Chapter 66: Jiang Nuan VS Huo Ling

"Does it matter to you whether she is angry or not?" Tan Yi continued to pack her things, "Just remember that she is your opponent."

There was almost nothing to do with Jiang Nuan during the morning game, so Lu Ran was waiting for her at the end of the corridor with his bag on his back.

There was always a girl standing not far away looking at him, wanting to go forward but not dare, and even took out her mobile phone to take pictures of him secretly.

This is difficult for Jiang Nuan to understand.

In addition to being better-looking and having better grades, what else is Lu Ran worthy of these girls lying in the corner like chasing stars?

Finally, the courageous girl took a packaged gift box and walked in front of Lu Ran, blushing, and walking towards him nervously.

Jiang Nuan slapped her mouth. She must have seen such a scene more than once in school.

She said "should" because she hadn't remembered a lot of things last semester, so she couldn't determine the exact number of times.

From the corner of Lu Ran's eyes, he clearly caught a glimpse of Jiang Nuan. He seemed to be waiting for Jiang Nuan to come over, but Jiang Nuan just didn't go there, but tilted his head, looking like "what do you do".

"Well, I've noticed you since last year's competition...you're really good...I'm your fan, I hope you can win the championship this year! And the national championship can also win! This is my right Please accept your blessings!"

Lu Ran raised his hand, as if he was going to pick up the gift box.

Jiang Nuan opened his mouth, thinking, isn't it, this guy has changed his sex?

Isn't his way of doing things if he doesn't want to accept it, he doesn't give the other party a chance?

Lu Ran's fingertips touched the gift box and gently pushed it towards the girl.

"Thank you for your constant attention and support. I will win the championship this time. But I can't accept your gift because my girlfriend also participated this year. If she sees me accepting gifts from other girls, maybe she will A bad mood leads to poor performance in the game, so I have received your wishes, but I cannot accept your gifts. Please understand."

Lu Ran's voice was objective and smooth throughout, but there was an unshakable firmness in it.

The girl looked at him in surprise, and after a long time, she replied, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Lu Ran nodded.

Those who were watching him in the corner naturally heard it, Jiang Nuan seemed to hear the broken heart of a girl.

"No way... Lu Ran has a girlfriend, how is this possible..."

"Doesn't he look like 'I'll never be in love'?"

"Who is it? Do you know who it is?"

"Is it Tan Yi?"

"Ah... it's really Tan Yi..."

The girl who gave the gift had already stepped back.

Lu Ran remained motionless, and turned his face to look in Jiang Nuan's direction, with a blatant "you still won't come over to me" in his eyes.

Alright alright, I'm your girlfriend...

Jiang Nuan deeply felt that the responsibility of being Lu Ran's girlfriend was heavier than Mount Tai.

Her responsibility is to bring those crooked girls back to reality as soon as possible.

With her schoolbag on her back, she walked past the girls who were still looking at Lu Ran, met Lu Ran's gaze, and came to him.

She coughed and put on her own momentum.

"Why did you say you lied!"

"What did I lie to you?" Lu Ran asked indifferently.

"You said that the mage who played with us last night was Tan Yi!" Jiang Nuan said in a low voice.

"I said, do you believe it?"

"Of course I believe what you said!" Jiang Nuan's eyes widened.

The corners of Lu Ran's lips curled up: "Then you keep believing. Holding the murderous aura of defeating to the end."

"What murderous intent, I think it's stupid!"

Lu Ran's hand had already reached out, and he gently pulled Jiang Nuan's hand and walked forward.

She couldn't hear what the girls in the corner were saying, and she didn't know what their expressions were at the moment, only Lu Ran's fingers, trying to force but restrained, clasped her hand.

Jiang Nuan knew very well that as long as he wanted to break free from his hand, Lu Ran would clasp her so hard that it hurt her bones.

"So you don't know that mage at all?"

"I know him, and you do know him."

"Ah? It's not Mu Sheng, it's not Xu Zitian... Is it someone else in our club?"

Jiang Nuan always felt that the guys in the club were all scumbags playing games.

"It's Zhuang Yun. He arrived in Nanshi last night."

"You mean the male saber captain from Haichuan University?"

"Ok."

"Why did he come to Nanshi?"

"Of course, to see if there are any good seedlings this year."

"Oh." Jiang Nuan thought to himself, and it was estimated that the targets of their attention were Lu Ran and Tan Yi.

"Let's go and have lunch."

At noon, the entire Huaifeng Club had lunch in a Cantonese-style restaurant.

Because there is a game in the afternoon, the food must be light and hygienic without stimulating the stomach.

Cheng Doudou and Rao Can also came, and they were very excited when they saw Jiang Nuan. Jiang Nuan specially ate with them, just in time to stay away from Lu Ran.

In case the guy pulls her hand under the table again or says something to make her squirt the rice.

Doudou hugged her: "Xiao Nuan! You are really amazing! I never knew that fencing was so interesting!"

Jiang Nuan was so strangled by her that she could hardly breathe.

Rao Can said amusingly: "You have to compare yourself this afternoon! I heard that after your group qualified, many students in our class will come to cheer you on!"

"Really? A lot of female classmates are coming to cheer Lu Ran, right?"

"You don't allow men!" Rao Can smiled.

While eating lunch, several coaches mentioned other players.

Except for Lu Ran, Mu Sheng and Xu Zitian entered the afternoon match smoothly.

Mu Sheng wrapped his arms around Xu Zitian's shoulders and said, "It seems that we are going to kill each other again this afternoon!"

Xu Zitian ate chicken drumstick rice indifferently: "Anyway, before meeting Lu Ran, you must have already dealt with me."

Mu Sheng sighed and said, "Don't talk about me, don't be solved by He Zheng before you meet me and Lu Ran!"

It seems that the competition of men's saber is much more intense than that of women's sabre.

After lunch, they took a nap near the gym before heading back for the afternoon game.

Jiang Nuan looked at her opponent. In the afternoon, there were eight people in the U16 group.

If I enter the semi-finals, according to Jiang Huai's analysis, it is very likely that it will be Tan Yi, and it may also be Huo Ling.

"Huo Ling is a player with comprehensive skills, but not very stable on the field. You need to be careful with her. You have to suppress her momentum from the beginning, undermine her confidence, and master the rhythm." This is Jiang Huai to Huo Ling evaluation of.

Jiang Nuan entered the locker room, while Tan Yi and Huo Ling were inside.

"Huo Ling, you have to play steadily today, we will face off in the final." Tan Yi said.

"Oh, I will definitely lose when I meet you in the final."

"If you lose, you have to get second." Tan Yan's voice was full of confidence.

Jiang Nuan is very clear that this confidence is not conceit, but her understanding of her technical level and the control of her mentality after several games.

Jiang Nuan opened the cabinet with a "squeak", and Huo Ling turned to look at her.

Huo Ling has big eyes and short hair, looking at Jiang Nuan like a deer.

This made Jiang Nuan feel guilty. In case he faced Huo Ling in the semifinals, he was like a hunter chasing down a deer.

Jiang Nuan changed her clothes and went out for inspection with her face shield in hand.

She glanced at the match table, listened to Jiang Huai's last exhortation, and became nervous.

This is no longer a group round robin after all.

Failure is failure, and there is no chance to come back.

Lu Ran was about to go to his kendo, and before leaving, he took Jiang Nuan's hand.

"Do you feel stressed?"

"That's for sure... Your participation in these competitions is like chopping melons and vegetables. This is my first time."

Before Lu Ran put on his gloves, he tapped Jiang Nuan's forehead with his fingertips: "When the game is over, you'll tell me, 'I knew I was nervous back then'."

There was a smile in his eyes, and his tone sounded like Jiang Nuan, and he immediately relaxed the frowning brows of Jiang Nuan.

Lu Ran walked over sideways, and Jiang Nuan looked at his back, and sometimes felt that his arrogant and arrogant look was quite touching.

Jiang Nuan looked on one side and saw the banner in the auditorium, and almost fell in place.

The banner was 2.5 meters long, with bright red background and yellow characters. In the morning, she complained about the taste of Tan Yi's group of straight male fans, and this time it was her turn.

Jiang Nuan walked to her kendo, she calmed her breath, and told herself to be tight and tight, not to give the opponent a chance, and to win to the end.

In the auditorium, Zhuang Yun and Coach Meng sat side by side.

Zhuang Yun glanced, wanting to see whether Coach Meng was focusing on Jiang Nuan or Tan Yi.

Tan Yan exhaled. Before she went on the field, her coach told her that the head coach of the Haichuan University fencing team was also there.

This is very surprising to her. In her opinion, if such a first-class university is interested in young fencers, it must at least break through to the level of national competition, but they are in the provincial trials. coming.

Obviously, there are players here that they are very interested in.

Last year's champion was her. There is no doubt that they must have come to pay attention to her, which undoubtedly increased Tan Yi's confidence and increased pressure.

With the start of the game, the opponent in front of Jiang Nuan rushed forward. Jiang Nuan's calf exerted force, and his thigh was driven to fight against his opponent.

She blocked the opponent's sword strongly, and after a dash was blocked by the opponent, it was followed by another dash that was too fast to be seen clearly.

The first sword was over in three seconds, and Jiang Nuan scored a point.

In the auditorium, apart from Cheng Doudou and Rao Can, more than a dozen seats were filled with classmates of Jiang Nuan and Lu Ran.

There are currently eight kendos in the gym, and there are competitions going on at the same time.

Cao Li, who was originally following Lu Ran's competition, was dragged by Lin Mixia next to her, and she heard her whisper: "Jiang Nuan looks like he doesn't have a brain every day. I didn't expect fencing to be so good."

"How awesome?"

Just as Cao Li turned his gaze to Jiang Nuan's side, he saw that she quickly disrupted the opponent's fencing line with two swords, and instantly reversed the situation. Score.

"My God...this is Jiang Nuan..."

At the end of the quarter-finals, Jiang Nuan defeated his opponent 15-8 and entered the semi-finals.

She turned around, took the mineral water that her father handed over, and saw that Tan Yi on the other side seemed to have ended the game long ago, and she was chatting with her coach with a relaxed expression.

Half an hour later, the list for the semi-finals came out, and Jiang Nuan was really against Huo Ling.

Jiang Huai said the same thing: "Press her to fight. Be careful with her defensive counterattacks."

"Understood." Jiang Nuan took a breath, took a look at the phone, and found the text messages of several classmates who came to watch the battle.

Cao Li: I regret that I didn't let you play when I played basketball with No. 16 Middle School. Such a powerful lethality is a pity!

Lin Mixia: I took the first class and invited you to eat Babylon.

Jiang Nuan couldn't help laughing: You can eat anything, just not Babylon.

This afternoon, it was the first time for Jiang Nuan to experience three important games in a row.

Before embarking on kendo, she had so much anxiety and uncertainty, but when she pointed the tip of her sword at her opponent, she realized that there was only one result all along - to go all out.

Huo Ling, who was fighting against her, although so many people's evaluation of her was not stable enough, her sword tip was not shaken in the slightest.

Jiang Nuan narrowed his eyes.

She tapped the ground with her toes and adjusted her weight to the most suitable position for sprinting.

The referee's voice fell, and they rushed towards each other.

Huo Ling is really a good opponent. The angle of this sword's attack is very particular. After being knocked down by Jiang Nuan, she immediately launched a second wave of attacks. She and Jiang Nuan have obviously the same idea. Press the opponent to death.

Jiang Nuan stably controlled the rhythm, followed by intensive counterattacks to force Huo Ling, constantly destroying Huo Ling's fencing line.

Just when Jiang Nuan felt that he had suppressed Huo Ling, Huo Ling made a dangerous move, rubbed Jiang Nuan's sword and stabbed her, and then Jiang Nuan's sword fell on Huo Ling's shoulder.

The referee signaled Huo Ling to take the first sword.

Jiang Nuan took a breath and exhaled again.

The mask was a little hot, and at the same time, her fingertips, which were a little cold because of the tension, also warmed up.

Huo Ling returned to her original position and posed.

This sword gave her some confidence.

Jiang Nuan moved his ankle.

Cheng Doudou in the audience grabbed Rao Can's hand: "This... this Huo Ling seems to be very powerful..."

"Why are you nervous? This is the first strike!" Rao Can patted Doudou's hand, but his heart was also extremely nervous.

Zhuang Yun, who was on the other side of the auditorium, glanced at his coach, and this time it was obvious that he was looking in the direction of Jiang Nuan and Huo Ling.

In the second sword, Huo Ling was still a strong attack.

Jiang Nuan's nerves were tense. She remembered her father's instructions to fight against Huo Ling and fight against Huo Ling...

Her teeth were clenched, and the speed at which she attacked her opponent was undiminished. She didn't seem to have any intention of resisting, but when she slashed at Huo Ling's sword, her aura was astonishing.

Without a chance to breathe, Jiang Nuan immediately counterattacked, slashing sideways with a sword, so neat that even the opponent's breath was cut off. Huo Ling was hit just as she raised her hand.

The referee signaled Jiang Nuan to score.

Jiang Nuan exhaled and returned to his position.

In the auditorium, Cheng Doudou turned his face and looked at Rao Can with a veiled face: "Did you see it? Why didn't I see clearly, Xiaonuan hit her?"

"I didn't see it either..."

Zhuang Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "This sword has the taste of ancient dragons."

Coach Meng removed his binoculars and said, "This girl's style is very similar to that of a male player."

"Be straight to the point and not be sloppy."

Jiang Nuan glanced at his father from a distance, he nodded, but still looked tense.

How much impact this sword gave Huo Ling, only the next sword can tell.

Jiang Nuan took the initiative to attack again, crossing steps in a row, Huo Ling's center of gravity was forced to adjust by Jiang Nuan, and she almost fell on her back. Just as she was about to counterattack, Jiang Nuan slashed sharply and quickly ended the incident. Bureau.

Jiang Nuan's classmates couldn't help cheering.

Huo Ling turned around, raised her face shield, and took a few seconds to adjust her mood before turning around to fight again.

She worked hard to stabilize her mood, defended under Jiang Nuan's strong attack, and found an opportunity to counteract quickly.

Jiang Nuan could feel her determination to die and live again. Her speed and feeling of pressure were higher than the previous two swords.

Jiang Nuan was about to fight back with his sword during the retreat, but Huo Ling seized the opportunity to stab and score.

Jiang Nuan raised her face shield, and she still had a slight lead, but Huo Ling played very steadily this time.

She tapped her right toe and said to herself, be a little more high, a little tighter, a little faster...

Get in rhythm!

Jiang Nuan narrowed his eyes and stared at his opponent.

She jumped out suddenly, started, accelerated, and slammed down with a sword, slashing directly on Huo Ling's shoulder, and then Huo Ling's sword was thrown on her shoulder.

The inexperienced Cheng Doudou and Rao Can couldn't understand how this sword was judged.

Both Zhuang Yun and Coach Meng felt that Jiang Nuan should have hit Huo Ling first, but they didn't expect the referee to judge each other without scoring.

Zhuang Yun chuckled lightly and looked at his coach.

Coach Meng said indifferently: "Bearing the referee's penalty on the field is also the quality you athletes need."

Jiang Nuan was disappointed, and originally wanted to put more pressure on Huo Ling.

Jiang Huai outside the court didn't say much, just used his fist to compare his chest.

Jiang Nuan's mood was still not calm, she turned around and lowered her head, telling herself not to think too much, the next sword, the next sword is more important.
