At the other end of the "Fire Hell", far away from the hot home team's locker room, Guo Jie, the "martial arts idiot" with only an inch of hair left, sat cross-legged, with his five hearts pointing to the sky, and his breathing maintained a rhythm, long and distant, and he was not interested in things outside him.
I don't care.
"She's a little nervous..." Ning Zitong sighed secretly and said to Lu Yan via voice transmission.
Lu Yan always kept a straight face and nodded invisibly:
"This is a normal reaction."
While speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Lou Cheng next to him who was lowering his head and pressing the keyboard on his mobile phone.
Sure enough, he is a guy with a few lives under his control. He is calm and calm like us old fritters...
Lou Cheng ignored the coach's gaze and sent a message to his wife with an upturned corner of his mouth:
"What should I do? The young newcomer to the top professional competition is shivering!"
It was the weekend, and Yan Zheke, who had mastered the alchemy realm and had mastered all the techniques, planned to indulge himself and stay up late to watch the opening game.
"That's not what I said when I challenged the Martial Saint last time!" Yan Zheke looked up at the sky, ruthlessly exposing his disguise.
Lou Cheng "covered his face and sighed" and said:
"The excitement was gone..."
"What now?" Yan Zheke said with his eyes rolling.
"I'm thinking about many issues now, such as how far I can go if I meet Lu Yong in the opening game. For example, 'Fire Hell' has weakened my 'Hyobu' secret skill. One increase and one decrease, and there is no home field advantage."
Lou Cheng answered seriously and finally said, "For example, how to flirt with the little fairy."
"Pfft...you are quite leisurely! You have learned how to tease me!" Yan Zheke burst out laughing and said with anger.
Lou Cheng chuckled and said, "This is one of the effective ways to control tension."
And after experiencing so many life-and-death battles, I still have some confidence!
After chatting for a few words on this topic, Yan Zheke turned to mention:
"Your fan forum has been super busy these days~"
"Why?" Lou Cheng was full of doubts.
Because he will be the main force and start the new year's journey of the Longhu Club?
——During this period, in addition to chatting with his wife, he occasionally called home. He was in a state of semi-reclusion. He was racing against time to digest the harvest of his first understanding of "Forbidden Department. Yuqing Chapter". He had not checked his WeChat for more than a week.
Browse the forum.
Yan Zheke posted a "secret observation" cat channel:
"Isn't Xiao Wonton studying in college in Huacheng? She bought a ticket for today's game and wants to cheer you on the spot. Xiaoling, Huan Fan, Nie Qiqi and the Unparalleled Dragon King have all entrusted her to help cheer."
Lou Cheng suddenly realized: "I have forgotten about little Wonton studying here..."
Forget it~ Yan Zheke secretly praised, covered his mouth and snickered: "Do you want to design a special celebration for them?"
"As a strong Waigang man, being deep and restrained and paying attention to image is the way to go." Lou Cheng responded jokingly.
"...I don't want to chat with you anymore! Uncle Cheng~!" Yan Zheke looked at him indifferently.
Lou Cheng took advantage of the situation and joked a few words. At this time, Lu Yan couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over and said after careful consideration:
"It's going to start in about ten minutes. You're in the lead. It's best to adjust your condition."
I planned to do this when there are still ten minutes left... Lou Cheng laughed dryly and said:
"OK."
After answering, he immediately lowered his head and "cryed" to his wife:
"I'm despised by the coach! I have to concentrate on preparing for the game!"
"Haha, this coach also seriously despised you for five minutes~" Yan Zheke replied without sympathy.
Putting away his mobile phone, Lou Cheng stood up leisurely, moved his neck from side to side, and then slowly practiced the exercises. His movements were stretched and the rhythm was slow, like an old man doing morning exercises.
However, his punches and kicks are all full of charm, giving people a continuous and natural feeling.
After completing a set of exercises, Lou Cheng's thoughts settled, his ice heart formed on its own, and the energy and blood all over his body seemed to be like a river after thawing, gradually flowing out and forming a flood.
"This boy has become a little different after comprehending the 'Yu Qing Chapter'." Ning Zitong looked at it thoughtfully, and then spoke to Lu Yan, sighing with emotion.
Lu Yan replied calmly: "When we completed the enlightenment, wasn't it almost the same?"
At this time, the clamor for cheering outside became even louder, and the curtain of the new top professional competition was about to begin.
After a while, Lu Yan looked at Guo Jie who had opened his eyes and Lou Cheng who had finished adjusting his breath. He put his hands behind his back and walked towards the outside of the locker room and said:
"Get out!"
Different from usual, as the opening battle, warriors from both sides will have a brief ceremony.
Lou Cheng flicked off his navy blue martial arts uniform, followed behind Lu Yan, and walked towards the "ring". The ground fire erupted under his feet, and he was very docile. The shouts of "dragon and tiger" in his ears shook the hills.
Looking around, he saw the petite and short "Little Wonton". She was wearing a pair of orange-rimmed glasses and was still in the prime of her youth.
As soon as she saw Lou Cheng coming and going, she excitedly waved her palms, completely forgetting the advice of her friends.
Only when Lou Cheng nodded in greeting and looked away did Little Wonton remember the important point.
She hurriedly took out a short navy blue banner from her backpack, pulled it apart with both hands, and raised it above her head. There was no name on it, only a few big words:
"We'll be there if you're here!"
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Lou Cheng suddenly remembered the "support" last year. At his "lowest" moment, they still refused to leave.
His heart instantly felt warm.
Yan Xiaoling, who was in front of the computer screen, covered her face and sighed, replying in the live broadcast post:
"We shouldn't let Little Wonton do this. She's too short and not conspicuous enough, so she was blocked halfway!"
The "Unparalleled Dragon King" immediately said "funny":
"No matter how short she is, she is still three centimeters taller than you. Who gave you the confidence to say what you just said?"
"...increased height inside..." Yan Xiaoling habitually makes a fool of herself.
After the simple ceremony, Lu Yanlu Yong and others returned to their respective locker rooms, leaving only Lou Cheng and Tang Zexun standing in the center of the ring.
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Lou." Tang Zexun bowed politely, speaking very unfamiliar Chinese.
After knowing that her opponent was Lou Cheng, she asked the translator to give the pronunciation of these five words, and then forced herself to memorize and repeat them mechanically.
Lou Cheng cupped his hands and responded with a smile:
"I've been looking forward to the opportunity to fight you again."
Tang Zexun didn't understand, his eyes widened, looking confused.
The two sides then distanced themselves and retreated to the position predetermined by the referee.
At this moment, on the largest otaku forum in Japan, many discussion threads have appeared, with many replies, and the popularity has surpassed other events:
"Kaoru-chan looks so kawaii when she wears it like this!"
"Why did she abandon us and go to China?"
"For kendo! The serious Kaoru-chan is the most charming!"
"Who is her opponent? It feels a bit familiar."
"I remember, in the last Four Nations Tournament, he lost to Kaoru-chan... He also entered the realm of gods and ghosts? Incredible!"
Except for true and fanatical martial arts enthusiasts, most Japanese people only know about the strong men of their own country. They have no interest and no time to know who has been promoted to Waigang in other countries or who has entered the realm of terror.
This is the normal state of all countries. In the eyes of those who pay attention to this matter, every Waigang-level powerhouse is naturally famous. But if you ask ordinary people from other countries, they will only ask questions with doubts on their faces.
"who is he".
Seeing that most people don’t know much about Lou Cheng, some enthusiasts came out to popularize the knowledge:
"You can't underestimate him. The champion of the Four Nations Championship was overtaken by him by half a size. He was weak before because he practiced late and didn't have time to become stronger."
"This is a real strong person, from heart to body!"
"If Kaoru-chan doesn't improve beyond expectations, she will be more likely to lose this game."
…
After reading the popular science, many people replied:
"It doesn't look like him."
"Idiot, this is because of the TV broadcast. It cannot reflect that kind of temperament."
"I want Xun-chan to win, but I also want to see her cry with grievance. It's so contradictory."
"abnormal!"
…
The atmosphere of the forum quickly turned cheerful. Even if someone reminded them, they still lacked an intuitive understanding of Lou Cheng's strength.
…………
For two people with communication barriers, a three-minute conversation turned into a pure battle of energy.
Tang Zexun looked calm, standing in the gushing fire, as if he was in an ancient Zen hall deep in the body and soul of the dojo. The floor under his feet was smooth and old, there were branches of trees outside the window, the moonlight was cold and falling, and there was no one around.
Only Buddha statues.
The solemn Buddha statue stands, overlooking the tranquility of the world. He sits cross-legged and "looks" at it with his eyes closed, feeling weak both physically and mentally.
There were no obstacles, no barriers, everything around him jumped into Tang Zexun's mind, and some indescribable and invisible feelings also appeared.
"The Eye of the Heart"!
This is one of the fundamentals of Shinsai-ryu Kendo, similar to the combination of "penetrating the enemy's ice heart" and the ability to predict, but there are shortcomings in both aspects.
Tang Zexun "saw" the magma waiting to explode underground, "saw" the building structure, and "saw" a crystal soul whose faces were like mirrors. He saw himself reflected on it, every detail exposed, and extremely clear!
With a shock of energy, she almost escaped from the "mind's eye" state.
After calming down a little, Karasawa Kaoru maintained his state, opened his eyes calmly, and made eye contact with Lou Cheng. His back naturally bowed, and he held the handle of the Fugu Pill with his right hand, like a sharp knife hidden in a box.
The divine weapon is waiting for the day when it will shine brightly on the world.
After an unknown amount of time, the referee who had retreated to the edge raised his right hand and shouted loudly:
"start!"
The new top professional competition has officially begun!
Tang Zexun suddenly took a step forward, his body floating like water waves, and he suddenly appeared in front of Lou Cheng.
Zheng!
A bright white light suddenly shines, so fast that no one can see the trajectory!
Shuchichi! Draw your sword!
For Tang Zexun, the combination of two unique skills is as easy as breathing and eating.
She was fast, and so was Lou Cheng. As Tang Zexun shrank, Lou Cheng also stepped forward, shortening the distance between the two of them. He punched down heavily with his right fist, hitting the side of the long knife, blocking the sharp edge from cutting through the world.
If Kaoru Karasawa hadn't shrunk so fast, he could have directly pressed the opponent's palm and pushed the sword back into its sheath!
Faced with this, Tang Zexun didn't feel panic. Instead, he seemed to have returned to the meditation hall and saw the Buddha statue.
Zheng!
The empty scabbard in her left hand was thrust out and hit Lou Cheng's lower abdomen, which was comparable to the draw of the sword just now.
