"This disciple wants to withdraw from the Wanjian Army."
Chen Dong buried his head deeply and his voice was very low.
But Chen Dong knew that Master could hear him.
He pinched the hem of his clothes tightly, waiting for Su Li's answer.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The quietness of the room made people feel a little scary.
The atmosphere in the room was simply suffocating.
Chen Dong has never felt that time passes so slowly.
It seems that these short few breaths have gone through for more than ten years.
"Give me a reason." Su Li slowly drank a cup of tea and said calmly, "Chen Dong, what is your reason for quitting Wan Jianjun?"
"Disciple. My swordsmanship talent is too low. I am not qualified to stay here."
Chen Dong's tone was full of self-blame and depression.
And Chen Dong seemed to have opened a chat box, speaking out all the things that had been suppressed in his heart.
“It’s really hard to talk about.
In the beginning, when the disciple failed Master's test, he was actually very disappointed and worried.
The disciple was thinking, what would happen if everyone else passed the test, but the disciple alone failed.
However, when the disciple discovered that not only the disciple, but also no one else could pass the master's test.
In fact, in the hearts of disciples, they are very happy and relaxed.
The disciple is thinking - the master is so strong, and no one has passed the master's test, then it must not be my fault, and I won't let the master feel disappointed, right?
Later, everyone worked hard to pass Master's test.
However, even if the people around them become more and more powerful, whenever the disciple feels that they are not as good as the people around him, in the end the disciple will find that they still cannot pass the test of the master.
They are still the same as me.
They are still standing on the same starting line as me.
Always and always.
I have always had this mentality.
Thinking.
Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't pass Master's test. It's the same for everyone.
Therefore, even if I fail, it doesn't matter. This kind of lucky mentality has always existed in my heart.
but
When Zhuang Mou passed the test for the first time, the disciple discovered it.
like
Something is broken.
It seems that the excuse that has always been in the disciple's mind is about to be broken.
as expected.
In the following time, more and more Wan Jianjun's colleagues passed the test.
Jusu, Su Mu, and Wang Meng also passed the test.
But in the end, I was the only one left.
At this time, the disciple realized that, in fact, it was not Master who set this test to be too difficult.
But I am simply not suitable for practicing swordsmanship.
Master, I’m sorry.”
Chen Dong knelt in front of Su Li and kowtowed deeply.
"Master, I have let you down. Over the past year or so, I have failed to live up to your teachings, failed to live up to your expectations, and wasted your time."
Su Li looked at the disciple in front of him who had been awake for a long time, with a calm expression.
"You don't have to feel sorry for me." Finally, Su Li shook his head and said.
Su Li's words made Chen Dong tremble slightly.
"Actually, to be honest, for me, I really didn't expect it.
I never thought you would fail the test.
Because in my opinion, your swordsmanship talent is definitely not the worst among you.
I’m quite disappointed.”
"Master. I'm sorry."
Chen Dong's eyes were slightly red with his head still hitting the ground, as if he was about to cry in the next moment.
"There's no need to say sorry to me.
What disappoints me is not that you failed the test.
It’s not that your so-called swordsmanship talent is inferior to others.
What disappoints me is that you look like you have given up now."
"." Chen Dong raised his head with tears in his eyes.
Su Li sighed and continued:
"Chen Dong.
Do you know that in the eyes of many people, the swordsmanship talent you mentioned is a luxury?
If you weren't talented, you wouldn't be here.
Do you think I am strong, Master?"
"Eh?"
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, mainly because Su Li's turn was too quick.
As for whether my master is strong or not, do I need to say this?
"Master is the strongest swordsman this disciple has ever seen!"
Chen Dong solemnly spoke his true words.
In Chen Dong's opinion, his master is definitely the strongest swordsman in the world!
So what if there are sword cultivators who have reached the Ascension Realm?
My master will definitely enter the Ascension Realm by then.
At that time, the entire world will not be Master's opponent.
"Be strong, I think it's pretty strong too."
Su Li smiled and touched his nose.
Not to mention, it was quite satisfying to be looked at with such admiration by his disciples.
"But at the beginning, your master and I were stuck in the Furnace Building Realm for three years and couldn't get up."
"how come???"
Chen Dong looked at Su Li in disbelief.
His master was so powerful that he reached the cave realm in his thirties. How could he be stuck in a small furnace-building realm for three years?
"That's the truth."
Su Li said with a smile.
"At that time, I just wanted to be a little deacon and live a stable life. I didn't have much ideals.
At that time, my talent was indeed very poor. Many people advised me to stop practicing and just leave Qianling Holy Land. If I didn’t lie down, why bother?
Actually, I think what they said makes sense.
But your master, I refuse!"
As he spoke, Su Li's tone gradually became more passionate.
“I don’t want to be lost to everyone, and I don’t want to give up on my dreams!
I don't want to be looked down upon by others!
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!
I believe in myself!
Unless it’s the day when the sect expels me!
Otherwise! I will definitely not stop practicing!
I will try my best!
I want to let this day no longer cover my eyes!
I want all the Buddhas in the sky to disappear into smoke!"
The more Su Li talked, the more excited he became. He almost believed what Su Li said.
What Su Li said must be false.
No one ridiculed Su Li, and Su Li did not work hard to practice.
Su Li was able to enter the Dongfu Realm with the help of a complete system plug-in.
Practice?
nonexistent.
But Su Li definitely couldn't tell Chen Dong the truth.
I have to tell Chen Dong an inspirational story to help him regain his confidence!
The abbreviation - chicken soup!
"Finally, your master and I have finally reached the cave realm!
After arriving at the cave realm, I made rapid progress and experienced life and death battles again and again.
This is how we are now!
And Chen Dong, what about you?
Have you been stuck in the furnace-building realm for three years?
I’m afraid it won’t last for thirty days.”
Su Li patted his shoulder and said sincerely:
"Chen Dong, in fact, in my opinion, master, the most important thing is not the so-called talent in swordsmanship, but one's character and perseverance!
Only when a person truly breaks through his own confusion can he break free from the shackles and run forward with all his strength!
Even if you fail the test in the end, Master will not be disappointed in you.
You are all my disciples!
but!
There are still fifteen days left until the end of the test. If you give up right now, Master will be truly disappointed."
"Master."
Chen Dong's eyes swayed, but in Chen Dong's eyes, Su Li saw a gradually burning light.
This shows that Chen Dong's heart is alive again.
"Go and think about it, go and fight, and think carefully about what your swordsmanship is.
Many people say behind your back that you are girly and sissy.
But Master knows that you are very strong inside!
Master thinks you can become an upright man!"
Su Li patted his head with a smile:
"Actually, when Master was young, he missed one thing, that is, Master had a good friend. In fact, he was also said to be too feminine.
Later, he did a favor to the master, but after the master accepted his help at that time, he still dismissed his help.
Master knew that he had done something wrong, but because of his face, he never had the chance to say it out loud.
After that, he moved and left."
"Sometimes when I see you, Master will think of him. Now I want to say sorry to him, but I can't find anyone."
A trace of recollection flashed in Su Li's eyes.
"Master, in my opinion, you are all the same kind of people, and you are all kind-hearted.
Just work hard.
You just lack some confidence.
Lift your head.
You are a man!
A man who will save thousands of people in the future!
Don’t be coy!”
"Master."
"Okay, Master is gone. There are still fifteen days left for Master to see your swordsmanship!"
"yes!"
Seeing his master's back gradually leaving, Chen Dong bowed deeply.
"trust yourself!
My talent is no worse than anyone else!"
After a period of therapy from Su Li, the light of hope shone in Chen Dong's eyes!
Master is right!
There are still fifteen days left, and it’s not the end yet, so I can’t give up!
If I just give up like this, Master will look down on me! My companions won’t look down on me either!
At that time, what qualifications do I have to like Jusu?
And if I leave Wan Jianjun, I will never see Jusu again!
I am a man!
I don’t want to be taken care of and protected by Jusu all the time!
One day, I will stand in front of Jusu and block everything for her!
For the next fifteen days, Chen Dong went into seclusion.
When Chen Dong came out of seclusion, his whole demeanor changed!
In other words, it seems that Chen Dong's feminine aura has become much less feminine, and his whole person has become more masculine.
In fact, from Su Li's point of view, it wasn't that Chen Dong was lacking in femininity or anything.
In fact, Chen Dong has never been feminine.
It's just that Chen Dong is too socially intimidated, his character is too delicate, and he is full of lack of confidence.
So Chen Dong gives people a feminine feeling.
But now that Chen Dong has come out, he is even more confident.
He finally thought about it and chose to believe in himself and the sword in his hand.
After burning an incense stick, Chen Dong passed Su Li's test.
Everyone knew that Su Li did not let go.
If it were a duel between Master and Chen Dong, this would be called letting go.
What exactly is the duel between Master and himself?
Since then, a total of one year has passed, and everyone in Wan Jianjun has stepped out of his own way of swordsmanship.
And this is the real Wan Jianjun in Su Li's mind!
After Wan Jianjun was completely formed, Su Li also felt that he had nothing to teach them.
In the future, they need to polish themselves well on their own.
And the best way to polish it is on the battlefield.
It's time for the people in the world to take a look at the sharpness of the sword that they have spent so much effort to polish!
"Your Majesty, Mr. Su's rumor."
In the imperial study of Qi Kingdom, the maid bowed and bowed.
"Hmm." Xia Liuliu, who was sleeping on the soft couch, opened her eyes, "What's the matter with Su Li?"
"Master Su asked me to tell His Majesty that the one-year deadline has come! Wan Jianjun can already enter the battlefield. I don't know where to polish this long sword."
"."
In recent days, due to the wars in various places, Xia Liuliu did not pay too much attention to Su Li's Wan Jianjun.
What I didn't expect was that in the blink of an eye, the one-year deadline was up.
And Su Li said that he had trained Wan Jianjun. How far had he trained Wan Jianjun?
Xia Liuliu was indeed very curious about this.
Xia Liuliu stood up and walked towards the huge sand table in the center of the imperial study.
On this sand table, all important city defense lines in the entire Qianling Continent are marked.
There is also a red sign inserted above some city levels.
This shows that this city level is in danger and is almost about to be breached.
"Ceres City."
Xia Liuliu slowly spoke.
"Let Su Li lead the Ten Thousand Sword Army to Cereshen City."
"But Your Majesty, the situation in Ceres City"
The maid wanted to speak but stopped.
As Xia Liuliu's personal maid, she helps Xia Liuliu deal with various information all day long, so she naturally knows about Cereshen City.
Nowadays, Ceres City is in an extremely difficult situation. The battle line is on the verge of collapse. The general who defended the city is dead. Now the deputy general is in charge of everything in Ceres City.
The troops in Ceres City have been divided into two groups. One group is protecting the people of Ceres City and retreating, while the other group is defending to the death!
Ceres City has almost no chance to reverse the situation.
When Wan Jianjun entered the battlefield for the first time, shouldn't he win a relatively easy battle and build up morale first?
Now Wan Jianjun is heading directly into Cereshen City. This is a defeat and a bad start. How this affects the morale of Wan Jianjun!
"No problem."
Xia Liuliu shook her head.
"Since Su Li said that all Wan Jianjun has been trained, then I believe Su Li.
Our Qi Kingdom's Ten Thousand Sword Army was originally used to attack fortresses.
If you only pick soft persimmons, then what use do I have to have thousands of swordsmen!"
Xia Liuliu put her hands behind her back and looked out the door, as if talking to the maid or talking to herself:
"Let me see how sharp this sword is after being polished by Su Li!"
