At noon, the second round of group battles ended, and the first day of the martial arts competition ended.
The disciples on the field walked back to the stands one after another, and followed the elders and disciples of their own countries back home.
"Brother Zhao, thank you very much for helping me win a game!"
On the way back, Xiang Shaofeng said gratefully to Zhao Lin.
"How can I help you?"
Zhao Lin was curious, and after asking, he found out that he had severely injured Yi Rihao. By the second round, the man was no longer able to fight and had to withdraw midway.
Xiang Shaofeng happened to be in the same group as Yi Rihao, and he won a single match. Although he failed to qualify, he still realized his wish to win a match in the second round, which was considered as an unintentional help for one of his own.
Back in the other courtyard, the three sect leaders and a group of elders called the disciples who would appear tomorrow to the main hall to help them analyze their opponents and formulate battle strategies.
Zhao Lin's opponent in the 32nd to 16th round was average in strength and had no outstanding skills. As long as Zhao Lin could perform normally, it would not be difficult to pass.
Yang Lin only made a few comments and then focused on his opponent who advanced from 16 to 8 in the second round.
Zhao Lin's opponent in the second round of the elimination round was the winner of Jiang Pu, who ranked fifteenth in boxing strength, and Helian, who ranked eighteenth.
Jiang Pu was born in the Xiuzhao martial arts family. It is said that he is very talented and can master any boxing technique as soon as he learns it. He has mastered hundreds of boxing techniques so far.
Helian is a Wushu practitioner who practices the Iron Armor Kung Fu and is good at defense. It is said that he can withstand three punches from Borta.
However, this person's attack methods are limited, and every match so far has taken a long time. He is a typical warrior who is weak in attack and strong in defense.
Yang Lin asked in a test tone: "If you meet Helian, how are you going to fight?"
Zhao Lin thought for a while and replied: "Don't be impatient, be steady and win. I guess a warrior with this tortoise-shell fighting method must have a secret weapon hidden deep inside, but he just keeps it secret."
"If you take it lightly, you may get bitten by him."
Yang Lin heard what he said was interesting and laughed and said: "Very good, it's a bit like a martial arts deduction."
Then he asked: "What do you think of Jiang Pu's opponent?"
Zhao Lin paid attention to Jiang Pu during the group battle and said without hesitation: "Disciples are not afraid of people who know 10,000 moves, but are afraid of opponents who have practiced one move 10,000 times."
Yang Lin raised his eyebrows and said in approval: "That's very clear!"
"No matter how much boxing you know, it's useless if you can't kill someone. Just stick to your heart and don't be fooled by his dazzling moves."
"These two people are close in strength. There will definitely be a close battle tomorrow. It's time to study it carefully."
Then he gave Zhao Lin a match list, "I have nothing more to explain. You go back and rest early."
"yes!"
Zhao Lin took the match list, glanced at it, and saw a very interesting match: Liu Feiyang vs. Bukan.
After half a year of hard training, Liu Feiyang has improved his strength and focused on making up for his shortcomings in strength.
In the second round of the group battle, he defeated the disciple ranked seventeenth in boxing strength and took his opponent's place.
Liu Feiyang's opponent was Bukan, a suspected patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and a member of the Lieyan Sect.
Zhao Lin's heart moved, thinking that maybe he could help Liu Feiyang.
Liu Feiyang was talking to the elders of his sect at this time. Zhao Lin did not disturb him and walked outside the main hall to wait.
Not long after, Liu Feiyang stepped out and saw Zhao Lin standing outside the door. He smiled and greeted, "Senior Brother Zhao, congratulations on your victory on the first day."
Zhao Lin responded with a smile: "Congratulations. Brother Liu, I have a few words to say to you."
Liu Feiyang was surprised and startled, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk over there."
Walking into a pavilion, Zhao Lin turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Brother Liu for your teachings, those two pages of cultivation experience are very detailed. I have benefited a lot from reading them. I would like to thank you."
Liu Feiyang said nonchalantly: "That's right. There are only a few people who practice wind-based skills. If we keep them hidden, how can we carry them forward?"
"Besides, if it hadn't been for Senior Brother Zhao to wake me up, I wouldn't have been able to practice hard for half a year, let alone enter the elimination round."
After a few polite words, Zhao Lin got to the point: "Brother Liu, are you confident that you can win against Wei Zi's Bukan tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Liu Feiyang put away his smile and said seriously: "To be honest with you, Senior Brother Zhao, I was able to defeat an opponent with the seventeenth best boxing power in an upset, because the opponent underestimated the opponent."
"But Bukan is not only stronger, but also cautious by nature. He has advanced training in the flaming sword, and even his speed is not much inferior to mine."
"It's difficult to defeat this person with just one word!"
Zhao Lin agreed: "If it is purely a competition of strength, I don't think there is much hope."
But then the conversation changed, "I discovered that Bukan has a weakness, maybe I can give it a try."
"weakness?"
Liu Feiyang's eyes lit up, "Senior Brother Zhao, please tell me."
Zhao Lin muttered: "Have you noticed? Bukan likes to talk to himself, and he is very strict in everything he does, and he has strict requirements for every step of his actions."
Liu Feiyang smiled and said, "Yes, I noticed it too."
"When testing his punching strength, he walked around repeatedly and couldn't even make a single step. But...is this a weakness?"
"I think the more strict a person is on himself, the better he will be in martial arts."
Zhao Lin shook his head gently, "Brother Liu didn't understand what I meant. I didn't mean to find weaknesses in his martial arts, but to use his character with obsessive-compulsive disorder to stimulate him and make him perform abnormally."
"Strong...what obstacle?"
Liu Feiyang was confused and asked in shock.
Zhao Lin considered the words and tried his best to explain in words he could understand: "Let's put it this way, Bukan is very superstitious. Everything must be done according to fixed steps, and the placement of things must also follow certain rules."
At this point, seeing that Liu Feiyang still seemed to understand, Zhao Lin unbuttoned the training uniform and buttoned it again, but they were all misplaced.
"Brother Liu, if someone dresses like this, what would you think?"
Liu Feiyang frowned and said, "I think it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, a bit awkward."
"Would you force that person to button his clothes?"
"That's not true. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Linzhong nodded and said, "Yes, it just looks awkward. But for someone like Bu Kan, it's not just awkward."
"He will have a strong desire to force the other person to button up, and if he cannot do that, he will be very uncomfortable."
"If the problem is magnified, it will cause him to fall into chaos and affect his performance!"
"do you understand?"
Zhao Lin knew that this approach was unethical, but the competition was of great importance. Both sides were their own masters, so there was no need for any psychological pressure. Besides, the Flame Sect had done so many despicable things.
Liu Feiyang was fascinated by what he heard, and suddenly realized: "I understand, it just looks awkward and uncomfortable, so why do you get it, right?"
Zhao Lin raised his thumbs and said, "That's what it means."
Liu Feiyang bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao. If I can win this time, I will be grateful."
Zhao Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to say thank you. Whether it will be effective or not is still uncertain. Besides, even if it is useful, it must rely on strength."
Liu Feiyang smiled and said: "I understand this..."
