Rongshi team dojo.

Lu Xing, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stood at the door in person and waited for Li Changqing's arrival.

It's autumn time.

Ginkgo biloba leaves are golden everywhere.

Li Changqing walked into the dojo dressed in white and stretched out his right hand to Lu Xing in front of him.

"Captain Lu, long time no see."

The two clasped their palms tightly, and Lu Xing's eyes were full of excitement and joy.

"yes, the last time we met, I remember it was summer."

Behind the door of the dojo, Wang Junfeng and Zhang Hongtao also looked at Li Changqing, while Sun Sheng stood by the windowsill, looking at the long river on the opposite bank.

In the past three months, Li Changqing and Lu Xing have only seen each other, only from the last training match, Lu Xing knew that the strength of the three of them would not bring any help to Li Changqing, so he did not bother the other party again.

"It's going to be the draw ceremony soon, and the provincial competition still needs to be taken seriously, so let's discuss it."

Li Changqing and Lu Xing walked into the dojo side by side.

At the windowsill, Sun Sheng turned around, and in a month, his appearance had changed dramatically.

Li Changqing's hole shrank slightly, and in his field of vision, Sun Sheng's skin was incomparably smooth, and his face was extremely harmonious with subtle points

The facial features of the whole person didn't seem to have changed much, but as long as anyone who was familiar with Sun Sheng saw him, they wouldn't recognize it as the same person at first sight.

If there is one word to describe Sun Sheng's change in appearance, it can only be perfect.

It is the process of making the leap from imperfect carbon-based organisms to a higher level of life.

Li Changqing also had such a stage, that is, after he smashed the spiritual energy for the first time and obtained the blessing of Qi.

"Your surname is Sun, and it's really the right surname." Li Changqing looked at Sun Sheng and said with a smile:

"If you don't give yourself a word, you will be called Wukong, called Monkey King."

"Boring." Sun Sheng said this verbally, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Obviously, he really had that in his heart.

Lu Xing was a little unclear about the interaction between Li Changqing and the two, so seeing that the two seemed to have finished greeting, he coughed twice.

"Changqing, although it's a disappointment to say this, I'm afraid I have bad news to tell you first."

"Oh, bad news?"

Li Changqing touched his chin, although he had already guessed that his provincial journey would not be smooth, but the draw for the competition had not yet started, so there was bad news?

Lu Xing thought about it and first explained the competition system of the provincial competition to Li Changqing.

"You should know that the first few provincial rankings of our Rong team are very average, and they have never entered the top ten in Bashu Province."

"You may not have time to understand the schedule of the provincial competition, which is a little different from the Youth Cup, the provincial competition needs to go through a draw to determine the group stage members, and through the first round of elimination, to determine the top 16."

"Because we have a total of 20 participating teams in Bashu Province, the group stage will be divided into four groups, each group of five teams, the last place in each group will be eliminated, and the rest will enter the top 16."

Speaking of this, Lu Xing sighed helplessly.

"And then the problem arises here, every time the draw is drawn, the association will decide the stage of each city based on the provincial rankings of the past four years, and our city was originally in the third tier.

"But because every few years, there will be some extremely talented warriors who come up, and their team will be specially evaluated by the association, reconfirm which stage their team should be in, and after it is determined, a vote will be initiated, and the team at the stage will evaluate whether to agree or not."

Li Changqing understood that Rong City should have been in the third stage, and there were two people in the group who were stronger than Rong City and two who were weaker than Rong City.

But now because of his Li Changqing, in the training match, he directly beat through all the members of the Lushi team.

After the re-evaluation, the Rong team is sure to be at least the seeded team in the second stage, or even the first stage.

But listening to Lu Xing's tone, it seems that there is something wrong with the voting process?

"Captain Lu, it can't be that someone from those four teams voted against it."

Facing Li Changqing's inquiry, Lu Xing nodded.

Li Changqing was stunned?

If the proposal is rejected, at least two teams will vote against it.

But the problem is that this kind of special promotion is harmful to both sides.

If Rong City is promoted to the first tier, it means that the original four first tier teams will only be the unlucky one who ranks last and may be bumped into by him.

But if he is not promoted, it means that these four teams have the same probability of bumping into him Li Changqing.

Li Changqing didn't understand why it didn't pass.

This is the first time in the history of the provincial competition that a team's special promotion proposal has not been voted on.

"I just don't know." Lu Xing couldn't figure out why at all.

"And it wasn't the two teams that voted against, it was the top four teams who voted against."

There are two more negative votes, four ......

If it's not some off-the-counter reason, no one will believe it.

Blue Star Martial Arts Association, or is it given by Daytime?

In the provincial competition, they are the only ones who have the power to let the top four teams vote against at the same time.

The former doesn't need to be said, on the entire Blue Star surface, the martial artist has the highest management structure; The latter is the captain of the Bashu Provincial team, and he also has this ability.

But Li Changqing couldn't understand it, and he frowned.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand why this was happening.

If you don't agree with Rong Shi's promotion, what impact can it have on him?

There are four places to qualify for the group stage, do you want to let people beat you in advance?

This does have the demeanor of the day, and the other party has always looked down on the old arts.

It's not the kind of hard-mouthed look, but condescending from the heart.

But that doesn't mean much.

At this moment, Lu Xing carefully observed Li Changqing's expression, and his afterglow swept over the other two.

Li Changqing is the strong player in their team, and the ranking of the provincial competition depends entirely on the former's performance.

Li Changqing's every move can set off turbulent waves in their hearts.

"Changqing, do you have any opinions?" Lu Xing's voice pulled his thoughts back.

Li Changqing raised his head and saw Lu Xing, whose eyes were full of worry, and Zhang Hongtao, whose fists were clenched......

He is the pillar of Rong City, not only in terms of strength, but also in spirit.

Facing the expectant gazes of several people, Li Changqing showed a confident smile on his face.

"Disagree? Then it's okay not to agree. He smiled lightly.

"What if the Martial Arts Association places us in the fifth tier?"

He looked at Lu Xing and the three of them and said his declaration.

"In this provincial race, we will only be champions."

"I have no opponent."

Invincible confidence comes from invincible strength.

Sun Sheng stood aside, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the scene in front of him reminded him of the final of the Youth Cup again.

At that time, Li Changqing was the same as now, unruly and arbitrary, like a big day in the sky, wantonly swaying the light and heat that crushed everything.

Recalling the changes in the other party in the past few months, even if he was identified as a psychic disqualifier, Li Changqing was not the slightest bit depressed.

But after coming to Xichuan City, he found that Li Changqing seemed to have restrained his unruly aura and became restrained.

At that time, he thought that Li Changqing chose Taoguang to raise obscurity because of the more powerful Bai Day, but the-for-tat confrontation between the two later also proved that Li Changqing was not afraid of the latter at all.

And now, the guy whose face is full of invincibility and whose unruly eyes are enough to see everything is back.

Sun Sheng can be sure that there must be a deeper reason for the change in Li Changqing's mentality and momentum.

"I have something to tell you." Thinking like this, Sun Sheng turned around and walked to the other side of the dojo.

"Captain Lu, you can go to the lottery, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, with me, there is no strong opponent in front of our Rong City team."

Finally, after explaining to Lu Xing, Li Changqing walked towards Sun Sheng quickly, he also had questions to ask the other party.

In the corner, Sun Sheng stopped, he turned around and didn't speak, Li Changqing had already taken a step forward and asked.

"The prototype of the supernatural power you have mastered is the psionic project of the research institute?"

"Not bad." Sun Sheng was not surprised by Li Changqing's question.

"This is the second phase of the Institute's seed program, and it was opened to me because of my high compatibility with psionic energy."

"So, everyone is involved in the seed program?"

"It's not." Sun Sheng shook his head.

"The prototype of the supernatural power, similar to the prototype of the artistic conception I used in the lower stage when I fought with you before, but the difficulty and cost are much greater, and it has to be customized by a high-ranking martial artist, and ordinary people can't use it."

"As far as I know, Cao Feng and Yang Zhiming are also involved in this plan."

"It's just that they haven't finished it yet, and there is a high probability that they will miss the first half of this team competition."

Li Changqing shook his head: "The two of them are on the team, and they have the strength to compete for the championship, and there is no problem if they don't come in the first half of the game." ”

"I guess their focus should be on the individual competition at the end of the provincial competition."

The provincial competition of Bashu Province is divided into team and individual competitions.

The latter is also known as the Battle of Geniuses.

The individual competition is very restrictive, you need to be under the age of 30, and at the same time, you need to finish in the top four individual points in the team competition.

For a genius like Sun Sheng, compared to the team competition, the individual competition is their best stage.

"By the way, did the second phase of this seed plan start from the beginning?"

Sun Sheng shook his head when he heard this.

"Of course not, this project has only completed the phase III clinical trial, and we were notified during the day, saying that someone from the Psionic Research Institute suddenly found him."

"As for the purpose...... Sun Sheng glanced at Li Changqing deeply.

"Your identity as a psionic disqualifier was determined by the research institute, and you made a bet with Bai Baici, and now it has evolved into a duel between old magic and psionic energy, do you think the research institute will stand idly by?"

"Psionic Research Institute? Hehe. Li Changqing just smiled.

The Psionic Research Institute has no hatred with the old arts, otherwise Zhang Bairen would not have been comfortable for so long, and he would have become a professor.

So far, the only one who is not used to seeing the old art is the Blue Star Martial Arts Association!

Sun Sheng gave Li Changqing one last look.

"I've seen the video I sent you, Cao Feng and they won't be worse than me, although such a prototype of supernatural powers can't compare to the innate supernatural powers given during the day, but in the middle realm, it is enough to leapfrog the enemy."

"And I heard that this time because of the special contestants, I will choose the No. 7 ring in the mountains, where the terrain is high and far away from the long river, and your Dao rhyme will be greatly weakened."

After that, Sun Sheng looked at Li Changqing, whose expression did not change, and he raised his eyebrows.

"What, aren't you worried?"

"Worried?" Li Changqing shook his head and smiled.

"Hahaha-"

His laughter echoed in the dojo, and after one last glance at Sun Sheng, Li Changqing turned to leave.

"Do they think that my reliance is just a long river, just a rhyme?"

"Thinking that choosing in the seventh ring will weaken my strength? It's naïve. ”

"In this competition, I will tell everyone what the old art is and what is the martial arts."

Li Changqing walked out of the dojo.

No matter what intrigues and tricks the Blue Star Martial Arts Association wants to use, no matter how many resources they have to invest in order to win or suppress the old arts.

Li Changqing did not refuse.

He wants to turn this provincial competition into a performance stage that belongs to him alone.

……

Li Changqing did not go to the draw ceremony before the game, after all, the captain of the Rong City team was Lu Xing on the surface.

As a veteran captain who has led Rongshi to play games for many years, even if Lu Xing's strength is completely inferior to him.

Li Changqing will not do this kind of foolish thing as soon as he enters the team, robbing others of their status as captains.

Ring Seven.

It was originally a backup ring for the national races.

But because the Blue Star Martial Arts Association built a higher-specification ring in the depths of the 100,000 Mountains later, and the hardware specifications of this ring are not enough, and it is close to Xichuan City.

Gradually, it became the venue for the provincial competition.

A huge ring with a diameter of 500 meters spans two huge mountains.

The center of the mountain, which serves as a support for the ring, has been hollowed out and turned into a preparation area for the players.

Such a building could only be completed with the help of a high-ranking warrior.

Above the ring, more than a dozen huge airships were suspended.

High-speed cameras cover all corners of the ring, showing the audience the game in all directions.

Above the ring, inside one of the largest airships.

This is where the commentary desk is located.

And the commentary seat of this provincial competition can be said to be extremely luxurious.

"Audience friends, the annual provincial competition in Bashu Province is about to begin, first of all, let us welcome the special guests with warm applause."

"Qingzhou State Competition, the captain of the Bashu Provincial team, a natural supernatural power, given by Day!"

In the center of the commentary seat, Bai Baici, who was dressed in a martial arts uniform, nodded at the camera with a calm face.

Beside him, the two elderly mid-rank martial artists were a little nervous.

Bai Ci can be said to be half a high-ranking martial artist.

They had never partnered with such a being in their lives.

The host suppressed his excitement.

"Mr. Bai, do you have any thoughts on this provincial competition?"

As he spoke, he swallowed hard.

Yu Guang quietly glanced at the lines on the back of the microphone, and said cautiously in front of Bai Ci:

"For example, you and the one who only ...... on the first day of the provincial race"

Before the host could finish speaking, Bai Baici directly interrupted his next words.

"The first day? Who? ”

The ice-blue Tong Kong looked at it, and the host couldn't open his mouth directly.

This is the oppression of the life level, and the two martial artists sitting next to Bai Bai Ci don't dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's too early to say who is the first day of the provincial competition, and let's wait until someone can lift the trophy as the winner."

Bai Ci naturally occupies the dominant position at the commentary table, and no one dares to talk to him.

"As for today's game?" Bai Shi glanced at the game schedule on the table.

"Rongshi team, against the ferry team."

Bai Bai Ci smiled, and he said very casually in front of the camera:

"The first tier, the team that hopes to compete for the championship, is there still suspense about the outcome of the third tier team?"

"But ......" host is still very professional, and he is about to lead the topic to Li Changqing.

As a result, Bai Shi interrupted him mercilessly.

"It's nothing, the captain of the ferry is a senior median five-star, and the weakest of the other four players is also a median four-star, the Rongshi team, how to win?"

"However, Yang Zhiming from the ferry has not arrived." The moderator still wants to find words.

During the day, the corners of the mouth are hooked.

"But Sun Sheng of Rong City didn't arrive, and both sides lost a talented player each, which didn't hurt."

……

Match locker room.

Lu Xing's face was full of doubts.

"Why did the Psionic Research Institute stop Sun Sheng from participating? Why did they have to choose this juncture? ”

Lu Xing's whole person is not good, and the first game after the draw was completed.

Directly against the strongest ferry team in the group.

What's even worse is that Sun Sheng was forcibly recruited back by the Psionic Research Institute, it is said that there may be problems with the project, and according to the regulations of the psionic project, Sun Sheng must go back to participate in the research.

Just when Lu Xing and the others were restless.

"Don't panic, it's just the group stage, I didn't plan to let Sun Sheng play."

"Evergreen!" Lu Xing saw people and hurriedly stepped forward.

Li Changqing waved his hand at the three of them.

"It's just a group of median five-stars, and I'm enough for one person."

Arrogant!

It's so arrogant!

The median five-star is not a cabbage.

But after listening to Li Changqing's words, Lu Xing and the others had the idea that they should have been like this.

They recalled that before, Li Changqing single-handedly penetrated the performance of the entire Lushi team.

Suddenly realized, the median five-star seems to be like this?

"In this competition, I will be the first to go on, the team at the ferry is relatively strong, and when we play other teams, you can warm up again."

After saying this, Li Changqing walked into the preparation area alone.

Sun Sheng was suddenly called back by the Psionic Energy Research Institute, and he thought clearly with his toes that there was definitely no problem with the project, and he had to cooperate with the research.

The first game was to play the top four ferries, and Sun Sheng was drawn away again.

It's clear that you want to play by yourself.

Li Changqing doesn't care, no matter who the opponent is, no matter what tricks are waiting for him in front of him.

He is absolutely sure that this game will be turned into a stage for his first performance.

……

Inside the mountain peak opposite the ring, the ferry locker room.

Yue Tongfeng sat on the chair and closed his eyes to breathe.

The clothes on his chest were slightly open, and on his skin, a mysterious mark exuded a spiritual aura.

"Qianjiang, you go in the first round." Yue Tongfeng opened his eyes.

"You are the second seat of our ferry, the senior median five-star, Sun Sheng of the Rong City team is not here, and Li Changqing will inevitably be sent to play."

"His strength is definitely stronger than yours, I don't need you to do much, just help me consume Li Changqing's physical strength, and the three of you are the same."

"Li Changqing is very strong, but don't be overly mythologic, after all, he is only a middle-level martial artist, and his qi, blood and spiritual power are limited. The four of you will be able to exhaust his physical strength even if you can't defeat him, and I will naturally defeat him when the time comes. ”

"As long as Li Changqing is defeated, the rest of the Rong City team will be stinky fish and rotten shrimp!"
