"I'm so close to the elixir realm..." On the sofa, Old Man Shi stared at the TV, holding wine in his hand and dishes in front of him.
As a master, since he had nothing to do, he would undoubtedly care about the current situation of his disciples. However, he had been shocked, no, surprised, over and over again by Lou Cheng's rapid progress and transformation, and he had long been used to it and became numb.
It even feels like "it's true".
Has he given up on combining things with cultivation?
No, if this brat really gives up, he will definitely call me and ask for advice on the content of normal alchemy realm cultivation. Since he didn't do this, it means that he has initially achieved his goal!
And with his limit, without mutation, he would not be able to complete six consecutive explosions. Is this partly a combination of the benefits of cultivation?
As a strong man from Waigang, how could Old Man Shi not notice when Lou Cheng was at his limit? It was just not accurate enough. Therefore, unlike what Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke thought, only the two of them knew about Lou Cheng.
He is also tired and tired, which also makes Old Man Shi very confused about Lou Cheng's current situation.
What on earth did this kid do?
Confused, old man Shi looked at the cell phone next to him. However, since the last time he asked for advice, the brat had not called for a long, long time. He even seemed to have forgotten to report when he was about to reach the Dan Realm.
This makes me a very boring master...
The forgotten lonely old man...
…………
As soon as Lou Cheng got his cell phone back from the competition supervisor, he was blocked by a reporter dressed as a white-collar beauty. In front of him were long guns and short cannons ready to go.
"Hello Lou Cheng, I'm Wu Wei, a reporter from Xing Provincial TV. Can you do an interview? It won't take long." The white-collar beauty showed a professional smile and handed over the microphone in her hand.
"Okay." Lou Cheng turned around slightly and faced the camera.
Wu Wei said with a smile: "You are the first warrior to defeat a seeded player since the start of the competition. It is quite an upset. Before that, you seemed to be unknown. Not only did we not know about it, but even the organizing committee
It doesn’t seem clear that the strength you have shown is enough to become a seed.”
She was also present at the youth competition dinner that day and did several exclusive interviews, deliberately bringing up this topic in order to stir up controversy and hype.
"Maybe it's because I've been studying in college abroad and am not well-known in the province. Moreover, I have made great progress in the recent period. You can't tell just by watching the videos of previous games." Lou Cheng was quite calm.
replied.
Wu Wei was slightly disappointed, and then asked with a smile: "Are you really just learning martial arts for a year? I'm very curious about this, and the audience in front of the TV should be very curious too."
"I started practicing martial arts in October last year." Lou Cheng didn't hide anything. Information about this can be easily found online.
"One Year Alchemy Realm... What a rare genius!" Wu Wei did not hesitate to praise her.
Since there was a broadcast later and there was very little time left for the interview, she did not expand on the topic and continued to ask: "Is this your first time fighting a warrior who mainly uses supernatural powers? It seems that you can win quite easily. What's wrong?
What do you think?"
"It's not easy. The fighting style of warriors who mainly use supernatural powers is very different from normal, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Although I seemed to be fine just now, in fact, I have been walking on a tightrope, almost to the limit." Lou Cheng said modestly.
As for how close it is to the limit, guess it yourself!
"Is that so..." Wu Wei glanced at other arenas and asked the last question, "Lou Cheng, what is your goal for participating in the youth competition this time? Top 16?"
They all fought at full strength. Lou Cheng felt that being too humble would be hypocritical, so he was neither humble nor overbearing, and answered confidently and calmly:
"Top four."
The first four are not fourth, but include fourth, third, second and first!
"Top four..." Wu Wei was pleasantly surprised, feeling that she had finally hit the big time, "Then I wish you success, and thank you for accepting the interview."
…………
Since it was between games, some large screens were replaying the previous battles, and some used live broadcast signals to transmit the interviews just now to thousands of viewers at the scene.
"The top four..." Zhang Zhutong had already stretched out his fists in his pockets. He was watching the broadcast on the big screen and listening to Lou Cheng's calm answer. He raised his brows and suddenly felt the will to fight in his heart.
This is not due to grudges or jealousy, it is purely a matter of a warrior** who wants to defeat a powerful enemy.
Top four? It depends on your luck!
Han Zhifei ran his fingers over the scar on his face and whispered to himself:
"The top four..."
What a coincidence, that’s my goal too!
And I also want to compete for the championship!
"The top four..." Han Ying and Xiong Yu were both murmuring to themselves. They didn't feel that Lou Cheng was arrogant, shallow or overestimating his abilities at all.
A person in the quasi-dan realm who can complete six consecutive explosions is qualified to say such a thing!
"Top four!" Qi Yunfei's eyes lit up, she raised her hands and cheered loudly, "Brother Lou Cheng is so handsome!"
The plain "top four" is not like talking about the desired goal, but announcing the predetermined result!
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, in a satellite TV interview covering an unknown number of people, I gave such an answer with that confidence and magnanimity...
Brother Lou Cheng is so handsome!
"I have to get more autographs from Chengzi... Maybe I can make a fortune in the future..." Jiang Fei muttered to himself unambitiously, causing Cao Lele, Qiu Hailin and others to come to their senses and burst into laughter.
This was the first time for Qi Fang and Lou Zhisheng to see their son on "TV". When they recalled the way he ran around in crotchless pants when he was a child, they felt a little emotional for a moment.
…………
As soon as Lou Cheng walked out of the venue and entered the stand area, Wu Ting, Zhang Qiufan and other half-grown children appeared in front of him.
Both of them were so excited that their faces were flushed, their eyes were bright, and they expressed their thoughts noisily and unorganized:
You are so awesome!"
"You were so handsome just now!"
"**Bakuten!"
Lou Cheng smiled and shook his head, stretched out his right hand and gave them a celebratory high-five, making them even more excited.
At this time, Wei Renjie took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Xiaolou, we have known each other for almost half a year, but I never realized that you are such an outstanding warrior. My old eyes are dim, my old eyes are dim, I
I really can’t imagine that someone who has been practicing martial arts for such a short time can be so powerful.”
"Half a year ago, I never thought I would be where I am now, let alone you, Chairman?" Lou Cheng responded with a smile.
This is also true. During the winter vacation, I wanted to enter the Dan realm within one to two years.
After a few pleasantries, Wei Renjie took the initiative and asked: "Xiaolou, are you interested in joining Xiushan's selection team and making a contribution to your hometown?"
He knew there was little hope. If Lou Cheng really wanted to participate in the selection, Chu Wei would not fail to mention it.
"Chairman, you know, I am studying in Songcheng and there is a university martial arts club. I have no time or energy to do it. I am powerless." Lou Cheng politely declined the invitation.
This is what he has always thought and will not waver in any way.
You can't pick sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. You must understand the key points in life.
"I understand, I understand." Wei Renjie sighed and suddenly smiled, "In this case, let me ask you one more thing. After this youth competition is over, we will officially form a team and conduct special training.
At that time, many strong people will be invited to be instructors. I wonder if you are interested in this? The remuneration is negotiable."
Instructor? Remuneration? Lou Cheng thought about the arrangements for August and answered with some excitement:
"Let me see if I have time."
"Okay, you've decided to give me a call." Wei Renjie exchanged numbers with Lou Cheng.
After dealing with the students in the VIP class, Lou Cheng waved to his parents in the stands and Qin Rui and others further away, and pointed to his cell phone, indicating that he had to call first if he had anything to do.
He walked along the aisle, left the venue, found a secluded place, and dialed a number.
There is no doubt that this is Coach Yan's number.
"Hello?" Yan Zheke looked happy when he saw the call, his eyes softened, and he sat up cross-legged.
Lou Cheng, who had been posing confidently and casually during the satellite TV interview just now, leaned against the wall in the corner without any image, and said with a smile: "Did you see that?"
Did you see the surprise I gave you?
"What did you see? Huh, I didn't see anything!" Yan Zheke had enough tacit understanding to understand what Lou Cheng meant, and said coquettishly, "You are almost completely 'returning to the strength'. You must not have realized it recently. You
You've been hiding it from me for a long time, you're so good at hiding it! I'm sure I won't be able to find out anything you hide from me in the future!"
Uh, this direction is a bit wrong... Lou Cheng hurriedly gathered his energy and said with a smile: "Isn't this a surprise for you? Do you know what surprises there are in advance? Besides, it's also because we don't do morning exercises together every day, otherwise I would
I can't hide it even if I want to. When we get married and live together every day, what else can I hide from you, the famous detective?"
"Who wants to marry you!" Yan Zheke was so embarrassed that she hit the stuffed doll.
Chengzi speaks without restraint!
We still live together every day!
Hehe... Lou Cheng, who successfully changed the topic, said with a smile: "The game is over. Coach Yan, don't you praise me?"
"Why are you complimenting me?" Yan Zheke asked with the corners of his mouth raised.
"You say Lou Cheng is so awesome! Lou Cheng is so majestic! Lou Cheng is awesome!" Lou Cheng joked exaggeratedly, expressing his joy at defeating Liu Xunzhen.
"Pfft..." Yan Zheke's eyes rolled, and he fell to the side with a smile, "Chengzi, you are getting more and more funny, and your face is getting thicker and thicker!"
"Enlivenment makes the atmosphere more lively." Lou Cheng replied humbly.
When she heard him say this, her heart suddenly moved. She held back her laughter, covered her face with one hand, closed her eyes, and shouted in an exaggerated tone:
"Lou Cheng is so awesome! Lou Cheng is so majestic! Lou Cheng is so awesome!"
After shouting, Yan Zheke even laughed out loud.
It’s over, I was infected by the orange and became exaggerated. I’m not shy or impetuous!
"Haha." Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and his body and mind became comfortable. When his laughter stopped, his emotions surged, and he asked softly, "Keke, when will you come back?"
"There are still two or three days left...I have almost started to practice internal training." Yan Zheke also fell silent for a moment, and couldn't bear the throbbing in his heart and said, "Wait for me."
"Two or three days? Don't worry, you can definitely wait for it!" Lou Cheng made a promise.
…………
In the afternoon, Lou Cheng drew a strong nine in the fifth game of the third arena, but before it was his turn, enough people were eliminated in the previous games, so there was no need to compete later.
He officially became the top 32 in this tournament.
After having dinner with his parents and taking a walk, he returned to the hotel.
When he entered the lobby, he found that many people had shifted their gazes and looked at him, seeming to point.
After the satellite TV broadcast this, I became famous among the martial arts enthusiasts in the province... He shook his head and smiled, then put the matter behind him in the blink of an eye, and the main thing is to enter the Dan Realm as soon as possible.
…………
The next morning, just after returning from exercise, Lou Cheng received a call from Yan Zheke.
"Chengzi, your opponent has come out..." The girl's tone was a little strange.
The opponent for the top 32 knockout round has come out? What time is it? Lou Cheng asked in surprise: "Who is it?"
Yan Zheke cleared his throat: "Sister Jingjing, she is related to the Xing Province Martial Arts Association. We will know the results of the lottery as soon as they come out."
