Chapter 360 - Daughters Encouragement (2/2)
Nik muttered out loud before while looking towards Ning'er, ”In a situation like this, you use the opponent's force against them,” Nik shot towards Yunfeng who kept on collecting spiritual energy within his mouth, forcing the man to punch out and get his arm clasped and his body rotated in the air and smacked into the ground.
”Now, you have two options,” Nik continued leisurely and punched at Yunfeng's face squarely, making the incomplete attack dissipate. Yunfeng, though strong, was inexperienced in using such a time-consuming attack against Nik.
”You can land a blow on the opponent's face, or his or her crotch. It is painful for both genders.”
Nik replied as everyone gulped before Nik raised his leg high, ”And then you make sure that your opponent does not get the time to regain his bearings,” Nik's leg moved down instantly, the tattoo on Yunfeng's face shown before he struck his fist out.
*Bang*
With Yunfeng punching out bare of any form, Nik quickly removed the obstacle Yunfeng's punch proved to be, but it gave Yunfeng enough to time to mobilize his wings, and they folded up to slice Nik's leg when he propelled himself on Yunfeng's fist, ”And always remain on the opponent to keep him stressed,” he grinned before jumping and pocketing his hands before straightening his legs and shooting straight over Yunfeng's body.
”Kuaah!”
Yunfeng let out a pained cry as his body bent upwards from impact; for a moment, his consciousness slipped as blood touched his mouth.
The others spectating the match shivered. Nik's attacks were unorthodox and cruel.
The reflection of Yunfeng's bloodied face streaked within Ning'er's pupils as it brought a wave of recollection. Her first time getting the highest score, her first time asking her father to beat up a boy, her first time flying, her first time cooking...
And her first loss ever.
The loss of her mother.”
”Father...”
Ning'er whispered as her nose soured, and her eyes felt warm. As much helpless, her father remained in the face of certain events; she was the first to lose her hope on her father. If she could just...
Hope.
Believe in Yunfeng once again, Belief in his words and his back that could hold anything for her.
If she could just...
With her palms clenching each other before Nik raised his legs to smack Yunfeng's face again, Ning'er yelled. Her voice crackling and her face marred with tears!
”Papa! You can do it!!”
A single shout full of hope made Yunfeng's consciousness bang, and with a feral growl, he swiped his legs and propelled himself while his legs barely reaching Nik's chin in a failed attempt to knock him out.
But what did Yunfeng's actions achieved was him being able to pull some distance from Nik, and with indignation and relief coursing throughout his body, Yunfeng roared out, ”Your classes end here, Nik. We fight serious now.”
While Nik was tempted to point out the irony that he never took easy on his opponents, he decided to give his student's father respect that he would need to nurture her daughter with.
From the very beginning, this challenge wasn't about mission or Yunfeng. It was always about Ning'er.
