The Whispering Wind Sword

4.Chapter 4's

Great master Huang Jin replied to Wang Dou's respect with the same respect, when Wang Dou offered a match between Ding Tao and his son, he did not immediately reply, after all there was a hint of doubt in his heart, he looked at Gu Tong Dang with raised eyebrows, asking for consideration.

Gu Tong Dang thought for a while, while observing Wang Chen Jin. The age of the young man was not much different from Ding Tao, and he proposed Ding Tao as the best participant was not without reason. If he were to now advise Great Master Huang Jin to refuse that match, it would certainly be embarrassing for him as a teacher.

But Wang Chen Jin certainly had also inherited his father's knowledge, maybe almost complete, because the age he was indeed time to receive the science completely, so the rest is only to mature the existing knowledge.

In the case of Ding Tao, there is a difference, Ding Tao is just a servant child who was then made a gardener in the Huang family after his parents died. So it is impossible to be taught family science to the end, unless the great Master Huang Jin is interested in the young man's talent and decides to pull him into the Huang family.

Had Ding Tao been as dumb as everyone thought, surely Gu Tong Dang would have thoughtlessly rejected the match twice, it would have been better for him to get embarrassed than to harm his student.

But Gu Tong Dang did not appoint Ding Tao as the best graduate out of compassion. Instead he saw his own advantages from within Ding Tao, he said, that was also why he deliberately did not approve of the young man to encourage the young man to pursue the same basic techniques for many years.

Merely, was it with his advantages that Ding Tao would be able to keep himself in that match?

This was still a question in itself for Gu Tong Dang. Actually, the words of young lady Huang who was careless had accidentally guessed exactly the situation of Ding Tao.

It was the words of the founder of the Huang family, Huang Cheng Yan, that made Gu Tong Dang deliberately force Ding Tao to repeat the same style by preventing the young man from taking the test.

Since first training Ding Tao who was still a child, Gu Tong Dang saw Ding Tao's sensitivity in absorbing the techniques taught. Small details that people do not see, even himself, can be felt strangely by Ding Tao.

When little Ding Tao conveyed his feelings to Gu Tong Dang and asked, why the hand movement was not a little more down, why the legs were too tight, and so on, opened the old teacher's mind.

Ding Tao has a sensitivity to the fairness of a movement, how one more natural movement can produce greater energy, faster, easier to change position and so on.

From then on, Gu Tong Dang tried to direct Ding Tao to reflect on every move he made. Not only in terms of natural reasonableness of a movement, but also in terms of strategy in a fight.

That's why Ding Tao took so many years before he could convince the 12 basic moves, because for Ding Tao every move, every position every move took, it is a series of movements 3-4 steps forward.

Like a chess expert playing his chess seeds, every time Ding Tao made an opening or movement, in his mind was already imagined what the next move would be, if the opponent reacted so or so.

Ding Tao's advantages are stored by Gu Tong Dang who does not want the humble Ding Tao to turn arrogant, so that the talent that exists becomes wasted.

Outside his mouth was always showing Ding Tao's innocence, while secretly and through words that seemed to be passing by, he gave Ding Tao instructions and directions without the child himself noticing.

With a thumping finally the old teacher nodded, although Ding Tao might not be able to win the match, but the old master was confident that Ding Tao would be able to hold on.

The Huang Family would not be humiliated and the people's views towards Ding Tao themselves would naturally change. In the heart the old master prayed to the gods and ancestors, to protect his beloved disciple.

The great master Huang Jin who was still hesitant, seeing Gu Tong Dang's confidence, finally brushed off his doubts, with a faint smile he replied,

"Brother Wang is wise. Indeed, the affairs of young people forever make people who are old become dizzy. If it is only explained in words, it will forever be curious. Let it be after the game they can respect each other and be close friends."

With his words it was indirectly the great Lord Huang Jin, confirming Ying Ying's words and subtly saying that the basic moves of the Huang family were enough to deal with Wang Dou's knowledge that Wang Chen Jin had inherited.

Wang Dou did not not not feel that subtle innuendo, but Wang Dou had already been unfortunate across the martial world for many years, his self-control was ripe, he said, although in his heart he was cursing but on the outside he was laughing happily,

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right. Indeed young people should not be afraid of a little sword scratch. Son of Jin, go ahead, ask the little you for guidance."

Wang Chen Jin who heard his father's words jumped deftly into the middle of the field. His face was excited, from the words of his father he understood, that although he had to be careful not to kill the opponent, he did not have to hesitate to hurt his opponent.

"Hmm.. beautiful lady.I will show you my advantages of that stupid young man."

Huang Ying Ying who saw that smile was shrill looking away, he looked at Ding Tao with dismay, in his mind he could already imagine how Ding Tao would lose and get hurt.

Ding Tao did not not not not see it all, but seeing it actually made his spirit rise. In front of the girl he liked, he wanted to show his abilities or at least his manhood. His chest may split the opponent's sword, but not later he will retreat or complain.

If his previous feelings were chaotic and full of worry, doubt his own abilities, fearing that later he would humiliate the Huang family and himself. Now that feeling is all gone.

With a burning heart, he bowed respectfully to Huang Jin before going to the middle of the field, facing off against Wang Chen Jin.

The great master Huang Jin who saw Rome Ding Tao's face was comforted, and became increasingly convinced that the young man would not embarrass his surname. Even if you lose, you will lose brilliantly.

After the two faced off then the great Master Huang Jin also gave direction,

"Today we'll have a friendly match. There is no grudge of hostility, either before or after the match.

Fight honestly, as much as possible keep from hurting each other."

Ding Tao nodded obediently,

"Good Mr. Huang."

While Wang Chen Jin was smiling, "Of course uncle Huang."

In his heart Wang Chen Jin had already planned out how he would defeat Ding Tao resplendently, if necessary he would give a hint of an eye mark on his face. Or perhaps gouging out one of his eyeballs, the worse his face the better, lest he have the courage to approach Huang Ying Ying. His father would not be angry and ready to defend himself, as long as the young man was still alive, there would naturally be no long trouble.

"Start!!"

Immediately after hearing the cue from Huang Jin, without waiting for Ding Tao to prepare, Wang Chen Jin charged swiftly, the tips of his sword appearing to scatter in the eye of vital body points.

The quickness of the attack made Ding Tao falter, lucky that the repetitive exercises made his body move reflexively to dodge.

But Wang Chen Jin was unwilling to let go of that good opportunity, his feet moved quickly following the dodging Ding Tao, his sword again seemed to tremble and break into several sword shadows.

But this time Ding Tao had been able to control his feelings, his mind had started to concentrate on the threat in front of him, even though he had not had time to improve his standing or take a defensive stance, but he was able to avoid it to a better position.

In one dodging move, Ding Tao pulled the sword from its sheath.

Wang Chen Jin's stormy attacks began to be blocked by the strong defenses of the Tao Song.

Ding Tao's movement was not complicated, but every movement was right on target, closing every gap.

His defection not only stopped Wang Chen Jin's attacks, but also always made Wang Chen Jin in a fuss to continue his attacks.

This was indeed the first fight for Ding Tao, but I don't know how many times he had fought in his mind.
