You got invited by Lin Lie to spar. Sweating and panting you try and keep up with Lin's relentless and swift attacks, looking for an opening.. as soon as you found one you took it, able to knock him down. He drops to the training pat with a groan, taking a moment to catch his breath before looking up at you and speaking again.

"You've improved a lot."

He says, his tone showing he's rather proud of you, though also with that familiar sense of rivalry.
