"Wow …" In Lou Cheng's fan forum, that was all Yan Xiaoling could say before stopping abruptly in a daze.
Immediately following that, everyone "shouted" the same words in unison.
"Super-class!" "Super-class!" "Super-class!"
…
Shu Rui, who was filming the daily life of a Physical Invulnerability expert with Queen of Thought Fei Dan, was in a daze as she watched the match with her and listened to the cheers.
He defeated Heaven's Equal Swordsman, Feng Zhi, and entered the ranks of the super-class?
As someone who had been working as a reporter for a few years, she knew that the news of "Test the Gold" and "Break through if you're a super-class" were just media hype. In reality, no one had expected Lou Cheng to win. Putting aside the fact that he was a super-class, Feng Zhi's ability to "fly" for a short period of time was enough to discourage any hope. Everyone was thinking of building up the hype and elevating Lou Cheng. Even if he lost unexpectedly, they could easily pick up where they left off after the match, creating a contrast and creating a wave of eye-catching criticism.
In the end, Lou Cheng actually won. He defeated Feng Zhi in his strongest field, "Aerial Combat"!
This was simply enough to cause everyone's eyes to shatter!
Of course, Shu Rui believed that the reporters would recover quickly. A "miracle" itself was the best gimmick, the best source material, and more effective than any other tricks!
Phew, what did this guy eat growing up? It hasn't even been a year since he advanced to Physical Invulnerability … Shu Rui stuck her tongue out secretly, feeling like she didn't recognize the young man on the screen.
She lowered her head and searched for the video of the program she made in the beginning on her phone. She watched one of the videos carefully and found it hard to believe that the dumb-looking passerby B would grow into a freshly minted "super-first-rate" expert who was enjoying the cheers!
Occasionally defeating Lu Yongyuan, Feng Zhi, or Long Zhen at their peak wasn't enough to prove anything. However, to defeat three of them consecutively, one couldn't help but look at him in a different light!
Fate is truly amazing … Shu Rui couldn't help but sigh softly.
At this moment, the livestream of the passerby A in the video was dark without any image.
"What the f * ck? What's going on?"
"The commentator was too excited and couldn't think of a better way to brag about Lou Cheng. So he pretended that the power was cut off?"
"I've seen this episode. The commentator traveled to another world!"
"Actually, his expression is exactly the same as mine now. I'm in a daze and disbelief …"
After a few seconds, Cai Zongming reappeared and laughed at himself.
"Damn it, I was too excited just now and accidentally touched the switch, causing the computer to restart …"
…
In the live broadcast room of the television station, the host and guest commentator He Xiaowei looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The director and the others were in the same state, and no one reminded them.
"Wow, Lou Cheng, is he really at the super-class level?" After a while, the experienced host was the first to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and asked hesitantly.
He Xiaowei stroked his bald head and laughed.
"He might not be as good in other aspects, but when it comes to improvisation, he's really top-notch!"
He paused for a few seconds, deliberated, and said,
"Actually, the bigger problem in this match is Feng Zhi himself. With Long Zhen as an example, he seems to have been too cautious. After his initial attack failed, he immediately switched to flying to show his biggest advantage. This isn't a problem, but it also means that he gave up on his other strengths. When Lou Cheng took to the air to chase after him, he actually thought of using his flying advantage to escape. When his opponent was unexpectedly difficult to deal with, he finally fell into a temporary state of exhaustion. In close combat, his long sword was easily caught by his opponent."
"For a swordsman, this is the greatest form of self-humiliation."
"If it were me, I would choose to conserve my strength and wait for Lou Cheng to get close to me so that I could engage him in an aerial battle. At that time, I would be stronger with every inch of my strength. With my sword in hand and my outstanding swordsmanship, I wouldn't be afraid that I wouldn't be able to force Lou Cheng into a corner and force him into a corner!"
The host listened in silence, pondered for a few seconds, and disagreed.
"If Feng Zhi had done that, Lou Cheng would have been able to conserve his remaining fireballs. Then, it would have become a long-range exchange. The result is hard to say …"
"That's true." He Xiaowei shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "In every post-match analysis, I always feel like I'm stronger than a Physical Invulnerability expert …"
Hindsight is always relatively easy!
…
Hearing the referee's announcement, the heavily injured Lou Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. He retracted his elbow and stood up slowly. His body was trembling uncontrollably.
This battle wasn't considered a long one, so it was normal for him to be exhausted. The reason why he felt so exhausted was because of the accumulation of sword wounds. It was the consequence of blowing himself up for the "air battle".
With such injuries, it would be difficult for him to recover fully in two to three days. This meant that Lou Cheng couldn't compete in the top 16 in his best condition.
However, he didn't care too much about this. From the top 32 onwards, every match would be a fierce battle. This was fair to all fighters. When the time came, his opponent would most likely have some hidden injuries.
Moreover, this was already set in stone. There was no need to worry about it. The most important thing now was to enjoy the victory!
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lou Cheng took two steps back and bowed to Feng Zhi, who was struggling to get up. He turned around with a smile and slowly walked away, surrounded by cheers.
Feng Zhi took a deep breath and stared blankly at Lou Cheng's back. For a moment, he had the illusion that he was looking at the Warrior Sage.
Since the establishment of professional competitions, only Qian Donglou had been able to achieve such a feat in his first year as a Physical Invulnerability expert. Now, Lou Cheng had to be added to the list!
In addition, Feng Zhi's greatest nemesis was also the Warrior Sage, Qian Donglou. In the domain of dark clouds and flashing lightning, flying was like being a target. Not to mention, he had a long metal sword in his hand. He was the so-called "human lightning rod".
Hopefully, this won't be a repeat … Feng Zhi retracted his gaze and bitterly walked to the edge of the crater. He picked up the Heaven's Equal Sword.
"Old buddy, it's been hard on you …" he muttered to himself.
…
When Lou Cheng returned to the resting room, his assistant and doctor were already waiting at the door.
"Boss, you're really, really …" Auman couldn't find the words to describe it. She smiled brightly and gave him a thumbs up.
"Actually, it was very dangerous." Lou Cheng smiled and took the phone. He pushed the door open and entered. The doctor followed closely behind. Auman stayed outside.
Taking off his tattered martial arts suit, he took a quick shower. While enduring the pain, he let the doctor disinfect and bandage his wounds. At the same time, he unlocked his phone and turned on the screen. He saw Ke's comment,
"Somehow, it feels unreal …"
"My Brother Cheng is unbelievable!"
Lou Cheng replied in a carefree mood, "Even I can't believe it myself. Although this is how I wanted to win before the match, when it really went according to plan until the end, it felt too smooth. There were no accidents at all. It doesn't seem real!"
Ke 'er replied, "[Covering mouth and laughing expression] I've recovered! I've accepted this reality earlier than you! Hello, Demon King Cheng! "
After that, she added, "[Crying face expression] When you won just now, I shouted out loud in the classroom! Luckily, class hasn't started yet. It's just that everyone is looking at me strangely … "
"Touch touch touch, so cute! It's a pity that I wasn't there and couldn't record this scene! "Lou Cheng consoled sincerely. However, what he got in return was Ke 'er's disdainful expression.
After a while of chatting, Lou Cheng put down his phone under the doctor's gaze. He extended his arms and bandaged them. After seeing him off, he continued to discuss the match with Ke.
"I realized that in a battle between Physical Invulnerability experts, pure strength is the fundamental factor. However, it doesn't completely determine the outcome. Look, you caught Feng Zhi's blind spot and defeated him in his strongest area." Ke 'er concluded thoughtfully.
"Yeah." Lou Cheng thought for a moment before replying, "For a Physical Invulnerability expert, when the difference in strength isn't enough to cause a qualitative change, it's very important to discover the opponent's problem and plan accordingly. After today, Feng Zhi will definitely re-examine himself and make up for his mistakes. If I were to fight with him again, the outcome might be completely different. However, at that time, I might find a new problem with him. Of course, he might also find a problem with me. This is how unpredictable and interesting competitions are."
Speaking of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"From today onwards, not only do I have to watch my opponent's battle videos, I also have to review my previous matches and examine myself from the perspective of a bystander. I have to find my own problems!"
This was a part that he had neglected before!
"That makes sense … I'll look through it when I have the time. As the person involved, you won't be able to read it!" Yan Zheke agreed enthusiastically.
At this moment, Lou Cheng sent an emoji of covering his face and sighing. "Thinking back, I realized that my master had reminded me of this before. He said that I have to constantly examine myself to see if I have developed any bad habits or formed a fixed mindset …"
He used to do this when he was a Professional Ninth Pin Dan Stage fighter. After that, it became less and less frequent …
"As expected of Coach Shi … Quick, call him and thank him!" Ke 'er suggested.
"It's so awkward to suddenly call to thank him for something that happened a long time ago …" Lou Cheng replied.
At this moment, Yan Zheke looked at the digital clock and said, "I have to go to class ~"
"Yeah, I'm also going back to the hotel to examine myself." Lou Cheng replied with a silly smile.
Seeing this, Ke 'er replied with a blank expression,
"I suddenly feel that you might really achieve your goal this time …"
"I'm starting to regret my previous promise …"
Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh. After chatting for a while, he stepped into the car that was specially used to return to the hotel. While sitting in the car lazily, he leisurely browsed through the reports and comments.
"Super-class in one year, even stronger than Wisdom King in the same year!"
"Lou Cheng who is neither scientific nor martial arts!"
"Confidence in the heart, power in the words!"
"The future Warrior Sage or Dragon King!"
…
During the break in class, Yan Zheke also browsed through these articles discreetly. When she saw the parts that made her happy and satisfied, she almost changed her posture to a more comfortable one.
Luckily, she came to her senses in time. She quickly sat up straight and quietly looked around. When she saw that no one was looking, she put her phone back.
