King Of Sports

Chapter 27

After Tang Yan"s qualifiers were finished, Tian Zhenzhe turned around and said something to Li Lao. The two quickly began chatting, smiling from time to time.

Song Feng"s smile became even bigger. Although he couldn"t quite hear the contents of the two"s conversation because of the distance, the words "Tang Yan" and the smiles on their faces was enough.

In contrast, Qiu Anguo and Lai Yongxing"s faces were quite ugly. After the qualifying session ended, they immediately got up and left the judges" area.

After the men"s qualifiers, the audience didn"t leave, but became even more excited. Because coming up next was the women"s archery qualifiers.

The women"s archery team was far superior to men in terms of strength and attention. This can be seen from the contestants and the female audience which were twice as many as men.

The excitement caused by Tang Yan was quickly overshadowed by the appearance of the women"s team. Especially after the Olympic champion Zhang Hao appeared, the atmosphere on the scene became truly electrifying.

Tang Yan went back to his camp, and he was warmly welcomed by Ding Ran and Dong Jie, especially Dong Jie, who didn"t usually like to speak, spoke now in volumes full of excitement, shocking Tang Yan.

In contrast, Pan Yu seemed to be somewhat out of place with the rest of the group.

When Tang Yan came back, he didn"t greet him like Ding Ran and Dong Jie, and when they started to celebrate, he even stepped back a few steps, excluding himself.

Tang Yan and Dong Jie had no good feelings towards him.

Naturally, they wouldn"t take the initiative to approach him.

Ding Ran"s situation was less severe, but it didn"t mean he had goodwill towards him either.

As a result, he seemed to be alone.

He clenched his hands, his body s.h.i.+vering slightly, his eyes looking out to the arena; no one knew what he was thinking.

"Haha~"

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from afar heading in their direction. Song Feng"s big frame soon entered their vision.

His laughter attracted a strange look from the other provinces" coaches, but he turned a blind eye to them as he was truly excited at this moment.

"You, my boy have really given us glory today!" As soon as he arrived in front of them, Song Feng did not shy away, laughing and rus.h.i.+ng to Tang Yan, patting him continuously on the shoulder.

Tang Yan just simply smiled. According to his personality, he would have taken the opportunity to bathe in praise, but Song Feng"s change in att.i.tude made him feel uncomfortable. So he just smiled.

"Dong Jie, you also did well today. Ding Ran, you should also be proud of yourself too. Your future is worth looking forward to..." Song Feng generously praised them all.

Then he swept his gaze around for a while, only to find Pan Yu standing three meters away. Seeing Pan Yu, his tone changed as he shouted, "Come here!"


When Pan Yu heard Song Feng call him, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile and walked over.

"What the h.e.l.l was that earlier? What an atrocious performance! You actually performed even worse than Don–" He originally wanted to say Dong Jie, but he quickly changed his words. "...worse than those newcomers. You are a veteran archer. You"re meant to be leading the team, not holding it back! It seems I"ve been pampering you too much."

Song Feng didn"t leave him the slightest bit of face, directly scolding Pan Yu in front of all of them.

During this time, Pan Yu showed his forbearance. No matter how Song Feng reprimanded, he just nodded earnestly and did not say anything back.

After scolding for quite some time, Song Feng finally finished and said, "Tomorrow, I want to see better. Use tonight to get your head in the game."

Tang Yan looked over at Pan Yu, and he could not help but worry about Pan Yu"s state of mind. His experience of more than 30 years of life told him that this kind of treatment by Song Feng may just have made things worse.

"You all go back and rest early. Prepare for tomorrow"s final. The women"s round will start soon, so I have to go." Song Feng snorted, then turned and left.

The final score of the team was made up of the scores of the top three archers in each province. Tang Yan"s 661 points successfully helped the Zhedong Province get a total score of 1920, making them 4th place overall, securing their place into the knockout rounds tomorrow.

When Song Feng left, Pan Yu barely squeezed a smile and without saying anything, he turned and left.

The three of them took a taxi back to the hotel and took the afternoon off as a rare break.

Tang Yan took a shower, wrapped up in a duvet and was about to go to sleep when the doorbell suddenly rang.

He went to the door and looked out through the peephole to see that it was Dong Jie outside the door.

He opened the door, and asked with some doubt, "Dong Jie, why are you here?"

Dong Jie probed his head forward and looked inside.

"Come in, there is no beauty hidden behind me." Seeing Dong Jie obviously had something to say, Tang Yan joked.

Dong Jie smiled and then walked in.

Tang Yan brought out two cups of tea: one for Dong Jie and one for himself, then he sat on the sofa.

Although it was only a qualifying session, the state of being in high tension was still very exhausting. It was a pleasure to take a shower, sit down and take a break.

"I am a bit worried about the team compet.i.tion tomorrow." Dong Jie didn"t drink the tea, but instead began to speak.

"What do you mean?" Tang Yan asked, holding the tea, blowing it, and taking a sip.

"Old Song didn"t give Pan Yu face today. Pan Yu"s reaction was also abnormal. I think his state of mind tomorrow may worsen." Dong Jie didn"t beat around the bush and answered straightforwardly.

"Yeah..." Tang Yan said with a sigh. This Song Feng really had a temperamental nature. He knew Pan Yu"s character, yet he still didn"t save him face.

"I am coming to you because I hope that when Old Song comes back, you will go with me to talk to him. I hope he can calm down Pan Yu"s emotions. The team compet.i.tion is a matter of three people. If he is out of it, it will affect our scores as well." Dong Jie directly explained his purpose.

"Okay, that sounds fine, I"ll come along." Tang Yan didn"t hesitate and agreed.

The team compet.i.tion was based off the qualifying round.

The top three players from each province would form the team for the knockout round. In today"s qualifiers, Tang Yan"s 661 points won him first place, Dong Jie"s 640 points ranked 26th. Pan Yu performed abnormally and ranked 112th among 200 archers. Even so, his performance was three points higher than Ding Ran, which meant that he would be the third member of the team.

Tang Yan, Dong Jie, Pan Yu: the list of partic.i.p.ating team members for the Zhejiang Province tomorrow was fixed and couldn"t be changed. If Pan Yu really performed abnormally again tomorrow, it would make things extremely difficult for them.

"d.a.m.n! who came up with such abnormal rules?!"

After he sent Dong Jie off, Tang Yan took up the hot tea and took a sip, and he couldn"t help but swear out loud.
