Chapter 49: The Glory of the Character

Translator: TransNEditor: TransN

With the departure of Wu Shitong, the central arena seemed to be a kingdom only belonging to Lou Cheng, allowing him to receive cheers and applause alone. Pieces of blue stones underfoot were illuminated by the sunshine coming through the transparent dome, infected with a layer of golden light.

Lou Cheng was a little-cramped up. He saluted in all four directions, just like physically invulnerable Mighty Ones did in the Top Five Title Matches. In return, he won more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

He took a deep breath and turned to the edge. From the referee, he got back his jacket, cell phone, and other personal belongings. He then went away along the stone steps.

At this time, his vision suddenly came into focus. Near the arena stood: Ye Youting in a pink-and-white martial arts suit, Bai Song, who made huge impacts in former competitions, and other Professional Ninth Pin Mighty Ones that he remembered by watching competitions back in the day. In the further stands, he also found Wang Ye, who was famous for Iron Palm and lived in the same hotel.

They're all are in different positions, but every one of them had their eyes fixed on him!

All of a sudden, Lou Cheng felt an electric current running through him, as if he'd gone numb. He was filled with a subtle sense of accomplishment and a lingering joy flowed through him. Were the Mighty Ones of Professional Ninth Pin following his matches?

Clap! Clap! Clap! Ye Youting calmly gazed back at Lou Cheng as she applauded, indicating that he'd fought well. Beside her, Bai Song and other Mighty Ones of Professional Ninth Pin also nodded their heads slightly.

This was definitely an endorsement from the Mighty Ones. They recognized that Lou Cheng was getting close to their class!

His sense of accomplishment increased. Nodding respectively towards others, Lou Cheng headed towards the more remote stands to share his victory and recognition with Yan Zheke.

He was walking along the steps and looking around for a seat, when he heard a sudden call.

”Lou Cheng!”

Who was it? Someone he knew? Looking blankly at the person passing by, Lou Cheng was a bit startled. All he saw was an unfamiliar face.

This unfamiliar face belonged to a young man. He gave a thumbs-up, and shouted to Lou Cheng,

”Well done!”

Other spectators backed him up,

”Good job, young man!”

”Nice, yeah, the most exciting competition in the past few days!”

Looking at these unfamiliar faces smiling at him, shouting his name as if they knew him personally, praising his performance, two lines from a poem suddenly came in Lou Cheng's mind. ”Do not fret that you don't know your self, for is there anyone under the sun that does not know you?”

In a strange city, thousands of miles away from home, he felt the warmth and joy that he felt going back to his hometown. This sensation slowly flowed through him, echoing in his heart. His sense of accomplishment was even greater than it had been a moment ago!

”No wonder Dragon King once said that when you tasted the joy of victory, you would never want to experience failure again...” Lou Cheng nodded as this idea flashed through his mind. With the shyness like that of a newly married empress, he quickly went to hide in the corner of the stands.

He unlocked his phone screen and logged onto QQ. He had wanted to send a dejected face to tease Yan Zheke, but the joy in his heart made him send a laughing emoji that had its arms on its waist. ”I didn't fail to live up to the expectations of the organization!”

Yan Zheke soon replied with a giggling monkey emoji, ”Not bad! But there is one question, who is the organization?”

”The organization's last name is Yan, and first name is Zheke. Fortunately, you've lent me some of your wisdom and character. I did nearly lose!” Lou Cheng answered with a grinning emoji.

Yan Zheke sent a fist-pumping emoji. ”It's good that you know that! Was the match very thrilling?”

She was very interested in Lou Cheng's Martial Arts Competition.

This reminded Lou Cheng of what Cai ”Casanova” Zongming had said, ”To chat with a girl, it is essential to talk about her interests.” Thank God! He and Yan Zheke's common interest was martial arts.

”Although Wu Shitong is one year younger than us, he's a very shrewd person. He seized the opportunity that I didn't know much about his martial arts. He deliberately adopted Pulsating Quake and Da Kai Bei Shou (Sudden Quake) stances, and he lasted for a long time, even though he'd been trapped by my movements. He slowly made me drop my guard, and when I seized a chance to hit him in the stomach, I found his fundamental martial arts skill was Golden Bell Cover. With the help of this methodical trap, he was able to grab my wrist.” Lou Cheng described the scene that was still fresh in his memory once again.

Yan Zheke replied with a shocked-monkey emoji, ”You scared me! If I hadn't already known that you won, I couldn't imagine how you'd make a comeback.”

Such awe from a girl helped pump up Lou Cheng's sense of achievement. ”Fortunately, my Meditation stance is good, and I've achieved Condensation Stance. After he grabbed my wrist, through that contact, I was able to hear more clearly. So I could discern what his actions would be, and could prevent him from attacking my weak points. Gradually I was able to build up superior power .”

”When has your Listening Skill been that good?” Yan Zheke sent a shocked onion emoji.

Before Lou Cheng could reply, she added, ”I just looked through the official website. Your match video is on the top of the page. I'm watching it now, talk later!”

A brilliant match like this in the middle of the arena will receive the attention of the organizers without a doubt.
