Silence.
Utter silence!
THUD.
Ouyang Zhong fell backward onto the ground. A thin line of blood slowly trickled from the tip of his nose.
He sat there, stunned, not daring to move, not even daring to breathe. He could only stare blankly at Lin Hui, watching as his opponent slowly withdrew his sword.
Finally, unable to hold it in any longer, Ouyang Zhong began to gasp for air.
"You let me win, Senior Brother," Lin Hui said, his voice weak as he took a deep breath of his own.
'Of course, the weakness was just an act. After using an ultimate move, you have to act the part. Not doing so would draw too much attention.'
"You let me win..." Ouyang Zhong was helped off the stage. Even as he was leaving, he didn't forget to ask Lin Hui, "What was that move you just used?"
"Hidden Assault. It's a finishing blow that I can only use once by erupting with all my strength," Lin Hui sighed.
