บท 42: Winning and losing

Though the bet was "Slave Huan will beat Master Yu in three moves", Shangguan Yushi rushed to advance her first move, which was not what Gu Shenwei was expecting.

She lowered her left shoulder. Gu Shenwei thought her move would be "Fierce Thunder", in which she would disguise her two fists while her real attack used her foot. Gu Shenwei chose to break it by leaning his body backward and catching her foot in his hands to throw her back.

It turned out that Shangguan Yushi was using "Encompass the left, brush the right". Both elements of this attack were genuine offences and fast as lightning. Gu Shenwei's skills were slightly inferior to hers, which almost caused him to lose immediately.

Thanks to the days he had spent with Maid Lotus, learning to read her moves on the fly, he reacted much faster than before. He waited for the moment and retreated immediately. Though he did not receive her kick, he was totally embarrassed.
