Fei Yin's
Ch. 5 - Dueling
Elder Ji clucked in annoyance. Indeed, a ring of space and resources worth 22 thousand pieces of gold is not so tempting for those from the fighter clan. But he did not take into account that Fei Yin knew the value of resources worth 22 thousand pieces of gold compared to his marriage contract.
In Elder Ji's hand suddenly appeared a box made of dark red wood, as he opened it looked a blood red root.
‘Ginseng blood!’ fei Yin shouted in his heart. He knew of several hundred types of herbs that could help increase the strength of a fighter, and blood ginseng was one of them.
For a fighter who was already at a high level, blood ginseng was not very useful as it only added blood in their body, and was used when a fighter lost a lot of blood after a fight.
But for those who are building 4 foundations, blood ginseng is a very useful resource for the process of Blood Purification.
“This is a 500 year old blood ginseng. It cost about 8 thousand gold pieces, so the total bet was 30 thousand gold pieces. I hope you are satisfied with our bet.” Elder Ji said.
“Of course I feel very satisfied with Elder Ji's generosity.” Fei Yin responded with a satisfied smile. Elder Ji let out a cold snort and asked Lan Hou who was holding the stakes.
...\=\=\=...
In Fengshui City there is a large arena that is used by young people who are not members of the Fei clan but want to practice martial arts.
As usual, the place is so crowded even though the day is hot. The arrival of Fei Yin, Lan Hou and his daughter as well as Gu Han and Elder Ji instantly brought the activities in the arena to a halt.
“Sorry to interrupt all of you! But we want to use this arena for a while. Does anyone mind?” Lan Hou spoke for a while after they arrived at that arena.
With his voice that had been hardened with qi, everyone who was in the arena could hear him, “It was Lan Hou! Manager of Jade Treasure House!”
“Quick! Fast-!”
The young men who were practicing directly left the arena, no one objected to Lan Hou's words. Who was foolish enough to oppose Lan Hou with the influence of such a huge Jade Treasure House?
Most of them stood outside the arena, very close to its periphery. They were obviously wondering what would happen on that field.
Shortly after, two men came forward and walked to the center of the field. One of them was a slightly above average-faced boy with brown hair, while in front of him was a boy younger than him with jet black short hair and red eyes.
“I knew a teenage boy that year. He is from the Star Spear sect!”
“Not that Young Master Fei Yin? They want a duel?”
Directly there was a heated discussion among the young men who stood outside the arena, they wondered why the two young people dueled.
“Ah, with the existence of Lan Hou and his daughter Lan Meilian, it seemed like this duel had something to do with the marriage contract between Fei Yin and Lan Meilian.”
“It's impossible.. If so why is Patriarch Fei not seen at all?”
Discussions continued among the spectators. On the other hand, Fei Yin with her thin smile looked at the face of Gu Han who was standing 30 meters away from her firmly.
In his right hand was a spear he borrowed from Lan Hou. The spear was of the same level as the spear carried by Gu Han. Meanwhile Gu Han was still hesitant to fight Fei Yin.
Even though he had invited the 8-year-old to a duel, he did not plan to seriously wound him by fighting using full force.
But the boy instead asked him to fight with all his heart and not hold back, ‘Old Ji.’ Gu Han looked at Elder Ji who was standing at the edge of the arena, right beside Lan Hou.
Elder Ji only nodded once, ‘Alright..’ Gu Han bit his lips. He formed horses but had no intention of advancing.
“Are the Fei brothers sure of this fight? I'm afraid you'll be hurt bad!” Gu Han shouted as he was still hesitant to start the fight that he considered to be bullying if it really started.
“Not to think about! Take out your full strength!” Fei Yin shouted in a loud voice. He was already feeling annoyed that Gu Han was constantly hesitant to fight.
Elder Ji who heard Fei Yin's cry let out a cold snort, “Don't he be too confident? He was still at the level of Body Forging and he had only remodeled his dantian 3 times. There is no need to go far to discuss about the level, from spear science alone Han'er far above it.” Elder Ji sneered.
Of course they did not know Fei Yin's lunge with a spear in his first life.
Fei Yin was famous by the name of Blood Comet in its heyday as a black flow fighter. No one dared to fight spearmanship with him back then, so his spearmanship was beyond doubt.
It also underlies Fei Yin's trust and confidence to win this fight even though his level and qi are much lower than his opponent.
Gu Han took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. After that he flowed the qi into both of his legs and moved swiftly towards Fei Yin.
‘The movement is so easy at guess.’ Fei Yin shook her head lightly while letting out a short sigh.
He swung his spear to the left and brushed off the puncture of Gu Han's attack that looked so fast. Gu Han's spear that was successful at tepis changed direction and pierced the ground.
“What?!” Gu Han naturally did not expect that his attack could be repelled so easily by Fei Yin.
In fact Fei Yin not only brushed off Gu Han's attack, he kicked the young man hard in the stomach, making Gu Han retreat a few meters. Fortunately Gu Han still managed to pull his spear back before being knocked back.
“How is it possible?” Elder Ji widened his eyes in disbelief at seeing Gu Han being knocked back at the first clash.
The defeated Gu Han almost lost his balance. The kick from Fei Yin was so strong that it made the organs in his body scream, making him have to periodically drain qi on his organs so as not to cause internal injuries.
However, Fei Yin did not give Gu Han a chance to heal himself. He immediately darted forward and narrowed his distance with Gu Han.
Fei Yin launched a series of spear techniques that he had learned first. Although the technique is not a good spear technique, but with the experience and mastery of Fei Yin attacks with the technique becomes deadly and very difficult to read.
Fei Yin's attack pattern could not even be guessed easily by Elder Ji who had practiced spearmanship all his life, ‘That child.’ His breath was held back seeing Fei Yin's spear play. He knew that only people who had fought thousands of battles with his spear could combine attacks like Fei Yin did.
Lan Hou who was not a spear expert alone could see how expert Fei Yin played her spear, ‘I did not expect Fei Yin to be so talented in her spear game.’
Lan Meilian was also stunned to see Fei Yin Yang successfully corner Gu Han in a few exchanges of attacks only and now Gu Han was forced to hold on.
Actually the reason why Gu Han seemed so difficult to compensate Fei Yin was due to the injuries he had obtained from Fei Yin's kick in the first clash. If only the wound did not exist then Gu Han could compensate for Fei Yin's spear play.
“Aglorious.. His spear game is terrible.”
“Tak wonder people call him the number one genius of the Fei.” Clan
One by one praise continued to be leveled at Fei Yin who had managed to corner Gu Han for such a long time.
Fei Yin did not give a single chance for Gu Han to counterattack and force him to continue defending.
‘When will this end? Can he attack endlessly forever?’ gu Han's breathing began to falter after being forced into a holding position for a few minutes.
On the other hand Fei Yin who attacked brutally was still able to breathe normally.
“I surrender!” Gu Han shouted loudly, stopping Fei Yin's attack. Gu Han immediately sat down cross-legged to regulate his breathing. Meanwhile, Lan Hou, Lan Meilian and Elder Ji came to the two who were in the middle of the field.
Elder Ji gave a healing pill to Gu Han and the young man received it and swallowed it before continuing meditation to heal the wounds inside his body.
Lan Hou wanted to say something but no words came out of his mouth due to his admiration after seeing Fei Yin's powerful spear play.
‘Tak wonder Lian'er likes this boy. He was so good at spearmanship.. It's just that his nature isn't so good. If only he had been more polite then I wouldn't regret letting Lian'er be with him.’
Without him noticing, in his heart Lan Hou had accepted Fei Yin to be his daughter-in-law.
