ADVANCED TRAINING PART 1

Outside the courtyard house sat her carefully crafted training weights. Using her earth element, she had transformed ordinary stones from the Great White Mountain into perfectly balanced training equipment. Each piece had been meticulously molded through her earth manipulation—smooth, dense weights of varying sizes. Some were as light as a few jin for speed training, while others rivaled her own body weight for strength training.

Li Hua began her warm-up with practiced efficiency, her movements fluid and purposeful. She started with lighter weights, cycling through a series of precise movements that targeted each muscle group in sequence. Each lift, press, and swing flowed seamlessly into the next, her assassin's grace evident even in these basic exercises. The weights moved through the air like extensions of her limbs, each repetition executed with perfect form.
