Chapter 034: A Seed
After stepping on the field, Han Chengquan took Yang Hao and the three of them to a Western restaurant outside the Tianhai Sports Institute for dinner, and he explained the rules of the game to Yang Hao during the meal.
In fact, the rule is very simple, just four words - point to stop.
The Tianyuan Cup martial arts competition does not have many restrictions like boxing matches or sanda matches, and the participants can freely choose weapons and routines, in other words, they can fight how they want, so the risk factor of this competition is relatively high.
All participants are required to sign a life and death certificate before the start of the competition, but although there have been cases of injuries in previous competitions, none of them have died, and even if they are injured, they are only minor.
Because there is a rule in this game, that is, if you cause serious injury or even death to the opponent, it will be judged as a loss.
After hearing this, the two women breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they didn't want to see the picture of Yang Hao's injury, and it was not okay to be slightly injured!
"Or ...... Shall we not participate in this contest? Zhang Yan was most worried in her heart, because Yang Hao would participate in this competition because of her, if Yang Hao was injured, wouldn't she become the culprit?
Yang Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "You have to have confidence in me, my goal is to be a champion." ”
Han Chengquan gave a thumbs up, then raised the cup full of juice and said, "I have confidence in Brother Yang!" Here, for the championship, cheers! ”
After lunch, they returned to the athletics hall of the HKSI, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
The scene in the afternoon was different from when they first came to the arena, it was still a little empty in the morning, but now the surroundings of each ring were already full of spectators, and the people from the martial arts gyms had almost arrived, just waiting for the match to start.
Coach Li had already taken the people from the Han Family Martial Arts Hall to sit in the audience on the north side of the No. 4 ring, and when he saw Han Chengquan leading people to this side, he quickly stood up and said: "Mr. Han, our people have arrived, and we will definitely not lose to others in morale after the game starts!" ”
Han Chengquan nodded and said, "You take Brother Yang to the preparation room in a while, and all the preparations before the game will be handed over to you." ”
Coach Li smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Han, I promise to complete the task." ”
Zhang Yan asked a little puzzled, "Then where are you going?" She herself is a straightforward woman, she can say whatever comes to mind, and she doesn't have a good impression of the Han family's father and son, so she asked this question after hearing that Han Chengquan didn't want to accompany Yang Hao.
Han Chengquan didn't care, just smiled: "I have to go to the rostrum and sit down in a while, and the heads of all martial arts halls will sit there." With that, he pointed to a high platform in the center of the sidelines, where more than a dozen people were already seated.
"Oh, that's right." Zhang Yan blushed and didn't speak again.
Han Chengquan said with a smile: "Brother Yang, then I'll go up first, if you need anything next, just mention it to Coach Li, and he will do his best to meet you." ”
"Okay." Yang Hao remembered this Coach Li, it was the hospital he took Han Dongyang to in the first place, and it seemed that he had won Han Chengquan's trust.
As soon as Han Chengquan left, Coach Li smiled at Yang Hao and said, "Brother Yang, my name is Li Xiang, we met in the martial arts hall last time." ”
"Well, I remember you." Yang Hao smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Li Xiang stretched out his hand to hold Yang Hao, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang shocked me when he was in the martial arts hall, Han Shao is the first time he has grown so big and lost to a peer, and he has lost so badly." ”
Yang Hao raised his eyebrows, he didn't know what the other party meant by saying this, was he dissatisfied with himself?
Seeing that Yang Hao didn't speak, Li Xiang looked up to the sky and said "haha" and said, "It's not early, let's go to the preparation room?" There will be a draw of lots, and after the opponent is decided, it will be time to participate in the competition. ”
Yang Hao withdrew his right hand, nodded, and said, "These two friends of mine will be fine sitting here, right?" ”
Because the people sitting on the edge of the ring are all men who practice martial arts, it is really not good to let the two delicate beauties stay here.
Li Xiang saw Yang Hao's worry, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Brother Yang, you can put a hundred hearts, here are all people from the Han Family Martial Arts Hall, and it will be safe for the two young ladies to sit here." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Did the brothers say yes?" ”
"Yes!" All the people in the Han Family Martial Arts Hall roared loudly, attracting frequent sideways glances from people in other places.
Of course, Yang Hao wouldn't really be at ease, he had a smile on his face and said, "Of course I can trust you, but ...... If anything happens to the two of them, I'm going to go crazy. And I'm so crazy that even I feel scared. ”
Although Yang Hao said this with a smile, Li Xiang had a creepy feeling when he heard it, he didn't doubt the strength of the young man in front of him at all, in case any of the boys in the martial arts hall didn't have long eyes to provoke these two aunts and grandmothers, hiss...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Thinking like this, Li Xiang hurriedly told everyone in the Han Family Martial Arts Hall again, telling them to protect Zhang Yan and Zhang Dandan, and only after making sure that they understood what they meant, he took Yang Hao to the preparation room.
As soon as they left, Zhang Yan and Zhang Dandan sat in the center of the front row of the north side of the audience.
Under the guidance of Li Xiang, Yang Hao came to the preparation room, and many contestants had already come here at this time.
Yang Hao looked around, and at a glance he saw several acquaintances - Shen Ling, Zheng Sihuan and Hu Sandao, they were sitting or standing, waiting for the draw to start.
The draw is divided into eight groups, each group has four contestants, the first person to get the No. 1 lottery will play first, then the No. 2 lottery, and after these two rounds of matches, the two winners of each group will play a match to determine the quarterfinals.
Yang Hao's draw number is No. 2, which means that he will be ranked in the second round.
After the lottery was drawn, the staff began to distribute the costumes to each contestant. After everyone has changed their clothes, it is time to start the game.
At this time, the rostrum was already full of guests watching the game, Yu Zhanbo, the president of the Tianhai Wushu Association, was sitting in the middle of the first row, and on his left hand was a young woman.
Yu Zhanbo sat here naturally no one would say anything, after all, his identity was here, but it was a bit too much to let a young and beautiful woman sit in such a high position.
"Old Han, who is that little lady, shouldn't it be President Yu's little lover?" The person who spoke was named Lu Changfeng, and he also opened the martial arts hall, and he had a good friendship with Han Chengquan.
Han Chengquan smiled and said, "I don't know about this, why don't you go up and ask her?" ”
Lu Changfeng scolded with a smile: "Okay, you old Han, you want to harm me, if you offend President Yu because of this, I can't open this martial arts hall?" ”
At this moment, there are many people who have the same idea as Lu Changfeng, and they also think that woman is Yu Zhanbo's lover, but Yu Zhanbo's reputation has always been good, why did he suddenly change his temperament, and he was so blatant?
Yu Zhanbo didn't know what others were thinking of him, otherwise he would definitely cry and laugh and let this woman beside him be his lover? Hehe, how many men in the whole of China can do it?
"The competition will start in a while, I wonder which ring Miss Lin's friend is in?" Yu Zhanbo was worried, he didn't know that there was a friend of Lin Qingyin among the contestants until today.
Lin Qingyin's status is noble, and her friend must be either rich or noble, in case that person is injured in the competition and makes Lin Qingyin unhappy, then he, the president of the martial arts association, does not need to be the president.
Now that the game is about to start, Yu Zhanbo can't do it even if he wants to do a dark box operation, he can only silently pray in his heart that that person will not get hurt.
Lin Qingyin smiled and said, "It seems to be in the No. 5 ring." ”
"Oh." Yu Zhanbo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Do you need me to inform the people below and let the other players in the fifth group pay attention to their proportions?" ”
Lin Qingyin shook his head and said, "President Yu, don't worry, that friend of mine is still quite powerful, and he is a soldier, the last thing he is afraid of is bloodshed." ”
Yu Zhanbo laughed a few times and said, "It's good not to be afraid of bloodshed, it's good not to be afraid of bloodshed." ”
At the same time, he roared angrily in his heart: "But Lao Tzu is afraid! What if he bleeds and you feel distressed?! ”
As a melodious bell rang, eight groups of games began at the same time.
Shen Ling, who was holding a three-foot green steel sword, stood in the ring, because he was the No. 1 pick in the No. 1 ring, so he couldn't help but feel a little complacent: "Even God thinks I'm the No. 1 person, who else is this champion?" ”
His opponent was a middle-aged man with a beard and a pair of axes, which alone looked very formidable.
After the two reported each other's names, with the referee's order, the competition began!
I saw Shen Ling stabbing out with a sword first, pointing directly at the opponent's vital point.
The middle-aged man did not panic, twisted his body to dodge the sword, and then swept forward with an axe in his left hand.
Shen Ling was shocked, but he didn't delay in his hand, the green steel sword flicked to the right to gently remove the opponent's sharp blow, and then his left leg exerted force, and rushed towards the middle-aged man with an arrow step, and soon the two were entangled together.
"This young man is good, quick, smart, and knows how to break with skill." This is Han Chengquan's comment on Shen Ling.
After hearing this, Lu Changfeng smiled and said: "That's because his opponent's strength is not strong, if it is Hu Sandao...... Hehe, a single knife can defeat him. ”
As Lu Changfeng said, Hu Sandao in the No. 2 ring is indeed the champion favorite in the hearts of many people.
Hu Sandao in the No. 2 ring was carrying a steel knife very casually, squinting at the young martial artist opposite, hooking his fingers at him, and said, "Come on, boy, let Grandpa Hu see how capable you are." ”
The young man on the other side was a little embarrassed, he didn't speak, just shook the iron rod in his hand, and then exhaled and rushed towards Hu Sandao.
"Yo, it's quite majestic!" Hu Sandao sneered, tightened the steel knife in his hand, and then slashed forward.
This slash was nothing peculiar to outsiders, it was just an ordinary horizontal slash, but in the eyes of that young martial artist, it was a sword light in the sky! He simply has nowhere to avoid!
"Boom"
The steel knife collided with the iron rod with a clash, and the young warrior took three steps back, and then a mouthful of hot blood poured out of his mouth.
Hu Sandao grinned when he saw this, then took three steps forward, and swung two more knives.
At this time, the referee who was on the side of the pestle was about to shout to stop, and he was afraid that the young man would die if he shouted too late!
Some of the spectators at the edge of the ring covered their eyes in fear, fearing that they would see a brutal and bloody scene later.
However, Hu Sandao didn't do this, he just swung out two knives at random, and then put the steel knife on the opponent's neck, and said with a smile: "Admit defeat, boy!" ”
Hu Sandao, three knives will be shot!
