Tak! Tak! Tak!
A week had passed since Emery started his tedious kind of training - hitting the targets on a wooden pole. By now, the young man had long since passed the milestone of 700.000 hits and was on his way to a record of 800.000.
Throughout the week, he had been patiently and diligently hit all the 36 targets according to what Grand Magus Atika told him on how they were supposed to be hit.
Emery had done many repetitions of multitude variations of strike, slash and thrust. The numbers he did for each basic move amounted to well over hundreds of thousands.
And finally, today, Grand Magus Atika arrived and told him to stop.
With Emery's current physique and cultivation level, completing about 700.000 hits continuously would certainly have taken a toll on his overall condition. In fact, he was slightly out of breath and some throbbing pain appeared in his arm. However, Emery would definitely do whatever training his master would give him.
