"Divine power"

A week had already passed.

Long Tian had woken up early to prepare that day.

As he passed the Western Yard, Long Tian saw Long Kun and Zhao Kuan training.

"Your stamina is weak! You need to defend yourself better!" Long Kun said.

"Urgh!" Zhao Kuan was on the ground badly hurt.

"Come on! Get up!"

"Hm..." When Zhao Kuan stood up, he looked at Long Tian passing by the balcony. "Brother Long..."

"Good morning." Long Tian said, trying not to look at Zhao Kuan's bruises. "Uncle Long Kun, good morning."

"Good morning Long Tian." Long Kun smiled happily, as if he hadn't been spanking Zhao Kuan a minute ago. "Woke up earlier than usual, are you going to eat now?"

"En."

Long Kun then put away the sword he held in his hand.

"Zhao Kuan, let's finish here today." Long Kun then climbed onto the porch and smiled at Long Tian before walking away towards the main house.

Long Tian watched him pass until he turned the hall, then turned to Zhao Kuan who was still on the ground and came down the porch to help him.

"Quite frankly..."

...

"You guys took a while." Meng Lin-Huo said as he saw Long Tian and Zhao Kuan enter the dining room.

"Wow, what happened to you?" Zheng Xi-Wang asked looking at Zhao Kuan who was all bandaged up.

Everyone there, including Long Kun was already at the dinner table, eating their morning meal.

"Zhao Kuan was training with Master Kun." Long Tian spoke for Zhao Kuan, sitting at the table and picking up a bowl.

"It looks very ugly, I can heal you if you want, Zhao Kuan." Huang Mei said.

"Of course, I'd rather not show up with bruises like that, they'll think I got a bad one." Zhao Kuan said, putting a handful of rice in his mouth.

"But that's exactly what happened." Long Tian spoke up.

"Hey!"

"Get used to it, it's only going to get worse from now on." Long Tian shrugged.

Zhao Kuan gulped and looked at Long Kun who smiled back.

...

"Urgh!" Zhao Kuan grumbled as he sat in the room.

They had already arrived at the Academy and the room was quite busy while Li Ming-Yue hadn't shown up.

"Does it still hurt so much?" Zheng Xi-Wang asked, taking a seat next to him.

"A little..." Zhao Kuan laid his head on the table and looked at Zheng Xi-Wang with a smile. "Why? Are you worried?"

"Not at all."Zheng Xi-Wang said dryly.

"Come on Shuang, you might as well take care of me right?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Why are we going to be husband and wife in the future, isn't it?"

"Feel like going back to the infirmary?" Zheng Xi-Wang snapped.

Zhao Kuan just smiled smugly.

"You talk like that, but I know you love me."

"You really want to die today, don't you?" Long Tian spoke from beside him in a sigh.

But Zhao Kuan didn't care.

Annoying Zheng Xi-Wang made his day better.

"All seated!"

Li Ming-Yue entered the room and everyone sat down immediately, but the movement still continued.

"I see you're excited, aren't I? I hope you use this animation during today's class! Let's go, everyone to the courtyard!"

The tapping of shoes on the floor as the students followed Li Ming-Yue to the patio could be heard throughout the hallway.

"Take sticks and pair up, today will be our first martial arts class."

"Master Li Ming-Yue!" Someone raised their hand. "Is learning martial arts necessary for all specialties?"

"Yes" from them, you won't get very far." Li Ming-Yue spoke as she walked back and forth.

Long Tian clutched the bat in his hands thinking about it.

Her uncle Long Kun always talked about the body strengthening the spirit, and how important it was for a Divine Specialist to know how to master martial techniques.

"Now let's go! Pair up!" Li Ming-Yue yelled once more.

Everyone started to gather.

"So... It's been a long time since we fought together, hasn't it?" Zhao Kuan approached Zheng Xi-Wang and said.

Zheng Xi-Wang looked at him and smiled as he placed the bat on the ground.

"It is true."

"Today, I beat you." Zhao Kuan then took a defensive stance.

"Not a chance." Zheng Xi-Wang also took a defensive stance. "You still need to train hard to get to my level."

Long Tian saw Zhao Kuan and Zheng Xi-Wang walk away together to another area.

He looked around but soon felt someone approaching.

“Young Master Long Tian?” Liu Jian Yi then appeared in front of him.

She wore a satisfied smile.

"Miss Liu Jian Yi..." Long Tian spoke indifferently.

"Young master, could you do me the honor of this training?"

Long Tian stared at her for a few long seconds and sighed.

"Of course." He then took a defensive stance. "But don't expect me to take it easy on you."

Liu Jian Yi smiled and also took a stand.

"Don't worry...I want you to come with everything."
