Chapter 26: Competing, perseverance
Ji Yuxin was wearing a white training uniform and holding a wooden sword. Her slender figure looked particularly tall and straight under the light, like a small poplar tree, tenacious and unyielding.
Her black hair falls naturally, her eyes are as bright as autumn water, and her face is filled with confidence and perseverance.
Opposite her was her best friend Deng Xiuqing. The two were sparring. The wooden swords kept clashing and making sounds. Deng Xiuqing was beaten back by her.
Finally, Ji Yuxin's wooden sword stopped in front of her best friend Deng Xiuqing's neck. The tip of the sword was only a few millimeters away from her best friend Deng Xiuqing's neck.
Chen Jinyang's pupils shrank slightly after watching the whole process. This distance is not easy to control. Senior Sister Ji Yuxin is a master of swordsmanship.
Deng Xiuqing froze in place, her eyes full of fear.
Although it is a wooden sword, if Ji Yuxin loses her grip on this sword, she will die!
Deng Xiuqing took a step back, waved her hands with lingering fear: "I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore, you are too scary."
Just as she was about to take a few breaths, she saw Chen Jinyang standing outside the martial arts gym and couldn't help but let out a "huh" sound.
Deng Xiuqing walked to Ji Yuxin and whispered, "The handsome boy outside is the arrogant brother in school."
Brother Arrogant was a nickname given to Chen Jinyang by a student in No. 1 Middle School because he was arrogant and arrogant.
Ji Yuxin looked at Chen Jinyang and took a look at Chen Jinyang: "I don't think he is as arrogant as others say."
She did not see any arrogance in Chen Jinyang's expression, but only calmness, as calm as still water.
Deng Xiuqing looked at Chen Jinyang carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, they are just rumors!"
Ji Yuxin moved forward and walked to the door of the martial arts hall and asked Chen Jinyang: "Do you want to come in and play, junior?"
Chen Jinyang shook his head: "Thank you, senior sister, I don't know how to swordsmanship."
Ji Yuxin's face showed a little disappointment. Her best friend Deng Xiuqing no longer wanted to play with her, and Chen Jinyang didn't know how to swordsmanship. It was so lonely to be invincible.
However, the next second, Chen Jinyang changed the topic: "But I know a little about stick skills."
These days in [Lord of the Sanctuary], Chen Jinyang's stick skills are very impressive, and they are all based on actual combat experience.
The extremely high fault tolerance rate has greatly improved Chen Jinyang's stick skills.
Ji Yuxin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Then let's discuss and learn from each other?"
Chen Jinyang did not agree immediately, but said: "If I use a long stick and the senior sister uses a sword, wouldn't it be inappropriate? After all, an inch longer is an inch stronger."
"It's okay, it's just a competition. I just want to learn my junior's stick skills." Ji Yuxin was very confident in her sword skills.
It's true that it's a bit of a disadvantage to use short weapons against long weapons, but it's not a big problem.
"In this case, I will be disrespectful." Chen Jinyang stepped into the martial arts gym.
He also wanted to see the difference between his stick skills and senior Ji Yuxin's swordsmanship.
Chen Jinyang went straight to the weapons rack and pulled out a long stick.
Deng Xiuqing suggested: "Would you like to change your clothes and then put on protective gear? Otherwise, if Yuxin misses, the consequences will be serious."
"It's inappropriate to just wear other people's clothes." Chen Jinyang shook his head. He was not a student of this martial arts gym.
Ji Yuxin said: "You'd better put them on. This martial arts gym is run by my family. There are clean new clothes. You can wear them as you like."
"Come with me, the changing room is over here. There are new clothes in it."
Ji Yuxin took Chen Jinyang into the men's changing room, found a suitable and unopened training uniform and handed it to Chen Jinyang.
"You change clothes first, and I'll get you protective gear."
After saying that, Ji Yuxin walked out of the changing room and closed the door for Chen Jinyang.
Chen Jinyang was not polite, he just put on his new training clothes and walked out of the changing room.
Outside, Ji Yuxin had already put on protective gear. She was not familiar with Chen Jinyang's ways, so she had better be careful. A stick on her body would still be quite painful.
When Deng Xiuqing saw Chen Jinyang coming out of the changing room, she immediately handed the protective gear in her hand to Chen Jinyang, and then kept looking at Chen Jinyang with her eyes.
She felt that Chen Jinyang, wearing the training uniform, really had the temperament of a martial artist, like a little master.
Chen Jinyang put on protective gear, and Deng Xiuqing handed the long stick to Chen Jinyang.
Chen Jinyang took the long stick, walked to the competition venue, looked at Ji Yuxin who was standing opposite and said, "Come on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yuxin was already charging towards Chen Jinyang with a wooden sword in hand.
Both parties were wearing protective gear, and Ji Yuxin was also a master of swordsmanship. Chen Jinyang was unambiguous at all and used as much force as he could.
He immediately waved the long stick in his hand and struck Ji Yuxin from top to bottom.
Seeing this posture, Ji Yuxin did not dare to take the ball hard, so she had to give up attacking the center and attack Chen Jinyang from the side.
However, Chen Jinyang didn't give her this chance at all.
With a stick, Chen Jinyang quickly followed up with a strike that swept across the entire army, and the long stick swept towards Ji Yuxin on the side.
The force of this blow was a bit small, but it made it impossible for Ji Yuxin to get close.
Seeing this, Ji Yuxin quickly raised her wooden sword to block.
Boom!
The long stick and the wooden sword collided with each other and made a sound. Chen Jinyang retracted the long stick and moved forward suddenly.
Ji Yuxin reacted very quickly and raised the wooden sword again. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or Ji Yuxin's control was extremely precise.
The long stick is impartial and hits the sword exactly.
Ji Yuxin immediately felt a huge push and couldn't help but take two steps back.
She was about to step forward, but found that Chen Jinyang did not take back the long stick, but continued to press the long stick against her wooden sword, pushing her back repeatedly.
Ji Yuxin had no choice but to turn sideways, let the wooden stick slide past the wooden sword, and then strike at Chen Jinyang.
Chen Jinyang quickly retracted the wooden stick, raised the wooden stick with both hands to block the wooden sword's chop, and at the same time kicked out suddenly, hitting Ji Yuxin in the abdomen.
Ji Yuxin took several steps back before regaining her balance.
However, at this time, Chen Jinyang's attack had arrived.
Still sweeping through thousands of armies, this blow swept through thousands of armies. Chen Jinyang had already swung in a semicircle, and his force was overwhelming.
Bang!
Ji Yuxin, who failed to block the attack immediately, flew sideways and fell to the ground.
Even though she was wearing protective gear, she still felt severe pain in her ribs.
Chen Jinyang stood there and did not attack again. Deng Xiuqing quickly ran to Ji Yuxin's side and tried to help Ji Yuxin up.
The determined Ji Yuxin did not let Deng Xiuqing help her up, but stood up by herself.
She looked at Chen Jinyang and said loudly, "Come again!"
Chen Jinyang took a stance, and Ji Yuxin rushed in again with a wooden sword in hand.
Every inch longer and every inch stronger, Chen Jinyang is not afraid.
After a few moments of mixing, Ji Yuxin received another blow.
"Come again!"
Then he got another slap.
This time, Ji Yuxin's wooden sword was disconnected, but she still wanted to use another intact wooden sword to continue the fight.
But Chen Jinyang didn't want to come.
He said helplessly: "It's better not to come. Senior sister, you use short-range weapons. If you can't get close, you won't have any advantage."
Ji Yuxin's eyes flashed with disappointment: "Are short soldiers really suppressed by long soldiers?"
She likes kendo very much, but in the real world, without terrain advantages or other advantages, it is difficult for short soldiers to defeat long soldiers.
Chen Jinyang said calmly: "That is true without the blessing of extraordinary power, but if there is the blessing of extraordinary power, short soldiers are not that weak."
As long as there is a sudden advance, once those holding short soldiers are close to those holding long weapons, the latter will be difficult to parry.
"Did you also use a long stick in [Lord of the Holy Domain]?" Ji Yuxin looked at Chen Jinyang.
Chen Jinyang replied: "It is now, maybe in the future."
Hearing this, Ji Yuxin said sincerely: "I hope I can meet you during the monthly exam. Then I will never be as embarrassed as I am today."
Chen Jinyang smiled and said to himself: "If you really meet me, you will be unlucky."
