The only game changer here is B. In B, we'll be effectively revealing to everyone in the pugilistic community that we have one of the most prized and forbidden techniques in the world. In case anyone has forgotten, the suspicion of us having it was enough to make Bai KILL US (rollback 3, wasn't it?). People will be hounding us because of this. Personally, I'm fine with that if it means beating the3se guys and the Abbot. But anyone who's freaking out over C being revealed in favor of B needs to check themselves.
Yeah, because those monks were so bro at keeping our secret back in the YT tournament. I think that if we've learned anything in this LP, it's that martial artists gossip more than schoolgirls.Shaolin bros don't spill Shaolin bros' secrets in cold blood, bro.
She gave us Nine Yin in exchange, didn't she?Oh, shit. I just went back and realized you assholes gave Bai our WQ technique. Great, now she has two forbidden techniques and can royally fuck us over in a fight.

If I'm remembering what this refers to correctly (trading knowledge of techniques with BJ), we taught the basics of WQS in exchange for the basics of Jiuyin. At least, that was the deal as I understood it.Not an all-female sect, and I forgot to add that Jiuyin technique. You can learn its basics with 1 or 2.
Jiuying Zhiyu Sword (九影制獄劍, Nine Shadows Imprisonment Sword).
Level 1:
Reflective Blade's Shadow - A slow yin move allowing the sword to appear as if it is engulfed in darkness, disguising its movements.
Red Cloud Sword - A powerful sword move inspired by Huashan's Zixia Swordplay, channeling a strong, chaotic swirl of qi to enhance the strength and speed of the attacks.
I also figured we might get a +1 sword skill out of this exchange, but eh, nope. Turns out trading Wuxiang Qiankun basics wasn't good enough for that. Well, +1 swords has become a running joke by now.Gentle Storm Dance - An extremely swift sword dance derived from Huashan's Kuangfeng Swift Sword and your own Leaf Dance of the Azure Dragon, focusing on speedy slashes and precision jabs.
C > A.
OK, so again, as someone that mostly stays out of DISCUSS! these days, do hear me out this once.
I am convinced that revealing WQ to the Shaolin - a sect very rigid in its ways, with an Abbott who has just demonstrated how willing he is to smack down on those possessing the forbidden abilities - is a recipe for disaster. Remember, we are doing this to become honourary Shaolin and then plead Xuxian's case - how the hell are we going to do that by showing that we, the unorthodox Xu Jing also rumoured to have murdered people at the Lingshu wedding, is now in possession of WQ?
I believe we have to win without WQ at any point, and I believe both this challenge and the next will be very very difficult. Hence, the only feasible answer is to use the drain now, and then go all out on the Abbott. Firstly, this gives us a good chance of persevering both challenges. Secondly, this sets us up for a good old honest brawl with the Abbott, which is the best for Shaolin reputation, but also most strategic for us - tricks like qi drain and WQ are least likely to work well on him.
You jump immediately, going after him before he can regain his balance. Drawing your right palm back, you channel all the qi you can muster and smash it down into Guo Fu’s huge body. He slams into the floor, cracking the wood, and tumbles backwards in a noisy flurry of heavy limbs. When he comes to a stop, he has landed just outside the ring area. You drop to your knees as the gong is sounded, watching Guo Fu get to his knees looking extremely battered from your blows. His eyes seem to be shining with respect.
...
The crowd, which had been watching in tense silence till now, breaks out into a loud roar at your victory. The sound of their exhilaration echoes around the tournament area.
Then, you pass out.
...
The crowd cheers louder than ever for you when you arrive on stage with your bandaged arm. You give them a wave of acknowledgement, sending them into a frenzy.
Nnnnnng. I really don't think it's a good idea to reveal WQ unless we really have to. Seems we're doing it when we don't really have to.
It doesn't seem that WQS has the same consequences.
Perhaps you cannot madden that which is already mad.
