Sage, I need to lick your ass real quick - this has rapidly become one of my favorites of all time.
Don't you dare disappear like so many quality QMs do.

Let's get it on!

>>36611634
Yo Sage I deeply need to talk Wulin shop with someone who knows their shit

You have like, a Skype or somethin'

>>36611634
So. How long did we spend learning carefree saber? It seems like it was just a single afternoon, is that right? If yes we're pretty damn boss, even if they are similar styles.

>>36611932
No, but start a General on the front page and I'll be there. Last time someone did that it went on for like, three hours.
Willing to bet a lot of people on this quest right now were there.
>>36612061
Yes, a single afternoon. Sky's high intelligence helps him pick up new styles quickly.
>>36611634

You find your way back to the main hall, where nobody seems to notice you come in, except for Brother Genshu, who walks over to you.

At first think it's too hot in here, before you realize you're actually SWEATING a little.
"Shit...," you mutter under your breath, trying to shake the overwhelming sensation of your sudden visitor's presence off.

You take it back; the tiger was less scary then him.

"Hero Sky! I wondered where you were. Yuan Shanli is about to...are you alright?" he says, noticing your distress.

"Yeah...yeah I'm good," you say, shaking your hair and walking back with him to the center of the hall.

Genshu rejoins the Shaolin Sect, and everyone else ceases mingling (or brooding alone, or whatever it is Qiang and Jian are doing), and rejoins their cliques, except you who stand alone, leaning back on your elbows on the table where the food is placed.

Yuan Shanli stands on the top of a staircase, and his voice is raised to be heard.

"Young Xia! Now that the final preparations are set, the rules of the finals will be stated; as before in tournaments such as this, any contestant may fight any other contestant of their choosing, so long as the contestant agrees. A win in the match disqualifies no one; contestants may continue to fight in matches until they no longer desire to or feel physically unable to! Choose among yourselves whom your first opponents are, and then we shall arrange your battles!"

"Dibs on Qiang," you say loudly.

>>36612061
One standard training montage.

Never underestimate how much you can get done in that period.

>>36612087
>"Dibs on Qiang," you say loudly
I found this funnier than I should.

>>36612110
I feel you anon

>>36612087
Wait so how is this scored?
By points?
Most wins, wins?
So like, win is a point
draw is half and lose is 0?

>>36612132
Last xia standing?

>>36612087
I lol'd.
Since we can learn styles up to lesser expert level in a single afternoon how do we stack up against Ai Zhu?

>>36612132
Probably last one standing.

>>36612087
>>36612160
Or rather her famed learning ability

>>36612160
Carefree Saber is a comparatively simple style, though. It's not the best gauge of how quickly we learn.

>>36612132
Last one standing

>>36612188
>>36612174
>>36612156
>last one standing
Oh shit, okay this is going to be fucked up.
We're going to need lots of cows

when we do fight qiang i dont think TTIP is going to work on him; he seems like a strong body type fighter (can take hits and give them back) so i say yin yang rotation

>>36612210
The instant movement can be used for other things though

>>36612132

Wrong kind of tournament.

This isn't a formalized sporting event; it's about seeing who can beat who in a no-holds-barred contest of martial skill, one-on-one.
If nobody fights everybody, then the matter isn't truly settled, so everyone fights people until they can't or when they loose interest in fighting anyone else.

In other words, you beat Qiang, if he's still ABLE to fight afterwords and he wants to, then he can.

Rankings will then be determined by who got the most number of definite victories, down to the one who lost most

>>36612221
>Rankings will then be determined by who got the most number of definite victories, down to the one who lost most
But that is essentially what I said.
Everybody fights everybody if possible and they score based on victories...

Agreed, but I feel we should hold off using it, unless we have a opening or have to. We want to disable him in the first fight.

>>36612221

how long is this supposed to go on for? Is it timed at all or can we take a day between each fight if we wished to?

>>36612221

This is one of the reasons the friendly tournament isn't very friendly at all; unscrupulous xia, knowing that they lengthen their chances of being ranked highly by injuring their opponents badly, don't hold back much, if at all.
>>36612241
Apologies then.

>>36612210
Start slow combat wise anyway

>>36612248
Are deaths common?

>>36612221
I wonder what ostentatious title they plan to bestow upon the most victorious Xia? 20 silver Taels on it involving "Greatest", "Heaven", "Phoenix" or "Dragon".

>>36612248
I knew fighting Badass McMurderrape was a bad idea, but oh well. I bet Iron Palm has all kinds of cool things we can pick up if we survive.

>>36612281
Tiger might be in there too.

>>36612281
Number One Hero of the Generation, probably. That's what this fight is, the Top Ten Young Heroes Tournament.

>>36612282
Lightning vs iron my guess his style is heavy hitting and hard blocking but not that fast(comparatively) Use it.

>>36612185
I know, but IRL I do a lot martial arts and there is no way in hell I could pick up a style's basics in a single afternoon, let alone be considered an expert on it. That's why I was asking about how we stacked up against Ai.

>>36612160
>>36612184
And to answer your question, you have no idea.
>>36612272
You're not sure, but from the description you've been given; deaths no, but serious injuries that might cripple or maim, then yes sometimes.
>>36612281

Hey Sage, do you have plans for the future once this awesome Quest is over?

A sequel, spinoff or something?

Maybe one of these settings in present time where the Wulin Society is just a bunch of old embittered people left behind by technology.
Those are always fun

>>36612087
We're starting with the most potentially dangerous opponent.
We know Iron Palm will fight to "kill"(is killing allowed in this tournament)

>>36612281
Greatest Young Hero.

>>36612281
Greatest Ascending Dragon

>>36612303
This is Wuxia. Iron Body tends to mean just that - this is a guy who can headbutt a cannonball.

In mid-flight.

DON'T GET HIT.

>>36612309
>And to answer your question, you have no idea.
Fair enough.

>>36612282
I wouldn't be surprised if they had a Ki Wave attack of some sort. I'm basically just using the sect from Condor Heroes as my general expectation.

>>36612311
>Hey Sage, do you have plans for the future once this awesome Quest is over?
God, we are so far from that point right now you have no idea. I'll think about it if we get like, even halfway done.
>>36612331
The Iron Palm Sect is a definite reference to that, yes. Including the young chief's name.

>>36612379
How far off we are for the endgame?
I remember vaguely you saying that you didn't want this quest to take too much time

>>36612399
Probs like 2% done, eh:.

Hopefully not until we find a way to call Dugu Quibai from beyond the grave and beat him in a duel.

>>36612379
By the way thanks for recommending that. I marathoned it after this quest started and you provided a link. Good stuff. Return of the Condor Heroes though... eh.

>>36612281
>20 silver Taels on it involving "Greatest", "Heaven", "Phoenix" or "Dragon".
The great dragon of heavenly phoenix?

>>36612469
Meh, I still like it. The adaption just before the most recent wasn't the best though, yeah.
Go checkout Swordsman, it's the shit.
>>36612399
I'll let you know when you actually get to the end of my synopsis for the first of the novel series, each of which has it's own title:
>Catching Lightning
>Breaking Earth
>Striking Metal
>Shifting Water
>Burning Wood

Now no more questions, I gotta post proper, heh.

>>36612558
>>Burning Wood
Caught a mistake here mate, you mean Identifying

>>36612422
Personally, I like to think that Dugu isn't dead. Oh, he was, he definitely committed suicide. But then he found that not even Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the demon guardians of the underworld, were a worthy challenge to his skills. So he beat them up, escaped to the living world, and now spends his days meditating in the mountains pursuing Daoist immortality. Because then he'd be able to visit Heaven, and maybe the war god Erlang Shen would be able to give him a proper fight.

>>36612688
>MFW I actually understood most of that

Thank you, Kylie Chan, you weird-ass Australian.

>>36612688
>Dugu Qiubai died.
>Then his Sword transcended death.
>He was not pleased.
>>36612087

As you say it, the crowd gasps and mutters at your bold claiming of the most ruthless xia there as your opponent first.

"I accept Hero Sky's challenge," Qiu Qiang shouts back, not even looking at you.

"Very well!" Yuan Shanli agrees. "Tomorrow after resting the announcements of whom fights first shall begin! Sleep well xia!"

Genshu, and Ao Zhuzheng move up to you first.

"Lord Sky, are you mad?!" the Dragon Princess says, clearly worried.

"Okay, I know I'm usually the one cracking jokes but are you serious about this?" Genshu says, no less concerned.

He is probably the best opponent to use Traversing the Instant path and Yin Yang Rotation on since he probably won't be killed by that combo. If he can defend against it that's going to be scary.

>"No choice now." [Casual]

>>36612926
I feel we will have to do some improvaizen against him.

>>36612948
Our name isn't Sousuke though.

>>36612827
It does make a form of sense, since we had to fight him anyways, we will at least be the least injured and most fresh when doing so

>>36612997
And we haven't shown all we could do in the preliminary.

I vote for whatever option is no fucks given.

>>36613039
Yeah. I wonder what the limits to Genshu's distance erasure is. Is it comparable to Form 2 in speed or is a lightning bolt still faster? It would be neat if we could figure out the theory behind it at the least.

>>36612827
>"I've got this." [Reassure]
I sort of held back in our spar Genshu.

>>36612827
>"No choice now." [Casual]

Confident Sky is, arrogant he is not.

>>36613093
He keeps showing us it. Hopefully we will understand it someday.

>>36613197
Thats just his Monk sense.

He knows where Sky is going to end up and he carefully position himselfs everytime for maximum surprise

>>36613093
As far as you can tell, it wasn't a special technique; he was just really, really fast when he stopped fucking around.
>>36613208
This is pretty much spot-on. Remember, he only did it after he figured out how Sky fought.
>>36612827

"It's done," you say flatly with a shrug.

"But Lord Sky, for your first foe to be the most dangerous one is-" Zhuzheng begins but you cut her off with a raised hand, shaking your head.

"No different then what I'd fight if I challenged him later, only now I'm not going to be wounded. He won't hold back, which means I won't need to either. Either I was always strong enough to beat him, or I was always going to die fighting him. It's just that simple." you explain, your voice totally calm.

You're in that point your father spoke of;

>"When conflict becomes inevitable, embrace it. Fear it's start if you must, fear it starting again if you've no other choice, but once it begin and becomes fated, KILL your fear. The Lightning has no fear.

>"Also, if you spill that water on the way up the mountain one more time I swear to god I'm going to kick your ass so hard people will think you're the Monkey King trying to out-jump Buddah."

You wince at the latter half of that memory.

"I did spill the water again too...," you mumble.

"What?" Zhuzheng asks, confused.

"Never mind."

>>36613253
But did the Monkey King jump?

>>36613253
"I did spill the water again too...," you mumble.

"Lord Sky, your confidence humbles me!" Ao Zhuzheng admits with a bow. "Truly my Lord Sky is as courageous as he is gallant and noble!"

When she comes up from the bow, her face is blushing slightly, and her eyes sparkling with delight.
You realize she's been calling you "her" Lord Sky since you came in here earlier tonight.

"Genshu," you say, turning towards him, deciding against correct Zhengzhu; you're pretty sure she won't listen anyway. "What can you tell me about Iron Palm Sect's martial arts styles?"

He thinks on it before answering.
"It's internal arts are extremely simple; while all styles use qi to improve the body's power and functions, Iron Palm Sect focuses almost entirely upon improving muscles, bones, and tendons rather then fancier internal techniques," he begins.

"You mean like Body Hardening skills that render body parts of xia invulnerable to harm through qi meridian manipulations?" you ask.

"Not exactly," he says, shaking his head. "Body Hardening skills have a weakness."

"The Shatterpoint, I know; though the body is made impervious by altering qi flow throughout the body upon use, Body Hardening techniques can be broken if you strike a specific meridian that disrupts then hardening as it happens, which renders the entire technique completely useless and makes the xia helpless until he can recover."

It's also why your father never taught you Body Hardening techniques; he claimed relying on a single weapon no matter how effective or refined was foolish, because breaking it left you helpless.

"So what's the difference?"

"Iron Palm's Internal Arts strengthen the body in a natural fashion, it becomes tougher, stronger, harder to hurt. A blade will cut, but is more likely to get stuck or not cut deep, bones will bruise but not break, and they become highly resistant to pain and injury even as they expend more qi keeping their bodies functional."

>>36614174
Toad Style has a fatal weakpoint

>>36614174

"Great....so he'll be even stronger then a normal xia, and he'll be impervious to pain," you mumble. You mind begins racing; there's ways to use that though, if you're clever.

"How the hell do you find if you're at new levels of accomplishment with a technique like that? How would you know if you've gotten better? What's the training like?"

"You're beaten and struck for hours on end," he says simply. "If you live, you pass."

Suddenly Qiu Qiang's attitude makes a lot more sense to you.

"What about external arts? What are they like?" you ask, scratching your chin in thought.

"That I am unsure of. While the Iron Palm Sect's brutal training methods are famous, their external arts are not, so I can't be certain what styles they do or do not have. I guess you'll get to explore new horizons for us both!" he says cheerily.

"Great. I feel lucky," you respond without amusement.

"Sky, the contestants are confined to Yuan Manor, but their sect allies are not. I could tell one of my brothers to deliver a message to you to Zhu'er and Duan Lei?"

"Nuh-uh, my men are delivering Sky's message!" Ao Zhuzheng says, suddenly childish again.

In case they're separated. We need to tell bro that his rival is a no show as was Ms.Yang in case that should be cause of worry. Zhu'er we can just give a basic update to as well as perhaps a warning about Ironheart having taken an interest in us.

>>36614467
>[Dragon Clan Delivers Letter]

>>36614787
Oh, I know he doesn't care. But this is a nice way to decline Zhuzheng's request while not insulting her. We're looking out for her reputation, not snubbing her. Yeah, that's totally what it is, not fear of her incredibly enthusiastic crush on us.

>>36614467
>[Shaolin Delivers Letter]

>>36614467

"Thanks Genshu. It works even better since your monks a neutral party, not competing in the competition," you say with a smile. He's pretty helpful sometimes when he's not annoying the hell out of you.

"But Lord Skyyyyy!" Zhuzheng says, pouting like a child.

"No way Zhuzheng. I don't trust these Yuan Clan guys one damn bit, and your pirates and guards are battle-hardened and armed fighters, so they can back us up if shit goes down. Genshu's Shaolin brothers are good fighters, but they shouldn't be involved in this any more then they have to, since they're a neutral party. Plus, I'd worry about you if it was just you, no matter how strong you are; there's a LOT more Yuan Clan then just us fighting alongside each other," you explain.

"My...Lord Sky is worried for my safety then?" she says, clearly ecstatic to hear it. Then she calms down and she's the Dragon Princess again. "Your suggestion has great merit Lord Sky. I shall order my men to stand guard and be ready for trouble!"

She dashes off to inform her men of the plan.

"That shows a surprising amount of foresight on your part, Hero Sky. I am impressed," Genshu admits.

"Yeah, I MIGHT have left out the part where there's half a chance Zhu'er might flip out and kill her guards if she finds out I'm here with Zhengzhu. They REALLY don't like each other for some reason...," you explain with a sigh.

"I know. That was what I was referring to," he says with a smile. "Amitābha, Hero Sky. I shall tell my brothers of this arrangement."

Seriously? You want dragon clan douche to deliver messages for us? The Guy that hates us? You don't mind him 'accidentally' misdelivering or other shit to get back at us?

Sadly, no. Monks don't do romance.

Brother Genshu is contractually obligated via terms of his monkhood to be the Buddah's waifu only.

Sorry Shaolin Fans!

It is and he does. It's his style name; Brother "Heartbreaker" Genshu of the Shaolin Sect.
Also known as Subtle Sex Devil Genshu.
>>36614987

You shake your head at the monk's remark, smiling as he leaves, chanting the Lotus Sutra.

You head to where your rooms are supposed to be located, and find yourself in a lavishly decorated bedroom that seems even nicer then the wealthy inn you were staying at, shaking your head at the opulence.

"I might get a better rest if I slept on the damn floor...," you mumble, removing your sword from your back and keeping it in hand as you plop down onto your bed and close your eyes.

Sleep eludes you at first, so you begin practicing Heaven's Blessings until you're too tired to continue; you want to be in peak form tomorrow, and if you train hard enough you might be able to gain a slight edge.

You wake up in the morning, completely refreshed and even excited for the fight ahead, dressing quickly and getting a brief breakfast; it's not good to fight on a full stomach!

You meet up with Brother Genshu (your message, written last night arrived safely) and Ao Zhuzheng, traveling outside to the lèi tái platform in the Center of Chendu, where already a crowd has gathered and is cheering.

Once again, Yuan Shanli amplifies his voice with his internal energy and makes his speech:

>"PEOPLE OF SICHUAN, CITIZENS OF CHENGDU, XIA OF THE JIANGHU! TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE MIGHTIEST AND MOST GLORIOUS OF OUR YOUNG HEROES!
>"THE ANCIENT WAYS, TRIAL BY COMBAT, SHALL DECIDE WHICH AMONG THEM IS THE GREATEST AND MOST WORTHY OF THEM, AND HOW THEY SHALL PLACE IN THE TOP TEN!
>TO BEGIN THE MATCHES TODAY FOR YOUR PLEASURE FIGHTING IS THE MYSTERIOUS TIANKONG, CALLED SKY, WHO'S SKILL BELONGS TO NO SECT OR FACTION! HE SHALL BE FIGHTING THE MIGHTY QIU QIANG, YOUNG CHIEF OF THE IRON PALM SECT!"

"Why am I not surprised?" you mutter as the crowd looses it's mind.

>"XIA! STEP ONTO THE LEI TAI!"

You hop up to the 4-foot high platform in a single leap and you turn, robe and hair blowing in the wind, to spot Duan Lei and Zhu'er, nodding to them with a grin.

"Princess!" you call behind you taking out her hairpin from your belt and tossing it to her without looking behind you, and you somehow know she catches it without seeing it happen.

"Hold onto that. I'm gonna want it back later," you say simply, walking towards the center of the arena.

>>36615812
>"Hold onto that. I'm gonna want it back later,"
sniff... already mastering the way of the pimp, i am so proud

>>36615812
Meanwhile Zhu'er has just mastered a way to kill a man with a stare. Fortunately Sky's internal reserves are enough that he isn't effected.

>>36615812

You walk up to near the center of the platform and crack your neck.

>"XIA! CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS!"

"I choose my hands. I need nothing else," Qiang says, raising one and cracking his knuckles without even using his other hand.

"I'm cool with that," you agree.
Because honestly, you don't want to give this guy access to MORE ways to kill your ass.

>"XIA....!"

You slide into a stance, and Qiang mirrors the action with one of his own.

>"BEGIN!"

>WDYD?

>Move up, start your offensive!

>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!

>Form Two: Traverse the Instant Path!

>>36615971
If Sky keeps that up he just might be able to train up Zhu'er as the dark horse who wins the tournament.

>>36616002
>Form Two: Traverse the Instant Path!
Let's try and grab that momentum shall we?

>>36616002
>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!
Let's start with a hard hit, surprise him

>>36616002
>>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!

>>36616002
>>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!

>>36616029
You know.. shock him

>>36616002
>>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!
A shocker start to tha match!

>>36616002
>>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!

>>36616002
>Move up, start your offensive!

Let's keep our trumps in reserve.

>>36616002
>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!

>>36616002
>Form One: Yin-Yang Rotation!

>>36616059
Thats whar i would agree with

>>36616002
>Move up, start your offensive!

>>36616002
>>Move up, start your offensive!
I want to test the waters

>>36616002
>Move up, start your offensive!
Let's see what's what.

>>36616002
We play on the defensive! Be careful and watch him.
>>36616059
Pretty much this.

>>36616002
>>36616056
changing to
>Move up, start your offensive!

Remember what Genshu said. The longer the fight drags on, the more it favours us as we learn and adapt to our opponent. Start slow, and learn his style, surprise him later.

>>36616002

Torn between rotation and offensive, if we hold back we might die, but trump card might showed too much

>>36616002
>>36616029
This man >>36616059 makes a good point, I change my vote to
>Move up, start your offensive!

>>36616154
If things start to get hairy we can start using lightning techniques.

>>36616148
If we die in an instant we would never make it anyway. We need to play our strenght

>>36616002
>Move up, start your offensive!
Start by testing his durability. We'll get a better sense of how much force we need to hurt him. Also, if we can get him thinking our blows are useless, hitting him with Yin-Yang Rotation will be a nasty surprise. I'm not sure his Iron Body technique can protect against electricity. Might as well let him think blocking is better than dodging.

Man and this is a golden opportunity for a surprise attack via form 2. Once people know we can use lightning it won't be nearly as effective. But if we aren't capitalizing on an instantaneous surprise attack I'll switch my vote >>36616028 to

>>36616002
>Move up, start your offensive!

>>36616177
That'll probably be when he uses his own internal techniques, since we can't hit him otherwise.

>>36616002
>Move up, start your offensive!

>>36616002
>Move up, start your offensive!

>>36616218
Lightning interrupts his breathing, which interrupts his qi, which means he won't be able to use his own internal stuff.

We're basically made to destroy xia.

Narratively, trump cards you pull out to save your ass work better than tools you use as a matter of course.

>>36616214
He is still expecting a attack right now. It wold be more effective to disrupt his rythm later. We are aiming for a winning strike.

>>36616256
Huh. I never made that connection.

>>36616266
there's also the fact that Sky's external arts are literally directly improved by fighting more people and styles, not just in the way things normally improve through practice, making the use of his forms a loss of a learning opportunity.

>>36616148
1) he is the toughest opponenet
2) our stated reason for being here is to show off our ability and hope someone recognizes it and approaches us

>>36616256

punching like a car crash also interrupt many breathing at once

>Move up, start your offensive!

>>36616002
you know, against MOST people I would not want to use form one, since it hurts, but he is one of the rare exceptions

>>36616352
Man we'll get there, it's not like we'll go down in one punch.
R-right guys?[/spoilers]

>>36616146
that is an interesting point. can we not use form 2 to put distance between us and super dodge?

that being said, with his superhuman enhancements he might be the exception to "the longer it lasts the better off sky is"

>>36616352
Anon, we are probably going to end up using our lightning fists, but right now we are testing the waters to see what we can learn. Plus, it is unsporting to start with our strongest moves.

Hope it's not too late to say start with a punches and work up to special techniques later after we learn something from him....

>>36616352
It's still important to use suprise to our advantage right now. It's the only fight we can do it. And if we might stop him from killing anyone.

>>36616256
That...is a very good point. No wonder Ba described the style as being the "judgement of Heaven". He wasn't just being poetic, Heaven's Blessing is explicitly designed to disable and kill xia. It's what you'd use if you were trying to bring justice to a corrupt xia. That fits with him being so firm about the jianghu and secular world not intermixing. He's seen what horrible things can happen as a result, and even built his style around being able to stop it.

>>36616430
Overthinking.jpg

>>36616300
Based on the tutorial, the only real time it's viable as an attack is before an opponent is moving about. Using it the instant the match starts is its only real window of opportunity after that the opponent will be moving about and more likely to dodge if they're a skilled Xia.

>>36616408
Form 2 as a defense is less "Dodge" and more "GTFO" once we start we're on a straight path till we stop and it's too taxing to use too often. A good desperation move to get out of the way though and begin a full retreat.

>>36616481
>Based on the tutorial, the only real time it's viable as an attack is before an opponent is moving about. Using it the instant the match starts is its only real window of opportunity after that the opponent will be moving about and more likely to dodge if they're a skilled Xia.
that is a good point. form 2 is a use it or lose it kinda thing.

>>36616481
Eh, if we start getting our ass kicked we can Traverse away and then when he starts moving for us Yin-Yang him during his charge. Yeah, he'll be moving... but in a straight line toward us.

>>36616430
And not to mention the "Strike without remorse" (or something like that) thing Sifu kept going on about. If Sky is to become an enforcer/executioner of xia, he has to be prepared for the fact that he might have to attack his friends.

Remember, while the longer Sky fights helps his external style adapt, the more he uses his Heaven's Blessings the more he exhausts his qi. He must strike a balance between these things, depending on his needs.
>>36616002

You both move in at the same time, the boards quaking as you bolt for each other!

Your speed is slightly greater then his, and your fist lands against his left-block first, and you manage to parry aside his right strike less then a second after you throw yours!
His punches are HEAVY like his bones are made out of lead!

You pull back slightly at the same time he does, his left punch knocked aside by your right kick as you suddenly switch to a leg form, and when your leg lands after the strike you pivot on it, turning into a reverse-kick that you put all your might into, slamming your foot right into his diaphragm, knocking him back!

You pivot back to face him, see he's still standing, and throw another right punch, which he catches aside with a RIGHT-handed palm slap before THRUSTING forward with his right shoulder immediately afterward, slamming to your chest!

You go flying back from the incredible impact force, head over heels through the air, catching yourself just barely and sliding along the platform over 8 feet away from where he struck you!

You hold onto your chest, trying to catch your breath as Qiang smirks, making a "come at me, fool" motion with his left hand.

>WDYD?

>Try again! Won't work a second time!

>>36616550
>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!

>>36616550
He is still in low power mode. Let's see what we can do without breaking out any big guns for now. Perhaps we can find a chink in his armor.

>>36616550
>>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!

>>36616550
>Spoiler
question, does form 2 exhaust qi more than form 1?

>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!

>>36616550
>Try again! Won't work a second time!

>>36616612
Low power mode helps us not him. He is not taking us seriously, just look at his act.

>>36616616
No, they use an effectively identical amount of qi; the method used is nearly identical, except instead of releasing the energy into a blow you you use it to boost your speed for a split-second.

>>36616550
>Try again! Won't work a second time!

>>36616616
That's what has been indicated from our use of it so far.

>Try again! Won't work a second time!

>>36616639
that is a good point

>>36616639
Exactly, so since he is low power right now we should exploit that and not use any draining forms.

But eh, the majority wants to break out the trump cards because he put a shoulder into us, so whatever.

>>36616550
>Try again
This time with more studying his movements. We can use this to extrapolate somewhat.

changing this vote >>36616616
to >>36616675
I was going to delete, but then I noticed author response to the question I asked.

It's worth overdoing.

>>36616550

>>36616550
Whatever else we do, we should give a little grin. he thinks we're some pathetic fool to beat down. So smile. Thank him for the experience. Treat him as if this match is just a spar, not a serious fight. Make this the most annoying fight he's ever been in.

>>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!

>>36616730
>wanting to give him more reasons to beat us savagely if we lose

>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!

>>36616677
I do agree I voted for the trumps, but we also need to choose the moment to act. We got hurt, but made him confident, getting more hurt will drain energy too. Attacking now while he is overconfident, and we are not badly hurt.

We need to balance learning from him with minimizing our damage. When we bust out Heaven's Blessing it will ideally be before we've taken enough damage to weaken or slow our blows but after we've gotten him to use his own Internal Arts.

>>36616550
>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!

>>36616550
>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!
And we have to remember to not get over confident after landing form one.

>>36616782
how about we learn from the people not trying to seriously injure or kill us? Pretty much every single other fighter here is friendly enough to keep from anything serious. Every other one. We have options for our learning fights. We don't need to take our risks here and make them even bigger. Deathwishfags pls go home.

>>36616847
And honestly, it's not even a huge deal if we lose one out of ten fights - all against ringers, at that.

>>36616782
We got completely trounced and damaged in the first exhange, that's fine because we were trading damage for a opening. We are not badly hurt, he giving us a opening, because he thinks we can't hurt him. It's now more damage is counter our goal.

>>36616847
Then y'all should have voted to pop his diaphragm out his mouth with Form 2 and followed that up with a Form 1 to the nuts.

>>36616847
>Implying every single one of these fights won't have some chance of serious maiming.

>>36616890
or, instead of being retarded, we'd use form 1 to stun him and form 2 to ring him out.

>>36616931
>Form 2 is designed for opening blitz strikes. Using it as intended is retarded we should totally try to hit him with the slower attack then use the distance closer after we've already closed the distance.

Ya huh, sure buddy.

>>36616987
Ah, so you're one of the morons voting for normal attacks even when they're obvious not working.

>>36617012

Not him, but I vote external attacks to gauge his power. Clearly, we need to bring out one of our guns to wound him.

>>36617012
I'm reminded of another quest I used to participate in where we had an apocalypse weapon in reserve, and every time a NPC insulted us or shot at us or anything there would be people saying we should use it.

>>36617067
Being as retarded as you are is definitely a burden.

>Move in and pretend you're going like before, but use Form One!

>>36616730
I don't want to annoy him, that is pointlessly making an enemy.
I want to befriend him through worthy combat

>>36616550

"Ow," you grunt, holding your ribs.
Just before impact you pushed back with Lightfoot, trying to dodge, but his blow still landed. It's why you went back so far; you were just slightly in mid-air when he hit you.

You realize if you HADN'T been in the air your braced legs would've caused you to catch the full impact of that shoulder thrust into the center of your torso.

You would've been killed instantly.

"Okay...faster then he looks, and he hits HARD...," you mutter. And he took that full-force back-kick to the guts without even flinching or slowing down.

He still stands, ready for your next move as you drown out the crowd.

You rush up again, kicking off with your Lightfoot, flying through the air and landing a heavy right kick which he blocks with his left arm! You spin as you fall to your feet, throwing a left kick in mid-spin as you land, which he blocks left, slowly advancing to strike again!

He throws a rapid series of punches, which you skate back away from, flowing lightly across the ground like a mist over water!

His final punch you duck low, past waist level, spinning upwards inside his reach into an overhead right hook!

And you...

>FOCUS!
>Center Yourself!
>Seperate the Yin and Yang!
>Feel the Force build!
>Direct to The Limb!

There is a sound like distant thunder, and cobalt flame and lighting flashes up your arm towards your fist as you throw the blow!

"Surprise, ASSHOLE!" you say just before the impact, and the sound of thunder rings out again as your fist connects with his just-barely raised blocking right!

"GYYYAAARGH!' he grunts in agony as he spasms, from shock and you take the initiative, striking his chin with a left jab, a right hook to his abdomen, then spinning into a turning mid-air kick right into his chest!

>>36617116
DO NOT STOP! KICK HIM MORE!

>>36617116
Must have hurt pretty good if a guy whose internals dull his sense of pain screams in agony.

>>36617116

The crowd is shocked into silence as Qiang is pushed back, and this time HE'S the one on one knee, clutching his chest!

You take up a defensive stance, and mimic his earlier movement with a smirk, using your right hand instead of your left like he did.

He breaths heavily, blood trickling down from his mouth and then does something you haven't seen him do yet; he smiles at you.

He then gets up and rushes you!

>WDYD?

>Defense, keep out of his reach!

>Surprise him again with Form One!

>>36617243
>>Defense, keep out of his reach!

I wonder if we will discover form 3 during this battle.

>>36617243
>>36617243
Damn we lost the momentum of which we sorely needed to beat this guy.

>Defense, keep out of his reach!

Wait till we can find an opening then strike once more.

>>36617243
>>Defense, keep out of his reach!
Probably best to not get hit by whatever he has in mind now....

>>36617243
>Defense, keep out of his reach!

>>36617243
>Defense, keep out of his reach!

>>36617243
>Defense, keep out of his reach!
I guess he's never dealt with elemental attacks before? Just raw physical damage. This is probably the first time he's been actually hurt since the duel with his father.

>>36617294
I think form 3 is launching someone away from us the same way we launch ourselves away from the ground. Form Three: HEAVEN THUNDER HAMMER

>>36617243
>>REALLY surprise him with Form Two!

>>36617340
>I guess he's never dealt with elemental attacks before?
Why would you guess this? just because he isn't 100% immune to it?
keep in mind that most people would die from what we just hit him with. And that lightening is a super rare element

>>36617243
>REALLY surprise him with Form Two!

>>36617243
>Defense, keep out of his reach!

>>36617243
Guys. I really think that the Form Two option means going head to head and attacking again... not using it to run away.

Just saying.

We probably don't want to experience getting rekt by the followup this guy is about to pull out.

>>36617243
>Defense, keep out of his reach!

>>36617243
>Defense, keep out of his reach!

>>36617243
>>REALLY surprise him with Form Two!
Guys, this is what form 2 is designed for, he's not in a stance waiting for us to approach, he's attacking, and therefore unprepared for a full out assault.

>>36617397
I know, I want him to rush his face into our fist.

>>36617243
>Defense, keep out of his reach!

>>REALLY surprise him with Form Two!

>>36617243
>Form 2 Assisted close into chain punch to general face area.

At this point we are ahead. We should try to just wear him out now.
Although he might later try to trick us with looking much more tired than he is, so we should also act more tired than we are.

>>36617677
>we have the advantage!
>let's squander it instead of going for a killing blow

>>36617689
How to be overconfident 101

>>36617696
Yes, you are.

>>36617677
He is rushing us, and he has abandoned his defenses, He is ripe for a counter punch he wouldn't expect, as we can close him faster then him.

You leap back just as he leaps forward, right palm pulled back, and you realize your mistake almost the second before he shouts;

>"IRON PALM: AVALANCHE SHATTERING BLOW!"

You dodge JUST BARELY out of the way as he thrusts his right palm forward, and what seems like a DOZEN or so qi projectile in palm form fly out, scattering like an avalanche from a mountain, striking at all angles!

" Muscle and bone reinforcement only MY ASS!" you grumble as you leap away as one falls where you stood, exploding with the force of his actual palm strike upon the ground, and you are forced to weave and dodge out of the way of every strike, barely able to keep up a proper defense as each palm-double lands on the lei tai, causing splinters and planks to erupt upon impact!

"God DAMMIT!" you grunt as one goes right past you face, exploding just behind you as you stop and catch yourself before you fly into it!

Sawdust clouds cover your field of vision, and you cough, before it hits you.

"Wait...where's the real-?" you wonder, then his massive form explodes free of the sawdust cloud into a vicious palm strike!

>"IRON PALM! AVALANCHE CONCEALMENT!"

>>36617731
Mmmmm maybe, but i can't help but getting a feel that he has something terrifying up his sleeve which we will be punished for by not being patient.

maybe. but that doesn't make it a more legitimate move then defensively dodging him and studying his style more

Lightning Flash-Step to his back, and kick him off the platform! Don't strike to wound; strike to PUSH.

Falling off the lei tai is a loss too.

>>36617243
>>36617578
After thinking for half a sec, maybe we should keep our guard up and then just sacrifice throw him.
He's bigger and heavier than us and has momentum. Let's make it work to our advantage.

>>36617758
I noticed a pattern of people yelling out the names of their attacks.

>>36617798
Wuxia much, Grasshoppa?

So! About that instant Path...think we might need to use it right now and dodge into the cloud?

>>36617906
Actually, how high up would we go if we used Form 2 to ascend? Might be a good desperation move later on, especially if we grapple someone before hand.

>>36617758
I'mma still say sacrifice throw him, assuming he's going for a physical assault and not crazy qi blasts at the moment.

If qi, use our superior mobility to find another angle of attack. Maybe work in the sawdust cloud somehow. No sense in -not- using the environment to our advantage, and if we can hoist him by his own petard all the better.

>>36617758
So when do we get our projectile? Also, we need an anti-air uppercut.

>>36617793
Didn't it say in the rules that the fight continues until either one of us gives up or can't fight?

I think he would just, you know, get back on the platform if we did that.

>>36617970
IIRC that means losing a match doesn't equal elimination. They can still fight more matches. Doesn't mean that every match is KO or nothing.

>>36617948
The point of the dust cloud is we won't be able to tell before its too late to avoid the blow.

>>36617946
now that is a good idea.
or, jump up with them and then piledive them from high up in the air.

>>36618005
yea, even if it misses, it is still useful

>>36617758

The crowd gasps in shock!

The sawdust cloud clears, and it shows the both of you: his palm is out-stretched, and you're inside his guard again, fist in his stomach, hard enough to stop a bull when added with his own momentum!

"Nice trick...but faking me out isn't going to work," you advise.

".....Noted!" he grunts and then moves DESPITE your deep-gut blow!

>"Jade Tiger Seals Diaphragm!"

"Shit!" you say as you pull back as he goes into an attack routine, which you barely block and dodge, as somehow he keeps moving!

"I though you learned ONCE," he says as you parry a right hook duck a left, and dodge a palm-thrust,"you should NEVER get within my reach!"

You throw a right hook, see him parry with his right hand again...and THIS time you see that shoulder-thrust coming!

You spin to the left as you go around it, pulling back an elbow blow as he moves past and you SLAM it right into the back of his neck with all the force you can muster with your full body weight behind it!

He staggers forward, and you spin to face his back as he falls onto one knee!

The trick is sealing their ability to mitigate the fall while retaining our ability to use Lightfoot style and bound away in time.

>>36618033

You hold yourself for a second, catching your breath...and then he gets up, turning towards you, cracking his neck.

>"Jade Tiger Straightens Spine!"

he says, closing one nostril with his thumb and blowing blood out of the other with a short heave of his lungs!

You stare, mouth agape; that blow should've given him a major concussion, cracked his spine, even broken his neck, something, ANYTHING other then just...giving him a bloody nose!

>WDYD?

>Defensive again! Can't get too close to this guy!

>>36612883
WHAT IS THIS?

>>36618033
Am I the only one who wants to plant a foot on his back and/or ass and nudge him out of the ring depending on where we are right now?
Sure, it's probably not a win on our part, but it is pretty humiliating AND entertaining for the crowd.
Then again, I guess we don't want to give him more reason to kill us.

>Defensive again! Can't get too close to this guy!

>>36618122
At this point, it appears that nothing we have other than Yin-Yang will put this guy down for the count.

>Try something risky: test the limits of that resistance of his and the limits of your stamina! [Yin-Yang Rotation...three times in a row.]

>>36618122
For clarification, is the first option using three separate attacks with Yin-Yang Rotation, or performing the charging three times and then delivering them all at once?

>>36618122

>>Try something risky: test the limits of that resistance of his and the limits of your stamina! [Yin-Yang Rotation...three times in a row.]
Tired of the people deliberately trying to lose this fight by never using our abilities.

Let's get our other limbs in on this

>>36618122
>>Try something risky: test the limits of that resistance of his and the limits of your stamina! [Yin-Yang Rotation...three times in a row.]

>>36618169
Effectively the same thing.
The "charging" is a nearly instantaneous process.
