"Dear parents and children, welcome to the Children's Martial Arts Competition held by Jinbei Taekwondo Hall..."
The so-called martial arts conference is actually just a promotional event aimed at children and their parents. Naturally, it is not very formal and has a bit of the flavor of a campus activity.
However, it seems that the organizer does have some connections, as the event was actually held inside the amusement park. A small arena that looked like a real stage was built on an outdoor stage that was originally used for performances, and there were ready-made seats for the audience around it.
As for promotional activities, they are naturally centered around publicity, so the most eye-catching thing around is not the ring, but a circle of densely packed billboards and banners, all of which are recruitment advertisements for this Taekwondo teaching class.
As for the competition, it is conducted through advance online registration and on-site registration, and only accepts children aged six to twelve. The children are divided into two groups, one aged six to eight, and the other aged nine to twelve.
Louise was naturally in the group of six to eight year olds. At first glance, most of them were little boys wearing small white Taekwondo uniforms. I guess they were all students of Jinbei Taekwondo Gym.
"This pretty little girl wants to participate too? Don't let her get hurt. Children don't know how to control their strength. It would be terrible if she got disfigured or injured."
A middle-aged lady saw that such a cute little girl like Louise was actually participating in the competition, and couldn't help but kindly advise her.
The parents of the Xia family basically put safety first, so most people watch this so-called martial arts competition. Even though a lot of people gather because of the flow of people in the amusement park, there are very few actual participants, and at a glance, the participants are basically all boys.
After all, it is basically boys who are interested in "martial arts", and girls only learn dancing or something like that. Even if there are parents who are really interested in it, they usually won't agree, and it's difficult for them to agree with the concept.
"No way, Louise is amazing."
Hearing the aunt looking down on her like that, even though she knew it was well-intentioned, Louise still waved her fist in annoyance. Her cute look made the people around her smile.
"Louise can prove herself with her strength later and surprise the aunts."
Xia Xu touched her head lovingly.
It's true, after the old lady said this, Louise really started to act like the protagonist of the story.
To praise, one must first criticize. The protagonist always has to be looked down upon before he can shine.
"All the participating children should have received their competition number plates by now. We will randomly select the participating children for the competition. Please invite the selected children to come on stage..."
There aren't too many formal and fancy operations. After the atmosphere is warmed up, the competition begins soon. The host draws lots on the spot. The two people with the drawn numbers will compete, and the next round will be continued from two to one. Anyway, there are so many contestants, so the champion can be decided in a few rounds.
"Now, please welcome number six to compete against number fifteen! Please invite the two children to the stage!"
What disappointed Xia Xu a little was that Louise did not follow the rule that the protagonist always appeared last, and was actually picked out in the first group. She was number fifteen.
"Louise, remember, don't use too much force, don't use lethal fighting techniques, don't attack vital parts, don't..."
Xia Xu's earnest reminder attracted strange and speechless looks from many parents around.
You're not allowed to use too much force or lethal fighting techniques, so why don't you say you're not allowed to kill people
"Yeah, Louise remembers it."
Louise nodded seriously, then stepped onto the stage with a solemn expression on her face.
On the other side of the ring, her opponent also appeared.
"This guy is only eight years old?"
"Why is the other one a little girl?"
As soon as the contestants came on stage, there was undoubtedly an uproar.
Louise just turned six years old, which just barely met the registration criteria. As a little girl, her body also looked very petite and tender.
On the other hand, her opponent looked to be almost eight or nine years old. Children grow fast. She was almost a head taller than Louise and was a little more muscular than her peers.
Such an obvious contrast is just like a high school student bullying an elementary school student. How can we fight this
Such a delicate little girl would probably cry for a long time if she got punched, right
"Ah! Wuuwuwu, I won't fight you anymore. I won't fight you anymore. You are bullying me!"
As soon as the game started, as everyone expected, crying sounds started in an instant.
Unfortunately, they guessed the wrong person.
Of course, the person crying couldn't be Louise.
As soon as the host announced the start of the game, Louise let out a soft "Hey Ya", took a few steps on her short legs to help her jump up, and kicked the little boy opposite her in the face with her whole body in the air.
Ordinary people who learn fighting and martial arts basically practice the moves step by step. In actual combat, they have to fight slowly or quickly turn it into wrestling, not to mention a child who has only learned it for a short time.
The little boy opposite had never seen Louise's real fighting skills, so he forgot to dodge and was kicked directly. He fell to the ground, covering his eyes and crying bitterly.
"I... I didn't use much strength..."
When Louise saw this scene, she panicked and looked at Xia Xu and Olivia for help.
There was a small commotion at the scene, and the little boy competing on the opposite side was quickly taken away, and Louise also left the stage as the host hastily announced her victory.
"Mom, Brother Xia Xu, Louise is really weak..."
Louise lowered her head, looking as if she had done something wrong, but there was a hint of grievance and injustice in her voice.
"Okay, okay, brother, I know. It's not Louise's fault. But you have to be more cautious later, okay?"
Xia Xu quickly tried to comfort him with kind words.
He is not one of those parents who would blame their children as soon as something goes wrong. On the contrary, he is a protective person. Even if Louise really has some problems, he would not blame her at this time.
Fortunately, the flying kick just now was just a scary action, but it didn't cause any serious injuries. It only left a black eye on the boy opposite, and it hurt for a while and then it would be fine. The other boy's parent was also a cheerful middle-aged man, and he didn't pursue the injury from this "competition".
The competition continued, round after round, and there were no more accidents. Lu Yi advanced without any suspense.
Obviously, she was fighting against a boy of the same age or even several years older than her, but Louise made it look like an adult punching a kindergarten kid, which shocked the audience and made them exclaim in disbelief and horror.
However, this also made the audience enjoy it very much. After all, real fighting and fake fighting are completely different. Those who really know how to fight will give people a feeling of power because of their instinctive force techniques even if they don’t use too much strength.
Louise's little fists were waving vigorously and she could knock down her opponent with just a few moves, while the others were mostly punching and kicking in a routine and stiff manner. The contrast was immediately apparent, and many male parents present exclaimed that watching this little girl fight was even more interesting than watching a real fighting match, especially those with names starting with WW.
