On May 21st, at 8:00 p.m., at the Nine Questions Pavilion.
Surrounding the stands were crowds of people, shouting loudly, and the building was set up in the center, inexplicably reminded of the scene of the finals of the University Martial Arts Association, and it seemed like a world away for a moment.
In front of him, Dong Ba left the exit first, and came step by step. He was wearing a light white and dark red martial arts uniform. He was tall, about 1.9 meters tall, but he didn't look bulky, but rather slender.
Dong Ba first combed his temples upwards and tied his head in a simple bun. His facial features are not outstanding, but his lines are clear and his outline is rigid.
His complexion wasn't very good, and he could vaguely see the hidden discomfort in his walking and walking, so that he didn't show his breath, and had a spiritual confrontation.
When he stopped at the predetermined position, the referee glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist, pushed down his sunglasses, raised his right hand and said:
"Conversation time begins!"
Dong Ba first looked at Lou Cheng, with a little rebellion in his eyes that did not belong to his age.
The corner of his mouth hooked slightly, and he spoke gently:
"I know that my injury is much more serious than yours, and I really don't have much hope of winning today."
Huh, not as proud and conceited as I imagined... Lou Cheng was a little bit taken aback, so he restrained his thoughts and waited for the next article.
Dong Ba tilted his head first, moved his gaze upwards, stared at the lights on the dome and said:
"Compared to the title of 'Kirin', I miss my title of king more... I can be defeated, but I will never admit defeat, even if I just retire due to injury, unless I am unable to move."
This is the concept and will of "King of War"!
Having said that, he smiled slightly:
"Besides, it's not guaranteed to lose. There is still hope if you try to fight hard. If you retire directly, it is impossible!"
"Even if this hope is not great, I will do my best to pursue it!"
Dong Baxian's imposing manner suddenly exploded, the light from the dome seemed to be attracted by invisible objects, and firmly attached to his body, covering him with a pure and brilliant armor, that kind of tall and straight, proud, tyrannical, and disdainful. The feeling soared to the sky.
Infected by his words, Lou Cheng was also full of fighting spirit, his waist sank, and he responded with a smile:
"I will do my best to win!"
The two stopped talking, and their aura moved the world and changed the atmosphere in the venue. There was a sudden light trying to illuminate everything, and there was also a blizzard trying to bury everything.
The referee retreated to the edge step by step, waited for a while, raised his right arm, and slammed down:
"start!"
pedal! Dong Ba first put on the radiance of light, and stepped forward with a standard offensive posture.
Lou Cheng moved in response, his back swayed, his body turned, and he flanked his opponent in the direction of the blizzard.
At this moment, Dong Baxian's martial arts uniform exaggerated and highlighted every muscle and vein, like a dragon, his body disappeared suddenly, and flashed in front of Lou Cheng at a supersonic speed, and rushed towards him without any fancy!
"Golden Book of the Eastern Emperor", "Shunpo"!
The battles are intense from the very beginning!
A few minutes later, the site of the Nine Questions Pavilion was full of potholes, flying gravel, melted and recondensed glass-like things, and traces of scorched and frozen.
In the biggest shallow pit, Lou Cheng and Dong Baxian were lying on each other only two or three meters apart, both described as extremely embarrassed.
After a burst of blackness before his eyes, Lou Cheng slowed down and felt that his spirit was almost dry, and his head was stabbed like a stabbing knife.
He struggled and tried to stand up, but found that he had fractured several places, including his left arm, and the largest wound with a light hole could even see the internal organs.
Snapped! Lou Cheng finally got up, swayed a bit, and almost failed to stand still. He looked up and saw that Dong Baxian was also trying, but failed repeatedly, worse than himself!
This battle is really tragic... If I really have the heart of contempt and disdain, I am afraid I will follow Dong Baxian's way, and be "weak" and "strong" and succeed... His initial words not only showed determination and will, but also I was quietly showing weakness, trying to paralyze me, but who knows, once they fight, they will play desperately and desperately... Fortunately, I am not blindly optimistic, and I still value this "King of War"... In the end, everything becomes a dish The chickens pecked at each other... Lou Cheng took a deep breath while his thoughts were turning, resisted to visualize, and performed the simplified "Pro" formula on Dong Baxian.
Immediately, Dong Baxian was exhausted, and the struggle stopped. He just wanted to lie down and rest, but Lou Cheng's body and mind were pure, and the wound sped up and healed.
Biting the tip of his tongue lightly, resisting the feeling of desperately wanting to sleep, Lou Cheng moved his feet and came to the side of Dong Baxian who had no resistance anymore.
Seeing that his toes touched the opponent's temple, the referee breathed a sigh of relief, raised his right hand, and proclaimed loudly:
"Lou Cheng..."
He took a breath and raised his voice a little:
"Win!"
Phew... Lou Cheng exhaled foul air, his eyes turned black again, and golden light spots flew up, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Finally, finally got the right to challenge!
And the "Martial Saint" challenge is in mid-July, so I have enough time to recover to my peak state.
Of course, at that time, they will also face the 100% "Dragon King"!
...
Hearing the referee's voice, the Internet-related sections suddenly boiled, and news headlines sprung up like mushrooms after rain:
"Not popular, Lou Cheng wins!"
"The head of Tianjiao won the right to challenge the title half a year earlier than 'King Ming'!"
"Consecutively defeating 'Wu Sheng' and 'Kirin', Lou Cheng's first place in the knockout round is well deserved!"
"Is he on track to get his first title in July?"
"Dragon-Tiger Civil War in July!"
…
In addition to these praise titles, there are also many people who expressed disappointment:
"It is foreseeable that the 'Wu Jihad' in July will be very boring."
"I'm not belittling Lou Cheng. He will definitely have multiple titles in the future, but he's still a little young now. Getting the right to challenge this time is more a matter of luck. When he faces the 'Dragon King' who has been restless, There's almost no chance of winning."
"Comparatively speaking, if Dong Ba goes to challenge first, there is a 30% chance anyway."
"Well, let us look at such a suspenseless game with a blessing mentality."
...
Lou Cheng didn't pay attention to the online comments because he was dealing with his injuries.
When his right hand was free, he hurriedly replied to Yan Zheke, "smiling triumphantly":
"The first game you watched live after returning to China should be the battle between me and the Dragon King."
Yan Zheke "pushed down the sunglasses, and a light flashed on them" said:
"Are you inviting me?"
"Of course!" Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the girl put down her phone and looked up at the information on the computer screen.
She rolled her eyes and thought for a while, then turned to "July" on the decorative calendar next to her, found "12th", then picked up a pen, drew a circle there, and marked it. , it was "July 5" when she returned to China.
Taking a deep look at the calendar, Yan Zheke took a deep breath, shook her fist lightly as if to encourage herself, and then devoted herself to her study.
...
After lying in the hospital for several days, Lou Cheng, who had initially recovered, returned to the Dragon Tiger Club, feeling a little uneasy.
According to the character of the "Dragon King" rumored in the market and his own observations accumulated over time, this top outsider is indeed narrow-minded and indifferent to challengers, and will not show any kindness, let alone beating and training.
My previous self was not qualified to enjoy this kind of treatment, but now that I have obtained the right to challenge the "Warrior Sage", the attitude of the "Dragon King" may change...
After changing his clothes, Lou Cheng stepped into the Waigang training ground, and was about to enter his own part, when he saw the "Dragon King" Chen Qitao standing in front of him in a navy blue suit, his expressionless and majestic.
"How's the injury?" Chen Qitao asked in a low voice without seeing any waves.
"It's good, it's almost done, I can practice." Lou Cheng replied after consideration.
Chen Qitao nodded invisibly, then pointed to the lakeside:
"Let's start sparring when you recover."
"Uh, okay." Lou Cheng was overjoyed at first, then full of doubts.
The attitude of "Dragon King" is different from what I expected!
Has he changed his temper
But as the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change!
Could it be that he still thinks that I'm not qualified enough to beat me steadily... Thinking about it this way, I'm really disappointed...
At this time, Chen Qitao had turned his hands away, turned and walked outside.
Lou Cheng hurriedly restrained his thoughts, stepped to keep up, and subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little pain from nowhere.
