In fact, what Shen Changqing said was exactly what Lou thought and planned to do.
Instead of choosing a very strong opponent, exhausting oneself in battle, then preparing for the final fight in an extremely fatigued state, it's better to pinpoint the target from the beginning and do one's best to preserve strength.
So.
Lou set a course of action for himself: fast, slow, fast.
The three-act strategy.
First, fast.
After Teacher Mu announced the start, immediately corner the weakest contestant in the field into a 'dead end,' giving them no choice but to fight against him.
Then.
Lou secretly observed the situation and, upon realizing that another group was about to determine a winner, quickly defeated his opponent and reformed with the winner from the other group, then defeated them…
Next.
The result of the battle between Qi Fang and Zhong Qing was as Lou expected. Zhong Qing disdains engaging in schemes and would quickly determine the outcome with Qi Fang.
