After finding a bunch of videos, Lou Cheng combined the information and watched intently, constantly dismantling, analyzing, reorganizing and performing in his mind.
After more than half an hour, he shook his head tiredly, tapped the table and muttered to himself: "There are too many videos, it's impossible to watch them all, but I don't know which ones are the most important and representative..."
Tingjin Kungfu requires tranquility and absolute concentration, which consumes a lot of energy and cannot be compensated by non-jindan. Therefore, after fighting Wu Shitong and racking his brains to chat just now, Lou Cheng now feels trapped.
Got it.
In the dilemma, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, clicked on the favorites, and entered the "Dragon and Tiger Club" forum.
If he wants to watch the battle videos of his opponents, "Road to the Arena" Zhou Yuanning will definitely do the same. With so much relevant content, he will most likely ask for help from the humanoid database "Unparalleled Dragon King" and let the other party provide opinions. He is just right.
Let’s learn from it secretly!
In the live post of "Phoenix Cup Xiao Wusheng Arena Tournament", when "One Punch Invincible" announced that Lou Cheng would be his opponent in the group stage of "Road to the Arena", the fans who were previously not interested in his game videos were filled with excitement.
A sense of participation.
"Master Lu, it's time to wash away the shame of our forum!" "Don't be a gangster," the gangster said with a red scarf wrapped around his head.
"Everything in the world is beautiful" replied: "That Lou Cheng dared to bully our little boxer before, and now it's finally time for retribution!"
"Outspoken" also said: "I was very unhappy when I saw Lou Cheng win invincible before. Mr. Lu, I have to teach him a lesson!"
"Uncle in the ring, can you take a photo with my latest idol before the competition? I can't see his face clearly in the highlights of the previous competitions!" the little girl "Huan Fan" said enthusiastically.
The moderator "Pig Riding Hero" once again said with a head-banging expression: "You little guy, you turned your elbows outward!"
"Uncle Riding Pig, how could I? You have wronged me! Look at the aggrieved look in my eyes! I just asked the uncle in the ring to take a group photo, and I still support him to win. There is a gap between my new idol and the ninth-level professional." "Huan Fan."
"He sent a crying emoji.
I'm also a member of the forum, so I can't favor one thing over another... Lou Cheng wiped away his "bitter tears" and browsed through many replies that supported "Road to the Arena" to defeat him, and saw the unsolicited advice provided by the "Unparalleled Dragon King" at the back:
"Master Lu, I checked the player highlights on the official website of the Little Martial Saint Arena, and I found that Wang Ye in your group is very strong. His Iron Sand Palm can be said to be devastating, and he is not an average person in the entire ninth-level professional level.
, I have several related videos here, you should take a look and gain something."
"Road to the Arena" immediately sent a handshake emoji: "Old Long, I was just going to ask you this. Damn it, there are a bunch of big pens upstairs who are flooding the building, we can't count on them to make suggestions!"
Hehe, I'm waiting too! Lou Cheng opened these videos one by one, paused the buffering, and continued to watch the discussion.
"The Unparalleled Dragon King" said with a funny expression: "I am just talking on paper. I am not as rich in combat experience as Mr. Lu, but I can still help with finding information."
"Old Long, how close do you think Wang Ye and I are in terms of victory?" The "Road to the Arena" hadn't participated in a competition for many years, and he seemed a little uneasy when he suddenly encountered a strong enemy of the ninth-level professional.
According to Lou Cheng's judgment, 28 is considered to be the best. Road to the Arena 2, Wang Yeba, but he is doing the thing of peeking at the screen, and he is too embarrassed to pretend to express his opinion, so he can only watch silently.
"The Unparalleled Dragon King" replied: "Probably 30-70. In my personal opinion, I can't be sure."
"I also think it's 37 or 30." "The plumber eats mushrooms" said in the corridor.
The moderator "Pig Riding Hero" also followed up and said: "You have been idle for a few years, but you are very good at playing with Wang Ye, a ninth-level and third-seven professional."
"I know, hey, if I meet him in his prime..." "Road to the Arena" sighed, "How do you think I should fight him?"
"Pig Riding Hero" said: "Of course you have to use your "Howling Eight Forms" strength, use your elegant and agile footwork to fight, and don't go head-to-head. Even if you give him a chance, you can block a few blows with the explosion of a terrifying hurricane.
Isn’t it a problem? As long as you delay it, you will lose it if you hold on for too long, and your chance will come.”
Lou Cheng nodded slightly after seeing this. This was also his planned attack, but with the terror of Wang Ye's iron sand palm, he couldn't block even a few hits with "Big Avalanche" and "Electric Fire Stake". He would definitely be injured and his chances of winning were slim.
Alas, this is also the helplessness of the weak when the gap in strength is large.
"Road to the Arena" also responded with a helpless sigh: "If it was my heyday, it would be no problem to fight like this, but now, my physical strength has dropped drastically, and I have been fighting for four consecutive days. Today I still have two matches a day. I can't wait."
Wang Ye will lose it if he defends it for a long time."
"Master Lu, let me tell you something from my heart. Don't worry about it. Just listen. Well, strategically give up the game with Wang Ye and save enough energy for the last game. The key to your top sixteen is not Wang Ye.
, in Lou Cheng and Tang Yue." "The Unparalleled Dragon King" replied.
Well, after seeing this sentence, Lou Cheng realized that he was so stupid. He never thought about giving up the match with Wang Ye. He never considered that once he was injured under the iron palm, the rest of the match would be like giving up to his opponent.
Although he was not injured today, his wrist that was pinched by Wu Shitong was still aching. It would be unimaginable to be hit by an iron palm.
Strategic abandonment seems like a good idea?
With this thought, Lou Chengru was tempted by the devil and almost decided to just go through the motions tomorrow and pretend.
But at this moment, he thought about why he didn't consider this kind of thing in the first place:
"I came to the competition to practice. The prize money is very good and I am eager for it, but this is not my most fundamental purpose. Is it wrong to give up the strategy when facing the professional ninth level? Shouldn't I rack my brains to make the most of my strengths, and lose?
Do I want to lose beautifully? Only in this way can I detect my shortcomings, learn from competition experience, hone my martial arts, and accumulate nutrients for subsequent progress..."
"If you don't bully the weak and don't give in when you are strong, if you don't have the spirit of a warrior, how will you be able to overcome one difficulty after another in the future?"
The gods and humans fought for a while, Lou Cheng exhaled, and showed a relaxed smile as if he was relieved.
Watch one game at a time, and concentrate on fighting Wang Ye tomorrow, without thinking about the subsequent games.
I'm so stupid!
After making the decision, his mind became calm and he looked down at the answer from "Road to the Arena":
"Old Long, I know you are right. As long as I can win over Tang Yue and Lou Cheng, it doesn't matter whether I beat Wang Ye or not. I can still make it to the top sixteen. It's better to give up strategically, save energy, and improve the last one."
However, although I am a bit bragging, a bit arrogant, and a bit lacking in perseverance, I always regard myself as a warrior in my heart."
"As a warrior, a battle with a powerful enemy is something that makes people excited and fascinated. I will fight Wang Ye well!"
Lou Cheng felt a sigh of relief when he saw it. He didn't expect that the exaggerated "road to the arena" has such an aspect. Warrior is really a wonderful word.
"Master Lu, I understand. This is why I am an amateur and you are a professional warrior." "The Unparalleled Dragon King" said.
"Road to the Arena" replied with a funny expression: "The main reason is that the top 16 only have a bonus of 5,000 yuan. If there were tens of millions, I might give up strategically."
Lou Cheng looked amused and almost laughed out loud, but if the top 16 were to receive hundreds of millions of bonuses, even the eighth-level professional would not dare to expect to qualify, because there must be more powerful warriors competing.
What kind of position you are in and what kind of temptation you can face? As an amateur, you don't have to think so much.
"The plumber eats mushrooms" said: "Master Lu, I didn't like to call you that before, but now I really admire you. Fight well with Wang Ye. No matter you lose or win, if we meet in the future, I will give you a toast."
Wine, now, let’s discuss Tang Yue and Lou Cheng, hehe, it feels like we have pooled our wisdom and experience to overcome the challenge.”
I am pooling my wisdom and experience with Yan Zheke, and I will not argue with you... Lou Cheng complained.
"Tang Yue is good at the form of idols. He is tall and heavy, has amazing leg strength, and is terrifying in collisions. It is absolutely right to fight the weaker Wang Ye." "Pig Riding Hero" joined the discussion, "As for Lou Cheng, I watched it
In the videos of his two games, we found that his most fundamental strengths are two points. One is his amazing talent for entering the tranquility. According to you in the ring, he is already at the level of becoming a master of tranquility. The second is his abnormal physical strength, which may be related to superpowers, or it may be
It’s a gift.”
"Uncle Qizhu's analysis is right. All the martial arts strength shown by Lou Cheng are based on these two aspects. For example, the water-condensing pile and the yin-yang pile developed from Jingjing. They are listening to Jin and adjusting the center of gravity to use force to recover.
The root of return, supported by abnormal physical strength, created the madness and ferocity of Blizzard's twenty-four attacks." "The Unparalleled Dragon King" agreed.
"Road to the Arena" made a thoughtful expression: "To defeat Lou Cheng, it seems that we have to focus on these two aspects? This kind of physical monster will become more powerful as the competition progresses. Isn't he stronger?
, but we are weaker."
"Yes, use Cun Jin, use pushing force, don't give him the opportunity to contact Ting Jin and use the force to return, use the whistling eight-shaped body technique to compress his range of activities, force him to confront the strong, and don't let him delay time.
"Plumbers eat mushrooms" came the reply.
Moderator "Pig Riding Hero" added: "If he uses Blizzard's twenty-four attacks to attack instead of defend, then rely on tornado winds and terrifying hurricanes to hit him hard and not give him a chance to gain momentum. This is a small punch.
The lessons learned will be combined with the compressed scope to try to end the battle in a short time.”
Watching them talking about how to deal with themselves, Lou Cheng had a ridiculous and funny feeling. Since he had to focus on the battle with Wang Ye tomorrow, he didn't think much about it and just silently recorded the content in the computer "
"Small notebook" and we'll think about it when the time comes.
Mental exhaustion hit him. Lou Chengqiang finished watching the video and then took a shower and went to bed. He got up on time the next day and went to a nearby small park to start practicing today's attack against Wang Ye. It would be even more extreme than yesterday's plan.
!
Keeping his mind inward and gaining tranquility, Lou Cheng visualized the "nebula" in his Dantian and felt its slow rotation. He then adjusted every muscle in his body and felt the gradual shift of his center of gravity.
Normally, when exerting force, the center of gravity is relatively static and stable, but in today's battle, Lou Cheng wanted to keep the center of gravity in a "moving" state, sacrificing a certain degree of exertion in exchange for something even more bizarre and unpredictable.
footwork and body shape.
Only by maximizing one's strengths can one hope to compete with Wang Ye!
The center of gravity was like mercury, swaying and rolling. After getting familiar with this feeling, Lou Cheng kept adjusting his muscles as he walked. Even when punching and kicking, he kept the center of gravity swaying and could change direction at any time.
This kind of fighting style was too much for Lou Cheng's physical strength. He had to rely on golden elixirs to replenish his strength in just a minute or two. He also suffered a mental loss, but it was relatively better.
At around 7:30, he felt his head was numb. He stopped practicing wisely and returned to the hotel. He first sent a morning greeting message to Yan Zheke, and then said that he had gotten up to train in the morning in order to fight Wang Ye and now he needed to catch up on his sleep.
Refresh yourself and prepare for the battle in the afternoon.
Do your best, even if you lose, you won’t be upset!
…………
In the afternoon, at half past one, heavy clouds rolled over the city and a cold wind howled.
Crowds gathered at the Yanling City Martial Arts Hall, which was much livelier than before. Lou Cheng, wearing the white background and black rims of the Songda Martial Arts Club, stepped into the gate feeling refreshed.
This will be the first time that I challenge a professional ninth-level expert!
