Volume 2 That World Chapter 2 Pei Xingjian
Crash!
The top executives of Zangfeng who were surrounding the stage and watching the entire match applauded and cheered.
Zhang Zizai took off his helmet, revealing a slightly dejected face. He looked at Qi Ji and smiled, "I remember that twenty days ago, you were still a rookie and couldn't even last a round. I didn't expect that now, you are so exaggerated that you even knocked my sword away."
Qi Ji also took off his helmet and said modestly: "I won by strength!"
Zhang Zizai shook his head: "Even if I had just reached the seventh dan level five years ago, I would not necessarily lose to you." After that, he suddenly laughed: "Why should I make excuses for myself? I am old, and I don't have the strength to fight a monster like you."
Qi Ji didn't know how to comfort the other party, so he could only change the subject and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What have you been keeping in suspense for half a day? Can you tell me now?"
Zhang Zizai nodded: "Next, you will take my place and participate in an exchange competition."
Qi Ji asked back: "Exchange competition?"
"Let me tell you!" At this time, Director Chen and several senior executives came to Qi Ji and said with a smile, "In a month, you will represent our Cangfeng and go to Shen'an City to participate in a very important exchange competition. If you win, you will be the youngest head coach of the three major clubs' joint center in history!"
Qi Ji pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "Me? As the head coach?"
A rookie who has been training for less than a month suddenly wants to become the head coach?
Is there something wrong with the brain circuits of these people who hide their strength?
Zhang Zizai said sullenly, "You can only be the leader if you win. If you lose, you will just be a runner-up and a stepping stone."
Although this old man spoke in a nonchalant manner, he was actually still depressed about the match in which Qi Ji had just succeeded in avenging him.
Mr. Chen smiled slightly and signaled the secretary next to him to hand over a few files to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji took it and opened it neatly, and found that it was the information of two martial arts players.
[Wanjian Club: Pei Xingjian, age 28, professional 7th dan (one year ago, now suspected to be 8th dan)...]
On the file, there was a photo of a cool-faced handsome guy who looked about the same age as Qi Ji, with sharp eyes and a firm expression.
"What! Your opponent is Pei Xingjian!?" Before he saw the second contestant, Qi Ji was startled by the roar of Zhang Zizai who was peeking at him from the side.
"Old Zhang, what are you doing? You scared me!" Qi Ji rubbed his ears, feeling like he was going deaf.
"Pei Xingjian!" Zhang Zizai couldn't help rubbing his hands: "The champion of the rookie competition 10 years ago! A super genius!"
Afterwards, he thought about it, and finally looked up and said helplessly: "I can't beat him, no matter how I think about it, I can't beat him."
"Brother Qi, you really have to run away with it this time."
Mr. Chen next to him couldn't stand it anymore. He glared at Zhang Zizai and said, "This old Zhang is best at boosting others' morale and destroying his own prestige! Qi Ji, you should train well from now on. I think this Pei Xingjian is not as good as you!"
Qi Ji couldn't help it, he asked directly: "Mr. Chen, I still don't understand why I want to compete for the position of head coach?"
Regarding this issue, Mr. Chen, several directors, and Zhang Zizai who interrupted from time to time, explained in a few words the situation that Qi Ji would face next.
To put it bluntly, there is a common industry of three clubs with extremely good business conditions, which can bring a lot of income to the clubs every year. The position of "head coach" will be vacant soon. Now the three clubs are required to each nominate three players for an exchange match, and the one who wins will be the head coach. The position of head coach is related to income weight and honor, and everyone is eyeing this position.
Now, the strong men of Zang Feng all have their own missions to be stationed at. They originally planned to arrange Zhang Zizai to accompany them, but the old man refused to agree and suggested that Qi Ji go instead.
Therefore, Qi Ji will face off against the legendary "Pei Xingjian" in the near future.
The show ended afterwards.
Zhang Zizai pulled Qi Ji aside and said with a serious face: "Qi Ji, you can't beat this opponent, you have to be mentally prepared. "
Seeing that he was serious, Qi Ji couldn't help but ask seriously, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Zizai smiled bitterly: "I lost to him three years ago."
"But you lost to me just now..." Qi Ji touched his chin.
Zhang Zizai said seriously: "It's different."
Then he added: "You completely relied on your strange strength to suppress me, so that I couldn't use even 30% of my skills."
"Let's put it this way. When you hit me, it's like an adult hitting a primary school student ." Zhang Zizai made an analogy. "Although this primary school student's skills are three times stronger than an adult's, he can't even withstand an ordinary blow from an adult. What's the point of talking about skills?"
Qi Ji thought about it, then asked thoughtfully, "How about I compete with Pei Xingjian?"
Zhang Zizai said solemnly: "It's about the same as an ordinary adult beating a sword master in the third grade of junior high school."
He then said, "Pei Xingjian was a well-known talented swordsman ten years ago. He won the championship in the rookie competition with an absolute performance."
“Although he doesn’t have a sword saint as his master, and he doesn’t have the sword spirit and extraordinary talent like Bai Tianhe, he has another trait that doesn’t belong to Bai Tianhe.”
Qi Ji asked curiously: "What is it?"
Zhang Zizai took a deep breath: "He is extremely hardworking and extremely self-disciplined."
Qi Ji was stunned. What kind of trait is this?
Zhang Zizai knew what Qi Ji was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He said seriously, "It's not the hard work you think."
Zhang Zizai scratched his head, trying to find a vivid metaphor. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Machine! Yes, it's a machine."
"Pei Xingjian is like a robot. After the rookie competition, he became famous." At this point, Zhang Zizai glanced at Qi Ji and added, "Of course, at that time, Bingji was not as popular as it is now. His fame was nothing compared to yours."
"After he became famous, the media paid attention to him, and his daily life was exposed at that time."
"Exercising his physique, practicing swordplay, fighting, and training, except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, he has been doing this every day for ten years and has persisted until now." Zhang Zizai said, and he couldn't help but sound admiring.
Zhang Zizai seemed to be recalling: "Three years ago in the Daxia Senior Qualifying Tournament, he competed with me for the ranking . At that time, my body had not declined that much."
As he spoke, the 45-year-old, knowledgeable old man showed a hint of fear in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then said softly, "It was like I was fighting a robot. His attacks and defenses were terrifyingly stable and standard. All my moves were accurately countered by him with ordinary but standard responses from the textbooks of military fighting... That time, I was defeated without any suspense."
Zhang Zizai heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at Qi Ji: "With your level, your strength overwhelms me like an adult beating a primary school student. Even if your moves are full of flaws in my eyes, I have already done my best just to resist your attacks. Apart from a double kill, it is difficult for me to have another chance to attack your flaws..."
"But your future opponent, Pei Xingjian, is a super swordsman whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary people after years of training. He is less than 30 years old, which is the peak period of a person's physical fitness. He will not be like me, completely unable to resist your divine power."
Zhang Zizai looked at Qi Ji: "Do you understand what I mean?"
