7 Days Training (3)

The way Sifeng made his strike is dangerous and reckless, the only thing he did for almost an hour is a continuous strike, that's what Kim had asked him to do and after his hand started feeling deprived of blood, he dropped the wooden sword and fell on his knee breathing heavily.

"I must admit, your performance went far beyond my expectations, I never thought you could last this long with the powerful strikes you're delivering. "

Kim said as she picked the wooden sword and started swinging it around.

"I'll do some fresh up while you rest."

Instead of resting though, Sifeng sat down and watch Kim's every move, her beautiful and flawless move is no different from a dance, he watch with keen interest as she strike the reflex training doll that fails to deflect any of her attacks.

After watching for a while, he stood up and approach Kim as it seems his energy is back, they continue the training with her showing him different moves and also striking stances. Most of the moves she displayed for him are footwork and body movement.

She displayed some body movements with a firm footwork, balance and agile striking stance. Sifeng repeated what she has done all over again till he got tired. The training continues with the same process, Kim teaching him different things whenever he recovered from his exhaustion and when it was night, Sifeng continue with his cultivation.

Kim had told him that all he needs to do with his life force now as a Cub is proper control, he should learn how to handle and control it well, a proper control will make him recover from exhaustion faster, he would be able to cast spell faster and he can also use it to enhance is physical prowess. Getting to the next rank is not something he could do in a matter of months, it will take years, so that's why he was asked to learn a proper control of his life force.

But Sifeng is having a hard time controlling his wild life force, anytime he took a deep breath, the energy will be running wild within his body like it was about to break out, like a trapped rushing water looking for an escape route, that's how his life force had been doing.

On the third day third of their training, Sifeng was to put his sword art into practice as the two were to have a little spar. Kim went on to pick up another wooden sword while Sifeng had the one he had been using to train all this while.

Kim told him he was to use all the moves she had displayed for him so they would know how well he can go in a fight with a real opponent, they both got into a fighting stance with their sword readied. Kim was the first to charge in, she made sure to not use pass the skills and moves she had taught him and also balanced her strength to match his', so the spar will feel real and last a little longer.

Sifeng also moves from his position as Kim charged in ready to go for a strike.

'A diagonal slash, she told me I can either avoid this, deflect it with my own attack or take it head on which isn't an option.'

As Kim's sword slowly come down to his head, he reacted by making an attack of his own, he raised his sword from the ground and moves it upward, it collides with Kim's sword which was just a few inches away from his head, the impact was strong that Sifeng wanted to drop his sword as his hand suddenly felt numb, but he knew he couldn't because dropping his sword will make Kim's sword to continue moving on and would eventually hit him.

His plan was to deflect the strike with an attack of his own but upon making impact, his hand was jerked back and his sword had stopped, so he had no choice but to put more strength hoping to push Kim away.

Kim also realized that her strength might be too much for him, even after trying to match it up to his level, he's just too weak, she quickly move her sword back and gave a small kick to his stomach, he reacted on instinct as he quickly brought down his left arm to block the kick, but he was still sent back.

"Don't try blocking or deflecting my attack, you're too weak for that, even though I tried to match my strength up to yours, not only that but you also lack the skills to deflect an attack so just try to avoid it. That's all."

The spar continue and Sifeng is now avoiding her attack instead of blocking, he would move to the side when the attack comes horizontally, he will bend down if it's vertical then move to back if it's a diagonal strike or he was put in a strange situation. He also made sure to throw a strike of his own when he had the chance.

And as times goes on, he got the hang of it and Kim is also starting to enjoy the spar that she had increased her strength and used some advance moves, she only used advance moves when a strike came from Sifeng because his attacks held so much power.

The spar moves on for about thirty minutes with Sifeng sweating rapidly, he had received so many strikes from Kim but never land one of his own on her, even with all his powerful strikes, she was able to avoid and deflect every one of them. He just lack the skill, if they're in a real fight now and they're not using a wooden sword, Sifeng is sure that he would have long dead with his body battered.

The thought is getting on his nerves that his strike is becoming fierce and dangerous by the second that he even go against the idea of blocking or avoid her attack, he just wanted to land an attack of his own and a strange energy was rising from his body, moving up from the bottom of his soul, sweat was rolling down his forehead.

Kim also realized his strike has turn fierce and aggressive, he's not trying to avoid her attack anymore and only going for a strike, although, Kim is enjoying the spar but she knew Sifeng would get hurt with his mannerless attack, so she decided to move back and end the spar.

But just at that moment, a thick golden aura left the tip of Sifeng's sword, heading straight for her.
