164 Master, I’m in Trouble
At first, Dong Xi had thought that it was her own problem, but as the sense of disharmony grew, Dong Xi removed all the useless sword moves.
The original sword move had been changed by Dong Xi to a wide-open move.
It was as if a ray of sunlight had broken through the layers of black fog and shone on the earth in the midst of a storm.
Dong Xi looked at the sword-testing stone in front of her, which had been cracked by her. She was scared. She immediately took out a jade slip and sent a message to her Master.
[Master, I need help!]
Daoist Yijian did not expect Dong Xi’s first message would be like this. This girl had only been his disciple for two days and she had already caused trouble?
Master Yijian quickly replied.
[What kind of trouble did you get yourself into this early in the morning?]
Dong Xi coughed guiltily and sent a voice message, saying, “Master, I accidentally cracked a sword-testing stone. Do you want me to pay for it?”
When Daoist Yijian heard this, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he thought about how Dong Xi had arrived so early. This disciple of his was really diligent!
Master Yijian said with great relief, “It doesn’t matter. The sword-testing stone is damaged every year. There is no need to compensate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he finally reacted. Something was wrong!
The sword-testing stone cracked? No way? A disciple who had just reached the fifth level of the Qi refinement stage had actually split the sword-testing stone?
Yesterday, she only made a small hole. Was she hiding her true strength?
Dong Xi did not know what Master Yijian was thinking. She only felt relieved after hearing that she did not need to pay.
“Thank you, Master. I’ll continue practicing my swordsmanship!” Dong Xi immediately sent a voice message.
Fortunately, she did not need to pay. Otherwise, she would have to work for free for a long time according to the stingy rules of the Ningtian Sect.
Dong Xi put away the jade slip and looked at the Purple Jade Sword in her hand.
Dong Xi pondered for a moment and finally changed to a piece of wood that had been struck by lightning.
No wonder Master allowed her to use a wooden sword yesterday. It turned out that the sword-testing stone was so fragile that it broke with a single strike.
After changing to wood, although it was not as comfortable to use as the Purple Jade Sword, she could get used to it after a long time.
When the first ray of sunlight shone out, a disciple of the Sword Sect came to the sword-testing array with a sword as usual. However, he realized that he was not the first one to come.
The disciple was stunned for a moment. He looked at the figure in the sword-testing array and waved the wood in his hand vigorously.
The person in the sword-testing formation wasn’t very tall. He was wearing men’s clothes and had a ponytail.
Wasn’t that Junior Sister Dong Xi?
Just as this person was in a daze, Dong Xi held the sword technique and repeated it twice.
Dong Xi was like a puppet, constantly repeating the same actions without a trace of impatience.
The disciple opened his mouth and wanted to say hello, but when he saw Dong Xi’s serious expression, he chose to shut his mouth.
He took out his sword and began to practice. Usually, this disciple would take a break after two hundred swings, but seeing that his Junior Sister did not take a break, how could he stop?
As more and more people practiced the sword, everyone’s heart also followed suit.
Everyone was practicing their swordsmanship, and no one was thinking about resting!
In the end, the first disciple who came here was exhausted and accidentally twisted his waist.
The sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound under the double gravity.
Dong Xi heard the voice and stopped what she was doing. She looked over.
Only then did Dong Xi realize that there were already many people around her. One of the disciples was holding his waist and trying to pick up the sword that had fallen to the ground with difficulty.
Dong Xi walked over and helped pick up the sword, placing it in the disciple’s hand.
The disciple said excitedly, “Junior Sister, you’re amazing! You’ve been practicing for so long, yet you don’t feel tired?”
Dong Xi looked at the disciple’s waist and asked, “Senior Brother, did you sprain your waist?”
At this time, the surrounding disciples also came over and one of them said, “Wukong, you’ve really worked very hard today. Usually, you’ll only practice for a while and rest for a while. Why didn’t you stop at all today?”
Wukong said with a bitter smile, “I woke up early and found that Junior Sister was already practicing the sword. She didn’t rest at all. As her Senior Brother, I’m so much older than her. How can I rest?”
Everyone instantly looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi smiled and said, “Senior Brother, have you forgotten? I have the wood spirit root, so I have an endless supply of wood spiritual Qi. When I’m tired, I only need to circulate the wood spiritual Qi for two rounds, and the fatigue will disappear.”
As Dong Xi spoke, she even used wood spiritual energy to help Wukong relax his waist.
The uncomfortable feeling at Wukong’s waist instantly recovered. Wukong cupped his fists and said, “Many thanks. Junior Sister, you’ve helped me out of justice. I’m ashamed!”
