In a blink of an eye, the time came two days later.
The day when the second round of the "Martial Arts Champion" competition begins.
Black cars departed from the Oriental Inn, carrying contestants and contest contacts to the Marina Arena.
These cars are all provided by sponsors and have the same logo. You don’t have to think about it to know that the manufacturer of this car has not only sponsored so many cars, but also sponsored a lot of advertising fees, so that it is qualified to provide cars to these players.
This is also a way for the "Wu Zhuangyuan" program team to generate income.
With the global popularity of "Wu Zhuang Yuan", every product that appears in the camera requires a large amount of advertising fees.
In one of the black cars, Li Zhongwu was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and concentrating. Today, he is still wearing a black gymnasium suit.
Yu Fengying was still wearing white practice clothes, and she was sitting next to Li Zhongwu.
She is introducing the current competition situation to Li Zhongwu.
"There are a total of 188 players participating this time. As I told you last time, 10 popular players were exempted from the preliminary round. In all preliminary rounds, there were only 178 players in total. In the first round of the preliminary round, the winner
89 players directly advanced to the second round, and the other 89 defeated players started the second game. The winning 44 players and one lucky person who had a bye could also advance to the second round.
Including the 10 players who were exempted from the preliminary round, the number of players who are finally qualified to participate in the second round of the competition is 144. According to the rules I understand, the second round of the competition is still a two-by-two duel, and the winner directly advances to the third place.
If there is a round of competition, the loser will compete again, and the winner will advance to the third round, while the loser will be eliminated directly."
Li Zhongwu, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, didn't seem to hear what she said, and his expression didn't change at all.
Because long before he came to participate in this "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition, he had learned from the Internet that the "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition would last for a period of time.
It's still very early for the competition to end.
There are 144 contestants left. For him, this competition is not much different from the beginning.
Maybe when it comes to the finals, he will pay more attention to it.
Now?
No matter what the competition format is, it makes no difference to him.
No matter who the opponent is, he has decided that after seeing the opponent, he will first give the opponent a progressive punch.
The progress of Xingyiquan and Bengquan are very clean and neat.
No need to fight, just a moment.
Only those who can block it are eligible to let him use other moves. Those who can't block it will fall down on the spot.
This is also the reason why Guo Yunshen, the master of Xingyiquan at that time, could defeat the world with only one move and half a step.
No one can catch Guo Yunshen's half-step collapse fist move, so Guo Yunshen can naturally use this move to deal with any opponent.
As for...
Why does Guo Yunshen use the half-step collapse fist, while Li Zhongwu uses the progressive collapse fist? Why is there a difference in the names of the moves?
In fact, it is simple, because Guo Yunshen originally practiced the progressive collapse boxing.
However, he was imprisoned after beating someone to death. Moreover, he was shackled all year round in the prison and the cell was too small. He was unable to practice the complete Advance Bengquan and had to only step out half a foot.
Take a step and punch.
It was under this situation that Guo Yunshen, who was in the cell, practiced only one and a half-step collapse fist day after day, year after year, and finally made this move his own instinct, and its power became more and more powerful.
The bigger.
After he was released from prison, he was no longer accustomed to using the complete progressive Bengquan, and he only used one and half-step Bengquan moves.
However, this move was a half-step collapse that no one could stop.
This is how the myth of Banbu Bengquan was achieved.
But this does not mean that the half-step Bengquan is stronger than the completed progressive Bengquan.
Because... Just imagine if when he was in prison, Guo Yunshen did not wear shackles on his feet, and the cell was large enough for him to perform the complete Progressive Bengquan. He had been in prison for many years, and the one move he practiced repeatedly and hard was the Progressive Bengquan.
If so, after he is released from prison, will anyone be able to stop him from doing this?
Therefore, the so-called half-step collapsing fist is a simplified move made as a last resort.
It shortens both the attack distance and the force exertion distance.
The suddenness of the attack is better than the complete progressive punch.
However, the punching power that finally explodes should be weakened due to the shortening of the distance at which the force is exerted.
Each has its own pros and cons, so it's hard to say which one is stronger.
What Li Zhongwu exchanged from the Main God Space was the complete Xingyiquan, and what he knew was also the complete Progressive Bengquan.
He really can't do half-step collapse fist.
but……
Does it matter?
With his skill, if he can't block the half-step Bengquan, can he block his progress of Bengquan?
"Brother Li, after today's game, may I treat you to dinner?"
Yu Fengying next to her saw that he had no reaction after listening to her introduction. Thinking of the last time he competed, one punch caused Jing Wuwei to vomit blood and fall to the ground. She blinked and softly issued an invitation.
In view of the fighting ability he showed in the last competition, she felt that he should still win today.
No matter what the final result of the competition was, she wanted to get closer to him at this time.
This mentality is normal, just like most people want to make friends with powerful or wealthy people.
Everyone generally regards this kind of relationship as their personal network.
I always feel that I might be able to use such connections in the future.
Even if it is not needed, it seems to be an honor to be able to make friends with such people.
Li Zhongwu opened his eyes and turned slightly to look at her.
Yu Fengying smiled and said: "This must be your first time to Binhai City, right? There are many scenic spots and delicious food here, and you probably don't know where they are. I can be your guide. Are you interested?"
Looking at her bright eyes and bright smile, Li Zhongwu was silent for two seconds and nodded slightly, "Then I'll trouble you."
He had just come to this era not long ago, and the only thing he knew a little bit about the entire Great Yan Dynasty was Tianfu City.
This Binhai City, which is more prosperous than Tianfu City, is indeed his first time here, and he really wants to know more about it.
"No trouble! It's my pleasure!"
Yu Fengying answered happily.
Li Zhongwu smiled faintly, looked away, and closed his eyes again.
The car drove smoothly to the Marina Arena.
After queuing for more than half an hour, Li Zhongwu and Yu Fengying got off the car and walked into the arena.
The stadium was already filled with darkness, and the number of spectators seemed to be larger than that of the last preliminary round.
This is normal, because today the 10 popular players who are exempted from the preliminary round will all show up.
Those 10 people are the favorites to win this competition.
In previous competitions, there was even a precedent for 10 popular players who were exempted from the preliminary rounds and eventually took the top three spots in the entire competition.
Therefore, it is normal that many kung fu fans are looking forward to the appearance of these 10 people.
After entering the venue, Yu Fengying led Li Zhongwu to the first row of auditoriums and sat down.
What surprised Li Zhongwu was that Peng Baoyang from last time was not sitting next to him today. The guy who likes women with big butts was not sitting next to him today. Li Zhongwu was still a little disappointed.
Because even though that guy was vulgar, he was... quite interesting.
Sitting on the other side of him today was a baby-faced young man holding a completely black sword in his hand.
Noticing the sword in the baby-faced young man's hand, Li Zhongwu frowned slightly, a little confused.
Because although the rules of this year's "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition have changed, after reaching the top twenty, you can choose to use weapons to fight.
But it is still very early to determine the top twenty.
There is no need for weapons at all today.
So, why is this baby-faced young man carrying a sword today?
The sword never leaves your body?
When Li Zhongwu was looking at this man, he had his eyes closed and seemed to be taking a nap. His head would move forward from time to time, like a chicken pecking at rice.
At this moment, Yu Fengying, who was sitting on the other side of Li Zhongwu, suddenly approached Li Zhongwu's ear and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, do you know this person?"
Li Zhongwu shook his head.
Yu Fengying frowned slightly and whispered: "Brother Li, he is Feather Sword Qian Ye. He is very famous. Have you heard of Qian Ye?"
Li Zhongwu turned to look at her, frowned and asked, "How famous are you?"
Yu Fengying was a little surprised that he had never heard of Qian Ye.
Blinking, I thought of the news reports about Li Zhongwu and how he was living in an isolated forest not long ago, and I felt relieved.
He lowered his voice and introduced: "He comes from Tianque City and is the number one master under the Third Prince. There are rumors that Qian Ye is invincible within ten steps without being worshiped by Ouchi."
Li Zhongwu raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at the baby-faced young man on the other side in surprise.
Is this guy such a dick?
Within ten steps, the world is invincible?
what about me?
Within ten steps, I am no match for this guy?
"Brother Li, it seems that you have no hope of winning the championship this time. Qian Ye is here, and the rules of the competition have also been changed. It seems that the champion of this competition must be him. The information of these seed players before was kept confidential.
, I really didn’t know that he also came to participate in this competition.”
Yu Fengying beside her whispered in Li Zhongwu's ear again.
Li Zhongwu smiled a little when he heard this.
Does this mean I have no hope of winning the championship?
Hagoromo Sword?
Is it so powerful?
…
After more than half an hour, the four hosts ran into the arena with smiles on their faces, enthusiastically encouraging the atmosphere as they ran.
Ding Xie: "Welcome to the large-scale competitive program "Wu Zhuangyuan" created by Binhai Media. I am the host Ding Xie, welcome everyone!!"
Fang Qing: "Welcome to viewers from all over the world, I am the host Fang Qing!"
Wang Bing: "What you are watching is the 36th "Martial Arts Champion" competition. I am the host Wang Bing!!"
Liu Zhenhui: "I am the host Liu Zhenhui. Our competition has entered a more exciting second round. The 10 seed players of this competition will officially meet with you today. They are..."
At this point, she paused, then stopped, pointed to a place in the first row of the auditorium, and suddenly shouted: "The winner of the last "Wu Zhuang Yuan" - Wu Zhuang Yuan Oleg!!"
Let us welcome him with a warm round of applause!!”
Before he finished speaking, warm applause erupted from the audience.
Although Oleg is not from Dayan, he took the top spot in martial arts last year, which made many people in Dayan very unhappy.
But today on this occasion, there are not only a large number of Dayan people in the auditorium, but also many spectators from all over the world.
The most important thing is that Oleg's participation again will definitely make this competition more intense and exciting.
And this is something that all Kung Fu fans love to hear.
Therefore, there was a wave of applause at this time.
In the audience, Oleg, who was pointed by Yoo Jin-hye, grinned, stood up with his huge body, and waved his arms around.
And his response made the applause at the scene even more enthusiastic, and many audience members began to shout his name.
Obviously, many people in the stadium today are fans of Oleg.
Ding Xie: "The second seed player is... the master Qian Ye from Tianque City!! Let us also welcome him with warm applause!!"
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Qian Ye in the audience.
Qian Ye, who was sitting next to Li Zhongwu, didn't seem to hear him. His head was still pecking at rice like a chicken, moving forward little by little, with his eyes still closed.
Yao Danhong, the competition contact person sitting on the other side of him, saw this and quickly touched Qian Ye's arm quietly, which woke Qian Ye up. After opening his eyes, Qian Ye looked at the tens of thousands of spectators who were applauding enthusiastically in the entire venue.
He noticed that everyone was applauding and looking in his direction.
Yao Danhong quickly came close to his ear and reminded urgently: "Cousin, the host has just introduced you, and everyone is applauding to welcome you! Stand up quickly and respond."
Qian Ye was a little surprised and looked at her.
Yao Danhong winked at him repeatedly, urging him to stand up quickly.
Qian Ye looked at the gradually decreasing applause around him, hesitated slightly, then he held the sword in his hands, stood up with a smile, and waved to everyone around him.
The applause that had already subsided immediately became louder because he finally stood up to respond. At the same time, some fans shouted his name.
Qian Ye simply waved his hand and sat down again.
When he sat down, he opened his mouth and yawned.
It seems that he didn't sleep well just now.
Li Zhongwu, who was sitting next to him, saw all this scene.
I felt a little emotional that Qian Ye was a bit of a dick, he was actually sleeping just now.
At this time, the host Fang Qing continued to introduce with a smile on his face: "The third seeded player is also a master from Tianque City. He is... Zhu Qihen, the number one master of Lianshan Boxing Gym!! Everyone is welcome!!
"
The name Zhu Qihen didn't make any sense to Li Zhongwu.
Because he had never heard of it before.
But the warm applause that immediately broke out at the scene told him that Zhu Qihen should also be famous.
Just at this time, Yu Fengying introduced softly in his ear: "Brother Li, you have probably never heard of Zhu Qihen, right? I didn't expect him to come too. The competition in this competition is so fierce that it is unprecedented. Not only did the previous one
The top martial arts scholar of the year is here, and masters like Qian Ye and Zhu Qihen are also here."
After a pause, she continued: "Brother Li, this Zhu Qihen is also very special. The Lianshan Shibapa of Lianshan Boxing Gym is very famous. Zhu Qihen is a master. The key is that I heard that he just recently
He has also awakened his superpower. With his extraordinary abilities and special powers, he is definitely the biggest dark horse in this competition! Brother Li, I am afraid that the top three in this competition will be taken by these three people. Alas
!The competition in this year’s “Wu Zhuangyuan” is too fierce!”
Li Zhongwu: "???"
You just introduced the three seed players, and you said that these three people are going to take the top three spots in this competition?
Is this Zhu Qihen the biggest dark horse?
According to what you say, should I, Mr. Li, go home?
