“I’m sorry, Muyu, this old man misremembered. Your talent has little to do with whether the fish you catch are big or not.”
“?”
It was said that the world of adults was dangerous and complicated. Even Wang Muyu himself hadn’t expected that even though he had been so careful and cautious, he had still been tricked in the end.
In the end, it was because the person standing in front of him had been planned by Wang Ling, and it was precisely because of his boundless trust in Wang Ling that he had relaxed a little.
Of course, another key point was that Wang Muyu felt that this old senior who was highly respected in the cultivation circle on Earth, who had been a great general of Huaxiu nation in the past, wouldn’t use any means to test a child like him, i don’t think we need to test him?
However, the old man used it, and it was quite natural, the acting can not see any flaws..
Wang Muyu sighed in his heart.
Well, I’m still too young after all.
When faced with the Grand Swordmaster’s inquiry, the little guy naturally showed his timid and innocent face, and his eyes were still twinkling with dazzling starlight
His reaction speed was also very fast. “Eh? is that so? But I didn’t feel any discomfort when I held the rod?”
Yi Jianchuan frowned and immediately took the rod back from Wang Muyu’s hand. Then, he was surprised to find that there was a thin and invisible crack at the end of the rod.
“There is indeed a crack.”
Yi Jianchuan mumbled.
So the fishing rod was damaged… the spiritual pressure inside was out of balance, so that was why Mu Yu could hold the rod for so long?
In this way, everything seemed to make sense.
How could a six or seven-year-old kid hold the fishing rod for so long? It was too exaggerated for a peerless genius to hold it for more than ten minutes.
Seeing the sword saint sighing in disappointment, Wang Muyu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Of course, he knew that the sword saint was not that easy to fool. Although his cultivation and combat strength were not as high as his, his experience was vast. What kind of things had he not seen before?
The fishing rod used for the test was a top-grade holy weapon. Even if the sword saint was puzzled, he would never have thought that the invisible crack was deliberately created by the child in front of him.
How could a six or seven-year-old child break a top-grade holy artifact?
What kind of joke was this.
Therefore, Yi Jianchuan stared at the damaged fishing rod in his hand and said somewhat dispiritedly, “Muyu, why don’t we change the test method?”
“Sure.”Wang Muyu accepted it readily and then revealed a harmless smile.
One learns from one’s mistakes.
This time, he would be extra careful.
..
A bamboo raft drove from the west entrance of the artificial lake to the east. Ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake as the bamboo raft drove.
No one was sliding the bamboo raft. It was purely the pushing effect caused by the sword Qi released by the sword saint.
“After mastering the sword control technique, you can use this technique in all aspects. When I was cultivating the way of the sword in the past, I would often use all kinds of strange objects to cross the river.”
“For example, reeds?”
“Everything.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Jianchuan stopped the bamboo raft. He raised his sword finger and gently tapped the surface of the lake. Droplets of lake water were accurately peeled off the surface of the lake. Under the influence of the sword qi, the water droplets that were peeled off were clearly separated, they neatly lined up in the air into an endless sky ladder.
He directly stepped on the water droplets and flew up into the sky. He did not use any magic tools or floating spells. He just used his own sword Qi to control the water droplets on the surface of the lake to build a sky ladder in the air and hover in the air.
Wang Muyu could have done the same thing. However, for some reason, he was still stunned when he saw the sword saint disappearing from his sight. He did not know why he was so engrossed in the scene.
Buzz!
When he came back to his senses, the old man had appeared in front of him again. He landed on the bamboo raft lightly like a leaf without any extra fluctuations.
“When you practice the sword, you must first cultivate your heart. As long as your heart is deep enough, your sword will will naturally be able to reach all directions and cross all the places you want to reach.”
Then, he continued to skillfully operate the bamboo raft with his hands behind his back. The demeanor of a sword saint was ready to be displayed, and he was extremely patient and gentle.
Wang Muyu’s heart was as clear as a mirror. The speed of this bamboo raft could actually be faster, but the old man had given him a process of adaptation in order to take care of him.
It was at this moment that Wang Muyu suddenly understood why Wang Ling had chosen to let him cultivate alongside Yi Jianchuan.
As they crossed the lake on the bamboo raft together, an unprecedented sense of peace and comfort came over them.
It was hard to believe that his realm and battle prowess were clearly far stronger than sword saint’s, but at this moment, he was being affected instead, making him feel unreal.
“Oh right, Grandpa Sword Saint, Where Are We Going?”At this moment, Wang Muyu asked.
He knew how to read minds as well, but for some reason, Wang Muyu didn’t really want to use this person in front of him anymore. Even if he used the method of reading minds, the other party might not know about it, so it was better not to casually steal other people’s thoughts, this was also a form of respect.
When he was on the shore, he was careless, so he didn’t read minds.
Now, on this bamboo raft, due to the sudden respect, Wang Muyu once again gave up on the idea of using his mind-reading method.
Hearing the little guy change the way he addressed him, Yi Jianchuan naturally beamed with joy. “I want to bring you through the Dragon Gate.”
As he said that, he used his sword Qi to control the lake water below and directly set off a huge wave. Using the bamboo raft as a skateboard, he brought Wang Muyu along on the waves.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of a huge wall. This was the sluice gate of the man-made lake.
“If I want to go from this man-made lake to the big reservoir, there are two ways. One is to hold my breath and swim through the passage at the bottom of the lake. The second is to jump over this two-hundred-meter-high sluice gate.”
Staring at the two-hundred-meter-high sluice gate in front of him, Wang Muyu fell into deep thought… it was naturally not difficult for him to jump over.
But after all, Yi Jianchuan’s knowledge of him was limited. If he really jumped over it, there would be problems instead.
So what was the best way at this time? Wang Muyu had been influenced by Wang Ling, and could be said to have been teaching by example. When faced with a task that he could clearly complete but had no choice but to give up, he usually just had to pretend to work hard for a while.
He frowned and was thinking about how many meters he would have to jump to fall properly.
In the end, sword saint slapped his thigh and said excitedly, “As expected… you’re the disciple that this old man is looking for!”
Wang Muyu:”?”
Sword saint was moved. “Under normal circumstances, a child your age would have given up long ago when they saw such a high barrier. “But you, Mu Yu, are different. You actually want to leap over it! “I’ve decided that I will officially accept you as my disciple today!”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Wang Mu Yu’s big eyes immediately revealed a great amount of doubt.
He did not expect that he would actually be tricked twice in one day..
