The match was about to begin. In the visiting team's locker room, Geezer Shi clapped his hands to wake his resting fighters.

"It's about time. Let's get started. When we fight against Shanbei, we have to get the misers in our school to book a hotel and pay for it and arrive there one day earlier. We should never be exhausted like this again."

Actually, their Martial Arts Club had a budget, and Geezer Shi would not miss the subsidies for the rightful cause. Particularly, he could excite President and join him for a drink.

From the group competition, Songcheng University Martial Arts Club who had not gained favorable performance in the last year would have to fight on its opponents' ground, even in its quarterfinals. Li Liantong, Zong Yanru and others felt deeply regretted to lose the chance to witness the victory in the martial arts arena of Songcheng University and to join the crowd to outcry.

Therefore, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke were energized when they chatted with each other, and promised to fight better to win more opportunities for matches in their home ground the next year.

"Coach Shi, I am afraid that the school would only pay for the hostel." said Cai Zongming, warming up and teasing.

"How dare it!" Geezer Shi, "Are we beggars or what? Either they can turn us down, or pay the bill."

As they talked, Li Xiaowen stepped in, smiling, "Coach Shi, the supervisor is asking for the list."

"Alright." Geezer Shi took a look at Lou Cheng and his teammates, saying, "We cannot be the Shipwreck in a Ditch, right? Both Lou Cheng and Lin Que are fighting today."

At this point, Lou Cheng cannot stop but look at Lin Que, finding his Brother-in-law was looking at him as well. They both scented each other's fighting will.

Since this semester, for the first time the two leading figures of Martial Arts Club would fight as a team!

Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke exchanged a smile with each other's eyes as they reached a mutual understanding. They had both expected the arrangement, while Li Mao, Lin Hua and others were relaxing a little bit yet more determined.

They worried that Coach Shi would go headstrong as deploying a substitute at this critical point while saving the main forces.

"However," said Geezer Shi, "Shannan was no formidable opponent. We still need to accumulate more combat experience. Here it is, you would be the last to fight. Otherwise, your teammates would be bored watching, right?"

The locker room exploded in roars of laughter. Everyone was aware of Lou Cheng's incredible physical power, and they were excited.

"As you wish, master!" Lou Cheng answered joyfully.

After he became an formal apprentice, Lou Cheng was entitled to call Old Shi master in public.

"Another one. Let us stick to the principle of taking turns. Sun Jian, you are the first." Without hesitation, Shi Jianguo pointed the most experienced fighter in Martial Arts Club.

With the support of Lin Que and Lou Cheng, Sun Jian had no pressure being their vanguard, so he laughed,

"I can finally enter the court today!"

Lou Cheng turned his head to hide his laughter. It was in preliminaries when Sun Jian, the senior brother had been made a figure of fun and he still remembered!

Yan Zheke also smiled and winked at his boyfriend as a hint that it was all your fault!

She was excited. Although she was in good condition, it seemed she might not be on the court today.

Li Xiaowen, standing beside them, wrote down the list swiftly, "Sun Jian, Lin Que, Lou Cheng".

When the crowd calmed down, Geezer Shi waved his hand, "As for substitutes let us follow the old rules: Li Mao, Cai Zongming, Lin Hua".

After his announcement, Geezer Shi looked at He Zi and Wang Dali, "Neither of you may enter the field this semester. Feel free to look around, gain some experience, and concentrate on your Ranking Event."

"Yes, Coach Shi!" Both of them were fresh and honored, answered with high resolve.

Of course, He Zi was interested in becoming a reporter in the field.

The first team and substitutes were confirmed. Li Xiaowen turned around and headed to submit the list.

When the door of the locker room opened, Lou Cheng found the arena was crammed with cheering students, with few seats left.

"The fans of martial arts in Shannan are passionate..." Lou Cheng was impressed. The scene reminded him of the daughter of the taxi driver.

She must be one student among the crowd, attracting no attention. However, as many little drops make an ocean, every single viewer contributed to the lively atmosphere that made a fighter like him deeply touched and inspired.

"Let's get started." Geezer Shi waved his hand and coughed.

The gate was opened. The arena of martial arts of Shannan University greeted the eyes of Lou Cheng, Yan Zheke and others.

The audience held huge banners bearing the slogan:

"Stand together through storm and stress!"

Win or lose, we will stand together through storm and stress!

As the fighters of Martial Arts Club of Songcheng University came in, one side of the grandstand burst an outcry:

"Shannan University!"

The audience on another side of grandstand shouted loudly in response:

"We will never give in!"

The audience made a sound so loud that any fighter with weak mentality would be shivering and could not bring the potential into full play.

However, most of the members in Martial Arts Club were old hands. After experiencing the home ground in Yimo - a hell on earth, they were not terrified by the audience here.

As waves of cheering quieted down, the referee mounted on the stage, while the first match was announced in the loudspeaker:

"From Martial Arts Club of Songcheng University - Sun Jian!"

"From Martial Arts Club of Shannan University ..."

The broadcaster paused deliberately, giving some time to the audience to respond, and then he raised his voice:

"Lin Xiaozhi!"

"Lin Xiaozhi!" The audience answered with extreme passion. It seemed Shannan were the team gaining the upper hand, instead of a hopeless one in public opinion.

"Lin Xiaozhi..." Lou Cheng seemed lost in thought.

He shared a view with Ke that, regardless of supernatural ability, Lin Xiaozhi was better than Mu Yu regarding martial arts, and Lin stood a good chance of getting into Dan stage!

"I had a feeling that Sun, our senior brother would hit a bad patch..." Yan Zheke whispered in Lou's ear, suppressing laughter.

"Do not say that...It would be helpful for Sun before he becomes a professional to witness the leading fighter making an all-out effort." Lou Cheng answered earnestly and then said with a teasing tone,"Anyhow, his opponent is not Mu Yu, is he?"

Sun Jian did not hear their discussion. He gave fist bumps with his teammates and then strode to the stage, standing on the right side of the referee. He found that Lin Xiaozhi was taking off her beads and cross, handing them over to the supervisor.

So the story goes... Sun sighed with emotion, and widened his eyes because Lin Xiaozhi has not done yet!

She took out a small Tantra bell from her pocket, rolled up her trouser legs, unlashed a red string with strange characters on it, and drew out a lucky star from her coiled hair...

Holy, what else does she hide ...? She was quite a fighter into metaphysics. Sun Jian was at loss whether to cry or to laugh.

After a while, Lin Xiaozhi was all set. Before stepping on the stage, she urged the supervisor again, "Sir, please look after my stuff. I had a feeling our team leader will outperform himself tonight! I do not want to be out of luck ..."

She mumbled into silence, and moved in front of Sun Jian, showing her apology with a smile.

The referee opened his lips, announcing the greeting ceremony begins.

"May I ask are they working?" Sun Jian yielded to curiosity.

He did not mean to stimulate his rival because he'd like to behave with manner before a lady.

Lin Xiaozhi nodded sincerely:

"They are indeed!"

"I have tested myself. Our team leader would use the boomerang on me 7 or 8 cases our of 10 if I did not wear them; now 4 at most."

"I used to believe in science but now I'm more into metaphysics."

"It seemed an unbearable story to me." Sun Jian felt pity for her and replied.

Lin Xiaozhi opened her mouth as if she were about to tell her suffering. However, she heaved a sigh:

"Alas ..."

Sun Jian made no more comment so as not to get any lousy luck. Lin Xiaozhi spent every minute on fitting in without all the amulets.

Until the audience settled down, the referee raised his right hand and the match began:

"Begin now!"

Lin Xiaozhi's back curved into a bow. Her muscles and bones were elastic and suddenly she bounced forward as an elegant yet dangerous cheetah. Sun Jian barely had time to react.

Instead of drawing back, Sun Jian went forward. Most of the audience were stupefied. Sun dashed to the powerful opponent as if he decided to finish off her face to face.

They were about to ram into each other. At this point, Sun Jian stamped his right foot hard on the ground, enforcing himself in another direction and moving quickly to the flank of Lin Xiaozhi.

That was the Catapulting Movement of modern Xingyi!

Crack! Sun Jian drew up straight, moving shoulders and waving arms. It was his best Forward Punch in recent matches. He tried to take the upper hand and leave no opportunity that can be exploited by Lin.

Lin Xiaozhi failed to catch him, but she secured her position and maintained balance by adjusting her spine immediately.

And then she swang her left arm backward violently.

Bang!

Sun Jian stepped back, letting go some of the force and drawing support from Lin's momentum. Sun lept forward a little. There he went with the Half-step Burst Fist!

The Brutal Blizzard was blowing harder!

Lin Xiaozhi kept a straight face and took a deep breath. And then her face flushed a little bit and her temples began to swell up. She swayed her body, striking the Modern Blast Punch.

Pop!

Her fist was trembling in the air as if it were influenced by the wind.

Bang! Fists encountering caused a great thunder. Sun Jian was dazzled and knocked out by that blast!

His Qi and blood were rolling, and internal organs suffering. His muscles and bones were shaking so hard that he could not put forth any strength.

Lin Xiaozhi took this occasion to attack. Her Eagle Claw stretched out, hanging in front of Sun Jian's throat.

"The first round: Lin Xiaozhi wins!" The referee declared.

"Tremor Punch?" Yan Zheke stood up, murmured to herself, and unwittingly caught a glimpse of her boyfriend.

"Yep." Lou Cheng nodded.

It was Lin Xiaozhi's Modern Blast Punch that brought about the Tremor force!

And that was something new she had never shown!

Li Mao and others were astounded. The poker-faced Lin Que got up and flung his clothes on the ground!
