The Master and Disciple Break Through Together, Double Happiness
In the training field, a black-clad youth wielded Dual Blades, rapidly slashing towards a figure in front of him.
Before him, a figure in an azure robe held a wooden staff, Soul Power enveloping it, easily deflecting or parrying his attacks. Moreover, seizing upon any openings, the figure would abruptly strike the youth's chest and wrists with the staff, causing him to lose his grip on his weapons multiple times, or leaving him struggling to resume his assault.
"Your forehand lacks power, your backhand is unrefined, your footwork is sloppy, and your reactions are sluggish. Are you using your Dual Blades to chop vegetables? Forget about fighting people; at your current level, you'd struggle to kill a chicken. Is this all you've got without your Detached Blade Qi? Get back on your feet and attack me."
The two in the field were Han Li and Azure Luan . It had been three months since Broad Hill entered seclusion.
Since Broad Hill's seclusion, his follower family had arrived the very next day, and Han Li's arduous cultivation life had begun.
His daily schedule was packed, with even his sleep strictly regulated, much to the dismay of the sleep-loving Han Li. Broad Hill's followers were considerate enough not to force him too hard, and would occasionally grant him some leisure time during his cultural studies to relax.
However, Azure Luan Douluo didn't care so much. Noticing that Han Li particularly favored releasing ranged Blade Qi in his Dual Blades stance, somewhat neglecting basic close combat, she chose to personally guide him, beating him half to death with a small wooden stick.
*"Bang!"*
Han Li couldn't hold on any longer. After being struck on the leg once more by Azure Luan 's wooden stick, he collapsed, gasping for breath, not caring about the dirt on the ground.
"Alright, that's it for today. Tonight, after your Medicinal Bath, have them give you a good massage, so you can get up tomorrow." Azure Luan , seeing Han Li fall, took the initiative to end the session.
Han Li retracted his Martial Soul, wiped the sweat from his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Aunt-Master, you're too ruthless. It's one thing to hit me, but why the trash talk? You're just like Master."
Having spent three months with him, Azure Luan had grown accustomed to his way of speaking. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Didn't you teach me that? You're mouthing off to the teacher who's teaching you Blade techniques, even though you can't beat them. In another situation, if these weren't your teacher's followers, your head would have been gone already."
Han Li chuckled and retorted, "I apologized after hitting him, and even paid a hundred Gold Soul Coins for it. You didn't see how he was hoping I'd continue the next day."
"You have too many excuses. Stop being glib. You did pretty well today, lasting a minute longer than yesterday. Go wash up first and continue cultivating. Later, I'll take you to where your teacher is in seclusion. There was quite a commotion there yesterday; he's probably about to come out." Azure Luan instructed Han Li, whose face was streaked with dirt from wiping away sweat.
"Alright, then have someone notify me when the time comes. I'm going to get a massage first; I'm in so much pain."
Han Li struggled to get up, bid farewell, and limped towards his room, grimacing.
Azure Luan watched the little devil who constantly complained about "dying" but never missed a training session, shook her head, and turned to leave.
...
*"Plop."*
After rinsing off, Han Li jumped into the Medicinal Bath filled with the scent of herbs. Re-emerging, he greedily inhaled, comfortably lying on the edge of the pool, letting the warm water flow over his body and feeling the medicinal power being absorbed. However, the red and swollen areas still made him uneasy, and he let out a moan that could easily be misunderstood.
At the door, a creak sounded, followed by silence.
Han Li took off the towel from his face and called out without turning his head, "Alright, Sister Xiu'er, come in quickly. It's not like it's the first time. If you delay any longer, the medicinal power will be completely absorbed by me."
After his voice fell, Xiu'er's voice came from behind the nearby screen, "Little Li, you're so naughty. I'll come over after I change my clothes."
After dawdling for a while, Xiu'er finally emerged from behind the screen, her face flushed as she stepped into the bath, but still keeping a distance from him, burying her body under the water, only revealing her head, glancing at him from time to time, and quickly turning away when he looked over.
Han Li was helpless, but he couldn't say anything. Sister, do you have to be so shy just to take a Medicinal Bath? You're still wearing other clothes, and I'm still young. Although I've grown a lot after absorbing the First Soul Ring and training for these three months, it's not like I'm at the age where I can do anything bad.
Speaking of which, this change had appeared a month ago. Xiu'er had finally reached level ten, and Aunt-Master Azure Luan had directly brought a Crystal Bear that was over three hundred and eighty years old, allowing her to successfully absorb her First Soul Ring.
Perhaps it was because Xiu'er was already close to ten years old, and girls naturally developed faster than boys at a young age. With the blessing of the Soul Ring, Xiu'er had grown significantly taller, and her feminine features had become more pronounced. In addition, she liked to chat with the maids in the mansion, resulting in her blushing whenever she saw Han Li when they were alone in private, except on formal occasions, not knowing what she was thinking in her little head.
"By the way, Sister Xiu'er, later, after the massage, after I finish cultivating, let's go to where Master is in seclusion together. He should be coming out soon."
After soaking quietly for a while, feeling that his body was no longer absorbing the medicinal power, and seeing that she was still acting like a quail, Han Li got up, dried the moisture from his body, and said while changing his clothes.
"Okay, Little Li, should we prepare a gift?"
Hearing about serious matters, Xiu'er's mind finally cleared up, and she pondered and asked.
"Haha, there's no need. Everything we have is provided by Master, so what gift do we need to prepare? It's enough for us to go there."
Han Li smiled as he heard Xiu'er arranging things according to the previous noble etiquette.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Xiu'er nodded in response.
"Alright, you continue soaking. Remember to pay attention to the time and don't get dizzy."
Han Li pointed at Xiu'er, who had unknowingly stood up, and decisively fled amidst her embarrassed gaze.
...
After receiving the massage and treatment, Han Li resumed his cultivation. Although these three months had been torturous, they had also instilled good habits in him. At the very least, his lazy nature had been cured a lot, and he hadn't missed a single cultivation session.
Moreover, in this rather superior cultivation environment, he felt like a fish in water. More than a month ago, he had broken through to level fourteen, and now he faintly felt the threshold of level fifteen, and he might break through at any time.
During his sparring with Azure Luan just now, this feeling had become even stronger, and with Master coming out of seclusion today, he was even more eager to break through.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, but the mountain where the Elder Hall was located was always very bright, so there was no feeling of night at all.
Instead of dispatching a servant, Azure Luan chose to come in person. She was just about to knock on Han Li's door when she faintly sensed that the Soul Power fluctuations inside the room had intensified a bit. She was first taken aback, then scanned with her spiritual power, and a smile appeared on her face.
"This kid cultivates really fast. You master and disciple sure know how to pick your times."
Azure Luan waved her hand to stop Xiu'er, who had just arrived, indicating that Han Li was breaking through and telling her to wait aside for now. She just stood guard outside the door.
It wasn't until the Soul Power fluctuations inside Han Li's room stabilized that she took Xiu'er and pushed the door open to enter.
"Teacher-Aunt, I've broken through to level fifteen. It took a little longer. Teacher shouldn't have come out of seclusion yet, right?" Han Li opened his eyes, jumped straight off the bed, and asked happily.
"Yes, not bad. Broad Hill, on the other hand..."
Azure Luan nodded in satisfaction. She was only halfway through her sentence when suddenly, a sharp aura burst forth from the mansion not far away, even scattering many of the clouds in the sky, and the light seemed to brighten a bit. Her voice paused, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Let's go, I'll take you over there. Your teacher is also breaking through."
Having said that, without waiting for the two to reply, Azure Luan 's Soul Power quickly enveloped Han Li and Xiu'er, and she swept off in the direction of the surging aura.
