Chapter twenty-one, enlightenment

In the courtyard.

Familiar people, familiar swords.

Xue Yiren looked at the familiar disciple and said, "How?"

Du Ao said: "The disciple already knows the master's intention."

Xue Yiren looked at him and didn't speak.

Du Ao said: "The ancients said that the courage to fight is to fight. If one fights, then it will decline again. Three times it will be exhausted! Masters fight like two armies. You must not lose your courage, otherwise you must be defeated and die. The first truth that the master lets his disciples understand is that when facing a strong enemy, you must not lose confidence and remain absolutely calm. If you are greedy for life and fear of death, you will die, and you may be able to survive in death."

Xue Yiren nodded slightly and said, "Any more?"

Du Ao said: "In the past six months, Master Meng has given him 49 times. Although his disciples were defeated in all forty-nine battles, they understand that martial arts is one thing and murder is another thing. People with high martial arts skills may not be excellent in killing people, and those with excellent murders may not be excellent in killing people. After the master's hard work and teachings during this period, the disciples have already understood the aspects of killing people, and this is the second one."

Du Ao said the truth. Xue Yiren's research on the meridians and acupoints of the human body and key points has almost reached its peak. Just like a cook Ding cut a cow, you can clearly know when to take action without using your eyes and where the target is the most deadly.

Xue Yi's people attacked Du Ao, and there were killing moves everywhere, the most deadly killing moves. Du Ao was seriously injured, but he learned quickly from it.

It is better to teach by words than by example. Xue Yiren taught Du Ao a lesson and learned from his own death.

Du Ao did not disappoint Xue Yiren in this regard.

Du Ao continued: "Martial arts are one thing, murder is one thing, and saving lives is also one thing. The disciples have understood how to save their lives when fighting against masters, so as to fight back at a disadvantage or even death, and thus turn defeat into victory. This is the third one."

Xue Yiren said coldly: "Do you really understand?"

"Although my disciple is dull, I know it."

Then Du Ao talked about how he could save his life.

Everyone knows how to save lives, but what Du Ao said about life-saving skills is very different from the ordinary life-saving skills.

When the opponent's killer move comes, try to minimize the injuries you suffer when you are unavoidable! This sentence sounds easy, but it is difficult to do. This not only requires the brain to rotate quickly, but also requires the body to form an instinctive reaction. Only in this way can you survive and even kill in the situation of killing one after another.

To give a very simple example, if Xue Yiren stabs the heart with a sword, it is difficult to avoid and resist. But if you want to not die, you must make rapid responses in the moment you stabbed into your body, so that the sword only drew a long bloody hole on your body without pricking it deep. Only in this way can you save your life.

However, if you want to do this, you must endure the interference of pain on yourself when you are injured, and your body and brain will respond and judge quickly as soon as possible, so as to minimize the degree of injury and fight back.

It is very difficult to achieve this. But if it can be achieved, his martial arts will be greatly improved, and anyone who wants to kill him will be even more difficult.

When Xue Yiren heard Du Ao's opinion, he nodded with satisfaction for the first time.

Xue Yiren said again: "Is there any?"

Du Ao said: "There is another point, in the eyes of my disciples, this point is more important than the above three points."

"What?"

Du Ao said: "How to fight for life and death, how to fully demonstrate your own abilities in life and death."

This is also the truth.

Forty-nine times, Du Ao will die at least fifteen or sixteen times in each fight. If Xue Yiren wants to kill Du Ao, Du Ao will die almost eight hundred times.

No matter who dies eight hundred times, he will make great progress in fighting life and death, and Du Ao is naturally no exception.

After forty-nine duels, Du Ao has greatly improved regardless of his experience in fighting and his level of life-and-death duel. To give a very simple and easy-to-understand metaphor: Du Ao can deal with the three Du Ao half a year ago.

It’s not that Du Ao’s combat power has increased by three times that of half a year ago, but now Du Ao knows how to use his own physical sword skills and knows how to kill people and fight enemies better than half a year ago.

This is not one plus one plus one plus one equal three.

In fact, a person's improvement is always one plus one greater than two, or even seven or eight.

Xue Yiren said, "Do you really understand?"

Du Ao bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Du Ao tried his sword for the fiftieth time, and asked the master to give him a call."

The meaning of this is nothing more clear.

——Even if your mouth is full of sensations, everything is spoken with reality. Words are not as good as teaching by example, and this is exactly the answer given by Du Ao.

Xue Yiren smiled with satisfaction. When Xue Yiren didn't smile, she was very cold and murderous intent. When she smiled, she seemed to melt ice and snow, and the spring was filled with the earth, making people feel like spring breeze.

Du Ao's expression remained unchanged, and he was surprised.

Du Ao became a disciple of Xue Yiren at the age of three. It has been almost thirteen years so far. Du Ao has never seen Xue Yiren laugh in these years. Even if he smiles, he just smiles slightly. Such an obvious and happy smile is the first time Du Ao has seen it.

Du Ao felt warmth in his heart.

He is a human, not a beast, and of course he knows gratitude and coldness. He has always known that Xue Yiren attaches great importance to him and even cares about him very much. He has always tried not to disappoint Xue Yiren.

In life, it is not easy to have someone who cares about you.

For Du Ao, Xue Yiren is not just a master. It is precisely because of Xue Yiren that Du Ao can integrate into this world. Without Xue Yiren, Du Ao may still be out of place with this world until now.

At this moment, seeing that Xue Yiren was finally satisfied with him, how could Du Ao be unhappy? He even felt that the hard work over the years was worth it.

Xue Yiren still had a faint smile on his face and said to Du Ao: "Show all the abilities you have learned. If you can't satisfy me, you will die."

A bright smile makes people die.

Du Ao smiled slightly and said nothing.

He didn't draw the sword or move, but just looked at Xue Yiren calmly, as if he was just looking at his old friend.

Xue Yiren was very happy and very solemn.

I am happy because Du Ao did not talk about it on paper, but had really understood it through these many battles.

The solemn reason is that Du Ao has understood it.

At this time, the two stood opposite each other, and Xue Yiren finally felt a little pressure from Du Ao for the first time.

An opponent who is truly worth taking action must be given pressure before taking action, otherwise it will not be considered an opponent.

At this moment, Du Ao did it.
