The few people who came from the table tennis room stared at the sweaty teenager with their eyes wide open.
Even Zhang Yining, who was known for his cold face, was no exception.
They couldn't understand why this young man, whose table tennis skills could reach the professional level, was so excellent in the field of shuttlecock.
Although she was inferior to Jing Xue, the strength she displayed left them dumbfounded.
"Cough cough, if I'm not wrong, this should be that kid Xu Yi.”Zhang Yining forced himself to calm down and said calmly.
"Oh my god, Sister Zhang, you're my biological sister. How did you raise her? This little fellow is too strong."
"I'm impressed. Compared to my lazy little guy, Xiao Xu is simply an idol.”
"As expected of Old Zhang's son, a genius.”
"Exactly. At this age, it was extremely rare for people of the same age to have reached such a level in the skills of both table tennis and volleyball.”
Zhang Yining's eyes grew even more confused after being praised by the others.
"Xu Yi probably practiced in secret. I didn't know that he was so good at shuttlecock.”Zhang Yining explained.
"Humble!"
"That's too much, Old Zhang."
Obviously, these people did not believe this excuse.
When Zhang Yining saw this, he didn't explain further and continued to watch the game.
Everything could wait until the end of the competition.
Xu Yi against Jing Xue was already in the top eight.
Therefore, the competition system changed from the previous 21-ball single-game deciding game to the best of three game system.
Even if one of them lost this game, the score would still be 1 to 0.
One or two more matches were needed to determine the final outcome.
Back to the competition.
The score had reached 19:7.
Jing Xue had surpassed Xu Yi by a large margin. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have won this round.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Yi in shock.
Was this boy really only thirteen years old?!
To be able to perform at such a level at the age of thirteen, she would be ranked among the best even in her previous provincial team.
What a terrifying talent.
Moreover, what puzzled her even more was that the other party was clearly behind by a large margin.
However, his eyes were filled with confidence, as if he was the one lagging behind.
Why was this happening?
What was he relying on?
Jing Xue's brows furrowed even deeper.
Bang!
A feint with an axe cutting the ball and hanging the net.
Jing Xue scored another point.
The score became 20:7.
She got match point.
As long as they won one more goal, they would be able to lead by one point.
Jing Xue picked up the shuttlecock and stared at Xu Yi's position.
Bang!
She shot a backhand high ball and kicked off.
Just as she stood in the middle of the line, waiting for the opponent to counterattack.
However, he was surprised to discover a strange scene.
Xu Yi did not move.
He did not go to catch the ball.
The shuttlecock floated over his head and then gently fell into the boundary.
"Hmm? Jing Xue won the game with a score of 21:7.”
The referee hesitated for half a second before announcing the result.
"You guys rest for a minute and then switch places for the next round.”
Jing Xue was stunned.
She did not know if it was her imagination, but the moment she served the ball, she actually saw Xu Yi's lips curl up slightly, as if he was smiling.
But when she looked carefully, it was gone.
What was wrong with him?
Why didn't he catch the ball?
"What happened to Xu Yi? Why didn't you catch the last ball?"
"He must be tired. Look at his sweat. After all, he's only 13 years old.”
"That's true. It seems like Little Jing has no suspense in their match.”
"Give this little guy a few more years and he will definitely grow to a level that we can only look up to.”
"Yeah, I think so too."
Zhang Yining looked at her son from afar. She didn't go over. No one knew their son better than their mother.
From Xu Yi's eyes, she could see the fighting spirit, helplessness, and confidence.
The amount of exercise required to play tennis was much greater than that of table tennis.
His entire body had to maintain a tense state at all times. Stopping and turning sharply, turning back and jumping at high speed, all of these required a large amount of physical strength.
It could be said that in the same time period, the amount of exercise in a high-quality game could even catch up with the amount of exercise in NBA basketball. It was terrifying.
In Zhang Yining's opinion, the current situation was still within Xu Yi's tolerance range.
Moreover, he had already grown up. It was time for him to learn how to face failure and setbacks.
The demon king admitted that Xu Yi's skills were not bad, but she did not think that he could win today.
……
Xu Yi took the towel and energy drink from Feng Tao.
"Kid, not bad. To be able to beat the national team by seven goals, this record can be boasted for a few days.”Feng Tao joked.
"..." Xu Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead and neck, too lazy to speak.
He felt helpless.
In this round, he was competing based on his own strength.
He had tried his best.
The strength of the two of them was still far apart.
Even though the elite level of the skills in the shuttlecock could reach the level of the national team.
However, with his current physical fitness, other than his reaction speed, his other attributes were not at the level of a normal adult.
Other than having an advantage in terms of physical fitness, Jing Xue had also undergone systematic training since she was young. Hence, she had more combat experience than Xu Yi.
Xu Yi calculated that this was only the second official match of his life.
However…
Xu Yi's eyes flashed.
He wanted to win.
Whether it was his pride as a man or the temptation of the main mission's Golden Treasure Chest, he had to win.
"System, use the Temporary Skill Upgrade Card to upgrade your shuttlecock skill!”Xu Yi muttered in his heart.
The first round was a self-indulgence.
The second round was his home game.
Temporary Skill Upgrade Card used. [Level up of the skill of shuttlecock to Master within 24 hours!]
