One last thing about Guo Fu and his neigong. As some of you may have noticed, his breathing and focus is essential to executing the skill properly. It is a very qi-dependent technique. What happened here is that you took the hard way and basically smashed yourself against him until it gave out. No one sane would actually take on a master of Jinzhongzhao that way, only a maniac would even try it. Most people attempt to overcome it via softer, more refined methods. Yuhe Finger, for example, would have allowed you to win more safely by disrupting his qi.

See guys? We should totally have picked Yuhe finger way back then. :roll:

OK, alright. I am over it. This was just too good to let slip. +M
Doesn't matter. We would have lost it anyway when we joined the Manor.

I know. That's the main reason I'm good and well over it. It does, however, underline just how useful a qi-disrupting technique would help us.
If we could go seek out Cao'er and see if she'll teach it to us, I'd really appreciate that. If not, maybe Yao would be so inclined?

Heh, I'm not sure if injecting our opponents with raw warpstuff is the brightest of ideas, even if it will be very effective and entertaining to watch.

For the record: I am in favor of poking people with our qi and watching their heads explode.

On an unrelated note, treave, from what Jing learned of Zhang in the eighteen months he's been on the island, what are his views on personal bonds?

He hasn't said anything about it one way or another.

Also, Codex imagination of how calling out Bai Jiutian would go:

Xu Jing: Hey, faggot in white! Your skills suxxorz! Let me school you in how it's done! You and me, one on one, six months from now in a steel cage!

Bai Jiutian: RAAAGE I FIGHT U

:lol:

After reading some posts it looks like A will be more of polite way trolling? Rude person sudently becoming nice can be unnerving for some, nothing that will leave trauma?

As for sudden outburst with last A was decision between keeping low profile and increasing chances to get WiB info and we did play secret agent before mad tiger.

But does he have a choice if we win the tournament? If the current champion demands a duel, as a former one, he can not dismiss the request.

I don't see the quote above being that much far from the truth. Naturally, Jing's trolling, as well as Jiutian's answer, would be more refined, but that's it.

Well, you are assuming that he needs to be tricked, coerced, or otherwise forced into a match with you, that if given a choice he will choose not to fight you. I don't think it's trolling if he's willing to answer your simple, straightforward request and the match is to be carried out legitimately, with no tricks. And phrasing your request simply and politely is a far cry from trash-talking.

Sure, if you boil it down to you asking for a fight, and him agreeing, obviously that quote is not far from the truth. But that ignores plenty of factors like mediators, location, time, and rules of engagement, which won't all go according to your specifications just because you start insulting him. For example, there is a difference between impetuously calling him out on stage, and having the Abbot of Shaolin, with all his authority, publicly 'suggest' a match between the two champions.

Naw, the idea was to start talking shit about him all around China in the months prior to the fight, to get him angry and offset before our match even begins so we could troll him easier during it, hopefully making him think with his pride and ego instead of his brians. This depends on him being the narcissist he seems to be, it really does look like his ego is his weakest point. Like Esquilax said, his opponent in the previous finals was our first fight in the prelims, and everyone we fought with later could mop the floor with him (I really want to see a Jiutian vs Guo Fu fight), so he ain't shit and we're coming for his ass.
Of course, nothing's stopping us from calling him a "faggot in white." In fact, with his hair, I encourage it. :lol:

There's such disappointment when I get an alert and it isn't treave
Know that pain.

Would love to choose B but in our state doubt it would went well, rematch later after we will be patched up would be nice.

How long will those odd avatars remains? I am kinda scared by them dunno why.

Uh... You do realize how absolutely petty this sounds if you keep whining about him in every town you go to? Do you have nothing better to do than to act as promoter for your own fight? It makes you look like the obsessed one here if you can't help but insult him wherever you go. :lol:

If he is indeed a narcissist the best way to annoy him is to not give him any attention. Treat him as beneath your notice. Make him the one who asks for a fight to prove he is better, as you focus on doing things that continue to strengthen your reputation as a powerful 'hero'.

Deeds, not words. Talk is cheap.

We don't have forever to wait on him, though, so unless us winning over the crowd was enough to spark his anger or the Frathouse Bros (and Miecao) help us in arranging one, then we may have to. Besides which, I just want Jing to have something to troll him with and get him off center. If acting all cool and too important for him is the best way to do it, then I'm all for. If not, find another way.

We're talking about stuff that's still a couple updates ahead, but just for the record, we are NOT going to throw our mask off, put our foot up on the cold prone body of Nameless knocked out, and say WHO'S GOT THE ZHANG JUE EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO CHALLENGE ME LINE UP AND BOOK A TIME AND PLACE OH AND BAL JIUTIAN HAS A SMALL DICK TROLOLO.

Let's focus on the fight first. I suspect A will not be a golden ticket to instant victory with Yifang, and whether it works out well or not we will have another choice to make to win the semi-final. I'm worried that by the time we get to Nameless we will be too tattered to beat him.

The character has had a history of trolling through actions, starting with kicking a boot into a princess's face. I don't think you need to worry about him being unable to upset a faggot in white.

treave, what are the betting odds on our match against Yifang? The bookies must know that we're fighting injured, so that must even out the gambling odds quite a bit since a lot of people might not think that we can take Yifang in our injured state. I'm assuming that we're the favourite, but not as heavily favoured as say, Nameless was against Xiaoxiang. Also, how much money have we made from the bets thus far? Could we support ourselves easily without having to dabble in herbalism for the next few months if we win this match?

Yifang is slightly favoured to win. Injured is injured, people can be rather practical that way. You don't need to worry about money for a while, but you will need to worry about it even less if Qi Liuwu comes through with the bet.

Heh, fair enough. I suppose I should put more trust in Jing's natural abilities then.
