Chapter 99: Retrieving the Moon from the Seabed

  In the end, he agreed. To this extent, it's okay to just mention it to Lin Nan. Who knows, Lin Nan might even praise him for being responsible. After reluctantly agreeing, Li Xiaobai thought with some pride.

  Today's classes have passed without a shred of nostalgia.

  As the teacher walked out of the classroom, Guo went to look for Yuan Garden. Li Xiaobai and Xia Xinger left the classroom together.

  The day of the final battle is approaching, and Xia Xiang'er's standard is somewhat expected by Li Xiaobai.

  "What's gotten into you," Xia Xiang'er said with a sly smile, "do you really want me to win that badly?"

  It's natural to be recognized as such, but does it mean I've made myself obvious?

  After all, it was my proposal, if you lose the game, wouldn't I be very embarrassed? After saying this, Xia Xiner pouted and looked uninterested.

  This guy is either trying to win or lose, it's her own suggestion to swap teams, isn't she going to regret it again?!

  Forget it, Xia Xiner's words are at least aware of some measure when no one provokes her. Although she was invited to the national ball club by herself, there is no need to put too much energy on her.

  When the two arrived at Guo Qiu She, almost all the personnel had already gathered.

  Tell everyone to stand in line, facing all members, Ge Dazhuang was very serious about roll call. Is this a kindergarten lineup after school? It's really speechless.

  "Uh, except for two who are absent, everyone is here. Today's main event is a match between Xia Xiner and Chen Jianing. Today's content is relatively free, so you can either watch the match or form your own teams to practice."

  After saying a few more irrelevant and pointless words, Ge Dazhi finally let everyone disperse.

  This guy, Li Xiaobai, has a lecturing tone that is quite severe.

  "Li Xiaobai, let's go practice together."

  When everyone gathered around No. 1 stage, Li Ruo came over and pulled his hem, saying in a low voice.

  Only a few people, mostly girls, don't plan to watch this game. For boys, the competition between girls, whether it's playing ball or fighting, is super attention-grabbing, especially if they're beauties. Xia Xiner doesn't need to be mentioned, she's a top-notch beauty even in school. Chen Jianning looks a bit delicate and pretty, also very nice to look at. If you don't appreciate this match, it would be a real pity.

  "Tomorrow then, I still want to watch the game today." After saying that, Li Xiaobai also planned to follow them.

  Wolf: Only listening to the back of Liuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuliuli

  The first time, I was just slightly sizing up her friend and was called a rascal. The second time, I just wanted to watch the match and was called a pervert, it's not even a cold winter, why are you randomly putting labels on him?

  "I went there because I'm his classmate," This senior sister, except for being maybe one year older than him in age, didn't have any other qualities of a senior sister. Although he didn't know what a senior sister should be like, Li Xiaobai felt that at the very least it shouldn't be someone like Lì Rǎnrǎn. Giving her a glance, Li Xiaobai said, "If it were you, wouldn't you cheer on your classmate?"

  Of course not, my classmates are all cheering for me. Watching Li Xiaobai walk towards the center of the crowd, Lìu Rǎn Rǎn also had to go over and take a look. The National Ball Society is really boring, since many of the third-year students left the club one after another, there isn't even anyone who can talk.

  The familiar figure squeezed to the front row, at this time, Ge Dazhuang had already sat down from the referee's seat, in front of him was a table, on which was placed the scoreboard, at this moment, the score was 0:0.

  The competition adopts the current eleven-point system, but it is not a general five-game three-win system, only a three-game two-win system.

  After mentioning a rule that everyone knows, Xia Xiner and Chen Jianning started trying the ball after a simple warm-up.

  "Xia Xiner actually used a big knife, I really didn't expect it."

  "That's right, generally speaking, except for those formal contestants, few people use big knives, and even fewer girls do. Is Xiang'er really that amazing?"

  "Still left-handed, must be very formidable?"

  ……

  The forehand grip is similar to holding a sword, with the palm facing downwards. The backhand grip is similar to holding a pen, with the thumb and index finger pinching the handle of the racket and the other three fingers supporting the back of the racket. In professional players, more use the forehand grip because this way of holding the racket makes both forehand and backhand strokes more balanced. However, using the backhand grip has its own advantages, with some professional players being more fond of this way of holding the racket. Especially in China, there are many world champions who use the backhand grip.

  Due to grip type and habit issues, in our country, many amateur players also like this relaxed and casual way of holding the racket.

  Even so, there is no distinction between the two grip styles. Where did the conclusion that holding the racket horizontally is definitely more powerful come from? Moreover, being left-handed is not necessarily impressive, and overly subjective comments are quite annoying, so take it back quickly!

  However, Xia Xiner's hands were equally agile, which surprised Li Xiaobai.

  I remember when we practiced badminton together, she was holding the racket with her right hand.

  If this country had a hundred thousand Xia Xiner... forget it, that would be explosive.

  "You serve first..."

  After the game started formally, Chen Jianing first hit the ball to Xia Xiner's side and smiled at Xia Xiner.

  With this attitude, it's strange that she didn't get angry. Xia Xiner had always insisted on serving as the weak side. Thinking of their practice sessions, Li Xiaobai muttered to himself. However, Xia Xiner simply reached out with her small hand and directly grasped the white ping-pong ball, not revealing any dissatisfaction, only lightly nodding her head. This made Li Xiaobai even more displeased in his heart.

  Just treat her as a weakling, Chen Jianing, hurry up and make her concede defeat.

  Wow!

  The ball was thrown high into the air, and everyone's line of sight moved up and down with the white ball.

  The boys' professional voices rose and fell, while the girls stared at the ball road with wide eyes, filled with admiration.

  Bang!

  As the ball was about to bounce off the table, Xia Xiner moved her left hand forward, and the ping-pong ball grazed the bottom of the racket before flying towards the other side.

  So fast, many people were shocked out of their voices.

  At this time, following the style of Xuanhuan, even table tennis should be a bit distorted, Li Xiaobai muttered to himself and looked at Chen Jianning's response.

  Chen Jiaying used a small knife posture that many girls are accustomed to, she saw the road coming, her body slightly retreated half a step, and with an almost "scooping the moon from the sea" posture, she hit the ball back onto Xia Xinyu's table.

  Upper spin ball!

  But Xia Xiner's seemingly difficult ball route was lightly returned by Chen Jianning.

  Ping, the ping-pong ball landed lightly inside the line and then quickly spun, about to leave.

  Bang!

  At this moment, Xia Xiner's two feet were slightly apart, and a stretch action that was cool to the extreme, the racket heavily hit the ball, and the table tennis ball that had not completely left the surface quickly killed back.

  Forehand loop!

  Along with the white ball almost rubbing against the opponent's boundary, Chen Jianing, who had misjudged the direction, held the racket in her hand and didn't react at all.

  1：0。

  When the ping-pong ball fell on the ground and bounced with a loud noise, everyone realized what had just happened.

  Awesome, even Li Xiaobai couldn't help but think so. With that kind of trajectory, if it were himself, Li Xiaobai would probably have pulled off a more secure diagonal line. Who knew Xia Xiang'er actually dared to directly attack the straight ball and got the ball right on the edge.

  Is this reckless or bold?

  Bang, bang, bang.

  Bai Qiu held the ball in her hand, looking at Chen Jianning's position, Xia Xiner casually let the ball hit the table and then bounced back into her hand.

  Whoosh!

  This time, however, he backhanded a short ball.

  Chen Jiaying was still on guard against Xia Xinyu's long ball, and retreated a bit too deep. After being deceived, she managed to return the ball with difficulty, but it was slightly high, allowing Xia Xinyu to come up with a spike in an instant.

  Bang!

  The ping-pong ball bounced back on the table and almost jumped over Chen Jianning, falling to the ground, hitting the baffle along the way and bouncing back.

  2：0。

  ……

  Xia Xiner is so fierce, and some boys finally couldn't help but whisper out without considering Chen Jianing's feelings.

  With the ball in hand, Chen Jianing's face turned a bit pale.
