This disciple competition ended with Xin Ling losing to Zhao Zheng, and it came to a successful conclusion. Jin Tai stood up and gave a speech, encouraging the two young men with a few words and promising corresponding rewards to each.
After the disciple competition ended, the Taishan Sect held a grand dinner at noon, with about three hundred people attending. As for those who could not attend, they could also have a much richer meal at noon than usual, which can be said to be
Everyone is happy.
In the afternoon, it’s time to hold the Cuju competition, the second important event of the mid-year event. This kind of competition is even slightly more interesting and enjoyable than the disciple competition, and more people pay attention to it. The holding of the Cuju competition
The location is the same place where the disciple competition is held. The arena is only three feet away from Jucheng. In terms of the strength of Jucheng, it is even stronger than the arena.
At this time, Jucheng had already been repainted, and red and blue flags of two different colors were planted on the east and west sides. The red flag said the word "Eastern Army" and the blue flag said the word "Western Army". As for the romantic flags used in the competition,
The eyes have been set up a long time ago, and they are all made of the strongest materials to avoid being crushed by the huge force.
Head Jintai gave an order and announced the entry of the teams. There were four teams participating this time, all of which were organized by people within the sect. The team names were Fire Dragon Team, Linghu Team, Cangsong Team and Sharp Blade Team.
.The participating teams in the first game are the Fire Dragon Team and the Blade Team, and the participating teams in the next game are the Spirit Fox Team and Cangsong Team. Each of the two games will determine a winner, and then the final winner will be determined.
"Young and old men, work harder. You must win this game and not lose. You must win!" Che Dali clapped his big hands twice and encouraged his team members.
Zhao Zheng and other sixteen team members responded with a roar. They all expressed their determination. Especially Zhao Zheng himself showed a determined look. This Cuju competition is no longer that simple for him.
The agreement he made with Xia Bafeng, he must win today.
Not far away, the members of the Blade Team also said the same thing and cast hostile eyes over them. Although everyone was from the same sect, there was still a sense of tension in this kind of competition.
Zhao Zheng tightened his belt, rolled up his sleeves, and got ready to play. He was now wearing the uniform of the Fire Dragons, all in bright red, and he moved like a blazing flame.
At this moment, a malicious voice reached Zhao Zheng's ears: "Don't forget our bet. If you lose, you have to kowtow three times in front of Wang Meng's grave.
"
Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the sound, and walked over to the resting seat not far away. Xia Bafeng led the members of the Spirit Fox Team to sit there. The leader Xia Bafeng looked at him coldly. What he said just now was obviously this.
It was said by people through sound transmission.
"I won't forget, and you shouldn't forget either." Zhao Zheng replied in a faint voice, and then led the crowd into the gate of Jucheng and entered the spacious rectangular space. The ground was soft and flat.
It's very comfortable up there. On the Chu-He-Han boundary in the middle, there is a brand new ball. There is also a referee standing by the wall, holding a bell in his hand to announce the start of the game. The position they were assigned today is
In the west formation, a group of people formed a row and walked to the west formation.
As soon as they saw the two teams entering Jucheng, the surrounding crowd immediately burst into cheers.
"The east and west teams line up!" the referee raised his hands and shouted, letting the game enter the first stage.
Formation means setting up a formation. The formation has a great impact on the outcome of the Cuju game. This impact is especially prominent when the two teams are evenly matched.
In order to match the name of the team and to achieve a balance of offense and defense, the Fire Dragons set up a "Dragon Dance Formation". The entire team formed a zigzag line and occupied the entire west formation. This formation can be used to attack in a roundabout way and retreat.
But the horizontal team's defense is very average in both aspects.
The Blades team on the opposite side set up a "goose wing formation". This formation is just like the formation of wild geese when they fly south. Three people stay at the front in the middle, and the others spread out from the two wings. It is a typical formation.
An offensive formation. Once this formation is broken through from the front, it will be difficult to form a defense.
The people of both teams stood firm at their positions, looking eagerly ahead, each one like an arrow on a string, ready to go.
As the head of the ball, Zhao Zheng is located at the leading position of the Dragon Dance Formation. He is the closest to the ball on the Chuhe-Han boundary. He is only one foot away and can cross it in one step. He is also looking ahead like the others, and his five senses have already been activated.
, and increased his internal strength to the maximum, absorbing all the disturbances around him. His eyes were very divergent, not only staring at the motionless ball, but also staring at several heads of the Blades. That one
The blood became hot at some point.
Seeing that both teams were in formation, the referee raised the bell high and swung it vigorously, and the clear ringing of the bell suddenly rang throughout the audience.
At the moment when the bell rang for the first time, the heads of both teams moved at the same time upon hearing the sound, with almost the same speed. Judging from their reactions and speed, these people were all at the sixth level of cultivation and had all the strength.
They are on par. It is precisely because of their confidence in their strength that the Blades have deployed their all-out attacking Goose Wings Formation.
In just an instant, Zhao Zheng and the opponent's ball heads rushed to Ju Qiu. In comparison, Zhao Zheng was a step ahead. After all, the Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing and Luo Yanbu he practiced were not in vain.
, there are few warriors of the same level who can surpass him in speed.
After so many days of hard training, Zhao Zheng is no longer the stupid young man he was at the beginning. His Cuju kicking skills have improved dramatically, and he understands the importance of cooperation. When he stepped on the Cuju ball, he did not blindly take it.
Instead of attacking the ball, he dug his heel and passed the ball to the ball head behind him.
Several members of the Blade Team were just about to attack Zhao Zheng, but when they saw that the ball had been passed through, they had to restrain their moves. Only one person's move had been used and could no longer be taken back, and he used a powerful sweep.
The kick was violently swept towards Zhao Zheng's calf. Zhao Zheng quickly jumped up and used a roc to spread his wings, dodging this kick. A large amount of soil was lifted up by this kick and spread around.
Zhao Zheng was in mid-air. He exerted his force for the second time, and his whole body made a crisp sound caused by the violent internal force. He raised his body again, maintained the posture of a roc spreading its wings, passed over the heads of several members of the Blade Team, and jumped to the range of the east formation.
Inside, the defense of the Wild Goose Wing Formation is empty. Behind the two wings is a large open space with no one guarding it. There is only one blocker in front of Feng Liu. Zhao Zheng jumped here, as if entering a deserted land, rushed forward, and looked back to pay attention.
The situation of the Western Front.
The people of the Fire Dragon Team did not disappoint Zhao Zheng who had entered the enemy's camp. They cooperated skillfully and passed the ball from left to right, never letting the ball fall into the hands of the Blade Team. I don't know how many times they passed it, but suddenly something happened.
One person seized the opportunity and kicked the ball sharply, and shot the ball past the defense line of the Blades' Heyi Formation and into the East Formation.
Zhao Zheng was overjoyed and ran towards the place where the ball must pass. He jumped up at the best time. When he jumped up, the ball had already flown in front of him. He calculated the timing just right.
Taking advantage of the situation, he used a roundhouse kick and hit the ball hard. The ball took advantage of the force for the second time in mid-air, suddenly accelerated, changed its flight path, and flew towards the blocker responsible for blocking the ball! This was not
Zhao Zheng missed the kick, but he did it deliberately, just to use the ball to block the opponent's block.
In the Cuju game, you can't use your internal force to the outside. To block the ball, you can only stretch out your hands to catch the ball, and use both hands to firmly grasp the sides of the ball. However, the power of this kick exceeded his expectation, and he could not completely catch the ball.
It crossed his hands, and then hit him hard on the chest. The man groaned and was knocked back a few steps, until he hit the iron rod of Feng Liuyan before stopping.
The ball bounced up under the force of the collision and flew into the air. A strong figure flashed to the side, caught the ball with his feet, and kicked it out. The ball rushed towards Feng Liuyan for the second time, this time
He no longer aimed at the blockers, but at the empty ring.
The blocker's chest was still aching and he had suffered a lot of internal injuries. When he jumped up, the ball had already passed through the ring without even scratching the edge. It was a hollow ball with perfect accuracy.
!
The person who shot the goal was naturally Zhao Zheng. He landed on the ground heroically and shook his right foot that had just scored a point. There was still a faint feeling of pain on the foot. However,
The pain is worth it.
As soon as there was a loud bang, the onlookers burst into cheers, and everyone's emotions were heightened by this goal.
Since the start of the game, only half a stick of incense has passed. In such a short period of time, the Fire Dragons took the lead and won by one point, and they won so beautifully. No wonder the onlookers cheered. The onlookers cheered.
Among them, only about one-fifth of the people could fully see what happened just now. The more people just saw a fiery red figure flashing twice quickly in mid-air, and then the ball shot through
Fengliuyan. This lightning-fast movement gave them even more shock.
Zhao Zheng listened to the deafening cheers, rolled up his somewhat loose sleeves, and walked back to the Western Front with a smile. When the members of the Fire Dragon Team saw him, they all greeted him with smiles and gave him a thumbs up. Win
After scoring this first goal, the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted, and everyone was in high spirits, as if victory was already within their grasp.
On the other hand, the faces of the people in the Blade Team were not so pretty.
The referee walked to the east formation, picked up the ball that still had a faint burning feeling, put it back on the Chu-He-Han boundary, then returned to its original position, and rang the bell for the second time. (To be continued...)
