32 Training Tang Bai (1/2)

Both Silver and Tang Bai stood on the platform, carefully checking each other out. Silver could instantly tell that his opponent was quite strong for his age, stronger than Chu Feng who fought Fu Wonton earlier. Out of all the participants of this annual tournament, Tang Bai was definitely the strongest out of them. However, this didn't necessarily affect Silver at all.

Even if Tang Bai had reached the early-stage of [Primal Source Realm] during battle, who was currently at Nature Form, Silver wouldn't even bother trying. He thought about giving up before the fight, but he noticed his opponent's battle-crazed eyes.

A thirst to battle, to experience a fight with those stronger than them. Without a second thought, Silver came to a firm decision to give Tang Bai a decent battle. He at least owed Tang Bai this much for joining the annual tournament.

”Do you use weapons?” asked Tang Bai once he got close enough for Silver to hear.

”If not, I can use techniques too.”

”I do, but I hope you won't feel insulted,” smiled Silver as he took a six foot wooden staff out of his storage ring.

Tang Bai felt startled by Silver's choice of weapon but nodded anyways. He took out two high quality, black steel twin longswords from his storage ring, holding it with both hands. For some reason, his instincts told him that his opponent was not to be taken lightly. It was best to fight with all of his abilities.

”Eh? That blacked masked Silver took out a wooden staff. He's crazy to go against Young Master Bai's black steel twin longswords!” exclaimed one of the Tang Clan's young member.

”Who raised this foolish child?” added another Tang Clan member.

”Can't believe Tang Bai will get an easy win like this! Hahahaha!”

”Everyone knows Tang Bai is only serious when he uses his black steel twin longswords! Maybe this Silver is stronger than we think.”

”Hmph. Our Young Master Bai must be overestimating his opponent.”

Although the Tang Clan's elder didn't say anything, they didn't refute their younger clansmen either. With all honesty, they were quite confused on why Tang Bai would use his twinswordsbefore the battle. Maybe he could sense something from Silver, since they couldn't sense him from the stadium.

Kong Galbi overheard their rude comments, controlling his anger from strangling the younger generation of the Tang Clan. He too, was surprised that his son took out a wooden staff but it didn't mean he wanted to hear these ignorant buffoons slander his only son.

Kong Galbi and his wife, Kong Nori, attentively watched as the battle had already commenced.

'Cross Form!'

With a quick swing of his right and left sword, forming an X, Tang Bai slashed towards Silver's head.

Smiling at the incoming attack, Silver lightly spun his wooden staff, instantly knocking against the tip of both blades simultaneously. After knocking the blades, he quickly thrusted his wooden staff against the small opening he created, jabbing towards Tang Bai's chest in the process.

However, Tang Bai's keen senses follow pursuit, backing away from the quick jab. After dodging, he switched to a lower posture, using his next twin sword technique, 'Sweeping the Grass', aiming for Silver's legs. With his left sword performing 'Sweeping the Grass', his right sword swung upwards with 'Rising Sparrow'.

Taking half a step back, Silver dodged Tang Bai's 'Sweeping the Grass' by a hair's width, while holding his wooden staff with both hands, diagonally, he flicked the bottom portion up. Thus, the staff accurately smacked against the spine of the black steel longsword, deflecting the sword away from his face.

Soon after, he brought down the top portion of his staff, quickly changing his hand positioning, ready to smack Tang Bai's unprotected head.

Quickly shifting his weight, Tang Bai was able to deflect the incoming attack using 'Rising Sparrow' with his right sword, instantly rolling away from Silver within a safe distance. His whole body was already drenched with sweat. Although it seem like they took time to fight, they already made a few moves within seconds into the battle.

'Luckily, I was cautious and brought out my twinswords,' thought Tang Bai strategizing his next moves.

'This guy has no openings, his defense is impenetrable. Even that Fu Wonton defense seem like child's play compare to this guy!'

”You're techniques aren't bad,” praised Silver aloud.

He truly felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. Tang Bai's Sword Intent was close to forming. With a little bit more pressure, he would be able to reach the first level of the Sword Intent, Sharpening.

”You didn't use any flashy moves. Each attack is well-practiced and I can see the efforts of your training.”

”I can't say the same for you, senior. Your defense is impenetrable, I can't find even the smallest opening. I can say you that you're at least second or third level with your wooden staff. But it seems you handle it differently than what a natural staff user would,” chuckled Tang Bai as he recalled the techniques Silver used.

”What is your preferred weapon of choice?”

”Hahaha, you have great observation skills! My weapon of choice is the halberd! I couldn't find a decent one so I bought this wooden staff as a substitute. Would you like to continue?”
