The Whispering Wind Sword

35. Tiong Fa's

Tiong Fa was already in front of Ding Tao, his calm face did not show the abomination of his heart.

He displayed a regretful face and said he to Ding Tao,

―Actually I feel ashamed, having to urge you in such a way.‖ermark

Ding Tao, who still believed in Tiong Fa, replied no less politely,

―Anak Ding understands Uncle Tiong's heart, let alone this becomes a good experience for children. I will not blame my uncle.‖ermark

―Hemm. Set your breath first, when you're ready, you'll open the attack first. I'm an old man who deserves to give up on the younger one.‖ermark

―Thank you uncle.‖,erm, irm

said Ding Tao who truly felt grateful.

Far away on the edge of the arena Zhang Zhiyi cursed Tiong Fa inwardly. For what time was Ding Tao about to regulate his breath? The wounds he had suffered since earlier against him and Wang Sanbo were certainly not easy to just disappear.

But Ding Tao, who did not think much, actually used the opportunity to gather as much pure air as he could in his body. Slowly flowed pure air around his entire body, just to relieve the damage that has occurred.

The young man was not in a hurry to make an attack, while trying to recuperate he thought hard, what way would he take to deal with Tiong Fa.

Tiong Fa who had generously given Ding Tao time to recuperate, quietly became annoyed.

It was unexpected that the young man actually used time without hesitation.

―Basic imbecile youth shameless.‖,erm, irm

meaning in the heart.

Ding Tao himself was actually embarrassed and hesitated, because it made everyone present wait for him, but the young man saw the task given by his teacher was much more important than that. When he finally prepared to attack, his body already felt much fresher, the pain in the injured body parts can still be held without disturbing the course of pure air in the body.

―Sorry uncle, if you wait too long.‖,erm, irm

she said with a slightly reddened face.

―Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Are you ready now?‖ermark

―Yes uncle, I'll start now. Watch attack!‖ermark

The moves launched by Ding Tao are the third of the 3 basic styles of the Huang family sword. This time he did not dare to launch a half-assed attack.

His experience with Zhang Zhiyi was enough to teach him not to play around in every fight. Whoever the opponent is and whatever the circumstances.

His stab was so fast and hard that even his wooden sword was buzzing.

Tiong Fa did not become nervous because of it, it was easy for his attack to break. He changed who attacked.

In a short time, dozens of moves they have launched alternately. The two sides were still balanced, both Ding Tao and Tiong Fa were still attacking each other and defending with the meeting. Tiong Fa who expected Ding Tao's strength to be much weakened after the previous fights so complained inwardly, when watching the tenacity of the young man.

But Tiong Fa was quite patient and experienced, without any hurry he calmly tried to suppress Ding Tao, occasionally moving away while opening a gap to lure Ding Tao to jump in attack, he said, so that the youth's energy will run out faster.

The two people were like they were doing a sword dance, surrounding a fairly wide arena.

Ding Tao's sweat that had just dried up, quickly flowed back down profusely. His breath began to hunt. Only then did Tiong Fa bring out his mainstays. These are secret moves, known only to the family itself.

Most actually use this opportunity to capture as many secret moves as possible Huang family that they have never seen.

With a much calmer heart, their observations were much more careful. Although they admired the moves exhibited by Tiong Fa, they were even more amazed at Ding Tao who was able to survive for so long. How many times have they asked themselves, had they been attacked in such a way, could they have escaped the attack?

Of course after seeing the way Ding Tao escaped, the solution became much easier to understand.

But what made them wonder, how did Ding Tao who had never learned the secret skill, so that the young man could know how to solve it?

Tiong Fa was no less amazed by the young man's talent, but his admiration turned into envy and envy. What was more when he recalled their plan to attract the young man into the Huang family. Secretly he actually felt the worry growing in his little heart, would that young man not harm his standing in the Huang family later on?

Precisely because the talent of the young man was too great.

Before facing the young man head-on, this was not imagined by Tiong Fa, but now that he was able to dive in directly to fight with the young man, it began to disturb his heart.

Ding Tao was always a step or half late in dealing with the secret moves of the Huang family. But the fact that the young man was able to avoid himself and not to fall into the game of Tiong Fa, showed that in that short time, he was not, the young man has been able to capture the outline or idea brought by the moves.

Let alone Tiong Fa facing the young man head-on, even Huang Jin who was watching from the edge of the arena did not believe in his vision.

Likewise, other leading figures, such as Huang Yunshu and Huang Ren Fang, especially Huan Ren Fang who suddenly could feel his position as a candidate

his father's primary successor was being shifted by an invisible hand.

The fear that appeared in Tiong Fa's heart also appeared in their hearts. Recruiting a talented person is necessary, but if the person is much more talented than themselves, is it not like raising a tiger cub, which if large will endanger the life of the caretaker?

Usually to ensure that the student child who is drawn in will not harm him, a teacher will save one or two ultimate moves. The moves that will later be used if the student turns out to be unfaithful to the college.

But that was not the case for a person like Ding Tao, with his talent being told one, he could already understand two and three. Moreover, Ding Tao has studied the entire basic and advanced styles. As if to enter one room, the door has been found and the key is in hand. Just one step away, all the Huang family knowledge will be mastered.

If people are playing cards and all the aces are already in the hand, will they deliberately give in?

People measured others by their own size, when they saw Ding Tao's talent their cold sweat flowed out.

By bluffing his teeth, in Tiong Fa's heart curses.

The longer, Ding Tao's resistance is getting tenacious.

Facing the secret moves of the Huang family, it was precisely the young man's mind became more and more open. If people play puzzles and almost all the puzzles have been arranged, then it is easier to find a place for the remaining pieces.

So is the current state of Ding Tao, if he does not see and experience for himself the secret moves of the Huang family, if he does not see and experience the secrets of the Huang family, it might take him a year or two to develop what he already has to master to the peak.

But Tiong Fa's attacks opened his eyes and that one or two years was easily mastered now.

Although his mastery was not really perfect, but to withstand Tiong Fa's attacks, it was much more than enough.

The audience who had witnessed the match was heartless, so moved to see the Ding Tao resistance that was getting stronger. Especially when the position of the two began to balance.

Readers who love to watch horse racing matches can probably imagine their feelings back then, how when a horse that was not lined up before, suddenly started to approach the leading horse in the last round. Especially if the reader happens to have placed a bet on the horse.

What a shame for Tiong Fa, the longer he fought with Ding Tao, the faster the young man matured his mastery.

Tiong Fa's only hope was that the young man's energy had already been drained.
