Ah Chun - Volume 1 Chapter 261 Round Two Stage Three Part Four
It was not long before the battles began once again and Ah Chun had a series of forfeits. It seemed her battle with Geng Su caused the other qi gathering disciples to not even want to attempt to fight her. That was until the young man with a staff stood in front of her. Ah Chun remembered that this young man was one of the people she had watched fight. His ability with his staff was very high. She was actually looking forward to this fight.
“So you are Ah Chun! My name is Long Jing!” Long Jing patted his shoulder with his staff and smiled. He gave a slight bow towards Ah Chun.
“It’s good to meet you, Mr. Long, As you said I am Ah Chun.” Ah Chun bowed back. She got good vibes from Long Jing.
“Ahah! I knew you were a good person. Hey after the tournament let’s go get some spirit cuisine! There are two others that want to meet you as well. You will more than likely meet one of them today. By the way, what you did earlier to Geng Su was great! I laughed so hard!” Long Jing kept talking away. It was as if he had completely forgotten he was on a battle stage.
Ah Chun could only smile and shake her head. Her feelings were right this Long Jing was an interesting person. Ah Chun hated to interrupt Long Jing’s storytelling but she could see that the overseer was feeling a bit helpless. “Mr. Long, are you going to forfeit or do you want to have a match with me?”
“Enough of the Mr. stuff! It makes me feel so old! I am only eighteen! Just call me Jing no wait call me Big Brother Jing! Yes, Big Brother Jing! There is no way your Big Brother Jing would forfeit in a match against his little sister! As a Big Brother, it is my duty to make sure my little sister can practice to her heart’s content. I only ask Little Chunchun, can you go easy on me? Your sword qi is very scary.” Ah Chun felt like she was put into a daze. How did she suddenly get another older brother? And what was this Little Chunchun name!?
Ah Chun did not know whether to laugh or cry. Long Jing’s expression kept changing as he talked making his every word feel very animated. Ah Chun, in the end, started to laugh as she said: “Then Big Brother Jing, we can fight a battle with just weapons with no techniques. How does that sound?”
“Oh! Hearing Little Chunchun call me Big Brother really makes me happy. Look a tear rolled down my cheek because of how happy I am! But what Little Chunchun said sounds interesting! Okay, let’s do that!” Long Jing was getting excited because he had been wanting to have a fight with Ah Chun since the mystic realm.
The two of them got into a stance, Ah Chun with a sword, Long Jing with a staff. Ah Chun watched Long Jing’s feet movement very closely. She was not looking at his face at all. She could tell what his next move would be just by looking at his feet. Long Jing really admired Ah Chun’s perception. Just by looking at his feet due to the distance between the two of them she could deduce when he would attack. If it was close range, she would not be able to do this. “Little Chunchun here I come!”
Ah Chun could only laugh at Ling Jing announcing the fact that he was attacking. She knew he did that in order to try to get her to raise her head. One’s foot movement was like a double edged sword. It could do two things. One, it would allow you to outmaneuver your opponent and the second thing is it could also tell your opponent what you plan to do next. This was exactly Long Jing’s thought process if he could get her to raise her head he could sweep in with his staff. But little did he know that Ah Chun had well over ten thousand years of experience fighting.
Ah Chun smiled mischievously as she shouted out in a childish and aggrieved voice: “Big Brother Jing are you really going to hurt your Little Chunchun?” She raised her head and looked up at Long Jing. She bit her lower lip as she pouted and forced a few tears to roll down her cheek.
Seeing those watery eyes and pouting lip and her calling out Big Brother Jing caused Long Jing to stumble his steps and almost fall over. Of course, Ah Chun was not going to let this opening slip by her so she swiftly shot forward and used her tail to wrap it around Long Jing’s staff as she spun her body around causing her tail to pull Long Jing’s staff out of his hand. She then shifted to Long Jing’s side and lifted her foot and kicked Long Jing squarely in his side causing him to cry out a muffled groan of pain as he slid across the stage.
Long Jing’s face flushed red. To his embarrassment he actually fell for such a cheap trick! He was lucky that Ah Chun did not kick him off the battle stage even though she could! “Little Chunchun that’s cheating!”
Down below the battle stage a young woman who was watching the match could not help but facepalm. “Jing what the hell are you doing! Did you go up on to the battle stage to joke around?” The young woman really wanted to know what was wrong with her friend!
