Xiao Bing brought Fang Yuanyuan to the edge of a cliff and said to her, "This place will further enhance your courage."
Fang Yuanyuan looked at the cliff in front of her and said uneasily, "Didn't you say that I already have enough courage?"
Xiao Bing said with a serious face, "As I said, this is your advantage, but it hasn't turned into a winning force. The real talent is to turn your advantageous character to an extreme. So now, you have to face a challenge. There is a cliff in front of you. If you can cross it, you will win this battle. If you can't, you will lose this battle. But let me tell you, even I don't know how high this cliff is. Once you take this step, you may not even have a chance to survive. "
Fang Yuanyuan looked at the cliff in front of her. She walked over with trembling steps and stood on the edge of the cliff. She looked down and quickly took a few steps back. She felt a little dizzy. This was a bottomless abyss!
Fang Yuanyuan was walking backward when she suddenly bumped into Xiao Bing. Then she was scared and fell to the ground.
Xiao Bing looked at her. He was not disappointed. This was a normal behavior. No matter how impulsive or courageous Fang Yuanyuan was, she was still a human. As long as one was human, they would know what fear was. Even Xiao Bing knew what fear was, let alone her.
Fang Yuanyuan pointed to the other side and said, "Why? Why do I have to cross from here? But I can't cross it at all. "
There was a distance of more than 20 meters between this side and the other side of the cliff. There was no bridge between them. Even if she ran, it was impossible to jump from here to the other side of the cliff.
Xiao Bing said, "That's right. This is not crossing. This is jumping. This is courting death."
Fang Yuanyuan asked, "Why? Why do I have to die? "
"Put yourself in a dead end and then live." Xiao Bing's tone was very calm. He pointed to the cliff in front of them and said, "You have always wanted to be my disciple. You want to learn martial arts. Only by crossing this obstacle can you be qualified to be my disciple. If you really can't overcome it, that's fine. I'll teach you martial arts. One month later, I'll let you defeat Fang Dong! "
Fang Yuanyuan's body was trembling. But when she heard Xiao Bing's words, she struggled to stand up. Looking at her back, Xiao Bing asked, "What choice will you make?"
Fang Yuanyuan's mind kept replaying everything that had happened in her life. She remembered being laughed at by her family when she was a child. She remembered being despised by the elders when she came home every year. She remembered that she and her sister had almost become a stain on her father's reputation. She remembered that Xiao Bing had just helped her fulfill her life's wish, allowing her and her family to raise their heads in front of their elders … She trembled as she walked to the edge of the cliff. She turned around and asked, "Do I really have to jump?"
Xiao Bing looked at her and said, "I just said, not necessarily … Even if you don't dance, I will still teach you for a month."
Fang Yuanyuan nodded and said, "So we have to jump?"
Xiao Bing said, "Not necessarily."
Fang Yuanyuan suddenly raised her head and shouted, "We have to jump. If we die, then so be it!"
Xiao Bing said, "We really don't have to jump."
Fang Yuanyuan's foot just left the ground. Suddenly, she was so scared that she sat on the ground and started crying.
Xiao Bing walked over and stood behind Fang Yuanyuan. He looked down at her and said, "Uh … If you really can't do it, then don't jump."
"Let me calm down first. It's too high and scary." Fang Yuanyuan's face was as white as a sheet. If anyone else from the Fang family saw this scene, they would have been scared silly. Fang Yuanyuan was scared to tears?
Xiao Bing understood Fang Yuanyuan very well. When he was about to squat down and say something, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly stood up. Then she stomped on the ground and flew up.
"Damn, didn't I say we could stop? She still jumped. Idiot!" Xiao Bing cursed, but there was joy in his eyes.
Fang Yuanyuan was already scared before she jumped. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and her mind was filled with a lot of thoughts. Even her legs felt like jelly. The sudden jump caused her to slide five or six meters in the air, and then she found herself falling into the abyss.
"Am I going to die?" Fang Yuanyuan didn't regret. She didn't have time to regret. She just wanted to live. She screamed. As she fell, her hands tried to grab upwards. But all she could grab was air. She could only watch herself fall into the abyss.
When she fell for more than ten meters, a terrifying suction suddenly pulled her up. Then she found herself flying back to her original position. Her whole body was limp at Xiao Bing's feet.
Fang Yuanyuan was stunned. She couldn't say a word. Her heart was beating fast. Just as she recovered a little, before she could say a word, Xiao Bing suddenly kicked her away. Yes, he kicked her away.
Fang Yuanyuan screamed as her body flew more than ten meters away. Then she fell down again. Her limbs were frantically twisting in the air. Her mind was filled with a terrifying will that she had never felt before. I want to live, no matter what, I want to live, I want to live!
She released her strength to the extreme. Her whole body moved forward for about half a meter. But in the end, she fell again. After falling for more than ten meters, she felt a terrifying suction pulling her back. She fell back to Xiao Bing's feet.
Fang Yuanyuan was gasping for air. Her clothes were soaked in sweat, and it highlighted her hot body. But she didn't have the mind to care about that. Her mind was empty, and it was a blank.
Xiao Bing sat next to her. Fang Yuanyuan shivered. Xiao Bing said, "Don't worry. I won't kick you down again."
"I … Did I pass the test?"
"Yes." Xiao Bing nodded. Then he couldn't help but ask, "I just told you many times that you didn't have to jump. Why did you choose to jump in the end? Aren't you afraid of death? "
Fang Yuanyuan cried, "I was almost scared to death …"
Xiao Bing smiled. He took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Fang Yuanyuan. Then he said, "You were afraid of death, but you still made the choice. Can you tell me why?"
"Because … because I don't want to be your disciple for only a month. I … I'm straight, but I'm not stupid. I know you're testing me. If I dare to jump, you'll take me as your disciple. If I don't, you'll only let me be your disciple for a month. I think … I might only have one chance. If I don't take it, I won't have another chance. "
Xiao Bing put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. He glanced at the bottom of the cliff and said, "Jumping off a cliff is not a joke. It's a suicidal behavior. You knew that you might die, and you still jumped?"
"I … I might only have this one chance in my life. I want to take it. I live in a family of civil servants. My mother runs a business. Our family is not short of money or glory, but I want to prove myself. In order to get the approval of my hometown, in order to let my parents look up to me instead of being ridiculed by the people in my hometown, I have been working hard to prove myself all these years. My sister is a rational person. Her way of proving herself is to be herself. What I have been doing all this time is to prove to those people that women can do the same! "
Xiao Bing puffed out a smoke ring. He looked at Fang Yuanyuan and said, "So you've been practicing martial arts?"
"Yes. But my father didn't want to teach me martial arts. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do so much. He didn't want me to bear so much. He said he didn't need me to bear everything for the family. He wanted me to enjoy life like my sister. That's why he always opposed me practicing martial arts. Later, it was because I pestered a few of my father's friends to teach me martial arts. Occasionally, this person would give me some pointers, and occasionally, that person would give me some pointers. "
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "You learned little by little and reached the Transforming Strength Stage alone. That's a remarkable perseverance."
The Transforming Strength Stage sounded insignificant in the ancient martial world. But in the normal human world, it was already a martial arts master who could open a school to teach. The most important thing was that Fang Yuanyuan didn't really learn martial arts systematically. That was the scariest thing. It proved how much effort she had put into it.
Fang Yuanyuan said, "I know you are the best teacher I've ever had in my life. I've come this far for martial arts. Now, martial arts isn't just my responsibility. It's not a tool I use to prove my family is wrong. Martial arts is my dream … So I only have one chance, and I don't want to give it up so easily."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "What you just did has won me over. Now tell me, what did you feel when you almost died?"
Fang Yuanyuan hesitated. Thinking of what just happened, she couldn't help hugging her legs a little tighter. She said with lingering fear, "I felt what death is, and the helplessness when facing death …"
"Oh, anything else?" Xiao Bing was obviously not satisfied.
"I also felt … when facing death, even if there's only one in ten thousand chance, even if I have to bear the pain of being cut into pieces, I still have the determination to fight to the death."
Xiao Bing finally nodded with satisfaction. He smiled and patted Fang Yuanyuan's shoulder. He said, "That's right, my apprentice!"
This was the first time Xiao Bing called Fang Yuanyuan his apprentice. Fang Yuanyuan was so excited that she almost cried. She knelt in front of Xiao Bing and said with tears in her eyes, "Master!"
This time, Xiao Bing didn't stop her.
