The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao looked at the king of flames. He did not use the fire element just now, because he was aware that this was not the full strength of the old man. He was just testing the waters with his earlier attack.

The flame king had not retreated because of the impact of his punch, but it was at his discretion. By opening a gap between each other, he will be able to get a better chance of attack, while at the same time he can make Yang Dao have the illusion that he could suppress him.

Yang Dao admitted in his heart that this guy was not the ordinary joe. He had the skills at both physical and mental levels. The small schemes set the ground for a big scam. The scam was to let the opponent think he was weak and then, like a viper strike when the opponent thinks that the fight has ended and relaxes.

The old man took out a sword from his side. Yang Dao did not pay attention to the sword earlier as it was not drawn out. Turns out Feng Yun gave him a sword because she saw this coming. He scratched the back of his head as he made a thumbs-up gesture behind him. He realized that he has a lot to learn to become strong.

Feng Yun smiled at this. As the boy focused on the duel. The flame king moved forward at a fast speed, stabbing at Yang Dao with his long sword. The Dao Child did not underestimate this person anymore and drew out his sword as well.

The drummers at the edge all began to play beats. Yang Dao was disturbed by this and the opponent exploited this opening. He began to stab at the boy repeatedly. The attacks were so fast that Yang Dao could only parry or avoid the attacks. What added to his troubles was a flame stream shot at him between the streams.

The crowd cheered as the king of flame overwhelmed Yang Dao. The beats also began to pick up the pace and the flame streams shot at him also rose in number. The Dao Child had his forehead covered in sweat, but he did not panic. The situation was not in his favor, but he could still get out of it.

Suddenly he jumped back and as soon as he landed, he took a step to his left. He did this to avoid being attacked and chased by the king of flame. He took a deep breath and gazed at the opponent, who was still coming over to stab him, exhaled heavily.

What came out of his mouth was not just exhaled air, but also fire. Yang Dao breath fire at the opponent, shocking the latter into a retreat. The king of flames did not expect this boy to have such a skill up his sleeve. However, he was an experienced person as well. He kicked the ground to open the distance between the two and waved his sword; it was as if he danced and the sword was covered in flames.

With every slash, he directed a fire slash at Yang Dao. This attack was not only hot but also sharp. The Dao Child sensed the sword tremble. He recalled how the sword has given him some unique skills. These skills were attack moves.

He raised the sword and began to move. As he moved the sword in his hands, his movements changed. From simple slashes using the wrist, the whole arm began to move, and then the whole body. It was as if he had begun to dance with the king of flames. However, his dance was not that strong in the beginning.

As the boy moved, his stance and movements gradually improved. Yang Dao seemed to have comprehended the skill. Feng Yun mumbled, "Good."

She heard a voice behind her, "Miss, may I ask what is good?"

Feng Yun had long since noticed that the girl Dawn was standing behind her. She seemed to initiate a conversation with her, but the duel had made her turn her attention. Feng Yun also wanted to talk about Yang Dao and finally, she found someone to brag to. She smiled and said, "Master finally understood the secret of this move."

Dawn asked, "Has it been long since he has started studying this move?"

Feng Yun shook her head and said, "No, it has been just a few hours since he had known that move."

Dawn was shocked. She could not understand what level of talent did one need to learn a move within a few minutes. She turned her head to the battlefield and found Yang Dao dancing with his sword. The tassel at the back of the sword had a lot many uses, but what Yang Dao used it for was a distraction.

The tassel was made of vermillion silk. As the blade swung, the tassel followed the trajectory. The king of flames was distracted a little. Till now Yang Dao had yet to use the fire element to attack. The boy has been defending himself against the fire slashes sent towards him by the old man.

Yang Dao wanted to find the source of strength for this skill. He did not wish to shame the title of the challenger, and also the arrogance he showed earlier by ending up with a half-assed attack. As his mind turned like clockwork. He came to a point that the essence of the skill lied with flame.

A flame was always the strongest at its core. The skill required the body to dance like a flame while slashing the blade. So imagining the body like a flame, the core will be the waist. The strength channeled through the body as he used his waist to generate the force. The moves became strong and now he could confidently deal with the fire slashes.

What happened next was not expected by the people in the stands. Yang Dao countered fire with fire. The blade was covered with flames and as it slashed, the flames traveled through the void.. The flames danced mesmerizing them all.
