In the Martial Arts Arena, over a dozen new disciples were sweating profusely, repeatedly slapping the water in the clay pots.
By their sides, the ground was littered with shattered pieces of pottery.
In the Wooden Man Room, in front of each wooden dummy stood a young boy, whose palm strikes produced a constant dull sound upon the fish-skin.
Their palms were swollen and bloody, yet they all gritted their teeth and persevered.
As time went by, the differences in talent and ability became undeniably apparent among these young disciples!
Meanwhile, in the adjacent training room, Zhang Yuan was learning the Wave-Cutting Saber Technique under Dong Yuanwei's guidance.
The Wave-Slaying Saber of the Furious Whale Gang was renowned, reputedly founded by the first Gang Leader Dong Zhuohang, and had been continually refined over the centuries by expert saber practitioners, becoming a martial art that every Battle Hall disciple had to master.
