Ah Chun: Ascending The Heavens 250 Sect Tournament Part Four

Ah Chun's next opponent was a young man who was around seventeen years old. He felt a little bitter about having to face a girl who was no more than seven or eight years old. But he would not look down on her because he had seen her previous match. It was just that the size difference between the two was like a Wind Chasing Tiger standing in front of an Earth Burrow Mouse. What was worse was the girl looked like how his baby sister did when she was younger minus the horns, tail, and scales, of course. Letting out a sigh he took out his sword. Since he already knew the little girl was a tough opponent. 

"Little girl I am not looking down on you but I would prefer if you surrendered I do not want to fight with a little girl..." He figured the girl would not give up seeing her arrogant att.i.tude earlier but he still wanted to try.

Ah Chun could tell that the young man was not belittling her and really did not want to fight her because of her age. Because of this, she would not hold back against him! "I'm sorry I can not surrender but because you are not looking down on me I will use my full strength to fight you with." 

"Since that is the case I will not hold back either. Let the best martial artist win!" The young man was an upright man. He could tell that Ah Chun was not as arrogant as he had thought. It seemed she was only arrogant to those who underestimated her.

The fight began and the young man did not move right away. He was sizing Ah Chun up to see what kind of move she would make. Ah Chun was surprised that the young man did not charge right at her. This made the corners of her lips curl up as she tapped the wooden sword on her shoulder. It seemed she was leaving herself wide open and was full of confidence but for those elders watching they could tell that Ah Chun was very much guarded even though it did not look like it. 

The young man frowned seeing how seemingly open Ah Chun was. He felt like she was just playing around. He could not help but ask: "Did you not say you would use all your strength? Why are you just standing there unguarded?" 

Ah Chun smiled and replied: "Whether I am unguarded or not has yet to be seen. If you think I am unguarded then please go ahead and attack. I will give you five breaths of time to make your choice." 

The young man was a little shaken by this. Ah Chun's confidence was causing him to waver. He had watched the last fight and knew that even with that dull wooden sword she can still slice someone clean to the bone as if the sword in her hand was not made out of wood at all! Sucking in a deep breath the young man readied himself. Since she was going to attack if he waited then he would let her attack him first! 

Seeing that the young man was going to wait for her to attack him Ah Chun did not mind. But she knew the young man would probably regret it. Ah Chun jumped up and down a few times on her little toes and charged forward. She had found because of the scales on her feet she did not need to wear shoes anymore which allowed her to have a bit more mobility.

 The young man was stunned by Ah Chun's speed. It was no time at all that she appeared next to the young man swinging her sword at his waist. The young man was still quick and brought his sword down to block the attack but what he did not expect was that Ah Chun would twirl her body around to his other side all the while using her sword to push his sword up into the air causing his grip to loosen and before he knew what was happening she had made her way to his back using both her foot and tail she attacked simultaneously sending the young man flying right off the stage. 

Ah Chun decided not to toy with the young man since he was an upright individual and used a strong attack to send him flying. In order to make sure he did not hurt himself with his own sword she sent the tip of the sword into the air above his head so when he was sent flying the sword was pointing up over his head. The young man landed on his stomach with his arms stretched out over his head. If his sword had continued to be pointing down when she kicked him he might have stabbed himself by accident which is something Ah Chun did not want to happen.

Up in the viewing area, the Sect Master could not help but applaud Ah Chun's move. He could tell that she would respect her opponent if they respected her. She did so not show it through words but through her actions. Otherwise, that young man could have gotten hurt.

Ah Chun walked over to the side of the stage and looked down at the young man who was still in a daze as to what had happened. "Are you okay?" 

The young man heard Ah Chun's voice which snapped him back to reality and let out a bitter laugh. "It seems I still have much to learn. Thank you for going easy on me." 

Ah Chun smiled and replied. "You showed me respect. I will also do the same for you. Thank you for the match."

The one overseeing the match raised his hand and said: "Winner, stage one Ah Chun!"
