Chapter 283
Late at night, Bai Xiao stood silent in the basement, silent for a long time.
His consciousness was still immersed in the fierce fighting that had only been less than two hours.
When the battle was fashionable and didn't notice it, but afterwards, Bai Xiao realized that the fierce fight just now had really exposed a very serious problem.
This kind of continuous defeat is a very rare experience for Bai Xiao. He rarely loses to the same person in a row.
Because every failure only makes Bai Xiao stronger.
Bai Xiao will never make the same mistake again, and even the same tactic will not work twice for Bai Xiao. His learning ability is rooted in his bones. As long as he experiences one failure, he can instinctively respond correctly without even thinking. And his body, which has been tempered for a long time, has a certain degree of mutant ability. If he is burned, he will be more tolerant of high temperatures. If he is frostbitten, he will be better at resisting the cold... The so-called tempered for Bai Xiao is a real improvement. Every time he tempered, his weakness will be reduced by one.
In theory, a person without weaknesses is invincible in the world.
Of course, Bai Xiao is still far from being invincible in the world. There is one opponent in the Snow Mountain Tribe who cannot be defeated no matter what. No matter how many times Bai Xiao challenged, Bai Wuya is as insurmountable as a towering holy mountain... But this huge gap in strength is obvious at a glance. Bai Xiao never expected to reach the peak of his life through hundreds of defeats. It would be better if he didn't reach the peak of masochism.
But his experience of fighting with Zheng Liming is different.
He was obviously not as good as Bai Wuya. At least in the basement practice, the ancient power he showed was far less thrilling and stressful than Bai Wuya. No matter how comprehensive thinking and judgment were made, Zheng Liming was definitely not an invincible powerful enemy.
But Bai Xiao just couldn't win, and after countless failures, Bai Xiao did not get the kind of growth he wanted.
In fact, everything went smoothly, whether it was elements, martial arts, magical arts, or unformed vows. Bai Xiao would instinctively respond to any skill once, so that he would not get hit again. Even the magical art that allowed the ancient martial arts civilization to withdraw from the stage of history, Bai Xiao also vaguely grasped the seemingly unsolvable vein acceleration and deceleration, but as long as the speed change is still within a certain range, it can be compensated by some techniques such as prediction. Moreover, Bai Xiao himself could also try to release the magical powers of himself twice.
The reason for losing streaks is that Zheng Liming's tactics are extremely changeable. In less than two hours, he used at least nearly a hundred different ways to knock Bai Xiao down, each one was completely different from before!
This made Bai Xiao feel absurd as if every time he made up for a shortcoming, he would expose a new shortcoming. After making up for it, everything would only return to the starting point.
After carefully recalling the fierce battle process that took less than two hours, Bai Xiao's last defeat was almost completely different from the first time, and even the time to persist was not extended for a few seconds.
This is really incredible.
What Bai Xiao is more wise is that he is very clear that once something incredible is encountered, it means that he can no longer analyze it based on the old ideas.
So Bai Xiao remembered the words Zheng Liming had before leaving.
"You have lost continuously, not because I am so strong, but because you are not strong enough. Once you lose the ability to resist demons and face the magical powers of demons, you are actually very fragile."
This sentence was really fulfilled perfectly. Once Bai Xiao calmed down and savored this sentence carefully, he got more content from it.
"Maybe... I've always had a very arrogant mentality."
Since birth, Bai Xiao has been ahead of the road of growth because of his unique qualifications. He has almost no rivals among his peers. Even the once glorious predecessors have faded after Bai Xiao gradually entered his youth.
Bai Xiao has never reached the state of invincibility in the world, but he has never doubted that he can one day surpass all living beings.
If you can't beat your opponent today, you may be able to win tomorrow. If you can beat your opponent today, you will only win more easily tomorrow.
Bai Xiao will not be cowardly when facing any strong enemy. Because in his eyes, there are only two types of enemies, and those who can beat them will be beaten in the future.
This mentality allows Bai Xiao to maintain the confidence and even arrogance of the strong even under absolute disadvantage.
"Perhaps, this arrogance is the root of the problem."
Bai Xiao sighed softly, shook his head, trying to shake off the stinging sensation on his head.
To engrave this conclusion that goes against nature in your mind, it is like a nail in your mind, full of pain and discomfort.
Generally speaking, everyone has their own field that cannot be violated, and confidence in this field is the main cornerstone of a person's personality.
Bai Xiao has no intention of winning or losing in many aspects. For example, he would not mind that he is not as good-looking as Lu Xun, he would not mind that he does not have the fat stored by Zheng Liming, and he would not even mind that he was hung up by Qingyue in a chess and card event.
But he minds his practical talent.
Bai Xiao is a hunter and a warrior. Fighting is the most important core function in his life. If he shows weakness on the issue of combat, it seems to be a betrayal of his own life.
But Bai Xiao is also very clear that only by knowing how to show weakness is a qualified warrior.
Some people are destined to be difficult to reach in their lifetime, some martial arts are destined to be difficult to master with one sound, and some enemies are destined to be difficult to defeat with one sound.
If you cannot learn to admit your incompetence, you will die sooner or later on your pride.
Bai Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed his instinctive arrogance again, and said softly: "I am not that powerful, I am just a weak warrior, that's all."
After a while, Bai Xiao exhaled a breath of turbid air and felt that his mentality finally calmed down.
After calming down and recalling the previous battle again, Bai Xiao made a new discovery.
If the battle just now is understood as a competition with Qingyue’s chess skills, many difficulties will be solved easily.
He and Qingyue played thousands of games without a single victory, and he would not become a complete success because of many failures and would have a chance of winning from now on.
This is very similar to the battle just now!
So, what should we do when we cannot sum up the experience and lessons learned by failure and turn defeat into victory?
"give up?"
Bai Xiao frowned and couldn't help but give an answer that surprised him.
But when this answer was said, it seemed that it was suddenly enlightened.
If you don't aim for victory, then...
"So that's it, I understand!"
Bai Xiao said, feeling the excitement in his heart surged. This feeling seemed to be like taking the spear from his father for the first time at a young age, and was eager to try the upcoming hunt.
In the meditation just now, Bai Xiao had found his own spear, so next, it naturally...
He ignored the late night and even more so despite the fierce battle, his body was already scarred, and quickly left the Old Rain Tower and rushed towards Zheng Liming's greasy hut.
At the night of Hongshan College, many students who had just finished their self-study and were exhausted were surprised and even frightened to find that there seemed to be ghosts in the college!
In a blink of an eye, a dark figure passed by in front of me, fleeting, making people feel like it was just a flash in front of me, but after a moment, a strange smell of blood lingered at the nose.
For a moment, screams in the college came one after another.
Bai Xiao unconsciously added the color to the nightlife of Hongshan Academy. He arrived in front of Zheng Liming's hut in just a moment.
Then I heard a tired, powerless, but full of shame and anger from inside.
"What do you two... want to do!?"
Then there was a maid's voice: "I'm a nurse for you. Seeing that you are so seriously injured, you can't take care of yourself, so we can only take care of you for help."
"You don't have to let it go, get out of here!"
"That's not possible. You are the young master's teacher. Although you are in the stage of being in trouble, I can't leave it alone. Otherwise, if you are squeezed out by Bai Xiao, how can you be a teacher for the young master in the future?"
Bai Xiao stood in front of the door, thought for a long time, and turned around and went back to the old rain building to sleep.
