Chapter 12: A battle of burning boats

In the next three days, Su Jing forced me to "practice sword" with Duan Tianya for no reason. In fact, the so-called sword practice means that I started to suck my shoes with my shoes, and then until I was forced to fill my turtle energy, Duan Tianya hid behind the tree in a standard dog-chewing posture...

So, I still found the rule that can force out sword energy - that is, as long as I do a warm-up exercise first, I found that the sword energy on my body is usually as stable as Mount Tai, but after dancing randomly, it will slowly flow into the dantian as short as five or six minutes, or as long as more than ten minutes. This discovery can be said to be very valuable or useless - if there is really an enemy, I believe he will not wait patiently for you to finish the warm-up exercise before taking action.

Three days later, it is the day when we should "collection".

Su Jing asked me: "Do you want to call Zhao Dan first?"

"No, right?" I think this seems to mean distrust the other party.

"Then let's go."

I drove Su Jing and Xiaoqian to the provincial sports school and walked to the badminton hall as the last time. When we passed the track, we found Lin Hexiang was training in shorts and vests. His event was 110 meters hurdles. When we arrived, he happened to finish the training. When we saw it was me, Lin Hexiang wiped his sweat and said, "Are you here to find Zhao Dan?"

I said wonderingly: "How do you know?"

"He told me you will come today."

I let go of half of my heart first. In fact, I was also worried at first, for fear of something unexpected.

I said, "Is he still in the badminton hall?"

Lin Hexiang said: "If I were to be normal, I would definitely be there these days."

"What's the meaning?"

Lin Hexiang said: "I don't know what's wrong. Zhao Dan has been in that place almost day and night these days."

"What is he doing?"

"Practice the ball. He has almost broken thousands of balls in the past three days. This is Zhao Dan now. In the past, badminton alone was not enough for him to pay for it."

"What's wrong with Zhao Dan now?"

Lin Hexiang said: "You don't know, he has been recruited by the national team. In another week, he will represent the Chinese team in Indonesia's Uber Cup."

I was surprised and said, "So fast?" I knew that Zhao Dan was recruited by the national team, but I didn't expect that he would participate in an international competition soon.

"Follow me." Lin Hexiang led the way in front. When we walked into the badminton hall, we were rushing the other players to have lunch. Zhao Dan was the only one in the huge venue. He stood on one side of the venue, put a lot of brand new badmintons at his feet, picked up a ball with a racket, and then rushed to the opposite venue. Lin Hexiang was about to go up and say hello, but I grabbed him and stood quietly at the door and watched.

The ball was hit by Zhao Dan and shot high, shooting towards the opposite side like a rainbow. In our opinion, its landing point must be the backcourt, but something strange happened - the ball changed rapidly when it barely crossed the ball net, and fell to the ball net. It can be imagined that if someone fought against him, he would be in a hurry at this moment.

After Zhao Dan sent one, he picked up another ball and shot hard. This time we were all shocked. The ball was really flying to the backcourt this time, and the trajectory of the movement would definitely fall outside the boundary. Maybe it would be possible to fly into the audience.

However, a miracle happened again. When the badminton was about to jump out of the sideline, it was like it was blocked by an invisible wall. It turned its head and fell fiercely into the boundary.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but applaud: "You guy is even more weird playing basketball!"

Zhao Dan turned around and smiled heartily: "Brother Xiaolong, Xiaolongxiao, you are here."

I saw his right arm swollen with patting high, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Dan said indifferently: "He practices the ball."

Lin Hexiang couldn't help but say, "I haven't seen you work so hard before, but now you work so hard, and your awareness is different after entering the national team!"

Zhao Dan smiled slightly and said to him: "Hexiang, go and buy some food for me, I'm almost starving to death."

Lin Hexiang said to us, "I don't even have to eat or not." As he said that, he went to the cafeteria without any doubt.

Zhao Dan looked at Su Jing and me, pointed to the chair in the front row of the audience and said, "Sit down."

I sat down uneasy, and this meeting was a bit awkward.

Zhao Dan wiped the sweat from his neck with a towel and said, "In the past three days, I have become more and more convinced of what you said to me. I practice these balls every day now, and some people may not be able to play a few in their lifetime."

I said, "If you said earlier that you will participate in the competition next week, we will not come."

Zhao Dan asked us very directly: "Are you ready?"

"The preparation is ready, but I don't mind lending you another week, after all, it's a matter of winning glory for the country."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dan said resolutely: "No!"

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Dan said: "If I don't know anything, it's fine, but since Brother Xiaolong said that to me, I suddenly discovered a problem. If my current football skills are really due to superpowers-" As he said that, he subconsciously looked around and saw that only a few of us continued, "Isn't that the same as cheating?"

I said unexpectedly: "Hey, do you think so too?"

Zhao Dan said: "So even if you don't come to me, I will go to you. I will return your stuff to you and participate in the competition with dignity."

I whispered: "Are you so unscrupulous? You are not taking stimulants, no one will notice it."

Zhao Dan said seriously: "Maybe that's the case, but you don't understand that badminton is my dream since I was a child. When I saw it flying in the sky for the first time, I decided to be a badminton player when I grew up. I couldn't play at that time. Maybe it was because I was not talented. I barely made up my mind to make it into the provincial team for so many years and I could only be a bench player. I want to win more than anyone else, but it doesn't matter if I can't win, at least I can still be with it every day."

I said, "If this happens, you have no reason to give up the opportunity in front of you."

Zhao Dan said word by word: "If I love it, I cannot defile it. If I use special means, it will be a shame to me even if I win the world championship. If I don't say anything else, I will be sorry for my hard work in those years."

I laughed and said, "You can't understand what you said!"

Zhao Dan said: "It's like you are a swordsman. You have worked hard to eliminate an enemy after practicing sword for many years. But before the duel, someone gave you a pack of poison and said that you can kill your opponent by just applying it on the sword. How did you feel at that time?"

I looked at the sky and said, "It depends on what kind of enemy it is. If it is the kind of revenge of killing my father, I will thank the person who gave me the poison!" I turned around and whispered to Su Jing, "I'll wake us up. When I go back, be careful that Duan Tianya poisons me."

Su Jing: "..."

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "Anyway, I can't accept it. I want to participate in the competition with justice!"

I asked him carefully: "With your real strength, are you sure to win the world championship?"

Zhao Dan said: "I will use my true level to play a fair competition with the players of the national team. It would be nice if I was beaten like that." Zhao Dan smiled, "I can't drag the country down."

I said, "Why are you doing this?"

Zhao Dan said: "In the big picture, it is for the badminton career, and in the small picture, it is my own vanity."

I sighed, "Since you have decided, I respect your choice."

Zhao Dan comforted me and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that easy to lose. I have practiced more than ten thousand times in the past three days. I try to try to return the ball from all angles when I still have this kind of memory."

I said inexplicably: "You asked me to give you three days to give me a grace to you for this?"

"Yes, I believe I can still play tennis and play world waves in the future. I have already remembered that feeling in my heart."

I said laughing and crying: "I will keep you a big meal and I will wait until someone takes it away before I can just slap my mouth. I really don't know what you are trying to do?"

Zhao Dan stopped talking and smiled and said, "How are you going to get your superpowers back?"

"You really decided?"

"real!"

"Okay, you don't have to do anything, just give your hand to this sister."

Zhao Dan handed over his left hand as he was, Xiaoqian looked at me and then looked at him, sat down between us, each holding one of our hands, and whispered, "Let me do the rest, just sit down."

Zhao Dan sat on the other side of me, with a little nervous expression and a little lonely. I patted him through Xiaoqian: "Don't do it like a execution. I said you don't want it if you lend it to you."

Zhao Dan then smiled and asked carefully: "By the way, Brother Xiaolong, how did you come from this supernatural power - can you ask?"

I struggled, "Hey, don't mention it, let you talk. I'm really a swordsman."

Zhao Dan's eyes lit up and said, "Ah, what dynasty is from?"

I said, "It's not from ancient times, it's a continent."

Zhao Dan immediately felt spirited: "Or it is the continent of another world?"

"You guys have read a lot of online novels."

After all, I was a young man. When I heard about this attention, I immediately attracted him. I did not deliberately hide it. I told him roughly about the affairs of the Kingdom of Women. I told him that these were mainly to distract him. It was originally a rising star, but I am afraid that the future would be bleak.

When Zhao Dan heard that I was the Sword God, he patted his thigh and said, "It's so cool!"

I said, "I just feel sorry for you."

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said, "Why, so many people are waiting for you to save me, and this thing is yours."

Xiaoqian suddenly said, "Okay!" and then she was exhausted like last time.

After a while of rest, I held Xiaoqian and said goodbye to Zhao Dan. I patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Try it well next week, I believe you can do it!" But I didn't even believe this.

Zhao Dan smiled slightly: "Brother Xiaolong, you won't lie at all."

Su Jing said: "Thank you for your understanding of righteousness, the people of the mainland will remember you."

When we left, Zhao Dan picked up the badminton racket again and hit the ball net. I looked back and saw that the badminton landed weakly in his own boundary...

I sighed...

I was a little distracted on the way back. During the three or four days I came back, I didn't seem to have done a few brilliant things. Liu Rili won't say anything. Wang Jinsheng and Zhao Dan were so badly hurt by me. They were originally living in their own world, but they were completely troubled by me. I thought of a poem for no reason: I wish I could have thousands of houses to shelter all the poor people in the world to be happy.

At this time, Su Jing said to me inexplicably: "Xiaolong, drive quickly."

"Do you have something urgent?"

"No, just drive faster."

"Oh." I smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be impatient."

Su Jing remained calm and looked alert. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the car arrived at the hotel entrance. I looked at her in wonder and said, "Have you wet in your pants?"
