How I Killed Your Master: Page 025 to ~046

...Heh.

I would have preferred this sequence if we received an indication that Wong was still goading the instructor into sending the additional students after him.
...As is, it felt a bit like overkill for the poor guy. After the first two losses, it should have been obvious enough the kid wasn't fit to fight.

Wong pretty much disrespected a master in her own house, in front of her students, and insulted her entire gender to boot. There's masters that'd probably kill someone for less. Plus, if she's friendly with Fei she's probably an arsehole too.

What was that move #3 did?

And I like how #6 doesn't even look like she fought him, and instead just straight up bitch-slapped him.

Considering Fei has apparantly not taught him humility, how to gauge an opponent, or even make a good judgment call, I'd say Wong could stand to use the lesson(s).

"I don't know where Fei messed up with you, but I will not have a dolt learning my style. First you learn where you are going wrong, then I will teach you to fight."

They were just too fast for him :P
Nice texture on the floor there

Looks like for his fight with #3 he actually managed to get an attack off with his arm. #3 then promptly block/grabed it and used Wong's momentum to amplify the power of the back of his fist hitting Wong's face. Possibly with some sort of sweep or throwing technique for good measure.

From the looks of hit #6 used a straight up "Karate Chop" type attack probably coming down and slightly at angle into the side of neck/shoulder area. Although it's kind of hard to tell which side she hit exactly from that angle without an actual 3D rendering. What we're seeing is the recoil after the strike. Although it totally could have been a slap. There are slapping techniques in my style and when done right with the whole body they are just as painful and dangerous as any other technique.

Although it's far more likely that Wong is simply not used to facing opponents who use another style, does anyone here feel it at all plausible that he was perhaps deliberately sent to Fang Yun because Tiger knuckle focuses on attributes that are inheritently underdeveloped in Five Mantis Fist? I'm not at all suggesting that the latter is inferior to the former, just that perhaps there's a balance between the five styles, a natural order of progression, perhaps?

I wonder is this turn of events is going to be repeated at every place Wong goes...

If that's the case, each style of fighting is pretty useless if the first 2 style together gets pummeled by the 3rd style. Then why even bother with the 3rd and 4th? Might as well just go to the 5th style and master that style.

I don't think Wong would let this pummeling happen again. I think he'll be ready next time. He'll have some dream sequence with a flashback to something Fei told him.

Oh Wong, you didn't use your special weapon. You should have used your special tea. With cyanide. Wong should have followed Xu Li and used poison.

I miss Po. Maybe he turns out to be the 5th master? Maybe he'll reiterate his warning to Wong.

Maybe Po...is Xu Li in disguise!

WHAT A TWEEEEEEEST!

Seriously. That's just sadistic. If she actually wanted to assess the kid, she should start him off against the least accomplished student. Hell, for all we know he might have won that fight if he hadn't just had the stuffing beaten out of him five times in a row. It seems more like she enjoys humiliating him. A trait her "most accomplished student" seems to have learned well. She may have just been annoyed at Wong's arrogance, but she clearly has no respect for him. Sending him against every one of her students, no holds barred, starting with the most accomplished, without a chance to rest? Yeah, she just wants to wipe the smug smile off his face. She knew after the first match he wasn't up to snuff.
