Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 236: Mood
The schedule of the ladder competition lasted from the beginning of summer to the beginning of winter, a full six months!
In half a year, Taixue has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not to mention anything else, the student's combat effectiveness has increased several times!
The tricks are becoming more and more abundant.
Not only the pursuit of power, but also the pursuit of performance, visibility, and cool yet fierce moves have become the research objects of many boys.
How to defeat opponents in an arena in a smart way, and even if you lose, don't lose too badly, this is worthy of special study.
Undoubtedly, Zhang Tianliu has become the best imitation object.
In Wang Qi’s words, this guy knows how to pretend! His every step, every movement and every look in his eyes showed a strong sense of master. He also knew how to talk coquettishly and teased his opponents in every detail. It made people want to kill themselves on the spot. But he was just such a person. I don’t know when. , actually attracted the favor of countless girls.
The clamor to buy Zhang Chuanren’s figures is getting louder and louder. I heard that even Zuo Renying’s biological sister and the fourth princess have become Zhang Chuanren’s ashes. If it weren’t for Wang Qiu’s persuasion, Zuo Renying would not be able to bear it. Because of the pressure from my sister, I want to recruit Zhang Chuanren to be my sister’s consort!
The last game of the ladder match came to an end with Taishi Youming's successful defense.
"I was slightly better in the last fight. We haven't seen each other for three days, and Qi Miss's swordsmanship has improved again." Although Taishi Youming won, it was very difficult to win. He almost lost to Ah Qi's sword several times.
Ah Qi closed her eyes and sighed, arched her hands without saying anything, exited the ring, and left the venue amidst cheers of comfort from the audience.
She wants to win, but she really can't win at the moment.
She had ups and downs in the top three tiers, and finally won the opportunity to challenge the first tier again. However, she lost, and she lost two games in a row. She had one win and two losses in the last two games against Taishi Yuming. Ugly.
"Don't be discouraged, there is still next year." Mu Wan hugged Qimei and comforted her.
It is easy for a Guizhen monk to live two hundred years. Later, his lifespan is doubled, and some even live five hundred years.
There has never been a student who can enter Taixue who cannot break through and return to his true nature. After all, the rich have a lot of medicine, and the poor have talent. Therefore, the semester of Taixue is very long, a full thirty years. , this was only revised because of Wang Qi's intervention. In the past, at the age of a decade, one had to leave Taixue regardless of achievements.
A period of sixty years is the majority of a lifetime for ordinary people. Although it is a long time for monks, it is also fast.
Ah Qi is now over fifty.
However, the changes in her mood are not as great as those of Mother Earth. The main reason is that the process of life is very slow and the pressure is only experienced by participating in the ladder competition. She did not know what pressure was before. Even in the Ding family, she was in a state of resignation. In this state, being beaten or punished will not cause any pressure.
But now, her thoughts are gradually moving away from resignation and naivety.
In terms of age, Ah Qi is the oldest among these Ladder Competition students. All of them are around thirty. Taishi Youming is only thirty-two years old. She is twenty years older than her opponent, but she cannot defeat him. Let her continue to doubt herself and deny herself.
When he returned to the small building and saw the young master, Ah Qi said in a low mood: "I lost again."
"It's okay." Zhang Tianliu was so comforting.
"Young Master is still making sarcastic remarks." Mu Wan complained to Ah Qi.
"It's not a sarcastic comment. The difference between Ah Qi and Taishi Youming is not in swordsmanship, but in the desire to win. Your desire to win is a need for affirmation. To put it bluntly, it means getting my affirmation, and Taishi Youming Well, to them, you are an outsider, and you are still not a part of Taixue, so he bears the heavy responsibility of the entire Taixue's victory, as well as the glory of being a Taishi family, and the pursuit of the goal of becoming the king of swordsmanship, so He didn't give up even when he was almost defeated, and still looked for opportunities to fight back until you showed your flaws. In this respect, your sword is stronger than his, but your heart has not grown."
Ah Qi and Mu Wan were confused when they heard this.
They are all orphans. They have no idea about the burden of being an imperial scholar or the sense of family honor. They do pursue swordsmanship and become kings. The second sister is one, but they are not the second sister, and they have not specifically asked the second sister why she likes swords. .
"What kind of state of mind do you need to defeat him?" Mu Wan asked curiously.
“Abandoning victory or defeat, simply to survive! At least in my opinion, we are all people without any family members. We cannot have family glory in this life. , apart from your obsession with your favorite way, the only thing left is survival! When you think that this competition determines whether you can survive, at the last moment, you have a chance to tie with him! ”
"Does Seventh Sister understand?" Mu Wan doesn't understand, so she hopes Ah Qi can understand.
Unfortunately, Ah Qi also shook her head in confusion.
How can you grasp the feeling of survival if you have never experienced life and death?
Ah Qi did experience a dangerous situation in Yanyang Mountain last time, but it was just a dangerous situation. Because Ah Er was there, Ah Qi subconsciously believed that the second sister could save her. Even if she didn't save her, it didn't matter. She was not as strong as herself. The second sister must be a burden. Even if she is dead, the second sister won't have to protect herself. It shouldn't be difficult to escape alone.
It is precisely because of this state of mind that Ah Qi was unable to win the first prize.
And this kind of thing can only be understood by oneself, others cannot teach it.
"Why did the young master win so easily? Do you want to fight in a life-and-death duel?" Mu Wan never scruples about anything and asks as soon as she thinks of it.
"How many times have I said, don't imitate me. You can't imitate my way. I can understand the opponent's heart, which is difficult for you. What's more, if it is a strong enemy that I must defeat, I will also investigate his childhood. The big living environment, knowing his preferences, personality, what kind of underwear he wears and what kind of tea he drinks, no matter how big or small, can you accurately judge his style and purpose and find his fatal weakness. This is the way to survive for the weak, of course. There is more than one way, and accepting one’s fate is also one.”
The more the two women listened, the more difficult it became.
They don't have these twists and turns in their minds. If they think they can't beat it, they just can't beat it. If they want to beat it, they have to practice hard.
But they obviously ignored that the other party was also practicing hard, and there was a team behind him. For example, Taishi Youming had the entire Sword Academy and the Taishi family behind him. Now he has also learned to help Taishi You. Ming studied his opponents, but Ah Qi had already been analyzed by them.
It’s just that they never investigated Ah Er next to Ah Qi, and it was also because of her broken arm.
"Mu Wan, you will also participate in the ladder competition next year." Zhang Tianliu ordered.
"Okay, okay." Mu Wan agreed readily, and finally asked: "What about the second sister?"
"Your second sister is different. She is here to bully others. Her cultivation level is similar, but her realm is different. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Mu Wan shook her head.
A'er, who had been silently practicing cross-legged, opened his eyes and said, "I don't understand either. Master, can you explain it clearly?"
Zhang Tianliu asked: "Which student on the court do you think you can't win against?"
A'er frowned and shook his head silently.
Mu Wan asked in confusion: "Second sister, are you unable to judge, or do you think there is no such thing?"
"No." Ah Er answered readily.
"Isn't this right?" Zhang Tianliu said depressedly: "When you feel that you can crack the opponent's moves, this is a difference in realm. Your judgment at the beginning was also correct. Ah Qi was going to defeat Leng Xi with only his sword. Ah Qi can't understand what kind of sword light can win, and you can't teach it. For you, you can adapt to circumstances and try your best. For Ah Qi, there is no fixed routine and he can only test it again and again. In the test, Accumulate experience and make breakthroughs step by step. From my perspective, you have entered Yingtian's state of mind. Isn't it bullying others if you go to fight?"
