In the morning Ting was called and asked to choose his teacher, he then thought for a moment and chose the elder whom he fought yesterday, which was to everyone's surprise.
He was then asked as to why he had come to the decision, he then just replied that she is strong and inserts that yesterday fight if she was serious about it he will be beaten easily. and also in his mind thinking of maybe she can help as she saw through him at a glance.
the head then asked the elder her opinion in which she said yes, which shocked everyone because she has never took any disciples and Ting probably his first disciple.
The head then said to Ting that he is a lucky person and it seems fate is with you, telling him that the elder name is Cixi, the youngest elder in the academy, not only that she is the youngest in the top master in the whole kingdom, bearing the title of 'saint of warrior'. which made Ting shocked hearing upon it but he instead bow and pay respect as his teacher.
Then the meeting was over and Cixi took him to see the academy and went to the place Ting was going to stay in a small house in the middle of the forest. where no one is to be seen except for animals, plants, trees, rivers, etc. which make Ting happy to the surprise of Cixi, when asked he said that it make him feel like home.
As they were talking Ting said that he has something to tell his master, before he even finished speaking she said that she knows what he is going to say so no need, Ting was confused and said you know, she said aren't you going to talk about having the title of saint, I know already so no need said Cixi. instead let's talk about your inner strength,
Ting face brightened and asked she knows how to make him gain it and telling her that even if it's going to be long way he will practice diligently and gain quickly.
But Cixi said he doesn't need to gain, and he already has but it's just that it is blocked. that's why he cannot use it.
