As the second generation of gods born to Zeus and the Queen of the Amazons, even though Diana's divine power was suppressed by the protective silver bracelet, her energy and endurance seemed endless.

For her, ordinary training is just a waste of time and has no effect at all.

Lin Zhongtian realized this and quickly changed his strategy, shifting his focus to training in skills and experience.

After seven days of short training, Diana mastered the basics of kendo at an astonishing speed and laid a solid foundation.

Lin Zhongtian selected ten sets of sword techniques from his memory and demonstrated them in front of Diana one by one.

I originally thought that little Diana would choose between the elegant and subtle "Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword Technique" of the Ancient Tomb School and the "Jade Flute Sword Technique" and "Fallen Flowers Sword Technique" of Peach Blossom Island.

But what he never expected was that Diana actually took a liking to the "Black Iron Sword Technique" and the "Dharma Sword Technique" at first sight!

The former was created by Dugu Qiubai. When paired with a heavy black iron sword, it can be used with great power and can lift heavy objects with ease.

The latter is one of the 72 unique skills of Shaolin Temple, focusing on being fierce and powerful.

Both of them take a tough and vigorous approach, which is completely incompatible with Diana's young and flexible figure.

But there was no way. Diana just liked this style of swordsmanship and insisted that Lin Zhongtian teach her.

Lin Zhongtian had no choice but to make a large sword for her that was not suitable for her body size and teach her the Black Iron Sword Technique.

While practicing swordsmanship, Lin Zhongtian discovered that the divine power in Diana's body gradually showed signs of being unable to be suppressed.

Even when she was practicing the Black Iron Sword Technique one time, divine power suddenly surged out of Diana's body, causing her strength to surge instantly, and with one sword she smashed the three-meter-thick platform floor into pieces.

In order to prevent Diana from revealing her power in her daily life, Lin Zhongtian taught her some methods to control her power.

He even took out the Qi training techniques from the world under One Person and let Diana choose one to practice.

Lin Zhongtian originally wanted Diana to practice the "Quanzhen Alchemy Method" so that she could learn how to control the power in her body.

But Diana was attracted by the feature of the Golden Light Spell that it could use golden light to condense into weapons, and she insisted on practicing it.

Lin Zhongtian couldn't resist little Diana's coquetry and taught her the "Golden Light Spell", but she also had to practice the method of concealing her breath and learn how to control and hide the divine power in her body.

From then on, Diana added a language course called Chinese to her daytime curriculum.

Now, a month has passed.

Diana has already gained some knowledge of swordsmanship, and the golden light in her body has been channeled out through her diligent practice.

I have to say, the body of a demigod is indeed powerful.

Diana's petite body, which was less than 1.2 meters tall, actually channeled out a huge amount of golden light that far exceeded that of the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei.

The rich golden light was dazzling, covering Diana's entire body.

From a distance, it looks like a small sun rising from the ground.

Not only that, the innate Qi guided by the "Golden Light Curse" had a subtle reaction with the divine power in Diana's body, causing the divine power suppressed by the protective silver bracelet to finally break out of the body.

The balance that was barely maintained by the Breath-Containing Technique was instantly broken.

Diana did not notice the changes in her body, and the secret was finally exposed in an accident.

…

On the beach at the southern end of Paradise Island.

Diana lowered her head, her small hands constantly twirling the hem of her skirt, and cautiously looked at Hippolyta, who had a grim expression in front of her.

Behind her was a huge rock standing on the beach, covered with spider-web-like broken cracks, and dozens of Amazon warriors surrounding the rock with shocked eyes.

Hippolyta's gaze swept across the broken boulders and then fell on the silent Amazon warriors.

"Who can tell me what is going on?"

Hippolyta spoke slowly, and the atmosphere on the beach suddenly became oppressive.

Many Amazon warriors looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

Until a female warrior with a face somewhat similar to Hippolyta came from behind.

"It's me!"

Antiope, the most powerful female warrior on Paradise Island and sister of Queen Hippolyta, came over and said calmly, "I saw Diana watching the warriors training, so I wanted her to come and participate..."

"Yeah?"

Hippolyta sneered: "It seems that I am not as respected as I thought I was. The Amazon Queen, even my own sisters betrayed my orders..."

Diana couldn't help but panic when she heard this, and quickly looked up and said, "No, mother, I asked for An--"

"Diana!"

Hippolyta's gaze became dignified and stern.

Little Diana closed her mouth in grievance, lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, and even her eyes became red.

Seeing her daughter's aggrieved look, Hippolyta almost lost her composure, but considering Diana's safety, she hardened her heart, turned her head and glared at Antiope and asked, "How long have you been secretly teaching her?"

"..." Antiope looked at the huge rock that was shattered like glass and said calmly, "It's been almost a year!"

"One year?!"

Hippolyta didn't doubt him and sneered, "You are really capable. You actually hid it from me for a whole year!"

Before she finished speaking, Hippolyta was suddenly stunned because she realized that this was absolutely impossible.

Over the past year, neither little Diana's reactions nor Antiope's repeated requests seemed fake.

If it was possible for Antiope to have such superb acting skills, then it was absolutely impossible for little Diana, who couldn't even tell a lie well.

Hippolyta frowned, turned her head and looked at little Diana who lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "Come, take Princess Diana back to her palace!"

Two Amazon female warriors immediately stepped out, came to Diana, and whispered:

"Princess, come with us."

“…”

Little Diana bit her lower lip, looked at her mother with some disappointment, and then obediently followed the two Amazon warriors away.

After little Diana walked away, Hippolyta waved her hand to dismiss the Amazons on the beach and turned to look at Antiope, whose expression had calmed down.

"My dear sister, it seems that you still haven't given up the idea of ​​training her..."

"You left me no choice." Antiope shook her head and said calmly, "If Diana still can't fight when Ares returns to the world, it will be your dereliction of duty!"

Hippolyta shook her head: "Ares is dead."

Antiope said angrily, "Don't rely on luck anymore!"

"You know best whether he is dead or not. We all know it very well!"

"Ares will definitely come back, it's just a matter of time!"

Hippolyta was silent.

Antiope sighed: "Hippolyta, I understand your concerns, but this is the real way to protect Diana - let her become her own strongest protector!"

“…”

Hippolyta's eyes wavered a little.

She hesitated and said, "The stronger Diana's power is, the easier it will be for Ares to find her..."

"Isn't her power strong enough now?"

Antiope interrupted Hippolyta with a sneer and pointed at the huge broken rock.

"Sister, open your eyes and take a good look. It has only been a short time, and Diana's power has surpassed everyone on Paradise Island, even you as the queen and me as the general!"

"She is a natural born fighter. You can stop her for a while, but you can never stop her forever!"

Hearing Antiope's decisive words, Hippolyta sighed quietly.

"So... you have guessed who has been secretly training her, right?"

"Of course." Antiope sneered, "Apart from the mysterious guest who lives in Paradise Island, who else can awaken the hidden divine power in Diana in such a short time?"

“…”

Hearing Antiope's words, Hippolyta looked back in the direction of the palace with complicated eyes.

After a long silence, she sighed and said, "Antioe, you did a good job in taking on the responsibility of teaching Diana how to fight."

"Since it is destined to be this way, let Diana become a warrior..."

"Antioe, I order you, if His Majesty leaves, you must take His Majesty's place and train Diana with the most rigorous methods. It must be five, ten, or even a hundred times stricter than all the other Amazon warriors!"

"Do you understand?"

Looking at Hippolyta's serious and stern expression, Antiope was slightly stunned when she heard these words that completely changed her attitude.

"You...changed your mind?"

Antiope asked in surprise.

Hippolyta nodded silently in affirmation.

Antiope frowned and said, "Tell me the truth, who is that His Majesty?"

Hippolyta sighed and said, "Don't ask. I cannot tell you your Majesty's identity. I can only say that if your Majesty is determined to make Diana a warrior, then no one in this world can stop you."

Because He represents the most mysterious time and destiny in the world...

Hippolyta added in her mind, and then looked at Antiope and said seriously: "Remember, when His Majesty leaves Paradise Island, you must let Diana continue to become stronger, but you must not let her know what she is, or how she was created. I want her to have only one identity left in her memory, that is, my most beloved daughter, not a weapon to kill gods against Ares!"

"Of course!"

Antiope nodded as a matter of course.

Hippolyta's expression relaxed slightly, and then she looked at the palace on the hill behind her with complicated eyes.

Antiope could use the Queen's order to restrain her, but if Lin Zhongtian decided to tell her Diana's identity, even the Queen of the Amazons would be helpless...

After some thought, Hippolyta decided to have a frank talk with Lin Zhongtian.

However, Hippolyta certainly wouldn't dare to ask Lin Zhongtian directly for questioning.

So she planned to play the role of a strict mother and see if she could "force" Lin Zhongtian to come out and talk to her.

Having made up her mind, Hippolyta turned and walked towards the palace.
