Chapter 707 Beat You Until You Can’t Fight Back
When Xia Wanyuan said this, everyone present, except Jun Shiling, could not help but laugh. Ignoring the fact that Rick used to be the champion of the World Championships, just looking at Xia Wanyuan’s physique, it didn’t seem like she knew how to wield a sword.
“Professor Xia, it’s fine. Let’s do it.” The students who were training at the side also surrounded her. Xia Wanyuan was now Qing University’s darling. They could not let anyone hurt her.
Only Jun Shiling leisurely walked down the stage and found the best spot to sit down, as if waiting to watch the duel between the two.
“Could it be that the professor finds my skills too lacking and is unwilling to compete with me?” Xia Wanyuan’s gaze comforted the fencing team instructor. The instructor knew that Xia Wanyuan was not a reckless person, so he temporarily calmed down.
“Go ahead, then.” Although Rick felt that Xia Wanyuan was very beautiful, after being provoked by Xia Wanyuan, he threw the thought of being protective of the fairer sex to the back of his mind.
Jun Shiling was already sitting leisurely on the chair. The students of Qing University knew him and had already made a cup of tea respectfully.
“Professor Xia, go change your clothes too.” Rick followed the fencing team’s coach to change into protective clothing. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was standing still, he reminded her.
“No need, I’m not wearing protective clothing.” Xia Wanyuan had seen this sport on television before. Perhaps for modern people, it was hard to train for this.
But Xia Wanyuan had received training from a young age. Even though her current body was not as agile as in her previous life, she was confident that no one could hurt her.
The others did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so confident. To them, fencing and wearing protective clothing were necessary. Xia Wanyuan did not even wear protective clothing. Could it be that she did not understand this sport at all?
“Okay.” Rick smiled. “Since Professor Xia doesn’t wear protective clothing, I won’t wear it either.”
At this moment, Jun Shiling, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. He looked at the fencing team’s coach. “As a coach, shouldn’t you take note of the safety of the field?”
Although he did not look at Xia Wanyuan, she knew that he was talking about her. She smiled helplessly and looked at the coach. “Where is the changing room?”
The coach called for a female student to bring Xia Wanyuan to the changing room. He then called for the other teachers to sit in the audience seats and then carefully waited beside Jun Shiling.
The coach could not understand why Jun Shiling would be here watching the fencing competition. As long as he wanted to watch it, he could send the world champion team home to perform for him alone, right? But he did not dare to ask this question.
Soon, Xia Wanyuan and Rick were dressed and ready to go.
The female student who had accompanied Xia Wanyuan in to change her clothes did not even dare look at the stage.
After all, they were in the changing room earlier. Xia Wanyuan changed her clothes and pulled her back, letting her perform the fencing competition’s entrance etiquette. The young student almost wanted to cover her face and cry. She did not even know the etiquette of entering the arena!! Clearly, she did not even pass the first test of fencing. She considered whether she should remind the coach to call the medical staff over first.
In the arena, Xia Wanyuan and Rick had already performed their pre-match etiquette.
Rick also noticed that Xia Wanyuan’s bow movements were unfamiliar, and contempt flashed in his eyes. “Professor Xia, you don’t have to force yourself. Otherwise, we can let you win this round.”
“Ready.” Xia Wanyuan did not answer Rick’s question, but looked at the judge on the side.
The judge gestured, and Xia Wanyuan and Rick put on their helmets.
The two of them were using foil swords. Once the referee gave the order to begin, the two of them officially entered the competition mode.
Considering that Xia Wanyuan was a woman, Rick was prepared to give her three moves. However, when he saw the look in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes as she raised her sword, he subconsciously went into full alert mode.
He had thought that Xia Wanyuan would put up a defensive stance, but who knew that Xia Wanyuan would strike out with a stab without any tricks.
Rick didn’t expect Xia Wanyuan’s offense to be so fierce. He had even prepared a series of fancy sword moves, ready to show off in front of her.
However, he was completely thrown into disarray by Xia Wanyuan’s fierce momentum. Rick raised his sword to meet her, but he discovered that Xia Wanyuan’s small body, which had only reached his chin, had actually erupted with such power.
His hand was numb from the shock, but he was still the champion of the previous Youth Championship. He used all his strength to block Xia Wanyuan’s move.
After successfully blocking the first wave of attacks, Rick took a deep breath and adjusted his grip on his sword. This time, he no longer looked at Xia Wanyuan with contempt. He took out all his strength and prepared for the next battle.
In the audience, most of the teachers could not tell what was going on. They only felt that Xia Wanyuan’s fencing move was really fierce, and that she could actually reach a draw with Rick. She really had some skill.
The coaches and students had different expressions. Generally speaking, the simplest action required extremely high level skills to be able to display the greatest effect.
Xia Wanyuan’s attack seemed simple, but most of the team members present could not muster that much strength.
In the second round, Rick attacked, as the defensive one attacked now.
Having witnessed the viciousness of Xia Wanyuan’s attack, Rick immediately stabbed forward.
Under the helmet, the corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up slightly as she moved forward to meet Rick’s sword. The sword clashed with Rick’s, producing a grating sound.
Just when everyone thought it was a draw again, Xia Wanyuan’s wrist trembled slightly. At an extremely tricky angle, the tip of the sword stabbed directly at Rick’s chest.
The detector on the protective suit beeped. Xia Wanyuan hit him once.
At this time, a part of Rick’s psychological defense had been broken by Xia Wanyuan. The next part of the competition was even simpler. There was no pattern to Xia Wanyuan’s moves. When thouhe ght that she would strike straight, she would play tricks with him. When he thought that she was going to play tricks, she would strike back.
Towards the end, Rick was obviously beaten to the point where he couldn’t fight back, and his actions had a hint of desperation.
The audience watched with great interest. The main thing was that Xia Wanyuan’s movements were truly beautiful! Her movements were smooth and fluid!
