After leaving the emergency room, Lou Cheng went straight out of the venue, found a secluded place, called Yan Zheke, and told her that Gu Shuang and Xing Jingjing had come to visit her, so that she would not have any bad feelings towards her best friend due to her own injuries.
.
After a sweet moment, the girl continued to practice the internal training of Meteor Jin. Lou Cheng put one hand in his pocket and walked back slowly. When he passed a few shops, he felt something in his heart and sent a message to Jiang Fei: "Pang Jiang, I
Do you want to eat something outside? There are grilled sausages and corn..."
In the past few days, I have been busy practicing, preparing, watching and participating in competitions. I haven't spent much time with my parents except for eating. I have relied on Jiang Fei and the others for help, so I have to reward them!
"It's necessary! How can we not have anything to eat while watching a martial arts competition!" Jiang Fei quickly replied, turning to Qiu Hailin and Cao Lele and said, "What do you want to eat? Chengzi said he was treating!"
For a lot of people, it's like watching a movie without popcorn!
"Me, me, me! I want a piece of sausage and a piece of corn, and tell Brother Lou Cheng that the sausage should be a little spicier!" The first person to answer was Qi Yunfei, who had her ears propped up. As she spoke, she felt her saliva drool.
She was almost crying, "And more, I want a Coke, with ice or frozen!"
Well, I must have been too nervous just now!
With her as the starting point, the others also let go of their reserve. Girls like Cao Lele, Qiu Hailin, and others all grilled sausages and corn. Fatty Jiang, Cheng Qili, and Tao Xiaofei only wanted grilled sausages. Even Lou's dad and mom happily ordered two sticks of corn.
Seeing the "list", Lou Cheng smiled and followed the instructions one by one. He also bought several bottles of drinks, carrying large and small bags, and returned to the venue. He walked along the aisle and approached the group of relatives and friends.
"Here, your sausage and corn..." He sent them one by one from left to right, his smile warm and kind.
This gave Cao Lele and the others a strange and subtle feeling, as if they didn't recognize the building in front of them again.
Is he still the talented martial artist who has been so majestic these past two days? Is he still the hope of the martial arts community in Xing Province who has appeared on TV?
Just a moment ago, they were fighting and bloody in the ring, but now they seemed to have done nothing, just enjoying the joy of watching martial arts competitions with everyone like ordinary people.
His attitude towards his family and friends has remained the same and has not changed.

In the evening, in the conference room of the Xing Provincial TV Station, a man who looked like a leader took out a cigarette, played with it in his hand without lighting it, and said with a provincial accent: "The top 16 of the youth competition have been born, we should decide."
The shortlisted candidates for "Jiangjianglu" have been selected. My opinion is that there are eighteen, and there are two who are particularly strong in certain aspects. Do you have any opinions?"
"No, director, what is the name for the nickname this time?" asked a woman wearing half-rimmed glasses.
"I don't have a clue yet. This meeting is just for everyone to brainstorm. Come and give us your opinions." The leader smiled and clicked his cigarette holder.
A young man with messy hair thought for a while: "The four emperors, six kings and eight immortals are like this?"
"Four Emperors, Six Kings and Eight Immortals? What do you think of the strong man from Waigang who has won the title of King? Is a provincial youth competition going to go against the grain by giving such a violent and cool nickname?" A man addicted to online novels was funny.
retorted.
"That's right..." The woman with half-rimmed eyes pondered the suggestion, "The four heavens, six earth evils and eight little immortals?"
"The four heavenly gangs and the six earthly demons are not quite symmetrical, but the Eight Immortals are still okay. Let's tentatively decide on it. What to do next? You can think about it in the next few days. It must be decided at the next meeting." The leader turned.
He said, "There is no need to talk about the first sixteen. Who do you have for the remaining two?"
"I suggest Xing Jingjing. Her hallucination ability is very strong. If she hadn't met Lou Cheng, none of the following seeds would be her match." The woman with half-rimmed glasses answered without hesitation.
"I also agree with Xing Jingjing."
"I have no opinion."
Others expressed their approval.
"Then I will choose Xing Jingjing, one of the Eight Immortals." The leader said with great interest, "She can create illusions, just like she has magic, and she is one of the Eight Immortals. I think there is a nickname that suits her very well."
"What?" the young man with messy hair asked curiously.
"Little Demon Fairy! Do you think it's okay?" The leader smiled proudly.
The woman with half-rimmed glasses was stunned and replied with a dull expression:
"If you think it's good, then it's really good."
"That's it! Let's discuss the next one." The leader was delighted with his talent for nicknames.
I want to consider the top sixteen one by one!

In the afternoon, Lou Cheng still came to the martial arts venue, watching every duel, as if he had returned to the days when he participated in the Xiaowu Sheng Arena. It was not because he was different from the past and was about to enter the Dan Realm.
Contempt and neglect.
Those who can rank among the top thirty-two warriors under the age of twenty-six in the province are not ordinary people. Watching the battles between them at close range can more or less gain something for yourself, and
The winner has a certain probability of becoming his opponent tomorrow night.
At the beginning of the top 16, in order to attract the maximum attention, the game was changed to the evening prime time. In this way, people who need to go to work during the day can come to the venue with their families to relax, or they can curl up on the sofa or bed and relax.
Watch quietly.
The next morning, Lou Cheng, who had no competition pressure during the day, became more and more relaxed. He practiced the static and dynamic piles and fighting routines one by one, and spent a large part of his time on the water grinding kung fu of Dan Qi realm.
When it was about to end, he put on a good show, closed his eyes, recalled the subtle changes in his body during the six consecutive explosions and the realization that he had to keep his mind and visualize after the elixir realm erupted, and tried to "collect" again.
With a sinking of will, the wind and clouds were stirred, his energy, blood, spirit and strength suddenly shrank inward, embracing each other, getting closer and closer, and there were signs of blending with each other.
This made Lou Cheng more sensitive to his surroundings, and even malicious mosquitoes seemed to appear in his mind.
As soon as the subtle sensation was touched, the balance was disrupted, Qi and blood surged out, and strength erupted. Lou Cheng had no choice but to open his eyes to relieve the burden on his body.
The explosion of the elixir realm not only depends on energy and physical strength, but also the body's ability to bear it. But for Lou Cheng, there is no need to worry. On the one hand, there is the improvement brought by extreme training, and on the other hand, the golden elixir heals fatigue.
Reduce stress.
He tried again and again, getting closer and closer to the Dan realm.
"Practice training is quite effective. Maybe before the end of this youth competition, I can become a true Alchemy Realm powerhouse..." Lou Cheng put away his airs, thinking tiredly but happily.
…………
At 7:30 in the evening, the interior of the Gaofen City Martial Arts Arena was brightly lit. The central arena was temporarily set up as a stage for the lottery. There were chairs in front of them, with names written on the backs. They were guests and the top 16 warriors.
s position.
Except for the place specially set aside to separate the crowd, the surrounding stands were crowded and dark. Some were eating popcorn, some were taking photos with their mobile phones, there were martial arts enthusiasts, and some were coming to join in the fun and celebrate family festivals.
Lou Cheng was sitting third from the left in the second row of the guest seats, live broadcasting the activities on the stage to Yan Zheke with text and pictures, and patiently waiting for the lottery ceremony to begin.
In order to prevent himself from being the first to appear and not having time to watch the opponent's game videos, he spent the entire day, apart from exercising, resting and eating, studying the battle videos of the other warriors with his girlfriend. Yes, there were fifteen other warriors besides him.
indivual!
"Hey, why haven't you drawn lots yet?" Lou Cheng complained.
Yan Zheke "snickered" and said, "Are you nervous?"
"That's not the case. It just feels like something is always worrying about me." Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
Speaking of being nervous, there is indeed a bit of it. If you fail to hold on until Ke Ke comes back and fail to fulfill your promise of being in the top four, it will look bad on your face. But for me, who has been tested in the ring competition for a long time, these nervousness are
Within the normal range, there is no need to worry.
At this moment, Yan Zheke is sitting in the terminal, wearing headphones and watching the live broadcast on a tablet.
While chatting with her boyfriend, she was full of expectations.
She did not mention to Lou Cheng that she had thoroughly mastered the internal training method and had obtained permission from her grandpa and grandma to "start practicing". She also did not tell Lou Cheng that she had booked a flight at 10:05 tonight and would wait until the arena competition was over.
I can board the plane and fly back, and Gu Shuang will drive to pick me up when the time comes.
Hey, I want to give you a surprise too!

Xiushan.
Lou Yuanwei sat listlessly on the sofa, watching his mother constantly changing channels, and listening to his grandparents and father chatting about their family's problems.
After detailed investigation, he found that his original good idea seemed unrealistic, so he could only give up temporarily and look for a better way again.
Scanning his eyes across the TV, he suddenly froze for a moment and blurted out:
"Mom, which channel were you watching just now?"
Me, am I dazzled? I think I saw someone!
Wang Lili glanced at her son reproachfully: "Which one are you talking about?"
"Mom, press back." Lou Yuanwei sat upright and frowned.
Wang Lili went back to change the channel without knowing why: "Just tell me what you want to watch."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lou Yuanwei's eyes lit up and he shouted.
Wang Lili stopped at Xing Provincial Satellite TV, took a closer look, and suddenly said in surprise:
"Hey, isn't this Nariko?"
…………
"No. 1 seed Zhang Zhutong, versus..." The guest drew a small ball, "No. 4 seed Zuo Zhen!"
A strong showdown... Lou Cheng sighed, and then heard his name: "Contestant No. 18 Lou Cheng..."
Pictures of his game began to scroll on the big screen, and the guests reached into the box.
"Play against the fifth seed Qiu Lin!"
The fifth seed? Qiu Lin? Lou Cheng narrowed his eyes, feeling slightly disappointed, but not afraid. Instead, he had a strong will to fight.
Qiu Lin is a genuine eighth-grade expert. She once participated in the seventh-grade qualifying competition. Although she failed in the end, it was enough to show her confidence.
In addition, her ancestor was a lay disciple of Daxing Temple, and she has the ability to metalize part of her body!
