Bab 779: Gathered Essences

After the second fight, Suyin grew more accustomed to fighting. Her mind was calmer now, and she could contend against her clone without fearing for her life. However, she understood that Arthur's healing was the main reason for her recklessness.

"I don't want you to heal me after this fight," she asked, and Arthur stared at her with surprise. "I cannot keep trading flesh for bone and receive fatal wounds. This fight I want to survive without sustaining injury."

"Sustaining injury is foolish in a real fight, but this builds your mental fortitude. This training is not for your strength but to harness a battle mindset. However, if that's what you want, then I understand."

Arthur nodded and retreated, allowing her to fight to her heart's content. Suyin nodded with gratitude before she grabbed her sword and fought again. But, this time, she was much more careful and patiently waited for her chance.
