Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Defy Their Master

A muffled grunt of flesh striking flesh rang out.

A massive sword suddenly pressed down onto her back, making Xiao Yue feel immense pressure.

"Carry it properly. After one hour, you can put it down!"

He had specifically consulted the system about the training plan. As long as she used the correct posture and suitable weight, this would only benefit the little girl and do her no harm.

"Uncle, if I carry such a heavy sword, will it flatten me? Will I stop growing in the future?"

As she carried it, Xiao Yue began to let her imagination run wild, filled with worries about her future.

Is Uncle's training method really reliable?

"Don't worry about the results. Nothing I prepare for you will have any harmful effects.

Why do you think this sword is so large?

It's to distribute the force across your body better and ensure it won't harm you.

There's no issue with safety, and it won't affect your body either.

But you can still talk at a time like this. Is the greatsword too light? Should I add a little more weight?"

The moment Su Mu finished speaking, Xiao Yue immediately shut her mouth.

She had once thought Uncle was kind and approachable. Now, she felt that Uncle was simply a devil.

Uncle just wanted to torture her!

She was truly too pitiful.

Wasn't it just that her strength had risen a little too quickly? Was this really necessary?

Could Uncle be jealous of her?

Otherwise, why was he being so ruthless to her?

She really was such a pitiful child!

Second by second, time passed. Xiao Yue gradually got into the rhythm, her feet digging tightly into the dirt. Though she trembled slightly, she still clenched her teeth and stubbornly held on.

Su Mu had not expected the little girl to truly complete his task!

Sure enough, everyone's potential was limitless and not to be underestimated!!!

I Don't Want to Disappoint You

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The little girl's performance is truly not bad."

As time passed, Su Mu's expression grew increasingly delighted.

The little girl had truly exceeded his expectations!

Although he had set Xiao Yue's goal at one hour, he truly had not expected her to accomplish it.

Throughout the training, she had not said a word, complained, or shed a tear. She only sweated!

Even when Su Mu thought the little girl was about to give out, she still gritted her teeth and stubbornly endured!

With that stubborn determination, if she did not amount to something in the future, who would?

Looking at Xiao Yue, who was still gritting her teeth and holding on, Su Mu lightly waved his hand.

As his hand moved, the air rippled slightly. The greatsword on Xiao Yue's back vanished in the next instant.

"Girl, that's enough training. It's time to go home!"

Seeing that the little girl was still standing there blankly without moving, Su Mu could not help reminding her from the side.

"Huff... huff..."

"Uncle, let me catch my breath first. You suddenly took away the greatsword, and I can't adapt to it right away!"

At the instant the greatsword disappeared, Xiao Yue felt nothing at all. Her back had already gone completely numb.

The greatsword had been removed, but her legs felt weak, and she truly could not walk.

No, no, she was about to collapse onto the ground.

"Girl, you can't sit down and rest right after training. Take this chance to hurry home and soak in the medicinal liquid I prepared for you."

If she sat down to rest now, wouldn't all that effort be wasted?

Resting abruptly would only harm her body!

Hearing her master's words, Xiao Yue's lips trembled violently as she sucked in a cold breath.

Was that even something a person would say?

Her whole body had gone numb from training, yet she was not even allowed to sit down and rest?

She only felt a burning pain all over her body, with no strength left anywhere. Her legs especially were still trembling nonstop. How was she supposed to walk?

She only wanted to lie down and rest properly.

Yet Uncle would not even agree to such a tiny wish?

Although she knew Uncle's words surely had their own reasoning, that burning pain drilled into her heart, and she truly could not bear it...

Xiao Yue's body swayed, as though she could fall to the ground the next second...

"Girl, you already endured such a long training session. Can't you even endure this short walk home?"

They were only one final step away. How could the little girl give up now?

Xiao Yue gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand, then moved her feet shakily, inching forward little by little.

Each tiny step clearly used up every ounce of strength in her body.

Seeing the little girl like this, Su Mu truly could not bear it.

Had his training been a little too intense?

Had he gone too far with his words?

Su Mu slowly raised his hand. A stream of air formed in his palm, and with a wave, it swiftly entered Xiao Yue's body.

"Mmh... ahh..."

Xiao Yue could not help making a sound, both pained and strangely relieved.

Stimulated by Su Mu's stream of air, all the Dou Qi within Xiao Yue's body began circulating rapidly, seeming even more vigorous than before.

As the Dou Qi continued flowing through the meridians and acupoints throughout her body, she immediately felt a cool sensation.

Feeling finally returned to Xiao Yue's legs. Though the soreness was still unbearable, she could finally keep moving forward.

Although each step was still very small, her speed had clearly improved significantly compared to before.

At first, she might have only managed one step per minute. Now, she could take four or even five...

"Girl, keep it up!!!"

"That's it, keep going..."

"As long as you take two more steps, you'll recover soon..."

"As expected of my disciple, you're doing great..."

Every time Xiao Yue took a step, Su Mu praised her from the side.

Looking at the determination and stubbornness written all over her childish face, Su Mu felt both gratified and especially heartbroken.

The little girl truly had it hard!

"Uncle, I've worked so hard. Third Brother won't be able to surpass me now, right?"

After walking farther, Xiao Yue's strength gradually recovered, and she finally had the energy to speak.

Su Mu had originally thought she would complain.

But the result was always unexpected.

She only wanted to surpass her own Third Brother.

Was that really necessary?

Su Mu was somewhat puzzled by his Little Disciple's question.

"Girl, why do you want to surpass your Third Brother?

As your brother, isn't it perfectly fine for him to be stronger than you and protect you?"

"Why do I have to let others protect me?

I can protect myself too!

And I can protect others as well!

Master treats me so well. I don't want to disappoint Master either!"

Though speaking was extremely difficult for Xiao Yue, she was exceptionally earnest.

It was clear that every word she spoke came from her heart.

Su Mu was slightly taken aback by his disciple's answer.

Was the little girl really that serious?

Perhaps some recent events had affected her too.

Su Mu felt that he was partly responsible for this.

If he had not previously emphasized that Su Mu could surpass her within three years, would the little girl have been less desperate?

The little girl could work so hard just to help him save face and avoid disappointing him?

"You've done so well. How could you possibly disappoint me?"

It would have been impossible not to be moved.

Su Mu had not expected that after such a short time together, the little girl would care about him so much and hold such deep feelings for him.

"As long as Uncle is satisfied!"

Hearing that Uncle was very satisfied with her, Xiao Yue smiled happily.
