Lou Cheng is not a reckless person. After getting off the plane, he called the "Dragon King" and "Luo Queen" respectively to avoid getting caught by the club.
It was confirmed that "Dragon King" went to the military base, but "Queen Luo" was in the office.
Unwilling to wait, Lou Cheng politely declined Ning Zitong's proposal to send members of the "assistant team" to pick him up, took a taxi and arrived at the Dragon Tiger Club, and walked through the gate with a smile on his face.
In the astonished expression of the security guards in the guard room, he followed the lines of the dark floor tiles, walked in the wide aisle, and stopped at the elevator door, habitually not registering, and the former also habitually let him in and out.
Jingle!
The elevator on the left arrived, and the metal doors retreated to both sides. A thin black young man with a three-quarter hairstyle walked out slowly, who seemed to be Huang Bin from the "assistant team".
He was looking down at the documents in his hand with his head down. Just as he left the car, he suddenly felt something and raised his head subconsciously to look at the visitor who was about to take the elevator in front of him.
"Lou, Mr. Lou..." Huang Bin was startled when he recognized Lou Cheng, the documents in his hand fell and scattered.
"Long time no see." Lou Cheng chuckled and helped Huang Bin grab the information.
His palm was nothing special, but it seemed to cover the surroundings, not letting a single page fall to the ground.
"Okay, long time no see..." Huang Bin took the information in a daze.
"Let's talk later." Lou Cheng stepped into the elevator and nodded in greeting.
Huang Bin nodded hurriedly, staring blankly at the metal door closing.
Just when Lou Cheng arrived at the fifth floor, walked through the corridor, and knocked on the door of "Queen Luo" Ning Zitong's office, the news of his sudden appearance in the club spread through the airwaves.
"What? Lou Cheng is here?" Auman and the others in the "assistant team" office were all surprised.
"Has Lou Cheng come to the club?" In the practice field of the "preparation group", the heroic Lu Shaofei looked at the plump, masculine and tough captain Tu Zheng, and blurted out a question.
Tu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Someone from the assistant team met him."
A year later, he was still stuck at the level close to Waigang, and the pressure on him was getting bigger and bigger.
And those people who were as famous as him at the beginning, many have not yet broken through, only Xuanwu sect Gou Wen and Shizhoudao Mengliang succeeded, whether it is Daxing Temple Zhiren, Shangqingzong Mingshi, Shushanzhai Qingfeng, Yanzhaotang Wangxuan, Still stuck here, the dragon gate is not so easy to jump over.
"He really wants to return to the professional game..." the strong but round-faced Yu Wangyuan said thoughtfully.
Lu Shaofei said with a "hmm": "His sequelae seem to be resolved."
"With his momentum at the beginning, without this year's delay, he might be at what level he is now." Sun Jianlin, who is like a passerby, said with emotion.
Jia Lu, who always had the feeling of watching a drama from the sidelines, rolled her moist eyes and said with a chuckle, "No matter what, he's back again. I thought those who played in low-level professional games would come back first."
Tu Zheng's brows loosened, and he said solemnly as a captain:
"Since he's back, he's still our teammate. Try not to mention his previous injury."
"Also, no matter what he has gone through, I believe he still has the foundation. You, including me, have to cheer up, and you can't be compared to him!"
Lu Shaofei, Yu Wangyuan and others, as young Gaopin, have a competitive heart, and they all answered loudly:
"Yes, Team Slaughter!"
...
Dong dong dong, Lou Cheng knocked on the door of Ning Zitong's office rhythmically, and heard the clear and translucent voice like spring water:
"Please come in."
Opening the door and stepping in, he saw Ning Zitong sitting behind a dark red desk, with his hair down and casually scattered, and his facial features were beautiful and elegant with a bit of mixed-race feeling.
Taking a deep look at Lou Cheng, Ning Zitong shook his head and said with a smile:
"Your generation's arrogance is really worthy of the name, no one is left behind..."
Two leaped over the Dragon Gate at the age of 23, and two achieved Waigong at the age of 22. As for the Living Buddha, that's not to mention—Ren Li, who just turned 22 in July, is five months younger than Lou Cheng. Of course, she practiced martial arts much earlier.
"Uh, everyone worked very hard." Because Empress Luo not only praised herself, but also praised Peng "Taoist" and "Chihuahua", Lou Cheng couldn't be modest, so he had to say that casually.
Because they returned from Nile late, Peng Leyun and Ren Li are still practicing the Waigang Chapter of their respective sects, which have not been officially announced to the public.
Ning Zitong leaned back, outlined his lips and said with a smile:
"When I first heard about your breakthrough from the Dragon King, I almost thought it took him more than 30 years to finally learn how to joke. In the end, hey, he's getting old and can't keep up with you young people."
What's even more exaggerated is that the kid in front of him broke through the pass and jumped over the dragon gate by himself without any external force!
Before Lou Cheng could answer, she stood up and said:
"Let's go, go to the 'core team' to meet your future teammates. As for the contract, let your lawyer discuss it later, and you won't be treated badly."
"Okay." Lou Cheng smiled indifferently.
...
In the "preparation group" practice field, Yu Wangyuan, who started to do relaxation exercises, said casually:
"Lou Cheng has returned to the team, shall we have another banquet?"
"No need, isn't this a reminder to stimulate him?" Lu Shaofei shook his head and replied, looking forward to it again, "I don't know how far he has recovered, Team Tu, why don't you advance the team practice to tomorrow?"
This made Jia Lu, Sun Jianlin and others eager to try.
Tu Zheng finished training, held his mobile phone, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let him get used to it for a few days."
At this moment, there was a vibration in his palm, and news came in.
Tu Zheng looked down, his face changed suddenly, and he blurted out:
"Lou Cheng has gone to the 'core group'..."
...
"He? A new teammate?" "Optimus Prime" Long Zhen, who was called out by Empress Luo from the private training ground, was startled when he saw Lou Cheng.
He just heard that there was a new Waigang joining, and he racked his brains, but he couldn't figure out who it would be. He was full of curiosity and questioned—the number of Waigang is limited, even if they don't have any friendship with each other, they are familiar with each other. Long Zhen believes that, If someone really "jumps", he will definitely get wind of it in advance. As for those who have just made a breakthrough, there are only a few, or even none, who treat them as treasures.
Not only Long Zhen was surprised, but "Wu Chi" Guo Jie was also shocked. If Lou Cheng continued the momentum of a year ago and said that he had broken through the outer world, he would believe it, but he was seriously injured for a year and suffered from sequelae for a long time. Why did he jump over the dragon gate all of a sudden
Beside her, team member and coach Lu Yan's eyes flickered, and he looked at Lou Cheng in astonishment, half-believing.
He is just middle-aged, but his hair is already half-white, and his facial features are handsome and profound, but just by looking at his face, one can feel his unruliness. In the past, for the super-standard treatment given to Lou Cheng by the Dragon King, he always treated Lou Cheng. Tianjiao avoided seeing him.
Ning Zitong was very satisfied with the current effect, and said with a melodious smile:
"He broke through in the Nile in early August."
After finishing speaking concisely, she looked at Lou Cheng, raised her chin as a gesture.
Lou Cheng smiled slightly, took half a step forward, let go of the spirit, highlighted the connection, the surroundings suddenly became dark, the chill was born, soaked into the bone marrow, and a little bit of fire light emerged one after another, warming the surrounding area.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yan, Long Zhen and Guo Jie no longer had any doubts, but fell into their own emotions and were speechless for a while.
"It's amazing, it's amazing! It's really amazing to be able to make a breakthrough after a year of serious injuries and delays!" Long Zhen was the first to give a thumbs up. Easy!"
He never ignores other people's real achievements, and he will also sincerely admire them, but he will never admit defeat and will not let the other party easily surpass himself.
Without this year's serious injuries and delays, it might take another two or three years, or four or five years, before I can break through, or even never break through... Lou Cheng thought peacefully.
Guo Jie stretched his brows and eyes, nodded and said:
"Let's discuss it later."
As expected of a "martial idiot"... Lou Cheng secretly laughed.
Lu Yan maintained his majesty, nodded to him and said:
"I really underestimated you at the beginning. Now that you have jumped over the Dragon Gate, you are a well-deserved member of the 'core group'."
At this time, Ning Zitong turned his wrist and looked at his watch: "Okay, I'll take him to meet the reporter, it should be almost here already."
After Lou Cheng got off the plane, after calling, she ordered the foreign affairs team to contact various media in Huacheng.
...
In the large meeting room of the Dragon Tiger Club, the foreign affairs team has completed the arrangement for the press conference.
"It's related to Lou Cheng?" A reporter turned his head and asked his colleagues.
The woman with chestnut red hair nodded and said, "That's what I heard."
"Lou Cheng previously claimed that he would be able to return to the ring in four or five months. It was early April, and it's almost the same now. Did he join the Dragon Tiger Club again?" The reporter who asked the question first guessed.
He wears narrow-rimmed glasses, very stylish.
"The word 'you' is used well!" Another reporter from the literature and art department laughed, "Lou Cheng is repeating Feng's wife!"
The meaning of the idiom is to return to the old business.
"It's a pity, after delaying this year, Lou Cheng has fallen behind from the top of the world..." The female reporter with maroon hair dyed sighed.
At this moment, Ning Zitong and Lou Cheng walked in from the door of the conference room, and sat behind the announcement platform.
"Hey, this is not enough attention, only Empress Luo is alone." The reporter with narrow-frame glasses was keenly aware of the abnormality.
The reporter from Literary and Art Fan nodded in agreement: "It's true... Lou Cheng hasn't changed much, he's just a little more restrained."
At this time, Lou Cheng had already changed into the dark blue Dragon Tiger Club martial arts uniform, calm and masculine, without any trace of student spirit.
Ning Zitong raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, smiled and said:
"I'm the only one accompanying Lou Cheng this time, because he no longer needs the pressure and support from Wai Gang, he already has enough qualifications to sit here."
Clicking, clicking, the flashing lights continued, and the reporters quickly recorded the words of Empress Luo, but they had not yet tasted the true meaning contained in them.
Ning Zitong cleared his throat and said:
"I'm announcing one thing now."
"Lou Cheng has rejoined the Dragon Tiger Club and officially entered the 'core group'!"
As expected, it was back to Dragon and Tiger... The reporters were stunned and took notes separately, then chewed out the inaccuracy of those words, raised their heads suddenly, and moved the focus of their eyes back and forth to Ning Zitong and Lou Cheng.
