Similar questions also appeared in Lou Cheng’s fan forum. “Bull Demon King” replied jokingly, “Perhaps he hasn’t fought in such a long time and is a little out of touch…”
“It’s a rare opportunity to have such a great opponent. If he didn’t make the best use of the opportunity for practicing his newly learned martial arts, how could he account to himself? [Smiling sheepishly expression]” said the Unparalleled Dragon King.
“In other words, our Lou Cheng hasn’t gotten serious yet? [Clapping excitedly]” asked Yan Xiaoling as she continued her habit of asking when she didn’t understand.
A Plumber Eating Mushroom replied, “He is definitely serious about the match. It is just that his aim was to increase his own experience and trying out new things most of the time.”
“To put it simply, fighting without the aim of winning is really badass!” Okamoto’s Fan summarized it simply. “If you guys don’t mind, I can use more ornamented description to explain.”
“I don’t want to know. It’s definitely dirty! [Cover ears and shaking head expression]” replied Brahman.
“Fight fight fight! The last few strikes were really great!””Old Gun” vented his emotions without caring about others.
“Yeah, it was awesome!” Nie Qiqi seconded.
Yan Xiaoling replied proudly, “Haha, just like I have said! The current opponent still doesn’t require us to keep a low profile and accumulate good karma! Since when has Lou Cheng disappointed us?”
“Yeah yeah yeah” commented All The Good Names Are Taken By Dogs. After heaving a sigh, she continued, “Speaking of this, I am suddenly reminded of Lin Que. He is supposed to have a smooth path ahead but yet he could only take part in competition below the inhuman stage, especially those that aren’t that important. We can only catch a glimpse of him occasionally. Sigh…”
“Feeling sorry for Lin Que… Didn’t you have a new male idol?” asked Brahman curiously.
“Since when did I have a new male idol? [Lost expression]” replied All The Good Names Are Taken By Dogs.
Yan Xiaoling pointed out, “Didn’t you say that the bald image of “Poison Milk Hierarch” is pretty cute?”
Without waiting for a reply, she excitedly replayed the video for this match and extracted several handsome and manly action images of Lou Cheng. After which, she got busy downloading and sorting her work.
…
In the resting room, Tu Zheng sat on the sofa. His body leaned forward, and he rested his right elbow on his thigh and supported his face with his right fist. He attentively watched the television screen, which was replaying several crucial moments of the previous match.
Ding! His phone rang. It was a message from Lu Shaofei which was just beside his room,
“Captain Tu, that move by Lou Cheng was self-created?”
They had seen him used in April during the University Martial Arts Nationals. Now that they had seen it again, they were more sure of it.
“Yeah. That’s probably the results of understanding “Titanic Starlit Skies – Absolute Frost”. That move isn’t complete. For him to come out with something new, it is really something awesome.” Tu Zheng pondered for a while before replying Lu Shaofei. “Those who practice the unique skills of Ice Sect in this generation are all seeing him as a leader. I wonder what is Wuyue Club thinking. Why didn’t they stop him from joining us?”
After clicking “send”, Tu Zheng was silent. Suddenly, he heaved a sigh.
Lou Cheng was more than what the word “Awesome” could describe!
At his current level and after having viewed the physical invulnerability moves of the Fire Sect, creating a new move wasn’t something strange. However for his newly created move to have the might of a simplified physical invulnerability move, that could be considered unbelievable!
Rumors had it that Lou Cheng’s master had done similar things while he was still in the inhuman stage in the past. He had combined the Thunder and Ice Sect elements to create a set of Tremor Punches. The killer move of it was a simplified physical invulnerability move. However, it was only similar in this aspect. This was because that killer move was mainly based on the blueprint of “Deep Slumber”, a simplified physical invulnerability move of the Ice Sect, and adding in new elements. As for Lou Cheng’s previous move, it seemed to have been developed out of nothing. At least nothing of this sort had happened among people who were below physical invulnerability stage. Therefore, these two cases couldn’t be compared directly.
Sigh. Facing this type of Heavenly Son of the era, even if my strength and realm could still overwhelm him, I’ll still feel a little depressed from time to time.
Naturally, this will also be motivation!
…
In the arena, after seeing Lin Yue fall and almost create a huge hole, Lou Cheng quickly rushed over, attempted to help him up and send him to the emergency treatment room.
He still had quite some respect for such a true martial artist.
At this moment, Lin Yue supported himself with both of his arms and stood up by himself while swaying. After wiping the blood stains off the edge of his mouth, he stuck out his thumb and said, “Awesome. You almost dismantled this set of old bones.”
Oh damn. He can still move? And even so agilely? Lou Cheng was a little dumbfounded and had forgotten what he wanted to say.
Lou Cheng could control the minute details of his body and make accurate repairs by himself. Even so, if he were to take 5 blows of Internal Explosion from someone at the same level, he would probably suffer grave injuries and be on the edge of death. Other than being sent to the emergency treatment room, he wouldn’t be able to do anything else. However, Lin Yue had taken a total of nine blows of Internal Explosion. Yet he seemed like he could still run home!
He only couldn’t withstand the moment his injuries were all dealt. Since then, he had recovered from them!
“Immortal Flesh” is really insane! He’s really a monster!
“He’s really a monster from the m78 galaxy!” Lou Cheng exclaimed!
However, no matter how tough his martial arts were, there were still shortcomings. One who practices Immortal Flesh couldn’t develop a various mystical “Force”. Only their regeneration and defensive capabilities were insanely strong.
“Fierce and relentless. Each generation is getting more and more relentless…..” Lin Yue laughed and touched his head. After bowing, he turned around and walked towards the stone steps as though he wasn’t affected at all. Initially, his footsteps were still a little staggered. Towards the stone step, he was already as steady as a rock.
Phew. I really have to experience it myself to be able to objectively understand how powerful Immortal Flesh is. If I had only watched it on video, I would have only been able to get a superficial understanding and unable to form a clear idea… Lou Cheng thought to himself. He walked off the arena with the whole crowd cheering “Lou Cheng, Lou Cheng” and back to his personal resting room.
After sharing the details of the battle with Yan Zheke, Lou Cheng collected his mind, did a self-reflection and controlled his breathing and blood flow. This was to repair and rejuvenate the injuries that had appeared after the battle with the utmost precision.
It was tough initially but got easier towards the end. After half an hour, he was even able to do it while watching the other matches.
At noon, he went to the restaurant in the Guanhai Martial Arts Stadium to fill his stomach. After which, he had a 40 minute nap. When he woke up, various aspects such as vitality, mental and physical had all returned to the peak status and he was ready for another fight.
These were the benefits of attaining the realm of “All Seeing God” and practicing the “Wholeness” Formula!
In the afternoon, he watched the battles of Tu Zheng, Lu Shaofei and his other teammates casually. In between their matches, he switched to other popular matches and fervently and excitedly discussed them with his wife.
During this process, Ann Chaoyang suddenly sent a message to report something good that happened to him. He was talking about encountering a fifth-pin inhuman. After a prolonged and intense battle, he was able to finally win by a narrow margin and did not embarrass himself by being eliminated in the first round.
Peng Leyun was in the last match that afternoon. With his “Encountering Gods In The Void, Self Reflection” realm to support, he pushed his “Taking it easy” style a little further. Luckily, he did not fall into the embarrassing situation where he lost because he took it too easy. From the start to the end, everything was firmly in his control.
“He seems to be a little stronger than me again…” Lou Cheng mumbled.
That night was Ren Li’s match in the Sky Moon Martial Arts Stadium. She demonstrated the realm of “All Seeing God” and clinched the victory without any suspense.
This made Lou Cheng feel an unknown pressure.
These two fellows are improving so quickly!
I can’t possibly let them leave me far behind after I finally catch up with them!
With his mind still highly excited, he returned to the hotel together with Tu Zheng and Lu Shaofei. For the following day, other than practicing and having his meals, Lou Cheng did not leave the room. This was because they were too many favorites for him to pay attention to. He had compiled the videos of those he would like to watch and had to go through the countless details. How could he possibly find time to walk around casually?
Yan Zheke was always enthusiastic in such things. It was as though she was participating in the Battle of the Kings. Throughout the day, she talked enthusiastically with Lou Cheng.
After the first round had ended, there was a day of break. Lou Cheng continued to stay in his hotel and focused his research only on opponents who were stronger than him. He was so busy that he lacked the time to play games.
Picking up the phone, he replied to his little fairy girl. Just when he was about to put it down, he suddenly received a notification and was pulled into a group chat.
“Want to meet up tonight?” Ann Chaoyang asked.
This time, he had learned from his previous mistake and directly created a “Linfu Eating Group”.
“Let’s do it another day. I still have tons of videos that I have not watched. Let’s decide the date after we enter the double-elimination format.” replied Peng Leyun whose nickname had been changed to “Physics Worker.”
“+1!” Ren Li seconded.
Lou Cheng took a glance at the videos to watch on his tablet and replied, “[Laughing heartily expression] What a coincidence!”
Damn it! A group of “video maniac” youths!
This living tempo remained till the evening when the organizing committee announced the face-off schedule.
From the second round of the competition onwards, some people would get a walkover win. This was to ensure that there would be exactly sixty-four members after three rounds of battles.
“I really wanted to advance directly but I also really will like to fight. I’m so conflicted…” Lou Cheng refreshed the webpage and found his name and the person he would be facing.
Sky Moon Martial Arts Stadium, Friday night, (Longhu Club) Lou Cheng vs (Daxing Temple) Zhi Tong!”
I’m finally able to witness the strength of a direct disciple of the Daxing Temple!
After half an hour, he received a message from Yan Zheke while researching into the competition videos of Zhi Tong. It was a web link to a piece of news.
Lou Cheng clicked in and took a look. Zhi Tong was stopped by an official reporter when he left his Zen room. He accepted the interview and said with both of his palms together, “Namo Amitabha. A monk doesn’t lie or boast. I really want to win against Benefactor Lou!”
The video on him ended and the reporter commented, “He also has the strength to achieve the win!”
