rush to score

At that time, he happened to go to the sword gym on Monday and asked Shu Yongfeng to sign up with him for the club league in a few weeks.

Monday is a day when the gymnasium has always been closed. There are no students, and the venue is vacant. Professional athletes often rent venues for training.Liang Xi ran into an unexpected person in Shu Yongfeng's office——Xu Gaoyi, an active member of the foil national team and just won the silver medal in the Olympic Games last year.

Xu Gaoyi is considered older among athletes. He is 25 years old. Some media said that he intends to retire after the next Olympic Games. It is hard to say whether it is true or not.

Liang Xi had watched Xu Gaoyi's competition in the audience when he was young, but he had never been in contact with him, so he didn't take the liberty to talk to him, but just told Shu Yongfeng about the competition in a straight-forward manner.

"National Club League?" Shu Yongfeng's room was filled with a lingering smell of smoke, he stopped his hands and looked at Liang Xi, "Why do you suddenly want to participate in this?"

Liang Xi took out the speech he had prepared: "Recovery, I haven't played in China for a long time."

The National Club League sounds advanced, but it is actually a competition for fans.From children as young as six years old to middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, as long as they are registered students in various clubs, they can participate. Naturally, the gold content is not very high, and few professional athletes will get involved.

However, this game is not so useless...

"Huh? There are also championships and city games for rehabilitation. You kid is lying in front of me. Be careful and I will beat you." Shu Yongfeng didn't save Liang Xi's face in front of outsiders, "Lack of money?"

"...Hmm." Liang Xiji slightly retracted his chin, and his ears turned red, "How much is the prize money for this year's championship?"

"Seven thousand."

As soon as Shu Yongfeng finished speaking, he heard Xu Gaoyi who was next to him ask: "This kid is so confident? As soon as he came up, he rushed to the champion's prize money."

He only thought that Liang Xi was a student who had a good relationship with Shu Yongfeng in the club. After all, the name "Liang Xi" was quite famous in the domestic fencing circle before. Four years later, there are countless other "geniuses" after Liang Xi. "Young player", if there is no result, no one will remember him.

Shu Yongfeng laughed and said nothing when he heard this, he took a yellow-faced folding fan in his hand, fanned his face once and for all, sat firmly on the chair and looked at Liang Xi.

To say that Liang Xi's personality is also good on weekdays, there is one thing - he will become very aggressive on the field.He has been like this since he was a child, unwilling to admit that he is worse than others. According to Lu Mingchuan's words, it's just three words, and he can't afford to lose.

As he grows older, Liang Xi has played more and more games, and has seen more and more people and things. When he meets an opponent again, he is not as excited as he was when he was a child. He thinks he has become more restrained...

"Senior Xu, I've watched your games in the audience since I was a child." He turned his head and smiled gently at Xu Gaoyi, "At that time, I wondered if I could play against you if I had the chance. I think today is just a coincidence, I would like to ask senior if he would like to go to the swordsmanship to learn."

"Yo!" Xu Gaoyi stood up from the chair, walked to the front and patted Liang Xi's shoulder, "Okay! I was just saying that I wanted to find someone to fight in actual combat while the museum is closed. Come on, brother will practice with you."

Being able to play against Xu Gaoyi, Liang Xi was also excited. After all, he is a senior of the national team and has won medals. Even though Liang Xi thinks that his level is not bad, he is still nervous in front of Xu Gaoyi.

The two agreed to fight five swords, and whoever scored five points first would win.

The referee was a female coach randomly picked from the sword gym. She didn't seem surprised to see Xu Gaoyi. It seems that this guy is probably a frequent visitor to the sword gym... This is actually quite strange. Xu Gaoyi didn't go to the base in the team Instead, they came to an ordinary club to find a venue.

Liang Xi took a deep breath, went to the locker room to put on the protective clothing and metal clothing, and then went out to stand face to face with Xu Gaoyi on the kendo.His height is about the same as Xu Gaoyi's, just over 1.8 meters, and he doesn't have any sense of oppression visually.

However, what surprised Xu Gaoyi was the sense of balance between two people standing on the kendo—just imagine, when an ordinary player meets the world's top fencing player, it may be a bit exaggerated to describe it as "cowardly", but At least it shouldn't look so natural.

The boy in front of him did look a little nervous, but he didn't make people feel that he was afraid. On the contrary, he looked very excited, as if he was about to face a real match.

"Is Brother Liang Zi playing a match with Brother Gao Yi?!" A crisp female voice broke the quiet atmosphere in the sword gym. Shu Tongying came into the sword gym at some time, and trotted two steps to the sword path where the two were.

On Monday, although the museum was closed, there were still some students attending private training and athletes renting venues. Originally, Liang Xi and Xu Gaoyi came in very low-key, but after being called out by Shu Tongying, people gradually began to gather beside the kendo, wanting to see it for themselves. Watch the Olympic runner-up play.

Lu Mingchuan once told Liang Xi that fencing is a very hypocritical sport in his opinion.It evolved from bloody battles, while trying to stab the opponent's vitals, while saluting gracefully, enjoying the reputation of the so-called gentleman's sport.

However, Liang Xi's playing style on the field has never been related to the word "gentleman". He is used to taking the initiative and launching attacks continuously until the opponent is exhausted and can no longer keep up with his rhythm. At this time, as long as the opponent shows a slight flaw, Liang Xi's sword will strike like lightning, hitting the vital point directly.

His movements are fast, and he will press every step of the way after he has the initiative. Anyone who has played against him will be surprised by the huge contrast between him on and off the court.

However, when facing Xu Gaoyi, Liang Xi did not choose to use such an explicit style of play from the beginning.He saluted Xu Gaoyi in front of the starting line, and when the referee issued an order, he slowed down his pace and handed over the initiative to Xu Gaoyi.

After all, Xu Gaoyi is a senior, and the actual battle between the two of them at this time is more like a friendly practice. Liang Xi's aggressive style of play on the field seems impolite at this time.

It was the first time he met someone of the world runner-up level, and he also wanted to learn more and observe more. Therefore, the two of them fought peacefully for the first time, probing and confronting back and forth. Little, but there is no sense of tension under the feet.

With the first sword, Xu Gaoyi scored.

With this sword, Liang Xi knew in his heart that both of them wanted to have a "polite" start, so he did not use his full strength, and Xu Gaoyi did not.

After throwing a sword, Liang Xi stabilized his footsteps, and made every defensive move very steadily. With a simple defensive counterattack, Liang Xi scored a point.

There were sporadic applause around. Obviously, everyone also thought that Liang Xi was a student of the club, and it was worth getting a sword from him to fight against the world runner-up.

However, among the crowd of onlookers, there was a tall man wearing a full protective suit and a helmet standing aside without any reaction.

If Liang Xi turned his head at this time, he would have seen this person, but his attention was not allocated to the audience...

The situation on the field was enough to make him suffocate.

Originally, I thought it was enough "polite" for two people to start the game friendly, and then they could fight a real battle with Xu Gaoyi freely.However, the opponent's movements are still quite restrained, every technical movement is too standard, not like playing a game, but like a teacher teaching students, deliberately leaving holes in defense, waiting for Liang Xi to go prick.

Like punching cotton, the score quickly became 3:1, Liang Xi 3, Xu Gaoyi 1, and these three swords were obviously deliberately conceded by Xu Gaoyi.

Logically speaking, the athletes who finished the three swords should be able to feel the physical damage, but Liang Xi didn't even sweat a little from the tip of his nose stuffed in the helmet.

He couldn't help calling a timeout, and walked up to Xu Gaoyi: "Senior, you can let go and fight with me."

"Okay." Xu Gaoyi answered him with a smile.

However, after the referee called the start, Xu Gaoyi still seemed not in high spirits.If you have to comment on Xu Gaoyi's current style of play, his moves are good enough for amateur players.

But Liang Xi is not an amateur player. He has been dealing with the sword in his hand for more than 13 years. If he can't see Xu Gaoyi's intention of releasing water, he doesn't need to say that he is a professional athlete.

Finally, when Xu Gaoyi was attacking, he vigorously swung the opponent's sword away to seize the initiative, and then stabbed Xu Gaoyi's arm with lightning speed, within two centimeters of the effective scoring point.

With a "beep", the referee turned on a white light to indicate that the stab was invalid. Liang Xi did not score, and the game continued.

From the eyes of others, this sword was Liang Xi's point of aim, but Xu Gaoyi obviously made a dumbfounded movement.There was only a slight deviation from the effective part, and the speed of the movement was staggering. Xu Gaoyi was careless and did not have time to make a defensive movement. He did not even touch Liang Xi's sword, and was directly stabbed firmly on the arm by him... …

This is not like an accident, more like a warning from the boy opposite.

Xu Gaoyi seemed to realize that Liang Xi's strength was far beyond his imagination at this time, however, it would be too late to realize this again.

When the referee called the start again, Liang Xi seemed to be a different person. He kept testing Xu Gaoyi's attack, trying to strike his sword and regain the initiative.

Xu Gaoyi was not in a daze either, he began to become more cautious, concentrating on the transfer movements of his subordinates, so as to avoid Liang Xi's sword.

Finally, Liang Xi made a closing movement, freeing his right shoulder. This moment was only a few tenths of a second, but for a professional athlete, it was enough for Xu Gaoyi to react.

He shot quickly, and the tip of the sword swung from Liang Xi's chest to his right shoulder, and he was sure to win!

However, what happened next shocked everyone...

The tip of Liang Xi's sword drew a circle clockwise in the air, and used the angle formed by the gauntlet and the blade itself to trap Xu Gaoyi's sword outside, and then jumped up from the ground!

Liang Xi jumped in the air, raised his sword, and threw it towards Xu Gaoyi's shoulder blade.The blade of the sword reflected a silver light in the air, and the resilient sword blade was swung by Liang Xi, bent into a perfect arc, and the tip of the sword touched Xu Gaoyi's back shoulder blade like a dragonfly.

drop--

The referee beeped, and the red color light indicating Liang Xi's score was on.

A perfect defensive catch.

The moment he landed, Liang Xi squeezed his chin at Xu Gaoyi: "I've offended you."

There was a burst of applause from the crowd, and several cheers.Shu Tongying was the most exaggerated, she jumped up and laughed: "Brother Liang Zi, you are amazing! Senior Xu, don't be ashamed of yourself hahahaha!"

Sword throwing is one of the most difficult moves in foil fencing. It requires extremely high arm strength and technique of the swordsman. A considerable number of people may not be able to learn such a move in their entire fencing career.

For the opponent to score with a sword swing, it can almost be said to be a kind of psychological suppression-the kind of jumping from the air is fatal. Moreover, the innermost shield of the fencing protective suit only protects the chest position. The tip of the sword was thrown on the shoulder blade with great force, the pain was enough to make one feel timid.

"you……"

Xu Gaoyi couldn't recover from the shock for a long time, he looked at Liang Xi through the black grid of the helmet, as if he wanted to see something from him.

He stretched out his hand to call a timeout, ignored the booing voices of the crowd, walked up to Liang Xi, and observed the boy in front of him through the black iron grid: "This Yuan Liu defends and throws a sword, very much like a person."

"This person is also here today."

Liang Xi's heart tightened suddenly, and the ferocity on the field was like a leaking balloon, and it was cleared up all at once.

He tilted his head, eyes widening in disbelief.

The man bent one leg, leaned against the wall, held a sword in his hand, and kicked it to the ground. He was wearing a helmet and a full set of protective clothing... The collar was habitually unzipped.

Through the heavy helmet, Liang Xi couldn't see his face, but he knew that the man was looking at him... Lu Mingchuan was looking at him.
