Volume 2: Dragon Teng Xijing Chapter 403: I also abstained
The organizers originally wanted Lu Yao's strong strength and mighty style of play to ignite the passion of the audience and sweep away the haze caused by the death of the game, but they didn't want Xiang Shaolong to admit defeat directly, which made their ideas a little frustrated.
But what they didn't expect was that because of the momentum of Lu Yao's surrendered soldiers, the audience's emotions reached a peak they couldn't imagine, all kinds of shouts, roars, and voices were endless.
At the moment when Lu Yao and Xiang Shaolong walked off the ring side by side, the audience responded with thunderous applause, the sound was neat and loud, deafening, until the two completely exited, and the host introduced the next player, and the applause continued when the player had already entered.
The second appearance was Qiao Long and Mitsui Shou, and their appearance did not cause much response from the audience, especially when Mitsui Shou entered, there was a great boo at the scene.
There is no separate lounge here, the preparers are all sitting in the temporary seats in the corner of the arena to watch the game, Lu Yao saw that Qiao Long's opponent was Mitsui Shou, and he did not have a trace of worry, in his opinion, although Mitsui Shou is profound, but it should not be Qiao Long's opponent, he also took the time to go to the bathroom. But this time, when he returned, he was a little blindsided, in his heart it was a scene of victory, but when he came back, he just heard the broadcast of the live host.
"Let's congratulate Mr. Mitsui Shou, a player from Japan, who won this match by defeating Mr. Qiao Long from Tianxin Martial Arts Hall, Shuangta City, Sinlu Province......"
As for what the host said later, Lu Yao didn't remember anymore, he only remembered that when he saw Qiao Long, a large piece of clothing in front of Qiao Long was torn off by the opponent, and blood marks were faintly visible.
"Brother Long, what's going on, shouldn't he be your opponent?" Lu Yao hurriedly ran over and asked with concern about Qiao Long's body.
"......" Qiao Long whispered a word in Lu Yao's ear, Lu Yao was slightly stunned, and soon behaved very nervously again, helping Qiao Long to slowly walk towards the seat.
Because this is a temporary competition venue, the time is in a hurry, and many facilities are not very complete, Lu Yao and their location are only the position of the players, and Jin Yulong and the others were stopped outside from afar, and they couldn't meet for a while.
Qiao Long's failure did not displease the audience, after all, everyone saw that he was injured, and his chest and back were hit hard by the other party to varying degrees, and he also tried his best, so the audience still applauded him warmly.
The third group of players is Zhou Xiang and Ma Qianli, although Ma Qianli's performance in the last game was also very eye-catching, but no one thought that he would be Zhou Xiang's opponent, and the facts also proved that the audience's idea was correct, Zhou Xiang defeated Ma Qianli.
But the only thing that people didn't expect was that Zhou Xiang's victory over Ma Qianli was not as easy as he imagined, under Ma Qianli's endless strange moves, Zhou Xiang was also injured to a certain extent, but his injury was much lighter than Ma Qianli, and it was Zhou Xiang who stood and walked out of the ring in the end.
This round of the competition is all over, Lu Yao, Zhou Xiang, Lan Jing and Mitsui Shou advanced, Tianshan Martial Arts Hall became the biggest winner, the two players played, both of them successfully advanced to the next round, and many people also began to pay attention to Tianshan Martial Arts Hall, which was not paid attention to before.
This time the competition temporarily changed the venue, although the audience increased a lot, but the organizer still invested a lot of money for this, this venue is not used in vain, with one day of one day's expenses, in order to reduce the corresponding unnecessary expenses, the organizers decided to carry out the next round of the game on the same day, four people duel, two advanced, directly and Ishihara Michiko, Matsushiro will meet the finals.
The audience was naturally very happy to hear such news, and the players could not say no, so they had to drag their tired bodies that had already fought a game to continue the game.
And in terms of the decision of opponents in this round, the organizers are also ingenious, they handed the final decision to the nearly 30,000 spectators on the scene, each with a simple voting machine in their hands, through which they can decide who will face off in this round.
The whole voting and counting process lasted nearly half an hour, and half an hour later, the organizers announced the final results of the audience's voting, and almost 95% of the people voted for Lu Yao against Mitsui Shou, and Lan Jing against Zhou Xiang.
The organizer also randomly selected a few lucky viewers on the spot, gave them exquisite gifts, and interviewed them about the starting point of such a vote, and the statements of the ten lucky viewers were surprisingly consistent.
Everyone thinks that Mitsui Shou should be beaten hard, and the best candidate for this task is Lu Yao, Lu Yao's style of play is domineering, they believe that he will be able to beat Mitsui Shou violently, and because Mitsui Shou eliminated Lu Yao's fellow disciple before, Qiao Long of Tianxin Martial Arts Hall, they have reason to believe that Lu Yao will definitely avenge Qiao Long.
As for the reason why they chose to let Lan Jing and Zhou Xiang fight, it is very funny, everyone has also seen the introduction of the players, until Zhou Xiang is Lan Jing's senior brother, they believe that Zhou Xiang, the senior brother, must have a way to subdue Lan Jing, and they want Lan Jing to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Although the statements of these 10 lucky spectators do not represent 100% of the voices of all viewers, they can represent the thoughts of the vast majority of people, so everyone is full of confidence in the next matchup.
After everything was arranged, the contestants appeared, and the first group appeared on the stage of Zhou Xiang and Lan Jingshi, two brothers.
"Brother Long, who do you think will win?" Lu Yao asked Qiao Long softly.
"If nothing else, Lan Jing should not be Zhou Xiang's opponent, not to mention that Zhou Xiang is Lan Jing's senior brother, judging from the strength that has been shown so far, Zhou Xiang's strength is obviously much higher than Lan Jing, I think Lan Jing is almost impossible to win." Qiao Long pondered for a moment and then replied.
"I think so too!" Lu Yao nodded and said. What Qiao Long said was also what he thought in his heart, and he also thought that Lan Jing should not be Zhou Xiang's opponent, as for how long he could last, it depended on the performance of the two, after all, the junior brother between the same senior brother is not necessarily inferior to the senior brother.
The host introduced the two players very ceremoniously, because after this game, one person has already entered the semi-finals, so the host also had an idea and asked the two players to speak.
The first to speak was Zhou Xiang, who took the host's microphone with a smile, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "My junior brother thinks it's been more than ten years, and we have learned from each other thousands of times in these ten years, but every time the result is without exception, so I want to follow the opportunity given to me by the host, and say sorry to all the audience who support me and like me!" ”
As soon as the three words sorry came out, everyone was stunned, and they didn't understand why Zhou Xiang said sorry, but in the next second, they completely understood, because Zhou Xiang said something that everyone couldn't believe.
"Thousands of matches, even if there is a very small probability I should be able to win once, but unfortunately, I have never won, I am not the opponent of my junior brother, so I want to say, I abstain in this game, I admit defeat, don't fight, I can't beat him!" Zhou Xiang said in surprise.
"What, how is this possible, this is impossible, it must be that he, the brother at the time, was embarrassed to rob his junior brother and said so."
"No, everyone else can be promoted, but he can't be promoted, we refuse to be shady!"
"Yes, refuse the shady, we want to watch the fair game!"
“……”
As soon as Zhou Xiang's words fell, there was a tsunami-like quarrel at the scene, almost no one could accept such a reality, they all agreed that this must be shady.
The host saw that the situation was a little out of control, and whether he had a better way to solve it, so he hurriedly turned to the microphone in Zhou Xiang's hand and asked loudly at the top of his voice, wanting to suppress part of the audience's voice as much as possible.
"Mr. Lan Jing, I want to ask you, what do you think of what your senior brother said just now?" The host asked loudly.
I have to admire the host's good question, as soon as this statement came out, the effect was excellent, the scene was much quieter, Lan Jing took the microphone handed over by the host with a smile under the eyes of many people who wanted to strangle him, and said directly: "How else can you look at it, what he said is the truth, he is indeed not my opponent, and there is no point in competing!" ”
After Lan Jing finished speaking, he directly threw the microphone to the host and made a grimace at the tens of thousands of viewers at the scene.
"This ......" The host thought that Lan Jing would be humble, if this was the case, he also happened to take this opportunity to propose that the two of them respect everyone's wishes to compete in the last game, but who would have thought that Lan Jing, a living treasure, would not play according to the routine, and said such a thing, so that he didn't know how to continue for a while.
What made him even more helpless was that when he was stunned, Zhou Xiang and Lan Jing had already walked towards the stage, obviously the matter was a foregone conclusion, it was useless to say anything to himself, it was impossible for the host to forcibly pull them back and continue the competition, and it was impossible to directly cancel their qualifications, because he himself did not have this qualification.
In desperation, he had no choice but to quickly change his smiling face and work hard to pave the way for a match between Lu Yao and Mitsui Shou.
Although the audience was not happy to accept this farce directed and acted by Lan Jing and Zhou Xiang, when they thought that Lu Yao was about to appear on the stage, they immediately focused all their attention on the next game.
Many banners prepared in advance were pulled up in the crowd, and many teachers and students of Xijing University who came to watch the game shouted slogans to cheer for Lu Yao as if they had been deliberately organized.
