I swept around around again, this time kicking it's head with a double kick. I jumped on it and started pounding the hell out of it. This dummy was useless and I was getting bored of it now. I had to kill the damn thing...why wouldn't it just give up and die. Damn thing. If i ever faced an opponent like this...i would have to rip it to shreds. I head butted the golem no matter how much it hurt me the fact was the endorphins were now active and I was going through this pain without feeling it now because it was so intense. I had lost track so much that when I looked at my hands again they were a bloody mess and I had to go clean them in the water fall before changing round and kicking the monster.

I gave the golem an uppercut before driving my knee into it's stomach and trying to lift it up. I was succeeding too. I eventually found that my own style was developing and that all my attacks were just starting to flow no matter what I did it was like water, and that was my style. I fought coldly and mercilessly, striking at all the weakpoints the golem had. Repeatedly. I was striking them twice just to get extra impact out of it.

I carried on with my routine. I struck again and again at the ever defending monster. I wondered just about when it would be my turn to start defending against the monster but I doubted any time soon as I carried on striking repeatedly.
I kicked it's head again before kicking it's pelvis and then it's abdomen.

I made my next move quite effortless in appearence, but I was actually putting quite a chunk of momentum into the kick I was driving into it's chest.
I flew forwards in the air and suddenly it grabbed me and spun me off. I was shocked.
"...Eh!" I said turning to it as I landed. It transformed into what looked to be a golem still, but it was lighter, obviously faster but no where near as strong.
"This is the next stage of your training dear child. It will be useless to evade, but you now have to block every attack or suffer painful bruises. The attack levels will get slowly faster as you progress, though I expect you will become faster in your guarding abilities. Begin!" The totem said and moved away as the Golem leapt forwards with a straight punch to my chest. So I had to guard and defend...shouldn't be too hard.
I tried to knock the punch to the side so that it avoided me. It was successful. Yet it was coming already with a second attack.
"Dammit!" I muttered and started my training.

The brought it's knee up between my legs. I had to move and fast to avoid this blow. Yet i didn't instead I drove my elbow down in order to stop the blow coming up towards me. This Golem was faster than me so I knew that trying to escapefrom it would be useless at the moment.

It changed direction jumped back slightly and swept low causing me to jump up out of it's path, however, it seemed to have other minds and swept around bringing a horizontal kick to my chest. Damned thing. There was little I could do, yet I drove my leg down, just above the golem's kick into it' lower knee. Almost an intercepting strike. If only I had managed to get more momentum out of it.

The golem didn't stop there though and soon I was exchanging kicks in order to stop it getting the advantage with the legs. Now I just had to contend with the super fast arms and hands. This was such a different experience defending against something that I was far used to attacking.

It suddenly slammed it's fist towards my shouler. I feinted to the right, narrowly avoiding the blow, but it was faster and with it's left knee brought up a blow to my side. I drove my arm down quickly as I was thrown to the otherside of the room, thankfully I had gotten my arm down in time, or I would have been crushed.

It was far faster than I had actually anticipated and before I knew it it was driving a reverse heel somersault onto my head. I raised my hands in order to block it. The golem made contact and it was strong too, so much so that I was almost struggling to hold it. However I held it enough that it flipped back and ran at me.

I barely had time to stand up before I was blocking another kick from my side with my arm. It was intelligent...it was trying to break me and get an advantage by forcing me to where it wanted me to go. As it swung it's fist to my face again I deflected it with a palm strike and ducked under the next blow from the other fist.

It then round housed me as I was caught almost unaware. I ducked so that I was low to the ground, yet the kick still made impact and the only thing that stopped major damage apart from being tossed to the other side of the room was the fact that I had my arm up to block the attack.

Now I could feel my arms starting to swell up with the bruising it was taking and it was something I didn't want to keep happening, yet it seemed this was my training as it came at me again kicking me up as if I were a foot ball. I flew through the air and in the nick of time twisted and blocked a blow from below, sending the golem straight back to the ground. I followed it back down.

I was barely able to block it's next sweep but I did, by kneeling on the ground to support my leg. I was thankful this wasn't actually a strong golem, but it was enough, enough to train me up. All that time training in the Han tower and here I was unable to even land a damaging punch onto the golem. Yet it had been letting me damage it earlier, even though I wasn't having much success.

I hopped on the ground and I was barely touching the ground now between blocks as I swept up and attacked, seeing that offence seemed to be the best defense at the moment. I struck up at his blow attacking the golem with all I had. The golem responded by increasing it's speed much more than I had anticpated and struck back with a stomach punch which I had to deliver a knee strike to in order to block and deflect it.

It kept coming at me and I had to keep attacking it since it wasn't letting up. It's eyes were cold as if this level of attack wasn't even bothering it, if that was the case, then how was I going to block it's final attack. I punched another blow away from me and then switched around on a roundhouse in order to block the golems high kick. The totem seemed to be impressed since it was smiling...as much as a stonefaced totem can.
