Chapter 385: Secrets Exposed
As the second generation of gods born to Zeus and the Amazon Queen, Diana's energy and endurance seem to be endless even if she is suppressed by the guardian silver bracelet in her body.
Ordinary training doesn't do anything for her except to waste time.
Realizing this, Lin quickly shifted his strategy to focus on skills and experience.
After seven days of short training, Diana mastered the basics of kendo at an astonishing speed and laid a solid foundation.
Lin Zhongtian selected ten sets of swordsmanship from his memory and showed them in front of Diana.
I thought that little Diana would choose between the chic and elegant and subtle Tomb School's "Jade Girl Suxin Sword Technique" and Peach Blossom Island's "Jade Xiao Sword Technique" and "Luoying Sword Technique".
But what he never expected was that Diana actually took a fancy to "Xuantie Swordsmanship" and "Dharma Swordsmanship" at a glance!
The former was created by Dugu to seek defeat, with a dark iron heavy sword, wide opening and closing, and lifting weights as lightly.
The latter is one of the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple, focusing on a strong and powerful one.
Both of them took a fierce route, which was completely incompatible with Diana's young and flexible figure.
But there was no way, Diana just fell in love with this style of swordsmanship, and she had to let Lin Zhongtian teach her.
Lin Zhongtian had no choice but to build a big sword that did not fit her body type and teach her Xuantie swordsmanship.
In the process of practicing swordsmanship, Lin Zhongtian found that the divine power in Diana's body gradually showed signs that it could not be suppressed.
Even when practicing the Xuantie Sword Technique, divine power suddenly poured out of Diana's body, causing her power to skyrocket instantly, and a sword smashed the three-meter-thick platform floor.
In order to prevent Diana from leaking her power in her daily life, Lin Zhongtian taught her some methods of controlling power.
He even took out the Qi Gong method of practicing the world under one person and asked Diana to choose one to practice by herself.
Lin Zhongtian's original intention was to let Diana practice the "Quanzhen Dan Method" so that she could learn how to control the power in her body.
But Diana took a fancy to the fact that "Golden Light Mantra" can be condensed into a weapon with golden light, and insisted on cultivating the Golden Light Mantra.
Lin Zhongtian failed to resist little Diana's coquettishness and taught her the "Golden Light Mantra", but she also had to practice the method of breathing and learn how to control and hide the divine power in her body.
Since then, Diana has added a language class called Chinese to her daytime lessons.
Now, a month has passed.
Diana had already had a first glimpse of swordsmanship, and the golden light in her body was also guided out by her diligent cultivation.
I have to say that the body of a demigod is indeed powerful.
Diana's petite body, which was only less than one meter two, actually guided a huge amount of golden light far beyond that of the old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei.
The rich golden light was dazzling, covering Diana's entire body.
From afar, it looks like a small sun rising from the ground.
Not only that, the innate Yiqi guided by the "Golden Light Mantra" had a subtle reaction with the divine power in Diana's body, so that the divine power suppressed by the guardian silver bracelet finally broke out of the body.
The balance that had been barely maintained under the breathing exercise was instantly broken.
Diana does not notice the changes in her body and finally exposes her secret during an unexpected incident.
……
On the beach at the southern tip of Paradise Island.
Diana's head was lowered, her small hands were constantly ravaging the corners of her skirt, and her eyes cautiously looked at the ugly Hippolyta in front of her.
Behind her, a huge rock standing on the beach, covered in cobweb-like cracks, and dozens of Amazonian warriors surrounded the boulder with shocked eyes.
Hippolyta's gaze swept over the shattered boulder and then fell on the silent Amazonian warrioress.
"Who's going to tell me what the hell is going on?"
Hippolyta spoke slowly, and the atmosphere on the beach suddenly became oppressive.
Many Amazonian female warriors looked at each other, but they did not take the lead to speak.
Until a female warrior with a face somewhat similar to Hippolyta came from behind.
"It's me!"
Antiope, the most powerful female warrior on Paradise Island and the sister of Queen Hippolyta, came over and said calmly: "I saw Diana watching the soldiers train, so I wanted her to come and participate in it......"
"Really?"
Hippolyta sneered: "It seems that I am not a respected Amazon queen as I think I am, and even my own sisters will betray my orders......"
Diana couldn't help but panic when she heard this, and quickly looked up and said, "No, mother, it's me who asks for Ann-"
"Diana!"
Hippolyta's gaze became majestic and stern.
Little Diana closed her mouth aggrievedly, hung her head as if she had done something wrong, and even her eyes became rosy.
Looking at her daughter's aggrieved appearance, Hippolyta almost broke the effort, but considering Diana's safety, she still hardened her heart, turned her head and glared at Antiope: "How long have you been teaching her secretly?" ”
"......" Antiope looked at the boulder shattered like glass, and said lightly, "It's been almost a year!" ”
"A year?!"
Hippolyta did not doubt him, and sneered: "You are so good at it, you can hide it from me for a year!" ”
Before she could finish speaking, Hippolyta was stunned for a moment, for she found that this was impossible.
Over the past year, neither the reaction of little Diana nor Antiope's repeated requests seem to be fake.
If Antiope could still have such superb acting skills, then little Diana, who couldn't even tell a lie, would never be possible.
Hippolyta frowned, turned her head to look at little Diana, who was bowing her head, groaned slightly, and said lightly: "Come on, take Princess Diana back to her palace!" ”
The two Amazonian female warriors suddenly came out of the ranks, came to Diana's side, and said softly:
"Princess, come with us."
“……”
Little Diana bit her lower lip lightly, glanced at her mother with some disappointment, and then obediently followed the two Amazonian female warriors away.
When little Diana was gone, Hippolyta waved away the Amazons on the beach and turned to look at Antiope, who looked calm.
"My good sister, it seems that you still haven't given up on the idea of training her......"
"You're the one who left me with no choice." Antiope shook his head and said calmly, "When Ares returns to the world, if Diana can't fight, it will be a remiss of your duty!" ”
Hippolyta shook her head: "Ares is dead. ”
Antiope hated iron and said, "Don't be lucky! ”
"Whether he is dead or not, you know best, we all know very well!"
"Ares will definitely return, it's just a matter of time!"
Hippolyta fell silent.
Antiope sighed: "Hippolyta, I understand your concerns, but this is the real way to protect Diana - make herself her strongest protector!" ”
“……”
Hippolyta's gaze faltered.
She hesitated, "The stronger Diana's power is, the easier it will be for Ares to find her......"
"Isn't she strong enough now?"
Antiope interrupted Hippolyta's words with a sneer, and reached out to the massive broken rock.
"Sister, open your eyes and take a good look, it's only been a long time, and Diana's strength has surpassed everyone on Paradise Island, even you as a queen and me as a general!"
"She is a natural warrior, you can stop her for a while, but you will never stop her for a lifetime!"
Hearing Antiope's categorical words, Hippolyta sighed faintly.
"So...... You can guess who has been secretly training her, right? ”
"Of course." Antiope sneered, "Aside from that mysterious guest living on Paradise Island, who else can awaken the hidden divine power in Diana's body in a short period of time?" ”
“……”
Hearing Antiope's words, Hippolyta glanced back in the direction of the palace with a complicated look.
After a long silence, she sighed, "Antiope, you have done a good job of teaching Diana to fight. ”
"Since it was meant to be so, let Diana be a warrior......"
"Antiope, I command you, if Your Majesty leaves, you shall take the place of Your Crown, and train Diana in the strictest way, and five, ten, or even a hundred times stricter than all the other Amazonian warriors!"
"Understood?"
Looking at Hippolyta, who looked serious and stern, and hearing this one hundred and eighty degree reversal of attitude, Antiope couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"You...... Changed your mind? ”
Antiope asked in surprise.
Hippolyta nodded silently in affirmation.
Antiope frowned, "Tell me the truth, who is that crown?" ”
Hippolyta sighed lightly: "Don't ask, I can't tell you the identity of the crown, I can only say that if even the crown decides to make Diana a warrior, then no one in this world can stop it." ”
Because what He represents is the most mysterious time and destiny in the world......
Hippolyta added in her heart, and then looked at Antiope and said seriously: "Remember, when that crown leaves Paradise Island, you must let Diana continue to grow stronger, but you must not let her know what she really is, or how she was created, I want to leave only one identity in her memory, that is, my beloved daughter, not a god-killing weapon used against Ares!" ”
"Of course!"
Antiope nodded as a matter of course.
Hippolyta's face softened slightly, and then she looked at the palace on the hill behind her with a complicated gaze.
Antiope could be restrained by the queen's orders, but if Lin Zhongtian decided to tell her Diana's identity, then even the queen of the Amazons could not do anything......
After a little thought, Hippolyta decided to talk openly and honestly with Lin Zhongtian.
But if she asked Lin Zhongtian directly, Hippolyta would definitely not dare.
So she plans to play the role of Yan's mother and see if she can 'force' Lin Zhongtian to come out and talk to her.
Having made up her mind, Hippolyta turned and walked towards the palace.
