Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr A year passed quickly, and Ling Lan was about to turn six. Ling Lan, who had always complained that time passed too slowly, now began to complain that it was passing too quickly.
Ever since she had started practicing the Ling family's inherited physical skills at the age of five, Ling Lan had begun to boldly train in the Body Refining Nine Stances. In this one year, she had gained more than she had in the previous three and a half years. Before she turned five, she had barely managed to complete the first four stances, but in this one year, she had managed to complete the last three stances. The Body Refining Nine Stances got harder and harder the further one progressed, and the more time it took.
Unfortunately, Ling Lan did not relax because of this, but instead felt even more pressured. There was only half a year left in the learning space's deadline to learn the Body Refining Nine Stances. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, she had not even completed the eighth stance, let alone the most difficult ninth stance.
Therefore, she couldn't wait to make full use of every second she had. Even when she was eating, she was in battle mode. The exaggerated speed at which she ate made her mother, Lan Luofeng, melt. Lan Luofeng burst into tears as she stared at the picture of Ling Lan's father. She felt that she had let her husband down. Her child had been led astray by her, no longer behaving like a member of a large family.
Even so, the deadline was right on time. Although Ling Lan had successfully completed the eighth stance, she could not complete the ninth stance no matter how hard she tried.
Ling Lan really did not want to face Instructor Number One. Unfortunately, the learning space did not allow Ling Lan to escape. When the countdown reached zero, Ling Lan's consciousness was pulled into the learning space.
Once again, she arrived at the physical skills learning space. As soon as she entered, she felt that the air was colder than before. Number One was already standing there, ramrod straight, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Ling Lan rubbed her arms, trying to soothe the goosebumps on her body. In the face of such a strong person who was emitting a cold aura, Ling Lan couldn't remain calm for a while.
At this moment, Number One's aura was even colder than the last two times they had met. Although his eyes were still as calm as ever, without any hint of emotion, Ling Lan still accurately received the signal that Number One was extremely unhappy.
God, Number One must be dissatisfied with her performance this time. Ling Lan's sixth sense was very strong. She quickly put on a serious expression and said submissively, "Instructor Number One, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Number One said coldly, "It doesn't matter. We are only responsible for guiding you. Whether you cherish it or not is entirely up to you. It has nothing to do with us. You're apologizing to the wrong person. "
Although Number One acted as if it had nothing to do with him, Ling Lan could still feel the strong dissatisfaction in his words.
Ling Lan was in tears. 'Instructor Number One, what do you mean?' What was he trying to do?
Although Ling Lan was complaining in her heart, she didn't dare to show any disrespect on her face. She also didn't dare to explain anything. She could only lower her head.
In the end, Ling Lan still had a guilty conscience. In the first three years, she had indeed wasted a lot of time and did not cultivate properly. Of course, a large part of this was because she was wary of the endless stream of people watching over her from the Ling family. Being cautious, she only took the time to cultivate when her mother was asleep. Every day, she would only cultivate for five to six hours at most, which greatly slowed down her learning progress. Although later on, because she was practicing the Ling family's inherited body techniques, she could no longer make up for those wasted hours.
"Practicing the Body Refining Nine Stances. Completed the first eight stances. Ninth stance completed at 69%. Mission incomplete. Punishment: 1. Penalty: 200 honour points deducted. Insufficient honour points may be exchanged for other options. 2. Corporal punishment: 200 electric shocks! 3. Use honour points to exchange for time delay. Failure to complete will result in double punishment. Please choose! "
The learning space's system mercilessly announced Ling Lan's punishment options. This surprised and delighted Ling Lan. She was surprised because the system was too ruthless. Whether it was a penalty of honour points or corporal punishment, she didn't want to choose until the very last moment. Honour points were too precious, she couldn't bear to use them. As for corporal punishment … ahem, she didn't have any masochistic tendencies.
She was delighted because the system still gave her a chance to make up for it. However, when Ling Lan saw that the punishment was doubled, her little heart couldn't help but tremble violently several times. A chill spread from her spine to the top of her head.
At this time, Number One's cold voice rang out, "Speak, which one do you choose?"
Ling Lan asked carefully, "Instructor Number One, can you help me explain the third option?" If it didn't cost that many honour points, Ling Lan really wanted to give it a try.
Number One glanced at her and said coldly, "You can use 10 honour points to exchange for 30 days of time. You can continue to practice the Body Refining Nine Stances within these 30 days. If you complete it on time, the punishment will be cancelled. If you fail to complete it, the punishment will be doubled."
Ling Lan's heart leaped with joy. She could still afford to lose 10 honour points, but she had to complete the final nine stances within 30 days. This was a little more difficult. To be honest, Ling Lan had no idea how many days she would be able to complete it. Perhaps it would be one month, or two months, or even three months. She might not even be able to do it in a year. Ling Lan still remembered that when Instructor Number Nine had taught her the Body Refining Nine Stances, she had said that mastery of these nine stances required a certain amount of luck and awareness. Not a single one could be missing.
Should she give it a try? Ling Lan was very hesitant, but in the end, she still couldn't bear to part with those precious honour points. She also couldn't bring herself to torture herself, so she decisively chose the option of exchanging honour points for time.
By the time Ling Lan had stated her choice, Ling Lan immediately felt the temperature of the learning space rise a little, and it wasn't as cold as it had been before. Number One very decisively helped her choose the third option. Without waiting for Ling Lan to ask about the situation, she was kicked out of the physical skills learning space.
Ling Lan only remembered Number One's final cold gaze on her, full of threat, clearly warning her that this mission must be completed.
Back in the mindspace, Ling Lan didn't even have time to say goodbye to Little Four, who was waiting there, before she flew back with a whoosh to work hard on her cultivation.
Although Ling Lan didn't know what Number One's final threatening gaze was trying to tell her, she knew in her bones that if she couldn't complete the Body Refining Nine Stances, she would definitely die a horrible death...
And then, Ling Lan trained like an old bull in this one month, practicing every day until she had the strength to breathe before she dared to stop. Under this extreme self-torture method, Ling Lan successfully mastered the ninth stance.
As soon as Ling Lan entered the physical skills learning space and saw that there were still a few dozen seconds left on the deadline, she instantly broke out in cold sweat. Actually, at the last moment, she didn't even know if she would be able to complete it on time. She could only subconsciously circulate her inner energy, directing herself to practice the Body Refining Nine Stances over and over again.
Perhaps it was because she had nothing left to lose, but when Ling Lan's consciousness was a little blurry at the end of the practice, she only felt that something in her mind had suddenly shattered. Her body involuntarily assumed the pose of the Body Refining Nine Stances, making her body firmly remember the Body Refining Nine Stances that she had painstakingly practiced for over five years.
Just like that, Ling Lan resolved the sharp sword that had been hanging over her head, and finally returned to being debt-free.
