Since Lou Cheng was still weak as if he hadn't recovered from a severe illness completely, Yan Zheke forced him to relax in his dorm.
He sniffed and opened the door, finding Old Qiu, Qiu Zhigao, was still there.
"Haven't you gone for individual study?" Lou Cheng asked in surprise while putting down his down jacket and thermos cup.
Pigs might fly if Old Qiu abandoned his pet phrase as "make your whole day's plan in the morning."
Staring at the computer screen while sliding the mouse constantly, Qiu Zhigao replied without looking back.
"I'm waiting for the ticket!"
"For what?" Lou Cheng laughed as he opened the wardrobe, folded his down jacket and tucked it into the corner.
"The ticket for Mo Qianting's vocal concert! There's going to be a scramble for it at half past nine!" Qiu Zhigao stared fixedly at the webpage.
Old Qiu had been looking for a girlfriend as soon as he entered college. While the girls feeling well disposed towards him all failed to meet his criteria, those attractive ones were not interested in him at all. So he had to remain single while devoting all his energy to individual study and being an idolater.
Mo Qianting? Lou Cheng slightly twisted his lips and smiled. "Where's the vocal concert?"
Since he came back to Xing province from Moshang, this junior niece Mo hadn't contacted him as frequently as before except sending a message occasionally to show her existence. For Lou Cheng it was indeed a good news for he didn't have enough energy to deal with other girls.
"In Songcheng, don't you know it? It was said officially several days ago that in November she would have a vocal concert in Songcheng! I can't miss it!" Old Qiu replied excitedly, "time is up, time is up…"
"Songcheng…" Lou Cheng frowned and soon beamed again.
Nothing serious. It occurred to Lou Cheng that the martial arts competition among universities was also in November, in which most of Songcheng University's matches were away because of their previous performance. So Lou Cheng would scarcely be at Songcheng on weekends.
It would perfectly prevent him from encountering Mo Qianting!
-- According to his master, Lin Que and he would take turns to be the key player in the first half of district contest to train the substitutes.
"Of course, or why do I bother to wait for booking the ticket? What a chance it is!" Saying like this, Old Qiu suddenly felt blue, "That beast intends to buy second-hand ticket at high price!"
"If you failed this time, will you also buy second-hand ticket?" Lou Cheng asked with a smile, and then climbed onto the bed to bury himself in the quilt.
Old Qiu was left gnashing the teeth in anger.
"Of course! It just requires me to save money for several days!"
It's true love! Lou Cheng said to himself.
Old Qiu's economic condition was not optimistic just like Lou Cheng's before he came into contact with martial arts. As a student with no stable income, he was still relying on his parents.
So he had no choice but to scant himself in food.
In order not to disturb Old Qiu, Lou Cheng stopped talking and took out his cellphone, finding a new photo sent from Yan Zheke, in which her dorm was under a great house cleaning.
Smiling unconsciously, Lou Cheng hurried to type a praise for his fairy.
While the girl was busy cleaning without replying him, Lou Cheng logged in Longhu Club's forum to look through the news about the top professional competitions and those titled Mighty Ones like Dragon King.
As a fighter who had set physical invulnerability as his goal, Lou Cheng focused on it not only for his interest but also because it was closely related to him!
Since there were still not enough fans in his forum, it would hardly focus on other fighters and thus couldn't offer him such kinds of news.
"Could some experts tell me which house layout is better?" The first post came into Lou Cheng's eyes reminded him of his mom.
One month had passed after she announced the decision to buy a new house, but obviously she hadn't found the house yet and even widened the search instead of merely focusing on those near their old house.
What a bore… Luckily I have transferred the 400 thousand to her… Complaining about his mom silently, Lou Cheng began to account his deposit.
On the one hand, since his later one-on-one instruction fee had increased to three thousand per hour, the enthusiastic crowd gradually calmed down and he only earned forty thousand yuan this time. On the other hand, the part-time job brought him twenty thousand yuan, so the balance in his account now was around 290 thousand after the deduction of other expenditures and Lou Cheng needn't worry about money temporarily.
Going through that post, he kept all the useful information in mind to call and guide his mom tonight.
When Lou Cheng finally left the post, he saw another hot one sent by Unparalleled Dragon King:
"The competition between two heavenly sons of our time is to be on, Lou Cheng VS Peng Leyun!"
Er… There were still two months to go before the opening ceremony of the University Martial Arts Competition and at least three months before their match with Shanbei, so why did they pay attention to it so early? This topic had even become hot in such a popular forum as Longhu Club's! Lou Cheng took a deep breath.
At this moment, Old Qiu jumped out and shouted cheerfully,
"I got the ticket! I got the ticket!"
In the male dormitory area of Shanbei University.
Xu Wannian, the Martial Arts Club manager was standing outside the dormitory building looking through the news of "Heavenly Sones Competition" forwarded by someone.
I'm really looking forward to it! He said to himself and then called Peng Leyun.
"Junior brother Peng, hurry down! The training's going to start and we're all waiting for you!"
"Okay!" Peng Leyun answered concisely.
Before the sound of Peng Leyun's voice had died away, Xu Wannian saw a window in the fifth floor burst open and a figure jump down through it.
"There he goes again…" While Xu Wannian was sighing with hands covered his face, he heard the freshmen's scream.
"Someone jumped off a building!"
"Someone jumped off a building!"
All of a sudden, the figure in midair slightly expanded as he opened both arms like an eagle and glided gracefully before he landed.
The moment he stepped onto the ground, there seemed to be a small earthquake.
"Let's go." Peng Leyun rebound to Xu Wannian's side and greeted him with a smile.
Taking a glance at where he landed, Xu Wannian found there was no obvious trace left, which made him tunned with worship of this junior brother.
He was getting more and more powerful!
There was dead silence. All the freshmen around seemed as if they had seen a monster.
At this moment, the supervisor of dorm rushed out and yelled,
"Peng Leyun! Why didn't you use staircases again!"
"What if you scared someone?"
Instead of acting as an elegant but indifferent master, Peng Leyun shrugged and put on an embarrassed smile. "I was thinking about a problem, very difficult, and thus took a shortcut unconsciously."
A shortcut? All the freshmen around widely opened their mouth in astonishment.
Xu Wannian could barely keep the smile off of his face as he apologized to the supervisor of the dorm.
"I'll keep an eye on him!"
While saying like this, he hurried to leave the "crime scene" with Peng Leyun.
"What do you think of the post?" He handed over the cellphone without mentioning what had just happened since he was quite used to that.
Peng Leyun looked through it and then laughed.
"Quite interesting. Everything will be okay as long as you won't encounter Lou Cheng."
"Yeah, the idea of my supernatural ability might be subdued by him was worrying me. Luckily, Fang also has Big Dan now." Xu Wannian signed.
As his Corvine Mouth supernatural ability had been enhanced gradually, he got an excellent chance to defeat an eighth-pin or even seventh-pin warrior to some extent. However, once his supernatural ability was subdued, his professional-ninth-pin body condition was absolutely unable to resist the attack from dan-stage warrior.
Saying like this, he couldn't help gossiping," Junior brother Peng, when can you step across the threshold of inhuman level? I heard that Ren Li was soon to be of the sixth pin, and Lou Cheng had gotten within a little distance of her."
The championship of the upcoming Martial Arts Competition must be fierce. But everything would be easier if his junior brother could step into a higher level.
As for whether Ren Li and Lou Cheng would also reach the inhuman level in the next session, it was nothing of his concern since he would soon graduate from university!
Upturning his clean face to look at the cloud with clear eyes, Peng Leyun murmured to himself,
"When…"
As a blank look gradually occupied his face, he loosed himself to walk unconsciously, but he was able to avoid any obstacles like trees, pebbles, and students.
Sigh, junior brother Peng was again in a trance, even when he was walking…" Xu Wannian sighed and turned his thought from the Martial Arts Competition to the red-light district of Pingjiang as well as the girls there.
Pulling down his collarband, Xu Wangnian felt his body heating up.
In the only campus of Sanjiang.
Qu Hui, who wore a white shirt today, was floating in his Martial Arts Club Office at about 30 cm off the ground.
Looking at the group in front of him, he put on a faint smile. "Well, any opinions towards these discussions?"
All the leading players and substitutes of the Martial Arts Club remained silent with head dropped as if they had done something wrong and dared not to say anything.
"Luo Haizhe, you say first." Qu Hui had the qualification to look down on others since he was also the Martial Arts Club's coach.
Luo Haizhe was a huge young man, who was no longer childlike but still looked simple and honest. He rubbed his half-bald head and replied,
"Those beasts of Songcheng University are growing so fast. Remember they just had walk-on parts in last year's competition? This year there were two dan-stage warriors in them and Lou Cheng is even near the seventh pin."
It was just like a dream!
Of course, there were talents and mighty ones in the university martial arts circle, dan-stage warriors were still scarcely to be seen in most schools considering the population of students, after all, Dan stage was the real entry-level of martial arts. Though Sanjiang was a famous university with several professional-ninth-pin warriors in the previous sessions, no graduate of it could own his or her Big Dan and let Qi arise from within body!
So how difficult reaching Dan stage was!
Considering the fact that two students of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club reached Dan stage within one year, didn't the other schools feel shame?
"It was because of their talent and we could do nothing with it however we envy them." Qu Hui crossed his arms and said insincerely, and the his facial expression suddenly changed, "Haizhe, you are actually talented. Even if you couldn't be Peng Leyun, Ren Li, Lou Cheng or Lin Que's match and couldn't reach the inhuman level, you are sure to step into the Dan stage. But look at yourself now, what a playboy you are! You'd better keep away from your evil associates!"
"Okay." Lou Haizhe dropped his head.
It was his greatest shortcoming that he was unable to refuse anyone.
After scolding Luo Haizhe, Qu Hui turned his gaze to another team member and frowned.
"Be careful. You are also likely to reach the Dan stage, don't you want to take a step further before graduation? Then you'll have a good life in the future."
Yin Xiangxi put on a wry smile. "We've known each other for more than three years and you know my character."
He was famous for his radical fighting style as keeping attacking without any defensive play unless it was necessary.
Because of this shortcoming, he had been injured several times in the recent years even if the referees had stopped him in time. His talent was also wasted on his being unable to keep practicing martial arts.
They were all troublemakers… Qu Hui stared at the cellphone on the table without saying more to them.
In the discussion of this division, they just mentioned Shanbei and Songcheng University, while the fighters they were interested in were Peng Leyun, Fang Zhirong, Lou Cheng and Lin Que, which meant they had ignored entirely Sanjiang College! They had ignored Qu Hui!
Sorry, I've also reached the Dan stage and improved my supernatural ability!
Shanbei, Songcheng University, just wait for my surprise!
