Wu Wei laughed when hearing Lou Cheng's answer. "You need no hurry. All of your families and friends, wherever they are, must be seeing the game broadcast as long as they are free. So you can as well share the joy with them at present."
"That's different, for I'll be too embarrassed to say something." Lou Cheng made a joke through self-deprecation.
Actually, they were too private and sugared to be said in public…
Wu Wei almost lost control of her laughter and made great effort to stop it. " All right then, I won't ask you to say something to them. The first question, all is known to all, Force Concentration would immediately rebound with an outbreak of force once it is completed unless the user himself had reached the physical-invulnerability state. However, you were able to maintain the state of Force Concentration for two to three seconds just now, right? It's not in accord with our common sense, so how did you make it?"
It was the key questions emphasized several times by those staffs in the studio.
Lou Cheng had already prepared for it, so he smiled and said, "Aren't ice and blaze contradict to each other? But both ice and blaze supernatural abilities exist in my body and they are always in balance. My Force Concentration was actually based on them so it could last for a longer time. As for more details, not only couldn't they explained with brief words, but also they are my private secret on martial arts."
This explanation was the same as what he gave to Yan Zheke, which was more detailed with the law of the unity of opposites, the theory of rotational balance, etc.
"The balance of ice and blaze supernatural abilities…" In the studio of Xing province satellite TV, Yu Hong repeated Lou Cheng's words as if it reminded him of something and immediately eliminated his bewilderment.
"The balance of ice and blaze supernatural abilities…" Old Shi scoffed at his explanation in front of the TV.
It seemed that his scamp disciple had applied Longhu Immortal's method, which was "forming a Taiji Bagua within one's body with ice and blame as yin and yang to balance his condensed Dan", into the process of Force Concentration. This was something quite unique.
So the brat did have some talent…
"Oh, so that's the way it is," Wu Wei acted as if seeing light suddenly, "the second question, what was your last unique skill that stunned Qiu Lin in an instant? Was it a simplified physical-invulnerability movement? But you hadn't taken any pre-actions and we were all taken by surprise."
"Because I haven't totally mastered it." Lou Cheng replied with self-deprecating humor, "even a simplified physical-invulnerability move is too difficult and complex for me to apply in actual combat at present. So I had to simplify it according to my condition as grasping the trunk and ignoring the other details."
As a variant version, his Severe Warning had mixed the visualization method base on the theory of "unity of opposites", whose effect tended to be freezing.
"A simplified Simplified Physical Invulnerable Move?" Wu Wei asked in reply with humor.
"Somewhat." Lou Cheng put on a gentle smile without defending for himself since he's better to play the fool at present.
"The second question, what did you talk with Qiu Lin during the communication time? You seldom exchange ideas with opponents, right? Were you making a psychological attack then?" Wu Wei smiled.
"Just a casual chat. We shall just compete regarding kung fu instead of tongue." Lou Cheng kept smiling.
He didn't mention what Qiu Lin had said at all, so no one knew whether he was telling the truth or not. Since he would encounter the top-3 fighters sooner or later, what he need to do was just handle them.
"Yeah." Seeing the arena and been cleaned for some stars' performance, Wu Wei ended the interview, "Lou Cheng, thanks for your coordination. Since you have entered the top 8 and is within a whisker of the top 4, may your wish come true."
"Thank you." Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
As a dedicated reporter who was good at making the best use of limited time, Wu Wei blocked Qiu Lin's path as soon as she left Lou Cheng, while the poor girl had just recovered from the shock.
"Qiu Lin, what do you think of the match?"
Qiu Lin touched her cold face and put on a wry smile, "Just before the referee announced the result, I still believed that I would be the winner."
She had never expected to be defeated by a single attack…
"What was your feeling at that moment? Just after that blow struck you?" Wu Wei raised another question that most of the audience wanted to ask.
Qiu Lin thought for a while, and then told the truth half-jokingly,
"My feeling? I was frozen then…"
"So the coldness lowered your IQ? Sure enough, it was a physical-invulnerability move related to Ice Sect Force." Wu Wei said with relief, "then what did you talk with Lou Cheng during communication time?"
Qiu Lin curled her thin lips and said, "I made up a story to scare him but failed."
"What was it?" Wu Wei asked curiously.
Recalling her failure, Qiu Lin gnashed the teeth in anger.
"That's a secret!"
"All right." Wu Wei gave her a professional smile," thanks for your coordination. We all think you performed very well, like a powerful Buddha's warrior attendant."
"I personally dislike this simile…" said Qiu Lin with the corners of her mouth twitching.
In the TV station, a leader slapped his thigh and said,
"Let's call them Six Jinggang (Buddha's warrior attendant) and Eight Little Immortal! As for the number four, what noun could follow it?"
...
"No, I've just defeated such a tough opponent and won an important match, so at first I want to share it with someone most important to me, er, share it with my families and friends…"
Yan Zheke was watching Lou Cheng's interview with earphone. When hearing this word, she immediately acted as if she was disgusted with it, but her heart was actually softened in an instant. Smiling to show her dimples, the girl's eyes soon turned into two shimmering lakes reflecting the starlight.
When Lou Cheng finished the interview and got back to his private restroom, Yan Zheke immediately sat straight while looking around carefully.
She was in the VIP airport lounge for the first-class cabin, and there were not many people here. She occupied a corner with a small round glass coffee table before her, while the sofa in front of her was empty.
As soon as she moved the tablet computer to the coffee table, her cell phone began to play Cheng's exclusive ring.
The corner of Yan Zheke's lips immediately curled up as she unplugged the earphone and answered the call, her voice softened unconsciously.
"Hello, Cheng?"
The idiot called her first time as expected~
Lou Cheng's heart quivered as he heard the girl's soft voice. Standing up from the sofa, he smiled and replied,
"I had almost lost the game."
"Was that possible? Though it was breathtaking, I believed that everything was always in your hands." Yan Zheke said in surprise.
Lou Cheng explained with a smile, "Qiu Lin was too self-confident and even arrogant. If she had made the most of Lotus Step and Buddha Voice, I would have suffered a lot in the fight. Thanks for Coach Yan's blessing, she didn't make the right choice and wasted her great strength!"
"Pu… Are you praising me by all means?" Yan Zheke burst out laughing with curled eyebrows and eyes.
What a surprise that Cheng had learned to please a girl!
"I'm telling the truth! When that reporter asked me to share my joy with someone just now, I felt an urge to express gratitude to Coach Yan for her instruction behind all my achievements, and also for her efforts in all these days." Lou Cheng smiled with a lowered voice.
"You're so disgusting!" Yan Zheke covered her mouth with one hand while her body was trembling with laughter.
Curling the corner of his lips, Lou Cheng echoed Yan Zheke's words occasionally while waiting patiently for the girl to stop laughing herself.
After a dozen of seconds, they both calmed down without saying anything. They were just listening to each other's breath in silence as if feeling the lover's heart.
As their emotion was being brewed along with the fast-spreading quiet atmosphere, Lou Cheng finally opened his mouth.
"Ke, what's your flight time? When will it arrive?"
"Five past ten, and it'll arrive at around one o'clock." Yan Zheke's voice was faint since she was still immersed in the atmosphere just now.
"One o'clock am? It's unsafe in the midnight." Lou Cheng was concerned.
"Gu Shuang will pick me up. Go to sleep in time to get sufficient rest since you still have a top-8 competition tomorrow, do you understand? Or I'll leave you alone!" Yan Zheke smiled, her eyes were lit with joy.
"Okay okay, I'll obey Coach Yan's order and wait for you tomorrow!" Lou Cheng said happily.
After chatting for a while, Yan Zheke suddenly recalled something and tried hard to stifle a laugh.
"Let continue our talk later through QQ, and it's time for you to call your parents. Remember you've promised to share the joy with families and friend?"
Hey hey, obviously I was saying to correct myself and satisfy the audience~
Is it the so-called "forget one's mother as soon as he get a wife"?
Er, what am I thinking about…
"That's true…" Until then did Lou Cheng recalled what he had done.
After finishing the conversation, he hurried to call his mum.
"Mom, I was taking a bath in the restroom just now since I was all sweaty." Lou Cheng made an excuse for his being late.
Not knowing what had happened in the restroom, Qi Fang immediately set suspicions aside and replied with great joy, "you are right, it was actually the time for you to take a shower. Cheng, are you injured? That girl seemed to be too fierce."
"I'm fine and feeling good. We have a professional physical therapist here to help me relax." Lou Cheng added since his mom would raise this question, "mom, I've entered the top 8 and will at least get a one-hundred-thousand bonus."
"I know I know. Have a good rest in the room, don't come out!" Qi Fang laughed more happily.
She had already known about the bonus from Jiang Fei and Cao Lele.
...
While Lou Cheng was chatting with his mom, Yan Zheke sighed in the forum and went through the posts, experiencing the excitement of Lou Cheng's fans.
Her feeling was complicated when knowing Eternal Nightfall Yan Xiaoling was accepted by Songcheng University and preparing for joining in the Martial Arts Club. On the one hand she felt happy and was quite interested in it since this junior sister was so cute, on the other hand she still felt a little weird because of Yan Xiaoling'd admiration of Cheng.
After going through the other fans' replies with a smile, she was about to log out when she noticed a new post:
"I'm a lip language expert, let me translate Lou Cheng and Qiu Lin communication!"
Er, she forgot to ask about it just now… Yan Zheke clicked open the post to read the Bull Demon King words:
Qiu Lin said, "Now you are the public enemy in Gaofen martial arts circle."
...
Reading from line to line, Yan Zheke stopped when it came to the prediction of Lou Cheng's next opponent. Either Han Zhifei or Zhang Zhutong? Yan Zheke frowned in anger.
Was it true or not?
Was Qiu Lin making up some words to sting Lou Cheng or just telling the truth?
As thoughts flashed through her mind, Yan Zheke clicked open the dialog box and @Xing Jingjing at first. "Sister Jingjing, could you please find me a reliable lip language expert?"
She knew many similar experts were cooperating with the police.
"Why do you find such an expert?" Xing Jingjing asked in confusion.
"I want a translation of Cheng and Qiu Lin's communication." Yan Zheke didn't conceal anything.
"What's wrong with their communication? Did Qiu Lin
flirt with your man?" Gu Shuang appeared.
"Not in the least!" Yan Zheke replied without any doubt, "Shuangshuang, are you familiar with any reporters or public relations firms? I want to make the shady deal public and attract more attention to it."
Thus the whole martial arts circle of Gaofeng would have to avoid arousing suspicion no matter whether they did it or not. Gossip was a fearful thing!
