"Oh, one more thing. You are not allowed to use your own weapon in this test." Elder Tantai added, and she pointed to the weapon rack not far in the distance and continued, "Use one of those."

"Are there any questions?"

One of the disciples there raised his hand and said, "We can use any technique we want, right?"

Elder Tantai nodded, "That's right."

Sometime later, after the questions, Elder Tantai said, "If you wish to challenge the training puppet, step forward."

A few seconds after Elder Tantai's words, a disciple at the peak Spirit Apprentice stepped forward and spoke loudly, "I will go first!"

He then went to pick up a spear from the weapon rack before coming back and approaching the training puppet.

The disciple stood a few steps in front of the training puppet and took a moment to prepare himself.

After taking a long and deep breath, the disciple raised his spear.
