Chapter 116 - Weakness
Diya approached Old man Lin and Leon while she was holding a wooden sword in her hand.
"I found this, is this sword okay?"diya said as she looked towards Leon and old man Lin And showed the wooden sword which she was holding, Old man Lin nodded his head Seeing a wooden sword.
"Yes, this wooden sword is good, now follow me I need to check something before we start your proper training" Old man lin said. And next moment he approaches the centre of the hall And diya follows him behind.
Both of them standing at the centre of the hall, The floor is made of wooden for practising combat.
"Attack me with all of your might,don't hold yourself " He looked towards the diya as he said those words.
Diya was dumbfounded as she heard the old man lin" Grandpa but you are not holding anything, I can't attack you like that when you are unarmed "She looked towards the old man lin as she said those words.
Leon couldn't hold his laugh as he heard those words from Diya's mouth. He is standing a few metres away and watching these two closely.
"Attack him, don't hold yourself daughter this is a test he wants to determine your physical limits, so don't bother with anything, he is a tough old man he is not going to die with the attack of a wooden sword" Leon cheers for diya as he says those words.
Old man Lin nodded his head and he gave a threatening look to Leon and his gaze fell on the diya "dont worry about me, attack me with all of your might,don't hold yourself back" He said to her.
Diya was still in a daze as she didn't want to attack grandpa lin, The sword in her hand is durable and it can harm the old man's body as he don't have anything in his hand she thought to herself but hearing old man Lin and Leon's words she nodded her head in response and tighten the the grip around the sword as she takes an attacking position.
Diya took a deep breath and she started attacking old man Lin with all of her might, She is swinging the sword aimlessly towards the old man lin, Lin took a deep breath as he dodges diya's every single attack with ease, after swinging a few more times Diya's movement started becoming slow.
But she gathers all her strength as she tries attacking one more time, but every time she attacks him he can easily evade every attack without flinching.
She tried attacking more than ten times in a row without taking any rest but she failed every time.
"Damn it why is my attack not working" She felt disappointed and ashamed as she didn't connect any single attack after trying so many times.
She thought after breaking into the sixth level of the body awakening she got a little bit of a chance to succeed as she is not a normal human anymore, but alas her self confidence started going down.
Leon shook his head as he saw the frustration on Diya's face.He felt bad for diya. He can understand what diya is thinking right now but still, she didn't get any training before so it is quite considerable that she dont have any skill in battle.
"Poor child she has a long way to go, I can understand seeing her moves They are sloppy as she didn't take any combat training but the strength is pretty amazing behind her attacks, she lacks speed and Stamina" Leon mumbled as he looked towards diya who is swinging the wooden sword towards the old man lin aimlessly in the hope to connect at least one attack.
While Old man Lin is moving effortlessly around Diya as he dodged every single attack.Sometimes later Diya fell on her knees and started taking a heavy breath. She finally reached her limit as she couldn't continue anymore.
"Grandpa give me a few moments I don't think I can continue anymore, let me take some breath before we start again" she said as she looked towards the old man Lin.
Old man Lin took a deep breath as he saw diya and he nodded his head hearing her words" Don't worry we are done here take your time" He responded to diya.
Diya felt disappointed as she heard those words, she wanted to try again and prove herself to him. but alas she remained silent as she started catching her breath.
Old man Lin's gaze went towards the direction of Leon who was looking at him with a smile.
Seeing the old man Lin's gaze Leon approached Him and the next moment his gaze fell on the diya who was taking some rest on the ground, he smiled at her seeing the frustration on her face. He understands that she is disappointed and this is a good thing for her that she felt this way.
Leon took a sigh and shifted his gaze toward Lin.
"Lin, what do you think about her combat style?" Leon asked the old man Lin.
Old man lin took a deep breath"She has to start with zero, Her movement is sloppy, She needs a lot of practice and one more thing she is not using her cultivation base might be an issue, She didn't even know how to use her cultivation base in the fight but still, she is strong" Lin responded to Leon.
"Yes she didn't use her cultivation base while attacking you, but the strength behind her attack is quite good. I am surprised to see that" Leon said and the next moment he approached Diya.
"Diya we are done here, we will start your training tomorrow morning,don't feel frustrated this is your first day" Leon petted diya's head as he said those words.
Lin also nodded his head and smiled towards diya. ``Yes Leon is right, let's go, Alena is waiting for us, we will start from tomorrow," old man Lin said.
Hearing the old men, Diya nodded her head and some time later three of them left the hall.
Meanwhile,
"Tch One more time this is not enough" Yohan mumbled as he practised Thousand step sword technique inside his soul subspace, his whole body is drenching with sweat but somehow he is started to comprehend every moment which is that figure is performing in front of him.
Some time later yohan fell to the ground and the shadow figure also disappeared from the moment yohan fell.
"I am very close to my goal," Yohan said to himself as he raised his hand towards the dark sky.
