Hardcore Training

Twas a normal day for the Earth King as he decided to train in a public training stadium.
He walked through Ba Sing Se until he reached his destination. He walked inside and noticed there was no one there.

"Greetings Earth King Lei. Sorry, it's been a slow day, you'll have a hard time finding an opponent to train with." - Said the Owner of the Stadium

"It's quite alright, actually. I'll train solo."

"If you insist Earth King Lei, be my guest."

Lei took a few steps into the stadium, and started with some simple earth bending movements.
He lifted a few rocks, and slung them into the air high enough to take a while to come back down.

He then conjured up some large platforms, and set them up like dominoes. There were 6 platforms total.

30 seconds afterward, he pulled the first platform forward, hitting the second, then third and so on. When the last one was hit, it was coming right at him. He sat and watched. The three rocks he had lunged into the air at an earlier time hit the ground, and the platform hit the rocks causing them to sling across the stadium.

Lei then grabbed the platform the was about to crush him and put it back where it was originally.

He kept doing senseless stuff until someone entered the stadium to train with him.

What started as an average day became a great opportunity. As Diqiu walked into an average training system, passing a few men who stared at him, he heard rocks being lifted and being crushed, and overall just loud booms. Curious at what was happening, he peered into the large room and his eyes widened. It was the Earth King...the leader of the Earth Kingdom who resided in Ba Sing Se. Standing an watching in awe for a few precious moments, Diqiu then just watched as he seemed to be waiting for someone.

Feeling a bit disrespectful, though a tad spiteful, the introverted earthbender stepped up. "Good day, your majesty." His words were small and straight to the point, even though he had a rather extensive vocabulary. The shirtless, inked, dark skinned man walked in, peering at the boulders that the king had been bending. With his hilt at his side, Diqiu scratched his nappy and bushy hair, and waited for the king's response. He would not complain if he was removed from the premises, as this might have beebn the king's private training session, but he had no idea. Either way, he wouldn't mind, though he would not pass up a chance to train with him either if it was an option...

"Well hello there, stranger." - said the Earth King, greeting the man at the door.

"I've been bending for quite the time now, care to join me? Gets a tad boring solo."

The Earth King waited for the mans response.

Diqiu shook his head at the Earth King's response, asking him if he would like to bend alongside him. Taking a deep breath, he cracked a few bones before focusing his chi all around and into his right hand before slamming it hard into the earth, causing a large boulder to levitate up, and as it did so, the man would jump slightly, spinning rapidly before plowing the back of his left foot into it, and sending it over fifty feet into the air and crashing down with a large boom. After this he would pick up ten pebbles, controlling one with each finger spread out. Diqiu lifted both hands as to greet the king with a wave, but instead of speaking, waving, or smiling, he coiled his hands swiftly into clinched fists where they would all burst into dust.

Showing a halfway smile, Diqiu took a common earth-bending stance in order to show the king that it was his turn, and if he was somehow shown up by the king, then he would just come at him with something bigger and better.

The Earth King was impressed with the little show that the stranger had put on for him.

"It's going to take a lot more than that to get me, Diqui."

Lei took a rather large boulder, and crushed it into a million tiny pieces. It almost looked like dust, but what you can't see with the naked eye is that they are actually pretty sharp.

Lei flung the dust at him, and knew he slightly injured him.

Whilst Diqui would be waving the dust out of his face, Lei submerged underground.
He knew that once Diqui was alert he would be able to sense him, so he had to make it quick.

He thrusted quickly through the dust and emerged behind Diqui, and restrained his arms with rocks.

"What do you plan to do now, boy?"
