Su Xiaolu was dumbfounded...

This didn't look simple at all.

After demonstrating, Gui You jumped down and said, "This is what you will practice every day. Go up and try it. You're still too young to do a finger stand. I won't make things difficult for you, so you'll practice standing on one foot first."

Su Xiaolu looked at Gui You and asked, "Master Gui You, my master said that I'm learning sword techniques."

This did not seem to have anything to do with learning swordsmanship.

Gui You looked at Su Xiaolu and sized her up. "Your foundation is too weak. You can't hold a sword yet. You can't learn sword techniques well without a good foundation."

"Change the foot every fifteen minutes. Today, You'll practice for six hours. If you ask again, it'll be eight hours. According to the rules of my sect, I have to teach you after taking in a disciple. If you don't learn, I can only kill you and take in a new disciple again."

Gui You's expression was serious. He did not treat Su Xiaolu as a child at all. He spoke the cruel truth directly.

Su Xiaolu's heart skipped a beat. Gui You didn't seem to be lying.

She had medical skills now, but she was no faster than his sword.

Su Xiaolu understood that her good days were over.

Six hours a day meant six hours a day, no excuses.

It was too late to regret becoming his disciple now. Su Xiaolu resigned herself to fate and went up the first stake.

She raised her right foot and raised both hands flat.

Gui You was very satisfied. He said, "There are a total of 51 large pillars here. You can change one pillar every fifteen minutes until you have stood on each pillar. Only then can you rest. When you are standing, you can practice the mental cultivation techniques."

Su Xiaolu nodded. It must be hard to practice martial arts. She just didn't expect it to be so hard. She had already gotten herself into this. It was too late to regret it now.

Su Xiaolu stood on a pillar and Gui You went to retrieve his sword. He practiced his sword techniques in the courtyard.

Su Xiaolu's attention was immediately attracted.

Gui You's swordsmanship was superb. When his sword turned, Su Xiaolu could not see it.

She only heard the sound of air being cut by a sharp blade.

That was amazing. Su Xiaolu's blood was boiling.

It was as if she had seen her future self.

This made her ignore her quickly numbing feet.

Unfortunately, after practicing for an hour, Gui You went to rest.

Su Xiaolu's legs were already numb. She could only grit her teeth and persist.

She changed her feet once every seven minutes. She couldn't even remember how many times she changed them. She just changed them one by one, as the number of big pillars dwindled.

She had circulated the mental cultivation techniques countless times.

When she went down the last column, both feet seemed to have turned to wood.

The moment she came down, Gui You came out. Seeing her move step by step and her face wrinkled into a bun, Gui You walked over and picked Su Xiaolu up.

"Master, both my legs are swollen."

Su Xiaolu pouted. It was really tiring to practice martial arts.

She was exhausted before she even touched the sword.

Guiyou reached out and grabbed Su Xiaolu's hand. He pressed his palm against hers and a warm current flowed into Su Xiaolu's meridians.

Su Xiaolu's eyes lit up. "Master, is this internal energy?"

Gui You's expression was calm. "Use the mental cultivation techniques to guide it to your lower limbs."

Su Xiaolu nodded obediently. Under the guidance of the mental cultivation techniques, this warm internal energy slowly flowed to her legs. Her uncomfortable legs felt much better, and her legs were not so stiff anymore.

After Gui You retracted his hand, Su Xiaolu continued to guide that small internal energy to circulate in her body.

She closed her eyes in pleasure. After hours of exhaustion, all she wanted now was a good night's sleep.

Gui You watched Su Xiaolu fall asleep and slowly retreated. He took his sword and went to the courtyard to wipe it. His calm expression turned gentle because of the curve of his lips.

The old man really did not lie to him. This girl was a genius.

Passing on his sword technique was his number one goal. He had traveled the world and could not find such a disciple.

Su Xiaolu had passed his first test perfectly.

When Su Xiaolu was standing, she did not know that she had actually been watching from inside the house.

He had said six hours, but in fact, it would be good if Su Xiaolu could last an hour. She had lasted, and he wanted to see how long she could last. It was an unexpected result.

Su Xiaolu endured the entire process. Her legs were not crippled and she could still walk.

The sleeping Su Xiaolu didn't know that that was what Gui You thought.

She entered the Space unconsciously and fell asleep. Spiritual energy surrounded her, making her feel comfortable.

The discomfort in her legs gradually faded.

When she woke up and found that she had fallen asleep in the Space, Su Xiaolu ran to the Spirit Spring to drink water.

Coming out of the Space, she stretched. How comfortable.

Her leg no longer hurt. When she got up, it was already dark.

Su Xiaolu went out and smelled the fragrance of food. She thought that she had woken up just in time and would be eating soon.

Perhaps because she was tired, Su Xiaolu's appetite had increased a lot today.

Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang felt their hearts ache.

Gui You said calmly, "You can buy more meat in the future. After practicing martial arts, she needs to eat more."

If her body was exhausted, she definitely needed to eat more.

Gui You also ate a lot. He looked thin, but his appetite was bigger than Su Sanlang's.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao nodded. They no longer lacked food and clothes at home, so they naturally wouldn't make the children suffer.

Besides, Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng were also growing up. They needed more food too.

Su Xiaolu was full and relaxed.

After Gui You left, Madam Zhao asked quietly, "Simei, is it difficult?"

Su Xiaolu shook her head and smiled sweetly at Madam Zhao. "No, no, it's not hard at all."

It had been a little hard at the time, and her feet had been numb, but Gui You had also used internal energy to help her relax. She had also been recuperating in the Space, so she didn't feel anything when she woke up.

She didn't want Madam Zhao to be too worried.

Studying martial arts would definitely be tough, but since she was determined to leave, she had to persevere. Gui You was very strict, but he was also teaching her with all his might. When she finished her apprenticeship, she could fly.

Since she wanted such skills, she had to work for them.

Madam Zhao sighed and didn't say anything else in the end.

She only felt her heart ache when she heard Su Sanlang say that Su Xiaolu had stood on the pillar all day. However, Su Xiaolu had chosen this path. Although her heart ached, she still supported her.

If she couldn't help with anything else, she could still put more effort into her meals every day.

After eating the next day, Su Xiaolu practiced on the pillars as usual.

This time, she saw Gui You practicing his sword technique at a much slower pace. After an hour, he stopped practicing.

After standing on the pillar and coming down, it was no different from yesterday. Her legs hurt so much that she felt like they were about to separate. She was brought back to her room by Gui You again.

When his internal energy entered her body, the pain in her legs and body gradually disappeared. Su Xiaolu smiled gratefully at Gui You and said, "Thank you, Master."

Gui You looked calm and said lightly, "Yes, go to sleep."

He felt that Su Xiaolu was recovering very quickly. She would recover after a night's sleep. After sleeping, she would be full of energy again. She had good potential.
