Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 341 summarizes the central idea

The battle on the field is divided into strong and weak.

Although Teng Zheng was like the hero of a novel before the war, both his parents died and he met his lifelong rival...but the bonus in the story was ineffective in reality.

The strength gap between him and Zhou Rui is about 10%. In other words, in the turn-based Taixu picture scroll, Zhou Rui can defeat him with only nine rounds of attacks.

And such a gap can no longer be made up by high morale or temporary super-level performance. Unless Zhou Rui's own morale was shaken before the battle, he developed unnecessary sympathy and sympathy for his opponent, and his strength was further compromised.

However, Zhou Rui chose to go all out and showed no mercy at all. His sword energy was even more powerful than normal. Only a few minutes after the battle, he suppressed Teng Zheng in all directions. It was only a few minutes before the winner was announced. time.

Outside the court, Li Xiong let out a heartfelt sigh.

"The difference is clear at a glance."

Huang Long also shook his head: "He is a good child, what a pity."

The old general's emotion was obviously not directed at Zhou Rui.

After witnessing Teng Zheng's swordsmanship with his own eyes, Huang Long was convinced that this burly young man was indeed not bad in nature, so he could only feel doubly sad about his failure.

Unfortunately, good people do not always do good deeds, and hard work and determination do not always pay off. The gap in strength is often determined from the moment of birth, which makes the efforts and determination of the day after tomorrow seem like a joke.

when!

With the crisp sound of metal clashing, the situation on the field finally came to light. Zhou Rui used his deft stabbing to hit the hilt of Teng Zheng's sword when he was exhausted, causing the heavy sword to fly out. Then Zhou Rui's sword edge touched Teng Zheng's chest.

The son of the towering owner of the Binglou was panting heavily, his eyes were red, but he slowly lowered his head.

"I lost."

There was a sparse round of applause outside the stadium - although there were many Secret Guard soldiers who came to watch, it was obvious that not many were willing to accept their family's defeat.

As the commander of the secret guard battalion here, Li Xiong was the one who applauded most enthusiastically.

"Teng Zheng, you have done a great job! Next Pihong, please be more careful!"

After briefly encouraging his men, Li Xiong sat back in his seat and began his story.

"General Huang, have you ever experienced this helpless power gap?"

Huang Long smiled: "How is it possible? From the moment I set foot on the path of spiritual practice, I have never been the most brilliant one among the people around me. No matter when, there will always be stronger and more talented people around me, reminding the old lady There are people outside... But, General Li, when you bring up this topic, you don’t actually want to hear my story. If you have any stories, you might as well tell them directly." "Ha, this is a bad habit I have developed from telling stories since I was a child: let Only when others speak first can they cheer up and pay more attention to the story I am about to tell. What I want to say is that the first time I experienced the gap that truly makes people helpless and leads to despair was on the battlefield."

After a pause, Li Xiong ignored the fierce collision of sword energy again on the battlefield and was completely immersed in his memories.

"It was March of the 1160th year of the Immortal Calendar. I followed a vanguard to pursue a group of wild demons that had invaded border towns. The initial pursuit went very smoothly. The wild demons that were raging in the civilian areas were captured by us in After being stopped at the boundary of the barrier, after a fierce battle, they almost collapsed, with only a few surviving by chance. Logically speaking, our mission only ends here, to make the other party lose the ability to do it again... However, thinking of the heavy burdens in their hands Blood debt, all of us want to eliminate all evil. Now that I think about it, the young soldiers who have just walked out of the military academy led by the young captain are probably more motivated to make achievements and are not willing to let their skills decay in the endless guarding. "

When Huang Long heard this, he couldn't help but snorted: "They are all the same idiots."

Li Xiong smiled: "Yes, it seems that General Huang also has a deep understanding of the mistakes that young soldiers often make... In short, during that operation, under the leadership of the captain, we walked out of the barrier and went deep into the wilderness. Soon we We chased and killed several wild demons one after another, and the remaining one was also bitten on the trail. In short, the victory of the operation was imminent. However, at this moment, a poisonous sandstorm directly blew away our team, and all my teammates and I were separated. ...and unfortunately, he got separated from the remaining wild demon."

Li Xiong sighed and said: "When fighting side by side with teammates, with formations and armor, those wild demons seemed to me to be vulnerable. However, when I was alone and faced them head-on, I realized I realized that even the desolate demon who was being hunted and fleeing in embarrassment actually had a Nascent Soul-level cultivation. And without the protection of powerful external forces, I was just a golden elixir. Even if I included the armor on my body and the sharp sword in my hand, the battle was still going on. After just a few rounds, we were in a desperate situation..."

when!

A huge metal collision interrupted Li Xiong's memories. In the martial arts arena, Zhou Rui defeated a strong enemy again, causing Pi Hong to break the sword in his hand into two parts, and ended up with a bitter end.

However, Zhou Rui himself was out of breath and was obviously at the end of his strength. But by single-handedly defeating two elite members of the Secret Guard Battalion in a row, his performance was impressive enough, and he even won the applause and attention of some of the Secret Guard Battalion generals.

Although it was impossible to recruit Zhou Rui into the secret guard camp, some ceremonial cheers were harmless.

Li Xiong was interrupted from his story and couldn't help but shook his head: "It's so fast. I thought those two boys could at least persist until I finished telling the story."

Huang Long said: "Concentrate on telling your story."

"Oh, that's right. Distraction is my problem. I shouldn't blame others. General Huang, who killed thousands of wild demons on the Molin front line, must have experienced memory... pollution many times, right? When there is a fierce battle with spiritual thoughts, you may see fragments of the opponent's memory."

Huang Long nodded: "Did you also encounter it at that time?"

"Yes, although I quickly fell into a disadvantage at that time, maybe because the other party was also injured, so I saw a lot of its memories. That wilderness demon... is an indigenous creature born in the wasteland and growing up in the wasteland. Although it has human form and spiritual intelligence, it is not completely human. Its cultivation relies mostly on instinct, and very little comes from inheritance. It does not have many innate magical powers, and its Yuan Ying level cultivation depends entirely on itself. A drop of accumulation. And its talents and qualifications are not very good, and it took more than two hundred years to reach the stage of Nascent Soul."

After sighing, Li Xiong said: "It took me more than two hundred years to reach Yuanying, but such a wild demon forced me into a desperate situation at that time... Of course, strictly speaking, I died because my team underestimated the enemy and rushed in. An unlucky poisonous sandstorm struck. The cultivators of the Immortal Alliance left the barrier to fight against the desolation. They could not fight alone with bare hands... But when I was about to die, I had only one thought in my mind. If you could give me two hundred years, , if I can be given a chance to advance to Nascent Soul, I will never lose to a mere bastard-like wild demon."

"So..." Wang Luo concluded after hearing this, "You just think the law is in the way?"
