Chapter 75 Jiang Nuan VS Chang Xin

With the two posing on the track, Jiang Nuan could vaguely feel the state of the opponent on the other side. Even though Chang Xin was wearing a face shield at this time, and her posture was sophisticated and imposing, but Jiang Nuan felt her hesitation from the tip of the opponent’s sword, her anxiety, she was trying her best to control her fear of Jiang Nuan.

Being able to make last year’s top eight fearful, Jiang Nuan was suddenly full of confidence.

The first sword, when Chang Xin approached her, abandoned all distracting thoughts, which made Jiang Nuan feel her sincere admiration for her.

It is as if every sword holder who sets foot on the arena is facing the test from every moment of lightning and flint. No one can really predict the opponent, and these uncertainties are the source of everyone’s anxiety and fear.

But the only thing they are sure to do is to meet these uncertainties!

Chang Xin’s pace is lighter and more flexible than her previous opponents. She doesn’t have the impact of those male players, such as Lu Ran and Jian Ming, but she is very stable. If controlling distance has always been Jiang Nuan’s talent, then Chang Xin is definitely a master.

In the midst of constant testing, the two suddenly accelerated and attacked each other, and changed their rhythms almost at the same time at the moment of pause. In Jiang Nuan’s eyes, Chang Xin suddenly threw a sword.

This sword was dexterous and swift, without warning, causing Qiao Yuling, who was watching them from the same place, to frown.

Almost no one thinks that Jiang Nuan can successfully avoid this sword. Most people will retreat back and try to avoid it, but Jiang Nuan suddenly sank his center of gravity. When he pressed down the sword with a backhand, he only saw silver light passing by, often. Shin’s light is on.

The referee announced that Jiang Nuan scored.

Jiang Nuan, who was very close to Chang Xin, could hear her breath through the mask.

As the coach, Jiang Huai nodded and clapped, indicating that he was quite satisfied with his daughter’s sword.

But Jiang Nuan felt a deep threat.

She didn’t even think that she was relying on strength to win this sword. If the distance between Chang Xin and her was even more than one centimeter, she would not be able to defend and counterattack.

In addition to her reflexes, there is a bit of luck.

Jiang Nuan turned around and sorted out the tip of his sword.

And Chang Xin is also sorting out her sword.

“You and Chang Xin have met in previous games, and there should be a lot of practice games in a year. What’s your opinion of Chang Xin?” He Yun bumped Zhang Jinyang with her elbow.

“Not as good as me.” Zhang Jinyang replied.

He Yun couldn’t help laughing: “Can you praise Chang Xin objectively?”

“Chang Xin is good at surprise attacks. She seems to be a person who is not very confident, not very talkative and expressive, and even does not feel lethal. Her sword often stabs me at unexpected times. At first, I I thought it was her impulse, but after a few more times, I found that she is particularly good at capturing the moment of inertia of the opponent’s thinking.” Zhang Jinyang replied.

“Actually, in my opinion, if Chang Xin can be less cautious and more aggressive, maybe it is not impossible to enter the top four.” He Yun replied.

At this time, the battle between Jiang Nuan and Chang Xin became warmer from the initial restraint.

It was the first time that Chang Xin had met an opponent who was as good at grasping distance as herself.

Whenever she tried to attack from a suitable distance, Jiang Nuan would definitely rush into her defensive distance or completely withdraw from her attack range, and then reverse the situation to suppress her.

They were in such a tug of war, hitting each other constantly.

The score went all the way to 8-8.

Chang Xin found that fighting against Jiang Nuan was a very interesting feeling. Because just now, when she was adjusting her breathing, Jiang Nuan suddenly turned to the side to stab the opponent’s shoulder, holding the sword behind Chang Xin’s shoulder – it was too unexpected.

Although there were more than a dozen kendos competing in the fencing hall at the same time, the eyes of all the audience were invariably attracted to Jiang Nuan and Chang Xin.

“Chang Xin played better than I imagined.” Qiao Yuling crossed her legs and supported her chin with one hand on her knee. “It’s bolder than the previous game. This kind of open-minded and adventurous posture is not like her before. .”

“Because the opponent is not only bold, but also has similar technical characteristics to her. If Chang Xin doesn’t force herself to be bold, she will be completely suppressed by Jiang Nuan.” answered concisely.

Qiao Yuling twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, and when he looked up again, he saw Lu Ran standing on the audience stage near them, looking in Jiang Nuan’s direction.

Qiao Yuling whistled at Lu Ran half-jokingly, but Lu Ran did not lower his head, but continued to look at Jiang Nuan.

At this time, Chang Xin carried out a large-scale pressing pursuit against Jiang Nuan. Her steps were not only fast but also powerful, but Jiang Nuan blocked Chang Xin’s three swords in two seconds. People want to puff, but just when Chang Xin wants to speed up, Jiang Nuan’s blade points to the outside of Chang Xin, and slashes forward and quickly, the whole action is as coherent as the current that cuts through the air. , hit Chang Xin directly in the head.

“Oh – this sword is beautiful.” Qiao Yuling nodded.

Jian Ming smiled: “If you are her opponent, this sword…”

“I will block this sword. Then I will stab her in the heart.” Qiao Yuling replied.

“No, I mean, if you were her opponent, she would chop faster.”

Qiao Yuling did not speak.

Jiang Nuan temporarily led Chang Xin by a slight advantage. She licked the corner of her mouth. She was very hot, so she raised her face shield and wiped the sweat from her neck.

At that moment, she saw Lu Ran standing far away.

How long has he looked at her?

Probably found her and looked over, Lu Ran picked up the glove on his left hand, raised his hand and made a gesture.

Jiang Nuan narrowed his eyes, unable to see what it was.

This guy can’t be… comparing his heart, right?

This thought made Jiang Nuan feel that her eyes must be broken, and she quickly wiped the sweat on her forehead from her eyes.

But when he thought that Lu Ran was looking at him, Jiang Nuan’s fingertips felt a little hot, as if blood was surging all over his body, trying to find an exit and burst out.

She moved her heels, thinking that she and Lu Ran had practiced so many times, and each time she scored like a star, unless she tried her best, she would only touch the sky for a moment. This is fencing, they are all star-catchers, galloping and jumping just to catch the stars at that moment.

In order to recover the score, Chang Xin was obviously more active than before. Her continuous slashes matched the range of her feet, which made Jiang Nuan tense her heartstrings to defend. As long as she breathed for a moment, the strings would break and she would be hit. .

When Chang Xin’s third sword tip was blocked by Jiang Nuan’s backhand at a distance of less than half a centimeter from Jiang Nuan’s shoulder, she knew that her chance had finally come! Chang Xin also felt that Jiang Nuan was about to fight back, and subconsciously retreated!

“It’s over!” Zhang Jinyang and He Yun almost said in unison.

Because Chang Xin gave Jiang Nuan enough acceleration distance, he only saw Jiang Nuan stretch his arms forward and inwardly rotate, the sword body arched upwards, and the wrist lift was subtle and precise.

“Hmm—” Chang Xin wanted to retreat, but it was too late, and she was stabbed in the chest.

Jiang Nuan’s lead was expanded.

Next, Jiang Nuan constantly adjusted and changed in pace and speed. Chang Xin still played calmly, constantly destroying Jiang Nuan’s fencing line. She turned sideways to resist Jiang Nuan’s attack. She was extremely sensitive, and this was the first time Jiang Nuan did this Admire the opponent’s defense.

After a two-second stalemate, the two retreated in order to find an opportunity. They swayed their swords to defend each other. Just as Chang Xin seemed to be approaching slowly, he suddenly pressed his knees to accelerate, and tried to attack Jiang Nuan, but when she seemed to be approaching slowly, she accelerated. Before the full acceleration, Jiang Nuan’s heart lifted, the wrist manipulated the hilt, the forearm was the axis, and a counterclockwise counter-attack without warning hit Chang Xin directly!

In an instant, Jiang Nuan was ahead of Chang Xin by 3 swords, and 14 to 11, the next sword is likely to decide which of them is most likely to enter the top 32.

Qiao Yuling looked up at the place where Lu Ran was standing again, and said jokingly, “I’ll be concise, I think Lu Ran especially likes to look at Jiang Nuan.”

He smiled lightly and said nothing.

“Actually, rather than seeing you fall out of love, I want to see that little brat, Lu Ran, who is unwilling, uncomfortable, and wants to lose his temper, but can only be angry with himself. Why do you think you are so unsatisfactory? ” Qiao Yuling tapped his fingers on his cheeks, with an expression that was not too big of a deal to watch the fun.

“So, with you, my popularity is better than that of Lu Ran?”

“Hehe, you can only find comfort from me. As a junior sister, I still hope that you can win in the arena or in love.”

Qiao Yuling looked like a good brother and patted Jane on the shoulder.

“I think you just lost to Lu Ran during the practice match.”

“Just two swords.” Qiao Yuling stood up and approached Jiang Nuan and Chang Xin’s swordsmanship.

Zhang Jinyang and He Yun, who were watching the game, felt Qiao Yuling, and were stunned for a moment.

“Why are you here?” Zhang Jinyang asked.

“Come here and say something to you.” Qiao Yuling patted Zhang Jinyang on the shoulder, “The next group cycle should be about you to Jiang Nuan, right?”

“What do you want to say? Remind me to be careful about her power?” Zhang Jinyang asked, squinting.

Qiao Yuling smiled: “Little Sun, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course I want you to give her a good look. Don’t let her look down on us.”

“I think you want me to blow her self-confidence first. Do you use me as a swordsman?” Zhang Jinyang gave Qiao Yuling a white look.

“Because I really always thought that this game should be the world of the three of us.” Qiao Yuling raised his hand, with Zhang Jinyang on his left and He Yun on his right.

“Okay, don’t make trouble.”

At this time, Jiang Nuan had already sorted out the mask, and both of them were full of fighting spirit, and they immediately hit each other when they rushed out.

Next is the speed confrontation between the two swords.

It has to be said that such a continuous interaction makes the audience dare not even breathe.

Jiang Nuan turned around and returned to her original position, she said to herself—this is the last sword!

Gritting his teeth and attacking decisively, this was the fastest time for Jiang Nuan to stretch out.

Zhang Jinyang’s brows furrowed, Qiao Yuling raised her chin slightly, Jiang Nuan’s sword was too impulsive in her opinion, because Chang Xin must have been ready to strike back, but the moment it was almost cut, Jiang Nuan Another blow forced Chang Xin to briefly lose control of the sword, and there was hardly any pause. Jiang Nuan flicked his wrist, quickly and stealthily, hitting Chang Xin’s side.

Chang Xin’s light was on, but many viewers didn’t see clearly how Jiang Nuan ended the sword.

In the distance, Jian Ming also stood up and looked at Jiang Nuan who retracted his arms in surprise.

She locked in the top 32 seats, no matter what the results of the group round-robin match between her and Zhang Jinyang would be.

“Amazing…” He Yun’s words awakened Zhang Jinyang and Qiao Yuling who were still deconstructing Jiang Nuan’s last sword.

When the referee announced Jiang Nuan’s score, she jumped up with her sword in hand, her back bent into a bow shape in mid-air.

Chang Xin took off her face shield and wiped the sweat from her face.

She still has a chance, but she must win Zhang Jinyang.

This kind of pressure and situation was something she hadn’t thought of before she came here.

The two shook hands, and Chang Xin smiled and said, “Congratulations.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Nuan reached out and hugged her.

Chang Xin lowered her head and walked towards Zhang Jinyang and the others.

He Yun and Chang Xin are also old acquaintances in the game. She hugged Chang Xin and said, “Winning and losing are the norm. Play the next game well.”

At this time, Zhang Jinyang moved his neck, then pulled the glove on his right hand and looked at Qiao Yuling.

“I know you appreciate Jiang Nuan. But like you said just now, the final should still be ours. I am very exclusive, so I will show her some color next.” walk by.

“Little Sun, don’t be put out by others. I want to continue to show you colors in the finals this year.” Qiao Yuling said.

Her voice sounded like she was joking, but there was no smile on her lips.

Zhang Jinyang waved his hand and walked towards his coach, but her coach didn’t give her too much advice like Chang Xin’s coach.

“Jiang Nuan’s game, you can see clearly.”

“I see clearly.” Zhang Jinyang took a sip of water, lifted his legs and hugged his knees, and put his head on his knees, as if to rest, and as if to remove all the surrounding noise from his brain.

Jiang Nuan returned to Jiang Huai and poured several sips of water.

“You are about to compete with Zhang Jinyang, are you nervous?”

“What was the result of the group match between her and Xie Xiaonan?”

“15 to 9.” Jiang Huai said.

“She’s really cruel.”

“She will definitely treat you harder than Xie Xiaonan.” Jiang Huai touched Jiang Nuan’s head, “Hurry up and rest. Your match with Zhang Jinyang is in an hour.”

But Jiang Nuan couldn’t sit still and ran to watch Lu Ran’s group match.

Jiang Nuan imitated Lu Ran with great interest, standing in the aisle in the first row of the auditorium, lying on the railing.

The time for each sword of the men’s saber is very short, and there are not too many battles. If it is fast, the first sword will be the winner, and if it is slower, three or four swords will have an ending.

At this time, Lu Ran hit his opponent with a diagonal forehand to score, Jiang Nuan also took off his left glove, and made a gesture in Lu Ran’s direction, but it was not a heart, but a thumb down. action.

She thought Lu Ran didn’t see it, but she didn’t expect that when he was turning around to prepare, he suddenly raised his sword and pointed at the auditorium.

Very straightforward, with a strong sense of deterrence.

Sure enough, the audience and even Lu Ran’s opponent couldn’t help but turn around and look in Jiang Nuan’s direction.

Jiang Nuan wanted to squat down with his head in his arms, it was too embarrassing!

Someone came to her side, holding her by the back collar. As soon as Jiang Nuan looked up, she saw Jane wearing a suit and hanging a work card, pressing her eyebrows and smiling at her.

“The last sword against Chang Xin just now was very interesting.”

“Thank you…” Jiang Nuan felt a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

She stood up and lay side by side with Jian Ming in the audience.

At this moment, Lu Ran made a mistake to reveal the effective position and was hit in the arm by the opponent.

“Oops! For such a mistake, I’ll be beaten by my dad when I go back.” Jiang Nuan booed.

“That’s because he saw me talking to you.” Jian Ming smiled and waved his hand greatly.

Lu Ran immediately returned to his state, his speed was much faster than before, fierce and swift, and every sword was a strike of thunder.

The audience watched it very well, but the opponent was a bit miserable.

“He wants to end the game early and come to you.” Jian Bing said.

“how do you know?”

“We’ve been our opponents for so many years, how he moves, I can guess what he’s thinking.” Jian Ming smiled even more, “Actually, I came to you because I wanted you to cherish the next round and Zhang Jinyang. chance to fight.”

“Yes, I know.”

“Zhang Jinyang is an opponent that is very close to Qiao Yuling in terms of strength.” The concise fingers formed the appearance of a fencer preparing to accelerate, standing on the fence, “Especially at this moment, her acceleration is very fast, definitely not inferior to male players. Zhang Jinyang, He Yun and Qiao Yuling represent the top level of your age group, even if they are placed in the college fencing team, they are all top-notch.”

Jiang Nuan nodded.

The concise “not inferior to male players” probably refers not only to ordinary male players, but to accelerations close to his level.

At this time, Lu Ran had already finished his group match. After shaking hands with his opponent, he threw the sword and face shield directly to Mu Sheng, and walked towards Jiang Nuan and concise direction.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Nuan: Sister Yuling said that you are not a gentleman.

Lu Ran: I didn’t treat her as a woman, so why let her?

Jiang Nuan: You never let me go! Don’t you think of me as a girl?

Lu Ran: I gave myself up to you, every sword is yours.
