It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

Lin Li and his two companions have been living in Shanhai City for two months.

During this period, Lin Li has been training his magic power compression every day, and has achieved good results.

Although without the law of space it would be impossible to perform that sea-splitting sword skill.

But Xiao Wu's skill of compressing magic power is still quite useful. That whole set of skills can exert super power no matter what law it is matched with.

In addition to daily practice, Dongfang Jing also went to Lilith to continue learning. It was said that the Wind Wing magic had already been figured out and should be improved soon.

And now she has begun to merge souls.

As for Xiao Wu, since she came back from the beach last time, Lin Li assigned her a new sword-swinging exercise.

Now she practiced normally in the morning like Dongfang Jing, gathering new energy and integrating her own soul. In the afternoon, she swung her sword at two pillars in the yard.

Lin Li naturally didn't want her to cut the two pillars with one sword. Moreover, the two pillars were not placed side by side horizontally, but vertically facing Xiao Wu.

Lin Li asked Xiao Wu to stand in a straight line with two pillars, 2 meters apart from each other, and required Xiao Wu to cut the second pillar directly without cutting the first pillar.

When Lin Li made this request, not to mention Xiao Wu, even Dongfang Jing looked at him with confusion and asked, "Is there something wrong with your Nascent Soul or your brain? Did I really break you that day?"

"What's wrong? Can you think seriously? I'm fine. Nothing's wrong."

"You don't need to ask why. Just let Xiao Wu do what I say."

Xiao Wu looked at the pillar in front of her and had no idea how to swing the sword in her hand.

From where she was standing, she could only see the pillar in front of her which was taller and thicker than her. As for the one behind her, she couldn't even see it, let alone cut it across the front.

"How is this possible? It's simply impossible to accomplish."

At the beginning, Xiao Wu just stood there holding the sword for several days, in a daze, not knowing what to do. She couldn't swing the sword at all. She stood there for an entire afternoon.

Finally, Lin Li couldn't bear it any longer, so he said to her, "Just watching won't do. Just stand here, close your eyes, and imagine swinging your sword at the pillar behind you."

"Oh, use the wooden sword, and control the fighting spirit, compressed magic power, and the strength of the law to the minimum. Just like when you sign."

"Remember, don't damage the pillar in front of me."

Dongfang Jing quietly asked Lin Li why this was the case?

"Do you remember how Xiao Wu practiced swordplay at the beach?"

"What does this have to do with sword practice at the beach?"

"Could you have imagined that she would be able to perform such sword skills in the end?"

Seeing Dongfang Jing shook her head, Lin Li continued, "The spatial law that Xiao Wu comprehended was designed to allow her to split the sea with one sword. As for what this law is specifically, she herself can't explain it clearly."

"When she swung her sword, she only had the goal of parting the sea. She didn't think of anything else."

"Then it will be the same this time. I will set the target for her, and she just needs to think about cutting off the pillar behind her from a distance."

“If you can succeed once, you can probably succeed twice.”

"So now Xiao Wu doesn't need to understand anything. She just needs to think about cutting off the second pillar from a distance."

"Just thinking about it while swinging the sword, maybe it will be the same as the first time. Suddenly I realized the law of space."

"Is this really possible? Can the law be understood in this way?"

"Of course we can't, but Xiao Wu might be able to do it."

"Let's try it for a year or so. If it doesn't work by then, forget it."

Xiao Wu practiced like this for two months. The front pillar had been replaced many times. Of course, the back pillar had also been replaced. However, it was not because of the effect of the practice. Instead, Xiao Wu sometimes cut down both pillars with one sword.

In the past two months, Xiao Wu has always told Lin Li that she wants to give up, saying that she has no way to complete such a sword skill. She can't attack from a distance at all.

"Don't give up. As long as you don't give up, you can do whatever you want tonight."

"Don't give up. As long as you don't give up, I will reward you well tonight."

"Don't give up. As long as you don't give up, I will help you get revenge last time tonight. This time I will control your sister and will definitely not let her run away."

In short, under Lin Li's various persuasions, Xiao Wu is still working hard.

Today, Lin Li was practicing magic compression while supervising Xiao Wu's sword practice.

Before they had practiced for long, Xiao Wu came running over dejectedly and said to him, "Husband, I really can't practice it. I don't know what to do."

These days, Lin Li feels that Xiao Wu’s motivation for practicing swordsmanship is different from before.

It seemed like I was just trying to please him simply because of what was going on in the evening.

Just like now. He came and said he wanted to give up.

This won’t work. If we continue like this, we will never achieve anything in our lifetime. We need to change our strategy.

Since the reward mechanism doesn’t work, the only option is to add a punishment mechanism.

Lin Li said to Xiao Wu, "You can't keep saying you want to give up."

"But I really can't."

"No, you can't give up. If you give up, I will punish you by not being able to be with me for a year."

"Not only that, from today on, you will sleep alone at night, and you can only be with us once every 10 days."

"Ah, how can this be?"

"Unless you make progress, in which case I'll give you an extra reward. You can play however you want."

"If you make progress every day, you will get a reward every day."

This reward did not convince Xiao Wu at all, because she did not think she could do it.

"But I really can't do it." Xiao Wu said aggrievedly.

"No, you have to believe in yourself. You can do it."

"Think about it before you practice swordsmanship. If you don't make any progress, you'll have to wait ten days. But if you do make progress, you'll get a reward."

"Do you understand? If you do, go practice swordplay."

Lin Li looked at Xiao Wu standing there listlessly, unable to even swing a sword, and wondered if just ten days was a bit too easy.

"That's a good idea. I can finally have a good rest for a while. You've been screwing me over these past few days." Dongfang Jing walked out of the house, looked at the dejected Xiao Wu, and said, "But, will Xiao Wu be depressed after ten days?"

"How is that possible? Wasn't she fine when I was in seclusion for more than a year?"

"Well, it's not that you don't understand. There's nothing we can do about it. The situation is different this time. You're fine now."
