In a blink of an eye, the time came two days later.

The day when the second round of the "Martial Arts Champion" competition begins.

Black cars departed from the Oriental Inn, carrying contestants and contest contacts to the Marina Arena.

These cars are all provided by sponsors and have the same logo. You don’t have to think about it to know that the manufacturer of this car has not only sponsored so many cars, but also sponsored a lot of advertising fees, so that it is qualified to provide cars to these players.

This is also a way for the "Wu Zhuangyuan" program team to generate income.

With the global popularity of "Wu Zhuang Yuan", every product that appears in the camera requires a large amount of advertising fees.

In one of the black cars, Li Zhongwu was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and concentrating. Today, he is still wearing a black gymnasium suit.

Yu Fengying was still wearing white practice clothes, and she was sitting next to Li Zhongwu.

She is introducing the current competition situation to Li Zhongwu.

"There are a total of 188 players participating this time. As I told you last time, 10 popular players were exempted from the preliminary round. In all preliminary rounds, there were only 178 players in total. In the first round of the preliminary round, the winner

89 players directly advanced to the second round, and the other 89 defeated players started the second game. The winning 44 players and one lucky person who had a bye could also advance to the second round.

Including the 10 players who were exempted from the preliminary round, the number of players who are finally qualified to participate in the second round of the competition is 144. According to the rules I understand, the second round of the competition is still a two-by-two duel, and the winner directly advances to the third place.

If there is a round of competition, the loser will compete again, and the winner will advance to the third round, while the loser will be eliminated directly."

Li Zhongwu, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, didn't seem to hear what she said, and his expression didn't change at all.

Because long before he came to participate in this "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition, he had learned from the Internet that the "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition would last for a period of time.

It's still very early for the competition to end.

There are 144 contestants left. For him, this competition is not much different from the beginning.

Maybe when it comes to the finals, he will pay more attention to it.

Now?

No matter what the competition format is, it makes no difference to him.

No matter who the opponent is, he has decided that after seeing the opponent, he will first give the opponent a progressive punch.

The progress of Xingyiquan and Bengquan are very clean and neat.

No need to fight, just a moment.

Only those who can block it are eligible to let him use other moves. Those who can't block it will fall down on the spot.

This is also the reason why Guo Yunshen, the master of Xingyiquan at that time, could defeat the world with only one move and half a step.

No one can catch Guo Yunshen's half-step collapse fist move, so Guo Yunshen can naturally use this move to deal with any opponent.

As for...

Why does Guo Yunshen use the half-step collapse fist, while Li Zhongwu uses the progressive collapse fist? Why is there a difference in the names of the moves?

In fact, it is simple, because Guo Yunshen originally practiced the progressive collapse boxing.

However, he was imprisoned after beating someone to death. Moreover, he was shackled all year round in the prison and the cell was too small. He was unable to practice the complete Advance Bengquan and had to only step out half a foot.

Take a step and punch.

It was under this situation that Guo Yunshen, who was in the cell, practiced only one and a half-step collapse fist day after day, year after year, and finally made this move his own instinct, and its power became more and more powerful.

The bigger.

After he was released from prison, he was no longer accustomed to using the complete progressive Bengquan, and he only used one and half-step Bengquan moves.

However, this move was a half-step collapse that no one could stop.

This is how the myth of Banbu Bengquan was achieved.

But this does not mean that the half-step Bengquan is stronger than the completed progressive Bengquan.

Because... Just imagine if when he was in prison, Guo Yunshen did not wear shackles on his feet, and the cell was large enough for him to perform the complete Progressive Bengquan. He had been in prison for many years, and the one move he practiced repeatedly and hard was the Progressive Bengquan.

If so, after he is released from prison, will anyone be able to stop him from doing this?

Therefore, the so-called half-step collapsing fist is a simplified move made as a last resort.

It shortens both the attack distance and the force exertion distance.

The suddenness of the attack is better than the complete progressive punch.

However, the punching power that finally explodes should be weakened due to the shortening of the distance at which the force is exerted.

Each has its own pros and cons, so it's hard to say which one is stronger.

What Li Zhongwu exchanged from the Main God Space was the complete Xingyiquan, and what he knew was also the complete Progressive Bengquan.

He really can't do half-step collapse fist.

but……

Does it matter?

With his skill, if he can't block the half-step Bengquan, can he block his progress of Bengquan?

"Brother Li, after today's game, may I treat you to dinner?"

Yu Fengying next to her saw that he had no reaction after listening to her introduction. Thinking of the last time he competed, one punch caused Jing Wuwei to vomit blood and fall to the ground. She blinked and softly issued an invitation.

In view of the fighting ability he showed in the last competition, she felt that he should still win today.

No matter what the final result of the competition was, she wanted to get closer to him at this time.

This mentality is normal, just like most people want to make friends with powerful or wealthy people.

Everyone generally regards this kind of relationship as their personal network.

I always feel that I might be able to use such connections in the future.

Even if it is not needed, it seems to be an honor to be able to make friends with such people.

Li Zhongwu opened his eyes and turned slightly to look at her.

Yu Fengying smiled and said: "This must be your first time to Binhai City, right? There are many scenic spots and delicious food here, and you probably don't know where they are. I can be your guide. Are you interested?"

Looking at her bright eyes and bright smile, Li Zhongwu was silent for two seconds and nodded slightly, "Then I'll trouble you."

He had just come to this era not long ago, and the only thing he knew a little bit about the entire Great Yan Dynasty was Tianfu City.

This Binhai City, which is more prosperous than Tianfu City, is indeed his first time here, and he really wants to know more about it.

"No trouble! It's my pleasure!"

Yu Fengying answered happily.

Li Zhongwu smiled faintly, looked away, and closed his eyes again.

The car drove smoothly to the Marina Arena.

After queuing for more than half an hour, Li Zhongwu and Yu Fengying got off the car and walked into the arena.

The stadium was already filled with darkness, and the number of spectators seemed to be larger than that of the last preliminary round.

This is normal, because today the 10 popular players who are exempted from the preliminary round will all show up.

Those 10 people are the favorites to win this competition.

In previous competitions, there was even a precedent for 10 popular players who were exempted from the preliminary rounds and eventually took the top three spots in the entire competition.

Therefore, it is normal that many kung fu fans are looking forward to the appearance of these 10 people.

After entering the venue, Yu Fengying led Li Zhongwu to the first row of auditoriums and sat down.

What surprised Li Zhongwu was that Peng Baoyang from last time was not sitting next to him today. The guy who likes women with big butts was not sitting next to him today. Li Zhongwu was still a little disappointed.

Because even though that guy was vulgar, he was... quite interesting.

Sitting on the other side of him today was a baby-faced young man holding a completely black sword in his hand.

Noticing the sword in the baby-faced young man's hand, Li Zhongwu frowned slightly, a little confused.

Because although the rules of this year's "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition have changed, after reaching the top twenty, you can choose to use weapons to fight.

But it is still very early to determine the top twenty.

There is no need for weapons at all today.

So, why is this baby-faced young man carrying a sword today?

The sword never leaves your body?

When Li Zhongwu was looking at this man, he had his eyes closed and seemed to be taking a nap. His head would move forward from time to time, like a chicken pecking at rice.

At this moment, Yu Fengying, who was sitting on the other side of Li Zhongwu, suddenly approached Li Zhongwu's ear and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, do you know this person?"

Li Zhongwu shook his head.

Yu Fengying frowned slightly and whispered: "Brother Li, he is Feather Sword Qian Ye. He is very famous. Have you heard of Qian Ye?"

Li Zhongwu turned to look at her, frowned and asked, "How famous are you?"
