In the blink of an eye, Huo Dou and Yang Guo had circled around the hall three times; Huo Dou could see that his opponentâs lightness kung fu was terrific, if he continued to follow and chase him like this, he might lose. He suddenly turned around, his left palm came out in front of him to grab the oar handle, the fan in his right hand came out to seal the âLooping Jumpâ pressure point of the side of his leg.
However Yang Guo did not want to meet him face on, he swerved his body around the fan and kept on hitting out with the oar handle, calling out, âFather wants to spank you! A day doesnât go past without three spanks, I have spanked you twice, thereâs one more!â To use such a method to ridicule your opponent in battle without danger, your kung fu must be a lot better than the opponentâs in all areas. Although Yang Guo had learned many advanced martial arts, his kung fu still could not compare with Huo Douâs; acting like this would definitely result in trouble. However, the crowd was watching with passion, they all cheered, called out, and they applauded to urge him on.
When Huo Dou heard this, his mind was disturbed; if his backside is struck once more by this child in front of these people, even if he killed this boy, he still will have lost a lot of face. Because of this he concentrated on dodging and evading and forgot about attacking; Yang Guo was able to avoid danger for now.
By now, Huang Rong could tell that an eminent master had instructed Yang Guo, his kung fu really was terrific. She also remembered the day when he passed on his internal energy to her to help her recuperate; the internal energy he had developed was not ordinary. She thought that by allowing him to stir up trouble for a while, attention had actually been drawn away from the two defeats, so she called out, âGuoâer, go and fight him, I donât think heâs your match.â
Yang Guo stuck his tongue out at Huo Dou and said, âDo you dare?â He stood still and pointed to his nose.
Although Huo Dou was furious, he couldnât allow a little thing like this get in the way of the mission. Their side had now won two rounds; they have taken the position of Chancellor of Wulin. Why should he get involved with a little kid? He said, âLittle bastard, Iâll take my time in teaching you a lesson. Right now, the Chancellor of Wulin Jinlun Fawang will say a few words, everyone listen to his orders.â
All the heroes made a hue and cry, disagreeing, clamoring and shouting.
Huo Dou said loudly, âWe agreed before hand, two wins out of three. Doesnât your word count?â
All these heroes are famous people of the Jianghu world, they all knew what his words meant, he wanted them to go back on their words, this would never happen; but they had lost the last two rounds in a unjust way. The first round they lost due to an ambush, in the second, only the weapon was broken, they havenât really lost that round yet, and it was difficult for them to accept that justice was done. When Huo Dou asked them this question, they didnât have a reply.
Yang Guo said, âLook at that old monk, look how tall and skinny he is, he looks weird, how can he be the Chancellor of Wulin? I donât think heâs worthy.â
Huo Dou angrily said, âWhoâs the Master of this child? Take a control of him. If he continues to cause trouble, I wonât hold back.â
Yang Guo said, âMy Master is worthy to take the position of the Chancellor of Wulin, what skill does your master have?â
Huo Dou said, âWho is your Master? Please invite them out.â He saw Yang Guoâs martial arts werenât ordinary; he assumed that his master must be a skilled fighter so he used the word âpleaseâ in his sentence.â
Yang Guo said, âToday, the disciples are representing their masters to fight for the position of Chancellor of Wulin, isnât that it?â
Huo Dou said, âCorrect, our side has won two of the three rounds, because of this, my Master is the Chancellor of Wulin.â
Yang Guo said, âFine, even if you beat them all, so what? You wonât be able to beat my Masterâs disciple.â
Huo Dou asked, âWho is you Masterâs disciple?â
Yang Guo laughed and said, âDonkey! My Masterâs disciple is of course me.â The crowd listened to his words with amusement and broke out in laughter. Yang Guo said, âWeâll compete for another three rounds, if you can win two rounds out of the three, Iâll recognize that monk as the Chancellor of Wulin. If I win two rounds, then sorry, the position of the Chancellor of Wulin goes to my Master.â
When the crowd heard him say this, they all thought, âCould it be that this boyâs master is some eminent master, and has come here to challenge the position of Chancellor of Wulin with Hong Qigong and Jinlun Fawang? They didnât care who the master of this boy was; at least they are Han. The young man cannot beat Huo Dou; however victory to the Mongols will allow them to take the position of Chancellor. Our side has already been defeated, a new complication might bring about a reversal of fortunes so they all said, âCorrect, I agree, only if you Mongols gain another two victories.â âThat young brother is correct.â âThe central plains have many great fighters, you were lucky in gaining those two rounds. Who cares about that?â
Huo Dou pondered, âThe opponentâs two strongest fighters have already lost, whatâs there to be afraid of in fighting two more rounds? Iâm only afraid that after two comes another two.â He said to Yang Guo, âYour Master has a right to challenge for the position of the Chancellor of Wulin, however, there are thousands and thousands of heroes in this world, after one round comes another, when will it stop?â
Yang Guo raised his head and said, âMy Master doesnât care about who takes the place of the Chancellor of Wulin, but when she saw your Master, her anger flared up.â
Huo Dou said, âWho is your Master? Where is Senior?â
Yang Guo laughed and said, âSenior is in front of your eyes. Hey, Gu Gu, he asks how Senior is.â Xiao Longnu gave an âenâ sound and nodded to Huo Dou.
Everyone was startled at first but then burst out in laughter. They saw that Xiao Longnu was beautiful, she was younger than Yang Guo; how could she be his master? The young man must be joking, trying to make a fool out of Huo Dou. Only Hao Datong, Sun BuâEr, Zhao Zhijing and Zhen Zhibing knew that he was telling the truth.
Though Huang Rong was intelligent and wise, she could not believe such a pretty, delicate, young girl could be his master.
Huo Duo was furious, he shouted, âLittle bastard is talking crap! There are many important matters to be resolved today at this heroes gathering, how can I allow you to make trouble here? Crawl away.â
Yang Guo said, âYour Master is ugly and dark, his words are gibberish, it is extremely hard on the ears. Look at how beautiful my master is, graceful and elegant; if she is the Chancellor of Wulin, wonât that be a lot better than your ugly monk Master?â When Xiao Longnu heard Yang Guo praising her beauty, she was delighted, she revealed a smile, it really was like a flower blooming, a halo of beautiful jade, unparalleled elegance.
The crowd saw that Yang Guo was becoming more and more daring in his attempt to make a fool of his opponent, they felt great delight; a few experienced people were secretly worried that Huo Dou would take his life.
