"Domain Ruler, Your fundamentals of combat improved significantly compared to a month ago," Elder Darrien said.
'What improvement? I struggled to save my body from becoming a porcupine for mere thirteen seconds.' Alex thought, looking toward the dark ceiling of the training chamber while lying in a pool of blood.
Alex was training in the basics of sword and battle every day for two hours, and he believed he had polished his existing skills by quite a lot in the last month.
So after the Rank promotion, he wanted to test his improvement against a real master and to get comfortable with his newly improved strength.
Alex had just completed his seventy-sixth test battle of the day with Elder Darrien, and the best he did was survive for thirteen seconds against three blood spears that moved way slower than his ability to see and react to them.
