The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

"Whoosh—!"

Feng Zhiqiang smashed the shuttlecock, which whistled past the opponent's racket and landed in bounds.

"11-0!" The referee raised his hand to signal, "Time for a break!"

Feng Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and walked briskly to the lounge.

"Awesome, Daqiang!"

"Let's shut them out completely!"

"A great start! Nice!"

The team members handed out towels and bottled water.

In a 21-point system, when one side reaches 11 points, the game is paused for a one-minute break, during which the coach can also take the opportunity to encourage and guide the players.

As expected, Lu Qian and Coach Hong came over.

"You're in good form, Daqiang, keep it up," Coach Hong calmly instructed.

"Not bad!" Lu Qian patted Feng Zhiqiang on the shoulder. "After you showed your strength, other schools will probably be much more wary of you, but don't worry, you can do it!"

"Remember to conserve your energy, but also remember, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!"

Feng Zhiqiang nodded seriously, "Teacher Lu, I've got it!"

On the other hand, their opponents, having been shut out for the time being, are starting to panic.

The opposing coach kept instructing his players on how to make plans.

Soon, the minute was over.

The referee announced that the game would continue, and both teams returned to the field.

The opposing player tensed up, no longer as relaxed as before. Yu Cai, that tall guy, is terrifyingly strong.

Feng Zhiqiang's eyes remained resolute as he took the first shot seriously.

"Whoosh~~——"

"Bang, bang..."

The two sides resumed the match.

...

Coach's bench.

Watching Feng Zhiqiang score points one after another, Coach Hong was filled with excitement, but he kept glancing at Lu Qian, afraid that Lu Qian might get excited and stand up.

During the competition, the coach also had strict rules: no talking or getting up.

However, Lu Qian remained calm throughout, and even after watching Feng Zhiqiang's matches for a few rounds at the beginning, he went on to watch matches from other schools.

With eight courts competing simultaneously, the competition allows for observation of athletes from 16 schools at the same time.

Lu Qian knew very well what level Feng Zhiqiang was at. His opponent was mediocre, and if he played seriously, winning the first game was a sure thing.

Instead of watching games that your own school is sure to win, it's better to look at the strength and playing habits of players from other schools.

If a discovery is made, it will be of great help in the upcoming matches.

……

A dozen minutes later.

"Match over!" the referee announced loudly. "First game, Yucai High School, Feng Zhiqiang wins, 21:3!"

"Two-minute break between sets!"

Feng Zhiqiang puffed out his cheeks, exhaled, and returned to the rest area.

A fantastic first game victory!

"Great! Great! We won the first game!"

"They were completely outmatched. Their school is about the same as what's shown in the video."

"Leave the next one to me!"

"..."

Other contestants gathered around, the boys bumping fists and the girls offering encouragement.

Lu Qian and Coach Hong also came over, affirming Feng Zhiqiang's victory and encouraging the next female contestant!

Morale is boiling!

Two minutes later, the women's singles match began.

Everyone returned to their seats.

While resting, Feng Zhiqiang didn't forget Teacher Lu's instructions to watch the contestants from other schools.

There are countless geniuses in this world, and there's no guarantee that other schools won't also have very talented students. The more you know about them, the more crucial it is to break through the current situation.

With Lu Qian's guidance, the overall strength of the students at Yucai has improved significantly.

The women's singles match was won without any pressure, allowing them to skip the mixed doubles match in the third game and have plenty of rest time.

……

During his break, Feng Zhiqiang looked toward another school rest area not far away.

Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School, the runner-up last time, was placed in the same group as them.

They were very strong, winning the first two games and skipping the third.

The two locked eyes.

The other person raised an eyebrow and gestured with his chin. Although there was no obvious provocative action, Feng Zhiqiang could sense that the other person was a bit arrogant.

And if I remember correctly, the next match is against Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School.

The runner-up is this arrogant, I can't believe how arrogant the champion is.

Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School rest area.

"What are you looking at, Jiahao?" a team member asked curiously.

"Look at that tall guy from Yucai High School," Li Jiahao said, swinging his racket with an air of arrogance. "He's a dark horse, but unfortunately, he ran into me. Sigh, all that hard training, and he's met the future god of badminton. I wonder what his mindset will be later."

Teammate: "...Jiahao, let's play it safe."

Li Jiahao: "Don't worry, I've got it covered! Yo yo yo~ Whew whiff whiff~ My invincible~"

Team member: "..."

The break ended after fifteen minutes.

The second match begins: Yucai vs. No. 4 Middle School.

Feng Zhiqiang went on stage first again, while Li Jiahao took the stage for his opponent.

Both sides shook hands with the referee, and then with the opposing team.

Li Jiahao said with an arrogant look, "Dude, you're strong, but I'm even stronger."

Feng Zhiqiang remained expressionless. After thinking for a moment, he managed to utter, "Then you don't need to be strong anymore, because your strength has arrived."

Li Jiahao: "?"

referee:"?"

Fortunately, these words were neither considered improper behavior nor provocative.

The other players in the rest area were completely bewildered.

"What's wrong with them? Why do they look so strange?" *2

...

The referee coughed and continued the process of tossing the ball and testing it.

Li Jiahao won the coin toss and chose to serve.

Game start.

After Li Jiahao served, the two sides began to play back and forth.

After receiving a few balls, Feng Zhiqiang realized that his opponent was much stronger than the player from the previous random school.

However, he still can't compare to himself.

Li Jiahao also sensed it; his strength was indeed quite formidable.

After eight rounds.

"Whoosh—"

Li Jiahao missed the first ball, and Feng Zhiqiang scored the first point and gained the right to serve.

Taking advantage of the dead ball situation, the two players also started to communicate with each other.

"This Feng Zhiqiang from Yucai is quite capable; Jiahao actually failed to score the first goal."

"It's only the first goal, Jiahao can hold on!"

"Didn't he say that dancing makes you better? He definitely can!"

...

"Daqiang's form is still very stable. His opponent is the runner-up from last time, and he is also very strong."

"Don't worry, Daqiang will be fine!"

"I'm very curious about what Daqiang said, and why the referee and the opponent had such complicated expressions when they shook hands."

...

A dozen seconds later, as they prepared to serve, the players immediately stopped communicating.

Li Jiahao never underestimated the game from the start, and now that he has lost a point, he is even more focused.

He's incredibly strong!

The two sides continued to play back and forth.

High clear, flat clear, drop shot...

Various ball techniques were used in the exchange.

Eleven minutes.

The referee announced the end of the match.

Feng Zhiqiang scored 11 points first.

The score is 11 to 3.

Feng Zhiqiang returned to the rest area without any pressure and accepted the towel handed to him by his teammates.

"No pressure!"

His teammates offered more encouragement, and then one of them, Ren Wenbiao, asked curiously, "Daqiang, what did you say when you shook hands? The referee's expression seemed strange."

Feng Zhiqiang paused for a moment before speaking: "That Li Jiahao said, 'Dude, you're strong, but I'm stronger.' Then I replied, 'Then you don't need to be strong anymore, because your strength has arrived.'"

The teammates remained silent.
