Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 54 Hitting the Wall
"Yes, I'm from Yucai Primary School." Li Yan stood up and shook hands with Li Canhui.

With this skeleton, these palms, and these muscles, if I hadn't told you, I would have thought he was someone preparing for the high school entrance exam.

"I've heard a lot about you. Your legend is circulating in our school."

"Where."

"I'm very happy to have the opportunity to compete with you next time. I hope we can have a great time."

Li Canhui has a sunny smile.

"How old are you?"

The questions that you can't help but ask always have to be asked.

Li Canhui scratched his head and said with a smile: "I started school a year late. I ranked first in the city last year and wanted to go through the special recruitment route. However, I didn't pass the academic test and sprained my ankle before the physical test, so..."

"Another year of study?!" Li Yan was shocked. It's not that he's growing too fast, it's that he's really reached that age!

A dimensionality reduction attack? But thinking about it this way, I just defeated Liang Jian with my 24-year-old mind, so I don't seem to have the right to criticize him.

"Our teacher has been paying attention to your performance all the way," Li Canhui showed a rare maturity among elementary school students, "You are indeed getting stronger and stronger. In another month, I dare not imagine how you will improve in the city tournament."

Don't praise me, brother. I'll be very embarrassed if you get beaten up.

"So, this game may be a preview of the city finals. Our teacher will also record it. I hope we can go all out and present a wonderful match."

Are you trying to get information from me?
"Okay." Li Yan didn't dare to say anything harsh, and the words "What if you can't get first place in the city this year" were stuck in her throat.

It turns out that he is sane.

Lin Zhiyuan spent the entire afternoon explaining to him Li Canhui's terrifying strength.

He was the first in the men's singles in the city's elementary school badminton competition last year, and was also the main contributor to Experimental Primary School winning the team championship for three consecutive years.

He also has another identity: the number one men's singles player of the Lin City Youth Badminton Team.

However, this is somewhat affected by the fact that he is two years older than normal elementary school students. His body has developed, and he is actually in elementary school, so it's a bug.

Li Yan asked the same question that helped him win the last game: "He is so strong, what is his weakness?"

But this time he didn't give the winning answer: "No weakness."

"No way..." Li Xinyuan covered her mouth in horror, "Invincible?"

Lin Zhiyuan lowered his voice and responded seriously: "Invincible."

"That's my home court." Li Yan laughed dryly, "After lunch break, I'll let you experience what a Supreme VIP Black Card is."

"What do you mean?" Li Xinyuan asked.

"Actually, I don't know either. I just feel like it's not a very good thing." The fat man replied.

The semi-finals started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the final was scheduled for four o'clock. The physical requirements for the champion and runner-up were quite high.

There was no mixed doubles in the primary school competition. The champions and runners-up of the men's and women's doubles were decided yesterday, and the women's singles also completed the final competition in the morning.

After the competition, many parents and students chose to stay and watch the men's singles competition.

Logically, this should have made Li Yan's adrenaline surge, but this time there was only pressure but no motivation.

Because he really couldn't beat him.

As the leader of the youth team, Li Canhui faced off against players from the city team who were all from the youth team, who were at the same level as Coach Ding.

Ding was only a coach for the city's second team, and he quit to become a coach because he couldn't make the grade.

How to fight this?
Both sets of semi-final matches are very interesting to watch. One is the king Li Canhui against the talented teenager Li Yan who has been in the limelight recently, and the other is the confrontation between two of the Four Heavenly Kings, Dongmen No. 2 Lin Tao and Dongmen Experimental Hong Lang.

As a result, everyone quickly turned their attention to Lin Tao and Hong Lang, because there was no suspense about Li Yan's side.

The first game was 15:6.

Li Canhui is very fast. This speed is not the physical speed of the small guy who was Li Yan's opponent in the first round, nor is it the fast playing rhythm of Liang Jian, but the speed of controlling the game.

He takes the simplest steps and the shortest route to appear on your return route, using precise landing points to accurately predict your passive return, playing as if he is one second ahead of you.

Li Yan was beaten badly, with his speed, basketball IQ and technique all suppressed in all aspects.

Just like that, Li Canhui still has a powerful smash.

It can be said that there is no defense at all.

Li Yan was exhausted and out of breath. He tried many methods in the first game, such as changing the rhythm to get rid of the opponent, increasing the speed, and making fake moves to deceive the opponent. He did everything he should do, but it was completely useless.

This Li Canhui is like a piece of iron plate. You can't penetrate it no matter what you do. He will be knocked unconscious by a single hit on the head.

“How can I lose so ugly…” Li Yan adjusted his breathing and decided that even if he lost completely, he had to lose standing.

A supporter of violent attack, not afraid of any strong enemy!
In the second game, he was like a red-hot player, killing from high positions, using diagonal and straight lines, heavy kills and point kills in rotation.

Overclocking output still has an effect, and some magical balls really leave Li Canhui helpless.

But after rushing for more than ten balls, I saw the score was 6:7 and I was still behind.

Li Yan was discouraged all of a sudden because he felt that his physical strength had begun to run out and was about to reach the limit.

The peak...is coming soon?

Li Yan's brain shook and his breathing became very rapid. He adjusted himself for a long time before signaling that he could continue the game.

This made Lin Zhiyuan and Li Xinyuan in the stands very anxious.

Let’s end this game here. Li Canhui, it’s not time for the ace to appear on the stage yet.

7:15, with a sudden defeat, Li Yan looked like she had given up the game.

Li Canhui seemed very dissatisfied with this behavior. After the game, he shook hands with him and walked away.

The district competition journey ended here. Li Yan won the ticket to the city competition and defeated Liang Jian, one of the four kings, to enter the top four in the Dongmen District and successfully became a seeded player again.

At least the extra games in the city tournament have nothing to do with him, and he won't meet a seeded player in the first round of the quarter-finals. If he wants to face opponents of the level of the Four Heavenly Kings again, he will have to reach the quarter-finals at least.

A month later, among the four heavenly kings who remained the same, the only one who could pose a threat to Li Yan who had made another breakthrough was Li Canhui.

On the way back, Lin Zhiyuan acted as a spiritual mentor and kept instilling in Li Yan the concepts that "failure is the mother of success" and "the state of every game is different", fearing that Li Yan would never recover.

In fact, Li Yan is really okay. It is reasonable that he cannot beat Li Canhui. With the system added, it is still unknown who will win in a month - besides, he already has a magical plan.

The impact of this competition exceeded his expectations. In the eyes of his classmates and those who were unaware of Li Yan's purpose in participating in the competition, Li Yan had already become an immortal.

After all, in China's education system, "good grades" and "good at sports" have always been somewhat contradictory, and it is almost a consensus that people will engage in sports if they are not good at studying.

When she grew up, Li Yan realized that everything was the result of the influence of interests.

The imperfect and underdeveloped sports system cannot provide adequate protection for children who practice sports, so everyone will definitely choose options with more stable fallbacks.

Li Yan's badminton team made it to the semi-finals of the regional tournament, completely establishing herself as a great player who is proficient in both literature and martial arts.

The bad boy group represented by He Han and Wang Chao even showed awe of him.

But for those who know Li Yan’s goal, his loss to Li Canhui this time can be regarded as a wake-up call that can make him sober up.

Chen Wenjing specially invited Li Yan to have tea, just to ask:
"Have you hit a wall?"
