"I think I've covered the basics well enough. We'll stop here."
"T-Thank you…" Seo Ri'ae stammered, pressed both hands against her quivering knees. If she hadn't, she might have crumpled to the ground on the spot.
"As you know, once a martial artist reaches the level of an absolute master, they develop their own martial arts philosophy. Even if two individuals study the same martial art, each adapts and refines it to suit their own style. The best way to verify that is through actual combat."
Seo Ri'ae sighed. In the end, Baek Suryong hadn't simply taught her the latter half of the White Ice Divine Art, he first sparred with her to check her mastery of the first half.
Even though he held back significantly out of consideration for her, who had only recently recovered from qi deviation, he had put just enough pressure on her that she didn't have an easy time.
It was clear that he was a man who treated all his students equally, whether teaching or sparring. He showed no leniency just because she was older, or because she was a student's parent.
CRACK! KA-RACK!
The training ground repeatedly froze over and thawed.
