Objectives

Defeat 6 Huojin Trainees or Tushui Trainees.

• Sparring Trainees defeated (6)

Description

Facing a living opponent is a very different thing from the stationary targets in the yard. Living opponents strike back. There is the very real fear of failure and sometimes, even death.

You must have the courage to overcome those fears.

Challenge the other trainees within the temple of down the steps below, and defeat them.

Completion

Intriguing, my young pupil.

Most of the other trainees have been here for quite some time, but you are able to match them even within this first hour.

This speaks well of you, but there are yet other lessons I would see you learn.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 1
• 260 XP
• 250 reputation with Shang Xi's Academy

You will be able to choose from the following rewards
Item	Class
[Initiate's Rope Belt]	Mage  Priest
[Initiate's Braided Belt]	Warrior
[Initiate's Belt]	Hunter  Monk  Rogue  Shaman

Dialogue

Once defeated, the trainees offer the following random response:

Your skills are too great. I yield.
You fight well. I must learn more from you in the future.
You fight honorably, friend.
Thank you for reminding me that I must train more diligently.
That was a good match. Thank you.

Notes

• The Trainees can be found on all three floors of the temple.
• Master Shang Xi will appear at the temple entrance once the last Trainee is defeated for the quest turn-in.
