Of course, the high school table tennis team is just for fun and its strength is average, but the championship in the five-school league also proves that it is quite strong.
"I originally thought that this was the extent of my talent and that I was considered an expert among ordinary people, but I didn't expect to have such an adventure!" Luo Yang felt a little excited inside.
His table tennis skills are indeed good, but the competition in this country is too competitive and there are so many good players. He cannot dominate even in the community, let alone a wider area.
Just recently, he was surfing the Internet and accidentally saw a forum called "Unbounded".
The name is very interesting, it means boundless and without limits, and the meaning is profound.
He was interested at the time, clicked on it and was immediately attracted by the content.
"Breathing techniques, Tai Chi, and spear stance... although they are all basic things, they actually teach the truth."
"Especially after practicing the breathing method, I feel much better mentally and can fall asleep as soon as I lie down every day."
"And after practicing Tai Chi, I seem to have some understanding of how to control my strength."
Luo Yang looked at his hands and said, "My table tennis skills have improved."
He initially thought that these were all scams, but he never expected that just practicing out of curiosity would have such an effect, and he was immediately amazed.
After all, there are too many scammers online now, which makes people feel like they are crying wolf.
"The moderator's name is [Jiukong]. I really don't know what kind of person he is. I really hope to meet him. It would be great if I could become his disciple."
There are very few people in the forum, and the moderator has not said anything other than posting cheats, which adds to the sense of mystery.
"The free ones are so awesome, how good are the paid ones?"
Luo Yang was very excited, but he had no money.
He is just in college and his monthly living expenses are only 600 yuan, which is still a long way from enough to buy the paid content in "Unbounded".
"But the prize money for the Table Tennis Freshman Cup champion this time is 10,000, which is enough to buy most of the paid content."
"My strength has improved now. I think even if I am not the champion, I am not far away."
While Luo Yang was planning in his mind, he was also doing stretching exercises to move his body.
After a while, the school's table tennis organizer called his name.
"Luo Yang."
"arrive."
Luo Yang responded, looked over, and found that it was a senior who was a bit fat.
Although he seems to be slow in movement, he doesn't dare to underestimate the opponent at all. This guy has a physique like this and is a member of the school team. He is definitely a master.
"My name is Xiong Qing. I'm currently a sophomore in the physical education department and the vice-captain of the table tennis team."
Xiong Qing's face was full of fat, and he smiled: "I saw on your registration form that you won the championship of the Five Schools League?"
"Yeah." Luo Yang nodded.
"Master, if you perform well later, how about joining our school table tennis team?"
Xiong Qing said: "Our school's table tennis is pretty good. If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to join the provincial team to play in competitions and pursue a professional career."
Of course, the latter sentence is just a polite expression.
If you want to play in the provincial team, you have to have outstanding talent, which is basically something that can only be developed through the practice of a young boy. A college freshman with such talent is called a monster.
Xiong Qing did not have such hope for Luo Yang, but it was necessary to recruit fresh blood for the school team. Luo Yang's past achievements were enough.
"Well... let me think about it." Luo Yang did not refuse directly.
"That's fine." Xiong Qing nodded.
The Table Tennis Freshman Cup was held at the Olympic Sports Center Table Tennis Hall. Due to venue fees and time issues, the competition was compressed into one day.
There are still quite a lot of people who sign up, but because the competition adopts a best-of-three format, plus a single-elimination system, the loser in each round is directly eliminated and has no chance of winning the championship.
Therefore, the entire event process proceeded relatively quickly.
There are more than 20 ping-pong tables on the field now, and it is not Luo Yang's turn yet, so he has time to chat here.
Xiong Qing thought that he was the best in ability and academic performance among all the freshmen, so he chatted with him here with the intention of recruiting him.
"Senior Xiong, I see there are girls participating in the competition. Is our competition gender-neutral?" Luo Yang looked around and found that there were several girls playing in the competition, and their opponents were boys.
There are huge differences between men and women in sports, which is caused by physiological factors and has nothing to do with equality.
The strength of the men's provincial table tennis team is probably comparable to that of the women's national team, and the men's provincial team may even have some advantages.
“The Freshman Cup is originally meant to give freshmen a sense of participation.”
Xiong Qing explained: "Moreover, women are not prohibited from participating in men's competitions. It's just that in high-level sports, the difference in strength between the two sexes is too great, so the competitions are divided into men's and women's competitions."
Xiong Qing looked around and then whispered, "Of course, the most important factor is that there are too few girls coming to compete. If we really want to form a women's team, I estimate there will only be a few people."
"Our captain thought it was too much trouble, so he just held a big mixed match."
After hearing his words, Luo Yang understood. He thought that the last sentence "too troublesome" was the essence.
"Luo Yang, it's your turn." The referee shouted in front.
"coming."
Luo Yang responded, turned to Xiong Qing and said, "Senior Xiong, I'm going to participate in the competition."
"Well, let's talk later downstairs."
"Both sides check each other's rackets, and if there are no problems, then let's get started."
The referees for each table were members of the school's table tennis team. Probably because they were too tired, they didn't waste any words and spoke very directly.
"Looks like a newcomer. Steal a long ball to test the waters."
The opponent seemed very nervous. Luo Yang served a long ball quickly and deep. The ball passed through before the opponent could react.
The referee also flipped the scoreboard and the current score was 1:0.
"It really is."
Luo Yang shook his head and played casually afterwards, easily winning with a big score of 2:0, and the small scores were always 11:1, 11:2 and so on.
It is a tradition in China. If you can beat the opponent 11:0, try not to play and give up one at the end.
Otherwise, it will not only make the other party lose face, but also easily cause diplomatic accidents.
But recently this unspoken rule seems to have been abolished. If you can shave the other person's head, just do it without hesitation.
As to whether it was true or not, Luo Yang was not very clear.
The next opponent seems to have some strength, but only a little.
Luo Yang is good at counter-spin serve, chop serve, hook serve, etc., and he is left-handed, so the opponent is not used to his ball path and he can easily win.
Every time it’s 2:0, and we beat our opponents by a large margin.
There is actually a sense of invincibility.
More and more people gathered around him, and every once in a while, his competition venue was surrounded by a circle, and he himself became the favorite to win.
"Ah, this is really just an entertainment competition. Few of the people who signed up have high skills, and some don't even know the rules."
"The combined serve, the tossing height of less than 16 centimeters, etc., there are more and more foul actions."
As long as the opponent does not raise any issues, the referee will turn a blind eye to these matters.
Maybe I know their level.
"Who's the next one? I hope you can give me a little surprise."
Luo Yang is usually the first to defeat his opponent, so he has a lot of time to rest.
As the competition goes on, there are fewer and fewer players, and it is estimated that there are only a dozen people left playing.
Although the rest are all relatively strong, Luo Yang has already considered himself the champion in his heart.
After all, these people's level is really low.
Before, he was still interested in watching other people's games, but after watching a few games, he only had one thought in mind: "Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?"
So I just stopped watching and closed my eyes to rest.
"Luo Yang, it's your turn."
The referee on the field shouted.
Because the number of contestants decreased and Luo Yang was the favorite, his competition venue was arranged in the middle position.
Luo Yang walked forward, looked at the opponent in front of him, and was suddenly stunned.
She is a girl, and she looks very beautiful and gentle!
"Hello." Zhou Miaoan smiled gently, making everyone present call her goddess.
Luo Yang quickly shook his head and made up his mind: "Humph, even if it's a girl, I won't let her down. I will definitely win the championship."
However, looking at the other party's gentle older sister appearance, Luo Yang had another inexplicable thought: "Giving up a few points won't count as letting the opponent win."
"It probably doesn't count."
The referee standing in the middle of the table said as usual: "Both sides check their rackets. If there are no problems, then the game will begin."
“The racket is fine.”
"no problem."
After the two men finished the inspection, they stood on both sides of the table, and there were spectators outside the venue cheering.
"Give in a little."
"Don't destroy people's self-confidence."
"Give in a bit!"
"..."
Luo Yang thought, do I need you to teach me this?
He picked up the ping-pong ball, not planning on serving it with any difficult throws like reverse spin or hook shots.
"Just serve a normal old man's ball."
"boom!"
A burst of sound was heard, and Luo Yang only saw a yellow figure passing by his left.
The speed was so fast that he was stunned where he was.
"What is this? A backhand twist or a violent lob."
Too fast, too fast.
He clearly saw it, but his brain and hands just didn't react!
He looked up and saw the other party smiling and saying:
"Classmate, don't be distracted while playing ball."
Haha, interesting, you are a master!
Luo Yang's eyes were firm.
"Since you are an expert, I won't let you down this time!!!"
…………
Tang Ansheng looked at Li Feiyang, who was wearing sportswear, and asked, "Are you ready?"
"good."
Li Feiyang stretched her body, and the tight effect of the sportswear showed off her curvy figure.
These days she logged into the [Unbounded] forum address given to her by Tang Ansheng. Some of the things there were the first time she had seen them and they were very novel.
"Is this what makes him special?" Li Feiyang thought to herself.
But thanks to the secrets inside, she no longer randomly hits the ping-pong ball into a fireball like before.
To be honest, she was a little suspicious whether this [Unbounded] forum was opened by some magical weapon.
Because only unreasonable things like artifacts can give birth to these magical things.
