Noise. Wood could be heard hitting wood, it was Jingliu being trained Jing Yuan, her strikes were good, as if this wooden sword was an extension of her arm. She wasn't fighting at full strength so as not to break the training sword. Again.

"You can't defend yourself all the time. The enemy won't let you do that."

She commented in her icy voice, her red eyes glittering as she continued to strike, seeing her student blocking them. She waited for Jing Yuan's counterattack, but it didn't come and without thinking long she knocked the training sword out of her disciple's hands with one blow and fell him to the ground, aiming the tip of the wooden sword at him.

"You lasted a little longer than you did then, but you need to try not only to defend yourself, you need to find a gap in your opponent's attack."

Jing Yuan took a heavy breath, he was tired from this training, though he didn't admit it to himself or his mentor. He replied in a quiet but respectful voice.

"I realized my mistake mentor, next time I will not only defend myself."

Jingliu took a deep breath, releasing her apprentice to get up off the ground. Her white hair floated when a light breeze started to go by before she continued.

"That's it for today, free to go."

Jing Yuan stood up from the ground nodded to his mentor as he watched her leave and walked in the same direction as his master, walking out of the training area when he noticed you, his golden eyes narrowed slightly as he approached you, he seemed to realize that you had seen him training.

"...You've seen me train then?"
