"For starters, this is just training, so I will only use strength equivalent to yours so we can compete a little bit without it being a waste of time." Then, Annaliese began to speak about her requirements for training her brother-in-law.
"Thus, no unnecessary talking during the fight."
"If you say anything while we are fighting that is irrelevant to your combat ability, I will stop immediately and not train with you again. All right?"
Lothur continued stretching as he listened to her, "OK."
"Good."
"Besides, since this is training, we can't use rules like those from before." She looked at him meaningfully, showing more confidence than she had done in the past few days. "Let's have our friendly match like cultivators normally do."
She then pointed to the markings on the ground in that small training area in this courtyard and continued. "You see those markings? Well, if one of us steps outside that big circle, that person will immediately lose the match."
