Whirlwind Girl Episode 11 Recap
> Whirlwind Girl Recap
Fang Tinghao recommended Qi Bai Cao to Coach Shen Ning for the training camp. Shen Ning, however, expressed strong reservations upon seeing Bai Cao’s resume, noting her previous affiliation with Quan Sheng DoJo and her teacher, Qu Xiang Nan. Shen Ning stated that Qu Xiang Nan's name was "the shame of An Yang" and expressed disbelief that he was still taking disciples, believing he had been banned from Yuan Wu Dao.
She also thought Bai Cao was foolish for remaining loyal to him and suggested she leave as soon as possible. Earlier, Bai Cao had confronted Fang Tinghao, rejecting his attempts to persuade her to switch dojos. She firmly declared that Qu Xiang Nan was her only teacher, who had raised her since childhood, and she would remain loyal to him regardless of his reputation or martial arts skill.
Fang Tinghao had confessed his feelings for her during this conversation, but Bai Cao questioned his passion for Yuan Wu Dao, given his tendency to play jokes and pranks. Meanwhile, the disciples at Song Bai DoJo were filled with anxiety as they awaited the results of the competition draw. They worried about facing powerful teams like Xian Wu Hall or Jian Shi Hall, particularly Jian Shi Hall's formidable senior, Lin Feng, known as "Rubber Ball Phoenix."
Despite her heavy build, Lin Feng was renowned for her exceptional agility and incredible jumping power. When Ruo Bai returned with the draw results, confirming that Song Bai would indeed face Jian Shi Hall, a wave of dismay swept through the dojo. Ruo Bai decided against informing Bai Cao about Lin Feng being her opponent, feeling it would be useless and only increase her burden.
One evening, Hu Yifeng discovered Xiao Ying secretly observing Ruo Bai and Bai Cao's training session. Xiao Ying, driven by concern for her close friend's upcoming match against Lin Feng, confessed her worries and her desire to help. As Hu Yifeng startled her, they lost their footing and fell to the ground, experiencing a novel and unfamiliar feeling between them. Xiao Ying then enthusiastically dragged a weary Hu Yifeng to her room to create special cheerleading props for Bai Cao.
Hu Yifeng, exhausted and unenthusiastic, complained throughout the night, expressing his desire to sleep. The following day, Hu Yifeng appeared preoccupied and distracted during his match against Zheng Zhon of Tian Shi Hall. He ultimately lost by a single point, placing immense pressure on Bai Cao to win her upcoming match and secure Song Bai DoJo's spot in the finals.
Before Bai Cao's turn, Fang Tinghao approached her, offering a warm drink and words of encouragement, much to the other disciples' annoyance. As Lin Feng made her entrance, her commanding presence was evident, captivating the attention of the audience and even intimidating some of her opponents. Her unique fighting style, honed to leverage her natural physique, and her "Rubber Ball" nickname, reflecting her extraordinary jumping and bouncing ability, were well-known.
Bai Cao's match against Lin Feng commenced, but she was visibly overwhelmed by Lin Feng's powerful aura. Bai Cao froze, unable to launch any effective attacks, and was completely suppressed throughout the first round, which she quickly lost. During the break, Ruo Bai intervened by splashing hot water on Bai Cao’s face, a harsh but effective method to rouse her. He sternly warned her that such a mentality would lead her to quit Yuan Wu Dao.
He then calmly explained that no matter how intimidating an opponent seemed, their techniques were still fundamentally the same as any other Yuan Wu Dao move. Bai Cao, grasping his guidance, quickly regained her mental clarity and confidence. In the second round, Bai Cao managed to land a kick, scoring a point and eliciting cheers from her teammates.
However, Lin Feng swiftly demonstrated her unique defense, a "bounce off armor" ability that allowed her body to mitigate the force of incoming attacks and even redirect it back. This made it seemingly impossible for Bai Cao to score any further points, as her kicks appeared to empower Lin Feng rather than harm her. Before the start of the third round, Ruo Bai once again offered crucial guidance.
He instructed Bai Cao to kick him with all her might, demonstrating the principle of "borrowing strength to use strength." He also reminded her that Lin Feng, despite her formidable reputation, was not unbeatable and had been defeated before. Armed with this renewed understanding and strategy, Bai Cao stepped back onto the mat. Applying the "borrow strength to use strength" technique, Bai Cao effectively countered Lin Feng's unique defense, overcoming what had seemed like an impenetrable barrier.
Despite the significant score difference, Bai Cao skillfully defeated Lin Feng, securing Song Bai DoJo’s place in the finals. After the intense match, Lin Feng displayed remarkable sportsmanship, shaking Bai Cao’s hand and encouraging her to win the championship. To celebrate their victory, the Song Bai DoJo team gathered at a KTV.
During the festive celebration, Bai Cao and Ruo Bai were playfully coerced by their friends into sharing a single marshmallow, leading to an awkward moment where their faces accidentally bumped into each other. As the celebration concluded, Ruo Bai gallantly carried a drunken Bai Cao on his back, making their way back to Song Bai DoJo.
