Chapter 13: Formal Apprenticeship
"It's back, kids. Lin Lao opened his eyes, and his sword eyebrows were unusually focused.
"Little guy, how do you feel here?" Lin Lao said again as he looked at Xingyi and Xingyun.
"Excellent!" Nebula replied, and Xingyi smiled and nodded.
"Would you like to worship me as a teacher?" Lin Lao's face suddenly changed from soft to serious.
Without waiting for Xingyi and Xingyun to answer, Lin Lao continued: "It's very difficult to become my disciple, if I don't have the will to accept apprentices, it's useless to persuade anyone, but when I help you two forge the vein, I am surprised by the firmness of your willpower, in my opinion, the way of cultivation, the will is strong, and the farther you go, so I have the intention of accepting apprentices, thinking that you two are malleable, I don't know what you two little guys think?"
Xingyi and Xingyun glanced at each other, looked at Lin Lao together, and said firmly: "I am willing!"
Before coming, Chu Peiyan had already mentioned this matter, and the two had agreed to apprentice, so the two agreed without too much hesitation.
Lin Lao wilted his beard and said: "It's not a happy thing to be my disciple, I will train you very harshly, I won't show mercy to my subordinates in training, you can ask Xiaoxiao, my training for my granddaughter is still like this, and I won't show mercy to you, are you afraid?"
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, let's finally come here and the two of us can chat with me, don't you scare away?"
Xingyi and Xingyun were indeed a little scared when they heard this, but they understood the truth of Yan Shi's high apprenticeship, so they did not waver in their determination.
"Grandpa Lin, we are willing, no matter how hard we temper, we can hold on, as you said, the willpower of our brothers is harder than steel, stronger than iron!" Xingyi said with a smile.
"Good boy, since you are willing, then you two will kowtow three times and call me Master, and from then on you two will be my disciples. Saying that, Lin Lao stood up.
Xingyi and Xingyun faced Lin Lao, kowtowed three times, and shouted loudly in unison: "Master!"
"Xingyi, Xingyun, you two can listen well, among the three of us, I was the first to follow my grandfather to cultivate, so you can call me 'senior sister' in the future, do you know the little junior brother." Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately made a villainous appearance and said mischievously.
"In the secret realm, the four seasons are like spring, the alternation of day and night is as usual, you two go to my room to sleep tonight, tomorrow (7~9 o'clock) we will start training, by the way for you to build another wooden house. ”
"Xiaoxiao, you can also go back to your room to rest. With that, Lin Lao closed his eyes.
In the middle of the room, Xingyi and Nebula lay on the bed with their eyes open, not sure if they were excited or didn't fall asleep at all.
"Brother, we forgot to say goodbye to Brother Li Chuan and Sister Linghan when we left. Nebula muttered.
"It was Daddy who asked us to leave secretly, anyway, after we improve our strength, we will be able to go home, and Brother Li Chuan should be very strong by then. Xingyi replied.
"Brother, I admire Brother Li Chuan very much, and that Lu Li of the Lu family is really annoying, when we go back, we must clean him up. "At the mention of Lu Li Nebula, he was very angry.
"We are only a first-level martial artist, alas, Lu Li is already a fifth-level martial artist, if you want to defeat him, it's difficult. Xingyi sighed.
"Don't be afraid, we are cultivating seriously under Shizun, we just need to work harder than Lu Li, and sooner or later we will break his tortoise shell with one punch. Nebula laughed as he spoke.
"Mmmm, I'm going to practice tomorrow, Xingyun, you go to sleep quickly, you're tired of climbing the dwarf mountain today. Xingyi said with concern.
"Okay, I'm sleeping, brother, go to bed early, good night. With that, Nebula put the quilt over his head and fell asleep.
The moonlight outside the window was like water, and even breathing sounded in the room for a short time.
......
Sleep in the morning.
At the end of the hour, outside the wooden house, by the stream.
The two figures stood here, Xingyi and Xingyun had been waiting here for a long time, and on the first day, the two of them deliberately got up early for a while.
"Woke up early, junior brother. Lin Xiaoxiao walked out and said while stretching his waist.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao is only more than ten years old, he is already very handsome, and his budding figure has also been perfectly displayed when he stretches his waist.
However, Xingyi and Xingyun didn't notice this, but when they heard the words "little junior brother", they immediately felt unhappy, but they couldn't find anything wrong.
"Senior sister is not too late!" Xingyun said with a smile, and deliberately stretched the word senior sister very long.
"Hee-hee, if you trained today, you won't be able to get up so early tomorrow. Lin Xiaoxiao said with a wicked smile.
"Everyone is here. Lin Lao didn't know when he also appeared here and said.
"Hello Master!" Xingyi and Xingyun said respectfully, bending over with fists clenched.
"Good morning, Grandpa. Xiaoxiao also said with a mischievous smile.
In this regard, Lin Lao smiled and nodded. But then he said with a serious face: "Let's start today's training, Xiaoxiao, you take the two of them to run ten laps around the secret realm, and the whole process is not allowed to stop, and the runner will finish within two hours, and those who fail to complete will be punished." ”
"Uh-huh, got it. ”
Immediately, Xiaoxiao ran around the secret realm with Xingyi and Nebula, this is a road, a road around the secret realm.
"This is the way I ran out, my grandfather didn't mean to talk about it yesterday to scare you, his training method is a real devil. Lin Xiaoxiao said with a wry smile.
I have to say that the distance of this lap is indeed not small, in the first lap, the three of them ran for about a quarter of an hour, and after running a lap, wisps of sweat appeared on the faces of Xingyi and Xingyun.
On the second lap, they had been running for more than a quarter of an hour, and by the time they got back to the starting point, both Xingyi and Nebula were already gasping for sounds, and sweat was beginning to flow down their foreheads.
Lin Xiaoxiao is okay, her breath is still stable, and there are no beads of sweat on her forehead, not that she is much stronger than the two of them, but that she can use Yuan Force to recover her physical strength, but Xingyi and Xingyun have been consuming all the time and cannot operate Yuan Force.
Lap 3......
Lap 4......
......
In the eighth lap, Xingyi and Xingyun couldn't feel the existence of their legs anymore, and their whole bodies were soaked with sweat, but they still insisted on running forward, and even Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead was already covered with fine sweat, and there were still more than two quarters of an hour before the end time.
Lin Xiaoxiao has been running with Xingyi and Xingyun for the first eight laps, but if he continues to accompany them, he must not be able to complete the last two laps in two hours, but if he uses Yuan Li to recover his physical strength and accelerate now, he can successfully complete the remaining two laps.
"Xiaoxiao, you run first, you don't have to wait for us, it's better for two people to be punished than both. Xingyi said with a smile, he didn't want to be punished with Xiaoxiao.
"What do you say, junior brother, I'm a senior sister, if you want to be punished, you will be punished together, I haven't finished running, grandpa won't embarrass us." Xiaoxiao didn't speed up, but ran slower and slower like Xingyi.
Although Xingyi and Xingyun were tired, their hearts warmed because of Xiaoxiao's words, and they didn't specifically resist the word senior sister.
......
In the last lap, neither Xingyi nor Nebula knew how they finished the race, but they only knew that after the tenth lap, their eyes were black and they fell to the ground.
Lin Lao stepped forward and used his Yuan Force to help Xingyi and Xingyun recover their strength.
Xingyi and Xingyun quickly woke up, and then they heard Lin Xiaoxiao pleading with Lin Lao, "Grandpa, neither of them can run Yuan Force, it's the first time to run, it's good to be able to finish running, don't punish us." ”
"What you say is indeed reasonable, and it is indeed good that you can share the hardships and hardships with the two of them, and advance and retreat together......"
"Yes, grandpa, I know that you are the most reasonable and love me the most......"
Before Xiaoxiao's words were finished, Lin Lao interrupted her and said: "But the punishment is still indispensable, you should have been punished for running ten more laps, seeing that you are performing so well, let's reduce it a little and run five more laps." ”
Hearing that they were going to run five more laps, Xingyi and Nebula almost turned black and fainted again.
......
The three of them dragged their legs, which were as heavy as lead iron, and they didn't feel the pain anyway, so they ran down again......
