บท 23: Zheng-Fu VS Dong-Chu (2)
“That’s right. I couldn’t do this when I was his age. Dong-Chu seems to gain skills day after day.” Hai-Gu was so impressed by Dong-Chu’s ability that he complimented him without realizing it…
Lao-Chu could not help but smile when he saw that everyone was thrilled by his son’s fighting skill. He had been spending his time pushing his son to achieve this skill. Dong-Chu had already achieved the second stage of this fighting skill too…
Zheng-Fu could feel all the heatwave that was projected from Dong-Chu, but he showed no sign of retreating and moving away. He continued to stand still and closed his eyes as if he were not in a fighting test…
“What is he doing? Why doesn’t he prepare to counter the attack?”
“Is he giving up? Maybe he doesn’t know how to counter the attack.”
“Zheng-Fu, son!”
“Why is he just standing there? Does he want to stop fighting?” Tong-Lang got psyched when he saw that Zheng-Fu was standing unmoved…
“Calm down, brother. He might know well how to deal with the attack, so he just stands still like that. Or he might be preparing to counter the attack with some skill that needs him to go deep in his mediation.” Tong-Tieng tried to calm Tong-Lang down after he lost it when he saw Zheng-Fu standing still in front of the heat…
“Know well!?”
“I think the boy is just frozen because of tremendous fear, more like! Kong-Shi, brother! I think you should throw the white flag for him before he gets real h...”
Bam!
Whoosh!
Lao-Chu did not have a chance to finish his sentence when the heatwave that was projected from Dong-Chu’s sword was pushed away by Zheng-Fu. No one was quick enough to see how Zheng-Fu did it. It happened before anyone could get it together…
“Wh…what happened!?
It took a nanosecond for Zheng-Fu to use his skill to counter the heatwave. He intended to make it so quick because he did not want anyone to see what he was doing. In that blink of an eye moment, he used the second stage of the Belt Sword skill and that was the Soft for Fencing skill. The counter power from that skill was too quick for eyes could detect…
H…How could that be!? Dong-Chu felt like he was losing face after the heat attack that he was proud to present was extinguished within no time…
“Was that all you got? I thought you were going to make me pay for everything that I owe you. If it continues like this, I think you won’t get anything from me…”
“Yah!”
“That was just a starter!” Zheng-Fu did not get to finish his sentence when Dong-Chu shouted back and used the next fighting technique immediately on him, twice…
“The Fire of Rage!”
“The Fire of Rage!”
“He projected that force twice in a roll!?”
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
As the two waves of raging heat were about to hit Zheng-Fu, they were pushed away exactly like what happened with that first heatwave. Zheng-Fu did it again and no one saw how he did it…
“What technique did he just use? I couldn’t catch that. It was so quick that I don’t know what technique that was!”
“That’s right, brother. I couldn’t catch it either. So, I don’t know what technique that was, but I think it’s definitely something of the higher-level of the lower-level fighting skill. No. It must be something of the mid-level fighting skill.” Tong-Lang was kind of sad because he did not know what fighting skill Zheng-Fu used to counter the attack, even though he tried not to blink at all. He could guess though that it must be a skill that belonged to the mid-level skill…
“A mid-level fighting skill!?”
When everyone heard Tong-Lang, they were startled immediately out of shock because they could not see anything. They only saw Zheng-Fu standing still and the next thing they knew, the heat energy emitted from Dong-Chu got bounced back to where they came from. And that was all…
“Even the Monitor couldn’t get a glimpse of it, how do we even know what happened? Who does know what kind of technique that Zheng-Fu used? Anyone? Please tell me. I would like to know!”
“Right. Anyone?”
Everybody was extremely curious and would like to know the answer. However, the one who wanted to know the most would be Dong-Chu. And that was because all three moves he used to attack Zheng-Fu got pushed away in a roll. He could see that Zheng-Fu did not even move at all when he countered him. All projected heat waves were pushed back and disappeared in thin air…
Lao-Chu did not know either what fighting technique Zheng-Fu was using. The only person who could catch Zheng-Fu in the counter action was none other than Mo-Zi, the leader of the clan. And that was because he possessed a higher level of skill. He could see exactly what Zheng-Fu was doing. If he was not at the Golden Core stage, he probably could not see what was going on a minute ago. Mo-Zi knew well the name of the fighting technique that Zheng-Fu used and that made him feel in utmost amazement…
*Where did this boy come from? How come he could make the techniques so powerful? The techniques that he had been using by far were the techniques that we have in our clan. But those techniques do not produce powerful results by their nature, thus they seem to be useless. How come the boy could use them so well? It looks like the movement patterns are not exactly like the ones in the manuals. That movement pattern that he used in the beginning too.* Mo-Zi thought about Zheng-Fu and the fighting techniques that he used in the test. He thought that the results were beyond efficient. He used to practice these techniques, so he knew well how those techniques actually were…
“You must be cheating! He must be cheating, the mediator. He must be carrying something magical!” Dong-Chu could not help thinking negatively that way. He thought trash like Zheng-Fu could not turn into a diamond without doing something shady…
Cheating?!
“Did you just call me a cheater? What about you? The fighting techniques that you used on me were too dangerous. You could have hurt me severely or crippled me for good. Don’t try to paint me a cheater!” Zheng-Fu was so angry when he heard that Dong-Chu called him a cheater…
“If you didn’t cheat, how come you could counter my attacks like that?”
“I don’t have to explain that to you. How about you pay me respect and call me your grandfather, then I’ll tell you everything.”
“Pay you respect and call you a respectable grandfather!?”
Everyone was stirred again by Zheng-Fu’s words. No one would ever think that Zheng-Fu would dare to say that. Telling Dong-Chu to pay him respect and call him a respectable grandfather could only mean that he made Lao-Chu his son simultaneously. And that was a huge humiliation…
“Darn it! You smug! How dare you disgrace me!” Lao-Chu had to jump up to point his finger at Zheng-Fu and shout at him with utmost fury…
“Take it easy, Lao-Chu, brother. He is just a kid. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Please ignore him. Please accept my apology for his impolite manner.” Kong-Shi stood up to calm Lao-Chu down. He tried to apologize to Lao-Chu by cupping his hands and saying sorry…
Tsk!
“You need to educate him better. Teach him how to respect the elders!”
“You got it, Lao-Chu, brother. I’ll guide him and teach him to know his place better.”
Kong-Shi felt extremely awkward after hearing Zheng-Fu’s conversation with Dong-Chu. He never thought that his son would have that kind of trait that made him talk so rude like that. Zheng-Fu, at the same time, turned to look at Kong-Shi and saw that he did not take what he heard from him so well. Zheng-Fu knew how his father felt, so he shook his head mildly thinking he could not help it…
“You trash! If I couldn’t make you bleed and wash away the disgrace you gave me with your blood, then no one can call me Dong-Chu ever again!”
“What!? Trash!? Great! I’ll let you do your best and I’ll use just half of my energy, so you’ll know who exactly is the trash around here!”
“Half of your energy!?”
Zheng-Fu once again shocked everyone with his words. However, Dong-Chu could not care any less this time because he was so furious that he took out that pill his father gave him and tossed it in his mouth immediately. The pill dissolved quickly in his mouth which caused a sudden rise of his Qi energy level. The energy wave around Dong-Chu got completely violent…
*Did he just toss something in his mouth? Why did his energy level increase that much? Did he just take a supplemental pill?* Zheng-Fu did not know what kind of pill Dong-Chu took, but judging from the energy wave that was being exuded from Dong-Chu, he could guess what kind of pill his opponent just took…
“That boy just took a pill!” Tong-Lang who never took his eyes off the stage saw clearly the moment that Dong-Chu just threw a pill into his mouth. So, he yelled to let others know…
“He used a supplemental pill!”
Tong-Lang was not the only one who saw what Dong-Chu did. Everyone else was seeing it too. Lao-Chu also saw the moment that his son tossed the pill into his mouth. His son’s sloppiness made him get completely mad at him. He never thought that his son could be this dumb letting the audience see him with the pill. He thought his son could have taken the pill when not a lot of people could see. If that was the case, he could help clear things up for him. So, he had no way to make excuses for Dong-Chu. And he had to find some convincing excuse for himself now instead…
“That boy broke the rule, mediator! He is using a cheating pill!” Hai-Gu stood up to let the mediator know what Dong-Chu just did…
“Yeah! He’s cheating!”
Everybody could not stop talking about what they saw, which made the mediator act reluctantly because he saw Dong-Chu and the pill too, but he did not know how to deal with the situation. However, all of a sudden, there was a statement shouted out so loudly that the voice permeated the fighting stage…
“Let the fight continue!”
Mo-Zi was the one who made that statement. Everyone turned to him once they heard what he said because his statement made them confused. Hai-Gu was especially confused because he was the one who asked the mediator to stop the fight. He thought that no one would argue with him on that. Lao-Chu, on the other hand, felt relieved. His facial expression started to get back to normal…
“Now you will be the one who pays respect to me.” Dong-Chu already felt like the winner and it was all because of the special pill. He felt the quick rise in his Qi energy. It jumped from the fifth to the seventh level of the Qi Gathering stage all of a sudden…
“Does it matter that your energy gets boosted? Will you be able to deal with the consequences?”
“I don’t care as long as I can get rid of you, trash. Hahaha!”
“Yah!”
“Take this!”
[The second stage of the Sword of Mountain Shatter]
[The Fire of Mountain Shatter]
Zoom!
The heatwave from the Fire of Rage skill was already strong enough to increase the temperature around the test venue. But when Dong-Chu started to project the heatwave from the second stage of the sword of fire skill, it made everyone whose energy was lower than the ninth level of the Qi Gathering stage faltered. They had to step away from the area…
“So hot!”
“What kind of intense heat is this? I can still feel it even though I’m this far from the stage. If Dong-Chu possessed a higher level of the Qi Gathering stage, the power of the heat would be more tremendous.”
Everyone agreed with that notion. By now, the fights in every stage were done and they got the winners from those stages. Zheng-Fu and Dong-Chu were the only pair left…
“Great! When you’re using every drop of your energy like that, I’ll do the same!”
“Yah!”
The second stage of the Sword of Wind skill…
[The Wave of Storm]
Whoosh!
Boom!
