(Sixty-three) It’s about to happen! The opening of the challenge
Three days later
The early morning sun shone a bright light from the horizon, as if to replace the only dark night in the sky. A round of early morning sun quietly peeked out from the eaves in the east, as if to take a peek at this midsummer morning. Soon, the early morning sun had completely floated up from the eaves, generously sprinkling the sun on the Songbai Dojo that had just woken up from sleep, causing the disciples who came out for morning exercises to squint their eyes and raise their hands to block the dazzling sun. Early morning sun, you have brought hope for a new day to so many people, and brought so many new days to those who work hard for their dreams...
With the rising of the sun, a new day has arrived. The most important day for the people of Anyang has also arrived. On this day, many people have lined up in front of the entrance of the gym challenge without even having breakfast. Some people have even bought tickets and sat in. They excitedly talked about this year's gym challenge with their acquaintances, talking about which gym they are optimistic about. Some crazy fans have already placed bets on this...
This day is also of great significance to the participating gyms. It is so rare to have such an opportunity to participate in the gym challenge and compete with masters! Not only can you improve the reputation and honor of your own gym, but you may also be able to break the bottleneck in your training for many years...
At this time, Songbai Dojo and other Dojos participating in the competition were in the same mood. Excitement, excitement, nervousness, worry, and a variety of inexplicable complex emotions lingered in the hearts of everyone in Songbai. This was the sixth time that Songbai Dojo participated in the Dojo Challenge under the leadership of Senior Brother Ruobai. Since Senior Brother Chuyuan left, Songbai Dojo has been stuck in the top 16 for the past five years. Even with the support of Senior Brother Ruobai and Senior Brother Yifeng, it can only reach the top 12 at most. There is no chance to meet Xianwu Dojo, let alone compete.
But this year is different! Although the "masters" of Xianwu Dojo, Fang Tinghao and Fang Tingyi, have returned from the United States and decided to participate in this year's Dojo Challenge, they did not feel discouraged at all. Instead, the boiling blood in their hearts burned even more vigorously.
What are you afraid of! They have Senior Brothers Ruobai and Yifeng to support Songbai Dojo, and Senior Brother Changan is back this year. Even if Senior Brother Changan can't participate in the competition, he can still guide the competition, right? It's not a foul to guide the competition during the competition, as long as it's not so obvious.
As for the female contestants, they had no confidence in Baicao's participation. After all, this was her first time participating in a competition. Even if Baicao had lost her memory before, it would not change the fact that she was a white belt. It was impossible to remember all the memories that had been forgotten for many years overnight, right? Not to mention that Baicao was Qu Xiangnan's disciple.
But they still didn't give up. If Baicao couldn't do it, they still had Jin Minzhu! Senior Brother Ruobai had previously considered Jin Minzhu's identity and didn't let her participate in the competition, fearing that it would have a bad impact on her. But the little girl didn't care, and instead happily told them that she was happy to cheer for Baicao and Songbai Dojo, and said that as long as Songbai Dojo and Senior Brother Ruobai needed her, she could always replace Baicao - the little girl's righteous look made everyone laugh. Xiu Da also joked that Jin Minzhu had changed from "Changhai Little Lion" to "Songbai Lucky Cat". No matter where they went, everyone would always look at Jin Minzhu or Songbai Dojo, as if they had discovered something new.
Isn't it? Songbai Dojo had just entered the venue, and many eyes were cast on Jin Minzhu behind Baicao. The curious and inquiring eyes made Jin Minzhu hide behind Baicao.
"Hey, isn't that Jin Minzhu from Changhai Gym? Why is she in Songbai Gym's team... She seems to be wearing Songbai Gym's uniform? Could it be that Jin Minzhu has already joined Songbai Gym?"
"Who knows? It must be that because of the disturbance that Kim Min-joo caused at Jeonseong Gym and Songbai Gym that day, she was punished by Min Seung-ho, the senior brother of Changhai Gym, and stayed at Songbai Gym to study."
"Then I am really looking forward to the competition at Songbai Dojo this year. Maybe the female contestant of Songbai Dojo this year will be Kim Min-joo!"
"Yes, Kim Min-joo is so strong. If the female player of Songbai Gym this year is really Kim Min-joo, then Songbai may really make it into the top 14 this year..."
Everyone was talking at once, causing a blush on Jin Minzhu's pretty face. She didn't dare to look up at anyone. She tightly grasped the corner of Baicao's clothes with her right hand, fearing that Baicao would walk to the front if she wasn't paying attention.
It's just a gym challenge! She's not a big star, why are people looking at her... Besides, she didn't want to stay because she was punished by her senior brother, but because she wanted to stay... Although she now knows that the big sister who changed her was not Baicao Ouni, she doesn't regret it at all. In her heart, whether it's Yichen Ouni or Baicao Ouni, the one who changed her and reminded her of her original dream is the person in front of her, the one she is unwilling to let go of even if she dies.
Baicao frowned slightly and turned to look at the crowd in the audience. Baicao's sharp eyes, like a bayonet, pierced the hearts of the crowd accurately, and instantly quieted the originally babbling crowd.
Jin Minzhu looked up at Baicao with gratitude. Baicao said nothing, but pulled Jin Minzhu to her side and walked side by side with her.
She doesn't allow anyone to tell the people around her what to do. Even if Jin Minzhu didn't stay because of her, in her heart, Jin Minzhu has long been her sister. She doesn't allow anyone to hurt her!
Just as Songbai Dojo was entering, an excited and high-spirited voice of the host was heard from the host group: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Anyang's annual major event, the 23rd Dojo Challenge! Here you can watch the competitions of your favorite dojos, and also get a glimpse of the style of each major dojo! Well, without further ado, I declare that the 23rd Anyang Dojo Challenge will begin now!" As soon as the words fell, there were intense cheers and applause from the audience, and the surging waves seemed to be about to crush the competition stage.
Not surprisingly, before the gym competition, the cheerleaders from each gym enthusiastically performed their pre-rehearsed dances, making the already enthusiastic crowd even more excited.
The most eye-catching one was the cheerleading team of Songbai Dojo. Logically, all the female members who did not participate in the dojo challenge should join the cheerleading team to cheer for their dojo. The Songbai Dojo's team shocked everyone as soon as they started. Except for Lu Chenfeng, who was paralyzed in both legs, almost all the female members who did not participate in the competition joined the team. Among them, Jin Minzhu, who was dressed as a fairy, aroused cheers and applause from the audience. Some people who had already placed bets on other dojos were even considering whether to change their bets.
After the cheerleading performance, the exciting competition will naturally begin. What everyone should pay attention to is that the first gym to play this year is none other than the Songbai Gym that attracted attention in the cheerleading performance just now, and the opponent is also the old rival of the Songbai Gym - it is the Haikuan Gym that has been "against" Songbai in the arena in recent years. It was this Haikuan Gym that caused the Songbai Gym to stop in the top 16 every year. For this reason, everyone in Songbai has long hated the Haikuan Gym. Humph, it's just right, since you are the first one to come to our door today, let us teach you a lesson! Let you dare to look down on our Songbai Gym again!
