Long Tao adopted the new practicing schedule immediately. The avatars and even the one accompanying the convoy started wearing a whole set of those. The major components that Long Tao used were breastplate, arm and wrist guard, knee guard, and shoes. The additional weight made him uncomfortable for the brighter part of the day. But he kept on accommodating the new equipment.
The core strength building training, which was purely physical was difficult then it used to be. But Long Tao persisted. Then came the weapon training, which major concentrated on swinging the weapon while being in a still position. Long Tao chose the exercise to build up his arm muscle and strength and create more stamina. The strike's power control was a real issue in his case. He continued the weapon training for a long time. The second phase was finally over after numerous swings of all the weapons.
