"Oh." Mu Qingyun nodded understandingly. It was normal for a little boy to have a dream at this time. Back then, her younger brother dreamed of becoming the top strategist of the imperial court.
"Do we really have to practice?" Su frowned, feeling quite troubled. He thought that this kind of close combat was completely useless.
Once his water-based powers are activated, who can get close to him?
"You need to be more determined. If your superpowers aren't working, you need to find another way to protect yourself. Do you want to be called weak for the rest of your life?" Mu Qingyun looked at him with a look of disappointment, which really made him feel like he was a disappointment.
"It was my fault." Su sighed inwardly, patted her forehead, and tried to clear her head.
"Let's go." Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun raised her chin, indicating that he should follow her.
The two arrived one after the other at an open space behind the cave. It was deserted, making it a perfect opportunity to practice their skills.
"Turn off your live stream." She turned off her own live stream first, and then told Su to turn it off as well.
The skills she practices are all her own family's unique techniques, which are generally not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. Although her close combat and internal energy circulation were also learned from her master, she has already come this far, so her master probably won't blame her for teaching her martial arts to others.
Hey, don't turn off the live stream! I want to watch too!
[This Mu Qingyun seems to have come from ancient times. Could it be that she possesses some secret martial arts technique that she can't show us?]
[Selfish little man, does he really think we care or something? He won't even show it to us, what a moron.]
[Yeah, so what if we see it? It's not like it'll take a piece of his flesh.]
[Ha, I'm really looking forward to seeing how he'll turn that skinny jerky into someone. Such precious skills, and he won't even show us a glance.]
【No, if they don't want us to watch, then they don't have to. What are you all babbling about?】
[Mind your own business! I just want to curse, I just want to say, what's it to you? Do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?]
[Ha, I really wonder if Mu-ge's haters even know how to spell "distorting the truth." They used to criticize our Mu-ge fans for having warped values, but look at what they're saying now, who has warped values?]
No matter how noisy the live stream was, Mu Qingyun and Su could no longer see them.
"First, squat in a horse stance."
Looking at Su's thin and frail body, Mu Qingyun frowned with concern. After thinking for a while, she said softly, "Squat for ten minutes first."
Ten minutes?
Su raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Who did he think he was? In his eyes, squatting in a horse stance for at least thirty minutes was the minimum.
"Isn't it a bit..."
"Can't even last ten minutes?" Mu Qingyun stared at Su with a serious expression. "I know you're weak, but try to overcome this a little to improve your physical strength."
“No,” Sue shook her head, “I mean, isn’t ten minutes a bit too short?”
Mu Qingyun: ……
He clearly has no idea what kind of body this person is in.
"How much do you want?" She lazily raised her eyes and asked softly.
However, Su smiled at her and gestured with his hand, "Thirty minutes, at the very least."
"Fine, thirty minutes it is, go ahead and practice." Mu Qingyun was too lazy to argue with him about this issue, so she waved her hand lazily and let him practice.
Anyway, she's right there, so if anything goes wrong, she can come and help immediately.
The sun was covered by dark clouds, making it a rare cool and shady day.
Mu Qingyun looked at Su, her expression shifting from boredom to surprise, and finally to confusion. She hadn't expected Su to be able to hold out for so long.
"You've practiced before?" She took out a plastic stick from the storage bag, held it in her hand, and her eyes turned sharp.
"Yes, as I told you before, my father insisted on making me practice our family's unique martial arts, so I often had to do horse stance." Su nodded, readily stood up, and gently patted her legs to relieve the soreness.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun didn't say a word, grabbed a plastic stick, and swung it at Su.
The attack was incredibly fast, and Su, who was suppressing his supernatural abilities, had no chance to fight back. However, Mu Qingyun did not hold back at all, and with one strike, Su's body was covered in red marks.
After hitting him a dozen times, Mu Qingyun stopped.
"The worst thing in martial arts is arrogance and complacency. Even if you are capable, you should not be so disrespectful to your master."
Rude?
What was impolite about him? He just said ten minutes was too short.
"You speak in such a literary style, anyone who didn't know better would think you'd traveled from ancient times." Su raised an eyebrow. Mu Qingyun always liked to use ancient phrases, which sounded like he was showing off his literary talent, but the problem was that he had no culture at all.
However, upon hearing his words, Mu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this man had hit the nail on the head. "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits; do not speak nonsense."
"Look, here we go again." Su chuckled, but seeing Mu Qingyun's displeasure, she quickly stopped laughing and said seriously, "Master, I was wrong."
"It's no use making mistakes, just learn diligently." Mu Qingyun twirled the plastic stick in her hand. "I'll use the same technique again now, all you have to do is dodge."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her stick and struck Su again, using the same method as before.
Should we hide or not?
Seeing that the stick was about to hit him, he hesitated for a moment, then turned to the side just before being struck, barely dodging the blow.
"Not bad." Mu Qingyun was extremely pleased with Su, who was such a sensible disciple. The child was very smart, but his health was a little weak.
But the next second, accompanied by the muffled groan of the stick striking and Su's short cry of pain, she abandoned her previous idea.
"Please pay attention."
...
Throughout the morning, Su went from being able to dodge one blow to being able to dodge 100% of the time. He tried his best to control his subconscious dodging movements and took dozens of blows.
Waves of pain surged through his body. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Coming here to watch their trials was a terrible decision. Wouldn't it be better to just relax on his leather sofa, sipping cocktails, watching TV, and occasionally playing with his pet cat? Why did he have to come here and suffer like this?
"Does it hurt?" Mu Qingyun asked calmly, looking at the red and swollen wounds on Su's body.
"It hurts." Su didn't miss any opportunity to play the victim, and said in a pitiful voice, even pulling her clothes up to reveal more of her red and swollen skin.
Seeing how miserable he is, Mu Qingyun will definitely feel sorry for him and might not force him to learn this anymore.
However, his beautiful fantasy didn't last long before it was ruthlessly shattered by Mu Qingyun.
"It's good that it hurts." Mu Qingyun glanced at him lazily. "If you don't practice properly, it won't just be a little pain later."
