After the trip to Pingjiang, Lou Cheng felt that he had suddenly calmed down, really calmed down, calmed down from the inside out. In the past, in the face of daily hard training, although he gritted his teeth with great perseverance and persisted, even more so. Because every bit of it pays off, he became more and more determined, but in the end he breathed a sigh of relief. He endured for Yan Zheke's favor and a bright future in order to get the ninth rank of the profession within one or two years, and he felt eager for quick success .
This kind of mentality can indeed drive me to practice hard in a short period of time, but when I encounter certain setbacks, when the stage achievements are not as good as imagined, I will inevitably report double frustration and loss, tormenting the mind and bringing unpredictable consequences.
Guard against arrogance and impetuosity, ancient good teachings, I have no arrogance, but I have the meaning of restlessness!
After calming down, Lou Cheng gradually internalized the daily tempering into his own life, peaceful and peaceful, warm and firm, and even his temperament seemed to have changed, which made Cai Zongming quite surprised, often teasingly said: "Could it be that Chengzi has encountered unspoken rules, why does he feel that his temperament has changed a bit?"
Facing his words, Lou Cheng only said a few words indifferently: "Come here, I will strangle you to death."
Unknowingly, after two weeks passed, Lou Cheng only felt that he had broken through a certain barrier in the "Yin Yang Pile", "Thunder Fire Pile" and "Condensation Pile" and stepped into a new level. His ability to coordinate his body was obvious. Improvement, the short-term explosive power within two or three moves has been significantly improved, the concentration and calmness during martial arts training have been significantly improved, and the slightly myopic eyes seem to have returned to their original clarity, and sometimes they can even feel the gaze of others.
It was Saturday morning again, and the time was close to twelve o'clock. Li Mao restrained his smile and said solemnly:
"Chengzi, come one last time."
Lou Cheng nodded slightly, opened his moves, and waited for the sophomore brother's move.
Li Mao did not simply "go straight to the middle palace" like two weeks ago. With one step, the whole person "swimmed" to the left side of Lou Cheng's body, with Cheng Cheng's right hand palming the knife, slashing obliquely towards Lou Cheng's neck.
Lou Cheng didn't panic, raised his left arm, and separated Li Mao's palm, but before he could counterattack, Li Mao walked behind him again.
However, as soon as Li Mao's footsteps landed, he saw Lou Cheng kicking with his legs behind him, almost without warning, as if he had been prepared for a long time.
"Good!" He praised, took another step, dodged the kick, and then unfolded his footwork, like a swimming dragon, constantly attacking around Lou Cheng.
At this time, Lou Cheng didn't need to be deliberate to be half-quiet, his thoughts seemed to be divided, and he focused on observing the opponent's movements while making a calm and quick decision. "Palm" in a hurry, stretched left and right.
After fighting for a while, Li Mao's footwork suddenly changed, and he slid closer, followed by a punching cannon punch, the fist was like a cannonball, and the wind was loud, almost like breaking a mountain.
Lou Cheng didn't dare to block it, and pushed his wrist sideways, but Li Mao's foot had already been thrust in between his legs. If this was placed properly, it could not only serve as a fulcrum for throwing skills, but also affect Lou Cheng's throwing skills. , so that he did not dare to use several kinds of footwork, it was difficult to use force, and he hit it with one shot.
Seeing this situation, Lou Cheng's mind was full of thoughts, and he had various ideas and many solutions, but he did not hesitate, and made a decision in an instant, taking a step back, Li Mao took another step, and he took another step.
Go forward again, retreat again, advance again, retreat again, the two of them seem to be dancing in a tacit understanding, and the distance between them has never changed much.
Li Mao exhaled, didn't try any more, and slid again, forcibly approaching, using his feet as the source to drive his back, his breasts alternated, like a series of cannons, bang bang quickly.
Lou Cheng only felt that he had encountered a violent storm and could capsize anytime and anywhere, so he had to do his best to reach the first or second. However, he was not at a loss, using his fists, elbows, arms, etc. alternately, constantly blocking, with a sense of rhythm, and The footwork is not chaotic, and he always keeps himself in a state that is relatively suitable for exerting strength.
Under this kind of attack, if the footwork is disordered and the strength cannot be released, it will be the end of instant defeat!
A series of cannon punches, tiger roars and wind roars, Lou Cheng struggled to support himself, completely forgetting the passage of time, just when he felt that he was approaching the limit, Li Mao stepped back, and the pressure suddenly disappeared.
He looked blankly, only to see Li Mao shook his head and said with a smile:
"The time is up, the coach has blown the whistle and the get out of class is over. This is our first tie."
Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, Fang felt his hands were sore, he shook them, and said with a slight smile, "Thanks to senior brother for being merciful."
This is not modesty, but the truth, because it is only teaching and practicing, Li Mao has not used his full strength, and it is more of a form of feeding.
"That's not what I said. If I hadn't practiced with you every day for more than two weeks, and I could feel your obvious progress every day, I would definitely not believe that you are the same Cheng Zi." Li Mao said with emotion, " More than two weeks ago, you were still a super rookie who hadn't even fought much, your speed was not strong, your strength was not strong, and your reaction was even more timid and slow, but now, you are worthy of the four-character comment of "proficient in boxing and kicking" .”
"You are proficient in fists and feet..." Lou Cheng chewed on these four words, feeling somewhat joyful in his heart.
"Don't look at the words 'proficient in fists and feet' that sound like describing beginners, which is not very good, but it is one of the standard comments of amateur ninth grade." Li Mao said with a smile.
"Brother, do you mean that I have the level of amateur ninth grade?" Lou Cheng asked in surprise.
It's less than three weeks, and he has the level of amateur ninth rank
Li Mao nodded: "Proficiency in fists and feet means that you will strike when you want to, and you can skillfully and reasonably use moves in a fight without messing up your footwork. This alone is better than the 90% guys who fight randomly. It's amateur ninth grade, hehe, but amateur ninth grade may not be proficient in fists and feet. Some people have too obvious physical advantages, and the fixed product competition is a competition, not a form of evaluation. Being able to knock down the opponent doesn't pay so much attention to the proficiency of fist and foot moves."
"Hey, it's still the same sentence, if I didn't practice with you every day, I would call my girlfriend out to see God now, you know how long it took me to get from beginner to amateur ninth rank You practiced martial arts at the age of ten, and passed the amateur ninth-rank competition at the age of fifteen, although you didn't practice every day, but five years, five years, you only had three weeks!"
Lou Cheng was not overjoyed, but smiled calmly: "This is different. Most people who practice martial arts since childhood are in the stage of physical development, and their physical fitness such as strength increases little by little. It will take several years to match I am an adult, and I am already a real adult, and I don’t need to wait for my body to grow.”
"Although this is the truth, it can still prove that you have a strong talent. It's a pity, why didn't you go to learn martial arts, and missed the best time to practice martial arts." Li Mao said regretfully, and then patted Lou Cheng on the shoulder, Back to the locker room.
Looking at his back, Lou Cheng recalled the joy just now in his heart:
In three weeks, I will be an amateur ninth grade. When school starts next year, how many grades will I have
Not to mention such a long-term thing, but now, my improved explosive power, my improved calmness and focus, and my improved coordination ability have not yet fully integrated into the moves and footwork, and there is always a vague barrier between them. After breaking through this layer of barriers and merging these into one, how many amateur strengths can I have
Thinking about these things, Lou Cheng quickly walked towards the women's changing room, catching up with Yan Zheke and Guo Qing.
"The weather is really nice today. It seems that God is blessing us." He said with a smile.
After coordinating everyone's schedule, the friendship is scheduled for this afternoon, gathering at 1:30, going to Zhaoshan Lake for an autumn tour and boating, and having a good meal outside in the evening, considering that Lou Cheng, Yan Zheke and Guo Qing have to get up early for special training , I won’t sing K after dinner.
Yan Zheke's black hair is tied up, and her ponytail is bit by bit, which adds a bit of playfulness and vitality: "I have always been a sunny baby. I have never encountered rain in all the spring and autumn outings I participated in since I was a child. You have to thank me I!"
Lou Cheng was about to hit the snake with a stick, so he said yes, I will invite you to dinner (or I will give you snacks) and thank you to show his sincerity!
But Guo Qing who was next to him interrupted impatiently: "I'll meet you later, what's the rush to chat now? You boys are not troublesome, just have a meal, we still have to clean up and wash our hair."
When she said it, Lou Cheng almost blushed, so he could only smile and said, "Then I'll take a shower first, see you in the afternoon."
"See you in the afternoon." Yan Zheke smiled and waved.
Resisting the urge to look back, Lou Cheng entered the locker room with a slight sigh in his heart.
After persevering in chatting and exchanging, greeting each other, being funny and courteous, coupled with the natural closeness of classmates, the relationship between herself and Yan Zheke is getting better and better. She even started to call her nickname Chengzi, but she always missed something and couldn't change it. Furthermore, just like the male and female tablemates who were not ambiguous but had a good relationship in high school, they always had a bit of politeness.
What to do next
After taking a bath and having lunch, Lou Cheng returned to the dormitory and saw Zhao Qiang, Zhang Jingye and Qiu Zhigao all choosing clothes, trying to appear in front of the girls with the most energetic appearance, while Cai Zongming was beside him giving instructions.
"Sure, Zui Wang, you still have such abilities." Lou Cheng joked.
Cai Zongming smiled and said, "It's not that I'm good, it's that they usually dress too, uh, too single, including you."
Glancing at him, Lou Cheng turned his head to look at the busy people in the dormitory, and said to Cai Zongming in a low voice:
"Love Saint, do you think this person wants to show off his bloody courage because he has a little martial arts?"
"That's right, it's forbidden to be a chivalrous man." Cai Zongming turned his head and looked Lou Cheng up and down, pretending to be terrified, "Cheng Zi, don't you think that you want to practice that slogan? You will really go to jail! "
"What are you thinking!" Lou Cheng scolded with a smile, "I mean, if I went out with Yan Zheke to socialize with Yan Zheke when I didn't have much boxing skills before, I definitely hope that the journey will be safe and sound. Don't encounter black cars, don't encounter hooligans, don't Meeting Roadhog, in short, went smoothly, without twists and turns, but now, I am a little looking forward to meeting hooligans in the afternoon, meeting the rich second generation*official*second generation who have no brains, and then I can be a hero to save the beauty .”
Cai Zongming did not refute, but calmly replied:
"Wake up, your goddess is stronger than you, and there is Lao Qiu, an amateur sixth-rank, and me and Guo Qing, who will get you in the hero rescue?"
"Also..." Lou Cheng's mouth twitched.
Well, there is no way...
