Chapter 729 Before the Game

"You seem to care about Zheng Shanao? But he is just your adoptive father." On the other end of the phone, Ota Tokusaburo's tone was slightly teasing.

"I don't want to waste time talking to you, Ota. If you have anything to say, it's better to express it directly. If you keep beating around the bush and let me play this guessing game, I will lose my patience."

Su Yi said calmly: "Believe me, Ota, you don't want to face an impatient Geng Liangchen, because at that point, the occasion for us to decide the winner is no longer limited to the ring."

Ota Tokusaburo felt a chill in his heart, and his mind once again emerged with the scene of Hu Desheng standing at the third-floor window and being pierced through the head by a knife from the first floor from bottom to top.

"Are you willing to do anything for your adoptive father, Geng Liangchen?" Ota Tokusaburo asked in a deep voice.

"As long as it does not violate my principles and morals." Su Yi said.

"Okay." Ota Tokusaburo was relieved, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will tell you the answer."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yi stayed for a long time until Zhao Dezhu reminded him that it was time to rest, and then Su Yi turned back to his room.

That night, Su Yi had a rare sleepless night.

The next morning, Su Yi got up very early and practiced sword in the yard.

He practiced the Sun Moon Universe Sword.

Yixiantian watched quietly for a while, then stopped Su Yi and said, "Mr. Geng, you are injured, it is not advisable to practice too much."

Huh!

The blade turned, the tip pointed directly at Yixiantian, and stayed there for a long time before Su Yi stopped and said, "Tokusaburo Ota's boxing and kicking are weaker than his swordsmanship. He will definitely compete with me in weapons today."

"You often practice the Eight-Cut Blade, but you don't practice the Sun-Moon Universe Blade much." Yixiantian said, "This is considered a strange weapon, with great lethality and strange moves. It is difficult for ordinary people to catch it."

After a pause, Yixiantian asked, "Do you want to kill Ota?"

Su Yi smiled, "Why do you think so? Just because I changed my weapon?"

"Murderous aura." Yixiantian looked at Su Yi deeply, "There is murderous aura in your knife, Master Geng, has something happened?"

"Tokusaburo Ota does have a conspiracy, and he said he would tell me the answer this morning." Su Yi said, "I can foresee that it will be a dilemma at that time. Xiao Han, I want the fish, and I want the bear's paw, and I can't have both."

Yixiantian was silent for a while before asking, "Master Geng, if I lose the game..."

"I will die." Su Yi said.

"Why?" Yixiantian was surprised. He didn't expect such an answer.

Su Yi looked at him without saying anything.

Yixiantian smiled bitterly: "Mr. Geng, you'd better win."

"But if..." Su Yi hesitated.

"That's not your fault!" Yixiantian interrupted him.

Su Yi smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's getting late, let's go."

After that, he walked around Yixiantian and turned to walk into the house.

Yixiantian looked at Su Yi's back, with deep worry in his eyes.

In fact, at this point, even Yixiantian himself could guess that Ota Tokusaburo must have a back-up plan.

But what is the back-up plan?

He couldn't guess.

But Mr. Geng always has a plan in mind. Will Mr. Geng guess it?

What if Ota Tokusaburo really threatens Mr. Geng and makes him lose the game?

Master Geng is determined to go on stage even if he risks his life...

On the way, Yixiantian, who was driving, suddenly said, "Master Geng, how about I kill Taitian and make him unable to go on stage?"

This scared Luo Yu and Su Yi, who were in the car.

Su Yi was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "It's simple and rough, but a little bit careless."

Luo Yu laughed, but Yixiantian didn't laugh, but looked at Su Yi from the rearview mirror from time to time.

Su Yi smiled at him and said, "Don't worry."

Zheng's house.

After getting up in the morning, Gong Baosen wanted to see Zheng Shanao and ask about the kidnapping.

This matter always made him feel uneasy and uneasy.

But he came up empty-handed again.

"Master Gong, my master went out with the housekeeper early in the morning."

"Gone?" Gong Baosen was stunned, "Why did he..."

On weekdays, Gong Baosen was usually busy and went out first in the morning. But Zheng Shan'ao, as both a nephew and a master, got up on time every morning to eat breakfast with Gong Baosen.

Occasionally, when Gong Baosen had nothing to do but Zheng Shan'ao had to go out to do something, Zheng Shan'ao would come early to greet Gong Baosen and say something.

This was the first time that he left without saying goodbye.

"The master must have left in a hurry because of something urgent, but he specifically told us to take good care of you, Master Gong."

Gong Baosen frowned and nodded, then turned and left.

Gong Er and Lao Jiang were fighting in the yard. Gong Baosen took a look and found that his daughter's martial arts were increasingly showing the charm of Geng Liangchen's casual fusion and simplicity.

He passed on the martial arts of the Gong family to Geng Liangchen through his daughter, and Geng Liangchen also showed his martial arts philosophy and foundation to Gong Er without reservation, which was a return of favor.

To be honest, in this matter, the Gong family really got more advantage, because Su Yi taught Gong Er without reservation, but Su Yi did not learn the Gong family's trump card trick of hiding flowers under leaves, so the value of the Gong family's sixty-four moves was greatly reduced.

"Dad, are you going out?" Seeing Gong Baosen coming, Gong Er and Lao Jiang stopped what they were doing and came to greet him.

Gong Baosen nodded: "Today is the final day of the finals. The top three will be born soon. Under the fame and fortune, I am afraid that someone can't help but cause trouble. Ruomei, I know that you and Lao Jiang have been secretly going to watch the game recently..."

Gong Er was startled when he said this, and his face suddenly turned red. He couldn't help but glared at Lao Jiang.

"Oh, this is not my complaint, girl..." Lao Jiang hurriedly cried out for injustice.

"It's not Lao Jiang, I saw you at the stadium." Gong Baosen said unhappily.

"Then why..." Gong Er was startled and asked embarrassedly.

"How can a father ruin his daughter's show?" Gong Baosen said.

"You ruined it, didn't you?" Gong Er said, showing a rare coquettish look.

She would only do this in front of her father.

Gong Baosen said with a smile: "I'm pointing this out now because the final winner of this national martial arts competition will be decided today. If you don't watch it now, it will be gone."

"This is the first time in the history of national martial arts that such a successful event has been held. Although it was an unintentional result and there were various problems, this competition must be the best of all time and will be recorded in the history books."

"Although Dad doesn't want you to go the martial arts route, as a martial artist, you can't miss such a grand event."

"So Dad invites you to accompany Dad, sit in the guest seats, and watch this game openly, instead of hiding and sneaking in the crowd, afraid that Dad will find out..."

"Okay, I'll go!" Gong Er interrupted his father and couldn't help complaining, "Dad, you just need to say the first half of the sentence."

"My daughter thinks I talk too much." Gong Baosen looked at Lao Jiang with a smile.

Lao Jiang scratched his head and laughed.

Soon, the Gong family father and daughter took Lao Jiang out and came to the stadium.

There are so many people at the stadium today. There are so many people outside the gate. People from Tianjin cannot enter the stadium and are even willing to wait outside for news from inside.

It is unprecedented that Chinese martial arts have such a hot atmosphere.

In fact, everyone knows that such a hot atmosphere is certainly attractive because of the new competition system, but most of the reason is because of the four words "Tianjin Hero".

Almost 90% of the audience came for Su Yi.

This can be seen from the enthusiastic people outside the gate pulling banners and shouting slogans.

"Punch all heroes, kick all masters, who is the first in Tianjin? Only my hero Liangchen!"

"Tianjin's first Geng Liangchen, the unparalleled national hero Geng Liangchen!"

"Tianjin child Geng Liangchen, we support you!"

"Tianjin Girls' High School wishes Geng the title of national hero!"

Banners and shouts are all expressing support for Su Yi.

This unprecedented heat has long surpassed Huo Yuanjia in the past.

Outside the stadium, the atmosphere inside the stadium was extremely heated.

This morning's game should have been nine games, three games each for each of the three groups.

But in fact, one person from each of Group A and Group C retired due to injury, so they only played two games each.

The three matches in Group B where Su Yi was located were Chang Dongsheng vs. Zhu Guofu, Tong Zhongyi vs. Benny Leonard, and Su Yi vs. Tokusaburo Ota.

The first two games did not need to be played, and the winners were directly eliminated, so the only highlight of Group B was the match between Su Yi and Tokusaburo Ota.

This match was scheduled for the fourth game, and the first three games were played in two games of Group A and one game of Group C.

There was nothing much to say about the first game of Group A. Both the winner and the loser were facing elimination, and their appearance on stage could only be regarded as a warm-up. However, the result of this match led to Xiao Xizhi, who had the most advantage in Group A, locking in the qualification in advance, which made the audience who were paying attention to this matter on the spot really excited for a while.

The match of Group C followed, which was the highlight.

This match is between the players in Group C who have four points each, Tan Leg Zhao Lianhe vs. Barton Technique Bill Underwood.

Both of them have come all the way through, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Now they are facing each other, it is like a collision between Mars and Earth.

This match is also very popular, because Bill Underwood's style is very similar to Su Yi, but compared with Su Yi, he is less fierce and less exquisite.

Zhao Lianhe is good at leg skills, so naturally he wants to compete with fists and feet. And Bill Underwood is actually better at fists and feet, but he chose to compete with weapons.

This is completely a tactical consideration.

Bill Underwood's fists and feet are powerful, but it depends on who he is competing with.

If he faces Zhao Lianhe's Twelve Tan Legs, his Barton Technique will be restrained, because even Su Yi is quite amazed by Zhao Lianhe's leg skills, and feels that he will be quite difficult to fight against.

But Zhao Lianhe's shortcoming is obvious, that is, he is not very good at weapons.

Before, this player's matches have always been fists and feet, and only one match was forced to use weapons after the draw. He was using a plum blossom sword, facing an opponent who should have been a sure win, but Zhao Lianhe almost lost.

Because of this incident, Zhao Lianhe exposed his weakness. In the next few games, his opponents always wanted to compete with him in weapons, but he was lucky and always drew fists and feet when drawing lots.

This time, Zhao Lianhe's good luck ended and he drew weapons.

After the game started, the two sides did not test each other and started to compete for the advantage directly.

Bill Underwood's English fencing looked elegant and swift. In fact, in the eyes of martial arts masters, they were all very simple moves, only the words "fast" and "accurate".

But it happened that it posed a great threat to Zhao Lianhe, who was not good at weapons.

The dragon-tiger fight that the audience had expected turned into a mediocre back-and-forth. In the end, Bill Underwood was better and won as he wished. He qualified from Group A with five wins and five points, and reserved a seat in the top three.

This disappointed the audience. After comparing, it turned out that the foreigner won in the end.

These days, no matter what involves foreigners, it always gives people a very negative impression. There was a lot of booing at the scene, and many people even cursed Zhao Lianhe, making this Tan leg master face full of shame and humiliation, and had to leave the stage early.

In the third game, it was the turn of Xiao Xizhi, the "top card" of Group A, to appear.

Unlike the other two groups, Xiao Xizhi had actually qualified because of the result of the first game.

But he only has four points now. If he appears with this score, he will miss the first place, so he will definitely pursue a perfect victory.

His opponent was not strong. After five games, he won two and lost three, and only got two points, one of which was won by his opponent's abandonment.

So there was no suspense in this game.

Xiao Xizhi used his own ten-way black tiger check fist to fight the enemy, crushing the whole process, easily won the battle, won five games, and entered the top three!

Ma Liang in the guest seat was laughing.

Xiao Xizhi was his apprentice. If he could win the championship, it would undoubtedly give him face and let him get enough political capital.

In fact, the masters all saw clearly that Bill Underwood would not be Xiao Xizhi's opponent, because Xiao Xizhi was too comprehensive, whether it was fists or weapons, it could be regarded as first-class.

And the reason why Bill Underwood came to this point was a "novel" victory. The more he fought, the harder it was to fight, and the more he was unable to do it, because his strength could not keep up with his name.

He was very lucky to be able to enter the top three.

So if nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Xizhi should win Bill Underwood.

Group B is between Su Yi and Ota Tokusaburo. No matter who wins, they will also have five points and need to play an extra game.

In Ma Liang's opinion, no matter who wins or loses, it will not affect Xiao Xizhi's championship.

Su Yi has injuries and obvious weaknesses. It is a miracle that he did not cause his old injuries to relapse on the spot. But against a master like Xiao Xizhi, his injuries become a fatal threat.

Although Ota Tokusaburo is also a first-class master, his learning is patchy. He does not have the ruthlessness and decisiveness of a warrior. He is slow in his moves and has many flaws. Although he showed the characteristics of getting stronger when facing a strong opponent in the game, in Ma Liang's opinion, he should not be a match for his apprentice.
