Chapter 116: A Teacher from Far Away (2)
Master Wang's words made the young Su Mu fall into deep thought.
Ever since the talent began to be revealed, the entire Cold Mountain Sword Sect knew that Gao Yuanshan alone probably wouldn't be able to teach Su Mu anything.
Even Su Mu himself thought so.
The Sword Sutra Dao Collection in the Hanshan Sword Sect Library has been completely eaten by himself, and he doesn't feel that there is anything worth studying.
And although Master Gao Yuanshan's strength is higher than Su Mu's, he is only better in cultivation, and if he is more than Kendo comprehension, Gao Yuanshan, who has lived a lifetime, is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with Su Mu, who is only fourteen years old.
In addition, Su Mu now even has mastered such a profound meaning as the Taibai Sword Technique, and he is somewhat disdainful of the sword moves collected by the Hanshan Sword Sect.
This kind of factor also invisibly grew Su Mu's arrogance, and even had higher expectations for himself.
He will eventually become an eagle that soars for nine days, Su Mu firmly believes this.
And such a big expectation will bring pressure, and now Pingxi Yu has put Ding Ruoyan, the best among his peers, and the three-year appointment is like a mountain pressing on Su Mu.
The age is similar, the cultivation is complete, and even the perception of kendo does not seem to be much different.
Can you beat this fellow genius?
Su Mu hadn't seen Ding Ruoyan with his own eyes, and he didn't dare to say how sure he was.
But if he fails, he will not only have to be a guard for Pingxi Yu for many years, but he must also obediently return to the Hanshan Sword Sect to inherit the position of head and spend his life according to the path planned by his master Gao Yuanshan.
Whether it is to bear the consequences or break the contract, it is more uncomfortable than asking for Su Mu's life.
As Wang Shi said in front of him, when he boasted about Haikou, he was high-spirited, and he couldn't even deal with the pressure caused by the consequences of failure, which was ridiculous.
Although Su Mu is also keen to challenge the limit, he has often crossed the level of challenge in the past four years. But most of these are done as a last resort, and it is the martial arts at the time of life and death, and the chance to pass the test smoothly also occupies a large factor.
Don't mention anything else, just say that the Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Technique that appeared out of thin air in his mind when he took Pingxi Yu's move was not within the scope of Su Mu's pre-plan.
If it weren't for the help of that sword technique, I was afraid that Su Mu would have been seriously injured or even killed under the half of Pingxi Yu.
Obviously, such uncertainties cannot be counted as conventional weapons of their own.
If it was a situation where he had to fight, Su Mu only needed to bite the bullet, but since Su Mu was given three years to prepare, with Su Mu's cautious character, he naturally had to be strict and make the most perfect preparations.
The burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing is carried like this.
Although the tone was still flat, Master Wang's words obviously had a sense of teaching and reprimand, Su Mu couldn't have felt it, and he could only bow his head and remain silent at the moment, and even a little afraid to look directly into Master Wang's eyes.
Su Mu knew very well that Master Wang was a real top master, much stronger than his master Gao Yuanshan. In front of Gao Yuanshan, who raised himself to grow up as a master and a father, and had an average understanding, Su Mu relied on Gao Yuanshan's preference and attention to him, and still had the courage to occasionally make some rebellious confrontations within the rules.
But when he treated Wang Shi, he didn't dare, and he didn't want to.
Su Mu believes that Master Wang is a good teacher who can really help him get out of the predicament in front of him.

Thinking of this, Su Mu took a deep breath, raised his head, and met Wang Shi's gaze again.
Wang Shi could see that in just a moment, the anxiety and shame in Su Mu's eyes had been suppressed, and only longing had been replaced by it.
The desire for progress in cultivation, the desire to break the deadlock.
"It is indeed a malleable talent, with a very high level of understanding and a good heart. Seeing that Su Mu adjusted so quickly, Master Wang was also very satisfied.
"I also hope that Master Wang will not hesitate to give advice!" Su Mu lowered his head again, bowed solemnly three times, and put the sword in his hand in front of him.
This is the official rite of apprenticeship.
Wang Shi's face was not shocked, but he just stretched out his hand and patted it lightly on Su Mu's sword, which was regarded as answering Su Mu's request.
From this moment on, Master Wang can be regarded as the second master of Su Mu's sword path.
"Figured it out?" asked Wang Shixiao with a smile.
"The disciple figured it out. Su Mu replied firmly, "The disciple will no longer be trapped by the pressure of failure, instead of feeling that the road is difficult, it is better to set off immediately." ”
"That's a good mentality. Master Wang stroked the beard that was not long on his chin, "But there are still other reasons for your cultivation to stagnate. ”
"Other reasons?" Su Mu was stunned, looking at Master Wang's expression very seriously, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"How long has it been since you've practiced basic sword moves again?" asked Master Wang.
"Basic sword moves" Su Mu seemed to know what Master Wang wanted to say.
In the three years in Butterfly Valley, Su Mu has never stopped practicing basic sword moves for a moment, but since he met the Taibai Sword Technique in the Drunken Immortal Residence, Su Mu's whole heart has been on the unfathomable mystery, and even reading the Dao Collection in the library building in the future is just to better understand the Ten Thousand Thunders.
Since returning to the Cold Mountain, Su Mu has not touched the basic exercises for a long time, and even most of the middle and high-level moves recorded in the Cold Mountain Sword Sect have only been swept away, and he has skipped the mechanism after mastering it, and he has not the slightest mood to continue studying.
No matter how strong a Sword Sect master is, he must go through a lot of basic exercises to lay a good foundation, this is the basic concept that all Sword Sects in the world believe in, and Gao Yuanshan has always taught Su Mu in this way.
The path of the sword is so deep that there are no shortcuts. Without a solid foundation built by solid hard work, the higher you go, the more difficult the kendo will be.
However, Su Mu thought that these moves that could be understood at a glance were too boring compared to the difficult and obscure Taibai Sword Technique, and he really couldn't muster the energy to repeat this mechanical practice process.
Even if he has a lot of knowledge, in some ways Su Mu is still just a teenager. It is not difficult to understand that the juvenile mind is more keen to create than to repeat.
After the conflict between the master and apprentice on the succession of the head of the family, there was a gap between the two, and Gao Yuanshan's prestige in Su Mu's heart gradually declined, and since Su Mu's return, Su Mu's teachings in practice have become increasingly scarce.
Gao Yuanshan may have felt that he could no longer help Su Mu with his own ability, and Gao Yuanshan also felt a little guilty about this disciple after the gap between master and apprentice, and he had some concerns about this aspect when he avoided it on weekdays.
For Su Mu, the lack of an existence that can beat him on issues of principle is very detrimental to the growth of the teenager.
