The Whispering Wind Sword

29. Battles

" Therefore how about we now do a friendly match, between you, with the people in the Huang family. If you manage to defeat us, then that means you do have more ability than us to protect that sword. But if you don't, I don't think you'd mind entrusting the supervision of the sword to the Huang family.‖ermark

Actually this Tiong Fa proposal was of course far from fair. To prove himself Ding Tao would naturally have to serve the people of the Huang family alone. Where is the justice? But if you follow the argument of Tiong Fa, of course people are made to agree by his opinion.

With a bite of lips finally Ding Tao nodded in agreement, too,

―Chairman Tiong, I'm actually embarrassed, but I think that's the best way. So that if I hand this sword over to the Huang family, it does not mean that I violate my teacher's message. But the Huang family was more deserving of it.‖ermark

Thus with the slickness of his tongue Tiong Fa managed to set the stage of the play, where everyone managed to play according to his will.

Huang Jin, Huang Yunshu and Huang Ren Fang, as well as several other Huang family confidants, who knew about this plan, nodded in satisfaction. In their hearts they were grateful that there was a person like Tiong Fa in their family. Grateful but also shuddered, when imagining if Tiong Fa actually stood on the other side.

The friendly match was conducted in the training room, other than those present at the dinner, no one else was present there.

Tiong Fa himself had arranged for anyone present at the dinner. Besides the son and daughter of Huang Jin, the other young children were gifted young seedlings from the Huang family. Then then those who are experienced in the martial world and are the chosen people in the Huang family. And the last group was of course Huang Jin and his confidants.

In short, without others realizing it, Tiong Fa had arranged for the entire strength of the Huang family to gather that night.

Huang Ying Ying might be able to make an exception, but even her presence as Huang Jin's daughter could be put to the best use of Tiong Fa. In the plan that was in his imagination was already imagined, how Ding Tao would finally submit in the hands of one of the Huang family heroes.

He had already imagined the words of comfort to be spoken, then with a hint of encouragement he would put Huang Ying Ying as Ding Tao's comfort and nurse. In one snare, not only was the sword obtained but the Huang family would gain one more strength.

Of course, if it turns out that Ding Tao is locked in the hands of the weakest member present that night, Tiong Fa will turn things around. The beautiful Huang Ying Ying, for her, was too precious if it was only used to attract a goat-class hero.

The atmosphere in the training room became a little tense, although many had looked at Ding Tao as too arrogant after two years of disappearing. Once they are ready to face each other in one fight, inevitably they begin to wonder if they are not the ones who are too high to judge themselves.

Ding Tao himself actually got his composure in that training room. It didn't matter whether he would win or lose at that time.

Ding Tao, who had been made to believe fully in the glory of the hearts of the Huang family leaders, saw no problem if the sword fell into their hands. If he wins that match…

Well, to be honest Ding Tao himself never thought that he would win that match, either, although he hoped also that at least he could win some battles so that his teacher would not be ashamed of having educated him as a student.

There was also in his heart a curiosity and wanted to test, actually the extent of his progress in pursuing martial arts.

Because of that the tense faces of the young people in the Huang family, looked so contrasted with the calm face of Ding Tao, who was, and his calm appearance certainly made many of the feelings present there tremble even more.

Especially those who do not have full confidence in their own abilities.

Slowly Tiong Fa circulated his gaze around the arena. This time Tiong Fa was indeed acting as the director, even Huang Jin who was the head of the Huang family did not give any input, for two reasons.

In the first, he was full of faith in Tiong Fa, in his heart Huang Jin admitted that the ingenuity of this believer was above his own ingenuity.

Had there ever been the slightest suspicion in his heart of Tiong Fa's loyalty, Huang Jin would not have been reluctant to take his life.

But both Tiong Fa and Huang Jin were clever enough to know that the two of them needed each other.

The second reason is, if there is a miscalculation, whatever it is, Huang Jin does not want his name to become contaminated. At the last moment he could still throw the blame on Tiong Fa's shoulders, though not entirely.

Tiong Fa's eyes fell on a young boy who became a champion in the graduation exam 6 years ago.

With a nod of his head he gave the young man the order to advance forward, becoming a guinea pig to test the extent of Ding Tao's science progress.

Feng Xiaohong name the child, in the age of 12 years he managed to pass as the best participant, his brain watered and quickly absorbed every lesson.

If there are shortcomings, then it lies in its contented nature. The teachers had to adjust the speed of the new lesson to its ability to absorb the lesson. Maybe this is one of the weaknesses of a thin-brained person, precisely because he is faster in understanding something, then he also wants to learn new.

Unlike Ding Tao who spent years exploring the usefulness of several styles to the basics. This Feng Xiaohong devoured hundreds of moves at the same time.

Tiong Fa of course knew Feng Xiaohong's weakness, but as usual his careful brain always worked unmitigatedly, the two goals he wanted. Looking at Ding Tao's level of progress, and it could be judged by confronting Ding Tao with the knowledgeable though somewhat shallow Feng Xiaohong.

And the second goal, is to make Feng Xiaohong aware of the need to pursue and explore the techniques he has learned.

The two young men began to face each other, Feng Xiaohong was not a fool, he had seen the fight between Wang Chen Jin and Ding Tao, where the variation of Wang Chen Jin's attack finally managed to be countered by Ding Tao's simple yet precise reply.

Even the fight had aroused his interest to re-examine every move he had learned.

But like if Ding Tao dives to the bottom of the ocean and observes all the contents. Feng Xiaohong was already satisfied, when she felt she had already seen the bottom.

A beautiful stance was immediately launched by Feng Xiaohong, his wooden sword moved making a circle of attacks. He left a hole between the attacks.

If Ding Tao moved dodging then the follow-up attacks would continuously follow him. If Ding Tao was consumed by the stratagem and attempted to counterattack using a defensive hole that was deliberately left aside, then a deadly attack had already been prepared by Feng Xiaohong.

His sword would turn around confining Ding Tao's exit while the punch of his hand would launch a deadly attack.

This is one of the highest-level moves that a blood-unrelated person with the Huang family can learn. Tiong Fa was satisfied to see Feng Xiaohong's decision, he himself would naturally be able to break the siege, especially based on his power set that had been nurtured for much longer.

But was Ding Tao capable of breaking that attack style?

At the first buzz of Ding Tao moving backwards, those who were observing the match saw it with various responses. For those at the bottom level, the moves Feng put out

Xiaohong is the ultimate skill of the advanced section taught to those who have no blood ties to the Huang family.

Of course, for them this style was an unsolved one, for those Ding Tao who learned from Gu Tong Dang was the same as them. For Ding Tao of course

this is the ultimate, unsolved attack mode.

For them, the problem is only who is faster to take the initiative, who is more adept at attacking and who is stronger.
