It was close to 1:30 pm.

Chen Shi, who had slept all afternoon, suddenly opened his eyes. He was still lying on the girl's soft, slightly curled legs. When he looked up, she had just opened her sleepy eyes as well.

The junior sister smiled slightly and said, "You're awake, senior brother."

Chen Shi suddenly straightened up and said, "Let's get started!"

The two then left the lounge and headed to the stadium.

At this moment, the audience members who had rested for lunch were returning to the court one by one. Chen Shi also walked out of the players' tunnel, carrying a badminton racket, and entered the court.

Just then, Di Yun, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, strode over and said, "Not bad, pretty punctual."

"Let's continue."

The mentor and student duo began running across the field once again. Chen Shixian warmed up for ten minutes, then lifted his heels off the ground, entering battle mode.

Once his body was fully warmed up and his blood was flowing, he found that his proficiency in penetrating energy had greatly improved.

Under normal circumstances, about 8 out of 10 balls can be penetrated.

This rapid progress surprised Huang Liangsheng, who had just returned to the court.

As a great genius, it took him two whole years to fully master the technique, while Chen Shi achieved this level of proficiency in just one morning.

Not far away.

The three seeds from Wolong Middle School also looked at Chen Shi.

They all knew what "penetrating strength" meant, and their expressions were somewhat unnatural, especially Wang Yanfeng and Zhuang Liang, the third seed.

They were silently calculating something in their minds.

Chen Shi's previous opponent was an A3-level player with over 500 HP, which was far too much for him to handle.

What about them? With over 600 HP and two S-rank players, they can definitely keep up, since the difference between S and A ranks is huge. But what if Chen Shi also has a powerful superpower?

That way, the gap can be widened again immediately.

For some reason, watching Chen Shi jump, run, swing, and hit powerful shots on the court, they felt increasingly uneasy. Their minds were filled with rational numbers that told them their chances of winning weren't very high, and they fell into the same pre-match anxiety as Chen Shi the night before.

At 1:50, Di Yun stopped playing and put away his racket because he had been kicked out by the referee. The game was scheduled to start in 10 minutes.

In those ten minutes, all the referees quickly adjusted the position of the net, reorganizing the more than fifty courts from the morning into 32 courts.

64 to 32, all played in one go!

Furthermore, the knockout stage matches are 30 minutes long, not 20 minutes. Ten minutes more significantly increases the physical demands.

This is good news for Chen Shi.

He himself was a beast, a physical monster, while the other contestants all wore solemn expressions.

They usually practice for 20 minutes at home, but suddenly it was 30 minutes. Some people were unsure of themselves, and Cang Tianzong's expression also darkened.

Then, the commentator's voice began to play.

Wang Guanzhong: "Good afternoon, students, teachers, and parents!"

"After a midday rest, I believe every contestant has recovered to their peak condition. Let's all look forward to the afternoon's round of 64 to 32!"

"Let's see who each player's opponent is, and then the players enter the arena!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience's attention was immediately focused on the large screen in the center!

A square screen with 32 lines of text, each line containing two names and a "VS" in the middle!

Chen Shi quickly found his place.

The moment he saw his opponent's name, a commotion arose simultaneously from Hengshan High School behind him and Wolong High School beside him!

Chen Shi from Hengshan High School VS Zhuang Liang from Wolong High School!

"It's aligned, let's begin!"

On the other side of Wolong Middle School, Cang Tianzong slapped Zhuang Liang on the back and said, "Let Chen Shi's competition end here!"

Zhuang Liang took a deep breath, stood up, ran to court number 28, picked up his racket, stared intently at Chen Shi on the other side, and waited for the last three minutes to pass!

The host, however, didn't pay attention to this match because Wang Guanzhong was an old man and knew very well that there was nothing to talk about in this match; Zhuang Liang was no match for Chen Shi.

The students from Hengshan and Wolong junior high schools were the most interested in this match.

Each classroom's screen has automatically locked onto the camera at Chen Shi's location.

The students in the first row drew the curtains, and the classroom suddenly became dark except for the large, high-end screen, which became bright enough to make watching a movie feel real.

Bring out the sunflower seeds, put the drinks on the table, and don't forget the other snacks.

Everyone looked at Chen Shi, who was holding a racket and jumping lightly in the middle of the court, with hope in their eyes!

Finally, the time came to 14:00 PM.

Mid-gate sniping matchup, round one!

Ring!

A gunshot rang out above the stadium!

Chen Shi, who had the higher total score, served and hit the shuttlecock he had prepared!

"Bang!"

White feathers fly over the net.

On the other side, Zhuang Liang did not hesitate and immediately activated his superpower - Motion.

This is actually a very rare and advanced superpower, but Zhuang Liang's talent is insufficient to demonstrate its full potential. Its effect is to absorb all energy and unleash it in an instant.

This superpower can even absorb the opponent's energy!

However, the badminton shuttlecock is too fast, and it only has a moment to hit the net. Zhuang Liang simply cannot absorb the energy from the opponent's shuttlecock in that instant. The only thing he can do is to let the racket absorb the power that bursts out of his body and concentrate it on the racket to hit the shuttlecock!

Zhuang Liang used this superpower terribly, and its effect was only about equal to Chen Shi's penetrating force, maybe a little better and more stable, but that's about it!

Zhuang Liang suddenly swung his racket to catch the ball!

As the shuttlecock soared high into the air, Chen Shi strode forward.

He took one step to the net, then leaped more than three meters high on the second step, intercepting the opponent's ball in mid-air, and then hit it straight forward!

The badminton shuttlecock flew horizontally through the air at a height of three meters. Zhuang Liang looked up in astonishment. He couldn't jump that high at all, so he could only watch helplessly as the shuttlecock flew away!

first round.

Chen Shichao, 2 points!

The people from Hengshan Middle School immediately clenched their fists.

The faces of the people from Wolong Middle School gradually stiffened!

Next, Chen Shi took out a badminton shuttlecock, stood in the middle court, and began to serve a forehand high clear, the simplest kind of serve, where the shuttlecock lands and is immediately flicked upwards with a forehand, flying high into the air.

Most people wouldn't dare serve this ball, because it would be giving the opponent an opportunity.

But Chen Shi found that the person couldn't jump very high, so he simply launched a rocket that was over three meters high, and that was it!

But to his surprise, Chen Shi had oversimplified things.

A point is scored only if the ball touches the ground.

It flew high, but not fast enough. Zhuang Liang ran out of bounds to catch it, and he was still able to catch it!

But Chen Shi then unleashed a powerful backhand smash, sending the ball flying out of Zhuang Liang's sight like a cannonball.

Two more points!
