With Wu Shitong's departure, the central ring seemed to have become a kingdom that only belonged to Lou Cheng, allowing him to accept the applause and applause alone. The bluestones under his feet reflected the sunlight hanging from the transparent dome, as if they were dyed with a layer of golden brilliance.
Lou Cheng was a little embarrassed, imitating the strong outsiders who fought for the five major titles, and bowed to all sides respectively, in exchange for even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
He took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the edge, took back his coat, mobile phone and belongings from the competition supervisor, and left along the stone steps.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly froze, and he saw Ye Youting in pink and white martial arts uniform standing near the ring, standing Baisong who had shined in the previous competition, and standing several professional students who he had remembered from watching the competition for a few days A ninth-rank powerhouse, and in the stands a little farther away, he also found Wang Ye who lived in the same hotel and swaggered the arena with his iron sand palm.
Their postures are different, but their eyes are all focused on themselves!
In an instant, Lou Cheng's body felt numb as if there was an electric shock. A subtle sense of accomplishment and lingering joy arose. Could this be that the experts at the ninth rank of the profession also began to pay attention to their own games
Clap clap! Facing Lou Cheng's gaze calmly, Ye Youting clapped her hands, indicating that she played well, and Bai Song and other professional ninth-rank powerhouses beside her also nodded slightly as a sign.
This is a kind of recognition from the strong, that Lou Cheng is close to their class!
Feeling even more accomplished, Lou Cheng nodded his head and walked towards the more remote stands, wanting to share the joy of victory and recognition with Yan Zheke as soon as possible.
He had just walked up the steps, looking for a seat with no one around, when a call suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Lou Cheng!"
who? Which acquaintance? Surprised and stunned, Lou Cheng looked over in a daze, but only saw a strange face.
This strange face belonged to a young man, he gave a thumbs up and shouted to Lou Cheng:
"You played really well!"
The audience next to him also followed suit:
"The lad is amazing!"
"Not bad, not bad, the most exciting game in the past few days!"
Seeing these unfamiliar faces smiling at him, calling his name familiarly, and praising his own performance, two lines of poems suddenly popped up in Lou Cheng's mind: "Mochou has no confidant in the future, who is at the end of the world?" People don't know you."
In a strange city, thousands of miles away from home, he felt a bit of the warmth and joy of returning to his hometown. They overflowed a little bit and reverberated in his heart. The sense of accomplishment was only a lot more than before!
"No wonder the Dragon King once said that once you have tasted the joy of victory, you will never want to experience failure again..." The thought flashed, Lou Cheng nodded in response, and quickly hid away with a bit of shyness like a new wife getting into a sedan The stand corner.
Unlocking the phone screen and logging on to QQ, he originally wanted to make a dejected look to tease Yan Zheke, but the joy overflowing in his heart made him unable to restrain himself, so he directly posted a laughing emoji with his hips akimbo: "I have lived up to you!" The expectations of the organization!"
Yan Zheke quickly replied with the emoji of "thumping chest-thumping monkey": "Not bad! But there is one question, who is the organization?"
"The name of the organization is Yan and the name is Zheke. Fortunately, you lent me your wisdom and character. I almost lost!" Lou Cheng replied with a smirk.
Yan Zheke sent a clenched fist and cheered emoji: "It's good to know! The competition is thrilling?"
She is very interested in Lou Cheng's martial arts competition.
This made Lou Cheng couldn't help but come up with the saying of "Sage of Love" Cai Xiaoming, chatting with girls, it is necessary to do what he likes, and God opened his eyes, he and Yan Zheke share the biggest common hobby of martial arts.
"Although Wu Shitong is one year younger than us, but the city is very deep, he seized the opportunity that I didn't know his martial arts skills, and deliberately put on the posture of only throwing and opening the stele hand, and it lasted for a long time , Even if I was passive, I slowly lost my vigilance. When I seized an opportunity and hit him in the chest, I realized that his fundamental martial art is a golden bell, and he used this deliberate trap to capture him. My wrist." Lou Cheng briefly described this vivid scene.
Yan Zheke sent a shocked emoji: "I'm scared to death! If I didn't know that you won, I really never thought you would come back in this situation."
The girl's astonishment doubled Lou Cheng's sense of accomplishment: "Fortunately, I'm good at meditating, and I'm good at congealing water. After he grabbed my wrist, through contact, it made me hear more clearly. , can always predict his movements, block or attack the gate in advance, and gradually accumulate victories."
"Are you so good at listening?" Yan Zheke made a stunned onion expression.
But without waiting for Lou Cheng to reply, she said again: "I just checked the official website, and your game video was posted on it, I'll watch it first and then talk~"
The exciting competition in the central arena will undoubtedly be valued by the organizers.
"Haha, remember to save it after reading it, and send it to me when I get back to the hotel." Lou Cheng replied with a smile on his face, turned his eyes to the central ring, watched the next match, observed and analyzed every move of the two sides, And simulate your own response.
After a while, the QQ message sounded, and Yan Zheke posted a "cute emoji of constantly eating snacks": "Even if I heard you say it first, I was still sweating when I read it, and I was so nervous, it's a good thing you You are very good at Ting Jin, or you will lose, Chengzi, you have become so strong all of a sudden... In the final Ting Jin hand-to-hand fight, I felt that you were no worse than my cousin in this regard."
"The strength of listening mainly depends on the level of tranquility and the ability to condense water. I have talent in this area, and Coach Shi said that you have it too." Lou Cheng took the opportunity to beat around the bush and praised it.
Yan Zheke replied with an expression of nodding frequently: "I heard that both the condensate pile and the meditation kung fu have been practiced to the extreme. It is one of the 'Bingbu''s unique skills, 'Cave Enemy Bingxin', which can effectively fight against negative emotions and reflect the surroundings in one fell swoop. With one move, analyze the opponent's moves..."
"You speak such written language... Did you just search it out?" Lou Cheng made a smirk.
Yan Zheke returned a shocked expression: "Don't expose..."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Yan Zheke said with a smile covering her mouth: "I have to go out."
"Going out for dinner?" Lou Cheng planned to go out of the martial arts gymnasium to fill his stomach after watching the last match in the central arena, and wait for the fifth and final knockout round in the afternoon.
"No, go back to the ancestral house and accompany grandma to make rice cakes. She always feels that the ones sold outside are not as good as the ones sold at home, so she can eat whatever she wants on the way." Yan Zheke sent a tail-wagging emoji.
"Hit rice cakes..." Lou Cheng replied with a dizzy expression, and he had seen rice cakes occasionally in supermarkets and restaurants outside.
"This is a New Year's custom in many places here. Xiushan doesn't have it, and I know you don't." Yan Zheke returned the emoji of thumping the ground and laughing.
Lou Cheng blushed: "The custom of Xiushan New Year is to make glutinous rice cakes and bacon sausages. By the way, you seem to be using a new emoji today?"
"Hey, every time I see a cute, cute, and fun emoji, I will download or save it. When I use it, I feel like I also become cuter~" Yan Zheke replied with a clapping and laughing emoji.
Chatting with each other, Lou Cheng finished watching the game, went to a nearby cheap light meal, and then returned to the Martial Arts Arena, waiting for the match list for the fifth knockout round to be released at 1:30.
"I have to practice martial arts in the afternoon, so I won't be able to know the result of your competition immediately." Yan Zheke said with a pitiful expression.
"Don't worry, there are two matches a day today. With my stamina, as long as I don't meet the professional ninth rank, I will definitely win!" Lou Cheng boasted.
Yan Zheke returned a snickering expression: "But my intuition tells me that you may have a bye in this round. After the group stage, the game time can be arranged today, right? I can pre-set the martial arts training in the morning It's still afternoon."
"Then I won't say much, lest your bad character will affect your prophecy." Lou Cheng first made an excuse for Yan Zheke's failure.
Time passed by, and at 1:30, multiple large screens rolled out a new match list, starting at 2:30 and ending at 5:00, this time there were three arenas.
Staring at it, Lou Cheng searched for his name and number, and waited until the end:
"No. 656, Loucheng, this round has a bye... This round has a bye?" Lou Cheng stood up in surprise, and immediately took a photo of Yan Zheke and sent it over: "Thank you, Fairy Yan, for her straight mouth, golden mouth and jade teeth, and her character shines through!"
This enters the group stage
Yan Zheke responded to the emoji of the monkey who set off the firecrackers: "Say! How should I repay me!"
Promise with your body... Lou Cheng replied silently, and said with a blushing smile, "I owe you a meal before, and it seems insincere to invite you to dinner again."
"That's right." Yan Zheke nodded with a little monster expression.
Lou Cheng thanked God for giving him the opportunity, and immediately pressed the keyboard on the screen and said, "How about I invite you to visit Songcheng to find special delicacies?"
"Uh, do you have time? There should be special training next semester..." Yan Zheke sent a question mark expression on her head.
Lou Cheng could hear her hesitation, and deliberately changed the topic: "Let's settle down for now, and we'll see when the time comes, or I'll show more sincerity and bring you Xiushan's delicious food when school starts. If you don't go back during the winter vacation, You must miss it a lot, right?"
"Think about it! Think about it! I want to eat all over the city when I go back to summer vacation!" Yan Zheke said with eyes shining, and then added a sighing expression, "But I want to eat the stewed quail next to Xinhua Bookstore Eggs, grilled eggplant from Lao Liu’s barbecue, steamed beef sandwich at the back door of the school, glutinous rice cakes from Wang’s rice noodle… I can’t bring these with me…”
Lou Cheng looked at it with a smile, changed the subject again, and silently wrote down all the delicacies Yan Zheke mentioned in the memo on his phone.
When it was almost two o'clock, Yan Zheke went to the ancestral house to practice martial arts. Lou Cheng got a bye, relaxed, with his hands in his hands, wandering around the venue, watching the competition with a leisurely and comfortable attitude, recording some highlights from time to time, I plan to share it with Yan Zheke at night.
During his free time, he occasionally reviewed what had happened in the past few days, and only felt a dream, which was much better than what he expected before departure.
I really made it to the group stage!
