Chapter 4(3)
On the second day after Baicao officially joined the Songbai Gym, the owner of the Yu Pavilion was invited to Canada to be a special guest instructor for the newly popularized taekwondo there. It will take a long time to go, and before leaving, the owner of the pavilion will hand over all the training and competition matters in the hall to Ruobai as before.
Before everyone could slack off because of Master's departure, Ruobai had already announced during the evening practice that an in-venue competition would be held this Saturday to select candidates to represent the Songbai Gym to participate in the Gym Challenge, including two male disciples and one female disciple.
Is it finally going to begin?!
The disciples of the Songbai Gym held their breath, is the annual Gym Challenge finally about to officially start?! Since last year's challenge ended in the second semi-final, they have been practicing tirelessly every day for nearly a year, and the practice field is sprinkled with sweat, and their long-awaited gym challenge is finally starting again!
From the moment Ruobai announced that there would be a stirring competition in the hall on Saturday, the disciples of the Songbai Dojo seemed to have been stimulated in their bodies!
"Ahh——!h
"Ah——!h
"Aha——!"
The shouts during the actual combat in the practice hall were many times higher than usual, and the strength of the disciples' kicks was much harder than usual!
The annual Gym Challenge is a holy war in the minds of every Gym disciple in Anyang!
Especially for the disciples of the Songbai Gym, in the past few years, the Songbai Gym has gradually become a second-rate gym in Anyang, and the Gym Challenge is their only chance to revive the majesty of Songbai! In the previous editions of the Gym Challenge, every time I worked hard to reach the rematch, I was quickly lost and eliminated, but this time-
It should be different!
Not only the other disciples of the Songbai Dojo Hall were like this, but even Xiao Ying was no longer lazy and late for training as before, and she was engrossed in the practice, and after a day of training, her legs were bruised everywhere.
"It hurts!"
Xiaoying screamed in pain, but Baicao ignored her and continued to bow her head to help her rub the wounds on her legs with medicinal oil. Speaking of which, this was the first time she had seen Xiaoying practice so seriously.
"Tap! Tap! Ah, it's painful, okay, it's almost there! ”
Xiaoying shouted in a mess, and finally saw Baicao raise her head, plug the stopper of the medicine oil bottle, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't stuff it, don't plug it, I haven't helped you wipe it yet!" ”
"No, I'm going to practice again soon."
Baicao smiled, wiped his hands, sat on the edge of the bed and began to change his clothes. At school, she has already finished all her homework during recess, and when she returns to the gym, she can concentrate on practice. Although Yifeng's predecessor looked lazy, as long as she expressed the idea of wanting to practice for a while, he would always accompany her to practice. She wanted to practice more tonight, and after Yifeng found out, she actually agreed to practice with her.
I felt a little uneasy.
She understood that she had disturbed Yifeng's senior's rest.
However, she really wanted to practice more. Master has always said that she has too little experience in actual combat, and now it is rare to have a master like Yifeng's predecessor to accompany her in actual combat, and she doesn't want to waste such a good opportunity.
"Oh, then you go, I can't do it, it hurts so much that I can't walk a step." Xiaoying leaned down on the bed and suddenly smiled and said, "Baicao, do you know, I really like the annual Gym Challenge!" It's as if everyone's hearts in the gym are tightly twisted together, and they are desperately working hard for the same goal! ”
How could she not know?
Although the Gym was at the bottom of every Gym Challenge, and he had never even broken into the semi-finals, even so, Baicao remembered that before each challenge, all the teachers and disciples would do their best to practice and prepare. Although the strength of the Quansheng Gym is poor and is looked down upon by other Gyms, the heart that wants to win is no worse than any Gym.
It's just that she never had the chance to participate.
"Actually, I know that I can't go to the challenge on behalf of the Songbai Gym, but I still want to cheer up for my brothers and sisters," Xiao Ying said as she lay on the bed with her eyes shining, "It seems that if I practice hard for a while, I can make the atmosphere of preparation more enthusiastic!" ”
Yes.
In the past two days, watching the disciples around him practice hard, as if there was a fire burning, every cell in Baicao's body was also aroused.
"By the way, Baicao, I won't show mercy!" Xiao Ying suddenly said very strictly, "Although I am good friends with you, I will do my best to defeat you when I compete on Saturday!" ”
"Okay, I will too." She nodded.
No matter how good a friend is, as long as you stand on the field, you are an opponent, and concentrating on the game is the greatest respect for your opponent and friend. Master has always taught her this.
"Hahaha, oops, I'm so excited when I think of Saturday's in-hall selection competition! No, I can't sit still, Baicao, I'll go and practice with you for a while! Xiao Ying got up from the bed and changed into a robe.
In order to prepare for Saturday's selection competition in the hall, the disciples of the Songbai Daoist Hall got up early and practiced greedily at night, and Baicao was one of the hardest trained.
She got up before dawn.
The night was already very dark, all the disciples had slept, Yifeng really couldn't hold it anymore to go to sleep, she was still practicing in the practice hall.
The lights in the practice hall seemed to be on all night.
On several occasions, Wakahaku stood in the shadows next to the paper door, staring at the girl on the mat in a patched and washed-out robe.
Her face was covered with sweat.
Black hair was drenched in sweat and stuck to her face.
Her eyes were stubborn and focused, fixed on somewhere in the air, as if that was what she was going to attack! Spin around! Flying legs! Over and over again, dozens of times, hundreds of times repeating the same leg movement!
Ruobai's appearance and departure, Baicao did not notice it at all.
She just hated that time was too short!
If you give her an extra day to practice, if the day could be longer! However, time always flies by!
It was already Friday afternoon.
As soon as school ended, Baicao hurriedly picked up his schoolbag and walked out, and the earlier he returned to the gym, he could start practicing earlier. I don't know why, she suddenly became more and more nervous about tomorrow's selection competition, and always felt that her legs were not fast enough and not strong enough.
She still needs to practice more.
This is the opportunity she has been waiting for for so many years, and she finally hopes to participate in the Gym Challenge, even if this hope is slim, she can't miss it!
However, why is it that there are so many people on campus today, and it is difficult to get out of the crowded crowd? Oops, she was going back to the gym in a hurry, struggling to squeeze forward through the gap in the crowd, and Baicao was a little anxious.
"What's going on?"
Xiaoying also wants to hurry back to the gym, and it will be a while if she can practice for a while. What's wrong today, the middle school and the high school are in different districts, although eventually you have to walk out of the school gate along the main road, the crowd will become more crowded, but it has never been as crowded and bustling as it is today!
Taking a deep breath, Baicao pressed down the impatience in her heart, and the master had warned her many times that her temper was too impatient and too impulsive, which was a taboo in practicing taekwondo.
"It's there."
After calming down, she saw what was causing the crowd to be blocked. More than ten meters away from the school gate, students gathered together as if they were surrounded by something, and the number of people gathered more and more, blocking the road.
In the distance, shouts of excitement and excitement can be heard from the crowd from time to time.
It's as if the stars are coming.
Maybe it's really a star, because even though she can't see what kind of person is surrounded by the crowd from such a distance, she can still feel the aura that emanates from there that makes people want to get closer.
When she and Xiaoying finally squeezed out of the gate of the school, returned to the Songbai Dao Hall, finished cleaning, changed into a robe, trotted all the way, and ran to the practice hall to gather, she felt the same aura again.
Baicao looked into the practice hall suspiciously.
In the past few days, the disciples of the Songbai Daoist Hall, who had been practicing intensely every day for the selection competition in the hall, had not even started practicing, just like those students at the gate of the campus, surrounded by people she didn't know, and rushed to speak enthusiastically.
She couldn't see the appearance of the two people inside, she could only see that it was a teenager and a young girl. Even if you look at it vaguely, you can see that it is a very outstanding person, and the dazzling light shines through the heavy encirclement, as if it is about to burn people's eyes.
Wakabai stood outside the crowd.
His body was tall and graceful, looking down at the ground, his expression was still faint, as if he didn't pay attention to the two people who were surrounded. However, Baicao always felt that there was something different about him.
I couldn't help but stare at Ruobai.
This kind of Ruobai is different from the Ruobai she usually sees, although it still looks indifferent and distant, but it seems that from his fingers to his back, every cell in his body is tense.
Ruobai raised his head.
He glanced at her, his eyes cold and indifferent.
Baicao hurriedly looked away, and suddenly felt as if he had invaded someone else's privacy.
"I said, it turned out to be Brother Tinghao and Sister Tingyi!" Xiao Ying's excited voice came from the innermost layer of the encirclement, "No wonder the whole school is a sensation, you have been to Korea for a long time this time, have you learned a lot in the Changhae Dokan in South Korea?" ”
"What can you learn in Changhai," was Chu Wei's voice, "Those people in Changhai can't be the opponent of Brother Tinghao at all." ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! ”
The disciples of the Songbai Dojokan remembered the battle of Kim Min-joo at the Changhae Dokan last time.
"Changhai Daokan is nothing remarkable!"
"A few days ago, the Changhai Daoist Hall came to communicate with us, and we beat people upside down!"
"A female disciple of the Changhai Daoist Pavilion couldn't beat us, and she cried!"
"Yes! Oh, yes! ”
"At their level, four or five at the same time can't be the opponent of Ting Hao's predecessors! Maybe it was Changhai Daoguan who found that our taekwondo level was improving too fast, and he was about to be unable to beat us, so he invited Tinghao's seniors and Tingyi's seniors to communicate with each other, wanting to steal the teacher! ”
"That's right! Definitely! ”
"Before my brother and I came, I heard about it at the Changhai Gym." The girl's voice was elegant and soft, like a pleasant spring breeze gently blowing across the water, "It was a girl named Baicao who defeated Kim Min-joo, right?" ”
"Hey, Sister Tingyi, you also know!!" Xiaoying said happily, "It's the Kim Min-joo that Baicao defeated, Baicao is amazing, she's ......."
"Ah, Baicao, you're here!" Suddenly, when she turned her head and saw Baicao standing outside the crowd, Xiaoying hurriedly beckoned to her, "Come in!" Come on in! This is Brother Tinghao and Sister Tingyi of the Xianwu Gym! You've heard their names before, right? ”
With Xiao Ying's wave, the disciples of the Songbai Gym dodged a crack, and Baicao saw the two people who had been heard in legends, Ting Hao of the Xianwu Gym and his sister Tingyi.
It was the first time she had seen them in person.
The boy was as handsome and dazzling as the sun, and his eyes were bright in her eyes. She was stunned, but he laughed, as if he had seen a very interesting person.
The girl was another light, as soft and gentle as the moon, and smiled kindly at her standing outside the crowd, and asked:
"You're Baicao?"
