Su Yuchen blocked the falling wooden sword with his arms pushing forward, and raising up from a half kneeling posture. His sword met Senior Brother Li’s sword before the attack's momentum increased. In that instant he moved his body to the right while pushing his sword to his left.
Senior Brother Li used the force from the push and pulled his sword to his right.
When he pulled the sword enough, Senior Brother Li dragged the sword to his left and slashed at Su Yuchen’s torso.

“Sss!” Su Yuchen hissed with the sharp pain in his wrist.
Senior Brother Li put some distance between them and said, “Take your position!”

Senior Brother Li searched and took out a bottle from his storage ring and gave it to Su Yuchen. He said mercilessly while raising the wooden sword in his hand, “This sword is made from a poisonous wood. Your wounds are poisoned. Apply the powder in this bottle.”
Su Yuchen was in unbearable pain. Just by slightly moving any part, he could feel the piercing pain from the cuts on his body. He couldn’t control himself and shouted at Senior Brother Li, “Why are you so cruel? Why did you injure me like this? This is not training anymore!”
Senior Brother Li grinned at Su Yuchen, his eyes cold, “I thought you will be proud. I thought you will get used to the pain from these cuts and show off the cuts as a symbol of a warrior and your mastery of sword. Why are you questioning me like this?”
Su Yuchen with red eyes roared at Senior Brother Li, “I only trained in the sword for one day. It was only once! I know nothing about it! Why will I show off? How can I bear the pain from the sword cuts?”
Senior Brother Li raised his lips slightly more, grinning, “Oh! Didn’t you just cultivate for a day and showed off your cultivation efficiency to me? Didn’t you bear the mental torment of cultivation? Why can’t you bear this little pain?”
Su Yuchen’s face twisted with Senior Brother Li’s answer, “What nonsense are you speaking, Senior Brother? How can you compare cultivation with pain from the sword cuts? Just because I was okay with the pain from cultivation, it doesn’t mean I am okay with the pain from cut wounds!”
Senior Brother Li coldly stared at Su Yuchen, “How can you be okay with the pain from cultivation but not from sword cuts?”
Su Yuchen was reminded of the advise Senior Brother Li gave him a few days back, he answered, “I am bearing that pain to progress in cultivation stages. I don’t think there is a valuable reason for me to go through this training method to master sword.”
Senior Brother Li stared at Su Yuchen, “You think going through pain will make you progress in cultivation but why don’t you know going through pain will make you master sword?”
Su Yuchen was irritated, “I need to be skilled and experienced in battles to master sword. The pain will come from battles not from practice. Practice doesn’t give the sword cuts like this training.”
Senior Brother Li nodded, he asked Su Yuchen, “True. Then what about the pain in cultivation?”
Su Yuchen thought the question and answered, “Pain comes from the relapse in our cultivation.”
Senior Brother Li put on a fake smile on his face, his face was frozen cold, he stared at Su Yuchen and asked, “You know nothing about cultivation and you are okay with that mental torment, why can’t you be okay with these small cuts?”
Su Yuchen was frightened by the stare of Senior Brother Li, he tried hard to answer, “I am cultivating for many months without getting hurt, I am used to it. I just started sword practice but I will not get used to the sword practice if I get injured daily.”
Senior Brother Li’s eyes stared at Su Yuchen coldly, “I am making you get used to these pains. You will be okay with the sword practice in a while.”
Su Yuchen stared at Senior Brother Li, “My arms will become paralysed if this type of training goes on. I don’t want to get used to this type of pain.”
Senior Brother Li patted Su Yuchen’s head, “This brain of yours can’t become paralysed after your intense cultivation, how can your arms become paralysed?”
“You need this type of training daily.”
Su Yuchen answered Senior Brother Li, “I understand why you are saying all this to me Senior Brother. However, I still think my method of cultivation suits me. I am not being reckless in cultivation just because I want to progress faster in cultivation.”
Senior Brother Li kept on staring at Su Yuchen, “No ordinary man’s mental energy can keep on holding the life essence through the twelve meridians at Meridian Refinement Realm. Your talent is fascinating for you to be able to do that.”
“However, you are being mental to keep on doing it twice in a day!”
“It is better for your health to follow the normal way. Collect all the lunar astral energy in your first circulation and then store the yin energy in the Ren Mai in your second circulation.”
“Don’t do three circulations and lead yourself to your death.”
“Your young body can’t bear the mental strain of the intense cultivation for long even with your talent.”
“Patience is the most important thing in cultivation.”
Su Yuchen became silent. He spoke after a few seconds, “I understood one thing after all this time, trying to cultivate in a normal way will make me bored of cultivation. I am already lacking motivation to cultivate if I get bored of cultivation on top of that there is no way I can progress normally in cultivation realms.”
“Also, believe me, there is nothing going to happen to my mind with my way of cultivation.”
Senior Brother Li said indifferently, “If pain is the motivation for your cultivation progress, it will also be your motivation for sword mastery.”
“From tomorrow, the intensity of sword practice will increase.”
“Try to get hurt as less as possible.”

“Liang Yu, take Liao Feng with you on this mission.” Wang Daming said to Liang Yu while passing the mission plate.
Liang Yu studied the mission plate and his face became confused, “This mission requires us to go outside the sect. Do you really want me to take Liao Feng outside during this period?”
Wang Daming nodded, “Liao Feng is the most talented in our gang. He needs to learn a lot of things. During this time he might also need to step up to fight Zhao Feng.”
“For that he needs to experience real fights and he needs to kill someone.”
“This mission will be a good practice opportunity for him. The disciple in charge of this mission follows a rival of Zhao Feng. You don’t need to worry about the safety of Liao Feng.”
