After hearing the referee's announcement and looking at the overhead shot, the host in the TV studio let out a sigh of regret and said:
"As long as the weak influence left by 'Luo Queen' is lessened, the winner today is Liang Yifan."
Gang Loucheng is obviously slow to lose power. If he can seize this opportunity and not give him the opportunity to use the simplified "Ji" formula, then things will be completely different!
It's a pity that Liang Yifan was at the end of his strength at that time. Not to mention counterattack, he couldn't even "fight back and hold on". He had to take a breath and slow down first.
Seeing that the host did not conceal his tendency, guest commentator He Xiaowei shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a matter of luck. Lou Cheng's left shoulder injury is localized, and Liang Yifan's Anbu weakness is all over the body. You can't rely on this to make a fuss. If something goes wrong,
Then there are only problems, but as the saying goes, the strong are lucky, and today's game is the best proof."
"This does not mean that the strong will be favored by God, unless he has similar talents, but that when luck appears, the strong can grasp it. Just now, if Lou Cheng hadn't attacked like crazy and ignored himself, he suppressed Liang Yifan
If you are out of breath, how can you let the other party's problems explode in advance, and how can you turn around in a circle on the edge of failure and then struggle to come back?"
"Not to mention the tendency of war of attrition that he deliberately showed before this, which greatly confused Liang Yifan, well, it also confused me."
Under the "public gaze", the host did not remain stubborn and sighed:
"It's sad that the strong men in Waigang think that although Lou Cheng's absolute level is still a little behind, his actual combat ability is indeed superb. However, his style of play will accumulate residual injuries and have a great impact on the body. He can only participate in it twice a year.
Title battle."
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, it is the weak that challenges the strong. When his strength catches up to his performance by the end of the year or next year, it will be completely different." He Xiaowei said with half emotion and half praise.
The host nodded first, then laughed:
"Xiaowei, Liang Yifan lost, and you're still so happy? You swore that if he doesn't win the title within three years, you'll have a turtle tattooed on your head."
"When did I say tattooed turtle?" He Xiaowei touched his bald head and asked in a funny tone, and then said, "I am optimistic that he will get the title within three years, but I am not optimistic that he will succeed in the 'Martial Holy War' this time. Look,
Look at the 'Zhanshendou', which is at its peak in this competition, and look at the 'Qilin' who is catching up with the two heroes with absolute strength without suffering too many injuries, and look at the 'Dragon King' who missed it, even though
Liang Yifan made it to the top four, and even though he was bruised and bruised, he could only serve as a foil."
"Yes." The host nodded lightly and said, "It can be foreseen that sparks will fly in the semi-finals and the finals, and there will most likely be a situation where both sides will suffer losses. Fortunately, the winner will not challenge the 'Martial Saint' immediately.
There are still two months of rest and adjustment, otherwise it would be too unfair."
The knockout rounds and the final challenge of the five major title battles have always been conducted separately to ensure that the title winner deserves the title. Just like the "War of Kings", the qualifiers are held from mid-to-late August to early September every year to determine the winner.
The knockout rounds are held in the first two weeks of December, while the best-of-three challenge matches with the previous champion are scheduled for the end of March or early April of the following year. Each time a new champion is born, the national stage of the University Budokai begins.
The inhuman preliminaries of the "Martial Holy War" were held in mid-to-late January of the previous year, the elimination battles, which are now more than two weeks before May every year, and the final battle between defending and fighting in mid-July.
In this process, at the end of June and early July there will be the knockout rounds of the "Kirin War". In order to maintain their status, the two sides of the "Martial Saint War" will most likely choose to give up this title and make it eclipse unless they are the current "Kirin".
For the rest of the title battles, the "Grandmaster" preliminaries are in late June, the knockout rounds are in late October and early November, the final challenge is during the Spring Festival of the following year, the "Super Grade" preliminaries are in November, the main tournament is in January, and the top professional competitions are after the Spring Festival
Before the opening, a four-person round-robin battle will be held to determine this year's "Super Grade". The schedule is the most compact. The inhuman preliminaries of the "Kilin Battle" will be in mid-to-late April, and the challenge will be in September.
"Yes." He Xiaowei replied in agreement.
…………
At this time, in Lou Cheng’s fan forum.
"The long night is coming," Yan Xiaoling said after being crazy and excited for a while, "clenching her fists and crying":
"The final student career is so satisfying, so memorable, so wonderful!"
Not only did he pass the internship and get an offer, but the senior also continued to perform beyond his level, defeated several top-notch players one after another, and successfully broke into the top four of the "Martial Saint War"!
Thinking of this, she glanced at the forum information with a little embarrassment, knowing in her heart that besides Miss Shu Rui's introduction, the title of Lou Cheng's fan forum moderator was what made her gain a satisfactory job.
Different from the cold scene at that time where there were only two people: myself and "Huan Fan", this place is now one of the few large forums, with its own terrifying traffic.
Seeing her sigh of contentment, the "Unparalleled Dragon King" said comically:
"Well said! But I have a question. It's already halfway through May. Have you finished your graduation thesis, uh, or graduation project... I'm not sure what your major requires. In short, your homework
Is it done?"
"Don't ask this..." Yan Xiaoling was stunned for a moment and said after a long time, "First let me happily watch 'Martial Saint War'! Enjoy today happily! Haha, senior is now ranked fifth in the country, right? There are so many strong ones.
Ranked fifth among those!”
As she talked, she became happy again.
"It doesn't have to be just fifth!" "Huan Brahma" stressed with a "sway".
"There's nothing wrong with saying that for the time being..." "Road to the Arena" who floated over at some point replied.
"The Unparalleled Dragon King" said:
"By next year, maybe it will be worthy of the name..."
Others agreed one after another and started a heated discussion. The post instantly reached dozens of pages.
…………
Lou Cheng took a breath and stretched out his hand towards Liang Yifan, making a gesture of pulling him up.
Liang Yifan did not delay, reached out to grab it, and stood up. He only had frustration and loss, but no gloom and gloom. He gave a thumbs up and said:
"You are indeed the better one today."
"I have better luck." Lou Cheng said modestly.
Liang Yifan smiled and shook his head, staggered out of the pit, left the ring, walked back to the exclusive rest room, and saw "Yi Hou" Fei Dan waiting at the door.
"Bring you some elixirs to treat internal injuries caused by ice and fire." The graceful "Yihou" said with a smile.
"Actually, it's not bad." Liang Yifan took a breath and opened the door.
Fedan strolled behind and asked casually:
"How does it feel?"
"It's a bit of a pity. If I could accurately judge his purpose and use Jiezijue in advance, I would not be stopped and have no chance to use it again. In that case, the chance of winning is not small, but there are no ifs in martial arts." Liang Yifan sighed openly.
"Yi Hou" pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"In my opinion, the main reason is that you are too 'honest' and not as 'slick' as him."
"A war is never tiring of deceit. This is a normal and reasonable battle." Liang Yifan shook his head, smiled, and sighed, "In another year and a half, he will be even more terrifying."
…………
In the lounge, Lou Cheng washed away the dust and cooperated with the doctor to treat his physical injuries.
Yan Zheke also sent a message, asking with concern:
"How does it feel?"
She had already felt heartbroken when she saw Lou Cheng covered in bruises and staggering as he accepted the cheers.
Lou Cheng thought for a moment and replied with a smile:
"It's not too serious. It's just that I suffered a lot of injuries. I'll probably only be able to recover 70% during the semi-finals. I fought really hard today."
In the last round of madness, he used offense instead of defense and did not defend. Even if the opponent counterattacked, he only avoided the vital points to prevent being directly hit. However, injuries from collisions and strong forces were inevitable and rare.
Quite a few.
Without waiting for the girl to mention the matter again, he said with a "bad smile":
"This is not the point. The happiness and excitement of winning Liang Yifan is not as good as another thing. Hehe, I have to seriously consider how to spend that day."
Yan Zheke's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she spat at the screen, "staring in shock" and saying:
"Why didn't I know you were such a gangster before?"
"How could you not know?" Lou Cheng said with a raised eyebrow, "A certain person often calls him a gangster, a big gangster, and a stinking gangster."
"...You have changed...You were not like this before!" The girl was "humiliated and angry".
In the midst of flirting and flirting, the "Dragon King" took five minutes to defeat Shushan Zhai Luoxian without much injury, and the top four of the "Martial Holy War" were officially born.
This is also the first time Lou Cheng ranks among the top four in a title match.
Since there were only four strong men left, the lottery ceremony was immediately held. After receiving the notice, Lou Cheng packed his clothes, took his cell phone, left the lounge, and headed to the stand where the organizing committee was located.
Halfway through, Yan Zheke asked expectantly:
"Orange, who do you want to draw?"
"Uh, 'God-Zhanping Sword', at least I can expect him to capsize in the gutter." Lou Cheng said, "Sighing out."
This is just a good expectation, because Lu Yongyong has lost to him before, and he definitely wants to clear his name this time, and will pay extra attention to it.
"Yeah." Yan Zheke nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then "covered his mouth and smiled":
"This is the first time I saw someone compare himself to a gutter~"
Pfft... Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed. He had already arrived at the empty bleacher area. The tall "Kilin" Dong Ba, who had a bun on his head and looked like a classical warrior, was standing nearby, with a slicked back hair and a hand-held sword.
The magical sword and the profound road are always far away from him.
Within a minute, the "Dragon King" Chen Qitao, dressed in navy blue, arrived slowly. As he walked, his majesty was revealed, making people dare not look directly at him.
The person in charge of the organizing committee wore a small microphone and said loudly:
"The top four of this year's 'Martial Holy War' were born. They are the four best and strongest warriors recently. They are the 'Dragon Kings'..."
His voice suddenly rose in pitch, and there were shouts from all around, like a mountain falling and the ground cracking, in response:
"Chen Qitao!"
After reciting the words one by one, the person in charge of the organizing committee took out a ball from the box with a black background and gold edges and showed it to the surrounding cameras:
"Dragon Tiger Club, Lou Cheng!"
Hiss, who will he encounter... Lou Cheng straightened his back, and Yan Zheke and others in the distance also straightened their sitting postures and held their breath.
The person in charge of the organizing committee took out another round ball, looked at it, smiled and said:
“Dragon and Tiger Club, ‘Dragon King’ Chen Qitao!”
"Dragon King"... Hearing these two words, Lou Cheng's mind suddenly flashed back to what his master said when he first started practicing martial arts:
"Admiration? When you can completely defeat the warriors you admire one day, that will be the greatest respect for them."
The martial artist I admire most is the "Dragon King". One of my martial arts dreams is to challenge him in a very important competition!
Lou Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked to the side, only to see "Dragon King" Chen Qitao also looking over.
He is handsome, tall, majestic, majestic, mature, and has a kind of divine charm.
Under the light, brilliant and floating, everything is like a dream.
