To ensure Xueyan's team took training seriously, Linda decided that for every mistake they made, their captain, Liya, would have to do a push-up while carrying her on her back. This was a double humiliation for Liya, both physically and in terms of her dignity.
Upon hearing this, Lia perked up and glared at everyone menacingly, as if to say, "Anyone who dares to make a mistake will be in for a world of hurt."
That evening, Lia, humiliated, did 783 push-ups while carrying Linda on all fours, under the condition that she was forbidden from using her fighting spirit.
When Linda got up, his pants were soaked with sweat from Leah's waist.
"Next time, I'll do lower than that number!"
In the training field, Lia's unwilling voice echoed endlessly.
Because it was too late, all the other members of Xueyan's team had left, leaving only the people from Luanweihua and Liya.
"Your eyes... are they healed?" Linda asked, wiping the back of her backside with a towel with disgust and glancing sideways at Leah's face as she removed her blindfold.
Leah's expression softened, and she fidgeted with a strand of hair framing her forehead. "You noticed? I thought..."
"With such a big blindfold, even someone who isn't blind could see it, right?" Linda was speechless.
"Come here, let me take a look."
"You think you can just tell me to go over there and I'll go? Who do you think you are?"
Lia wanted to argue back, but Linda suddenly walked over.
She was resting on the ground when Linda's tall figure suddenly enveloped her, and one hand grabbed her cheek.
What are they trying to do?
Leah's heart pounded, her eyes darting away. But Linda pulled her even closer, and she almost bumped into her.
"What do you want to do!" Leah shouted in a panic.
Linda didn't answer. She lifted the eyelid of Leah's left eye and looked carefully inside.
Sure enough, a faint red flame flashed by.
Linda muttered to herself: I've finally awakened the 'Sparkling Battle Qi'.
He released Leah: "It's alright. Your eyes are recovering quite well."
"Huh? You dragged me over there just for this?"
"Otherwise, what for?"
"I thought..."
As Lia spoke, her face flushed red, and she couldn't utter a single word.
"etc."
"You know the reason behind the change in my eyes?"
Leah finally realized what was happening.
She had just been injured, and when she saw Linda, Linda acted indifferent.
Did Linda actually know her eyes would be fine, so she didn't ask her at the time?
"You knew all along that my eyes would recover, and you also knew what that pure fire-type battle qi in my body was?" Lia stood up anxiously.
"Who knows?"
Linda said vaguely, "Anyway, it's a good thing. You should just focus on your cultivation."
In fact, the flame within Lia's body is called Starfire Battle Qi, which is a necessary condition for changing to the Starfire Swordsman class.
In the mid-game, a level 40 Lia possesses combat power comparable to a five-star character.
The reason lies in the Starfire Swordsman class.
According to the original game storyline, Lia awakened a trace of Starfire Battle Qi at level 20.
However, Linda's joining Xueyan caused Liya to awaken at level 28.
He worried that if Leah knew about the existence of Starfire Battle Qi, she would become arrogant and conceited.
Therefore, they kept it a secret.
"Let's not talk about that. You should have fulfilled my conditions by now, right?"
Linda checked the time; it was 7 p.m.
"Happy New Year."
A short while later, Isa arrived at the training hall and greeted them with a faint smile.
Isa was dressed in a simple swordsman's outfit, with black trousers that perfectly accentuated her beautiful thigh lines, and her silver hair flowing behind her.
Because of her cultivation of ice-type battle qi, the temperature around Isa was lower than in other places, making her like a mobile human-shaped freezer.
Linda heard from Fanice that in the summer she would stuff juice under Isa's clothes and chill it for a while; it was creamy and delicious, and she recommended that Linda try it too.
At that moment, feeling the cold air emanating from the girl, Linda's thoughts drifted for a moment.
Perhaps because she was just one step away from level 30, Isa's battle aura was in a boiling, unstable state, with cold white mist emanating from her body. It wouldn't be surprising if she advanced to the Star Rank at any moment.
Linda and Lia were both a little envious.
Star rank is the ultimate goal for most adventurers in White Dove City.
Let's talk about the reason for Isa's arrival.
The three of them discussed it on the night of the Winter Solstice.
Linda entrusted Leah and Isa to be her swordsmanship instructors.
His swordsmanship is only at the level of an ordinary adventurer and urgently needs improvement.
Linda would provide strategies to Xueyan and Binghua when needed, and she would ask them for help in improving her swordsmanship.
Facing Linda, who was gripping her wooden sword, Isa said with a serious expression, "I won't hold back. Even in training, I'll give it my all."
Leah said, "Me too! I'll make you pay for all the suffering I endured during the day!"
"bring it on."
Linda stretched her limbs. "If you're not strict enough, I'll be disappointed."
...
From 7 p.m. until midnight, Linda spent her time in a purgatory of extremes, both hot and cold.
Isa's teaching style leans towards the academic approach, meticulously pointing out where Linda's movements are incorrect, how to exert force, and the angle of her sword swing.
Sometimes, Linda would have to repeat a simple stab hundreds of times before Issa was even slightly satisfied.
Lia, on the other hand, is self-taught and relies purely on instinct, often coming up with techniques that even Isa hadn't noticed.
"That's not how you wield a sword. You should feel it with your heart and treat it like your partner!"
"The angle is wrong too. If this were a real fight, I would have knocked you down dozens of times."
