"Liu Xin, Binhe Branch of Songcheng Police Department..."

…

"They all seem pretty strong." After browsing through them, Lou Cheng said with a smile, without any embarrassment between his eyebrows.

…………

At the other service desk in Hall 1, the strong and sturdy Zhao Baosen also received the grouping information.

He took a closer look, his eyes suddenly solidified, and he blurted out:

"Loucheng!"

Lou Cheng of Songda Martial Arts Club!

…………

Old God Liu Xin, who had changed out of his police uniform, did not rush to read the group information after receiving it. After slowly wandering to a quiet place, he picked up the paper and glanced at it habitually.

"Lou Cheng, Songcheng University Martial Arts Club..."

Wow, Liu Xin's fingers holding the edge of the paper became like iron hooks.

…………

"Zhao Baosen practices Baguazhang, and also practices Crane Shape..." Yan Zheke said in a clear and soft voice.

Lou Cheng didn't dare to be careless, so as not to capsize in the gutter, he discussed it seriously with his girlfriend.

At this moment, he heard the radio calling his name:

"Please ask contestant Lou Cheng from the Songcheng University Martial Arts Club to come to the information desk."

Huh? Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke looked at each other, both looking confused.

Putting away their mobile phones, the two of them left their location and found the nearest service desk.

"Hello, I'm Lou Cheng from Songda Martial Arts Club. What can I do for you?" Lou Cheng asked politely.

The staff member was a girl with a round face. She took a deep look at Lou Cheng and said:

"Your opponent in this morning's match has forfeited."

Abstaining? Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, he heard the staff continue:

"Your opponents for the afternoon and evening also abstained!"

…………

In the corner of the stands in Hall 1, Zhao Baosen covered his face with his hands and let out a long sigh.

As a warrior, surrendering to a powerful enemy without a fight is really humiliating and depressing, but after careful consideration, he believes that this is the best choice for himself.

Everyone has seen how strong Lou Cheng of the Songcheng University Martial Arts Club is. They all know that he is also a leader in the ninth level of professionalism. They all agree that he has locked in a passing quota and is an amateur who has not yet entered the professional threshold.

Facing him, you can imagine how low the odds of winning are!

In a high-density and high-intensity event, fighting against such a strong opponent with almost no hope is meaningless except wasting time and energy. You even have to risk minor injuries and residual concussion effects. In this case

, giving up strategically, saving some energy, and competing with the players behind for second place is the most rational and wise decision!

At almost the same time, several warriors who had obtained the group information all came up with similar thoughts. With Lou Cheng's abnormal physical strength, it would not have any impact whether he had gone through hard battles before, so he might as well make a decision as soon as possible.

Completely cut off the escape route to carry out a last-ditch battle!

…………

Abstaining? It’s hard for Lou Cheng to describe his current mood. It would definitely be satisfying to win without a fight, but he came here after all the hard work and had a serious discussion for a while, but his opponent gave up on the spot, leaving him with enough strength.

When the fist falls into the empty space, it is inevitable that I feel a little regretful and unhappy.

"Did they give up all the games, or just the game against me?" he asked subconsciously.

He knew that it was very common for players to abstain from the professional ninth-level competition, but this was usually concentrated in the second week of the schedule. Some players would be injured due to high-density battles, and some would be injured due to the first week of competition.

After losing more than three games, I felt that there was no hope and I was too lazy to waste time trying again.

The staff member said with a professional smile:

"I just gave up the game with you..."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly glanced at the new message that popped up on the computer screen in front of her. She suddenly looked surprised and looked at Lou Cheng with a monster-like look:

"You, your opponent in tomorrow's three games also abstained..."

What is this?

I have been working in the martial arts club for three years, and this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. Just saying my name can make a lot of martial artists give up automatically!

Yan Zheke's eyes were filled with anticipation when he heard this. At this moment, he couldn't help but chuckled: "Chengzi, I suddenly remembered two sentences I read before."

"What are you talking about?" Lou Cheng suppressed his slight disappointment and asked curiously.

"'Let the enemy flee' and 'The name of so-and-so can stop children from crying at night.'" Yan Zheke replied with a smile.

Lou Cheng breathed out, dumbfounded:

"I seem to have such a feeling, but I won, and I'm still a little uncomfortable..."

He paused, looked at the girl and said, "Where should we go next?"

Yan Zheke answered seriously and righteously:

"Of course it's back to the martial arts club for special training!"

"Ah..." Lou Cheng looked blank.

Yan Zheke chuckled:

"Since you don't want to go back, then coach Ben will invite you on a date~"

In short, I won’t go to the hotel with you to rest, and you don’t need to rest!

"Okay!" Lou Cheng said from dullness to joy.

And he felt a little heartbroken, because he had to charge a part of the money to cancel the reserved room... Those guys had nothing to give up!

Although he is about to receive 20,000 yuan, he has experienced hard times and can still save money and be generous to his girlfriend.

After confirming the itinerary, he turned to the staff and asked:

"Can you tell me in advance whether my opponent will forfeit next week's game?"

Save yourself another wasted trip on Saturday!

Although this can give her more time to date Ke Xiaoke, I feel guilty for always asking her to take leave, which delays her martial arts and studies. There is no need for pressure from the Queen Mother.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do. Someone has to give up before we can notify you, right?" the round-faced girl replied aggrievedly.

Next week, although the number of people who abstain will increase, Lou Cheng may not face opponents who are willing to challenge him in the group stage. After all, at the last moment, some people may be one win away from qualifying, and some people may not be able to qualify by one win.

If there is no hope of qualifying, I am willing to fight against strong enemies to gain experience.

"Okay." Lou Cheng could only accept this reality helplessly, a reality that others yearned for.

…………

On the Saturday of the last week of April, Lou Cheng received a notice in advance that his opponents in the morning and evening had abstained, so he attended the martial arts club's special training before heading to the competition venue. He waited for nearly two hours and spent more than a minute.

Zhong, easily defeated a challenger.

The next morning, his opponent had already given up due to injuries from the previous match, so he did the same low-intensity training before he and Yan Zheke rushed to Hall 1 of the Songcheng Martial Arts Stadium to wait for the result of the draw.

If he fights again, he will be a certified ninth-level professional!

While waiting, they saw Chen Changhua who couldn't hide his fatigue.

"Are you okay?" Lou Cheng asked. He had congratulated his soon-to-be former president in the morning for qualifying as second in the group.

Chen Changhua breathed out, his expression solemn as never before:

"You have to hold back even if something happens!"

"Besides, if you look at the other people, most of them are in similar condition to me. If they are not lucky, they will be able to live up to the hard training for more than half a year..."

Sensing Chen Changhua's seriousness and expectation, Lou Cheng couldn't say anything else, so as not to affect others' mood, so he withdrew his gaze, held Yan Zheke's palm, looked at the big screen, and waited for it to scroll out the results of the lottery.

The draw in the afternoon is conducted between groups of ten, and the same group avoids.

After a while, a row of lines was displayed, and Yan Zheke whispered Lou Cheng's part:

"Songda Martial Arts Club Lou Cheng versus Hongluo Martial Arts Club Pan Chengyun..."

Pan Chengyun? Lou Cheng smiled slightly, feeling it was a coincidence.

…………

"Songda Martial Arts Club Lou Cheng versus Hongluo Martial Arts Club Pan Chengyun..."

In the corner next to him, Pan Chengyun looked at the match list and his expression suddenly turned bad.

After trying so hard to qualify from the group stage, I bumped into this guy head-on!

ps: Two chapters combined into one, please vote for me. I will go home after the meeting today and will resume the third update tomorrow!
Chapter completed!
