Chapter10

As in previous years, this year's Gym Challenge is still being held at the Municipal Gymnasium! On the day of the opening ceremony, the colorful flags fluttering outside the gymnasium were noisy, and the representative teams of each gymnasium held the sign of their own gymnasium, and marched into the center of the gymnasium.

The mayor speaks at the opening ceremony.

In the center of the venue, there were neatly standing teenagers and girls in snow-white uniforms. They are all full of spirit and upright, and all of them are expected to fight for the honor of their respective gyms!

Sitting in the crowded audience and looking at Ruobai, Yifeng and Xiuqin, who were standing in the center of the arena on behalf of the Songbai Gym, Baicao's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and there was blood surging in his chest.

In the past, she had been excited to watch the disciples of the Quansheng Gym because of the Gym Challenge, but she could only feel that atmosphere from a distance. Now that she is really on the scene, for the first time, she really feels the feeling of watching her partners compete on behalf of a collective, as if her blood is about to burn!

"Baicao, do you think we can make it to the semifinals this year?"

Holding Hyakkusa's arm tightly, when she heard the mayor announce the official start of the Gym Challenge, Xiaoying was so nervous that her muscles in her body became stiff. She is really looking forward to and scared, she is looking forward to Songbai being able to go all the way to the finals, and even miraculously win the championship! However, last year, Songbai didn't even qualify for the group stage, so he left the field early in frustration, maybe it would be good to be able to enter the semi-finals this time, after all, Senior Sister Xiuqin's strength is slightly weaker than Senior Sister Chuwei.

"Yes!"

Baicao nodded vigorously.

"Why?"

Hearing her affirmation, Xiaoying suddenly became excited.

"Because if the white seniors they won't lose."

During this time, she watched Ruobai practice with all her strength every day, and she believed that those hard work and sweat would never be in vain!

"That's right! We will win! Xiaoying clenched her fists and said confidently to the cheerleaders around her, "Are you ready?" At the beginning of the game, we will come out in a state of winning and cheer for the pine! ”

"Yes! You ready! ”

They held the colored balls in both hands and answered with a hundred times more energy.

As soon as the opening ceremony is over, the first round of competition will begin. The entire Gym Challenge is divided into three stages, the preliminaries, the semi-finals and the finals. Except for the previous champion, the Kenbu Dokan, who directly entered the semi-finals, all the other dojos must first go through the preliminaries stage.

The preliminaries were played in a round-robin group format, with 75 teams outside the Kenbu Dokan divided into eight groups. The top seven groups, each group of ten teams, the final competition points ranked in the top two teams qualified for the semi-finals. Group 8 will have only five teams and will only produce one qualifier.

In the end, with the addition of the Kenbu Dokan, a total of sixteen teams will enter the semi-finals.

As soon as the results of the lottery came out, the disciples of the Songbai Daoist Hall couldn't help but rejoice! Among the nine teams in the same group as the Songbai Gym, only one of the Sunrise Gyms, which reached the quarterfinals last year, was assigned to them, and the other eight teams were all average in strength.

That is to say!

There is a great hope that Songbai will enter the semi-finals this year! Even if you lose to the Sunrise Dojo, as long as you can make it to the top two in the group, you can enter the semi-finals!

The first battle of this year's Shobai Gym Challenge was against Kaikuan Gym.

Yifeng and Haikuan, a male disciple named Pingren, played the first game, and Baicao was surprised to find that Yifeng, who was standing on the official arena, was actually lazy in addition to a pair of eyes that were extremely sober. Pingren had a heart to despise such a Yifeng, and was repeatedly counterattacked by Yifeng.

It turned out that the sleepy appearance as if she would fall asleep at any time was also a means of fighting for Yifeng, she sighed in her heart.

Xiuqin, who was about to play the second game, and Ruobai, who was about to play the third game, were all standing on the sidelines, watching the battle between Yifeng and Heruhito with full attention. At the end of the first game of Yifeng and Pingren, Yifeng took the lead by three points, Xiuqin was obviously relieved, Ruobai handed Yifeng a bottle of water, and whispered something to Yifeng, Yifeng nodded while listening.

"Shobai Gym! Win all battles! ”

"Shobai Gym! Go ahead! ”

Waving colorful balls, the teammates of Baicao and the cheerleading team, led by Xiaoying, enthusiastically cheered for the Songbai Gym!

In the preliminary stage, in order to improve the atmosphere of the competition and learn from each other, the organizing committee of the competition has always adopted a free management method, allowing the disciples of each gym to watch the battle at close range at the side of their respective venues without interfering with the normal progress of the competition.

So in addition to the players in the competition, the cheerleading teams of each gym became the most dazzling store in the gymnasium. The cheerleaders of the Songbai Gym led by Xiao Ying wore all snow-white uniforms and danced colorful flower balls, while the cheerleaders of the Haikuan Gym wore bright red short skirts and waved red garlands, which was very eye-catching.

"Come on! Come on! ”

"The sea is wide and wins! The sea is wide and wins! ”

The two cheerleading teams were like competing, and the cheering waves shouted higher and higher, and after a while, each cheerleader felt as if there was smoke in their throats, but they refused to show weakness at all and continued to cheer for their respective teams. It wasn't until the referee signaled for Yifeng and Pingren's second game to start that the two cheerleading teams temporarily suppressed their voices and continued to watch the game nervously.

In the second game, Yifeng fought more bravely, and Pingren gradually showed an invincible appearance, and by the end of the second game, Yifeng's score had led him by as much as seven points.

"Kaikuan Dokan! Never give up! ”

"Kaikuan Dokan! Turn the table! ”

Seeing that the Kaikuan Gym might lose the first game, their cheerleaders burst out with a high-flying sound, suppressing the sound of the Songbai cheerleaders.

"Shobai Gym! Invincible! ”

Xiaoying was anxious and shouted excitedly, Baicao was slightly stunned and hurriedly waved the colored ball with the other team members and shouted after her:

"Matsubai Dokan-!! Invincible in the world-!! ”

Ruobai, who was talking to Yifeng in a low voice, was attracted by the voice of the cheerleader, and there seemed to be a slight smile in his usual indifferent expression, Yifeng also laughed and stretched out his thumb to the cheerleaders, and the encouraged Songbai cheerleaders immediately surged with infinite strength, and cheered even more!

Bai Caoyuan was a little embarrassed to shout such an arrogant slogan as invincible in the world, but seeing that Xiaoying led everyone to shout all kinds of slogans, he couldn't care so much. She shouted loudly, waving colored balls to change the formation with the rhythm of the players, her brain couldn't think much, she just felt that the whole person had been ignited by the atmosphere of the arena!

In the third game, Yifeng continued to dominate and finally won the first victory of this year's Songbai Gym Challenge with a score of 9 to 1!

"Wow, Senior Brother Yifeng-!"

The members of the cheerleading team and the other disciples of the Songbai Gym excitedly hugged Yifeng who had finished the game and cheered! The first battle was won, what a good start this is, this must indicate that this year's pine and cypress will achieve great results!

The next match against Haikuan Dokan was Xiuqin, she didn't play as smoothly and easily as Yifeng, and at the end of the second game, she was actually overtaken by her opponent by one point. The hearts of all the Songbai disciples who watched the battle tightened, Baicao tightly grasped the colored ball in his hand, Xiaoying was stunned, and even forgot to lead the cheerleading team to cheer, until Baicao stabbed her, and then shouted like waking up from a dream-

"Senior Sister Xiuqin! Come on! ”

"Come on!! Come on!! ”

The cheerleaders burst out of their throats with all their strength, and they can't wait to pour that power into Xiuqin's body and help her!

There was no danger, Xiuqin finally won by two points, and the last one to play was Ruobai.

This is the first official competition that Hyakusa has seen Wakashi.

Dressed in a snow-white robe with a black belt around his waist, a pair of eyes faintly looked at the opponent who had nervously pulled out the stance, and his face was expressionless as usual.

"You see, the man has already lost."

As soon as the referee announced the start of the first game, Xiaoying excitedly leaned over to Baicao and whispered. Yes, Baicao also thinks so, although the two people on the field have not officially launched an attack, but under Ruobai's seemingly calm but condensed momentum, that Haikuan's disciple has been so nervous that the rhythm of his steps is out of order.

There is no suspense if this game is won in vain.

Although Haikuan's cheerleaders had been relentlessly cheering for their partner, at the end of the second game, Ruobai suddenly unleashed a back kick with a ten-point lead, knocking the man to the ground.

The referee announced that Wakabai won by KO!

"Senior Brother Ruobai!"

"Senior Brother Ruobai!!"

Songbai's disciples rushed over excitedly, hugging Ruobai tightly and cheering as if they had just hugged Yifeng and Xiuqin, oh my God, it's KO to win! In the first battle of this year's Gym Challenge, the Shobai Gym won with such a perfect result!

The victory in the first battle seemed to unfold a brilliant picture in front of all the Songbai disciples! Perhaps, this year's Songbai can go all the way to the semifinals, the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and even, maybe even have a fight with the Kenbu Dokan!

Looking at the excited faces of the partners around him with bright smiles, although Baicao did not hug Ruobai like them, his heart was also excited for a long time before he slowly calmed down. Because she had been desperately shouting and cheering just now, she felt a burning pain in her throat at this moment, she went to the sidelines and bent down to get her own water bottle, and when she looked up, she saw that the cheerleaders of the Haikuan Gym were gloomily putting away the bright red garlands in their hands.

The disciple of Haikuan, who lost to Ruobai, sat down on the mat of the game, lowered his shoulders, and Haikuan's coach patted him and said:

"It's just that I lost a game, it's so listless, it's so unproductive!"

"Yes."

The disciple wiped his face with the back of his hand and stood up.

"Cheer up, we have to fight against the Sunrise Dojo in the next battle, we can only win and not lose!" Haikuan's coach raised his voice and said, and the surrounding Haikuan disciples immediately cheered up and replied loudly:

"Yes!"

Those voices were full of power, as if the fighting spirit had been rekindled!

His gaze was withdrawn from that side, and Baicao's chest was stunned and sour. She still remembered that in the past, every year the disciples of the Quansheng Gym would spend a whole year preparing for the Gym Challenge, but they lost badly every year, and they never entered the semi-finals.

She is like a shadow in the Quansheng Gym, no one will tell her how the Quansheng Gym lost, she can only feel that the atmosphere in the gym is dead and silent every year after losing, as if something is dead.

This year, she was finally able to see the challenge in person.

But he was standing in the line of the Songbai Gym.

Closing her eyes, she craned her neck and gulped down water, trying to drive away the gloom that suddenly came up in her heart.

"Let's go, let's go watch another game!"

The first match between the Songbai Gym and the Kaikuan Gym was the first match in Group 6, and there were some matches from other Gyms to follow. Ruobai, Yifeng, and Xiuqin continued to stay there to observe the competition in the same group of gyms, but Xiaoying, Ah Yin, and Pingping put away the colored balls, and happily shouted to Baicao to hurry up and watch the matches of other groups of first-class gyms.

"Okay."

Stuffing the kettle into their school bag again, Baicao followed them forward. The gymnasium was crowded, and they were walking, when a group of disciples came in front of them, and they flashed to the side, and the group of disciples walked past them in unusually silence.

Baicao was stunned.

That's the team of the Quansheng Gym. Strangely, she found that Senior Sister Li Lan, who had been representing the Quansheng Gym in the competition, was not inside, but Guangya was wearing a competition uniform, and her eyes were slightly red and walking behind Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Brother Zhonghe.

Is it a loss?

Although she was kicked out of the Quansheng Gym, although they never recognized her, at this moment, seeing them silent and depressed one by one, her heart was suddenly painful, and she couldn't breathe.

"Humph!"

At this time, Zheng Yuanhai had already seen her, he glanced at the disciples of the Songbai Daoist Hall beside her, and snorted heavily. So like Zheng Yuanhai, whenever she walked by Baicao's side, the disciples of the Quansheng Daoist Hall glared at her fiercely and spit on her without exception, as if the loss and anger in their hearts had finally found an outlet.

"Traitor!"

"Shameless!"

"Phew!"

Blinded by those cold eyes on his body, hearing those disdainful voices, Baicao, who was dodging beside him, bit his lip tightly, restrained the trembling of his body, and tried his best to ignore it. She is no longer in the Quansheng Daoist Hall, it was Uncle Zheng who drove her out, and it was the Songbai Daoist Hall who took her in. How is the Quansheng Gym now, and what their attitude is towards her, she shouldn't need to care anymore.

But......

Why did she still feel so sad when she saw Guangya snorting coldly and walking in front of her.

"Hey, Pingping, did the Quansheng Gym lose?"

Seeing Baicao, whose face was a little pale in silence, Xiao Ying was angry and deliberately said loudly. How could she not know that Baicao was sad after being at the same table for so long? It's too much! Bullied Baicao when she was in the Quansheng Gym, and she was not allowed to participate in any big or small event, and now Baicao is no longer in the Quansheng Gym, and she is still bullied by them!

"Really? I...... I don't know, hey......" Seeing that the disciples of the Quansheng Gym all glared at each other with gloomy faces when they heard their conversation, Pingping was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Hehe, in fact, you can see it at a glance." Xiao Ying smiled and pretended to lower her voice, but in fact, anyone could hear that voice clearly, "Look at their expressions, they are like defeated roosters, if they don't lose, will they win!" ”

"Uh...... Uh......"

Pingping grabbed Xiaoying's arm in fear, for fear that the disciples of the Quansheng Gym would rush over and beat them.

"What do you say! What's wrong with losing! Won't you lose a single battle in the Songbai Gym?! ”

Guangya walked out of the group, glared at Xiaoying angrily, and then glared at Baicao, who was speechless, and shouted with anger:

"Why do you still have the face to stand here! betrayed the Quansheng Gym and threw himself into the door of the Songbai Gym, can he laugh at us so arrogantly?! From childhood to adulthood, who provided you with food, shelter, school, and practice, you actually betrayed the Quansheng Gym with a turn of face! Qi Baicao, you traitor! ”

"Please, which ear did you hear her! You sneered at her just now, but she still didn't say a word, what do you want her?! I'm the one who laughs at you, don't blame the grass for it! ”

Xiaoying was also angry, stood up in front of Baicao, and said like a cannon:

"What kind of traitor, who doesn't know that you were exposed for playing tricks, and you drove Baicao out of the Quansheng Gym in anger! You don't want a hundred grasses, don't you allow other dojos to welcome a hundred grasses? ”

"You-!"

Guangya choked with anger, but she still didn't look at Xiaoying, just stared at Baicao and said, "I thought that even if everyone in the world looked down on him, at least you wouldn't betray him." But you're just like everyone else! ”

Baicao looked at her!

She heard it right. The sadness in Guangya's voice was because she thought she had betrayed her master, so she was so angry.

"It was Master who took me into the Songbai Dao Hall."

Originally, she didn't want to explain anything, since she was a child, she had long been used to being despised and wronged, but at this moment, she didn't want Guangya to misunderstand her.

"I don't believe it!" Guangya interrupted her without even thinking about it, "He's so ...... So...... Seeing you as hope, how could he be willing to let you worship under the door of another gym! Don't lie to anyone! ”

"It turned out that Senior Brother Qu asked you to switch to the Songbai Daoist Hall," Zheng Yuanhai snorted twice with a red face, "That's right, our small temple can't keep your big Buddha, of course, if you can climb the Songbai Daoguan, you don't have to deal with our Quansheng Daoist Hall, okay, very good!" Walk! ”

After saying that, he left angrily.

The disciples of the Quansheng Daoist Hall glared at Baicao again with resentment, and hurriedly walked away after Zheng Yuanhai, and Guangya didn't even bother to look at Baicao anymore.
