While Xu Wannian was in shock and uncertainty, the opening ceremony of the National University Martial Arts Association started on time, with the Songda Symphony Band playing first, and then the youthful and lively dance troupe showing off their beautiful figures.
"You can take a nap after watching the dance." Cai Zongming yawned with experience.
Lou Cheng also deliberately made a fearful expression: "During the opening ceremony, the principal talked nonsense for an hour and a half. If he still does this today, will he be beaten?"
"I don't know if he will be beaten, but he is not the only one who talks a lot of nonsense today. I watched last year's opening ceremony video a few days ago, and I still remember the long nonsense of the president of the Martial Arts Federation, which almost hypnotized me.
." Cai Zongming had a "generous sacrifice" on his face.
In the front row of the guest seats, where the martial arts club of Shanbei University is located, Xu Wannian listened to the speech of the president of Songcheng University, his eyes were obviously tired, he wanted to sleep but didn't dare to sleep, there was a live broadcast on TV today!
"That's so eloquent..." The corner of the handsome young man with freckles next to him twitched his mouth, "Senior Brother Xu, can you give that old man a 'crow's mouth' so that he forgets his words and loses his manuscript and has a high blood pressure attack or something?
."
Xu Wannian was silent for a moment and sighed: "I think so too, the distance is too far!"
As he said that, he looked at Peng Leyun next to him: "At this time, I envy and admire Junior Brother Peng the most. No matter whether there are people around, he can think about life and wander around. I suspect that, in fact, he
He has the power to sleep with his eyes open!"
"I'm also very envious of Brother Leyun. He can be in a daze on the spot while talking." Other members of the martial arts club echoed.
"Please keep your voice down." The instructor of the Shandong University Martial Arts Club sitting in the front row turned around and said. He was middle-aged, with white hair, sunken eye sockets, and an old-fashioned temperament. His prestige in the Martial Arts Club seemed to be pretty good, so everyone immediately fell silent.
Half an hour later, Cai Zongming's eyes were dull and he was about to fall asleep:
"Cheng Zi, let's chat, otherwise I will fall asleep standing up and roll down the steps, and then I will become a national joke!"
"I think the principal has almost finished speaking. There are so many guests today and everyone has to say a few words. If he takes too long, the opening ceremony won't be allowed to last until dawn?" Lou Cheng comforted himself.
The atmosphere created by the dance and music just now has dropped to freezing point.
Lou Cheng had just finished speaking, and it seemed that there was really a time limit for his speech. The principal stopped abruptly, rushed to the end, and bowed and left the stage with a look on his face that was still unfinished.
Bang bang bang!
Sincere and warm applause erupted in the stadium, almost knocking off the roof.
Lou Cheng and Cai Zongming also clapped vigorously, feeling like they had escaped from a catastrophe, and thanked the principal for saving his life!
"Now, Mr. Fang Jinjue, President of the National University Martial Arts Federation, will give a speech." The host invited the next guest.
"..." Cai Zongming opened his mouth slightly, "Chengzi, let's chat."
Lou Cheng looked forward, looking at the cameras at various locations, and said to himself:
"What should we talk about?"
"Do you know that there is a special competition system for team competition martial arts competitions?" Cai Zongming chatted wholeheartedly.
"I didn't crawl out of the grave, how could I not know? Normally, there are three warriors from each side, who come on the stage in order, and there is a one-on-one confrontation. The winner stays and the loser gets eliminated. Which side's three warriors are all eliminated?
Elimination counts as a loss, but sometimes, you can apply for a special competition system in advance, where three people can play at the same time and engage in group battles to take advantage of certain martial arts joint formations." Lou Cheng said casually while listening to President Fang Jinjue's gushing.
With a special competition system.
Cai Zongming chuckled: "Then do you know the allusions about the special competition system?"
"What allusion?" Lou Cheng suddenly became interested.
Cai Zongming smiled and said: "It is said that when the professional martial arts competition was first established, the Xuanwu sect found the leader of the martial arts alliance at that time, that is, Mr. Lin Zhongxun Lin, who had the title of Martial Saint, King, etc., and said that this competition system is unfair. Our sect
The sword formation is used to establish a sect, and what you are good at is the 'Three-Yuan Fixed Light Sword Formation'. When you go one-on-one, isn't it just to use your own shortcomings to counter the other's strengths?"
"Well, that's right. Some sects are better at forming formations than fighting alone. The normal competition system is indeed unfair to them." Lou Cheng agreed.
Cai Zongming chuckled: "Mr. Lin thought so too, so he decided on a special competition system. As long as you apply in advance, you can let three disciples play at the same time and set up a sword formation. The opponent can combine three people to break the formation."
, we can also allow the three warriors on the bench to join together to create a sword formation with more people.”
"This is quite fair. How funny is it to allow a sect that is not good at formations to have a numerical advantage?" Lou Cheng glanced at Cai Zongming in confusion. Why are you laughing?
Cai Zongming suppressed a smile and said: "No, after hearing this, the head of Kongtong Academy couldn't sit still. He also went to Mr. Lin and said that we can't favor one thing over another. What our Kongtong Academy is good at is the 'Five Directions and Five Elements Formation'
', three disciples can't arrange it at all."
"That's right..." Lou Cheng said hesitantly.
Cai Zongming continued: "Kongtong Yuan said this, and the Shangqing Sect next to it has stopped working, so why do you have to wrong yourself? Senior Lin, you have to consider our Shangqing Sect's 'Big Dipper Sword Formation', you
Tell me, does this make Mr. Lin very embarrassed?"
"This difficulty is very specific. We need to think of a good and comprehensive competition system..." Lou Cheng frowned.
"At this time, the abbot of Dahang Temple came in, looking eagerly at Mr. Lin, Donor Lin, this, this, the five hundred Arhat formation... Cai Zongming clapped his hands, "Okay, Mr. Lin said at that time, you all
Get out of here!"
Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh: "Sure enough, there is no such thing as everything in the world."
The two of them were chatting in a low voice without looking away, and the smiles on their faces seemed to emerge from the speeches. While chatting and laughing, they finally watched the guests one after another, watched the songs and dances interspersed in between, and waited until the "Quiet Night Lights"
Liang Yifan appears.
There was no need for Yan Zheke and others to take the lead in cheering and applauding, as the entire martial arts hall felt like it was being exploded by the sound.
This is not only Liang Yifan’s personal charm, but also the “efforts” of the previous guests!
"I'm not very good at talking, and everyone is anxious to see the results of the lottery, so I just want to say, I wish the National University Martial Arts Association will be better and better, make martial arts more popular among the people, and provide young people who did not have the opportunity to practice martial arts when they were young.
A chance for everyone to work hard!" Liang Yifan said concisely and comprehensively with an "I understand" expression.
"Okay!" Cai Zongming, Xu Wannian and others took the lead in applauding, and they all smiled. The enthusiasm of the atmosphere was evident in people's hearts.
The projection was turned on, and a screen appeared behind Liang Yifan. It showed the divisional competition table, but the two teams were still blank.
According to the competition system, this district will have four groups. The top four teams in last year's district will be seeded and directly enter the group stage. The remaining schools will enter the corresponding group after two or three rounds of single-game elimination, and will be drawn to the left in the lottery.
enjoy home field advantage.
The group stage adopts a single round-robin format. The home court will be determined based on last year's results. The top two will appear and advance to the quarterfinals. The top two in the knockout round will represent their region in the national finals.
At this time, the emcee and host placed two boxes, one large and one small, on the lecture table in front of Liang Yifan, and asked him to first draw the seed teams of each group from the small box.
"Group A." Liang Yifan put his hand inside, took out a piece of paper, spread it out and said loudly, "Shannan University Martial Arts Club."
This was last year's third place.
"Group B... Shanbei University Martial Arts Club!" As soon as Liang Yifan finished speaking, the coaches on the field looked at each other. This group could only compete for second place.
"Group C...Sanjiang College...Group D...Haiyuan College." Liang Yifan drew the seeds for each group, then surrendered, and other guests drew the teams for the knockout rounds.
Lou Cheng raised his heart a little, and he already cared a little about the honor of the martial arts club.
Songcheng University Martial Arts Club was not included in the knockout teams of Group A, which made him a little regretful. Compared with Shanbei and Sanjiang, the other two Martial Arts Clubs were not so feared.
"Group B, third knockout match, home player..." The guest took out a note, "Songcheng University Martial Arts Club!"
I went, and it turned out to be the most difficult group... Lou Cheng felt a little depressed.
"It's okay. Maybe the other opponents are weak? Let's just fight for second place and have a better chance of winning." Cai Zongming was quite open-minded.
Next, the guests drew Songda’s opponent, Utsumi Normal University.
"It's not bad." Seeing that this team was recognized as a weak team, Lou Changcheng heaved a sigh of relief.
The opponents in the second round of the knockout round will be from two less strong schools such as Qinyang. There is a high hope of entering the group stage.
After the lottery was completed, it was already dark. After they returned to the dormitory, they had no energy to pay attention to the news and fell asleep one after another.
At noon the next day, when he returned to his dormitory, Lou Cheng had time to browse forums and websites, looking for news related to the opening ceremony of the National University Martial Arts Conference. Because Liang Yifan attended, everyone was still paying close attention to it.
In the "Dragon Tiger Club" forum, he found relevant posts at the bottom of the homepage, which included video news and a special feature produced by Songcheng TV Station.
"Special topic?" Before he had time to read the comments below, Lou Cheng browsed the news video first, and after confirming that he and Cai Zongming were not chatting and laughing, he was relieved. But when he clicked on Songcheng TV's special program, he appeared face to face.
But it’s his own face!
"I'm very excited. Well, I'm proud of you." He said silly words with a stupid smile.
Well, this is an interview he gave as a melon-eater outside the martial arts club during the orientation party... Lou Cheng recalled the past, quickly opened the door of the small dormitory, and shouted to the other side, "King of Mouth! Xiao Ming! Come and take a look,
We’re on TV!”
After the interview was completed, the two of them were still looking forward to appearing on TV. From time to time, they watched the news from Songcheng TV Station, but they didn't wait until they waited. They gradually forgot about it. Who knew that this interview was part of the special topic?
The opening ceremony of the Budokai was edited and broadcast.
"Really?" Cai Zongming ran over and motioned for Lou Cheng to pull back, "Oh, that's good. I have a really handsome smile. I don't look like someone who looks dull and stupid. Check out the comments. Are there any?
