Chapter 1973: Getting Old

1973

Chinese Martial Arts Association, competition venue.

Today is a twelve-to-six game. After today's competition, the final three warriors who will represent Asia to participate in the World's Strongest Budokai Finals will be competed tomorrow.

This morning twelve advanced to six, and this afternoon it was a battle between six seeded players and six unseeded players.

The six winners will compete in a one-on-one match tomorrow, and the winner will directly qualify to represent Asia in the finals.

For any martial artist, this quota is very important, because it represents your position in the entire continent. If you can represent Asia in the finals, it means that you can be regarded as a top player in the entire Asia. The top three masters.

What is the purpose of practicing martial arts? Is it that when you go out one day, people will see you and say, you are a master...

On the group stage.

Xu Taiping was watching the warriors competing in the competition arena.

At this time, Zhou Weidao walked over from the side.

"President, I just got the news that Jin Zhongzhao has been suspended from administrative punishment." Zhou Weidao said.

"Oh? He's out?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes, I came out. I have arrived at the hotel now. I will come over to compete in the afternoon." Zhou Weidao said.

"Who asked him to come out?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I heard that the president of Kimchi Country directly called the superiors to plead for mercy. It is said that the superiors also hope that this game can be truly fair, fair and open, so they asked the detention center to release Kim Jong-joo first, and wait until the game is over. Jin Zhongzhao will continue to go in and be detained," Zhou Weidao said.

"What bullshit is fair, just and open, right? How can there be anything truly fair, just and open? People who engage in prostitution are going to be detained, but he can get out temporarily. How is this fair?" Xu Taiping said without thanks.

"What the boss means is that if we don't release Jin Zhongzhao, even if we get the quota, we will still be unable to win. Coupled with the urinary nature of the Kimchi people, they will definitely say that Jin Zhongzhao was framed by our conspiracy. Then it will be very difficult. It is easy to cause some bad reactions." Zhou Weidao said.

"Framed by a conspiracy? Haha, we didn't force Jin Zhongzhao to go whoring, right? If you can't control what's in your crotch, you have to blame others. This is the urinary behavior of some people in Kimchi Country. If it comes out, come out. Anyway, coming out is not necessarily a good thing. None of the six seeded players this time is weak." Xu Taiping grinned.

"Okay!" Zhou Weidao nodded.

The fight in the morning was even more intense yesterday.

Many people were injured. However, thanks to the powerful medical technology and recovery potions, injured people can usually recover in a few hours as long as they do not have broken bones or muscles.

At 11:30 in the morning, the games for all unseeded players ended.

Six unseeded players stood out, and one of them was the blind man.

The blind man's strength is considered high among unseeded players, so his successful promotion is natural.

However, Xu Taiping could clearly feel that the blind man seemed not as powerful as when he saw him before.

At noon, in Xu Taiping’s office.

Zhang Yuanqing and Xu Taiping sat face to face.

"Is there something wrong with your body?" Xu Taiping looked at Zhang Yuanqing and asked.

During the last China Regional Trials, Xu Taiping had a faint feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhang Yuanqing's body, but this time, Xu Taiping's feeling was even more obvious.

"Yes." Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"What's going on?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I'm old." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Old?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows.

"I'm already very old, and when I was in my thirties, I was seriously injured by Zhang Yuande, so I was injured much faster than ordinary people. In recent months, I have been seriously injured twice. , every serious injury, even if I fully recover, has an irreversible impact on my body, and I am much weaker now than when we first met." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Is there no way to recover?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No." Zhang Yuanqing shook his head and said, "This World's Strongest Martial Arts Tournament is the last time I will participate in such a competition. My original intention is to use this Martial Arts Tournament to set a better example for us Han Ye Sect people. I have great confidence, but now it seems that I won’t be able to pass this test in the afternoon.”

"Hey!" Xu Taiping sighed. Every warrior will inevitably face aging. This is the law of nature and no one can stop it.

"When I return from this competition, I will hand over Han Ye Sect to Qian Mo, and I will retreat behind the scenes. President Xu, I hope you can take care of Qian Mo." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"I will." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Mr. Xu, I have a piece of advice for you." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Please say."

"The Wudang Clan dares to withdraw from the Chinese Martial Arts Association, so they must have something to rely on. I hope that if possible, you will deal with the Wudang Clan as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Wudang Clan is allowed to continue like this, he will sooner or later become the source of harm to the martial arts." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"I understand." Xu Taiping nodded, "I have already made people keep an eye on the Wudang Clan. After this competition, I will find an excuse to knock the Wudang Clan into the dust."

"This is also the biggest injustice in my life." Zhang Yuanqing raised his hands and cupped his fists and said, "I would like to thank President Xu here."

"You're welcome!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"President Xu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then sent Zhang Yuanqing away.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The first highlight of the World's Strongest Budokai Asian Regional Trials is now on.

The highlight of this game is that six middle finger players compete against six non-middle finger players.

As long as you win today's game, you will be eligible to compete for the last three places.

The audience watching this game entered the competition arena early.

The venue was packed.

Afterwards, Xu Taiping, Tianshen and other seeded players walked into the center of the competition field from the player tunnel.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene.

Every seeded player has a large group of supporters, and these supporters are all compatriots from their countries.

Everyone hopes that the warriors of their country can win the competition, so everyone does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy tickets for the live competition to encourage the warriors of their country.

To say that the ones with the most supporters are naturally the three warriors from China.

Because the competition was held in China, many Chinese people came to the scene.

There are now twelve warriors left, and all three warriors from China are on the list!

This is a very happy thing for the Chinese audience at the scene, because these three warriors are not just ordinary warriors, two of them are even seeded players!

Seeded players are a symbol of strength. There are six seeded players in total, and China has two, occupying one of the seats. According to probability theory, the probability of a Chinese player getting a spot is very high.

The audience applauded for a long time, and every warrior who entered the competition field received applause and cheers from the supporters of their country.

At this moment, all the applause and cheers suddenly stopped.

A figure that was a little strange to everyone, but also a little familiar, walked out of the contestant tunnel and walked into the competition field.

The man was wearing a Taekwondo outfit with a Kimchi Nation flag painted on his back.

This person has appeared here for the first time in the past two days. However, many people at the scene know this person. Even those who did not know this person before, they all checked this person out yesterday.

This person’s name is Jin Zhongzhao, which is a very hard name, and what this person does is also very hard. He is the representative of Kimchi Country and the second seed player in this martial arts tournament. After he came to China, He has never appeared in public, but his popularity is far greater than any other warrior except Xu Taiping.

One of the reasons why he is so famous is that he was caught for soliciting prostitution yesterday.

After traveling thousands of miles to China, he was caught for soliciting prostitution before the competition started. This made Kim Jong-soo a huge international joke, and such an international joke appeared here today, which made many people I was surprised and shocked, and after the shock, boos began to ring out from the scene.

At first there was just a little booing, but then the boos gradually became louder. By the time Jin Zhongzhao walked to the middle of the competition field, the boos on the scene were already like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

People didn't know why this man who had been detained for three days appeared here, but that didn't stop people from booing him. Even the audience from Kimchi Country, which always likes to cling to groups, kept booing at this time.

The sky-wide boos drowned out the applause of the next warrior to appear.

No warrior has ever attracted so many boos in this competition arena, and Jin Zhongzhao has set a record.

Jin Zhongzhao's face was gloomy. For him who loves face, these catcalls were more unbearable than the fists that were hit on him yesterday.

However, Jin Zhongzhao still endured it in order to have the opportunity to beat Xu Taiping with his own hands.

Today is six seeded players against six unseeded players. When six people compete tomorrow, Jin Zhongzhao still has a high probability of drawing Xu Taiping. Once Xu Taiping is drawn, Jin Zhongzhao will definitely let Xu Taiping have a good taste. Taste, what is the anger of the second master?

The boos at the scene finally calmed down.

Subsequently, Zhou Weidao presided over the on-site drawing ceremony.

Each seeded player will be randomly drawn to a non-seeded player, and then fight against each other, and the winner will advance to tomorrow's finals.

As the second seed, Jin Zhongzhao drew his opponent right behind Tianshen.

When he saw his opponent's name, Jin Zhongzhao couldn't help laughing.
