Chapter 1422: Disciple Helpless

There is no time for cultivation.

Lin Mu personally taught Xiao Qingmei how to practice swordsmanship, and he matched Xiao Qingmei's strength to spar 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, he would probably not have the courage to practice anymore.

It would be fine if he could not win at almost the same level of cultivation, but the important thing is that he could not even cross the threshold of three moves.

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

If Lin Mu used the spiritual consciousness of the Jindan stage and the sword intent, Xiao Qingmei could not resist even one move.

Lin Mu restricted himself in various conditions. He did not 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 went all out. Later, when she realized the gap between her and Lin Mu, she even stopped holding back and began to fight with all her strength.

But it was still useless.

She also tried, not caring about the rapid depletion of spiritual power, and continuously performing sword skills, but it was also useless.

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

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

Every time she failed, she could learn some skills and experience from Lin Mu, such as grasping the timing, etc.

Because Lin Mu's strength was at the same level as hers.

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

But after practicing like this for two months, Xiao Qingmei was able to perform five consecutive sword skills. I don't know how much her fighting skills have improved compared to two months ago, but she still couldn't last three rounds in Lin Mu's hands.

Maybe because of her strong love, she suddenly changed her fighting style.

She no longer attacked Lin Mu, but tried to defend herself, trying to block Lin Mu's three attacks.

She even gave up the intention of attacking and only thought about defense.

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

By the fourth time, Xiao Qingmei was still passively defending, and 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, and Xiao Qingmei asked carefully.

"You disappoint me so much!"

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

This was the first time that Lin Mu was so stern.

Xiao Qingmei was a little at a loss, and her heart was suddenly panicked.

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

Xiao Qingmei said with tears in her eyes.

She was really scared.

Lin Mu looked at the helpless Xiao Qingmei and sighed in his heart. Xiao Qingmei was still a child after all.

Was it too early for him to be so strict?

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

Trying his best to calm down his anger, Lin Mu suppressed his anger and said, "Sword cultivators are all about going forward and attacking!"

"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, "You have lost this sharpness. In the future, when you encounter difficulties in the sword path, you will only retreat and it will be difficult to achieve anything great."

"But, I beat you."

Xiao Qingmei said aggrievedly, "Is it wrong to defend?"

"Defense is not wrong!"

Lin Mu said, "When fighting with others, there will be attacks and defenses on both sides. It is impossible for you to suppress the opponent all the time, unless the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, but you completely defend and completely give up attacking, this is a big problem."

"Are you afraid and afraid in your heart?"

Lin Mu asked, "Do you want to retreat?"

"No."

Xiao Qingmei said sincerely, "I do this because I want to win."

Lin Mu was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

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

Lin Mu asked, "Have you learned bad things from Xiao Hei? You don't even blink when you lie?"

"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. How can I be so cruel to attack you? I just want to win."

Xiao Qingmei said everything.

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

Lin Mu said, "But if we fight, we will be opponents. You have to go all out. Also, even if you win by this means, it's not glorious."

"Master, didn't you tell me before that the world of cultivation is dangerous, and as long as you can defeat the opponent, no matter what means you use, it will be fine?"

Xiao Qingmei asked back, "Why do you say it's dishonorable now?"

"You really have learned bad things!"

Lin Mu sighed helplessly, "I can't argue with you."

"I won't punish you this time."

Lin Mu said solemnly, "But you must take this as a warning, and never do this again in the future! You must maintain your aggressiveness, let the enemy fear you, let the enemy be terrified, and panic, instead of letting the enemy be eager to fight and attack you crazily!"

"I know, I won't do it again in the future!"

Xiao Qingmei said sullenly.

Originally, she had already seen the dawn of victory by using this passive defense method.

She was about to survive three rounds.

Because her attack could not hurt Lin Mu.

So even if she performed five consecutive sword skills, it would be useless.

And when she attacked, her own defense was also the weakest, and it was easy to reveal flaws.

Any slight flaw of hers could be caught by Lin Mu, who would defeat her instantly.

When she gave up attacking and passively defended, her mind was on defense, and her flaws were obviously much less.

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

After several defenses, her flaws became fewer and fewer.

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

This stern lecture forced her to give up this method.

Once again back to the previous state.

Fighting against her master, she felt that she could not last three rounds in Lin Mu's hands.

Only when she really fought with Lin Mu did Xiao Qingmei understand how unfathomable her master's strength was.

At the same level, she could not even last three rounds.

Even so, the master still said that she was a rare genius and was almost invincible among the cultivators of the same level!

If she was almost invincible, then what level of strength was the master among the cultivators at the foundation-building stage?

Is it more powerful than invincible?

How to describe it?

But she didn't think that the master was bragging.

She really believed that among the cultivators in the foundation building stage, no one could defeat the master.

She was very sure of this!

If Lin Mu knew Xiao Qingmei's idea, he would definitely be in tears and laughter.

He was about to break through the golden elixir realm, and Xiao Qingmei compared him with the cultivators in the foundation building stage, which was simply a humiliation to him.

He had comprehended the sword intent, and the strongest boundless killing intent!

Not to mention the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, even the cultivators in the Condensation stage found it difficult to comprehend the sword intent.

"In fact, your current strength is not bad, but you still lack combat experience."

Lin Mu said, "Do you think that such a battle makes you see no hope and is very painful, so you use that method?"

Xiao Qingmei nodded repeatedly and said honestly, "If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that 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 knew what the sky was high and the earth was thick.

This is exactly 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 he must not be complacent, arrogant, or self-righteous.

"In fact, I am more miserable than you."

Lin Mu deliberately provoked, "You are so weak and not challenging to me. I am wasting my time sparring with you every day. It's so boring."

Who knew that Lin Mu's words did not inspire Xiao Qingmei's fighting spirit and made her practice harder.

Instead, Xiao Qingmei said happily, "Master, since both of us are unhappy, let's just forget it. Can you let me go back now?"

Lin Mu was speechless.

He felt that his fist was completely hitting cotton and had no effect.

His provocation method was useless.

Or, Xiao Qingmei was too naive and did not understand the provocation in his words at all.

"No!"

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

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

Xiao Qingmei said, "Where are there so many dangers? When I was still a mortal, I could come here by myself and nothing happened. Now I have at least mastered the five-shot sword technique, so it should be more than enough for me to go back by myself."

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

She wanted to give up in the face of Lin Mu.

No one would like to fail like this.

Such frustration will continue to accumulate.

Every failure is a depression.

After two months of continuous accumulation, Xiao Qingmei was already extremely depressed.

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

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

The master was too powerful, so he had high requirements for his apprentice.

She was not afraid of hardship and practiced hard.

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

And now it seemed that she couldn't get rid of it.

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

Every day was a failure.

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

She was already like Lin Mu, and could compete in the golden elixir stage at any time!

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