In the blink of an eye, a month passed. He Lin opened up nine more meridians, now opening up twelve meridians, and advanced to the rank of Advanced Swordsman.
His artistic conception has also been cultivated to the perfect state of a high-level swordsman.
The other four students also improved to varying degrees.
Bi Yao has been promoted to an intermediate swordsman. He just opened up his fourth meridian yesterday.
Yu Kun is still a junior swordsman, but he has already opened up three meridians.
Qian Yu opened up two meridians. Qian Yu had just achieved a state of mind, so he opened up two meridians.
Zhao Ding only had one. A week of recovery, three weeks of training, and no awakening of the state of mind allowed him to open only one meridian.
Zhao Ding had been quiet lately. His characteristically loud voice, which he used to use when the three of them were together, was now rarely heard. Now, most of the time, he was listening to his two best friends talk.
The time and frequency of the two good friends chatting also plummeted due to training. The kendo room of the free class now looked more and more like the kendo rooms of other classes. It was so quiet that only the sound of swords cutting through the air could be heard.
Herlin didn't care about it, it just didn't help him gather information. The three of them chatting was one of the main ways he collected information some time ago.
Now that the three of them are no longer chatting, this method is considered useless.
It’s still the same competition venue, same location.
He was also the first to play, and his opponent was Lu Liban.
In He Lin's class, the first person to go on stage was naturally Zhao Ding.
"Play seriously, don't worry about winning or losing. The most important thing is to find your own shortcomings." Teacher Wang Li reminded as she did in the last competition.
"Teacher, I understand. I'll do my best." Zhao Ding's attitude towards Teacher Wang Li was much more serious than in the last competition. He listened to Teacher Wang Li's instructions before going on stage.
At this time, a young man was already standing on the stage. Obviously, he was the first student to appear in the Luli class.
In He Lin's opinion, Teacher Lu Li has a refined temperament. Compared with Teacher Liu Qiang's flamboyant personality, he is more suitable to be a teacher.
Of course, Mr. Liu Qiang's data analysis ability also enables him to become a good teacher.
Teacher Wang Li was... biased and emotional, incapable of rational analysis or specific guidance, but her concern for her students was genuine. This alone made her a perfect teacher.
Because it was the first time he met Teacher Lu Li, He Lin instinctively analyzed him and found that he best matched his image and personality as a teacher.
"Gu Xing, please teach me."
"Zhao Ding, please teach me."
After the two men saluted on the ring, they stood still and the referee shouted, "Ready, three, two, one, the fight begins."
As the starting sound fell, Zhao Ding launched a strong attack. His "Tiger Shark Sword Technique" was an offensive sword technique. If he didn't attack, he would lose faster.
Gu Xing used the "Bi Tao Sword Technique". He used basic sword techniques with his hands to continuously resist, and constantly changed his basic footwork with his feet, using the least amount of force to dissolve Zhao Ding's powerful attack power.
Zhao Ding was at a disadvantage. Although Zhao Ding had been the attacker without interruption, anyone could sense that he had fallen into his opponent's rhythm. Similar to the previous match, a prolonged attack would inevitably lead to failure. Unless something unexpected happened, Zhao Ding was likely to lose again. He Lin thought to himself as he analyzed the battle on the field.
"Zhao Ding is in bad shape. This situation is very similar to the last battle." Qian Yu, who was not very observant, could also see that the battle situation was not favorable for Zhao Ding.
"That's true. But that's how Zhao Ding fights. He can surprise people the first time. But when others become familiar with him, they can be easily targeted. Don't take it lightly, the same goes for you." Yu Kun said worriedly.
"How can I and that stupid big guy Zhao Ding be the same? Are you kidding me?" Qian Yu asked dissatisfiedly.
"Your fighting styles are very distinctive and can be easily targeted. Zhao Ding is good at attacking, and you are good at defending. Does your "Bead Sword Technique" have any offensive moves?" Yu Kun's attack hit the target, making Qian Yu understand his situation. He is really a good friend.
"It's okay, it's okay. Even if I'm being targeted, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm not thinking about winning. Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Right, Yuan Feng, why did you run away from our class?"
Yuan Feng chuckled and said, "Just say hello and go. Just say hello and go. Qian Yu, I think we should be like-minded comrades. We are both pacifists."
"You are such a sinister person. I dare not be your comrade-in-arms. I'm afraid you will stab me in the back. Wouldn't that be stupid?" Qian Yu really dares to say anything.
"Haha, classmate Qian Yu is really humorous." Yuan Feng no longer paid attention to Qian Yu. After saying a few words to Bi Yao, he left and returned to his class.
"Look, how popular Bi Yao is in our class." Qian Yu gossiped with Yu Kun in a low voice.
"There are only two of them in this class, young men from wealthy families. They are a perfect match, talented and beautiful. What's the matter? Are you..." Yu Kun glanced at Qian Yu suspiciously.
"How is that possible! I just can't stand Yuan Feng. He's so hypocritical and annoying." Qian Yu immediately clarified. He couldn't stand Bi Yao, that unruly and arrogant girl.
"Look at the game, Zhao Ding is going to lose."
"He won't go berserk again, will he?"
"I don't know. Look, Teacher Wang Li has stood up."
Sure enough, Teacher Wang Li and the referee, who had already seen that the outcome was about to be decided, both concentrated on preparing to attack.
There was no doubt that Zhao Ding was defeated.
"Thank you." After Gu Xing saluted, he immediately stepped back and took defensive actions.
Zhao Ding panted, bowed, and said, "Thank you for the gift." Then he left the stage with a gloomy face.
The lack of frenzy made both Wang Li and the referee feel relieved. However, Zhao Ding looked really bad. Wang Li wanted to say something to comfort Zhao Ding, but she didn't know what to say.
Zhao Ding returned to his seat, silent, wondering what he was thinking...
Teacher Wang Li looked at Zhao Ding worriedly, and then decided to let it go for the time being. This was her first year as a teacher, and she didn't know how to handle such a situation. After the competition, she would definitely find other experienced teachers and ask them what to do if she encountered such a situation.
Qian Yu and Yu Kun also wanted to say something, but Zhao Ding's current appearance was different from the familiar one they were familiar with, making them feel very unfamiliar. For a moment, they didn't dare to go up and talk to him.
He Lin shook his head, feeling that the inaction of Teacher Wang Li, Qian Yu and Yu Kun was childish.
Zhao Ding was in a low point, the perfect time to comfort him. At the same time, He Lin realized that this was also Zhao Ding's transformation period, the perfect time to gain his trust. Just like Wang Li's performance in the previous match, which had earned Zhao Ding's approval.
