The girl looked hatefully at Ah Chun as she slowly got up from the ground. She was on the very edge of the battle stage and was very lucky she was not knocked off. Ah Chun did this on purpose so she could play with her a little longer. Of course, The girl did not know that Ah Chun purposely controlled her strength just enough to send the girl to the edge of the stage. She gave Ah Chun a smug look as she shouted out. "You might have caught me off guard but you lost your chance to defeat me!"
"Oh? Then come I am waiting." Ah Chun yawned as she said this. She was doing it to anger the girl. The more angry the girl got the worst she would fight.
The sect master and other elders all looked over at Edler Dan. Elder Dan only smiled as she chuckled. "Chun'er said she wanted to have fun in this tournament. So I can see why she is purposely angering the girl. Plus this disciple has an air of arrogance about her. So I believe that Chun'er is also trying to break some of her ego so she understands that she should never judge a book by its cover. I actually forbade Chun'er from using real swords since she will always go for the vitals and might accidentally kill someone. That is why I gave her a wooden sword. But like I said, never judge a book by its cover."
The Sect Master smiled when he heard what Elder Dan had to say. He had the same idea as her when he watched Ah Chun's actions. He could tell she did not use her full strength to hit the disciple in her attack. She had easily dodged the girl's attack and struck out to knock her right to the edge of the stage on purpose.
All the other elders felt what Elder Dan said was true. One should never judge a book by its cover because even a rabbit can bite if pushed hard enough. So they nodded their heads to agree with what Elder Dan had to say and turned their attention back to the battle on the stage.
Ah Chun once again watched as the girl rushed towards her. Ah Chun only shook her head and smiled as she raised her sword and….
*Whack!*
A loud sound was heard as Ah Chun struck the girl's shoulder of the arm that was reaching out to grab her. The girl let out a scream of pain as she felt her collar bone being crushed. "Lesson one… Never underestimate your opponent. You charge at me like a starving wolf you will fail no matter how many times you charge."
Ah Chun moved her little feet as she gracefully spun her body around and used her tail to once again send the girl flying. "Lesson Two… Even when you are hurt you must suck it up and endure or you will find yourself flying through the air!"
The girl once again found herself at the very edge of the stage. One wrong step and she would have fallen off. She felt humiliated by the fact that a young girl who still smelled of her mother's milk was telling her how to fight. She could not take such a disgrace she ignored the pain in her collar bone and charged once more!
Seeing the girl still doing the same thing over and over caused Ah Chun to let out a long sigh. She shook her head and slashed down with the wooden sword. "Lesson three just because it is a wooden sword does not mean it can not cut. Anyone proficient in swordplay can slice or stab a person with something as simple as their finger. So a wooden sword is the same as having the sharpest sword all of the heavens in the hands of a master."
There was a spurt of blood as a long thin slice appeared across the girl's chest that was deep enough that it went all the way down to her girl's bones. Ah Chun made sure not to slice through any vitals when she did this attack.
The girl was now fully sober as her anger diminished and she came back to her senses as she felt the burning pain in her chest. Blood continued to flow out of the wound. The girl was about to open her mouth and admit defeat but did not get a chance as Ah Chun once again moved her little feet twirled her body around and this time using more strength she hit the girl with her tail sending her flying right off the stage.
Ah Chun did not want to let the girl admit defeat since if she did she would not learn a hard lesson so Ah Chun made sure to use enough strength to crack a few ribs as she sent the girl flying. Ah Chun stood on the stage as the overseer of her stage shouted out in a loud voice: "Stage One, winner, Ah Chun! She will get a five minute break before her next battle."
Ah Chun smiled and sat down and closed her eyes to adjust her condition. The battles are continuous and depending on how hurt one was the overseer would give a rest time appropriate for the disciple to heal. Since Ah Chun did not get hurt she only got a five minute break. Ah Chun did not mind continuous battles it would allow her to really solidify her foundation quicker. She was actually looking forward to the battles to come she had seen some of these battles around here that looked to be rather intense. So she had high expectations for some of her future battles.
