In less than a minute, Lu Ran came behind them. One of his hands reached out, clasped Jiang Nuan's waist, and walked directly between Jiang Nuan and Jian Ming.

Jian Ming lowered his eyes and smiled: "You came here before you finished listening to the coach's comment?"

"Your comment is more meaningful." Lu Ran put one hand on the fence, turned his face to the side and looked at Jane.

"You didn't play well just now, so I have nothing to comment."

At this time, someone walked under the auditorium, waved his face shield, and shouted: "Jiang Nuan!"

"Eh? It's Lin Shu!" Jiang Nuan was about to wave his hand when Lu Ran pressed him down.

Lin Shu didn't care about Lu Ran's reaction at all, and was about to walk into the auditorium when Lu Ran grabbed Jiang Nuan directly.

"Let's go and prepare for the game."

"My game isn't that fast!"

"Then adjust your state and let your emotions stabilize."

"I'm very stable now!"

When they were passing through a passage, Jiang Nuan was dragged in by the other party, and the back of his head almost hit the wall. With a "boom", Jiang Nuanyi thought that the back of his head was cracked, but he didn't expect the back of his head to be there. It was Lu Ran's hand.

"Is your hand okay?" Jiang Nuan was startled.

She just took a half step forward when Lu Ran's chest was so close that she was almost against the wall.

Occasionally, staff members and contestants walked past, and Jiang Nuan immediately wanted to squeeze through the gap between Lu Ran and the wall. Lu Ran did not reach out to stop her, but pressed her directly on top of her, leaving no space at all.

Jiang Nuan's internal organs were almost squeezed out.

She didn't understand what happened to Lu Ran suddenly. As soon as she looked up, she saw him staring at her with his head lowered. It was obvious that he had been looking at her from the very beginning.

Jiang Nuan could tell from the shadow under Lu Ran's feet that there were people passing by them all the time, maybe looking at them.

This is the arena!

Jiang Nuan was about to lower his head, but Lu Ran suddenly turned his face and kissed him directly.

The heat of his lips surprised Jiang Nuan, and his kiss was oppressive, pushing Jiang Nuan against the wall, unable to move.

Jiang Nuan was terrified!

What if this is seen by other staff!

The more Jiang Nuan wanted to hide, Lu Ran immediately grabbed her cheek. Jiang Nuan wanted to purse her lips to express her dissatisfaction with Lu Ran, but she didn't expect to smack Lu Ran's tongue.

Jiang Nuan's heart suddenly throbbed, and she also keenly felt that the muscles in Lu Ran's body were tense.

In the next second, he pulled her lips apart even more forcefully. When the tip of her tongue was entangled by the opponent, it was like an irreversible transfer counterattack. She was completely defeated, and blood rushed to the tip of her tongue, as if she could not wait to be caught by Lu Ran. take away.

Jiang Nuan's fists were clenched tightly until Lu Ran finally let go of her.

The tip of his nose rubbed against her forehead.

"It's normal for me to kiss you...why are you avoiding me?"

"This is the place for the competition!" Jiang Nuan pushed the opponent hard again, but Lu Ran didn't move.

"But I'm covering you, no one sees you." Lu Ran's voice was steady, but his breath was very hot, with the sharpness and masculinity just after the game, but he spoke to her in a soft voice, like ice Blending with fire, Jiang Nuan wanted to run even more.

"I...I'm going to challenge Zhang Jinyang! I'm going...going to adjust my state!"

This time Jiang Nuan squatted down and slipped out between Lu Ran and the wall.

In fact, Lu Ran could drag her back as long as he stretched out his hand, but probably considering that her opponent in the next match was really powerful, he let her go.

Jiang Nuan thought as he walked, it must be because she and Jian Ming were leaning against each other and said a few words just now, and Lu Ran was upset again.

Just when she was bowing her head, she suddenly bumped into someone.

"Oops! I'm sorry!"

As soon as Jiang Nuan looked up, the other party just turned around, and when he met Jiang Nuan's eyes, the other party laughed.

"Isn't this cute? Do you think your sister is very handsome, so you came to give her a hug?" Qiao Yuling was originally cradling her arms, looking like she was watching the game seriously, but she stretched out a hand to directly Holding Jiang Nuan's shoulders, he pulled towards him.

"Sister Yuling..."

"We're going to fight Zhang Jinyang soon. Little Sun's aggression is not at the same level as Chang Xin's. Her attack is not soft, she doesn't hesitate, and she won't be shaken by any loss, even if it's her own mistake." Qiao Yuling lowered his eyes, looked at Jiang Nuan and said.

"Thank you, Sister Yuling, for your advice."

"What can I point you to?" Qiao Yuling smiled, "Lu Ran is the one who really pointed you."

"Ah? No... I didn't give much advice this time, I just told me to take it seriously."

Does Qiao Yuling know about her relationship with Lu Ran?

Jiang Nuan's ears suddenly turned red.

"I feel it faintly from your fencing style. Lu Ran accompanies you to practice, so that you are under the transition of offense and defense of high-level male players for a long time. How tall are the players? Not to mention entering a national competition for the first time. Maybe you will be nervous before the competition, but once you enter the competition and you find that your opponent is not as fast and powerful as Lu Ran, your original uneasy mentality It will be easy to enter a stable state. With a sparring partner like Lu Ran, we female players have no chance to PK a few times a year."

When Qiao Yuling said this, Jiang Nuan realized that in her own progress, perhaps the person who paid the most effort was not herself, but Lu Ran.

She looked back at Lu Ran subconsciously. He had already walked out of the aisle and was sitting on the bench, watching Mu Sheng's game.

"Let me see how far you can push Zhang Jinyang. Is she your whetstone or your stepping stone."

Qiao Yuling put down his hand, Jiang Nuan said "thank you", and hurriedly walked to his kendo.

The game will start in a few minutes.

Zhang Jinyang was holding a face shield and was talking to his coach. Unlike Chang Xin's relationship with the coach, Zhang Jinyang has been exchanging his thoughts with the coach, and the coach nodded frequently.

She would occasionally laugh, in contrast to Chang Xin's nervousness before the game.

Although they were all teenage girls, Jiang Nuan saw Shen Lian, a battle-hardened person, in Zhang Jinyang.

He Yun came over, gave Zhang Jinyang a high five, and said, "It's a pity, I also have a game, I can't see the game between you and Jiang Nuan."

"I will 'train' her well." Zhang Jinyang raised the corner of his mouth.

He Yun chuckled lightly: "Then you have to be careful, don't be tempered by her."

After finishing speaking, He Yun pulled up her long smooth hair. She did not wear makeup, but her beautiful facial features were very eye-catching. The appearance of holding a sword while holding a face guard was a bit like a heroine and a devil in a martial arts novel. Chic.

Before leaving, she smiled in Jiang Nuan's direction.

Probably because Zhang Jinyang was too calm, but instead made Jiang Nuan nervous.

His heart tightened, blood flowed one by one, and Jiang Nuan beat his chest.

Take it easy, Jiang Nuan.

You have already locked in the qualification to enter the top 32, so you don't need to be so nervous.

She raised her legs, hugged her knees, pressed her side face on her knees, and closed her eyes.

She wanted to get rid of all kinds of chatter, the sound of the broadcast, and the crunch of swords touching in the distance, but the more she tried to drive them out, the clearer they became.

Jiang Nuan clenched her fists. Zhang Jinyang was the closest to Qiao Yuling. They represented the highest level of the younger generation of women's swords. She had to get close to them and surpass them in order to catch up with the person she always wanted to catch up with.

In his mind was the duel between himself and Lu Ran in the fencing hall. Lu Ran's slashing in the air was so fast, all the murderous aura was compressed in that silver thread that cut through the air.

It was like frozen time, firmly stuck in Jiang Nuan's brain.

"Xiao Nuan! Xiao Nuan! The game is about to start! You're not uncomfortable, right?" Jiang Huai's voice sounded.

Jiang Nuan opened his eyes instantly and straightened his back.

The world is bright enough to be dazzling.

The hustle and bustle are still there.

But it doesn't seem to belong to her world.

"I'm fine, Dad, don't worry." Jiang Nuan patted Jiang Huai's shoulder and stood up.

She moved her wrists, carefully checked her shoelaces, put on her gloves, and stepped out onto the track.

Zhang Jinyang's posture is very tall and straight, and this kind of tall and straight carries the confidence that he will overwhelm the whole world to the ground.

She didn't show any kindness to Jiang Nuan, and there was no superfluous expression on her face.

The two salute each other, and the battle has already begun.

Jiang Nuan's breath sank into his throat, and as the coach signaled to start, they quickly approached each other.

Zhang Jinyang's steps were skillful and steady, with an aura that would speed up the surprise attack.

The swords of the two kept touching slightly, which seemed to be a test, but because they knew each other's strength level, they would launch a more obvious attack on each other at any time.

Jiang Nuan took advantage of Zhang Jinyang's knees and was ready to step forward and launched an attack in advance, and threw the tip of his sword towards the opponent extremely quickly. Zhang Jinyang's reaction was so fast that Jiang Nuan felt that his sword was being pressed by the powerful force. Going down, Zhang Jinyang quickly shot and hit her on the shoulder.

Zhang Jinyang clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice.

The referee announced that Zhang Jinyang had scored the first point.

Jiang Nuan exhaled.

Zhang Jinyang's speed, ability to instantly attack, and transition between offense and defense are all neat and rigorous, so Jiang Nuan has not found any flaws, and she will also "take risks". But Zhang Jinyang's "adventure" combined with her technique was a sudden killer move.

Next, Zhang Jinyang and Jiang Nuan restrained each other, Jiang Nuan moved forward, Zhang Jinyang retreated, and then she would immediately move forward to force Jiang Nuan to lose his rhythm on the way back, but Jiang Nuan steadily suppressed Zhang Jinyang's rhythm. Moving forward, between the two, the saber formed an arc from time to time due to the force and the slash, and the split air seemed to fall down in pieces with the movement of the two of them.

Suddenly, in the process of Zhang Jinyang forcing Jiang Nuan to switch forward and backward, she suddenly slashed sideways so much that her brain couldn't pass it down in time. Even if Jiang Nuan retreated quickly and smoothly, Zhang Jinyang's sword tip was still on her shoulder. In the throw, Zhang Jinyang took another sword.

This kind of wide opening and closing can also make the pace, torso and arms linked together to maintain such a high-speed attack, Jiang Nuan felt the terror of the other party.

In the third sword, Jiang Nuan took the initiative to attack, three consecutive attacks forced Zhang Jinyang to lose his rhythm, followed by a decisive and deep lunge, and a sword hit the opponent's left chest!

She could feel her body being stretched by inertia, and she adjusted herself to a stride with the most reasonable acceleration. The tip of her sword was so close to Zhang Jinyang that she scratched her metal clothes, but Zhang Jinyang pressed the sword with his backhand sideways. Jiang Nuan was surprised by the instant body coordination.

She sensed the imminent danger of the mountains and the rain, and it would be very dangerous if she missed the blow. Just when her legs were retracted and the defense was ready, Zhang Jinyang didn't even use the cross step, and directly surpassed Jiang by a depth. The warm lunge stabbed directly under her shoulder.

Jiang Nuan's nerves ached slightly, she didn't score a point, while Zhang Jinyang has scored three consecutive points.

This is not a good start.

Zhang Jinyang didn't seem to disturb Jiang Nuan's rhythm or control her speed, but he could always reverse the situation.

Jiang Nuan exhaled, raised his hand and squeezed the tip of his sword.

Except for Lu Ran and Jianming, almost no one else had let her experience the feeling of being suppressed in this way.

She lowered her head, looked at her own shadow on the ground, raised her toes, stepped on it, raised her heels again, and stepped on it again.

It is not her center of gravity that she adjusts, but her heart.

Lu Ran's attack was so quick, and she suppressed it like a smash, and she could find that flash of inspiration.

Facing Zhang Jinyang, of course she can.

The two confronted each other, Jiang Nuan clenched his teeth, Zhang Jinyang suddenly approached, the angle of the falling sword was tricky, slightly sinking, the posture was like a swooping falcon, Jiang Nuan's breath was tight in his throat, and he slammed upwards, It stands to reason that she exposed almost the entire effective position of her shoulders and chest. This was a very important mistake. Zhang Jinyang seized the opportunity and stabbed with little change in the angle. Fast enough to cross the step like a sprint, the wrist is obviously twisted at an angle, but it blocked Zhang Jinyang's attack and even forced her to retreat.

This is the first time that Jiang Nuan has forced Zhang Jinyang to take five steps back since the start of the game, and all this happened in less than two seconds, Jiang Nuan slammed Zhang Jinyang!

The audience watching this moment took a breath in unison.

Even Jiang Huai, who had been frowning and worried about Jiang Nuan, couldn't help but shouted "Okay!"

Zhang Jinyang paused for a moment. She originally thought that her previous three consecutive scores had put a lot of pressure on Jiang Nuan, but she did not expect her attack to be more risky, and this kind of adventure took her to the brink of crisis without wavering. confidence.

"Interesting." Zhang Jinyang lowered his head and smiled, "It seems that I have to be more ruthless."

With the next strike, Zhang Jinyang quickly approached Jiang Nuan without hesitation. This became a competition purely based on speed and strength. Zhang Jinyang attacked Jiang Nuan in three and a half steps, and Jiang Nuan slashed diagonally when the fourth step was about to land!

The two seemed to be attracted to each other, but Jiang Nuan knew that he was slow.

Even one tenth of a second is too slow.

In this round of duel, Zhang Jinyang's control of pace and distance won her over.

Lu Ran didn't know when he came to the stand closest to Jiang Nuan, and Jian Ming also came to his side. The two were almost side by side in front of the fence.

Lu Ran, who was wearing a white fencing suit, and the conciseness of the black suit, formed the silhouettes of two heroes.

"Zhang Jinyang is very fast and has a strong sense of distance. Although Xiao Nuan is quite talented in controlling distance, Zhang Jinyang has more experience than her." Jian Ming said.

"You should hurry up to Zhang Jinyang. You and I are the fastest and fastest among the fencers Jiang Nuan has ever met, but we are men. Even if Xiao Nuan can absorb our skills and the way to deal with opponents, boys and girls are not the same. There is a gap between physical strength and explosiveness, and what she has taken from us cannot be fully utilized." Lu Ran's expression was still calm and calm.

There was no heavy expectation or warm encouragement in his gaze when he looked at Jiang Nuan.

"Aren't you worried that she will lose to Zhang Jinyang?"

"She can't win forever. But I know that every step she takes, she is desperately approaching me." Lu Ran turned his face to look at Jianming.

Jian Ming lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly: "You know... Sometimes your arrogance is annoying."

Several rounds passed, the score became 6-3, Zhang Jinyang was still scoring, and Jiang Nuan was constantly adapting to her.

She rotated her wrist, it was time to get out of the circle that Zhang Jinyang had drawn for her. She didn't seem to be in place, but she couldn't get out of the circle.

With the next strike, Jiang Nuan rushed out, with a posture that it didn't matter even if he was hit by the opponent, he hit the left and right slightly, the speed was very fast and dense, Zhang Jinyang tried hard to destroy Jiang Nuan's fencing line, but this moment Jiang Nuan saw a crack in the unbreakable city wall, suddenly lowered his center of gravity but approached the opponent extremely quickly, slashed upwards, and hit Zhang Jinyang in the ribs skillfully and thrillingly!

"This angle is absolutely amazing." Jian Ming raised the corners of his lips, "It looks like you are good at it. Any angle, as long as you dare to do it, you can hit it."

Lu Ran propped his chin up, looked at her, and did not answer concisely.

But he remembered that when Jiang Nuan pretended to be Xiangyang to compete with him, he had hit her with the same angle.

It's just that Jiang Nuan's sword is more coordinated and more aggressive than the one he used at the beginning, whether it is the coordination of his steps, the control of the center of gravity or the extension of his arms.

Zhang Jinyang instinctively tightened his body back to avoid the sword, but it was too close and too fast, like an irreversible rush, which made her realize the instantaneous explosive power belonging to Jiang Nuan.

My heart pounded inexplicably.

It was only a few swords. Zhang Jinyang felt not only Jiang Nuan's adjustment to her own state, but also her super intake ability.

"Am I your nourishment?" Zhang Jinyang returned to the original place, but he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

She immediately launched an attack to suppress Jiang Nuan, pushing Jiang Nuan closer as if it were about to burst from the 10,000-meter snow-capped mountain to form a surging white tide. At the same time that Jiang Nuan opened the distance from Zhang Jinyang, Zhang Jinyang suddenly stabbed!

Zhang Jinyang had confidence in such speed and strength, even if Jiang Nuan expected it, it was too late to react.

But she was wrong. Jiang Nuan made a small block, impartially, and completed the defense in a thrilling way!

Zhang Jinyang's nerves were tense, she knew too well that once such an attack failed, Jiang Nuan would never let go of her flaws! It was no longer worthwhile to retreat, Zhang Jinyang immediately raised his sword to defend, Jiang Nuan almost flew over, the toe of his right foot supported the whole body, and almost rushed into Zhang Jinyang's arms. Zhang Jinyang's sword failed to block Jiang Nuan and was hit!

"It seems that Xiao Nuan has found the right feeling." Jian Ming said softly.

"Yeah." Lu Ran's lips curled slightly.

He saw Jiang Nuan jump up slightly, like a little rabbit who wants to be happy but has to restrain himself.

Cute enough to push her back down the rabbit hole.

The next battle between the two was very tight, and the three consecutive swords ended within one to two seconds.

The retina seems to be torn apart by the sword tips of these two people, and every moment seems to be divided into countless parts, which makes people want to replay it in slow motion frame by frame to see exactly what happened.

When the score of 14 to 12 came, Zhang Jinyang did not feel relieved at all.

Her original intention was to suppress Jiang Nuan, but Jiang Nuan's sword was more calm than a sword, and the changes and raids became more and more unpredictable. Zhang Jinyang, who was in the lead, had a sense of being pressed.

It was as if she had become a deer who was running wildly trying to distance herself, while Jiang Nuan was the calm but accompany hunter behind her.

The next sword, she must win.

Zhang Jinyang's attack was very fast, but it was a false move. Jiang Nuan raised his sword to reveal the bottom. Zhang Jinyang immediately backhanded and slashed. The timing was perfect, but Jiang Nuan then backhanded and slanted sideways to avoid it. Zhang Jinyang's sword Jian passed her sideways by an inch, but Jiang Nuan shot decisively and hit the side of Zhang Jinyang's face shield!

At 14 to 13, when the advantage was narrowed again, Zhang Jinyang gritted his teeth and turned around to hold the tip of his sword.

"I really want to know, who has more pressure between the two of them? Is it Zhang Jinyang, who is about to win with a single stroke, or Jiang Nuan, who loses with just one mistake?" Jian Ming asked in a probing tone.

"Zhang Jinyang." Lu Ran replied.

Without any hesitation.

"why?"

"Because she knows that even if she wins Xiaonuan this time, she should lose next time."
