The black-haired woman had shown up from time to time during the past few months, and Alex now knew more than well that it wasn't just to fight him. There was something very precise that she wanted from him, something he either didn't have or wasn't considering just yet.
For some reason, she expected it to be brought forth through fighting, so that was all he could do. Although, truth be told, he was quite happy to fight her. His Sword Heart was steadily improving, and at this rate, he would very soon have reached a state where he could proudly proclaim that he had learned Sword Heart.
Sword Heart wasn't all that Alex trained with her for. Given that she was a strong opponent he didn't have to worry about killing, he gave his all to fight her, expending his Qi at a rate that wasn't possible in any other way.
