Luo Luo’s first move, as instructed by Chen Chang Sheng, seemed to be ordinary but it was actually the best choice to starting out a fight. The first person to move has to wait for the opponent to break the first move. This was the reason why the first attack should be defensive — to make it difficult for the opponent to break the momentum.
From Mao Qiu Yu’s point of view, it was a great choice but everyone would have thought the same so it didn’t look extremely clever.
Everyone could see that Gou Han Shi’s counter move was no special technique because what exquisite sword technique could an unknown sect of Dong Lin Province create? However, it was extremely well done, but just like the spectators, Chen Chang Sheng had never seen this sword technique.
Speaking nicely, Gou Han Shi’s counter was like a goat hanging itself on a tree by its horns so that its opponent couldn’t reach it. Speaking plainly, Gou Han Shi just spread some seeds into a farmland and never tended to it. He, himself wouldn’t know what this farmland would look like next year or whether the seeds would grow or not.
Then how would Chen Chang Sheng know?
