"Thank you!" Lin Dongxue said earnestly.
"It's nothing. Just practice more. And the most important thing is, don't show your enemies any mercy," Tang Yan reminded her with a smile.
Looking at Tang Yan's bright smile, Lin Dongxue grew a little dazed and could not help asking curiously, "Did your master teach you all those combat techniques you mentioned earlier?"
"Yes." Tang Yan nodded.
"Your master is amazing!" Lin Dongxue exclaimed in admiration. Shaking off her earlier dejection, she declared with renewed vigor, "Once I've rested, I'll find some more spirit beasts to practice on!"
"Don't bother resting." Tang Yan took two porcelain bottles from inside his robes and handed them over. "These are High Spirit Pills. They restore your stamina quickly. Take one, and you'll only need a short rest."
Seeing Tang Yan casually toss over two bottles, Lin Dongxue assumed they were merely ordinary first-grade pills. Besides, each bottle held quite a few pills, so they presumably could not be too precious.

"You're wasting a second-tier elixir just to save this little bit of time?" Lin Dongxue forced her already wide eyes a little wider.
"Hurry up and take it. The Eastern Region Tournament is almost here. We don't have much time!" Tang Yan urged.
