Martial Arts Master

Remembering the "Grand Master Battle", he glanced at the news headlines that were either hilarious or funny. Lou Cheng switched to QQ, clicked on the group for which he had blocked the message notification sound, and saw Peng Leyun and Ren Li. He and An Chaoyang were having a heated discussion.

He swiped his thumb and scrolled up the chat history. At the beginning, he saw the news link forwarded by "Wenqing". After a few minutes, Ren Li appeared and asked "very confused":

"Why am I Xi?"

"Because Kongtong Mountain is in the west..." An Chaoyang expressed his feelings with two periods that looked like nostrils.

"Really?" Ren Li looked suspicious.

Peng Leyun popped up and said with a "Conan's mouth twitching" expression:

"You didn't study geography in high school?"

Ren Li replied confidently:

"The geography book didn't say that Kongtong Mountain is in the west!"

"Really?" Peng Leyun @asked An Chaoyang.

An Chaoyang wiped his hands with cold sweat and said, "It's been more than five years since I graduated from high school. How can I still remember it clearly..."

When Lou Cheng reached this point, he couldn't help but make a "laugh out loud" expression.

Peng Leyun still refused to give up: "Lou Cheng, do you still have any impression?"

"I chose science in high school." Lou Cheng said with a wicked smile, "As for the geography exam, our school is very relaxed. As long as you don't take out the book and read it in front of the invigilator, you can do whatever you want... Even so, I’m not even eighty…”

"No way? If you can read the book, you will definitely be over 90 in the exam." For a moment, Peng Leyun doubted Lou Cheng's IQ.

He was in a daze for more than half an hour and scored equally well on his geography exam.

Lou Cheng "covered his face and sighed" and said: "Only when I entered the examination room did I realize that a small part of my geography book had been torn off by my two troublemaking cousins... Fortunately, I was surrounded by people I knew..."

"It turns out that you are always stupid." An Chaoyang sighed "thoughtfully".

There really is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname...

Thinking of the embarrassing incident during the Four Nations Competition, Lou Cheng quickly changed the subject: "Taoist priest, Ren Li, when will you arrive at Jiuqu?"

"I'm already here..." Peng Leyun waited for ten seconds before answering.

After a few seconds, Ren Li sent a link with an "angry look":

"Quick, scold him!"

Lou Cheng clicked in and saw a news article. The title was similar to what he had seen before, but the content included more analysis and predictions:

"...'King Ming' has been Zhi Hai Gang for four years and has won titles. Putting aside for the moment, Peng Leyun, Ren Li and Lou Cheng have only jumped over the dragon gate for more than three months. They are the ones who have just mastered the technique."

"It is true that at the same level, they are indeed stronger than the warriors of the same level in all aspects. If everyone jumps over the dragon gate and shows the same strength, there is no doubt that they will be respected. This is deeper and more solid. It is determined by the foundation and the more excellent and outstanding talents."

"In other words, as long as they stabilize their realm and become proficient in the techniques, they will be among the best in the third level and will not be weaker than those veteran Wai Gang who have been stagnant at this level for many years."

"Of course, every Wai Gang who can jump over the dragon gate is an outstanding person, it's just that the strongest among the strongest are the strongest. In addition, to be honest, many strong people once transformed into a 'dragon' and ascended to the 'heaven' , you will be satisfied, and you will lose your hunger for martial arts and honor. Although you still insist on training, your improvement will obviously slow down. The reason is not external, but only in your heart."

"Without mentioning this, let's get back to the topic. Through the previous analysis, we can compare with the 'Ming King' and we can get the current strength level of the three geniuses Peng, Lou and Ren. If only the third-grade strong ones participate in the Grandmaster Battle, it is not impossible for them to win. In the end, it's a pity that this is just a fantasy. Although it is not as good as when the 'King' and the 'Martial Saint' fight, many seniors who have withdrawn from the professional competition will also participate, but at least, except for the part where they are recuperating from injuries, almost all the strong people will participate. Attend."

"They have some hope of winning the second grade, and some hope of winning the first grade, but that's all. Therefore, many of the news today are just headlines, maliciously hyping hot spots. To put it bluntly, what they expect will happen in three years. Or five years from now, not now.”

"In this 'Grandmaster Battle', Lou Cheng, Ren Li and Peng Leyun will be in the top 32 at most. This will also depend on good luck."

There's nothing wrong with it... After reading it, Lou Cheng felt that the analysis was quite pertinent, so he asked doubtfully:

"What are you scolding him for?"

Ren Li was silent for a while, and then replied:

"I sent the wrong link...it's this..."

She added another piece of news, the content of which was close to a bet on how likely the three geniuses outside the Guess Sea would be eliminated in the first two days of the double-elimination tournament.

There are eighty-six Wai Gang who have registered to participate in the Grandmaster Tournament, plus the sixteen non-humans who have passed the preliminaries, a total of one hundred and two players. It is initially a double-elimination tournament. If you lose two games, you will be eliminated, until the remaining top players are left. The top thirty-two will be eliminated in a single defeat to determine the warrior who will challenge the previous "grandmaster".

This "betting post" is that Lou Cheng, Ren Li and Peng Leyun, who are new to Waigang and lack actual combat experience in this realm, will suffer two consecutive defeats and leave the "Grandmaster" battle without winning.

"Pfft, why bother competing with such a sensationalist? Winning the game is the best way to fight back." Lou Chenghun, who has experienced many battles in the field of public opinion, advised nonchalantly.

"Yeah." Ren Li nodded "frequently", "Grandstanding is a good word, I'll reply to them!"

...Do you understand what I mean... Lou Cheng was speechless for a moment and could only reply with a "dull" expression.

"..." Peng Leyun didn't know whether he was in a daze and accidentally touched the mobile phone, but he still had the same mood.

An Chaoyang, on the other hand, asked calmly:

"Didn't you say that you never register an account so as not to quarrel with others?"

"My little niece lent me her cell phone!" Ren Li answered calmly.

Seeing her high fighting spirit, Lou Cheng changed the topic again:

"Ren Li, I'm going to Jiuqu tomorrow, how about you? Let the three of us get together before the game?"

Peng Leyun was the first to reply, smiling slightly:

"How about we get together after we've all finished the game. Who has the highest ranking, who lasts longer, and who gets the treat?"

"Okay!" "Okay!" Lou Cheng and Ren Li responded affirmatively almost at the same time.

Their fighting spirit was stimulated even more by this small bet.

An Chaoyang smiled bitterly: "I'm not even qualified to treat guests..."

His mentality is actually quite good, because he is just twenty-four and a half years old and already has the strength of the fourth level. He has enough time and a lot of hope to jump over the dragon gate, but no one can tell how long it will take.

I've decided on this order! After temporarily quitting the group, Lou Cheng teased himself and shared the incident with Yan Zheke.

The girl responded with a "pass the microphone" expression:

"Classmate Lou Cheng, what are your goals and ideas for this 'Grandmaster Battle'?"

"Well, the main thing is to see the world." Lou Cheng replied modestly.

In addition to this relatively peaceful attitude, he also has feelings of emotion and yearning:

Those strong men you have seen since childhood, those masters you are familiar with, I have finally joined you! I finally have a chance to challenge you!

"Martial Saint" Qian Donglou, "Sword King" Wu Qiao, "Kilin" Dong Baxian, "Lion King" Shang Youde, "Gun King" Huang Ke, "Clown" Gu Jianxi, "Sword of the God" has a long road, "Evening Light" Liang Yifan... famous names flashed through Lou Cheng's mind, making him feel like his blood was boiling.

…………

The next morning, after the training was completed, Lou Cheng, Guo Jie and Long Zhen, led by "Luo Queen" Ning Zitong, arrived at the airport, boarded the club's business plane and flew straight to Jiuqu. Injured, he chose to give up the current Grandmaster Battle, but he still followed and fulfilled his duties as a coach.

Outside the window, there is a sea of ​​white clouds, and bumps occur from time to time, but for the strong people in Waigang, such impact is almost negligible.

The journey went smoothly, and they arrived at Jiuqu City in the middle of the country at noon and boarded several commercial vehicles arranged by the foreign affairs team.

The hotel lobby was greeted by fans as always. Lou Cheng and others signed their names, and with the help of Ouman and other assistants, they got their room cards and entered the elevator.

"There is a pre-game dinner the day after tomorrow, don't forget it." Ning Zitong warned him as he was going up in the elevator. He turned to look at Lou Cheng and said with a smile, "You have a high probability of playing in the opening game."

"Ah?" Lou Cheng looked back confused.

As one of so many contestants, what are the odds of being better in the draw?

Ning Zitong smiled and explained:

"You three are very popular and topical. The organizing committee plans to select one of you to play in the opening match."

One-third probability... This is indeed not low... Lou Cheng couldn't help but twitch his lips.
