Mosk's annual indiscriminate fighting competition is the largest and highest-level fighting competition in the entire Tariq. Known as the "First Fighting Competition", it has always represented the supreme honor of a brave man. It is like the "Spring Festival" of the Eastern Three Courts, a momentum for Tarik people to forget the sorrows of the year and devote all their happiness and passion to it. It is also a day when all warriors full of martial virtue participate in this grand event.
In Tariq, you can say that you are a warrior, because in the hearts of Tariq people, everyone who resists injustice and has justice in their hearts is a warrior. However, if you have not won the championship in a martial arts competition, then you cannot call yourself the number one or the strongest martial artist. Because here, only the champion deserves to be called the strongest.
Over the years, it has been the lifelong dream of all martial artists to win the martial arts championship title. Because only here, the gap caused by the "professional level" of the warriors will be infinitely narrowed. They communicate with each other through fists and martial arts. There is no gorgeous magic or insidious ability, only the pleasure of punching to the flesh. Therefore, Tariq's martial arts competition is not only Tariq's own competition, but also a place where people all over the world who have dreams of becoming warriors can realize their dreams.
However, Zhou Li's dream was shattered.
Despair, gray dreams eroded Zhou Li's brain. It was clear that there were still six hours before the game, but Zhou Li slumped in his chair and stared blankly at the ceiling, exuding an aura of decadence.
"What's going on?"
Azi wanted to go to the kitchen to get juice. When she opened the door, she saw Zhou Li who looked like a newspaper-reading zombie. She was startled. She walked cautiously to Ivy next to the sofa and asked curiously: " Did Magnum III misdiagnose cancer?”
"How come your ideas are getting closer and closer to those of Lao Zhou recently?"
After hearing the very "Zhouhua" words, Ivey was speechless for a moment. But squatting behind the sofa and observing the decadent Zhou Li for almost half an hour, he had no right to criticize others. Ivey rubbed his chin and guessed: "Why do I think he has hemorrhoids and is too embarrassed to tell us?"
"You might as well say that when Magnum III was diagnosed with hemorrhoids, he mocked him in the text message and said it was a misdiagnosis."
Lin Zi finished talking about Ivy's words in one breath, then she narrowed her eyes and continued to guess: "Look at his eyes."
"My eyes were dull and dazed. It seemed like I had lost something important."
Lin Zi stared into Zhou Li's eyes and analyzed: "Did he miss any opportunity to make money?"
"You might as well say it's an opportunity to give Magnum III or Levi's an aphrodisiac."
Ivey corrected him expressionlessly, and then said thoughtfully: "According to my speculation, if Zhou Li had encountered something serious, he would have taken action long ago and would not sigh here at all. According to me Look, he must have lost his pink cat fist."
"What, what, what?"
Lin Zi was stunned for a moment. She raised her head with confusion on her face, "What did you just say?"
"Your hero's only designated weapon has the ability to cause double physical and mental damage regardless of level. It is said to be an artifact that can bring millions of people to surrender with one punch - the Pink Cat Fist."
After quickly and fluently repeating Zhou Li's proud introduction, Aiwei looked at Lin Zi with a numb face and "Ah, it's him" all over his body, and smiled happily: "You can now Do you understand how I feel?"
"happy."
Speechless, I can only respond with joy.
However, at this moment, Zhou Li spoke.
"I'm sad now."
He stared at the non-existent cracks in the ceiling, as painful as his heart. Zhou Li covered his chest and said slowly and sadly: "I'm afraid my journey to the martial arts club is over."
"So fast? Haven't you seen the referee yet?"
Seeing this, Aiwei and Lin Zi were too lazy to cover up and walked out from behind the sofa. He looked at Zhou Li and asked in confusion: "Could it be that the organizing committee finally made up its mind to safeguard the competition and fired you?"
"If that's better, wouldn't it be nice if I just use Levi's to turn it upside down?"
Zhou Li's expression was very calm, but it was as calm as if his heart was filled with despair. But after saying this, he seemed to have a switch turned on, his hands suddenly trembled, and sadness flowed back into a river.
"The problem is that the competition organizing committee has changed the rules and the passport can no longer be used..."
"I didn't have time to steal the ID."
Zhou Li suddenly got excited and shouted in a sad tone: "I won't be able to use a 60-centimeter-long fairy stick to pretend that Levi's is fighting in the ring!!!!"
Levis should kneel down and kowtow to thank the competition organizing committee for making this decision.
Looking at Zhou Li who was in agony because he couldn't pretend to be Levi's and beat other warriors with a 60-centimeter-long fairy stick, Aiwei and Lin Zi had the same thoughts in their hearts.
"Why don't you take the fairy stick and beat other warriors yourself?"
Hearing Aiwei's question, Zhou Li looked at Aiwei with a stupid look and said matter-of-factly: "I want face."
Kowtow more, Levis.
Ivey, who was already speechless, didn't even have the desire to complain. He waved his hand feebly, "Then come on, it seems that your fairy stick mission will not be completed. You made it so sad, I thought you were a pink cat. The punch is gone.”
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, just like that, Zhou Li seemed to have opened up a key acupuncture point, and all his thoughts were accessible. After a period of silence, he looked at Ivy and smiled.
"Lao Ai, our relationship is strong enough."
In just such a moment, all the moving cells in Ivey's heart squirmed crazily, and a bad premonition occupied his entire brain.
"Master Brave, I'm going to ride a bicycle with Kaya. I wish you a prosperous martial arts career."
"Ha ha."
Zhou Li laughed, and while Lin Zi was watching the excitement and eating melon without taking it too seriously, he showed a smile that made Ivey almost escape. He looked at Ivey and asked kindly:
"Do you think you can outrun the God of Death?"
*******************************
"Is this you?"
Holding up his ID card, the reviewer looked at the innocent-looking "Avi" in front of him and asked suspiciously: "This photo..."
"I was uglier then."
With the help of Eluma's makeup technology, Zhou Li's appearance has changed a lot. He looked at the reviewer and replied sincerely: "The photo studio didn't know how to retouch pictures at that time, so there was nothing we could do."
"Your name is Ivy?"
The reviewer, who was still not convinced, lowered his head and asked again: "A Magnum man, the president of the Al Chamber of Commerce, Ivey, right?"
"right."
Zhou Li nodded and said obediently: "I also have a younger sister named Ain."
"Tsk."
After verifying the runes on the ID card again, the auditor scratched his head and murmured in confusion: "Why are there so many Magnum people? What happened this year?"
After finishing talking to himself, the auditor handed his ID card to Zhou Li and said sternly: "Although your registration is late, there happens to be someone who didn't come today for some reason, so you just take his place. Next. Early next time.”
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely do it next time."
After happily taking the ID card and competition pass, Zhou Li finally felt relieved. Just as he was about to go to the next aisle to compete, a voice full of energy suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Oh! Isn't this the brave man? You are here!"
Turning his head mechanically and looking at Eluma with a helpless smile, and Princess Tia beside her who was as cheerful as a Shiba Inu, Zhou Lim became numb. And Ivy, who was watching everything happening behind the stone pillar not far away, had only one thought in his mind.
I’ll kowtow to Princess Tiya twice at a time!
"I don't care, even if you can't let me use Ivy's identity to beat warriors with a pink cat fist, you must let me participate in the silver category!"
Facing the shocked reviewers, Zhou Liru roared.
"Hey, hey, what happened to the brave man?"
Seeing this, Tiya quickly ran over and tried to dissuade her: "Your Majesty the Brave is a God-given gift from Twelve. Your strength is simply not something that the Silver level can compete with."
"A few days ago, I fell off a cliff and was attacked by a wild beast. My meridians were severely damaged and my strength was greatly reduced. Now I can only rely on beating silver professionals to restore my skills and save the world!"
After finishing this excuse full of loopholes in one breath, Tiya was stunned. After a long while, the princess looked at Zhou Li blankly after finishing this sentence, and said with some confusion: "But the nearest mountain range to Tarik is also in the west, and there are no cliffs in Mosk."
"Then I jumped off the second floor and was bitten by a dog."
Zhou Li, who was hit hard, began to act rogue and threatened the reviewers to let him go to the silver category to abuse others. Tia on the side was completely stunned, while Eluma patted her shoulder and said pitifully:
"It's okay, that's just how Zhou Li is."
ah?
At this moment, Tiya felt like something was broken in her heart.
For example, the image of certain people.
"Gold, my final bottom line!"
Zhou Li glared at the auditors and said righteously: "I was just a silver a few years ago, isn't it natural that I am gold now?!"
It is unforgivable!
There was always a lot of helplessness, but the reviewer still gently explained to Zhou Li: "Mr. Brave, it's like this. Our competition has a special mechanism. You can participate as a special guest and enjoy the same rewards as normal players. At the same time, You will also directly enter the top 16 competition without having to play in the previous low-level competition, isn’t that good?”
"I am a brave man!"
Zhou Li suddenly roared and then fell silent. At this moment, everyone looked at him. Zhou Li could be seen clenching his hands tightly, his tone was sad, and his eyes were slightly lowered. He sighed helplessly, and then said slowly:
"I am a brave man, a brave man who was born to save the world. But who knows that I am just an ordinary person who has been given an extraordinary destiny? I am fed up with the privileges and the way everyone sees me differently. The feeling. I just want to be an ordinary person and an ordinary warrior before the natural disaster comes."
"May I?"
There is no true feeling, no emotional outburst. Zhou Li was just describing his feelings calmly. After hearing this, everyone fell silent. In Tarikri, the brave man has always been like the sun. Whether it was his identity as his twelve-moment favorite (doubtful), or his actions in saving the people of Muqi and Jordan, the Tariq people were naturally brave towards Zhou Li.
But at this time, they looked at Zhou Li and found that he was only a young man in his twenties. He should have had a smooth career, but instead he was forced to take on the horrific responsibility of saving the world. For a moment, the hall fell into silence.
"You are right, Your Excellency Zhou Li."
Tiya sighed, as if she felt the same for Zhou Li, and said with emotion: "When I first participated in the competition, they also wanted to give me preferential treatment because of my status as a princess, and completely ignored my ten years of hard work. Zhou Li Your Excellency, I am one-sided, and you deserve respect."
"this…"
The review glanced at the imperial princess and then at Zhou Li, who had a calm expression in front of him. This man from Tariq suddenly felt a sense of sadness. Once upon a time, he also wanted to become a glorious warrior and gain the glory of victory. But now, because of his father's position, he was forced to become a high-paid employee who was waiting to die. Thinking of this, he felt sad.
"Okay, I've helped you go through the most common procedures."
Handing the certificate with "Silver Level" written on it to Zhou Li, he said to Zhou Li sincerely during the review: "Please also please don't tell others that you are a brave man too early. In this case, the moment you reveal your identity, those who Those you defeat will surely be inspired by you.”
"I'm determined."
Zhou Li nodded and took the certificate. Princess Tiya on the side was also quite emotional, seeing her own shadow in Zhou Li. Eluma and Ivey in the distance had complicated expressions, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
hehe.
Ivey, who was squatting behind a stone pillar in the distance, clasped his hands and sneered in his heart.
If you see Zhou Li crying and howling in the middle of the night, saying that he is the chosen one who comes here just to eat and drink, and that the privileges of a brave man are also a part of the other world, don't play it, you won't think so.
But he was too lazy and didn't dare to expose Zhou Li. After all, it was a thankless job. As the most entertaining person after Zhou Li, of course he also wanted to see what Tariq's warriors looked like when they were beaten by the pink cat fist. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, a cold voice sounded from behind, which almost made Ivey jump in fright. After seeing Ain holding Kaya behind him, he felt relieved, clicked his tongue and asked, "Are you here to watch the game too?"
"Today's commercial activities have been canceled because of this game, so I just wanted to come and take a look."
Ain held Kaya's hand. Today, she was wearing a black and white maid outfit. She was very cute, but she had the aura of keeping strangers away. Aiwei didn't feel anything. He smiled and said to Ain: "Then you really should come and take a look."
"Zhou Lizheng's work is all top-notch."
"Yeah?"
Ain was noncommittal, then she glanced at Zhou Li in the hall, then turned to Aiwei and asked: "You need an ID card to enter, where is yours?"
Ivey's face suddenly turned pale.
