And so the two started a strange dance of one silently attacking and one dodging while giving instructions . Shen Tianyu kept changing how much strength he should put in every blow providing him with more practice . Perhaps the reason he has not had the chance to practice such a simple thing was because everyone was too afraid to do so . A young child injuring other people, unable to control his strength, was naturally a frightening being .

Everyone in the stadium didn't know what to make of this little display . It was supposed to be a match yet one was teaching the other and giving instructions . Not to mention, the teacher doesn't even use the student's weapon! How could she possibly teach the young man?! However, no one said anything, either because they didn't care to or because they thought her authoritative tone made some sense .

This went on for two full incense stick of time before Shen Tianyu said something else . "I think it's time we wrap this up, there are other matches aside from ours . If you ever need help with this kind of thing again, just come find me . "

"Mm . This one understands . " Ling Lei replied between breaths . Controlling one's strength was not as easy as it sounded .

Shen Tianyu then turned to the Master of Ceremonies . "Hey, the result should be clear right? We're done, how about you announce?"

The Master of Ceremonies nodded and announced Shen Tian, or Shen Tianyu, as the winner of the round . Anyone could tell when she wasn't even breathing heavily while the other was sweating buckets, who had the upper hand . Shen Tianyu walked towards Ling Lei and patted his shoulder .

"I tend to travel a lot though so, if I'm not there, some people from Lavender Palace could help you . However, I can't control what conditions they throw out . " She told him before she turned and walked off the stage, back to her seat . Ling Lei gave a bow in her direction before he returned to his seat also .

Others were silently mocking him for being deceived by a woman for so long on false pretenses, but he could feel more control over his strength .

The next match was Junzhu Wen Ya against Liu Yizhen . The physicians had advised him not to move but he kept insisting he was fine and they could only give up before he went on a rampage and charged out of his room to attend . The Junzhu gulped in nervousness at her match . Of course she would be nervous, not only did he injure her cousin, he had done so while injured . He was really one of a kind .

The Master of Ceremonies yelled for the match to start and everyone waited with bated breath to see how the match would turn out . It was Wen Ya who moved first, but she didn't move her limbs but rather, her mouth .

"This Young Master wouldn't think of hurting a girl right? How could you be a man if you injured a girl?" Was the ridiculous thing that came out of her mouth .

Liu Yizhen had the courtesy to honor her with a reply, albeit with a frown . "I don't know how others think but in my family, women are equal to men and receive the same training . Things like not hitting or injuring a woman, we are not taught such silly things . If this Junzhu is not comfortable with this match, you are free to surrender . "

Wen Ya gritted her teeth and held her sickle and chain in a fighting posture . "Who said I would surrender!"

No further words were exchanged as she let her sickle fly . Liu Yizhen easily knocked it away with his heavy war hammer and rushed at her . Knowing full well she can't contend with his strength, she pulled back her sickle as she dodged a strike from him . She began to kite Liu Yizhen around the stage with her sickle, letting it fly but the other never being hit . It was frustrating to watch and probably more so for her, but she calmed her temper and waited for an opportunity to strike a deadly blow .

Though Liu Yizhen looked like he was all muscle and no brains, he actually had some of the latter . Knowing his opponent uses a flying projectile, he purposely put a small s.h.i.+eld on his vital points at his back and paid close attention to her chain . This resulted in him dodging the sickle whenever it flew back around .

This not so deadly but still lethal game of cat and mouse went on for longer than Shen Tianyu's lesson to Ling Lei, lasting three full incense sticks of time . Despite the earlier words, Liu Yizhen was still more muscle than brains and he was visibly showing his irritation now, his attacks becoming more erratic and annoyed, creating more cutting winds that covered a wider range, trying to take his opponent down faster .

Wen Ya was also irritated that it was taking so long to wear down her opponent but was more calm than the other . It really displayed her actual tolerance, something most likely trained for a long time over the years . Her sickle was still aiming for Liu Yizhen's vital points . Though she was making more mistakes, she quickly corrected them . In addition, they weren't any big mistakes as Liu Yizhen was still not completely gone so, even if she struck gold, it didn't matter because he could counter it .

Another full incense stick of time and Liu Yizhen started just smas.h.i.+ng the stage randomly, letting cutting winds fly in Wen Ya's direction . Wen Ya's arm muscles were tensing from tiredness and overexertion and her mistakes multiplied, sometimes she couldn't correct the course of her weapon in time .

Liu Yizhen roared and brought his war hammer down . However due to his impatience, he finally made a mistake that others could take advantage of . Wen Ya gritted her teeth and threw out her sickle again, using the chain to control it's path . Liu Yizhen's hammer hit the stage and Wen Ya's sickle hit it's target at the same time . The winds made cuts all over Wen Ya because she had gotten close in order to grab the chance . Some of the winds cut deep enough to see muscle but she still pulled on the chain and brought her sickle back to her . When it left Liu Yizhen's body, blood spurted from his right leg, deep enough to see bone . And he couldn't do anything but kneel down to accommodate his injured leg .
