C15 Xiao Yue's Trial
When Guxing opened his eyes again, it was already dusk. Guxing had not eaten for a few days, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
Just as he was about to get up and find something to eat, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound. An unknown object instantly broke through the sky and stopped in front of Guxing.
Guxing fixed his eyes and saw that it was his own spirit sword. He saw that there was a wild rabbit on the sword. That wild rabbit had long been pierced through the throat, but surprisingly, not even a drop of blood flowed out.
Then, Xiao Yue appeared out of thin air. "You must be hungry. Tut, eat. "
Guxing did not stand on ceremony. He took the sword and took off the rabbit. Instantly, blood flowed like a pillar.
Guxing was shocked. How fast could a sword be to achieve this? He immediately admired Xiao Yue.
Guxing had grown up with the old man, and his movements were nimble. In a short while, he had cleaned up and set the fire. Instantly, the smell of meat filled the air.
"It smells so good!"
Guxing looked at the roasted golden rabbit and swallowed his saliva. He ignored the heat and held his head to chew on it. He wished he could even eat the bones together. This eating posture made Xiao Yue roll her eyes at the side.
"Silly, eat slowly. No one wants to snatch it from you. "
Guxing was busy wolfing down his food when he heard Xiao Yue call him. Before he could say anything, he rolled his eyes. Xiao Yue seemed to have expected this and raised her sword. A wine jar steadily landed in front of Guxing. The wine jar was filled with water. But when it landed on the ground, not a single drop splashed out. Obviously, he had controlled his strength to the extreme.
Guxing could not be bothered to appreciate it at this moment. He grabbed the wine jar on the ground and drank wildly. He drank half of the jar of water before putting it down.
"Phew, I feel much better now. " After he finished speaking, he picked up the rabbit meat that he hadn't finished yet and started wolfing it down like before. Xiao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she still went out of the cave to relax.
When Guxing had eaten his fill, he saw Xiao Yue bring back a few more prey that he had just hunted.
"From today onwards, one for every meal. "
Guxing looked at the pheasant and other prey scattered on the ground. He nodded. His current appetite was no less than an adult's. It was not much for him to eat one per meal.
"Are you full?" Xiao Yue tilted her head and asked.
Guxing was slightly stunned. "I'm full. "
"En, then follow me. " After saying that, Xiao Yue took the lead and walked in front. Seeing this, Guxing quickly followed. Just like that, the two of them arrived at the empty space where they usually cultivated.
It was already late at night, and the surroundings were quiet. Even the moonlight was dim and lusterless. Guxing did not understand why Ms Yue brought him here so late at night. What did she bring him here for? But he held back and did not ask. He knew that Ms Yue must have her motives.
"You have also learned that set of footwork for a period of time. Now show it to me. Let me see if you have made any progress. "
Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Yue made a request.
Guxing was not surprised. He silently circulated his mental cultivation method. His body moved like a butterfly, left and right, leaving only afterimages behind. It was confusing until he took dozens of steps before Xiao Yue shouted, "Stop!"
"Great, it looks like it already has some form. Oh, right. Your inner energy has reached the peak of late stage?"
Xiao Yue pretended to be indifferent and asked.
"I don't know how I broke through either. " Guxing scratched his head awkwardly. He really didn't know, but in Xiao Yue's eyes, this was obviously a sign of guilt.
"You idiot, you even kept my sister in the dark. "
Xiao Yue said in a low voice, then rolled her eyes and said snappily: "Your cultivation is quite fast, I didn't see it usually. Could it be that you are also a genius?"
Guxing was speechless. "I. . . "
"Alright, stop talking. Stand still for me. Let me see how capable you are. "
As he spoke, he used his sword to pick up a stone and injected his inner energy into it. With a swoosh, the stone flew towards Guxing. Guxing did not have time to react and was immediately hit until he cried out in pain.
"Too slow!" Xiao Yue said discontentedly.
In fact, it was not that Guxing could not avoid it. It was because he didn't expect Xiao Yue to make a sudden attack, so he didn't take any precautions. After hearing Xiao Yue's words, he immediately perked up and prepared to attack.
"From now on, I am your enemy, you must avoid my attack with all your strength. "
Before she finished speaking, she shot out a second shot. Guxing's eyes flashed and he barely dodged it. Before he could rejoice in the future, the third shot had already arrived. Guxing quickly leaned over, and the stone flew past him, sticking close to his nose.
Guxing said, "That was close!"
Another fourth shot followed. This time, Xiao Yue chose a blind spot that Guxing could not see. As expected, Guxing only heard the sound and did not even have time to dodge before he was hit.
"Again!" Xiao Yue shouted, and then another fifth, sixth, and seventh attack. Without any suspense, Guxing was hit.
"This won't do. Ms Yue, the sky is too dark, I can't see at all. " Guxing did not want to be beaten up for nothing, so he quickly argued.
Who knew that Xiaoyue completely ignored his complaints. "What does it have to do with you not being able to see?"
"How can I hide if I can't see!" Guxing was furious. He suddenly felt like he had been tricked.
"Then what do you have ears for? Let me ask you, is it faster to see or hear? "
Xiao Yue asked in a seemingly absurd manner, but it confused Guxing. He had never thought of this question.
"This. . . "
"Don't stutter. Won't you know if you try? Take this!"
Guxing was helpless. Since he couldn't see, he might as well close his eyes and try. With a swoosh, Guxing could not dodge in time and was hit on the spot.
"Hmph, come again!" He could not be discouraged and focused on waiting for the next attack. He did not expect that he would be able to dodge it this time.
"Not bad, idiot. Keep up the good work. "
Xiao Yue smiled and praised. She didn't know that it was because she had reduced the strength in her hand that she was easily dodged.
This obviously gave Guxing a lot of confidence. He laughed loudly and activated the potential in his body, causing Xiao Yue's later attacks to be dodged by him.
Only then did Xiaoyue slowly increase her strength. When Guxing could dodge it, she increased her strength a bit more. This gradual process allowed Guxing to gradually grasp the technique of listening to sounds and dispelling positions. In less than an hour, he avoided almost all of Xiaoyue's sneak attacks.
"This idiot is quite fast. " Xiao Yue was secretly delighted, but she quietly added one stone to two. Guxing suddenly felt two voices coming at the same time, and for a moment he didn't know which one to hide from. He hesitated for a moment, but both of them were hit. He thought to himself, and then he heard another three voices. This time, he did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly used the Wind Riding Technique. With a thought, he performed the Wind Riding Technique from left to right. Only then did he manage to avoid it and catch his breath in the future. Xiao Yue threw another three stones at him, and judging from the sound of the stones breaking through the air, This time, the speed had obviously increased.
Guxing didn't dare to be careless and used his footwork to the extreme. From afar, he was like a gust of wind blowing across the open space.
Xiao Yue didn't hold back anymore, she increased her strength, and with a swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. . . "Seven consecutive attacks were launched at seven different directions on Guxing's body. When Guxing heard the sound, he didn't panic. He swayed left and right, sometimes bending over, sometimes moving, and so on. He dodged all of them in a very coincidental manner, and it didn't take long for him to dodge all of them.
Only then did Xiaoyue nod her head in relief. She smiled and increased the number of stones to ten. She saw that Guxing had dodged all of them again. Xiao Yue was determined to make this fool suffer. She forced Guxing to jump into the air step by step. This time, Guxing became a living target. Facing the attack, he jumped left and right, looking very embarrassed.
When he came down, Guxing had a troubled look on his face, as if he was thinking about something. His two sword-shaped eyebrows were twisted together.
Xiao Yue walked up to him and smiled. "What's wrong, silly? What are you thinking about?"
Only then did Guxing raise his head. His brows were filled with thoughts. "I am thinking about what I would do if I met someone else today and not you. If I was thrown into the air, what would I do?"
"At least you still have some sense of crisis in you, idiot. You're still a kid to be taught. "
When Xiaoyue heard Guxing's words, she felt gratified and said: "But let me keep you in suspense. Let me ask you, since this footwork is called Wind Riding, is there wind in the air?"
Guxing heard what Xiaoyue said and thought for a while before saying, "Of course there is. "
Xiaoyue asked again, "Is that wind in the air or on the ground?"
"Of course it's in the air. "
Guxing answered without thinking. At the same time, he was a little confused. "Ms Yue, why are you asking this?"
She saw Xiao Yue turn her head and smiled playfully. "I naturally have a reason to ask. Don't interrupt me. Just answer whatever I ask you. I will ask you again. Since the wind in the sky is stronger. . . Then why can't you dodge when you're in the air?"
"Eh?" Guxing was stunned. That's right. Theoretically, it should be easier to dodge in the air, but what was the problem?
After thinking for a long time, he finally figured out the key. "That's because there is no leverage in the air. I can't use force at all. "
"So, there's no way to change my form, right?"
Xiao Yue seemed to ask a question, but she also seemed to be talking to herself. This sentence confused Guxing. In the dark night, he seemed to see a light flashing in Xiao Yue's eyes. Just like what he saw, the corner of Xiaoyue's mouth curled up slightly, forming a strange smile as if her plot had succeeded.
