon King's opponent is without a doubt!"
Following the procedure, he replaced the guest and reached into the box excitedly. After touching it, he touched it again and again. After touching it three times, his expression changed drastically.
Why are there no more balls?
Only thirty-one of them had been drawn?
What went wrong in the middle?
Well, it doesn't matter if there are no balls. After eliminating the previous 31, it's obvious who's left!
Who is it …
Who is it?
Who is it!
Broadcast accident … Broadcast accident …
Beads of perspiration formed on his forehead. He turned to look at the guest and saw that he was at a loss.
Following which, he looked at the experts below and saw the Abbot of Daxing Temple, Divine Monk Fa Yuan, sitting in the first row.
Eh, his expression seems to be saying, "I know what's going on but I won't say …" While the host was feeling suspicious, he saw Dragon King's lips moving. Instantly, a mellow, magnetic, and majestic voice rang in his ears.
"Wu Guang."
Yes, yes, yes! I remember now! The host announced with tears in his eyes,
"Dragon King's opponent is the Sect Leader of Shangqing Sect, Taoist Wuguang!"
