Chapter 182 Martial Arts (17)

Zhang Xiaohua's opponent's little abacus was rattling. People's strength sometimes runs out, and naturally they cannot last long. Zhang Xiaohua is no exception.

However, this durability will vary from person to person.

Zhang Xiaohua's competition just now was due to her excessive use of strength at the beginning, and she was almost exhausted in the end (the essence of energy!). In this competition, naturally, she distributed her strength very carefully. When her opponent just wandered around, she He even used all feints, from the first seven feints and three feints, to the next seven feints and three feints, and then to the last ten feints. You're not attacking anyway, so why should I? Go all out?

In addition, Zhang Xiaohua had just practiced Beidou Shenquan, and her whole body was full of strength, even stronger than when she first came on the field. In such a state, how can two or three sticks of incense be consumed?

Then there was another scene in the arena that made Zhang Xiaohu unbelievable. Zhang Xiaohua actually chased his opponent all over the arena.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that this is called a wandering tactic, like a swallow darting across the ring to avoid Zhang Xiaohua’s fists. The figure is also beautiful, but after all, it is defense, and the momentum is a bit weak, and the scene is not good-looking. However, Zhang Xiaohua's steps did not show any lightness of skill, and were clumsy compared to her opponents, but they seemed to be unlucky, and had a rather majestic air.

In this way, the two of them fought while walking, and fought for nearly a stick of incense.

Although Qing Gong does not require much internal energy, it consumes internal energy after all. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaohua would have mastered Qing Gong long ago. The disciple who was competing with Zhang Xiaohua had sweat on his back after walking around for a while. On the other hand, Zhang Xiaohua was also breathing heavily. The disciple felt happy when he saw that his strategy had initially paid off. Zhang Xiaohua It took a lot of energy.

Originally, the disciple had watched the competition for more than half the time. If his strategy had no obvious effect, he would change his attack method. But now he saw that Zhang Xiaohua's feet had slowed down. He couldn't help but feel happy. He took a deep breath again, and the blood in his meridians The internal energy flows, and the body becomes faster and moves continuously.

He firmly believes that Zhang Xiaohua can only hold on to half a stick of incense. When Zhang Xiaohua loses his strength, it will be the time for him to pick the fruits of victory.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaohua lived up to his expectations. His steps became heavier and his breathing became heavier. The disciple waited patiently for half a stick of incense. After calculating that the time was almost up, he let out a long whistle and stopped flying around the place. He smiled and said, "Two hundred and five, you've been fooled. It's up to me."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped up. His left and right legs kept changing, kicking towards Zhang Xiaohua alternately.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua grinned, showing her white teeth. She stopped moving, spread her legs slightly, lowered her waist, and actually took a horse stance. She raised her fist and struck at the flying shadow of the leg.

I heard "bang bang bang..." several times in a row, like the sound of beating leather. The silhouette of the leg full of internal energy and Zhang Xiaohua's powerful fist collided together.

Zhang Xiaohua's figure was as stable as a mountain and did not move at all, but the shadow of his legs was like running water hitting a pillar. After several impacts, he could not achieve success. When the disciple retreated and stood firm on the spot, his legs could not help but tremble slightly, and he felt His legs hurt, and Zhang Xiaohua on the opposite side also unclenched his fists and shook his hands, which should be the same feeling as his opponent.

The disciple looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said in surprise: "You still have the energy to catch my shadowless kick. You didn't use much energy at all just now?"

Zhang Xiaohua chuckled, with a harmless look on her face, and said, "Guess? Guess? Guess?"

After saying that, without waiting for the disciple's reply, he stepped forward again and raised his fist to attack the disciple's chest. The disciple thought it was another false move and wanted to dodge, but the fist was close to him, the strength was inherent, and the wind of the fist was fierce. The disciple's expression changed, and he immediately raised his palms to greet him. Their fists and palms met, and their body swayed. Only then did they realize that Zhang Xiaohua had actually used all his strength.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw her fist being caught, she didn't stop and struck out with another move, forcing the disciple to immediately take the move and unable to even move away.

The disciple made a back move,

After falling behind in every move, Zhang Xiaohua used his strength to bully the opponent and pressed forward with punches, forcing the disciple to use all his strength to deal with every move.

After Zhang Xiaohua's boxing skills have been honed over this period of time, they have long lost their youthfulness. Even Nie Xiaoer is now on the field. He is no longer an opponent with his four or two moves of a thousand pounds. And this disciple's internal strength is much better than Nie Xiaoer's. It's even more different. Zhang Xiaohua's arms now have an unknown number of kilograms of strength, which is enough to cope with it.

Therefore, for the last half stick of incense, the disciple was really pressed and beaten by Zhang Xiaohua, and he could not even take a break.

The disciple was so angry. He thought he had created a trap for Zhang Xiaohua to jump in, but he didn't know that Zhang Xiaohua would use his plan. Instead, he let himself fall into his trap. He still didn't study the thirty-six strategies thoroughly.

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was triumphantly attacking, enjoying the pleasure of succeeding, his opponent was regretting endlessly, and had to deal with it with all his strength, he heard a shout from below the ring: "Time's up. Stop!"

Zhang Xiaohua immediately jumped up with joy and shouted to Zhang Xiaohu in the audience: "Second brother, hahahaha, it's a tie again, it's a tie again."

But the disciple opposite him looked ashen and dejected.

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was satisfied with the draw and was about to step off the ring, the leader in the audience announced: "This is the 250th win!"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and asked in surprise: "Team leader, isn't there no winner? So I win?"

The team leader had no time to chat with him. He waved his hand and said, "If you win, you will win. Why is there so much nonsense? Why don't you go and take a rest quickly to prepare for the next round of competition."

After saying that, he called another pair of players to come to the ring for a competition.

Zhang Xiaohua jumped off the ring angrily, grabbed a young man watching next to him, and asked carelessly: "Brother, how do you think I can win?"

The young man asked coldly: "What's your surname?"

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled again and said: "My surname is Zhang."

Then he asked, "Does this have anything to do with me winning?"

The young man said: "It has nothing to do with your victory or defeat, but my surname is not Zhang. Please don't call me brother. When my surname is Zhang in the next life, you can call me again."

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but sneered: "How come today's children are like this? They are rebellious and there is a generation gap! In the next life, my surname may not be Zhang."

Then he said with a playful smile: "Let's not talk about the title first, can you tell me why you are considered a winner?"

The young man looked at him disdainfully and said, "Actually, your martial arts may not be as good as Senior Brother Gao."

"Oh," Zhang Xiaohua said, "You must be the one who started with me just now."

The young man was surprised: "When you were saluting just now, didn't he say anything?"

Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and said, "Maybe, I forgot."

The young man became even more angry and said: "Senior Brother Gao knows that you don't understand Qing Gong and Internal Kung Fu, so he wants to drain your energy first, and then deal with you after your energy is exhausted. It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation, and he didn't After exhausting all your energy, he first struggled, and then was suppressed and beaten by you, falling behind. If he had fought with all his strength from the beginning, the outcome would be unknown, but at least he would not have been at a disadvantage all the time, being beaten by the leader. It was ruled a failure.”

Zhang Xiaohua was even more puzzled and said: "It's obviously a draw, why do you call it a failure?"

The young man frowned and said: "Are you really ignorant or are you pretending not to know? The second level of this martial arts competition is an elimination system. There are only winners and losers, not draws. If there is no winner or loser after two sticks of incense are played, the judge will be on the stage. Disadvantaged disciples are the losers.”

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that there was still such a rule.

The young man went on to explain: "Senior Brother Gao, when you first wandered around and fought, it couldn't be considered a disadvantage compared to you chasing and fighting. As long as I defeated you, it didn't matter. But in the end, I was beaten by you. The wandering in front But you have fulfilled the excuse of being passive. In the end, you are tied, so naturally you will be judged as the winner! You are very lucky, and you don’t want to be beaten badly in the end of your martial arts practice."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua looked up to the sky and smiled, saying: "Hahaha, character, it's a matter of character!"

When the young man saw this, he quickly took a few steps away with an expression of "I don't know him."

Zhang Xiaohu was also listening, smiling and congratulating Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, congratulations, it's such a fluke that you have passed another level."

Zhang Xiaohua stopped laughing and said to Zhang Xiaohu: "Come on, second brother, take a rest. There will be a competition later."

So the two brothers returned to where they were before.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua sit down, Zhang Xiaohu asked strangely: "Xiaohua, you don't want to use your Beidou Fist anymore?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Second brother, I'm not tired at all. I can regain my strength after a little rest. Just now, don't look at me forcing him to fight in the ring. In the following moments, I really exerted my strength. In the end, A while ago, I just brought a flower stand to fool him."

At this time, they heard a "bang" sound next to them. The two Zhang Xiaohua brothers turned around and saw, weren't they the disciples who had just competed with Zhang Xiaohua in the ring?

He must have fainted to the ground after hearing what Zhang Xiaohua said!

The two brothers stayed outside the court, chatting and paying attention to the movements in the court. After a while, the competition in the court ended, and many disciples came over and sat down to adjust their breath and internal strength.

After a while, the third round of competition began again. As the number was called in the field, fewer and fewer disciples outside the field gradually entered the field.

However, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu did not hear the unpleasant number being called on the field. Even after the competition on the field had passed for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua and the others did not hear it.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua shouted: "Oops, second brother, this competition will be treated as a forfeit if you don't show up at the time. Didn't we hear it? Don't lose the opportunity in vain."

Zhang Xiaohu was also anxious and said: "I didn't hear it either. I guess I missed it. Let's go in and look for it."

However, there seemed to be competitions in the arena, and no one was waiting for anyone in the arena. Zhang Xiaohua became anxious and said: "Second brother, it seems that we really missed it. They didn't wait for us at all. Alas, I finally made it to the third round, why did I give up? I don’t know who got the advantage in vain.”

Zhang Xiaohu said: "But we also listened carefully. We really didn't hear the number 250 being read. This number still sounded very harsh. There is no reason why we couldn't hear it."

Zhang Xiaohua was also puzzled and said, "Yes, I think so too."

At this time, just passing by a ring, Zhang Xiaohua grabbed a team leader and asked: "Uncle Master, let me ask, why didn't I hear my number being called? What's going on?"

The team leader was concentrating on watching the competition in the ring. He had no time to pay attention to him and said absently: "If you lose, naturally I won't call you."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "I didn't lose, the team leader decided that I won."

The team leader said casually: "That's because you didn't hear it. It's considered a waiver. You're out of luck."

Zhang Xiaohua almost wanted to cry and said, "But, but, I really didn't hear it."

Zhang Xiaohu also helped: "Yes, I paid attention too, but I really didn't hear it."

The team leader turned his face slightly and said, "I don't have time, you should ask Manager Xu."

"Manager Xu?" Zhang Xiaohua immediately woke up after hearing this.

He grabbed Zhang Xiaohu and ran towards the largest arena in the arena.

Sure enough, from a distance, I could see Manager Xu watching the competition with relish.

Zhang Xiaohua walked closer, saluted and said: "Manager Xu."

Manager Xu looked at this young man, as if he didn't recognize him, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you from Young Eagle Hall? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Zhang Xiaohua carefully explained: "Um, Manager Xu, I'm from Huanxi Villa."

"Oh~" Manager Xu understood and said with a smile: "I know, you were sent by Huanxi Villa to participate in the martial arts competition. Haha, how about it? The martial arts competition was not bad. This second level of competition is better than The first level is much more exciting, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Yes, it's really exciting and the level is very high."

Manager Xu proudly said: "That is, which one of our disciples from the Young Eagle Hall of the Miao Miao Sect is not the best among the people? But you can participate in the first level of the competition, which is also good. Don't care about the outcome, the important thing is to participate in the competition. Second, friendship comes first. The friendship between Piaomiao Villa and Huanxi Villa lasts forever. By the way, you really have time. There is nothing going on at Huanxi Villa, and you can actually see from the first level to the second level. .”

Zhang Xiaohua knew that Manager Xu had misunderstood, and explained: "That's it, Manager Xu, I have also passed the second level."

"Ah!" Manager Xu's eyes almost fell to the ground and said, "What did you say, you broke into the second level?"

Then he seemed to think of something and said: "Oh, you are really good, but the second level is all elites. If you lose, you lose. Come, stay here with me, and take a good look at how others compete. It will definitely be of reference for you, go back and practice martial arts well and strive to win more games next year!"

Zhang Xiaohua still wanted to explain and said: "That's it, Manager Xu, I just won two games in a row."

"Two games!!!" Manager Xu was stunned and said in surprise and disbelief: "Did you really win two games in a row?"

"Really!" Zhang Xiaohua said with a look of affirmation, "It's all announced by the team leader."

Manager Xu didn't believe it and said: "Since we have won two games in a row, we should try the third game again. Why did you come to me?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with an innocent face: "But, I just want to compete in the third game, but there is no number plate from the team leader to call me. I don't know where to compete, so I came to you."

"Ah?" Manager Xu was also puzzled and said, "How is that possible? This third competition has already begun, and it's long past time to call your number. By the way, what's your number plate?"

"Number 250!" Zhang Xiaohua didn't hesitate at all.

"Two hundred and five!" Manager Xu shouted without any concealment.

"There are only 250 disciples who have entered the second level. It seems that you are the worst one."

"Okay, come with me, I'll go see what's going on." Manager Xu called Zhang Xiaohua, and we walked to the side of the ring together.

Beside the ring were several tables with a lot of notes on them, and several team leaders were sorting them out there.

Manager Xu walked over and told the team leader about the matter. One of the team leaders carefully flipped through the note, took one out, looked at it, and said a few words to Manager Xu.

Manager Xu looked at the note and looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a strange expression.

Then he returned the note to the team leader and walked back with a smile on his face.

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Manager Xu, did I miss something? I really don't want to hear anything. Is the leader's voice too soft? It's not my fault."

Manager Xu smiled and said, "You didn't miss it. The team leader's voice was not quiet, but the team leader didn't call you by your name at all."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said anxiously: "That's not right. I won the second round. The team leader personally announced it. Although it was a tie, I have the advantage. There is no reason why I should not be allowed to participate in the third round."

Manager Xu smiled and said, "It's not what you thought. Congratulations, on the 250th, you successfully entered the fourth round!"

"The fourth round!?" Zhang Xiaohua looked puzzled and said, "But I haven't participated in the third round yet."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand, Manager Xu explained: "You have a bye in the third round, you will go directly to the fourth round!"

"A bye?" Zhang Xiaohua was even more puzzled and asked, "What is a bye? Doesn't there be a need for a competition if there is a bye?"

After hearing this, Manager Xu thought to himself: "What kind of level are these people? They don't know anything, and they are quite lucky. Alas, I have to give him literacy skills."

Then he explained: "The second level has a total of 250 disciples. The first round is an even number, which can be caught and compared. The second round only has 125 pairs left. It is an odd number and cannot be used one by one. Catch the comparison test, so there is a disciple who goes directly to the third round without a test. This is called a bye. In the third round, there are still sixty-three disciples. There must also be a disciple who goes directly to the fourth round without a test. You Fortunately, you happen to be this disciple, so you get a bye and go directly to the fourth round!"

Zhang Xiaohua exclaimed: "There is such a thing, my character is not that good. Otherwise, it would be great to have a bye in the fourth and fifth rounds!"

Manager Xu shook his head and said: "In the fourth round, there are thirty-two people, which is an even number. Naturally, there is no need for byes. In the fifth round, there are sixteen disciples. There is no need to compete anymore. Even if it is a competition, there is no need for byes."
