Whirlwind Girl Episode 6 Recap
> Whirlwind Girl Recap
Following her recent defeat, Qi Bai Cao felt disheartened and skipped practice at Song Bai DoJo. Senior Ruo Bai found her and sternly reminded her of her commitment to Yuan Wu Dao and her Master. He challenged her despair, emphasizing that true martial artists endure failure and continuously strive for improvement. Ruo Bai explained the KO rule, highlighting the importance of power and technique in Yuan Wu Dao, a balance he asserted her Master had meticulously taught her.
He urged her to reflect on her path and commitment. Later, Qi Bai Cao returned to the DoJo. Her friend, Fan Xiao Ying, expressed concern for her absence. Other students also expressed remorse for their previous treatment of Qi Bai Cao, acknowledging her kindness and hard work. They encouraged her to join the cheerleading squad for the upcoming Martial Arts Hall Challenge Matches.
Reluctantly at first, Qi Bai Cao joined the enthusiastic practice, eventually finding her smile again as they chanted cheers for Song Bai. Hu Yifeng and Ruo Bai observed the lively practice. Meanwhile, Fang Tinghao, a renowned martial artist, was on the phone with his sister, Fang Tingyi, casually dismissing interview requests, confident in his widespread fame. He mentioned making her favorite fried eggs for breakfast.
Moments later, driving recklessly, his car nearly collided with Qi Bai Cao, who had to swerve to avoid it, landing inside his car. After the car stopped, they had a contentious exchange. Fang Tinghao, believing he had saved her, expected gratitude, but Qi Bai Cao, unaware of his reputation, challenged his arrogance and demanded her book back. He teasingly wrote "Get in line" on her hand, suggesting she could teach him Yuan Wu Dao.
Fang Tinghao and Fang Tingyi then visited their mother, Wan Mei, who lay comatose in the hospital. Fang Tinghao tenderly spoke to her, showing her a medal they won in Korea and recounting their numerous victories, attributing their success to her genes. He confided that his father wanted him to take over the family business, but he had one last important competition to attend.
A flashback revealed the tragic incident years ago when Wan Mei was severely injured during a match against Yu Chuyuan’s mother, leaving her in a coma and instilling a deep-seated hatred in Fang Tinghao towards the Yu family. He reiterated his promise to his mother to defeat Yu Chuyuan. To fulfill this promise, Fang Tinghao confronted Yu Chuyuan, challenging him to participate in the Martial Arts Hall Challenge Matches. Yu Chuyuan, who had long since retired from martial arts, refused.
However, Fang Tinghao pressed him, implying dire consequences for Song Bai DoJo and Yu Chuyuan's friends if he chose to avoid the competition. Fang Tinghao was determined to win and had already commissioned a friend to gather extensive information on all potential opponents, including kick analysis, competition strategies, and even personality traits and zodiac signs, along with video footage, to ensure his victory. Back at Song Bai DoJo, Qi Bai Cao was engrossed in studying her "Tornado Kick" manual.
Other students, including Xiu Da, mocked her, dismissing it as a fraudulent "cheat book." Hu Yifeng even joked that he had several such books, which he used as makeshift risers for his bed. Ruo Bai intervened, putting an end to their teasing and instructing everyone to resume their training. During a practice session with Fan Xiao Ying, Qi Bai Cao attempted to apply the observation techniques from her book but struggled to identify what to look for.
Ruo Bai noticed her difficulty and advised her to observe the opponent's shoulders, explaining that focusing on the legs would slow her reactions. Taking his advice, Qi Bai Cao quickly grasped Fan Xiao Ying's movements and countered with a powerful kick, surprising them both. Excited by her breakthrough, Qi Bai Cao explained to Fan Xiao Ying that by observing subtle body movements, or "stances," before an opponent attacks, one can predict their moves.
Fan Xiao Ying was overjoyed, envisioning them as unbeatable champions. However, when Fan Xiao Ying tried to apply the technique, she repeatedly failed and sustained injuries from Qi Bai Cao's kicks, leading her to believe the book was unreliable. Despite the setbacks and her own injuries, Qi Bai Cao remained resolute.
Since she wouldn't be competing, she decided to dedicate her time to thoroughly mastering the "Tornado Kick" manual, believing that even if it brought no immediate glory, it would undoubtedly enhance her skills. Fan Xiao Ying, despite her protests about the pain, reluctantly agreed to continue practicing with her. Later, Yu Chuyuan visited Qi Bai Cao, showing deep concern for her injuries.
He gently cleaned and bandaged her arm, his compassionate gesture bringing a sense of warmth and comfort to Qi Bai Cao. As the night drew in, Qi Bai Cao, while conversing with Fan Xiao Ying about matters of the heart, found her thoughts drifting to the gentle and handsome Yu Chuyuan, realizing he had begun to occupy a special place in her mind. That night, she dreamt of him, their figures dancing in a shimmering, fantastical world.
