After the eight games on the second day, the top 16 of the "Martial Saint War" were all born. The organizing committee made a simple draw on the spot, and the first group of duels gave people the smell of gunpowder:
"Dragon King" Chen Qitao vs. "Super Grade" Zhihai!
A battle between active title holders!
One of the dominant twins faces a supernova that attacks his status!
Huh, before "Ming King" won one-on-one twice, he took advantage of it. This time we can see how big the gap is between him and "Dragon King"... Lou Cheng, who ended the battle last night, did not go to the scene and sat there.
In the hotel room, I thought with great interest.
Soon, the second, third and fourth groups of duels were released one after another:
"Sea Protector" Ma Xinghong vs "Kilin" Dong Baxian;
"God-cutting sword" Lu Yongyong vs. "Yihou" Fei Dan;
"Morning Star" Ren Li vs. "Jinghong" Luo Xian.
You can't afford to offend, you can't afford to offend... Lou Cheng was dumbfounded again, and he deeply felt what it means to have good luck, and what it means to be a road-crazy girl who will not have bad luck.
This is not to say that Luo Xian, the "Jinghong" of Shushanzhai, is weak. Her first-grade status is enough to explain everything. It's just that among the top sixteen, she is the only non-super-class Wai Gang among the top 16, so she was selected like this.
!
Of course, even so, Lou Cheng is not optimistic about Ren Li, who is obviously inferior.
In the midst of his thoughts, he heard his name, and immediately after, his opponent surfaced:
"Wu Yue Hui, Huang Ke!"
"King of Guns" Huang Ke!
Is this intentional? There is Long Zhen in front of him and the "King of Guns" in the back. Is this the organizing committee deliberately creating a gimmick? Lou Cheng couldn't help but sneered, because there are too many background stories for the media to use in such a match.
!
The de facto "leader" of the Wuyue Society vs. the rising star who was suppressed due to different factions and left the Wuyue Society in anger (imagined)!
After typing this paragraph, so much blood, tears and hatred have been written on the page!
As a Wai Gang who has won six titles, "King of Guns" Huang Ke is definitely a top-notch person. In Lou Cheng's opinion, at his peak, he was only stronger than "Qitian Sword" Feng Zhi, which is why he is not listed as one of the top eight.
One of the reasons is that ninety-nine of them are in their forties and nearly fifty years old. Although their spirits have not declined yet, problems such as slower recovery have inevitably occurred.
Therefore, like "Luo Queen" Ning Zitong and others, he consciously reduced the number of participations in title matches, and only competed twice a year with all his strength to maintain his condition. But unfortunately, he was unlucky, and the last four times were not
To reach the "Martial Saint" means to encounter the "Dragon King", or to fight to the death with Dong Baxian and others in advance, always embarrassingly staying outside the top eight, and inevitably being left out in the cold in various evaluations based on performance.
In addition, when the "clown" Gu Jianxi was growing up rapidly and shining brightly, he seemed to be stimulated and showed signs of a "second spring". Lou Cheng did not dare to despise him in the slightest.
In the hotel where Wu Yuehui was staying, Huang Ke, who had a broad forehead and a dull appearance, stood on the balcony, looking at the lights of thousands of houses.
When the sound of the lottery results reached his ears, he tilted his head slightly and looked leisurely at the suite on the left, which belonged to "Clown" Gu Jianxi.
What he saw was pitch black, no sound or movement, but Huang Ke believed that Gu Jianxi was inside.
Compared with Lou Cheng, his high-speed climb seemed so ordinary... With a flash of thought, Huang Ke looked away, lowered his hands, and turned around to enter the living room.
He glanced at the three-meter-eight "Ice Chi Gun", picked up the phone, dialed a number, and ordered:
"Bring me the videos of Lou Cheng's last thirty battles."
"Yes." He replied respectfully, quickly turned on the computer, and copied one of the folders he had created.
His daily job is to update this database every day!
Before sending it, he carefully reviewed it and found no problems. He just felt that one scene was missing, but he couldn't tell which scene was missing.
…………
After recovering his thoughts, Lou Cheng lowered his head and discussed the draw just now with Yan Zheke, Cai Zongming, his senior sister and others, and listened distractedly to the remaining three duels:
"King of Swords" Wu Qiao vs. Taoist Yunyan;
"Luohou" Ning Zitong vs. "Wan Deng" Liang Yifan;
"Clown" Gu Jianxi vs. "Living Buddha" Shishan.
After the lottery was over, Ke Xiaoke focused on her studies again. Lou Cheng touched his stomach, got up slightly hungry, picked up his cell phone and went out without a wallet to find a late night snack.
After he had eaten, drank, and shown off, he returned from a leisurely walk and saw "Queen Luo" stirring the liquid in the cup with a silver spoon in the open cafe in the hotel lobby.
"Here, let me buy you a drink." Ning Zitong also noticed him, smiled sweetly, and said hello.
Although the distance between the two parties was far, her voice was not loud, but it reached Lou Cheng's ears very clearly.
"I'd better invite him, otherwise my master will scold me for being rude." Lou Cheng passed the blame to Old Man Shi.
Ning Zitong laughed out loud: "He? How could he say such a thing?"
Hey, it's a bit embarrassing to meet someone who knows Master well... Lou Cheng laughed dryly and sat across from him.
Before he could speak again, Ning Zitong added with a smile:
"This is because you won over Feng Zhi. Don't refuse."
...Sister Ning, I know you have conflicts with Ren Li and her master, but you won't vent your anger on the entire Kongtong Academy..."Qi Tianjian" is innocent...Women's grievances are really complicated...Lou Cheng secretly complained,
Funny nod:
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
After ordering a drink, Ning Zitong asked with great interest: "You just came back from outside? Are you feeling uneasy because you won the 'King of Guns'?"
Hey, don’t be such a gossip... Lou Cheng cursed and shook his head and said:
"No, I'm just hungry. For me, the Ice God Sect is a relatively unfamiliar existence, let alone the Wuyue Society. I'm not interested in their internal grudges. Well, I'm quite happy to have drawn the 'King of Guns'
, he has been immersed in Hyobe’s secret knowledge for twenty or thirty years, which allows me to better understand my shortcomings in this aspect."
Ning Zitong sighed as if he hated the fact that iron cannot become steel:
"It's boring, it's boring."
She calmed down her expression and asked instead:
"You haven't gone out much since last night. What are you doing in your room?"
Lou Cheng smiled and said: "I am rewatching the battle videos of my previous thirty or forty games, examining every detail and looking for possible problems."
Ning Zitong was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly and said:
"This is a good habit. Alas, ever since I got my title, I felt that I had the ultimate control over myself, so I started to neglect self-examination."
At this point, she laughed at herself: "And there is another problem. If, if I rewatch the past battle videos now, I'm afraid I will often feel, ah, how young and beautiful I used to be! How could I perform so well?
Okay! It’s so elegant. How did I do it back then? Comparing it to now, it’s such a torture to the soul!”
I didn't expect you, "Queen Luo," to be such a narcissist... Lou Cheng felt funny for a while and didn't know how to answer the question.
Fortunately, Ning Zitong only had a temporary feeling and quickly brought the topic back on track, smiling and saying:
"I thought that after you defeated Feng Zhi, your mentality would be a little inflated, but I didn't expect that you maintained it very well."
"Sister Ning, I know my own business. I am only at the level of the first-grade. I don't have the super-first-class level that the outside world calls me. How can I despise the 'King of Guns'?" Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
Relying on the special combination of cultivation and martial arts, he consolidated his realm in the outer gang. After learning many secret arts, he immediately had the strength of a weak second-level. Then, after several life-and-death battles and hard training with the help of the laboratory, he developed the "Cosmic Starry Sky Flow"
His mastery has improved, many Wai Gang skills have been mastered, and he has comprehended the forbidden magic skills. He already has an advantage in the spiritual field, and his overall strength has improved, and he has finally touched the threshold of the first level.
Ning Zitong smiled and shook his head: "Don't underestimate yourself. In the Waigang realm, the improvement of strength is directly related to the further refinement of spirit. In this regard, you have combined cultivation and the 'Nine-Character Jue', which is considered unique. In my opinion,
It seems that the only difference between you and us is the fire and purity, and the only difference between you and us is how to incorporate your unique personal experience into your moves."
As the spirit is refined step by step, the warrior will gradually touch the mysterious and dangerous head area, and when it changes qualitatively, it will become a taboo. The difficulties and dangers in this process cannot be summed up in one word!
"Well, does Sister Ning have any tips for this?" Lou Cheng asked curiously.
"The secret? The secret is to turn your own experience, understanding, and feelings into artistic conception, uh, present it with the help of spirit. This is my personal opinion. You can ask your master again." Ning Zitong did not hide anything.
Lou Cheng thought about the battle with the "God-Beheading Sword" Lu Yong, and thought about the pure land illusion of the "Living Buddha", and he felt a little clear. He thought thoughtfully: "Can we put it another way, the understanding of the laws of nature and the ultimate goal?"
Feelings, emotions, etc., are mixed into the subject of one's own will, expressed through the spirit, and affect the opponent? Is it a higher-level application of momentum confrontation and will competition? "
Ning Zitong thought for more than ten seconds and said:
"Absolutely. A very important part of it must be to tap into your inner strength and support yourself to get here."
This is my strength... Lou Cheng recalled the distance he walked step by step, and felt that the past was still vivid in his mind, especially that low point of beating, which made this strength clear and explosive.
Well, for love and for me... to protect my relationship, my family, and myself... When the thought came to this point, Lou Cheng's expression suddenly became a little weird.
If these feelings were turned into moves and presented through the spirit, wouldn't it be...
"What's wrong with you?" Ning Zitong asked in confusion.
"It's nothing." Lou Cheng said with a perfunctory smile, "I suddenly remembered the ultimate move from a comic book."
