Looking at each other from a distance, with the pull of Qi, Lou Cheng suddenly felt a strong fighting spirit in his heart, and the original regret disappeared.
Yes, Zhou Yuanning has been in martial arts for several years. When he no longer wins, he has consumed his energy and accumulated fatigue in a tight schedule of one or even two battles a day. He will not be able to fully recover in a short time. In this case
, I still dare not face him directly, dare not challenge him openly? Do I still have to place my hope on Wang Ye to hurt him?
No!
This is not the battle I long for!
Fortunately, he was not injured. Otherwise, even if he showed up and received the bonus, he would be full of regrets, feeling that he was riding on Wang Ye's coattails to successfully break through.
Fighting a hearty battle, defeating enemies with enough weight, and marching into the top 16 with head high, this is the picture you hope for, the martial arts you pursue!
If you lose, it only means that you don't have the strength and need to review and make up for it. You can make a comeback in the future and prove what you have learned!
Bonuses are important, but this is not the only way to save money, so you can’t put the cart before the horse!
After understanding this point, Lou Cheng's many distracting thoughts faded away and he looked directly into Zhou Yuanning's eyes without any flinch or guilt. His body trembled slightly, as if hot blood was flowing through him.
Looking at Lou Cheng in the guest seat, "Road to the Arena" Zhou Yuanning felt that his eyes were firm and sharp, like a sword unsheathed, making people afraid to look directly at him.
"I feel so nostalgic, when I was involved in the professional martial arts circle..." Zhou Yuanning whispered, with a stronger fighting spirit in his eyes.
Looking away, Lou Cheng took a breath to calm down his blood, then picked up his phone and sent out what he wanted to ask, and said to Yan Zheke with a "bad smile":
"Then how many suitors do you have now?"
The prize money is not as important as the game itself, but tomorrow's game seems not as important as this matter...
Yan Zheke responded with an expression of lowering his head and counting his fingers: "I'm pretty sure there are four..."
Four! Lou Cheng was startled, this is quite certain!
However, considering Yan Zheke's popularity, four is actually not too many. The biggest question is, does he count among these four?
How does she feel about herself?
For a moment, Lou Cheng was a little worried about gains and losses, and pretended to be normal: "Haha, there are less than I thought. Who are there?"
"Because most of them stopped looking for me after being rejected, so it doesn't count as they are still pursuing me..." Yan Zheke said, "wiping away a cold sweat".
Yes, I like how you can reject people so simply and neatly! Of course, don’t reject me... Lou Cheng prayed secretly and said with a snicker: "Are these four the ones who have repeatedly failed?"
"I haven't said it clearly yet. I can't take the initiative to say no to others. It's so embarrassing and embarrassing. What should I do if there is a misunderstanding? I can only keep a distance and reduce contact." Yan Zheke sighed.
.
I just didn't say it clearly... But judging from the chats during this period, she did not keep a distance from me and reduce contact... Lou Cheng felt sad at first, and then happy, as if he saw the dawn of victory.
Of course, it's possible that she hasn't noticed that I'm pursuing her...
Lou Cheng's thoughts were ups and downs, and there were many emotional changes in just a short moment. He controlled not to let them be revealed between the lines, and sent another message: "There must be high school classmates among those who have repeatedly failed and fought (manual funny)."
"Yes, there is one person. If he wasn't a classmate and couldn't get along with me, I would have blocked him directly. Now I will always be invisible on Q and pretend not to be there." Yan Zheke shook his head with a clenched fist and said with a tearful expression.
Lou Cheng secretly replied: "Fortunately, he is not in Songcheng, otherwise you would be troubled."
"Songcheng also has one. There are two in our college. Fortunately, one is a senior, and his class schedule does not overlap. When I am free, I am in the martial arts club. If one of them didn't tell me, I just pretended that I didn't know and tried not to come into contact with him. Otherwise, it would be really bad.
Annoying." Yan Zheke made a dumbfounded expression.
"Haha, being too popular also has its troubles." Lou Cheng replied, sincerely happy to have a better understanding of Yan Zheke's love life.
Yan Zheke used the monkey method of knocking on wooden fish and said: "Yes, there are a lot of rotten peach blossoms."
"Where is there another one? It was not explicitly mentioned?" Lou Cheng did not let go of any information about his potential love rival.
Yan Zheke posted a thinking monkey:
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
Khan, I violated the taboo mentioned by classmate Xiao Ming. When chatting, I can't give girls the feeling of checking their household registration... Lou Cheng laughed twice and pretended to be normal: "It's just a casual question. I have no experience in love and I have no experience in dating."
Girls are inevitably curious when pursuing something."
He took advantage of the situation and praised himself again, saying that there are no historical problems in relationships!
Yan Zheke said with a "bad smile": "Someone once said that you shouldn't believe what a man says when he brags..."
She teased him using Lou Cheng's words yesterday.
"Really! Look at my sincere eyes!" Lou Cheng said with a righteous dog expression with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll believe you for now." Yan Zheke covered her mouth and smiled, "The other one, I have nothing to say. I've been cruelly rejected by me several times and rarely come to me recently."
Not bad, not bad, that’s it! Lou Chengyan Zheke gave a thumbs up. As Xiao Ming had judged, she was a very difficult girl to pursue. Otherwise, she would already have a boyfriend, so why would she have to try on her own?
This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that you don't have to worry about love rivals for the time being, but the bad thing is that you may not be able to catch up with you, and you will easily be cruelly rejected.
She just said that there are only four definite suitors at the moment, and it seems that she did not include me. Did she really not notice it, or did she discover something, but because she was chatting with me, she deliberately did not mention it?
Without the confidence to delve into this topic for the time being, Lou Cheng said instead: "I plan to go back to the hotel and concentrate on preparing for the battle tomorrow afternoon, for the bonus! For your better meal!"
"Hey, come to the hotel and say something, and I'll send you the video recommended by my grandpa." Yan Zheke said with a snicker.
Throughout the afternoon and evening, Lou Cheng spent his time watching videos, communicating with Yan Zheke about the Howling Eight Shapes, and going to the small park to practice himself, and the idea gradually took shape in his mind.
"The roaming tactics were completely restrained by the Howling Eight Forms. This time I can no longer rely on the 'center of gravity is like mercury', and I have to change my style of play in the previous two games." Lou Cheng told Yan Zheke.
Yan Zheke crossed his hands and said with a thoughtful expression: "The whirling eight-shaped continuous attack is very strong and difficult to defend. Although you have improved quickly, you still lack actual combat experience. You should use Tang Yue or Wang Ye's fighting style.
, I'm afraid that you won't be able to sustain his weakened physical strength, and if you use offense instead of defense, he will be able to fly away immediately after missing a hit. In short, it will be very difficult to deal with."
"I saw the discussions between 'Road to the Arena' and other people on the forum, and found that they were prepared for each of my strengths and were making changes, such as using more force and increasing force. I was thinking, when
Will there be certain problems when Zhou Yuanning uses a style of play that he is not used to, especially when attacking..." Lou Cheng poured out some vague thoughts in order to clarify his thinking. After all, the battle is fleeting.
Changes may occur, and the initial plan may not come in handy. It is always a good idea to make more plans.
The two discussed for a long time, until half past ten o'clock came, and Lou Cheng was getting ready to go to bed and practice his tactics in the morning.
"Chengzi, don't go to the Dragon Tiger Club forum before the competition. You will easily be disturbed by other people's comments and be affected by those who don't like you, causing mental and emotional problems." When saying good night, Yan Zheke specifically warned
One sentence.
"Don't worry, I will restrain myself. By the way, what are the odds now?" Lou Cheng asked.
Yan Zheke said with a snickering expression: "He pays 1.3 for 1, and you pay 3 for 1. The pressure is all on his side."
These are odds including stake.
This shows that most people still think that there is a big gap between me and Zhou Yuanning... Lou Cheng quit QQ and closed his eyes.
…………
"1 pays 1.3, 1 pays 3..." On the afternoon of the next day, Lao Zheng and his companions stood in front of the betting station, looking at the odds of the battle between Lou Cheng and Zhou Yuanning.
One of his companions laughed and said: "Then I'll buy Zhou Yuanning for 200 yuan. If Lou Cheng wins, I'll lose money in exchange for happiness. If Lou Cheng loses, I'll have money to soothe my soul."
"Yes, a good idea!" Several of Lao Zheng's companions expressed their agreement.
After buying, they all turned their attention to Lao Zheng who had not moved:
"Old Zheng, you don't want to buy it?"
Lao Zheng thought for a while and said: "I still plan to buy a house worth one or two hundred yuan."
"Do you think he can win? The battle between him and Wang Ye relied on careful arrangements to have a chance, but this is inseparable. Once the trick is seen through, it will be ineffective." Companions advised one after another.
"Maybe? It's only a hundred yuan anyway, just use it as the ticket for the arena match." Old Zheng took out his wallet and joked, "You guys should also buy some real estate to win. If he is upset,
Can you lose less?"
…
"Sister Lan, you don't want to buy it?" Ye Youting held ten 100 banknotes.
Jiang Lan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm a little unsure, so I won't buy it."
"Why can't you be sure? Zhou Yuanning's playing style is much more restrained than Lou Cheng's, and there is still a gap in overall strength." Ye Youting asked in surprise.
Jiang Lan shook her head: "But Zhou Yuanning's problems and flaws are also obvious."
"Then I'll buy it myself!" Ye Youting was very confident.
…
"Elder brother, you actually succeeded in buying a house?" Qin Zhilin looked at Liu Yinglong in surprise.
Liu Yinglong was also a young man. He smiled and said, "Let's just think of it as a reward for how much he has brought us in these games. Let's take a sip and see if there are any miracles."
In several betting stations, similar conversations happened from time to time, and the odds were still being fine-tuned, and the tone was still optimistic about Zhou Yuanning.
…………
"Master Lu, the match is the first one in the afternoon." "One Punch Invincible" Jin Tao and "Road to the Arena" Zhou Yuanning walked side by side towards the martial arts venue.
Zhou Yuanning sighed after hearing this: "That's right, no need to wait any longer."
Seeing that Jin Tao's mobile phone screen was still glowing, he asked: "What did the live broadcast post say?"
Jin Tao laughed and said:
"Everyone is supporting Mr. Lu in defeating Lou Cheng. Cao Mu said that Lou Cheng's hard power is not as good as an amateur, so you can rest assured to abuse him. He bluntly said that it was a fluke that Lou Cheng and Wang Ye fought to such an extent. It's nothing special. Old
Dragon, Plumber, and Uncle Pig Rider asked you to use your collective wisdom. Little Wonton and Qian Hailan said that if you lose, Mr. Lu, you have to take a half-naked photo of yourself. The little girl Huanfan yelled first.
Support, and then ask for photos.”
"Hey." Zhou Yuanning laughed and pulled his sleeves, "Please reply to me and say that I appreciate everyone's support and I will definitely live up to their expectations, in the name of half-naked photos!"
"As for that little girl, if I win, I will take a photo with her new idol as a winner!"
While talking, the two entered the crowded venue.
…………
In the dressing room, Lou Cheng opened his eyes, his eyes deep and calm.
He looked at the electronic clock and saw that there were still a few minutes before the game started, so he stood up and stretched his muscles. Then he took out his mobile phone, logged into QQ, and sent a message to Yan Zheke:
"We're going to compete."
Yan Zheke quickly replied: "...What song do you want to listen to?"
Lou Cheng felt happy and snickered: "You still remember."
Before the battle with Tang Yue, he said that he would ask Yan Zheke to sing a song to cheer him up in the last game of the group stage.
"Quickly say something! Otherwise I will regret it!" Yan Zheke replied.
Lou Cheng thought for a while and typed with a smile:
"Follow your dreams with all your heart, the climax."
After waiting, a long voice message came over. When I clicked it to listen, Yan Zheke’s clear and familiar female voice sang:
"Run forward, facing the cold eyes and ridicule
How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?
Destiny cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy
Even if blood is spilled all over my arms."
"Keep running, with pure pride
How can you see the sparkle of life if you don’t persist to the end?
It's better to burn than to linger
One day it will sprout again.”
Lou Cheng listened to the singing and opened the door to the dressing room.
