The next day, the Duke Fencing Club welcomed a guest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This person is about 1.77 or 78 meters tall, and his eyes are very bright and bright.

According to Xiao Tian, the visitor's name is Zhao Sheng, who is the runner-up in the men's sabre group in the 2016 fencing club league finals.

Zhao Shengting gave face, and Xiao Tian said hello and he came over.

Although Zhao Sheng and Xiao Tian are their own masters, they have a good personal relationship. The 2017 fencing club league has not yet started, and now it is an off-season, Xiao Tian called Zhao Sheng and said that our boss wants to find a saber master to compete, you can come and have fun. Zhao Sheng's Shencheng Hongbo Fencing Club is located in the city next door to Nangang, and it takes an hour to walk on the highway.

"Hello Zhao Sheng, welcome Pingyuan Jun." Du Ke warmly received Zhao Sheng, the name of the domestic league sabre runner-up is exactly the same as that of Pingyuanjun in the Warring States period.

Du Dong said with a smile. After Zhao Sheng saw Du Ke, he was modest and polite.

"Then let's practice?" Duke gets straight to the point.

Zhao Sheng: "Okay." "There isn't much nonsense between swordsmen, just practice.

There are more than one billion people in China and 58 registered formal fencing clubs. France, a fencing powerhouse, has a population of more than 60 million and 750 registered fencing clubs.

Whether it is the number or the level of the club, there is still a considerable gap between China's professional fencing and the world's powers.

The Chinese Fencing Club League has just finished its 7th season of competition, and the 8th season has not yet begun. And the professional fencing league in Europe has a history of nearly 100 years.

The China Fencing Club League has five regular seasons in a season, and six finals in a season. Professional fencers such as Oda and Zhao Sheng play six leagues a year, and the amount of competition is far from enough, so unofficial practice matches are usually organized between clubs.

Zhao Sheng was the runner-up in the men's sabre group of the professional fencing league last season, and he is one of the best sabre masters in China.

If he accompanied an ordinary boss to practice swords, Zhao Sheng probably wouldn't make a move.

What does it mean for a professional master to bully an amateur?

For the sake of money or other benefits, he befriended the local tyrant boss and played with the boss, and Zhao Sheng would not do it.

Speaking of being taller, Zhao Sheng has the dignity of a swordsman, he can't insult the spirit of chivalry, to be realistic, he is not very short of money, he is a rich second generation.

Zhao Sheng's father does business in the Shencheng Special Economic Zone, and his own father is the boss. Fencing in China is generally not very bad. Zhao Sheng chose to become a professional fencer because he loved the sport, and in a few years he might take his father's class and become a businessman, but now he enjoys fencing.

"Actually, I'm here for Duke." When he changed his fencing uniform, Zhao Sheng whispered to Xiao Tian beside him, and said: "I just want to see the style of a legendary superstar, I usually don't have the opportunity to contact this big demon king." Here, Oda, take care of my phone, wallet, and keys. ”

Zhao Sheng handed his important belongings to Xiao Tian and then put on his helmet.

"Yo, Porsche, local tyrant, have you changed cars again?" Oda plays with the Porsche car keys.

"Hmm." Zhao Sheng put on the helmet, and his voice came out through the metal mesh on the helmet mask, with a low-pitched muffled effect.

"Zhao Sheng, let me tell you, our Du Dong is very powerful, don't think that he is just looking for you to play." Oda reminded that his sabre skills are a little worse than Zhao's, who finished 21st overall in men's sabre last season.

"Oh." Zhao Sheng held his sword and went to the way of the sword.

At the other end of the No. 2 kendo, Du Ke, who had already changed his equipment, stood with his sword in his hand, and the head of the sword was pointing to the ground.

The New Year's Day holiday has ended, today is not a rest day, it is morning, and there are few students in the sword hall.

The few students, as well as the coach and the three professional fencers of the Duke Club, stopped training to watch the duke vs Zhao Sheng showdown.

Coach Liu stood in the open space between No. 2 and No. 1 kendo and acted as a referee.

"Try the sword!" Coach Liu snorted angrily.

In international fencing competitions, the referee issues signals in French, and professional fencers in non-French-speaking countries know a little French, at least the most basic fencing signals.

It doesn't matter if the training in China is exchanged, Coach Liu understands French, but he gives orders in Chinese.

Coach Liu sent a sword test signal, and Du Ke and Zhao Sheng in the kendo moved when they heard the order, and they walked to the dotted midline of the kendo and gently touched the opponent's upper arm with the sword body.

The official fencing competition uniformly uses an electric sword, which is also made of steel, and the sword is equipped with an induction piece made of special materials, and there are wires connected to the hilt of the sword.

The fencer pinned an annunciator to his fencing suit, which was about the size of a mobile phone, but thicker than a mobile phone. This set of electronic equipment can accurately and quickly determine who has scored, and makes the lights on the kendo light up so that the referees and spectators can see it at a glance.

Before the electric sword competition, two swords in hand bump each other to test whether the electronic scoring system is OK.

Du Ke and Zhao Sheng used ordinary swords, and they didn't use electronic signals, but the two of them still tested their swords according to the official competition procedures, which can be regarded as a kind of swordsman etiquette.

After trying the sword, Du Ke and Zhao Sheng each took a few steps back, their feet one step after the other, their knees bent, their center of gravity lowered, and the sword head pointed at each other, making an offensive gesture.

Coach Liu asked loudly, "Are you ready?" ”

Du Ke and Zhao Sheng didn't turn their heads or answer, they continued to maintain an offensive posture, tense and ready to go.

After the referee gave the signal "Are you ready?", the two fencers did not answer, but they were ready to go.

Coach Liu drank: "Let's start!" ”

After hearing the "start" signal, Du Ke stepped up with his sword and moved like a rabbit, and instantly killed Zhao Sheng's half of the area.

"What a quick footwork!" Zhao Sheng was shocked, he made a defensive sword shape, and kept retreating.

Du Ke's pace was swift and his sword was fierce, and he didn't fight Zhao Sheng, so he forced Zhao Sheng back six or seven meters.

The swordsman makes a direct and effective offensive and defensive action, and the two men fight each other in close combat, which is called a confrontation.

Confrontation is the most exciting moment in fencing, and it is necessary to go to the front to score points. Before the confrontation, a few false swords, tossing and turning, is called temptation.

Du Ke didn't try too much, he took Zhao Sheng straight with his sword and quickly took the initiative.

The kendo is 14 meters long, and the dotted line in the middle divides the kendo into two halves and a half of 7 meters.

Zhao Sheng was forced to the end of his own half by Du Ke, and there was no way to retreat!

"Du Dong's sword momentum is so strong!" Oda couldn't help but applaud.

In fantasy novels, you can often see the word "sword qi", and the masters who practice swords to the extreme, they have transformed from melee meat tan to long-range output professions, and they can urge sword qi to take the life of their opponents from a few miles away.

In contemporary society, there is no such long-range attack method as sword qi taking life, but in fencing, "sword momentum" exists.

Fast footwork and domineering sword shape can often bring out an unstoppable sword momentum.

The fierce sword Du Ke forced Zhao Sheng to the point where he could no longer retreat, and the instinct of a professional swordsman prompted Zhao Sheng to make a counterattack.

Zhao Sheng's right wrist holding the sword exerts force, quickly dials the sword to block, bell!

The two swordsmen finally exchanged heads-ups, sword to sword.

Zhao Shengge blocked Duke's pressing sword, and he made a successful defensive move.

"Footwork is important, but swordsmanship is even more crucial!" After parrying, Zhao Sheng immediately counterattacked, and he threw his sword directly into Du Ke's front chest.

The saber is flexible, and a flick can make the sword bar bend by a certain arc.

Sabre can use the action of "splitting", and any part of the sword bar can be scored by touching the opponent's head, torso, and arm, and the sword-throwing technique similar to whipping has become the main means of scoring in saber.

Zhao Sheng, who was cornered, was forced to fight back, and after successfully blocking, he found that Du Ke was fast in footwork, and the swordsmanship in his hand was very ordinary. I was almost scared out of bounds by the Great Demon King Du, but fortunately I held it. Playing with a sword still has to spell out, it's useless to scare people just by scaring people.
