"Haaa! Haaa!"
Huffing and puffing, I fell back first on the matted floor. Leo, who was standing over me, tossed me a bottle of energy drink and a clean towel from his dimensional ring.
"Nice try," he sent a nod my way before taking a few steps back and clutching his wooden sword tightly, raising it high. "Try to come at me again. This time, use more feint attacks, and don't fight me head-on."
Glup, Gulp–
"Haaa~" Letting out a content sigh after drinking the contents of the bottle Leo threw at me, I stood up on my feet.
I too grasped a wooden spear in my hands tightly and pointed its head at Leo.
Gradually, a layer of azure mana started to envelop my wooden spear as I unleashed Sword Qi.
"Good," Leo remarked with a hint of surprise and pride. "Your Sword Qi is definitely becoming more stable. In a few weeks or a month at best, you'll be able to learn the True Sword Qi."
