Battle Through the Heavens: There Were Always Rebellious Disciples Who Wanted to Deceive Their Master 49

Xiao Yue gripped her sword again and performed the seven sword forms over and over.

As she wielded the sword, she seemed especially numb, devoid of the slightest emotion, as though she were unwillingly sulking at Su Mu.

Su Mu saw all of this, but he did not say much.

If the little girl wanted to sulk, then she could keep practicing. As long as Su Mu did not call a stop, she would have to continue.

After practicing more, Xiao Yue discovered that her movements were becoming smoother, as if she had improved compared to before.

The discovery delighted her immensely.

It had been a long time since she had felt any progress in her swordsmanship.

Xiao Yue had already practiced the Seven Stars Consecutive Sword to the major mastery stage. The next step was perfection, but how could perfection be so easily attained?

Yet why was today different?

Had Uncle noticed something?

Xiao Yue did not believe that Uncle merely wanted to watch her practice swordsmanship. There had to be some deeper meaning behind it.

Now was not the time to sulk.

Xiao Yue immediately became serious.

She closed her eyes, and every method of performing the Seven Stars Consecutive Sword flashed through her mind one by one.

A moment later, her eyes snapped open. The wooden sword in her hand suddenly thrust forward, then shifted continuously.

First form, second form, third form... sixth form, seventh form!

Everything flowed as naturally as water!

Xiao Yue executed every sword form with flawless ease, without the slightest hint of stiffness. It was an entirely different feeling from before.

As she wielded the sword, Xiao Yue could clearly feel the difference in herself.

Her movements were light and nimble, and the sword technique drew along her Dou Qi without any effort at all, yet its power was even greater.

A fallen leaf drifted through the air. Xiao Yue seemed not to notice it as she gently raised her sword. The leaf split in two instantly with a faint sound.

After completing one round, Xiao Yue felt no satisfaction at all and continued practicing again and again.

This time, she was no longer merely following the sword forms. She had cast off a restraint, and her movements became faster and more agile.

Xiao Yue had lost count of how many times she had practiced the Seven Stars Consecutive Sword, but it had never flowed as smoothly as it did today.

Xiao Yue once again performed the seven sword forms in succession. Dou Qi wrapped around her wooden sword and turned into a sword aura that flew from the blade, striking a huge tree not far ahead.

Boom!!

The huge tree burst apart in response.

The sudden sound gave Xiao Yue such a fright that she jolted.

What had just happened?

Xiao Yue seemed not to have realized what she had just done or how much noise she had caused.

"Uncle, what just happened? Where did that loud noise come from?"

Xiao Yue was a little confused.

She had only been casually practicing with her sword. How could someone come and disrupt her?

She had just been getting into it, yet someone had the nerve to ruin her mood.

Still, there was one good thing: she had thoroughly mastered the Seven Stars Consecutive Sword. Otherwise, she would have been furious.

"What happened just now? Don't you know that yourself?"

At a time like this, the girl was still pretending to be clueless in front of him?

Making progress was naturally a good thing, but did she have to be praised before she would be satisfied?

"Uncle, if there's something, just say it clearly. What exactly happened?"

Judging by the way his Little Disciple spoke, she did not seem to be lying.

Could it be that she truly did not know what had just happened?

Had she become so absorbed in practicing swordsmanship?

"Nothing much happened. Your swordsmanship was good, and it seemed you made quite a breakthrough. Then you destroyed the tree in front of you."

As he spoke, Su Mu pointed at the huge tree before Xiao Yue. At this moment, however, only a miserable stump remained, with plenty of white wood chips scattered around it.

Tsk, tsk. That was rather exaggerated.

"Uncle, are you saying that I destroyed that huge tree in front of me?

You have to be joking, right?"

Xiao Yue's eyes widened and her mouth fell open. Clearly, she did not believe it.

The tree stump was about half a meter thick. How could she possibly have destroyed such a sturdy tree?

Was Uncle making fun of her?

Since when had she possessed that kind of strength?

If she could truly do that, she would probably have become a Dou Zhe long ago. How could she still be stuck at Dou Qi?

"I told you, but you still don't believe me? What reason would I have to deceive you? What benefit would deceiving you bring me?"

He had made himself so clear, yet the little girl still would not believe him?

Had she not been quite confident before? What was wrong with her today?

Why did she not trust herself anymore?

It was only that the sword technique's power had increased a tiny bit. What was the big deal? What was so hard to accept?

This was nothing yet.

Chapter 49: Learning a New Dou Technique

"Uncle, did I really cause this?"

Even though she had already asked several times, Xiao Yue still found it hard to believe.

Every time she received an affirmative answer, she would grin foolishly.

Who knew what she was so happy about?

Was there really any need to be this excited?

Seeing his silly Little Disciple, Su Mu began to wonder whether she had gone stupid.

"I actually practiced the Seven Stars Consecutive Sword to perfection! This is a realm no one in the entire Xiao Family has reached! So I'm that amazing?"

Xiao Yue scampered over to the tree stump and gently stroked it with her hand, her eyes brimming with affection.

To Xiao Yue, the stump of that huge tree was practically like a lover!

In Xiao Yue's eyes, every wood chip around her suddenly seemed charming.

"That's enough!"

A girl hugging a tree stump was truly painful to look at!

Su Mu suspected that if he did not stop her, his Little Disciple would end up living with the tree stump.

"Uncle, did you know all along that I could practice the Seven Stars Consecutive Sword to perfection?"

Uncle truly had keen eyes; nothing could escape his notice.

He had actually discovered everything long ago?

No wonder Uncle had made her keep practicing her sword!

She really was a genius!

She had merely practiced the sword forms a little more and successfully brought a Sword Skill Technique to perfection.

What else could possibly stump her?

"Have you laughed enough?"

"You mastered one Yellow Tier Sword Skill, and now you're getting carried away?"

"Can't your goal be a little higher? Can't your ambitions reach a little farther?"

"How can a mere Yellow Tier Sword Skill satisfy you?"

"Now, I have to make you face reality!"

"You have only mastered one Yellow Tier Sword Skill so far, but your brother has already mastered more than two Mysterious Tier Dou Techniques and still remains so low-key. Shouldn't you learn from him?"

Su Mu was not particularly clear on Xiao Yan's current situation.

Although he had read Battle Through the Heavens, he could not possibly know every single detail.

But it did not matter. He only wanted to motivate his Little Disciple right now. Whether it was true or not did not matter, because it would definitely become true in the future!

"Uncle, are you joking?

With my brother's Third Stage of Dou Qi strength, even if you gave him a Mysterious Tier Dou Technique, he probably couldn't use it, right?"

Xiao Yue did not believe Su Mu at all.

It completely defied common sense!

What could that tiny amount of Dou Qi at the Third Stage of Dou Qi even do?

Could he at least make his lies a little more convincing?

Even if Uncle wanted to motivate her, there was no need to make such an outrageous joke.

"Your brother is already at the Fourth Stage of Dou Qi."

Su Mu corrected one point for his Little Disciple.

"Besides, your Third Brother has a master. Naturally, his strength has improved considerably. Learning a Mysterious Tier Dou Technique early on would not be too difficult for him!"
