Shen Yu's arrogant thoughts are actually bottlenecks that every genius will encounter.

Just like a reader who reads a little book, it is easy to mistakenly think that he is very knowledgeable, but a person who is really well-read feels that there is no end to learning and life is small.

In the same way, every cultivator who has just come into contact with magical spiritual powers, as well as those spiritual herbs and elixirs, will have the illusion that he is omnipotent. But in fact, the monks below the end of the Dan are just starting their journey of thousands of miles on this long immortal road!

Most cultivators have already cultivated some basic three views in their family environment when they get the opportunity, but Shen Yu has not, and all he has been exposed to since he was a child is indifference.

Now that the environment is changing, he has built up his initial self-confidence, and he soon realized that many parts of the world are different from what he imagined.

Every smart child has tried in vain to develop a perpetual motion machine, and Shen Yu has realized for the first time that there are boundaries in this world that he can't reach.

For example, he is too weak now, and no matter how strong his talent is, he can't make up for his weakness.

After Shen Yu calmed down, he began to blush secretly for his ignorance - the master did not debunk it at the beginning, but tried to accommodate it as much as possible, and it was really a wordless gentleness.

This time, he really blamed himself for being too persistent...... His face began to heat up again, and he stretched out his fingers, grabbed Mei Yan's sleeve, and shook it gently.

"Master, I was wrong. Shui Ling's big eyes flashed with remorse, and he confessed his mistake cowardly, which really made every elder unable to regain his anger.

Mei Yan lost her momentum all of a sudden, and was finally overwhelmed by a motherly heart.

"It's good to know it's wrong. You are young, you should also have ambitions, and you are also kind enough to help me this time...... That's why I haven't said anything about you. ”

She touched Shen Yu's head, feeling the smooth and soft touch, and regretted that she had spoken too heavily just now. If this kid knew how to stop in moderation instead of digging into the horns, Mei Yan was going to keep it a secret and never tell him.

The spoiled apprentice was spoiled quietly, just like a father's love like a mountain, and Mei Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all!

"However, now that your realm has finally been consolidated, the focus of the next step is to dabble in a wide range of techniques, learn more, and use and practice more if you think it is convenient. ”

Shen Yu nodded and wrote it down, and then asked, "Master, which attribute spell is the strongest?"

Mei Yan said, "There is no strongest spell, only the spell that everyone is best at. You have a special talent, perhaps, you can try things that others can't use, such as the Five Elements Compound Spell?"

She shook her head uncertainly.

"No one has ever tried this kind of thing. The Three Elements Technique is now the main means of attack for high-end monks. If you really mix all the five elements, it should be very difficult, and if you don't do it, you will destroy the spiritual veins in your body! You go and ask Lingzhao, I really don't know anything about magic. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and ask Uncle Shi for advice. "It's also time to use the privilege of being a disciple.

Mei Yan remembered something again: "If you want to see how the current monks fight, you can go to the Diyong Wanjin Pavilion." ”

Shen Yu frowned, the territory of that dead fat man?

"It's a bit hot during the day, but every night they have a ring there and the occasional fight to the death. You can go and see the game, but I'm not welcome there, so I'll have to take you outside the melting pot. ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm there, it's going to affect the odds of the game inside. Mei Yan spread her hands, "I'm too lazy to look for it." But you still have to go, accumulate actual combat experience, and if you think it's okay, you will go out and fight!"

Shen Yu was unwilling: "I just have a master, don't fight with others." ”

Mei Yan felt amused, "Build a foundation and cultivate, fight with me?" ”

Shen Yu insisted: "Master is the most powerful person, I want to know how big the gap between me and you is." ”

This request made Mei Yan scratch her head a little. Just like every parent who is asked the question "how high is the sky" by her children, she herself doesn't know how to describe the gap.

After some consideration, she made a condition.

"You go to the proving ground and win a hundred battles, and then come back to me, and if at that time, you can stand against one percent of my moves, I will promise to train with you every day!"

One percent of the strength?

Shen Yu suddenly felt weak for a while, this bottom line is too low!

He had no concept of combat effectiveness in his mind. Since he can remember, his father has been healing, even if he was found by the people of the Mishan faction, he only felt a flower in front of him, and the father and son were caught by the strong man of Mishan and became prisoners of the stairs.

The ranks of Yudan, Yuanying, and Huashen are just names that he has heard of now.

Mei Yan didn't educate him, but just urged him to go to actual combat. Only by facing the attack against yourself can you experience what the difference in strength is!

It is impossible for the apprentice of the god of war Mei Yan to be a theoretician all his life. His identity does not allow it, and neither does the reality of the Sword Sect.

Don't look at the fact that Meishan Floating Island is very quiet now, it is just a manifestation that she has deliberately maintained recently, in fact, the territory of the Lingshan Sword Sect has always been a place of right and wrong!

......

Mei Yan finally got rid of the trouble of drinking medicine every day, and within a few days, she began to completely let go of herself.

If there was a mortal beside him, Mei Yan would need to completely suppress his sword qi and not show it at all, so as not to accidentally injure him, but Shen Yu is now a serious monk, and building a foundation to cultivate can block those sword qi that are not intentionally targeted.

Shen Yu finally understood that his master was not not not cultivating, but was cultivating all the time!

Mei Yan was always surrounded by various swords, some trampled under her feet, others hovering behind her, seemingly defensive, or just on standby.

Sometimes, she stood on the roof of the Lake Pavilion, her sword in her left hand, while the real flying sword was on the other side of the floating island, carefully carving a piece of dead wood, and sometimes she was basking in the sun at the door peeling pine nuts, while Shen Nian controlled a dagger and delicately peeled an orange - the outer skin of the orange had been peeled off, but the flesh inside was not damaged in the slightest, not a drop of juice had flowed down.

Shen Yu rarely took a nap today, and when he woke up, he saw this strange scene.

The orange skin and white pedicle had fallen on the ground in a thin layer, and a plate of orange petals had been peeled from the plate beside the master, and each petal was clean.

"Awake?" Mei Yan pushed the white porcelain plate towards him, "Don't stay so late next time." ”

She sent Shen Yu to the Dichong Wanjin Pavilion last night, but she waited outside until dawn - this was the first time he had watched the ring match!

Mei Yan knew very well that that kind of frenzied atmosphere was easy to indulge, and in the ring, even the concept of time was very vague. She didn't blame her apprentice for being attracted to that scene, but it was not good for the child's health to stay up late often.

Speaking of this, Shen Yu can still remember last night's carnival scene. "Master, all the things I've seen in the door are Fa cultivation, but why are there so many physical cultivations in the ring?"

"Really?" Mei Yan had finished peeling the oranges and began to peel a plate of pine nuts, "I haven't been there in a hundred years." ”

"Master, why is that?"

Mei Yan shook her head and explained, "How can those people be considered physical cultivation? It is that the Qi Refining Cultivator strengthens his physical strength a little, and then goes to the ring to make money. The fist and foot fight is good-looking, and you can earn some lowest-level magic crystals. ”

She was a little melancholy, "There have always been people like this in the ring...... There should be a lot of magic battles now, right? Disciples above Zhuji should not be messing around like this. ”

"Yes. There were ten battles between the Tsukiji monks, and finally there was a battle between the Yutan monks. I waited for this one to dawn. ”

"Is there a catch?"

"Yes!" Shen Yu's eyes lit up, "Master, do you think that the metallic spiritual power is the most aggressive?"

Mei Yan nodded and said, "Gold and fire attributes have the strongest destructive power, and many monks like to use them. But in the ring, victory or defeat is mainly determined by combat skills - there is no strongest spell, only the best one who can use spells!"

Shen Yu hurriedly took out his notebook and wrote down this sentence with charcoal.

When it comes to fighting, the god of war Mei Yan is definitely one of the most professional people in the cultivation world, and every word of her experience is a golden rule that can be written into the classics.

After writing it down, he saw another question written in the notebook, and asked by the way: "Master, what are the attributes of the thunder spell?" The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there is no thunder in it, but he saw a very powerful thunder technique yesterday, so he specially wrote down this question.

"Yo, there is actually Lei Fa in the ring now?" Mei Yan was also surprised, and stretched out his head to look at his small notebook: "Who?"

"Senior Brother Wen Renyuan, he uses a golden fire mixed thunder, and it is said that he is a disciple of Tianyi Sect. Shen Yu looked at the name recorded in the notebook and was very envious.

"He's one of the monks who fought yesterday. In the final game of the game, he used a thunder method, which is very powerful!"

"Oh. Mei Yan nodded indifferently, she had never heard of this kind of low-level disciple's name at all.

However, she still understands a little bit of this simple principle of magic, and she can answer questions and clarify doubts for her apprentices.

"Thunder is not an attribute, it is a phenomenon. Come, reach out and rub a wood aura for me. ”

Shen Yu cast the spell as he said, and Mei Yan waved his hand casually, and also threw out a trace of condensed metallic spiritual power.

- This is not sword energy, but the release of metallic spiritual power on her body.

This single aura does not have the slightest attack power. Miraculously, when the two spiritual powers came into contact, the two spiritual qi masses suddenly exploded, making a "bang" sound!

Shen Yu's hand hurriedly retracted, and there was no burn mark where his hands were blown up, but he really felt a burst of numbness and pain.

Mei Yan threw a pine nut kernel into his mouth: "When the attributes of Xiang Ke meet, they will collide if no one suppresses them, this is the principle of attribute thunder." You study the relationship between the five elements and Shengke slowly, and ask Lingzhao specifically, don't ask me! I can only throw metal, and I can't even count spells. ”

Seeing this novel phenomenon, Shen Yu became interested, and began to break his right hand with his left hand, trying to use different spiritual powers, but without success.

Mei Yan watched him play and continued to peel pine nuts.

"It's not that easy! I don't object to you refining medicine, because refining medicine is a test of subtle manipulation of spiritual power. In fact, your talent for controlling the five elements is good, but your skills always depend on accumulation, and you can't rush it. ”

Shen Yu lowered his head and played with his hands, and was soon uncomfortable by the spiritual power scurrying in his spiritual veins. It's just a matter of focusing on one point, if you want to release aura from both hands, or different attributes, it seems really difficult!

Mei Yan taught him in a rare and serious manner: "Remember, no matter what power you use, all the skills are the same. At the same level, the difference in strength is often not the gap in the aura reserve, but the gap in skill!"

Shen Yu listened to her words, and finally stopped, thoughtful.

Mei Yan didn't say much, picked up another pine nut, twisted his two thumbs and index fingers, and stretched out his hand for Shen Yu to see.

I saw that the upper and lower parts of the pine nut shell were neatly separated, as if cut by a sharp sword, and the pine nut kernels inside were still full and round, intact. Mei Yan threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and took another one at the same time, demonstrating in slow motion.

Shen Yu stared at her fingertips carefully, and this time he saw that there was a faint and almost negligible sword qi that cut a layer of pine nut shells, and Mei Yan's fingers twisted slightly, and it became like this.

Mei Yan pushed the pine nut plate to him: "Try it." ”

At the time of the meal, Shen Yu finally crushed all the pine nuts. Mei Yan shook his head at his results, and then threw a pile of wood at him.

- It's a waste of ingredients to use, so let's start with the simplest carved wood!
