With the knowledge he obtained from the scrolls that entered his mind, Emery executed the techniques he had just learned against the level 8 combat puppet.
Of course, having the knowledge of a technique was not the same as actually knowing how to perform it. Emery tried to execute the [Weeping Phantom] as best as he could, but his attempts ended in failure.
He lacked practice. One wrong move would ruin the flow of the technique, whether it was his steps or the sword variation. Due to that, his attacks failed so many times, and Emery was defeated over and over again.
Meanwhile, Master Xion was just sitting on the side of the arena floor in a lotus position, gradually healing his wounds, while occasionally opening his eyes to glance at Emery's current progress.
After a dozen attempts, all ended in failure, his master told Emery to stop, rest and meditate. He should learn from his losses while recuperating his body.
