Chapter 386 Secret Exposed
As the second generation god born to Zeus and the Queen of the Amazons, Diana's energy and endurance seemed to be endless even though her divine power was suppressed by her protective silver bracelet.
Ordinary training has no effect on her except a waste of time.
Lin Zhongtian realized this, so he quickly changed his strategy and shifted his focus to skills and experience training.
After seven days of short-term training, Diana mastered the basics of kendo at an astonishing speed and established solid basic skills.
Lin Zhongtian selected ten sets of sword techniques from his memory and showed them each in front of Diana.
I originally thought that little Diana would choose between the free and elegant, exquisite "Jade Girl Su Xin Sword Technique" of the Tomb School, and "Yu Xiao Sword Technique" and "Luo Ying Sword Technique" of Peach Blossom Island.
But what he never expected was that Diana would take a fancy to "Dark Iron Sword Technique" and "Dharma Sword Technique" at a glance!
The former was created by Dugu Qiubai, and paired with a black iron heavy sword, it can be opened and closed with ease.
The latter is one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, focusing on a 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 insisted on letting Lin Zhongtian teach her.
Lin Zhongtian had no choice but to build a big sword for her that did not fit her body shape and teach her the black iron sword technique.
In the process of practicing swordsmanship, Lin Zhongtian discovered that the divine power in Diana's body was gradually showing signs of being uncontrollable.
Even while practicing the Black Iron Swordsmanship one time, divine power suddenly surged out of Diana's body, causing her strength to surge instantly, and she shattered the three-meter-thick platform floor with one sword.
In order to prevent Diana from leaking her power in daily life, Lin Zhongtian taught her some methods to control her power.
He even took out the Qi training methods of the world under one person and asked Diana to choose one for practice.
Lin Zhongtian's original intention was to let Diana practice the "Quan Zhen Dan Method" so as to learn how to control the power in her body.
But Diana took a fancy to the feature of the "Golden Light Spell" that it could condense golden light into weapons, and insisted on practicing the Golden Light Spell.
Lin Zhongtian failed to withstand little Diana's coquettishness and taught her the "Golden Light Curse", but at the same time she also had to practice breath gathering techniques 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 curriculum.
Now, a month has passed.
Diana had already begun to get a glimpse of the skills in swordsmanship, and the golden light in her body was also guided by her diligent practice.
I have to say that the body of a demigod is indeed powerful.
Diana's petite body of less than 1.2 meters actually guided a huge amount of golden light that far exceeded that of the old heavenly master Zhang Zhiwei.
The rich golden light was dazzling, covering Diana's entire body.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a small sun rising from the ground.
Not only that, the innate energy guided by the "Golden Light Spell" reacted subtly with the divine power in Diana's body, causing the divine power suppressed by the protective silver bracelet to finally break out of the body.
The balance that was barely maintained under the breath gathering technique was instantly broken.
Diana didn't notice the changes in her body, and the secret was finally exposed in an accident.
…
On the beach at the southern end of Paradise Island.
Diana's head was lowered, a pair of small hands kept ravaging the hem of her skirt, and she carefully looked at the ugly Hippolyta in front of her with her peripheral vision.
Behind her was a huge rock standing on the beach, covered with broken cracks like a spider web, and dozens of Amazon female warriors surrounding the huge rock with shocked eyes.
Hippolyta's eyes swept over the broken boulders, and then fell on the silent Amazon female warriors.
"Who will tell me what is going on?"
Hippolyta spoke slowly, and the atmosphere on the beach suddenly became depressing.
Many Amazon female warriors looked at each other, but none of them spoke first.
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 sister of Queen Hippolyta, came over and said calmly: "I saw Diana watching the warriors training, so I wanted her to come and participate... …”
"Yeah?"
Hippolyta sneered: "It seems that I am not as respected an Amazon queen as I thought. Even my own sisters would betray my orders..."
Diana couldn't help but panic when she heard this, and quickly raised her head and said: "No, mother, it's me who asked for peace——"
"Diana!"
Hippolyta's gaze became commanding and stern.
Little Diana closed her mouth in grievance, lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, and even her eyes became red.
Looking at her daughter's aggrieved look, Hippolyta almost failed, but considering Diana's safety, she still hardened her heart, turned to glare at Antiope and said, "How long have you been secretly teaching her?"
"..." Antiope looked at the boulder that was broken like glass and said calmly, "It's been almost a year!"
"A year?!"
Hippolyta did not doubt that he was there, and sneered: "You are really good at hiding it from me for a year!"
Before she finished speaking, Hippolyta was suddenly stunned for a moment, because she realized that this was absolutely impossible.
In the past year, neither little Diana's reaction nor Antiope's repeated requests seemed to be fake.
If it was possible for Antiope to possess such superb acting skills, then it was absolutely impossible for little Diana, who could not even tell a lie.
Hippolyta frowned, turned to look at little Diana with her head lowered, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "Someone, take Princess Diana back to her palace!"
Two Amazon female warriors immediately came out of the queue, came to Diana, and whispered:
"Princess, come with us."
"..."
Little Diana bit her lower lip, looked at her mother with a disappointed look, and then left obediently with the two Amazon female warriors.
After little Diana walked away, Hippolyta waved her hand to dismiss the Amazons on the beach, and turned to look at Antiope, whose expression had returned to calm.
"My good sister, it seems that you still haven't given up the idea of training her..."
"You gave me no choice." Antiope shook her head and said calmly, "When Ares returns to the world, if Diana still can't fight, then it will be your dereliction of duty!"
Hippolyta shook her head: "Ares is dead."
Antiope said bitterly: "Stop taking chances!"
"You know best whether he is dead or not, we all know it!"
"Ares will definitely come back, it's just a matter of time!"
Hippolyta fell silent.
Antiope sighed: "Hippolyta, I understand your concerns, but this is the way to truly protect Diana - let her become her strongest protector!"
"..."
Hippolyta's eyes wavered.
She hesitated and said: "The more powerful Diana is, the easier it will be for Ares to find her..."
"Isn't she powerful enough now?"
Antiope interrupted Hippolyta's words with a sneer, pointing to the huge broken rock.
"Sister, open your eyes and take a good look. Just how long has passed, and Diana's power has surpassed everyone on Paradise Island, even you as the queen and me as the general!"
"She is a born warrior. You can stop her for a while, but you can never stop her for the rest of your life!"
After hearing Antiope's decisive words, Hippolyta sighed quietly.
"So... you have guessed who has been secretly training her, right?"
"Of course." Antiope sneered, "Apart from the mysterious guest who lives on Paradise Island, who else can awaken the hidden divine power in Diana's body in a short period of time?"
"..."
After hearing Antiope's words, Hippolyta glanced back in the direction of the palace with complicated eyes.
After a long silence, she sighed: "Antiope, you have done a good job and have taken on the responsibility of teaching Diana how to fight."
"Since it is destined to be this way, let Diana become a warrior..."
"Antiope, I order you, if the crown prince leaves, you must take the crown's place and train Diana in the strictest method, and it will be five times, ten times, or even a hundred times stricter than all other Amazon warriors. !”
"Understand?"
Looking at Hippolyta with a serious and stern expression, Antiope couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this 180-degree reversal of attitude.
"You...changed your mind?"
Antiope asked in surprise.
Hippolyta nodded silently in affirmation.
Antiope frowned and said, "Tell me the truth, who is that person?"
Hippolyta sighed softly: "Don't ask, I can't tell you your Majesty's identity. I can only say that if even Your Majesty decides to make Diana a warrior, then no one in this world can Prevent."
Because what he represents is the most mysterious time and destiny in the world...
Hippolyta added in her heart, then looked at Antiope and said seriously: "Remember, when the crown prince leaves Paradise Island, you must let Diana continue to become stronger, but you must not let her know who she is. What, or how she was created, I want her to have only one identity left in her memory, and that is my most beloved daughter, not the god-killing weapon used to deal with Ares!"
"Of course!"
Antiope nodded matter-of-factly.
Hippolyta's face softened slightly, and then she looked at the palace on the hill behind her with complex eyes.
Antiope can be restrained by the queen's orders, but if Lin Zhongtian decides to tell her Diana's identity, then even the Queen of Amazons will have no choice...
After thinking for a while, Hippolyta decided to have an honest talk with Lin Zhongtian.
But Hippolyta would definitely not dare to directly ask her to question Lin Zhongtian.
So she planned to play the role of a strict mother and see if she could 'force' Lin Zhongtian to come out and talk to her.
Making up her mind, Hippolyta turned and walked towards the palace.
