"Why are you still kneeling? get up I haven't even started."
Hwang Seong-min tries to say something but before he could say anything Yilu Lok continues.
"Are you going to give up?"
A jolt ran all over the body of Hwang Seong-min he tries to look into the eyes of Yilu Lok but the overwhelming atmosphere won't let him.
"How disappointing? it seems you are done."
Hwang Seong-min when started training he was praised for being a genius, for him mastering martial arts is very easy he can easily master them. He belongs to a rich family in Yunnan and after learning that Yilu family is recruiting trainee he came here. He has fought with many other trainees and the one kneeling were his opponents.
This is the first time he is at the receiving end. This is the first time he is feeling this kind of pain and Yilu Lok's taunting voice has made him lose all intention of fighting.
Hwang Seong-min's heart wants to give up. But a part of him tells him to get up if he give up now it is over for him. As all the fire inside Hwang Seong-min is about to extinguish he suddenly feels a little spark.
Hwang Seong-min uses all of his strength to get up on his feet and takes a fighting stance.
Yilu Lok also takes a stance. Both of them stays at there position without moving an inch as the tension rises both of them dash at each other.
Yilu Lok swings his sword downwards and Hwang Seong-min swings his right fist. Both fist and sword clash creating a shockwave the two of them are take a setp back because of rebound. Both none of them stop they put all there weight on there front leg and keep swinging there fist and sword.
Shockwaves spreads all over the training ground as all of the trainees watching the match quitely look at both of them.
No one can say that the match is happening between two people who has not even reached the level of a third class warrior.
'Yes that is it this is what I need to completely get used to my poweless body.'
Yilu Lok's smile wildly like a maniac who loves to fight.
As the fight progress injuries pile up on both Yilu Lok and Hwang Seong-min but none of the two are stoping.
Yilu Lok feels like fog in his mind subsiding and his understanding of sword has reched a new level as for Hwang Seong-min he has entered in the state of flow every move he is making feels like it is aligned with the flow of nature.
Hwang Seong-min places all of his weight in his left leg pulls his left shoulder back rotates his right side and throws a perfect straight punch it hits the sword of Yilu Lok and sends him flying it takes him few step to stabilize his position. A faint energy starts to shine at the lower energy center of Hwang Seong-min.
"Ths.. This."
"What the hell? the rookie has entered the state of flow."
Everyone in the audience is discussing about Hwang Seong-min.
"To think the rookie would be this talanted."
"It's also thanks to the third young master."
Someone supporting Yilu Lok said.
"Yes yes if the third young master has not asked to spar he would not be getting opportunity like that."
All the others ignores them and carefull look at the sparing match. But everybody today knows in there heart that Hwang Seong-min is going to have very bright future.
'What is this? I can fell everthing. Yes third young master is going to swing diagonally from his left side.'

Hwang Seong-min dodges the straight punch by taking three step back. But he is surprised by Yilu Lok's punch.
Just Like Hwang Seong-min everybody watching the match is equally surprised.
"What did the third young master just do?"
"He.. he.. he copied Hwang Seong-min's punch."
"How did the third young master do that it was not just a simple punch, how did young master copied it."
"Maybe young master is also learning fist techniques."
One of them said.
"You don't know anything about fist arts that's why you are saying this."
"What is that punch that special?"
"Of course he is punching using all the strength inside his body into his punch. You need very high level of understanding to pull a punch like that."
After listening to explanation everyone starts to think about how Yilu Lok is able to copy the punch.
"How did you do that?".
Surprised Hwang Seong-min asks Yilu Lok.
"How"
Yilu Lok smile and again places all of his weight in his left leg pulls his left shoulder back rotates his right side and throws a perfect straight punch. This time instead of dodging Hwang Seong-min himself throws the same straight punch.
Both fist colides and ground beneath them cracks. Both of there firsts are in stand still neither Yilu Lok nor Hwang Seong-min is willing to budge.
The standstill remains for few second. Than Yilu Lok starts using more strength in his fist. Although after leaving multicolored sea Yilu Lok has lost the strength that he had there. But his body is different from others after all unknown has paid a very heavy price to create it. Compare to a normal person his body and attributes are six time stronger.
Bit by bit Hwang Seong-min fist is being pushed back. But he does not give up and place more strength into his fist to push Yilu Lok back, but no matter what he do the difference in raw strength between him and Yilu Lok is too great.
"Look third young master is overpowering Hwang Seong-min."
"Of course you dumb ass young master has been training for years compard to Hwang Seong-min his physical body is way stronger."
"So young master is going to win."
One of the audiences shakes his head.
"In the battle between two martial artists of same strength there are many factors Hwang Seong-min may be losing ground be he has not lost the match and there is not much gap between him and third young master so we can't say who is going to win until the match is decided."
Everyone nods and looks at the match that is about to end with great anticipation.
Hwang Seong-min is about to lose in his desperation the faint energy in his lower energy center begans to burn his body began to heat up and suddenly his body becomes full of strength.
"Fuu.."
