The training hall of Dawn Castle is located in the middle of the north and south wings, and is usually used as a place for daily training for the palace guards.
In their spare time, most guards' entertainment is to practice their skills in the training ground. This is also an activity encouraged by Demacia and is very popular among the nobles.
It was still early, and there were only a few people practicing in the dance hall.
They nodded and greeted the steward who had just arrived from a distance, and then continued their training.
Li Lin and Zhao Xin stood next to the weapon rack on one side of the hall. There were not many weapons for training on it. Most of them were daggers, short swords, rapiers, heavy swords and spears, which were relatively uniform.
These weapons are silver-white in color with blue handles. They have an elegant appearance and a simple and plain design without any excessive decoration.
In the martial arts training ground divided into blocks, there are many wooden training dummies of different sizes and shapes, or sandbags filled with sand.
Because Li Lin said that he only mastered basic fighting skills, Zhao Xin felt a little embarrassed and decided to give him some courtesy in the upcoming competition.
But Li Lin said that even if that was the case, Zhao Xin might not be able to beat him, and he didn't seem to be bragging, which aroused his curiosity and desire to win.
He clearly knew that his own military prowess was among the best in the entirety of Demacia, yet he still managed to utter such somewhat arrogant words...
Zhao Xin placed his three-clawed spear on the weapon rack while he was lost in thought.
Although his foremost skill was with the spear, like many warriors he dabbled in other types of weapons, including bare-handed combat.
Since Li Lin is only good at fighting, it would be inappropriate for him to use weapons, so it cannot be called a sparring match.
Zhao Xin glanced at Li Lin. "Let me help you put on the training armor."
Unexpectedly, Li Lin shook his head and said, "No need."
"Can……"
Before he could say anything to persuade him, he was surprised to find that Li Lin's clothes suddenly changed, like the dense and tiny scales of a dragon, they quickly decomposed and reassembled to form a new style, exactly the same as the armor on the shelf.
In fact, Li Lin does not need such armor. His superpower of "Iron Body" is enough.
However, in order to make Zhao Xin feel more comfortable fighting with him and not have to be too cautious, he still scanned the armor and changed the shape of the clothes.
Beside him, Zhao Xin was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but he could sense that this was not magic, because he himself had cultivated Ioni's "spiritual power" and was very sensitive to it.
Noticing the surprise of the people around him, Li Lin turned around and smiled at him, "Nanotechnology, you can simply understand it as being more advanced than Hextech."
For Xin Zhao, the awkward word "nano" is difficult to understand, but knowing that it is more powerful than Hextech is enough.
"To think there are such miraculous non-magical things in this world." He sighed in amazement. "I've spent over a decade poring over various Demacia documents, and I thought I knew everything about the world... but it seems I'm still a frog in a well, completely ignorant."
"Master General, there is no need to be so self-deprecating."
The two talked as they walked towards a training ground nearby.
“Nanotechnology is also my latest technology. Although it has a wide range of applications in the future, at this stage, I am the only one who can use it.
"Even Professor Heimerdinger, one of the founders of Piltover, the dean of our Piltover University and a leading scientist, didn't understand this technology."
Zhao Xin had heard of the name Heimerdinger. It was said that he had made a lot of contributions to the research and development of Hextech.
Not only that, he seems to be a Yordle, the same race as Admiral Poppy.
Zhao Xin stood on the other side of the training ground opposite Li Lin, as if he suddenly thought of something.
"I heard from Your Highness that you used a special method to heal the guards who were blinded by magic. Is that the technique?"
"Indeed, I originally wanted to perform a similar operation on your Highness's former aide-de-camp, Ted, to help him regrow his severed arm, but he refused."
Zhao Xin was silent for a moment. "Ted was a stubborn man with dignity. He must have felt that being captured was a stain on his life, and wanted to keep the severed arm as a reminder."
Li Lin nodded silently, not intending to continue on this somewhat heavy topic. "Shall we begin?"
"Don't you need to warm up?" Zhao Xin kindly reminded him. "I've already been training for a while, so I don't need to. But if you don't warm up first, you might cramp or strain your muscles during the fight."
"Thank you, but I don't think I need it." Li Lin waved his hand and stretched. "I ran around a lot last night looking for Zuo Yin. It's a good time to stretch my muscles."
It's that Twilight Star Spirit...
Zhao Xin suddenly realized and remembered the little incident that happened at the banquet last night.
It seems that Miss Zuo Yin didn't come back with you?
He still had some doubts in his mind, but out of personal responsibility, he would not ask such questions.
"In that case, I'll pay more attention."
Zhao Xin took a deep breath and lowered his center of gravity, assuming an offensive and defensive fighting stance, his expression becoming serious.
"Will you strike first or should I?"
"I have always believed that the best defense is offense."
"Alright!" Zhao Xin smiled broadly. Li Lin's words echoed his own philosophy. "Determination to break through the enemy lines, even to the death! This is exactly the kind of momentum we need!"
