Chapter 467: Be Cruel
There are some people you just can't get over without pushing them.
Stupid people don't need it, because you don't need to force them, they have already experienced everything they need to experience in the world, so there is naturally no need to "teach" them.
The ones who really need to be taught are the smart people.
Because when these people encounter difficulties, they can always come up with various solutions. They never put themselves in a disadvantageous position and do things according to their own preferences, because they always have a way to make things develop according to their wishes.
But it is precisely such smart people who are prone to become discouraged or even give up easily when they really encounter unsolvable difficulties and real desperate situations.
Old Man Tianjian has seen too many things like this. When faced with real difficulties, stupid people are more reliable than smart people.
Of course, forcing someone won't work, at least not until your fist is big enough.
Because doing so would easily lead to getting beaten.
For Shi Hao, the current fist of the Heavenly Sword is big enough.
Not very big, but adequate.
Eight hundred years of accumulation of sword skills allowed Old Man Tianjian to use various sword moves to balance the gap between himself and Shi Hao in physique. And sufficient combat experience could ensure the intensity of the battle between the two while preventing Shi Hao from getting hurt.
It was precisely because of this understanding that Chen Zhixing felt at ease to hand Shi Hao over to Tianjian.
As it turned out, Chen Zhixing was right.
Inside the Yuehu Blessed Land, Chen Zhixing saw Shi Hao walking into the Yuehu Blessed Land with scars all over his body. He did not show any surprise expression on his face. According to his understanding of his disciple, it was natural for them to fight after being taught a lesson by the old man with the Divine Sword.
So Chen Zhixing just greeted him softly.
"I'm back."
"master.'
Shi Hao, whose body was sliced like fish sashimi, did not cry out in pain or complain, but he looked very lonely.
He was defeated by the old man with the magic sword.
And he accepted defeat with all his heart.
It's just because the two of them are at a similar realm, although old man Tianjian's realm is slightly higher than his, Shi Hao's physical strength is much stronger than old man Tianjian. To be honest, perhaps in terms of his own conditions, Shi Hao is even stronger than old man Tianjian.
But the fact is, after a fierce battle between the two and a hundred moves, Shi Hao had eighty-seven sword marks on his body, and from beginning to end, he only hit old man Tianjian with one punch.
In terms of combat skills, the gap between Shi Hao and Old Man Tianjian is almost like the gap between heaven and earth.
"Master, is there any way to learn combat skills? I feel like I'm too bad at it now."
"Yes, I have."
"Master, teach me!"
"There's no need to teach this. As long as you fight more and get beaten more, others will fight one fight a day, and you can fight ten or a hundred fights a day. Naturally, you will accumulate experience much faster than others."
The corners of Chen Zhixing's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was quite happy to see Shi Hao getting beaten.
Well, he was just gloating.
You know, this guy is the future invincible one, who has defeated everyone in the world and no one dares to claim the mastership, and he is an invincible existence who sweeps across the star realm. But now he has been injured like this by a little old man.
Who would believe it if I told them?
In the near future, when he learns of Shi Hao's achievements, Elder Tianjian will probably brag about teaching Shi Hao a lesson as the most glorious thing in his life! This is the invincible Shi Hao, and I actually injured him and even beat him to the point where he was inhuman!
The win was easy, and he could even win with one hand.
What invincible person? When he was young, he was just like an ordinary person and fell into the hands of an old man! Of course, Chen Zhixing only thought about this kind of thing, at most he was entertaining himself in his heart.
He knew that as Shi Hao's cultivation continued to increase, such entertainment programs would become less and less, and even one day in the future, when Shi Hao's cultivation caught up with him, at that time, perhaps he, as a master, would not be willing to fight with Shi Hao.
Afraid of losing!
He still lost to his own disciple. Chen Zhixing can't afford to lose this man!
"Don't look so sad. I'm not dead yet. There's no need for you to shed tears here."
"Master, I didn't cry."
"You look like your mother has died. You might as well cry!"
“.”
"That's enough. You just got beaten up. These are just superficial injuries. Take a few more beatings and then learn the enemy's tactics. When you are stronger than him, you can retaliate."
“.”
"Why don't you say anything? Do you think what your master said is wrong?"
"No." Shi Hao pursed his lips stubbornly, then raised his head and looked at Chen Zhixing: "Master, is it true that all strong people start by getting beaten?"
"That's about right." Chen Zhixing smiled.
"What about you? When you first started practicing, were you also taught a lesson by these seniors?"
"No, I usually don't do stupid things like this. I only fight with those I can beat, so I'm always the one teaching others a lesson."
"What if you meet someone you can't defeat?"
"If you can't beat me, call the parents. I, your master, was born into an aristocratic family. When I was young, my family had an ancestor who was at the pinnacle of the supreme realm. As long as it's not a True Lord of the Immortal Realm who comes to bully us, no one can beat my ancestor."
Shi Hao: “.”
So, Master, you love to teach me, but you never put it into practice yourself, right?
Shi Hao just had this idea in mind when Chen Zhixing, as if he could read his mind, slapped him on the head with a smile, making Shi Hao grimace.
"Master, it hurts!"
"It hurts, that's right."
"But Master, Senior Tian Jian told me before that it is wrong for you to do this. Even if you are smart, you can't be like you and not face any challenges. Because no matter how smart you are, there will always be a day when you will be forced into a desperate situation."
"Ah, he's right, that's the truth."
"Then you."
"Yes, your master has been forced into a desperate situation. You see, because I was forced into a desperate situation, our Ziwei Mountain was sent into the void by me. Then, you and I, the master and disciple, were forced to hide in a small place like Ganzhou. These are all the bloody lessons that I have experienced."
"Master, what you said is not sincere at all! Shi Hao only dared to think about this kind of words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Well, he was afraid of being beaten.
However, Chen Zhixing seemed to have seen through Shi Hao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I know you are not convinced, but, this is the truth. Because your master is smart enough and only likes to take advantage and not suffer losses, I have conflicts with some people. I can be said to have been forced into a desperate situation.
However, to me, your master, these things are really nothing.
Because after being forced into a desperate situation, I still have many choices. Well, these choices can be roughly divided into two categories. "
"Which two?"
"Either you let yourself suffer, or let others suffer. Well, I, your master, don't like to suffer, so I let the entire Zhongzhou suffer for me. So, now I have been given the title of Demon Lord."
When Chen Zhixing said this, his expression was relaxed, and he didn't seem to care about the obviously malicious title of Demon Lord.
Then, he looked into Shi Hao's eyes and said with a smile: "Look, your master is a smart man. In order to avoid suffering, I can only be cruel and let others suffer instead of me. What about you, little Shitou? If you have the same ruthless heart as your master, then your master can also act as your backer. Call Tianjian over now. It's up to you to beat him to death or cripple him."
Shi Hao: “.”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Beat old man Tianjian to a pulp?
Such a thought had never occurred to Shi Hao.
Even when he was most angry, Shi Hao just wanted to teach Tian Jian a lesson and make him admit his mistakes, but he never thought about really hurting this senior who was so kind to him.
Shi Hao just has good intentions, he is not stupid, he can tell who are his own people.
"Oh, you can't accept it? If you can't accept it, then don't complain about the hardships. Since you can't follow my path, you can only take more beatings and suffer more. Get used to swallowing these hardships. Only in this way can you face the hardships in the future and have a big heart to deal with everything."
"Oh, Master, I understand."
"It's good that you know it. Now that you know it, you will continue to be scolded and beaten tomorrow."
"Oh." Shi Hao felt wronged and wanted to cry: "But, Master, can't you ask Tianjian to stop forcing me to kill people?"
"Sure." Chen Zhixing still smiled: "Didn't I tell you that as long as you get beaten, it's fine. Think about it, as long as you pester Tianjian to fight with you every day, he will naturally have no time to massacre the monks of those small sects. In this way, won't you indirectly save these people?"
“.”
"Master just told you that either you suffer or someone else suffers. Since you don't want others to suffer for you, then you can only take the beating yourself."
Shi Hao: “!!!”
When will this beating end for him?
Shi Hao was very aware of his own situation.
His fighting skills were so inferior that he couldn’t beat Tian Jian.
Since Chen Zhixing said he would not interfere, Shi Hao could only continue to take the beating.
Fortunately, Tianjian would not kill him. At most, he would just tear his skin apart. When he returned to Yuehu blessed land every day, there would not be a single piece of good flesh on his body.
Three days later, Shi Hao felt that in a month at most, he would be able to fight Tian Jian evenly, and at least he would not suffer so many blows.
A month later, Shi Hao felt that in another half a year, when his cultivation level broke through to the second level of Nirvana, he would be able to fight Old Man Tianjian to a draw, or at least he would not lose too badly.
Half a year later, Shi Hao, who had successfully broken through, happily found Old Man Tianjian, thinking of taking revenge. However, when he saw that Old Man Tianjian's realm had soared to the fifth realm of Nirvana, Shi Hao was completely dumbfounded!
“You you you you.”
"Why, is there something strange about this old man?"
Old Man Tianjian suppressed his smile and opened his arms to show Shi Hao.
"Your realm! That's not right! How did you break through! And you broke the mirror three times in a row! You've reached the fifth level of Nirvana so quickly!" Shi Hao felt as if the world in front of him was about to collapse after saying this. Didn't old man Tianjian say that you have poor talent and it took you hundreds of years to improve from the first level of Nirvana to the peak of the second level? How come I only spent a week in seclusion to break through, and you suddenly broke through from the second level of Nirvana to the fifth level!
Is this cheating!!! "Is that so? Hahahaha, I just realized that at this time, breaking through the realm is so easy!"
Old Man Tianjian, who had been excited by the joy of gains and losses for three days, laughed wildly once again, and did not hide how excited he was at this moment.
Why did Tianjian break through so quickly?
Of course, it was Chen Zhixing who discovered Shi Hao's progress in cultivation, and then deliberately increased the difficulty for his apprentice.
It’s just a small breakthrough in the Nirvana realm. What’s so difficult about it? There is so much room for maneuver.
After taking a few pills, Chen Zhixing helped protect Old Man Tianjian's heart meridian. As the power of the medicine dissipated, Old Man Tianjian's cultivation level naturally improved.
However, this improvement is very superficial, and it is just what appears on paper, that is, the body becomes a little stronger, and the magic power increases a little. It is actually very disadvantageous for those who want to break through to the peak in the future.
However, as long as he does not care about future development, let alone raising it from the second level of Nirvana to the fifth level of Nirvana, for Chen Zhixing now, even raising Old Man Tianjian to the level of Nirvana Great Perfection and half-step to the peak level in one breath is just a matter of spending more thought and resources.
The reason why he didn't do so was to leave some hope for Tianjian to break through to the peak.
I hope Tianjian can rely on his Nirvana state to complete the transformation and master his own thinking acceleration ability after the transformation. Only the cultivator who has transformed in this way can become a strong man in the peak state.
Of course, this was also to prevent the combat power between him and Shi Hao from becoming completely unbalanced.
Chen Zhixing felt that if he directly raised Old Man Tianjian's cultivation to the pinnacle, then his stupid disciple would probably do something beyond his expectations out of desperation.
Therefore, it is still necessary to let Old Man Tianjian suppress the attack, but at the same time maintain a level that can give Shi Hao some hope of a comeback.
It can be said that Chen Zhixing took great pains to allow Shi Hao to be beaten more without losing his mentality.
It turns out that this is useful.
After being beaten so many times and discovering that the Heavenly Sword had broken through, Shi Hao collapsed for just a moment before he gathered his spirits again and continued to challenge this senior!
After the battle, Shi Hao soon discovered that the old man Tianjian's combat power was not as much as he had imagined before! No! It should be said that it was not much, but even pitifully little! If the previous Tianjian of the second level of Nirvana had a combat power of about 100, then the current Tianjian of the fifth level of Nirvana had a combat power of only about 120 at most.
After half a year, his score increased from 60 to 85.
The gap is still huge, but it is actually shrinking! Shi Hao, who discovered this, can be said to be getting braver and braver!
This time, he could be very sure that even if his master continued to help old man Tianjian cheat, he had the confidence to catch up with Tianjian within three years, or even surpass Tianjian and beat the old man to the ground!
Because Tianjian is relying on his old capital, the improvement in his cultivation level is really just an improvement in his cultivation level.
And he himself, in this process, is really getting stronger and stronger! (End of this chapter)
