Chapter 89: The Opponent of the Semifinals
Rengar stared at Chu Nan on the virtual screen, looked at it seriously for a while, and then a smile appeared on his rough face.
"Chu Nan, although I have seen you countless times through various channels these days, this is the first time we have spoken directly. I'm glad to see that you're still able to maintain your calm mood and high morale. ”
Chu Nan smiled slightly and nodded at Rengar on the other end of the virtual screen.
"I've seen you more times on the Martial Arts World channel. But compared to that, the video you released publicly yesterday made me care more. ”
Rengar laughed: "You really came because of that video." But I don't think you seem to be looking for trouble with me because of that video, so why did you find me through Miss Yang Qianrui? ”
Chu Nan glanced at Yang Qianrui beside him.
If it weren't for her connections, it would have been difficult for him to get the opportunity to have a direct conversation with Reyngar, a well-known heaven-level martial artist.
Of course, the more important reason for this opportunity is probably his excellent performance during this period.
"Why do you think I'm in trouble with you?" Chu Nan shrugged. "You're just saying some of your analysis, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
"Oh?" Reingar carefully looked at the expression on Chu Nan's face on the virtual screen, and made sure that this young man did not appear to be hypocritical and lying, and couldn't help but be a little curious. "You think I'm right?"
"That's right. But......" Chu Nan paused for a moment and continued: "There are some questions that I don't quite understand. For example, you emphasized that because I failed to refine and mature my flesh before my body was fully grown, it would be extremely difficult to succeed when I broke through the Heavenly Gate in the future, right? ”
"Yes. The flesh * body of a warrior is the foundation of everything, and if the flesh * body is not perfect enough, then it will affect the development of everything in the future. Rengar looked serious and nodded in response.
"So what exactly is tempering and maturity?" Chu Nan asked again. "And why is it so difficult for the human body to continue further refining after it has fully grown? Bound to leave flaws? I've checked some relevant historical documents, in fact, even if you don't consider the entire galaxy, just in the history of our Earth Federation, there are many famous warriors who have become powerful at a very old age. ”
"Then have you checked what level these warriors reached before the age of eighteen?" Rengar asked rhetorically.
Chu Nan was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"There are no statistics on this. Only a handful of particularly famous warriors have detailed records, at their youth...... It has indeed become an internal level martial artist. ”
"So what? Do you think I'm wrong? ”
Chu Nan fell silent again.
After a long while, he raised his head and continued to ask: "Then is it possible that you can continue to refine the flesh * body after you become an adult, and refine the flesh * body to a very perfect level, so that it will not be impossible to break through the Heaven Limit?" ”
Reingar looked at Chu Nan's eyes full of hope, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
This kid really refuses to accept his fate.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you a completely positive answer. While there has never been such a precedent in history, I cannot guarantee that there will be no exceptions in the future. Maybe...... You might just be that accident. ”
Chu Nan opened his mouth and smiled.
"Thank you for your comfort. I know that the two star-level martial artists and you have actually determined in their hearts that it is impossible for me to break through that boundary in the future. But I still want to give it a try, and if I don't even want to do it hard and give up, then I don't deserve to be a martial artist at all, do I? ”
Rengar's expression moved slightly, and he glanced at Chu Nan with emotion, and nodded slowly.
"I admire you. Whether you succeed in the future or not, I can be sure that you are a martial artist who deserves respect and praise. ”
Chu Nan laughed: "Senior Rengar, let's leave these words for later." The main reason why I came to you this time was that I wanted to get some more precise guidance. ”
"Oh? For example? ”
"For example, when you say that the flesh * body is tempered and matured, what should be considered to be true maturity? Is there a clear standard? ”
"Well...... The standard for the refinement and maturity of the flesh and body is first of all to be able to allow the internal breath to run freely and smoothly throughout the body without any hindrance. Of course, this is only a requirement in the meridians, which can make a martial artist better become a qualified internal level martial artist. If this aspect of refining is not in place, even if you become an internal breath-level martial artist, because of the gap in the operation of internal breath, your strength will be a little worse than that of a mature internal breath-level martial artist of the same level. ”
"In addition to this, there are also muscular and skeletal requirements......"

###
Just after noon local time in Xiyun City, the audience gathered at the scene of the martial arts tournament again.
Even many spectators who came from afar did not leave at all, and hastily settled lunch around the game site, and then focused on the semi-final draw that would start in the afternoon.
Unlike in the preliminary stage, after entering the final stage, the opponents of each round of the match will be redrawn, so no one knows who the opponents of the two sides of the match will be until the draw results are in.
The semi-finals will not be played until tomorrow, but the draw will be held this afternoon to determine the opponents between the two matches.
For the audience of the Earth Federation, of course, they pay more attention to what kind of opponents the participating warriors of the Earth Federation will meet in the next round.
In the morning eight-in-four competition, one of the three Earth Federation warriors in the senior group was accidentally eliminated, but two still broke into the top four and entered the semifinals.
The audience was very concerned about the results of the draw for the senior group.
If two Earth Federation warriors are drawn together in the semi-finals, then it means that one of them will inevitably be eliminated.
But on the other hand, there will inevitably be one person who will make it to the finals.
And if they are separated in the semi-finals, then at worst, it is possible that both of them will be eliminated at the same time, and at best, both of them can enter the finals at the same time, and then the warriors of the Earth Federation will inevitably win the championship. Nature is the best outcome.
So both draws are acceptable, depending on whether your forecast is pessimistic or optimistic.
But the under-20 category is different.
Chu Nan's victory in the eight-in-four match in the morning and his successful entry into the semifinals are certainly exciting, but according to the results analyzed by various media, his remaining three opponents are all extremely powerful young genius martial artists, and their strength is better than the opponents he defeated before.
Among these opponents, the most amazing performance is Maruk from the Kingdom of Keheli with the entry number 9527.
From the beginning of the preliminary stage, Maruk has easily dealt with opponents within minutes in every match, leaving no chance of counterattacking any opponent, showing almost unbelievable prowess.
According to the analysis of major media, this Maruk is only the level shown in the previous few games, and even surpasses the vast majority of ordinary second-order internal breath-level martial artists.
And considering that he had also easily defeated an opponent with the strength of a second-order internal breath level martial artist in the previous eight-in-four match, then he was afraid that he still had some reservations, and his true strength would only be more terrifying.
There are even many people who speculate that this Maruk already has a strong strength that far exceeds that of a third-order inner breath level martial artist of this age.
If this is the case, then if Chu Nan draws him, it can be said that there is no possibility of winning at all.
After all, when Chu Nan had defeated several internal level martial artists before, he had performed very thrilling in every game, and even almost lost the game.
Although a third-order internal breath-level martial artist was only one level higher than a second-order internal rest-level martial artist, their strength was completely different.
Chu Nan's victory over the second-order Inner Breath-level martial artists was extremely thrilling and difficult, and there was even some luck component, how could he defeat the third-order Inner Breath-level martial artists?
So before the lottery results came out, many viewers of the Earth Federation silently prayed in their hearts that Chu Nan would never win this Maluk.
In comparison, although the other two young martial artists who entered the semifinals were also very strong, based on their past performances, it could be judged that they were probably the level of second-order internal level martial artists, and Chu Nan still had the possibility of winning.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the draw ceremony began on time.
The under-20 category will be drawn first.
Under the eyes of countless on-site audiences and audiences gathered in front of various media, Chu Nan was the first to step forward and choose his opponent.
A moment later, Chu Nan selected his opponent for the semifinals from the original draw box, and the name of the opponent was immediately displayed on the virtual big screen.
None other than Maruk.
