The next day, the sky was not yet bright, the breeze gently caressed with a hint of coolness, and the back mountain was still quiet in such a dark environment, which made people feel trembling when they walked by. When Shen Nan arrived at the back mountain, he looked around and saw that there was no one, thinking that Muqi had not yet arrived, so he planned to sit and wait for Muqi first.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a "bell", a green light flashed, Shen Nan quickly got up and dodged away, and when he turned his head, he saw that a leaf was deeply embedded in the ground. Looking back again, he looked up and took a closer look, Mu Qi was lying on the big tree, because he was wearing a green coat and was partially obscured by the leaves, so he didn't notice it just now. Seeing that Shen Nan had dodged, Mu Qi praised without hesitation, "Yes, the reaction is quite fast." ”

"I almost didn't get out of it." Shen Nan bowed politely, and then said modestly.

Mu Qi glanced at Shen Nan and said, "If you don't dodge, then you don't have to teach." With that, a vine condensed from his fingertips, wrapped around Shen Nan's waist and pulled him to the tree.

When Shen Nan stood safely on the tree, the vine automatically loosened. Although Shen Nan, who was standing on the tree, wanted to laugh inexplicably, he also wondered in his heart, what was he doing, didn't he want to teach me to cultivate? "Sit." Mu Qi saw Shen Nan standing awkwardly on the side and said.

Shen Nan sat down obediently, but he was really puzzled, so he asked bluntly, "Aren't we going to cultivate?" ”

Mu Qi just smiled, "Isn't it still early, it's not dawn yet, what are you panicking about?" ”

"And what are we?" Shen Nan asked again.

"Watch the sunrise!" Mu Qi glanced at Shen Nan and then said very calmly.

When Shen Nan heard this answer, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward, then nodded slightly, and did not continue to speak, the two of them sat quietly on the tree, waiting for the sunrise.

I don't know how long it took, Mu Qi suddenly said, "Your yard is called Tingtong Courtyard, right?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Nan didn't react for a while because of Mu Qi's sudden speech, so he paused for a second before replying, "Yes, it's called Tingtong Courtyard." ”

"What does Ting Hitomi mean... The rising sun. Shen Nan listened to the voice a little sad, so he turned his head and saw Mu Qi's somewhat sad look, and did not answer. So there was another brief silence, and Mu Qi lowered his head and said, "This name... Pretty good. ”

Although Mu Qi lowered his head expressionlessly, he could see that there was a trace of sadness in his usually smart eyes at this moment. Shen Nan sat on the side and wanted to gently pat Mu Qi's shoulder to show comfort, but his hand reached out in the air and paused before putting it down. It's funny, she's the proud Lord of the Wood Spirit, I'm afraid my comfort will embarrass her, and besides, what qualifications do I have to comfort her.

So for a moment no one spoke, and both of them were immersed in their own thoughts.

After a short while, the color of the entire sky slowly changed from dark blue to light blue, and in the blink of an eye, a red glow appeared on the horizon in the distance. The range of Hongxia slowly became larger and brighter, and the sun slowly passed through Hongxia, revealing a red face, like a girl shyly poking her head out from behind a tree.

Sunrise.

Mu Qi raised his head, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and stared intently at the slowly rising sun in the distance, the sadness in his eyes was gone, and he smiled happily. Shen Nan looked at the smile on the corner of Mu Qi's lips, and could see that her mood had improved at the moment, and she couldn't help but smile at the bottom of her heart.

After watching the sunrise, Mu Qi jumped down from the tree, and Shen Nan followed and jumped down. "It's time to start practicing." Mu Qi said: "In Huacheng, I think your leadership and observation skills are not bad, which shows that you are very good at observing the overall situation." But after your battle with the Monster, you should have also discovered that if you don't have enough power, you can't support the implementation of your own plan. ”

Shen Nan nodded, yes, in the face of absolute power, some countermeasures cannot be implemented at all, and even if the plan is implemented, it will be easily broken by the other party.

"And the basis of ability is your control of speed." Mu Qi continued.

"Speed?"

"That's right! Speed is important mainly because of its ability to support all your actions in battle. Whether it's attacking or dodging, being fast enough will give you an advantage in battle. Mu Qi said very seriously, "So today you will mainly practice speed. ”

After Mu Qi finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out a few sticks of incense and inserted them on the ground. Then he patted the dust on his hands and said to Shen Nan, "I have placed a mark on every tree in this back mountain, and your task is to bypass every tree in this back mountain within a stick of incense, and then return here, allowing you to use your abilities as assistance." ”

Although there are no tens of thousands of trees in the back mountain of Shenfu, there are thousands, and even if you use your abilities, it is difficult to wrap around these trees in a single stick of incense. Shen Nan frowned slightly, feeling that this could not be done at all.

Mu Qi looked at Shen Nan's expression and knew that he was beginning to question the authenticity of this task, so he said, "Don't underestimate the gold ability, if you can use it flexibly, maybe there will be more time for a stick of incense." ”

Shen Nan nodded firmly, and then signaled to Mu Qi that he was ready and could start. Mu Qi squatted down and lit the incense that was planted in the ground. Shen Nan also rushed out like an arrow fired with a full bow.

Mu Qi took a closer look at Shen Nan's figure rushing out, and shook his head, he already had a premonition that he would not be able to complete this task, so it was better to continue practicing slowly.

Shen Nan, who was running fast in the woods, threw a golden sword forward and stuck it in the tree in front of him, and jumped on the golden sword and rushed forward with the help of inertia. Time passed minute by minute, and Shen Nan's physical strength had been almost consumed in the back, and his speed gradually slowed down, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was very heavy to lift it.

After holding on for a while, I finally reached the starting point. Shen Nan gasped, the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks like a waterfall to the ground, and the incense on the side had long been extinguished.

"You've failed." Mu Qi stated the outcome of the matter in a very flat tone.

Shen Nan didn't answer, but he was very unwilling in his heart, but there was no way, he did fail, this is a fact. It's a really difficult task, but you can't be discouraged, right? Shen Nan took a deep breath, then looked at Mu Qi and said that he wanted to continue.

"You take a break, and by the way, I'll tell you about your flaws first." Mu Qi motioned for Shen Nan to rest against the tree, "First of all, your method is wrong, you consume both physical strength and ability, and you haven't completed the task yet." Now it's time for you to reflect on what you can do to accomplish this task without exerting too much stamina. Second, you are too anxious, and what you should do when you are exhausted is to calm down and consolidate your strength, and take advantage of the time to consolidate to recover your strength, and you tell me that you want to continue, do you still have the physical strength to support you to continue? ”

Shen Nan shook his head, indeed, he has no physical strength now, even if he insists on this state again, it is meaningless, it is better to sit and consolidate Peiyuan to recover his physical strength.

After about half a burnt of incense, Shen Nan felt that his physical strength had almost fully recovered, so he stood up and signaled that Mu Qi could practice for the second time. Mu Qi nodded, turned over from the tree and landed smoothly on the side of the incense stick, and the moment he lit an incense, Shen Nan also quickly rushed out.

Mu Qi still observed Shen Nan's figure, shook his head, it seemed that this time he still couldn't complete the task, and then walked towards the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion.
