It was drizzling down on the steel roof, making a ticking sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Underneath the info roof is a high-powered searchlight, and under the bright light, there is a dark red hardwood floor.

As a semi-military medical research institution, Yog Chenguang Gymnasium not only has the most cutting-edge medical equipment, but also has the most complete exercise facilities, and Chenguang Gymnasium is one of them. In fact, Chenguang Stadium is a very modern basketball hall, in addition to the high-quality basketball court in the center, the stadium is also equipped with a seat that can accommodate 10,000 people.

But now, out of these 10,000 seats, 9,999 are empty, and the remaining one is occupied by Nie Kai.

Of course, Nie Kai was not watching a ball game, he was not interested in basketball in the first place, even if Ou occasionally watched a ball game on a whim, he would definitely not be as engrossed as he is now.

On the basketball court of Nuoda, there are actually only two figures, a man and a woman, the man is dressed in loose denim and holds a three-foot long knife in his hand, and the woman is wearing a pale green tennis skirt and a white T-shirt, and in her left and right hands, she is holding a short knife with a length of one foot.

The sound of swords clashing and shoes rubbing against the wooden floor resounded on the pitch. In a fierce contest, the girl is seen spinning around the boy like a butterfly, jumping and slashing at the same time. The boy stood in the middle of the court like a stone statue, changing his posture and raising his sword to parry, and fighting back from time to time

。

It's also a battle of strength and skill. The girl's movements are light and gorgeous, and every time she swings a knife, it seems to be dancing. Presumably to maximize the power of her body's inertia, she is particularly fond of swinging her knife in a spin. With each spin, the pale green hem of her skirt bloomed like a flower, revealing two slender, straight legs. The boy is the complete opposite, his slash is already full of power, so he doesn't make any superfluous movements, just slashes. There is only one style of his slashing, steady, accurate, and ruthless. He stood there steadily, every time he saw the girl's knife come at him

, and he slashed it back.

The girl obviously didn't want to fight the boy at first, so every time her slash was blocked by the boy, she would immediately withdraw the power in her hand and swing away lightly. Then look for an opportunity to attack again. The girl tried again and again, wandered away, and the boy defended again and again, counterattacking.

Finally, the girl seemed to realize that she had absolutely no chance of playing tricks in the face of the boy's tight defenses. So, when the two knives clashed again, she used all her strength.

Dazzling sparks erupted on the field, and the girl's two knives slashed at the boy's long knife at the same time, and the boy showed a solemn look for the first time.

The girl was finally pushed out by the boy, but after only 3 meters of exit, the girl steadied herself, and she once again exerted her strength and pounced straight at the boy.

The girl jumped, spun, and the pale green skirt bloomed like a flower again. At the same time, she slashed down with her right hand in the spin with a short knife. The boy immediately blocked it with a horizontal knife, and the two men's knives clashed again. The boy's arms were rock-solid, but the girl's slashes also fused with the strength of her whole body.

The boy's hand trembling slightly, and the girl's knife slashed against the boy's knife. But the girl's attack did not end, and she still had a knife in her left hand. The girl continued to spin, and the second knife immediately slashed down at almost the same angle. The boy barely met the attack, but due to his lack of preparation, he was unable to completely block the slash. The boy stepped back for the first time.

The girl didn't intend to give the boy a chance to breathe, and immediately followed up with a double knife cross, cutting the boy's waist crosswise. The boy was already sweating on his forehead, and he instinctively wanted to retreat, but as soon as his feet were raised, he suddenly found that he had retreated to the edge of the white circle.

On the dark red wooden floor, a circle with a radius of two meters was drawn in white chalk, and the boy had not left this circle from the beginning of the battle until now. This circle seems to be his domain.

It has been said that every weapon has a circle, a knife has a sword circle, and a sword has a sword circle. The long knife in the boy's hand is close to 1 meter, and his arm span is just about two meters, so when he wields the long knife, the attack range is a circle with a radius of two meters, and any opponent who enters this circle will be subjected to his attack.

The boy was going to keep the girl out of the circle, but now, the circle has been breached. In fact, if he takes one more step back, he will lose this circle.

The boy jerked to his feet as he plunged his long knife straight into the ground. The sharp long knife pierced the solid wood floor, and the girl's double knives slashed at the long knife's body at the same time.

There was a sharp sound, and Nie Kai had to cover his ears. The next moment, the long knife broke, but the girl's double knives were inexhaustible.

The boy finally changed color, and immediately abandoned the circle under his feet and retreated. But it seemed to be a step too late, and at the last moment, the short knife slashed against the boy's abdomen, leaving a cut of more than ten centimeters on his denim jacket.

The boy retreated, and the girl chased after him.

"Stop!" the boy shouted, "Xiaoxue, if you're just looking for a punching bag, you should go find a piece of wood." ”

Song Xiaoxue stood up suddenly, and then suddenly collapsed on the floor as if she had lost her strength.

"Old Yang, do you think I'm useless?" she said, "I can't find my brother, and I can't protect Qiya." ”

Mr. Yang was stunned, quietly looked at Song Xiaoxue who was dejected, and couldn't help sighing. "You've worked hard. ”

He said.

"But I'm not good enough!"

"What's that? No one can be perfect, you just have to do a little bit better. ”

"A little?"

Song Xiaoxue stood up.

"Yes, a little. That's what I say to myself every day. Mr. Yang laughed, "Do you know why I stayed in Yog?"

"Because you're interested in the Old Gods?"

"Old God, to be honest, I'm not interested in those things at all. ”

Mr. Yang said disdainfully, throwing the half-cut knife in his hand into the distance.

"Is that to make money? Honestly, the treatment here is okay. ”

"Making money? I'm less interested in money than the Old Gods. It's not like you don't know that half of my monthly salary is spent by myself, and then half by the fat man. ”

"You are indeed a freak!"

"Haha, that's what my dad said about me!"

Song Xiaoxue shook her head helplessly. "Okay, so why the hell are you staying here?"

"For your brother's sake. ”

Song Xiaoxue felt the corners of her eyes twitch.

"Don't tell me you like my brother!"

"What if I say yes?" said Mr. with a wicked smile on his face.

"Then you can tell my knife!" Song Xiaoxue's willow eyebrows were upside down, and the left and right knives struck each other, making a pleasant soft sound.

Mr. Yang took several steps back.

"Don't, don't, don't, Xiaoxue, you know I'm joking!"

"I can pretend not to know. ”

"I'm not gay!"

"Not necessarily. ”

"I'm staying here to defeat your brother!"

Song Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment.

"You have a grudge against my brother?"

Before I met your brother, I never thought that the gap between people would be so big. At that time, I had already studied under several kendo masters, and I thought I had learned something. But when I faced your brother, I didn't even pull out the knife, and his knife was already up to my neck. ”

Mr. Yang said, his fists clenched so tightly that he could see the green tendons on the back of his hands.

"Damn, didn't you say before that you only lost my brother's move?"

Song Xiaoxue jumped up.

"That's right, your brother has only made one move from beginning to end. ”

"You're so shameless!"

"Hmph, whatever you want, I'm telling the truth anyway. ”

"I've got you. Song Xiaoxue said helplessly, "However, do you think you will be able to defeat him if you stay in Youge?"

"Absolutely! I just need to improve a little bit every day. Mr. Yang said, his eyes shining with unparalleled confidence.

Song Xiaoxue looked at this confident boy, and suddenly felt a little feeling in her heart.

"Lao Yang, do you think I've made progress?"

She said.

"You've improved so much!" Mr. Yang said, counting his fingers, "If I'm not mistaken, you've been learning from me for less than six months, but I can barely handle your attack." ”

"Really?"

"Really!" Mr. Yang pointed to the ground, "You see you've completely pushed me out of that circle." ”

Song Xiaoxue immediately smiled.

"So what's wrong with my knife technique?"

"No, invulnerable!"

Song Xiaoxue couldn't help frowning.

"Are you perfunctory to me?"

Mr. Yang scratched his head.

"Well, if I have to say it, there's actually a point. You're still jumping too much. Every time you jump, that's when you're at your emptiest, because if someone else attacks you, there's probably no way to dodge it. ”

"But, if I don't do that, my attack won't have power! If my attack doesn't have enough power, how can I defeat the enemy?" Song Xiaoxue said, looking puzzled.

"Strength?" Mr. Yang sighed. "Xiaoxue, you are too deeply influenced by me. It's true that in the past few years, I've been more and more inclined to pursue the power of slashing in my kendo studies, but that's because of my ability. You know, when I condense the high-velocity vibrating air onto the blade, I can easily cut through steel. However, it was not easy to condense such an air blade, so in order to achieve the same effect without an air blade, I began to pursue power. ”

"Isn't that right?"

"I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after looking at Liu Tianyi's sword, I realized that I was wrong. The most important factor in kendo has never been strength, but speed and accuracy. Do you remember Liu Tianyi's sword? His sword can't use strength at all, but his sword is very fast and accurate. I remember when he was in Yangshan Harbor, he was even able to send his sword into the bones of those monsters in a flash of lightning, can you imagine how difficult it was?"

"Liu Tianyi?" Song Xiaoxue frowned, "Do you still care about losing to him that day?"

"No, I'll admit he's better than me right now, but I'm going to win him sooner or later, and right now, I just can't figure out what he's capable of. ”

"Why are you so confident?"

"Why are you so much, why?"

Song Xiaoxue laughed.

"Last question, I don't understand why you taught me knife techniques in the first place. ”

Mr. Yang was silent for a while, and suddenly said faintly: "Because I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for your brother to come back." Xiaoxue, you have only been in Yog for 1 year, and in these 1 years, Yog can basically be regarded as calm, even the most serious Yangshan Port crisis, we have all retreated. However, you must know that the path that Yog has taken is really not peaceful. In fact, in the four years since I entered Yug, including your brother, the second group has lost 4 people, and these 4 people are still uncertain. Maybe one day, I will never come back, and at that time, you will be tasked with helping me defeat your brother!"

Song Xiaoxue pouted.

"This joke you're telling isn't funny at all!" she said.

"Ahh ”

Mr. Yang smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, if you lose it one day, I'll teach you a lesson. Song Xiaoxue said with a big grin. She paused, then suddenly turned her head and said, "Nie Kai, if I lose it one day, can you shoulder this heavy responsibility?"

"Me?" Nie Kai jumped up, "What's the matter with me? I don't know how to use a knife at all!"

"Well, people never show up. Mr. Yang said, "Do you know why I called you here today?"

"Why?"

Mr. Yang patted his head in annoyance. "I found that we could form a 'why' association. ”

He said indignantly.

Song Xiaoxue burst out laughing. "We called you here because from tomorrow, Mr. Yang will not come, so his position will be up to you. ”

"What, do you want me to stand in that circle and cut you?" Nie Kai ran to Song Xiaoxue and Mr. Yang's side, "No, no, I don't think I can even stop you with a knife, you might as well kill me now!"

"Young man, there is a saying, peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic. Our Xiaoxue is so beautiful, it's cheap for you to let her be a sparring partner!" Mr. Yang said earnestly, patting Nie Kai's shoulder.

Nie Kai's face was already so ugly and ugly. "You can't be serious, right? To be honest, letting me play with the fat man before was already a duck on the shelf, and now I am actually asked to play with a knife, which is not difficult for a strong man at all, not to mention that I will be cut against a master like Song Xiaoxue as soon as I come up, I will lose arms and legs if I am not careful! You definitely don't want a disabled team member, right?"

M Song Xiaoxue seemed to think hard for a while and said, "I don't care. ”

"Hmm...... I don't care. Mr. Yang said, "It's a big deal to have one more mouth to eat idle food, our group's budget should be able to sustain it, but if it doesn't work, I'll save a little more." ”

Nie Kai jumped up. "I have what I say! What do you say?

Song Xiaoxue and Mr. Yang happily high-fived. Then the vote is over, 2 to 1. She said.

"I hate democracy!" Nie Kai hugged his head and screamed.
