“My name is Wu Ping. How many rounds do you want to play with me?”

The short-haired girl had a smile on her face. As soon as she returned to the team, she heard about the new member. Wu Ping was a little curious about this girl called Shi Sen.

When Shi Sen looked at the girl in front of her again, she remembered who she was. Wu Ping had also been an outstanding table tennis player in her previous life, but she was far inferior to Yang Jie, who had won the championship.

“Mr. Liu told me to practice more and compete less.” Shi Sen remembered Liu De’s instructions and didn’t want to become enemies with more people.

“Isn’t this a break? Competing is also a form of practice.” Seeing that Shi Sen was unwilling to spar with her, Wu Ping wanted to see her true strength even more.

When Shi Sen looked around but didn’t see Mr. Liu, she felt a little troubled. If she competed with Wu Ping, her reputation in the team would be even worse. Shi Sen didn’t want to cause trouble for Mr. Liu.

“If you’re afraid, just say it!” Seeing that Shi Sen was unwilling to compete with Wu Ping, Feng Shu perked up.

She deliberately walked to Wu Ping’s side and said, “Sister Ping, this newcomer is only a little arrogant in front of me. She’s not capable enough to defeat you.”

Hearing Feng Shu’s words, Shi Sen frowned unhappily. She didn’t expect someone to target her even without Fang Rou around.

“Come on, let’s practice. Winning or losing doesn’t matter. If you don’t fight me, you’re looking down on me!” Wu Ping also thought that Shi Sen was afraid of competing and was even more excited.

When Shi Sen saw the two people clearly didn’t want to let her off, she sighed helplessly. “Alright, consider it as me learning from you.”

Seeing that Shi Sen had agreed, Feng Shu’s eyes lit up. Wu Ping was publicly recognized as number one in the team, so she would definitely defeat Shi Sen. Feng Shu couldn’t hide her excitement as she shouted for everyone to watch.

As Wu Ping and Shi Sen stood on both sides of the pool table, the other members of the training team also surrounded them.

Han Yu also noticed that Shi Sen and Wu Ping were competing, so he smiled and said to Chu Liu, “This girl is impressive. She challenged Wu Ping on her first day of training. Her courage is commendable.”

Wu Ping was famous for having an aggressive playing style. Even the men’s team members couldn’t withstand Wu Ping’s straight shots.

Chu Liu looked at Shi Sen worriedly. As soon as Shi Sen arrived at the team, she became the center of attention. It would be difficult for Shi Sen to keep a low profile in the future.

“You can serve!” Wu Ping got into position. As an old team member, she let Shi Sen serve first.

Shi Sen was a little nervous when she competed with Wu Ping and she served steadily. Shi Sen didn’t use many techniques, but Wu Ping was aggressive. She threw an aggressive shot at Shi Sen and scored first.

Wu Ping didn’t underestimate her opponent like Feng Shu did. Even if she was dealing with a newcomer, Wu Ping would go all out.

No one was surprised by Wu Ping’s score. They were all worried for Shi Sen. This newcomer was probably going to cry after being defeated by Wu Ping.

When Feng Shu saw that Shi Sen had lost, a hint of smugness appeared on her face again as she said to He Yue, who was beside her, “Did you see that? I told you that she just got lucky yesterday. If I wasn’t feeling unwell, how could she have won?!”

He Yue disagreed with Feng Shu’s words. Looking at Shi Sen and Wu Ping’s match, He Yue felt that Shi Sen was deliberately going easy on Wu Ping.

Shi Sen lost a few times in a row, but there was no panic on her face.

“Why is Shi Sen’s performance not as good it was yesterday?” Han Yu felt that Shi Sen was clearly not performing as well as when she competed with Feng Shu yesterday. He thought that Shi Sen was a little afraid of Wu Ping. After all, her playstyle wasn’t something ordinary people could withstand.

Chu Liu realized Shi Sen’s intentions. It seemed that she had listened to him and deliberately kept a low profile, since she didn’t want to become everyone’s target.

Wu Ping was very capable, so Shi Sen began to give it her all when she felt that the time was right.

Wu Ping originally thought that Shi Sen was an obvious novice and that there was no doubt that she would lose to her, but at some point, the girl in front of her changed her playing style. Shi Sen blocked her aggressive serves easily. Wu Ping was so puzzled that she actually failed to catch Shi Sen’s backhand serve.

As Shi Sen scored a win, Wu Ping’s doubts deepened. She couldn’t see through Shi Sen’s playstyle at all.

“Focus on competing with me. Don’t be distracted. Go all out!” Wu Ping was a little annoyed that Shi Sen didn’t compete with her seriously at first. How could a newcomer go easy on her?
