Martial Arts Master

As expected of Peng Leyun, when he finally saw the dawn of defeating him, he was instantly overturned and ushered in defeat.

Intense depression filled Lou Cheng's heart. If he had never had hope, he would not be so annoyed and blamed himself now. The joy was so pure just now, but the pain now is so heartbreaking.

More than four months of patience, more than four months of hard training, and more than four months of anticipation, finally came to nothing and turned into running water.

It's ridiculous, I also vowed to Keke that I would teach Peng Leyun an unforgettable failure lesson with Lin Que, suppress his will, affect his belief in victory, and delay his breakthrough to the inhuman level. He kept his hope in the finals, but now he was slapped in the face, and he was ashamed to face Jiangdong's elders.

It is probably fortunate that I am a relatively low-key person, and such words have only been said in front of Keke, otherwise I don’t know how many ridicules and sarcasms will come.

If, if I am the first to play in the lottery, defeat Fang Zhirong with a dislocation advantage, and challenge Peng Leyun in a relatively peak state, brother-in-law should have hope to defeat this monster, right?

If I hadn't been in such a hurry just now, hadn't been frightened by Peng Leyun's ease of use, and hadn't been in a hurry to use the mutant version of "wake-up call", and rely on my own abnormal physical strength and the supplement of golden core to grind for a while, would things have been different?

...

When a person encounters setbacks, it is always difficult to restrain himself from thinking that if he had made a different choice, or done better in certain details, the result would have changed, and Lou Cheng was no exception, but the more Thinking about it, he became more annoyed and more painful, even a little angry, angry at himself.

Taking a breath, visualized the "Ice Mirror", restrained all kinds of thoughts, Lou Cheng nodded to Peng Leyun whose panting had eased, turned his body, and walked towards the stone steps with vain steps. His body muscles were still trembling, and his internal organs The internal organs are extremely uncomfortable, and there is a salty rusty taste rolling in the throat, as if brewing and spitting blood.

Not only did he lose, but he also suffered serious internal injuries... Lou Cheng sighed secretly and shook his head bitterly.

At this moment, I don't know who started it, and the Shanbei students in the stands suddenly applauded, from sparse to enthusiastic, from noisy to neat, for the wonderful battle just now, and for the admirable opponent Lou Cheng.

You walked off the ring with your head held high!

The applause echoed, and Yan Xiaoling burst into tears, crying so heartbroken, she was moved by everyone's recognition of Lou Cheng, but also saddened by the previous defeat, Lou Cheng played so well, why did he let him lose? ?

The cruelty of the game is that most of the time there is only one winner, but this time, the winner is Peng Leyun.

Hearing the applause given by his opponent, Lou Cheng let out a sigh of relief, but the frustration and pain in his heart still couldn't be completely resolved, and he walked off the ring as a loser, his footsteps fluttering and his figure bleak.

Halfway through the walk, he met Li Mao. He forced a smile, stretched out his right hand, and clapped his hands with him, saying in a low voice:

"The opponent left for you is too strong..."

What a shame! I'm really not reconciled!

"Maybe he has reached his limit, let me catch a leak? Then I can talk about this game for the rest of my life." Li Mao replied in a joking manner deliberately, trying to resolve the pain in Lou Cheng's eyes.

Losing to Shanbei is normal, losing to Peng Leyun is no shame!

"Fight well!" Lou Cheng didn't say much, nodded, passed Li Mao, walked to the seat, and saw Yan Zheke, who was dressed in white, came up to him.

The girl's eyes were a little red, she bit her lower lip lightly, and said firmly:

"You played great!"

Even if you lose, I'm still proud of you!

If it were someone else, Lou Cheng might not be in the mood to respond too much, but facing Coach Yan, he couldn't treat him like that anyway, and said with a wry smile:

"Hopefully next time you can say 'you played well' and 'you are amazing'..."

"Fighting well" means losing the battle but playing admirably, "playing well" means winning the game heartily!

"En!" Yan Zheke nodded vigorously.

She knew that Lou Cheng didn't want to listen to words of comfort or forgiveness, so she just stretched out her hand and held his palm, silently trying to convey her warmth to him.

If the pain is shared by others, can it be weakened a lot? Yan Zheke half-supported Lou Cheng to sit down, thinking obsessively.

…………

Listening to the sound of applause coming from the computer, Qu Hui in a tuxedo and top hat turned pale, and he was no longer in high spirits from the beginning.

Are these two guys fucking human?

I recognized Peng Leyun alone. He has been strong for more than two years. It is not unacceptable to become an almost inhuman monster. Anyway, he is used to losing. I never thought about winning Shanbei.

However, in just over four months, how could Lou Cheng have such daunting strength? How did he suddenly soar from I think there is hope to defeat to only leaving behind?

How can I fight this? How about next week's game?

Qu Hui turned his head and looked at Luo Haize, Yin Xiangxi and other team members, and saw that they all had terrified expressions, either dull, dazed, or trembling.

The gap is so big that people don't want to chase after him... Qu Hui looked back in pain, saw the close-up shot of Lou Cheng, and noticed that his condition was wrong, he was overjoyed suddenly, and blurted out:

"Lou Cheng is injured!"

And it's not the kind of flaw that will heal soon!

Peng Leyun's "Shocking Thunder Strength" combined with simplified Waigang moves is very terrifying. I know very well that I was hit with no protection and no offset. I have suffered from injuries for nearly two months. Even if Lou Cheng's physical fitness is far better than me back then, but Peng Leyun is not the same as he was back then, without more than half a month of recuperation, Lou Cheng might not be able to recover!

"Is Lou Cheng injured?" Luo Heize and Yin Xiangxi woke up together, and asked back with hidden joy.

"Yes! Look at his current state. Pay attention to the replay later to see if he was directly hit by Peng Leyun's 'Thunder Seal'." Qu Hui seemed to have experienced a near-death escape, and he was grateful and ecstatic. "Besides, Lin Que also suffered from 'Dark Poison Strength', so he probably won't be able to play at his best next week. Haha, they don't know what to think. They clearly know that there is such a big gap with Shanbei, why are they still fighting so hard? Made it so miserable? Isn't it cheap for us?"

"I think we should pay tribute to their martial arts spirit, and then enjoy this gift!"

Amid the ridicule, everyone in the Martial Arts Club of Sanjiang College confirmed Lou Cheng's situation through slow-motion playback, and immediately released the depression and fear accumulated before, and became excited again.

Here's our chance!

Thanks to Lou Cheng and Lin Que for their martial arts spirit, and for their hard work!

…………

In the office of Martial Arts Club of Imperial College, Chen Diguo, Shen You, Jiang Kongchan and others stared blankly at the projection screen, forgot to speak, forgot about other things, making the atmosphere strangely quiet.

For a moment, they thought that Peng Leyun would lose, but they didn't expect that Lou Cheng, who played to that level, still couldn't defeat this proud man of heaven.

After dozens of seconds, Chen Diguo smiled wryly and broke Shen Ning: "Xiao Li~ What level do you think Peng Leyun has reached?"

Ren Li pondered for a while and replied:

"One step closer to inhumanity."

One step closer to inhumanity... Shen You, Jiang Kongchan and the others chewed on these five words, feeling lost and in awe.

Ren Li's naturally drooping hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

…………

In front of the computer screen, "Huan Fan" let go of his hands holding his braid, and let a few crystal clear teardrops run across his face and fall to the floor.

She clicked on the forum and posted a post:

"Woooo! Why, why, he played so well, why let him lose!"

"Touching my head, it's already very good to be like this, much better than I expected. I thought Lou Cheng would be at the top seven at most. I'm afraid that he would be easily defeated by Peng Leyun, which would affect his confidence." "Dragon King of Unrivaled World" comforted Looking at the little girl "Huan Fan".

"55555, I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen, I just want him to win! I feel so distressed when I see him like that!" "Huan Fan" sent an emoji of "covering his ears and shaking his head".

"Nie Qiqi" also said with "tears streaming down his face": "I know it's pretty good that he can fight with Peng Leyun to this level, no, it's pretty good, but I still can't help but feel sad, hey."

"You girls, why are you so fragile? Do you need uncle's comfort? Don't let your heart go!" "Yiguanchunaijun Okamoto" joked a few words and then sighed, "Stop talking, I can't make it up anymore , I'll go smoke a cigarette and calm down."

"Hey, think about the gap between Lou Cheng and Peng Leyun half a year ago and a year ago, and look at it now, you should be able to let go of it?" "Road to the Ring" popped up and said.

Damn it, Lou Cheng lost to Peng Leyun who was at least half as strong as him, you are all so sad, when I was killed by him who had no rank, shouldn't it be time to jump off the building?

Fortunately, Lou Cheng has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and losing to him has become an interesting topic, and there will be no shame...

At this time, "Many Little Gaos" suddenly appeared and replied: "We rationally know that what you said is right, but we still cried loudly..."

…………

In the live broadcast room of the video website, guest commentator Zhang Hezheng expressed emotion:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This game makes me want to use my old arms and legs. Lou Chengqiang and Peng Leyun are even stronger. They are both awesome!"

The host echoed: "Yeah, I didn't expect Lou Cheng to push Peng Leyun to this point, it seems like he's reaching his limit!"

"To the limit? No, Peng Leyun was overloaded for a short period of time. It doesn't mean that he has no strength to fight anymore. Hey, if Lou Cheng doesn't fight a few times in the end, maybe even his overloaded state won't be seen. Arrived." Zhang He couldn't help but sighed, "At the stage of the most rapid development, at the age of the most vigorous, it is very sad and regrettable to meet such an opponent who can steadily suppress you."

"You mean that Peng Leyun is stronger than what he just showed?" The host was stunned.

Zhang He nodded invisibly and said: "He is enjoying the game, not trying to win the game. I don't need to say more about the difference between the two, right?"

"In other words, Peng Leyun is the strongest at the last moment?" the host asked suddenly.

"You can say that." Zhang He sighed a little.

Is this the proud son of heaven who is aiming at the outer gang?

When I was at the peak of the sixth rank, how could I be so strong!

While they were talking, bullet screens appeared one by one, and it seemed that no one paid attention to the battle between Li Mao and Peng Leyun:

"I have to say that Lou Cheng is really good, he can fight Peng Leyun to this level after only practicing martial arts for more than a year!"

"I'm kneeling down..."

"It's so tough that I have no friends!"

"He can indeed be regarded as the candidate for the proud son of heaven, and he is more hopeful than others!"

...

After receiving many positive affirmations from Lou Cheng, someone looked into the future and said, ""I can't even imagine what level Lou Cheng will reach in half a year or a year. Will he be able to surpass Peng Leyun? "

This sentence immediately stabbed a hornet's nest and attracted a group of people to besiege:

"Beyond Le Zai? Hahaha, what a big joke! Do you think Le Zai won't be promoted? He will enter the inhuman level soon!"

"A guy who relies on supernatural powers and his ancestral chromosomes, what qualifications does he have to be called together with Peng Leyun?"

"Didn't you listen to the commentary? Gang Lezai didn't use his full strength at all. Well, he fell down before he used his full strength!"

"Tsk tsk, fight again if you have the ability. Peng Leyun just fought Lin Que a few tricks. If you fight one-on-one, you won't be able to make Lou Cheng call you daddy."

"You guys are endless, people are just guessing based on the facts, Lou Cheng has been promoted from a real ordinary person to a martial artist who is close to the sixth-rank or weaker rank-6 after practicing martial arts in one year and two months, and give him another half a year, who knows How far can he grow?"

"Hehe, I didn't make fun of him. Such a large-scale improvement never lasts too long, and the more difficult it is to go up, the speed at which Lou Cheng becomes stronger will inevitably slow down. If he can enter the inhuman realm within a year, I'm going to eat live!"

"Yeah, Lou Cheng is very powerful and a genius, but if he has to compare with Peng Leyun, then I will answer you with the lines of comics, waste material, you are not good enough, go to the street, go eat shit!"

"I wonder if Lou Cheng will lose his confidence after being beaten by Le Zai. Just now I found out that he is desperate, and a warrior without confidence is just a salty fish, it is difficult to improve!"

There was a lot of quarreling on the Internet, and I cried after the game to see how they praised Lou Cheng's "Huan Fan".

Damn it!

I really want to hit them!

I really want to quarrel with them!

On the ring stage, the battle between Li Mao and Peng Leyun had already begun. The latter did not turn around and leave the arena, leaving Xu Wannian the chance of actual combat. Instead, he gave his opponent the greatest respect, calmed down his breath, and put on airs. Let him attack.

This was the most hearty match that Li Mao played. "Blizzard Twenty-Four Strikes" was one move after another, one move after another, more and more fierce, more and more crazy, almost no stagnation, no stuttering.

Snapped!

He punched out the most powerful punch since he practiced martial arts, and felt unparalleled comfort.

Peng Leyun swung his waist and abdomen, put his arm on it, blocked it accurately, and did not move at all.

Li Mao was about to attack again, when he suddenly felt his body was empty and he had no power to continue.

Before I knew it, I had played "Blizzard Twenty-Four Strikes" once!

Looking at Peng Leyun, who was out of breath and in a daze, Li Mao laughed at himself and said:

"Thanks."

Thank you for your fulfillment.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked off the ring without waiting for the referee to make an announcement. He had no regrets or loss, and could only sigh slightly.

The referee then raised his right hand and said:

"In the fourth round, Peng Leyun won!"

"Shanbei University wins this game!"

At the home team seat, Xu Wannian threw his fist happily, feeling that he had escaped a catastrophe and did not need to face the monster that could rebound the "crow's mouth". Fang Zhirong's eyes were gloomy, not much happiness, and he was brooding over his defeat against Lin Que.

On the Songda side, when Li Mao came back, they high-fived each other and returned to the locker room in silence.

Approaching the gate, Lou Cheng, who was holding Yan Zheke's palm, turned his head subconsciously and looked at the ring position. He saw Peng Leyun standing there, applauding to the surroundings. The lights fell, covering him with a layer of golden light.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lou Cheng closed his eyes and entered the dressing room.

…………

On the high-speed rail on the way back, everyone in the Martial Arts Club didn't speak much. Cai Zongming wanted to break the atmosphere several times, but he didn't have the mood to say anything.

Sitting in the back row, Mu Jinnian and Yan Xiaoling looked at Lin Que who was so silent that he didn't say a word, they were full of distress, and wished they could muster up the courage to go up and say something to comfort them, but in the end they didn't take any action.

Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke leaned on each other, smelling the familiar fragrance, feeling the warmth that made them relax, their mood calmed down a lot, and they slowly recovered.

"You see a lot of people are praising you on the Internet." Yan Zheke happened to turn to some Weibo comments, saw the praise at the beginning, and hurriedly handed the phone to Lou Cheng, with an expression on her face that she was about to praise me.

Lou Cheng watched one by one. Seeing that everyone affirmed his strength and expressed his admiration for the excitement of the previous game, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little bit. Yan Zheke also brought his head closer and watched with him. , from time to time slightly raised the white and delicate chin, revealing a sense of pride.

But looking at it, when Lou Cheng turned to the part where he was compared with Peng Leyun, he found all kinds of ridicule, such as relying on supernatural powers and ancestral chromosomes, being beaten without confidence, and being far from enough, candidates Just candidates.

His temples twitched, and his heart was filled with unexplainable anger. He wanted to prove something, wanted to quarrel and argue, but found sadly that losers have no excuses, and only victory can fight back.

Yan Zheke bit her lips tightly when she saw it, and the black and white eyes burned with anger that made her even more radiant.

She suppressed her anger and didn't want to infect her boyfriend with this emotion. She stretched out her finger to make the screen exit the discussion, pretending to be rational:

"Cheng Zi, don't pay attention to them, some people are black because of black!"

"En." Lou Chengwai turned to comfort Coach Yan, but suddenly saw a long Weibo, from "Jianghu Baixiaosheng", a well-known big V related to martial arts:

"This failure will do more good than harm to Lou Cheng."

Huh? Why do you say that? Not only Lou Cheng, but also Yan Zheke were quite curious, and hurriedly clicked to read:

"It is foreseeable that Lou Cheng will enter a period of slow improvement."

"Why do I say this? You can see that every time Lou Cheng's strength rises, he awakens his abilities."

"There is an obvious common sense here. The awakening of the supernatural power will greatly improve the quality of the body. Of course, the premise is that there is no barrier of realm. That is to say, if the supernatural power is not awakened, the strength of the physical body will not change A qualitative change occurred."

"Lou Cheng has just entered the alchemy state, and he can have the strength of quasi-seven. It depends on his own abnormal physical strength and frost strength. He can go from quasi-seven to weak six in more than four months, relying on ice and fire. The second awakening of double superpowers and the 'honeymoon period' of officially contacting alchemy practice, now, this stage has passed, and we all know that the awakening of supernatural powers is more difficult every time, within a year or two, Lou Cheng will not have such The dividends."

"In this way, it is foreseeable that the speed of his strength improvement will slow down. By April next year, he will have practiced more ice moves and related combat experience can be expected. At most, he will go from weak six to ordinary six. , the gap with Peng Leyun will be further widened."

"And this speed will accompany him for a long time. Whether he can step into the inhuman level without relying on the awakening of supernatural powers within two years will be the test of whether he can be regarded as the arrogance of the world."

"This complete defeat came in a timely manner, so that he will not be inflated, and he can clearly recognize himself, understand the gap between himself and Peng Leyun, and the fact that he may not be able to catch up in a few years. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"Maybe this is a slap in the face?"

This long Weibo seems to be speaking from Lou Cheng's point of view, but the whole article is in a condescending tone, and the sinister thinking that Lou Cheng relies on the awakening of supernatural powers to make rapid progress, both in and out of the words think that he is not as good as Peng Leyun, next You have to get used to mediocrity, get used to being depressed, Yan Zheke's teeth itch for a while, she quietly clenched her fists and said:

"This man is talking nonsense, Cheng Zi, ignore him!"

"Hmm." Lou Cheng exhaled.

In fact, "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" is right in saying something. The bonus of his leaping promotion is indeed almost gone. The awakening of supernatural powers is not something that can be considered at this stage. At the stage where it needs to be accumulated over time, only the internal practice of the word "Zhe" can still be expected.

Because of this, I became more and more angry at this comment, angry because I couldn't refute it.

Seeing his expression, Yan Zheke pursed her lips, her eyes turned up, thoughtful.

…………

When the group returned to the new campus of Songda University, it was already dark, so they waved to each other and said goodbye in a low mood.

Mu Jinnian couldn't control his footsteps, and followed Lin Que, looking at his silent back, he kept thinking of going out to comfort him.

No, I knew that Lin Que wouldn't want to comfort her... She restrained herself and stayed by Lin Que's side just two steps behind.

When he was approaching the Jiudong dormitory, Lin Que suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mu Jinnian:

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

"Huh?" Mu Jinnian was dumbfounded.

Him, is he talking to me?

He spoke to me for the first time!

He knows I want an autograph?

After waking up, she hurriedly took off her backpack, took out a pen and sticky notes, and handed them to Lin Que.

Lin Que didn't speak any more, and wrote a line:

"Thank you for not comforting me."

Thank you for not comforting me...Mu Jinnian took the note that came back and saw Lin Que turned and walked into the dormitory. His eyes were painful, but his back was straight.

"I will always support you!" Mu Jinnian shouted, no longer caring about other people's eyes.

…………

Lou Cheng was dragged by Yan Zheke to the lake, walked through the woods, and came to the still desolate West District.

"What are you doing here?" He asked involuntarily.

"Follow me~" Yan Zheke had never been here before, and only entered the West District when she was "abducted" by Lou Cheng, but she noticed what was around her with the care and sensitivity unique to girls.

Pulling Loucheng to a building that was not fully completed, she pointed to it and said, "Let's go to the roof, I want to blow some air."

This building is planned to be the library of the new campus, which will replace the current temporary one and become the largest library in the province and one of the top libraries in the country.

"Okay." Lou Cheng understood that the girl wanted him to climb high and look far away, blow the cool breeze and soothe his mood, so he didn't refuse.

Along the stairs, the two walked up step by step, very slowly, and after a long walk, they finally reached the top and saw the scenery without the guardrail.

Looking down from the heights, the East District is brightly lit, the lake reflects the light, the scenery is so charming and so refreshing, it seems that the depression in Lou Cheng's heart has been resolved a lot.

"Let's sit on the side." Yan Zheke suggested.

She has no fear of heights at all.

Taking the tissue, Lou Cheng spread it on the edge, and sat down with the girl cuddling each other, breathing the refreshing cool breeze, and looking at the open world.

Suddenly, Yan Zheke looked forward and said:

"Chengzi, do you still remember that I sang to you?"

"I remember, it was to cheer me up." Lou Cheng smiled.

Yan Zheke pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes waved gently and said:

"Then I'll sing it to you again~"

Before Lou Cheng could answer, she hummed softly facing the emptiness outside:

"Run forward, meet cold eyes and jeers

How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships

Fate can't make us kneel down and beg for mercy

Even if the blood is all over the arms"

The singing of the girl Qingyue echoed in his ear, before his eyes was the endless expanse of the land, the galaxy flowing in the darkness, her black hair fluttering in the wind, Lou Cheng felt a little drunk for a while, his emotions gradually emptied, and his heart was filled with tears. More power.

Failure is not terrible, what is afraid is losing fighting spirit and losing confidence.

Then keep running forward, facing cold eyes and ridicule!

"Keep running with childish pride

How can you see the brilliance of life if you don’t persist to the end

It's better to burn than linger

It will sprout again one day! "

The singing is curling up, and the lingering sound is endless.
