The weather was gloomy, Shi Lan still came to the backyard of Yelan's house, continued to train, and Keqing was also waiting here early.

He had already completed most of the training that Keqing had arranged for Shi Lan, and he had made rapid progress, and his basic skills were solid, not like a rookie who had only been in martial arts for half a month.

At present, Shi Lan's main training has progressed to the point of sparring with Keqing, and the sandbag forest and drip stand have been dismantled.

Although he looks very powerful, in the sparring with Keqing, Shi Lan has not won a single battle.

In the martial arts training field, Shi Lan was beaten by Keqing, who was holding a wooden sword, and was embarrassed.

As soon as his punch is punched, Keqing will be broken, and Keqing will always break Shi Lan's attack at an incredible angle, the wooden sword against the armpit, or the elbow.

Just like Keqing said, the sword is like an eye, as far as the eye can see, and the sword light can reach.

Although it was a drill, Keqing didn't mean to let him at all.

But this kind of high-intensity battle has benefited Shi Lan a lot.

"What are you looking at?" Ke Qing snorted coldly, and the wooden sword backhanded against Shi Lan's eyebrows

And Shi Lan stood there helplessly, looking frightened.

"I could still go a few rounds yesterday, why did I regress so much today?"

Keqing was very dissatisfied with Shi Lan's distraction in the battle, and after her training, this small problem of inattention had been completely solved.

Shi Lan didn't make a sound to defend herself, she still stood there awkwardly, her eyes peeking at Keqing from time to time, until the eyes of the two sides met, Shi Lan immediately turned away as a thief.

"What's wrong?" Keqing wondered.

She knew that Shi Lan had something on her mind today.

"If you have something, why are you so sneaky?"

Shi Lan scratched her head, very embarrassed: "I said Master Carving, do you know...... In the semi-finals of the tournament, your opponent is me? ”

To be honest, he didn't know that Keqing also participated in the tournament before the semi-finals.

It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that after he defeated his opponent, the referee told him that the semi-finals were held in Yuehai Pavilion, and his opponent was Miss Keqing.

When he heard the news, he was struck by lightning.

When did Keqing participate in the tournament? Why don't you know at all?

Forget about participating in the competition, it's such a coincidence that I ran into it!

To say that others themselves can still have some certainty, but Keqing ......

Without using the Vision of God, Shi Lan thought that the probability of being able to defeat Keqing was seventy-three.

This three was obtained by relying on his strength, after all, such a terrifying power, even Keqing could not be taken lightly.

Other than that, Shi Lan had no chance of winning. For no other reason, Keqing knew him too well.

Keqing has trained Shi Lan for more than half a month, and he knows his own strengths and weaknesses better than Shi Lan himself.

The bottoms are all made clear, how can this be played?

He didn't get a good night's sleep all night.

According to Hu Tao, Beidou has the meaning of taking himself on the boat, but if he can reach the finals and win the championship, his waist will be harder, isn't it?

But Keqing ......

How did you run into her?

Shi Lan finally knew what Kun Zhen called "for Keqing" because of it.

The kid who was in the mood for Keqing was in the competition......

If he loses that game, maybe Kun Zhen will really be able to reach the semifinals and meet Keqing.

"Your opponent is me, what's the problem?" Keqing's tone was very flat.

Shi Lan replied, "You're so powerful, aren't you......?" Miss, everyone, the martial arts tournament or something is fighting and killing, it will damage your image..."

"I've always been like this, and treating me as a delicate lady will suffer." Keqing doesn't care about the so-called image of the eldest lady.

"What the hell is the matter with you? Don't mother-in-law's. ”

Shi Lan shrunk her neck and twisted, "If you want to talk about that...... I mean, can you be in the game... A little...... Put that little bit ......"

"Put... Water? Keqing was a little suspicious of her ears.

"You asked me to release the water?"

"It's just a little bit......"

"Heh... Hehehe..."Ke Qing suddenly laughed, and then changed her face instantly: "Are you looking down on yourself, or are you insulting me?" ”

"I've been training for so many days, just to let you find me to release water during the competition?"

As if to match Keqing's mood, a bolt of lightning fell from the cloudy sky at this moment, and rolling thunder swept through.

In the distance, torrential rain poured in Shantou, and even lower dark clouds slowly advanced, enveloping Keqing's head.

Shi Lan didn't expect Keqing to be so sensitive to this kind of thing, and suddenly felt a little weak, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, I just want to..."

"I know!" Keqing took a deep breath to calm down and sneered, "You want to win the championship and then go to sea and leave Liyue?" Just use it this way? Fight an inglorious fight? ”

Ke Qing's thoughts were a little confused, she didn't expect Shi Lan to say such things to herself in order to be eligible to board the ship.

Actually came to let yourself release water......

Feel...... It's funny......

"How do you know I'm going to sea?"

Shi Lan was surprised, he remembered that he didn't seem to have told Ke Qing about it......

"Inazuma is in civil strife, there is no one in Mondstadt, and the gods of Sumeru can't be their own masters." Ke Qing didn't want to listen to Shi Lan's nonsense, so she said lightly, "The world outside is not such a stable garden in Liyue, and without the protection of the Rock King, no one will treat you outside as a matter of fact!" The joust is also a life-and-death duel. In the midst of chaos, will the enemy spare your life because of your prayers? ”

"But ......" Shi Lan wanted to say something.

Ke Qing's wrist turned, nailed the wooden sword to the ground, pointed at it, looked directly at Shi Lan with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Either you will defeat me in the Great Hall of the Martial Arts Competition." Either stay here for me honestly until the day you win mine! ”

Shi Lan still wanted to say something: "It's not that serious......"

"I said no!"

Rumble!

A thunderbolt rang out, Keqing's face was illuminated a little, and the bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell. Her hair was wet, and the purple ponytail she had grown for someone was drenched and drooping, clinging to her cheeks.

The two stood across from each other in the rain, staring directly at each other.

The atmosphere froze a little.

“………”

Shi Lan closed her eyes, calmed down, and slowly opened them again.

Put on a stance.

"Take the sword!"

He said.

Keqing silently drew his wooden sword.

Shi Lan spoke up again: "Take your own sword!" ”

Keqing's movements froze, and a nameless fire burned in his heart.

"Okay."

The Vision of God flickered, reflecting a starry sky, and in the constellation, Keqing drew his sword.

Zheng!

She wielded a long sword, the blade of which pointed diagonally at the muddy ground, and the rain slid across the smooth blade and dripped from the blade to the ground.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

"Drink—"

Shi Lan raised his fist to meet ......

After three or four rounds, Ke Qing's long sword was pointed at Shi Lan's eyebrows.

Despite the storm, the hand holding the sword did not shake in the slightest.

"It's so much better than just now."

"Don't underestimate me!!"

Shi Lan gritted his teeth, slapped Keqing's sword away, and swung a heavy fist, and the raindrops fell on the stinging dragon and were smashed into mist, and the momentum was violent.

Ke Qing didn't say a word, avoiding his edge, and after Shi Lan's three punches, he drew his sword with his backhand, and the sword body slapped Shi Lan's face fiercely, hitting him staggering and almost falling to the muddy ground.

Immediately after, she stabbed out another sword, and the rain was split in two, stabbing out a curtain of water, pointing directly at Shi Lan's eyebrows.

Someone slapped his face with a sword, and felt a hot pain on half of his face, which made Shi Lan feel very aggrieved, and in the face of the straight sword, he gritted his teeth and stood firm, stretched out his hands, and wanted to catch the white blade.

But Ke Qing wouldn't give him this opportunity, but there was some surprise that Shi Lan could make such a move.

The nameless fire in the heart is even better.

"Why are you so self-righteous!"

She suddenly withdrew her sword, raised her leg and kicked Shi Lan's chest, and the latter was forced to fly out by this kick, falling heavily into the mud.

"Take my sword, delusional!"

"Ahem......"

Shi Lan fell to the ground, spat out a mouth full of muddy water, and did not stand up again.

"I'm sorry......" his voice was a little weak.

“…………”

"But I must get out." Shi Lan raised her head, looked at Keqing who was soaked in the rain, and said seriously: "You can't stop my ......"

Keqing's face became extremely ugly.

He clenched his sword and moved his steps, muddy water splashing everywhere.

Shi Lan got up again.

A sword slashed at the stinging dragon, so powerful that it sparked in the torrential rain.

"You really ...... You're so self-righteous! ”

"Who do you think you are?"

"Do you think I'm competing to stop you? Why do you think you're qualified for me to do this! Why can you say such a thing to me?! ”

"You can, I can too! Can't I take the title of a teenage hero like you!? Opinionated! Opinionated! ”

The thunder was rolling and the rain was falling non-stop.

The sword was still pointed at Shi Lan's eyebrows.

Shi Lankong raised his hands and failed to take the sword.

Keqing stood in the rain in thin clothes, and her delicate body shivered for some reason, or angry, or cold.

The water on the face is probably rain, who knows...

Keqing left.

"Three days later, defeat me is your only chance."

Shi Lan was left alone on the ground, muddy.

It took him a while to recover from Keqing's emotional outburst just now.

"I ...... I didn't mean that......"

"I just want to show my determination to win......"

He bowed his head weakly.

The rain gathered beneath him into a pothole, a muddy puddle reflecting a comical face.

When I closed my eyes again, I saw that it was indeed the picture of Keqing turning away.

"It's cold... Why is it so uncomfortable here..."

He clutched his heart.

"I said the wrong thing again......"

"Forget it, I'll explain it tomorrow."

Shi Lan got up, took a bath in the rain by the way, scolded herself outside the mountain, and then went home.

This rain continued into the evening.

The next day, Keqing did not come.
