A day later, the flames of Warrior Sage Battle reignited. Jiuwen Stadium welcomed the round of 16.
In the first match, Dragon King and Zhi Hai fought like Mars colliding with Earth. The former, who wasn't injured, displayed terrifying dominance, proving once again that the era of the Legendary Twins was far from over.
However, to be able to obtain two titles within five years of reaching the Physical Invulnerability stage, Zhi Hai wasn't a cheater. With the strength of the Unshaken Body of the Wisdom King and the perseverance of an ascetic monk, he made the Dragon King, Chen Qitao, pay a certain price. While the audience cheered, Lou Cheng was speechless.
In the next three matches, Kirin Dong Baxian didn't let Dragon King dominate. After a fierce battle, he narrowly defeated the Sect Leader of Black Tortoise Sect, Long Dike That Protects the Sea, Ma Xinghong, who was also a titled Mighty One.
Lu Yongyuan's saber skills had reached perfection, and he lived up to his reputation of being strong when facing strong opponents. He defeated the previous record holder, Queen of Thought, Fei Dan. (Currently, the top three titles are Warrior Sage Qian Donglou, Queen of Thought Fei Dan, and Taoist Sword Wu Qiao. Dragon King Chen Qitao is only ranked fourth for now, but there's only one or two titles between them. It's only a matter of time before he catches up with the two seniors. His only target is Qian Donglou.)
Ren Li's good luck didn't last long against the First Pin Mighty One, Luo Xian. After all, there was still a big gap between their strength. In terms of the bet, even if Lou Cheng lost the match, he would still be considered to have lasted longer.
After four of the top eight were decided, Lou Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa in the resting room, stretched his neck and stood up slowly.
Amid the crackling sounds of his bones and tendons, Yan Zheke replied. [Hands on chest, nodding expression].
[Your personal cheerleader is in position!]
It was the weekend, and she didn't have anything else to do. She could stay at home and watch the live stream without worrying about her performance.
Why does it feel like I'm replenishing my energy … Lou Cheng chuckled and replied to Yan Zheke teasingly. Then, he locked his screen and walked out.
Auman was already waiting for him. She took his phone, wallet, and other belongings from him.
Lou Cheng walked towards the exit unhurriedly. There was no door, only a gorgeous shed, as though it was announcing the identity of every person who walked out.
At the edge, Lou Cheng stopped, closed his eyes, and allowed his mind to enter his body.
It was a subtle and indescribable feeling. He seemed to be looking at the root pulp. It was the smallest and most basic unit that made up the internal organs, flesh, and other things. It was densely packed and there was nothing missing.
The moment Lou Cheng saw this scene, they came to life in an instant, stretching out and showing their existence. They were countless "fireflies", forming a world of their own inside, a miniature universe with dark, deep, and starry specks hidden within.
They hummed softly, swayed, and stirred each other, gathering the tides of life.
Lou Cheng could hear the faint sound of gushing into his mind. It was vigorous, strong, secretive, and thick!
After discussing the issue of heat control with Ning Zitong, Lou Cheng consulted his master and had a preliminary understanding of it. However, if he wanted to truly grasp this point and turn it into his own strength, he would need at least a few months or even a year to do so. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to succeed. He merely digested what he had learned in the previous matches and adjusted his state of mind.
Using the momentum accumulated from his consecutive victories against strong opponents, at this moment, he felt his mind and spirit were perfect. Naturally, he could see and hear the resonance of his root pulp.
Other than some residual injuries and his body not at its peak, there was nothing else that could be better … Lou Cheng took a deep breath and smelled the scent of battle.
He opened his eyes slowly and stepped out of the exit. He passed through the shed and stepped into the competition grounds.
"Lou Cheng!"
Cheers surged, as if welcoming a new king.
"Lou Cheng!"
Huang Ke, who had also stopped in the inner part of the shed, listened to the roaring cheers outside. There was no change of emotion on his wooden face.
Compared to when he was young, his temper was much better now. It had been a long time since he had the urge to destroy.
Since he was young, Huang Ke was the kind of dog that didn't bark but would bite. He was usually silent and inflexible with words. He seemed like an honest and nice guy. However, once he was provoked and his anger accumulated to a certain extent, he would explode uncontrollably. He would really beat people to death and destroy things beyond repair. If he hadn't dropped out of school right after he started practicing martial arts and had a powerful teacher to look after him, the grass on his grave would have been three feet tall.
This also affected his progress in his realm. It was only when he gradually got control of his temper that he transformed into an Inhuman. From then on, he embarked on the path of the Spear King.
When the cheers outside subsided, Huang Ke walked out slowly. He happened to step on the critical moment when the atmosphere changed, causing the cheers of Lou Cheng to pause.
He had carefully analyzed the past thirty matches of his opponents. The first conclusion he came up with was that the biggest problem of those who were stronger than Lou Cheng but lost to him was that they didn't adopt the right attitude. Although they took him seriously and gave their all, they still fought with a strong performance. They still treated their opponent as the weaker party and didn't leave any leeway. Once an accident happened or they made a mistake, it was easy for them to fall into a difficult situation. Long Zhen, the God-Slaying Saber, Lu Yongyuan, was a typical example.
When fighting Lou Cheng, they had to lower their attitude and treat him as an enemy of the same level or even stronger. The Heaven's Equal Sword, Feng Zhi, did well in this aspect. If he hadn't been so confident in his flight and made the fatal mistake of being careless, the outcome would have been different. The situation before the "Aerial Battle" was sufficient to prove this point.
After examining himself and confirming that there were no similar problems, Huang Ke held the Ice Chi Spear upside down and placed the pole behind his back. He slowly walked to the predetermined position and looked up at his opponent.
He had a neat and clean buzz cut, a pair of sparkling eyes, a well-defined silhouette, and a deep and dark navy blue martial arts suit. He seemed to be in harmony with the outside world, yet seemed to be a world of his own. Together, they outlined a martial artist who would never bend or admit defeat.
In Lou Cheng's eyes, the dull and ordinary Huang Ke wasn't as eye-catching as the astonishingly long Ice Chi Spear. It was as tall as two people, and the pole was made of a special silver alloy. The tip of the spear shone with a cold and crystalline light. The entire spear trembled slightly in the wind, giving the impression that it was breathing in and out. It was as though it wasn't a weapon, but a sleeping dragon with a life of its own.
The referee started the conversation at the right time. The usually dull Huang Ke opened his mouth and said in a low voice,
"I thought this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."
After Lou Cheng reached Physical Invulnerability, it was only a matter of time before they met. No one would find it strange. But who would have thought that in less than a year, his opponent would stand opposite him as a "super-class"?
Hearing this, Lou Cheng, whose heart was calm, smiled faintly and said,
"Me too."
Huang Ke didn't say anything else. It was as though he had turned into an ice sculpture. However, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. The fog thinned and snowflakes fell, creating a chilly and somber atmosphere in the early summer of May.
If it had been someone weaker, they would have shivered uncontrollably and lost the will to fight.
Darkness suddenly appeared around Lou Cheng. It was hazy and silent. No ripples could be seen.
Then, a cold wind blew out from the dense fog. It whimpered and filled the air with bitter coldness. The referee, who was about to leave, felt that the snowflakes had hidden sharpness, as though they would stab him at any time.
This was a battle between the coldness of the Ice Chi and the coldness of the Starry Sky!
In the face of Huang Ke's oppressive aura, Lou Cheng didn't use the Fire Sect that countered it. He didn't gather the Five Flames and create the Flame Realm.
This was because when he reviewed his recent matches and recalled his past battles, he had a habit of forming the Five Flames first when facing a strong opponent. He relied on the uniqueness of the Cosmic Universe Style to maintain the balance and prepare in advance.
This was his own advantage, so of course, he had to make full use of it. However, the problem was that if it became a habit and a starting move that he didn't change at all, it would be easy for others to target him and counter him with methods he didn't think of beforehand. In the previous battle with Long Zhen, he had suffered because of this. If it wasn't for his opponent's impatience and confidence, which led to him using the Nine Words Formula, things would have been completely different.
Therefore, he had to take the initiative to change and not leave behind a pattern!
Of course, he couldn't change for the sake of change. That would be an even more serious mistake. He had to change according to the situation and the situation. When clashing with the coldness, the darkness of the Universe was equally suitable.
Pieces of goose feathers fluttered in the wind, getting more and more urgent. Just as the bleakness and coldness reached its peak, the referee in the distance shouted,
"Begin!"
Bam! Huang Ke was the first to move. He didn't charge straight at Lou Cheng. Instead, he swung his body, stirring up the wind and snow, as though he was roaming and waiting for an opportunity. He lowered his posture.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The wind whistled. Amidst the white haze, Lou Cheng turned his back and used his footwork. He didn't stay in the same spot, but instead took the initiative.
Bam bam bam! The strong wind was biting cold. Huang Ke and Lou Cheng were like navies in the era of battleships. They constantly changed their positions, searching for the best angle and opportunity to attack.
Bam!
After many twists and turns, a vast expanse of white snow suddenly covered Lou Cheng from head to toe. Just as it approached, an "aurora" suddenly emerged from within.
Fast, accurate, ruthless!
Light, cold, illusion!
