Chapter 1422 The apprentice is helpless

Cultivation takes no time.

Lin Mu personally taught Xiao Qingmei how to practice swordsmanship, and matched Xiao Qingmei's strength to compete with her.

But two months later, Xiao Qingmei was defeated by Lin Mu within three moves without exception.

Every time, it was extremely easy.

If it were a cultivator with a weaker mind, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the courage to continue practicing.

At almost the same level of cultivation, it doesn't matter that he has never been able to win. The important thing is that he has never been able to cross the threshold of three moves.

This was because Lin Mu limited his strength to the same level as Xiao Qingmei.

If Lin Mu used his spiritual consciousness at the golden elixir stage and used his sword intention, Xiao Qingmei would not be able to withstand even one move.

Lin Mu restricted himself in various conditions. He didn't even have actual sword skills. He could completely restrain Xiao Qingmei with just sword moves.

At the beginning, Xiao Qingmei was still full of fighting spirit.

Every time she competed with Lin Mu, she tried her best. Later, when she knew the gap between her and Lin Mu, she even stopped holding back and started trying her best.

But still to no avail.

She also tried, not caring about the rapid depletion of spiritual power, and continued to use sword skills in succession, but it also didn't help.

Lin Mu was like the vast ocean, and she was a small boat in the sea. No matter how hard she struggled, she was just a small wave to the vast ocean.

Although Xiao Qingmei's crazy attack could not last three rounds in Lin Mu's hands, her progress was extremely rapid.

Every time she failed, she was able to learn some skills and experience, timing, etc. from Lin Mu.

Because the strength Lin Mu used was on the same level as hers.

She was also able to perform all the tricks used by Lin Mu.

But after practicing like this for two months, Xiao Qingmei was able to perform five consecutive sword attacks. Her fighting skills had improved a lot compared to two months ago, but she still couldn't survive three attacks in Lin Mu's hands. round.

Perhaps because her lovesickness was too strong, she suddenly changed her fighting style.

He no longer fought against Lin Mu, but started to defend hard, trying to prevent Lin Mu's three attacks.

She even gave up her intention to attack completely and only thought about defense.

After three consecutive sparring sessions, Lin Mu's mood became heavier and heavier.

By the fourth time, Xiao Qingmei was still passively defensive, but Lin Mu could no longer hold back and stopped attacking.

"Are you scared?"

Lin Mu looked at Xiao Qingmei and asked seriously.

"What's wrong, master?"

Lin Mu's tone was extremely stern, Xiao Qingmei asked cautiously.

"You disappoint me so much!"

Lin Mu said bluntly, "If you want to go back, go back now."

This was the first time Lin Mu was so harsh.

Xiao Qingmei was at a loss and suddenly panicked.

"Master, what did I do wrong? Can't I correct it?"

Xiao Qingmei said with tears in her eyes.

She was really frightened.

Lin Mu looked at Xiao Qingmei who was at a loss and sighed inwardly. Xiao Qingmei was still a child after all.

Is it too early for him to be so harsh?

However, he didn't want Xiao Qingmei to go further and further down this road.

Trying his best to calm down his anger, Lin Mu suppressed his anger and said, "Sword cultivator is to move forward indomitably and fight attack with attack!"

"When you lose the courage to attack the opponent and just think about defense, you are not far from death!"

Lin Mu's tone became stern again, "If you lose this spirit, you will only shrink back when you encounter difficulties in the way of swordsmanship, and it will be difficult to achieve any great achievements."

"But, I have beaten you."

Xiao Qingmei said aggrievedly, "Is there something wrong with defense?"

"There's nothing wrong with defense!"

Lin Mu said, "When fighting with others, each other will have attacks and defenses. It is impossible for you to suppress your opponent all the time, unless the strength gap between the two sides is too big, but if you are completely defensive and completely give up the attack, then there is a big problem. "

"Are you afraid, are you afraid?"

Lin Mu asked, "Do you want to back down?"

"No."

Xiao Qingmei said sincerely, "I did this because I wanted to win."

Lin Mu immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

"If you want to win, how can you win if you are completely defensive and completely give up attacking?"

Lin Mu asked back, "Have you learned from Xiao Hei so badly that you don't even blink an eye when telling lies?"

"No."

Xiao Qingmei said quickly, "Didn't we have an agreement? As long as I can survive three rounds in your hands, I will win."

"Besides, you are my master. No matter how hard I attack you, I just want to win."

What Xiao Qingmei said was correct.

"It's true that I am your master."

Lin Mu said, "But when we take action, we are our opponents, so you have to go all out. Also, even if you win with this method, it will be disgraceful."

"Master, didn't you tell me before that the world of cultivation is dangerous, and as long as you can defeat your opponent, you can use any means?"

Xiao Qingmei asked, "Why do you say it's so disgraceful now?"

"You are really a bad learner!"

Lin Mu sighed helplessly, "I can't even speak to you."

"I won't punish you this time."

Lin Mu solemnly said, "But you must take this as a warning. You must not do this again in the future! You must maintain your aggressiveness to make the enemy fear you, make the enemy fearful and panicked, instead of making the enemy high-spirited and crazy." Attack you!"

"I know, I won't do it again!"

Xiao Qingmei said gloomily.

Originally using this passive defense method, she actually saw the dawn of victory.

She was about to make it through three rounds.

Because her attack could not harm Lin Mu.

So even if she used the sword skill five times in a row, it would be useless.

And when she attacks, her own defense is also at its weakest, and it is easy for flaws to appear.

Any slight flaw she had could be caught by Lin Mu and defeat her in an instant.

When she gave up attacking and passively defended, her mind was focused on defense, and there were obviously fewer flaws.

At the same level, even Lin Mu would not be able to defeat her so easily.

After several defenses on her face, her flaws became less and less.

Just when she thought she was about to see the dawn of victory, Lin Mu suddenly followed her.

This harsh lecture forced her to give up this method.

Once again, return to the previous state.

Fighting against her master, she felt that there was no way she could survive three rounds in Lin Mu's hands.

After actually fighting Lin Mu, Xiao Qingmei finally understood how unpredictable her master's strength was.

At the same level, she couldn't survive even three rounds.

Just like that, the master also said that she is a rare genius and is almost invincible among practitioners of the same level!

If she is almost invincible, then what level of strength does the master have among cultivators in the foundation building stage?

More powerful than invincible?

How to describe it?

But she didn't think the master was boasting.

She truly believed that among the practitioners in the foundation-building stage, no one could defeat the master.

She was so sure of it!

If Lin Mu knew Xiao Qingmei's thoughts, he would definitely be dumbfounded again.

He was about to reach the golden elixir realm, and Xiao Qingmei comparing him to the foundation-building cultivators was simply a humiliation to him.

He has understood the sword intention, and it is still the strongest and boundless killing intention!

Not to mention those at the Nascent Soul Stage, even those at the Concentration Stage find it difficult to comprehend the meaning of the sword.

"Actually, your current strength is not bad. What you lack is just combat experience."

Lin Mu said, "Do you think that such a battle makes you lose hope and is very painful, so you use that method?"

Xiao Qingmei nodded repeatedly and said honestly, "If we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to see my mother in a year."

After two months of sparring with Lin Mu, Xiao Qingmei finally understood what it meant to be high and low.

This is what Lin Mu is happy to see.

It is a good thing and a must for a cultivator to be ambitious, proud and confident in himself.

But we must not be complacent, arrogant, or self-righteous.

"Actually, I'm in more pain than you are."

Lin Mu deliberately said irritatingly, "You are so weak that you are unchallenged by me. It is a complete waste of time for me to compete with you every day. It is simply too boring."

Unexpectedly, what Lin Mu said not only failed to inspire Xiao Qingmei's fighting spirit, but also made her practice harder.

Xiao Qingmei said happily, "Master, since neither of us are happy, let's just forget it and let me go back now, okay?"

Lin Mu was speechless for a while.

He felt that his fist hit the cotton completely, without any effect.

His methods of provoking generals didn't work anymore.

In other words, Xiao Qingmei was too naive and did not realize the excitement in his words.

"no!"

Lin Mu simply refused, "You can't even survive three rounds in my hands, how can I trust you to go back alone?"

"Are you afraid that I will be in danger?"

Xiao Qingmei said, "There are so many dangers. When I was a mortal, I could come here without any problems. Now that I have mastered the five-shot sword skill, it should be more than enough to go back by myself. "

Xiao Qingmei began to change her mind and decided to find a breakthrough from other aspects.

In a head-to-head confrontation with Lin Mu, she already wanted to give up.

No one would like this kind of constant failure.

This kind of frustration will continue to accumulate.

Every setback is a depression.

After two months of continuous accumulation, Xiao Qingmei was already depressed to the extreme.

Now she would rather go out and hunt monsters than compete with Lin Mu.

She even felt that it was not a good thing that her master was too strong.

The master is so powerful that he has very high requirements for his apprentices.

She is not afraid of hardship and practices hard enough.

But she didn't like being tortured by Lin Mu all day long.

And now it seems that she can't get rid of it.

In the next three months, Xiao Qingmei was still competing with Lin Mu.

Every day is a failure.

In addition to sparring, she took pills to practice and relied on top-grade spiritual stones to practice. In nearly half a year, her cultivation level reached the peak of the foundation-building stage from the middle to the foundation-building stage!

She is already like Lin Mu and can reach the Golden Core stage at any time!

But unfortunately, she still couldn't survive three rounds in Lin Mu's hands!
