Before the game, Yan Kai and Kitayama Xingyi had long predicted Busujima Saeko's defeat. Even Busujima Saeko herself agreed with this conclusion. However, after setting foot on the competition field, everything except victory was ignored. She forgot.
There are only martial arts for victory in the world, and there are no moves for defeat. If you only think that you will lose, it would be better to surrender early. Why use this almost masochistic method to improve your strength? Anyway, no matter how Busujima Saeko sharpens her weapons in battle, it will be difficult to reverse the disadvantage of one against five. She will get closer to victory, but it is absolutely impossible to truly touch it.
But even so, when Kitayama Xingyi proposed to Busujima Saeko the strategy of "the more you fight, the braver you become", Busujima Saeko agreed without hesitation. If she didn't agree, she would not be unreserved and give her full strength. To go.
After defeating the second opponent, Busujima Saeko's remaining physical strength and internal strength had been consumed by more than half. She inevitably gasped hard, but she still turned her attention to the third opponent who followed closely.
Busujima Saeko's third opponent is one of the top five candidates for the "Quixing Banner" competition at Hokuoh High School. Her strength is much higher than the first two. This delicate girl named Shiromine Hitomi follows the competition etiquette. After Busujima Saeko saluted, he quickly launched his attack without wasting a second.
She knew that Busujima Saeko was physically exhausted, and any moment of respite she was given would be transformed into combat effectiveness by Busujima Saeko. Busujima Saeko had already completed two consecutive kills, which was already the best record in the past thirty years. Now , she will never allow Busujima Saeko to move forward.
She will protect the glory of Beiwang High School!
Facing Hakuho Hitomi's fierce attack, Busujima Saeko stopped breathing the moment she drew the sword, and her body unconsciously tilted in the most effortless way. Hakuho Hitomi's sword missed, and her eyelids twitched and she immediately changed her attack, changing from a straight slash to a sweeping attack. .
Busujima Saeko raised her wooden sword in time to block, blocking Hakuho Hitomi's sweeping sweep, and thrust out a sword like lightning, interrupting Hakuho Hitomi's quick attack, forcing her to take a few steps back to reorganize her attack. .
The range of all Busujima Saeko's movements are very small, which is very different from the big opening and closing moves of the past. Even Busujima Saeko himself doesn't know why he makes such movements. Everything seems to be instinctive, but It's definitely not instinctive.
Two consecutive fierce battles pushed Busujima Saeko's fighting spirit to the highest peak in history. She has never been so eager to win, and this desire and persistence for victory just turned into a wonderful feeling. , Bai Fengtong's movements became very slow in her eyes, no, in her perception. She didn't need to respond in a big way, she only needed to make very small movements to dodge her attack and counterattack.
This mysterious and mysterious feeling made Busujima Saeko very comfortable. She instinctively wanted to grasp this feeling, but found that this feeling was fleeting. When she came to her senses, Hakumon Hitomi's rapid and violent attacks came her way again. , she didn't dare to recall the feeling just now, so she could only steel herself to fight with Bai Fengtong.
In the audience, Yan Kai looked at Busujima Saeko's slight flash and laughed.
"I have caught a trace of the 'god'. It seems that Sister Xingyi's method is still somewhat effective..."
Yan Kai murmured.
Just for a competition, Kitayama Anki actually had no need to let Busujima Saeko fight to this point. She made Busujima Saeko go on a hunger strike and refused to let her sleep. She kept her in a battle-ready state at all times and made her mentally depressed. Not being able to relax for a moment, she really pushed her mental strength to the limit while suppressing her physical abilities to a very low point.
"God" is the power of the spirit. It is usually hidden in the brain and is difficult for ordinary people to access. The occasional flash of inspiration is as rare as winning the lottery and cannot be controlled at all.
According to multi-faceted research in recent decades, more and more people have discovered that "gods" will become more active than usual when facing tremendous mental pressure.
At the same time, when the physical ability is weakened to a low point and the five senses gradually become dull, people will involuntarily rely more on mental induction to perceive things. When the two are combined, "god" will become easier to perceive than usual.
Competitions and the like are of no importance to Kitayama Xingyi. She will never cling to glory that cannot be eaten. The real reason why she proposed to Busujima Saeko the strategy of "the more you fight, the braver you become" It was Busujima Saeko who forced Busujima Saeko to this situation, giving Busujima Saeko a chance to touch the side of "God". If he succeeded, then Busujima Saeko's hunger for the past two days would not be in vain. suffer.
As for why it had to be put into the "Yade Dragon Flag" competition instead of during normal times, and Busujima Saeko was not even informed of his true intentions, there is a reason.
Whether it is increasing the activity of "god" or reducing physical ability to weaken the five senses, it can only make it easier for people to perceive "god", and it does not play a decisive role in the process of perceiving "god". What can make people perceive and connect with "God" is a firm will, and when people are striving for a certain goal, their will is often the strongest.
Now, Busujima Saeko, who only thinks about how to defeat her opponent, is more focused than ever before. Her strong desire to win has polished her will very firmly. At this moment, that mysterious and mysterious feeling arises. This is what she touches. Come to the performance of "god".
Perceiving the existence of "god" is the basis of "trance", and it is also the first step that a swordsman must take to rise from a swordsman to a great swordsman. Otherwise, no matter how deep the internal strength is, the swordsmanship will not be the same. No matter how exquisite it is, it is just spinning in circles at the level of a swordsman, and it is not progress at all.
In anything, the most difficult step is always the first and last step. Under the careful design of Kitayama Xingyi, Busujima Saeko finally overcame one of the two major difficulties, and surprisingly successfully completed the task that many martial arts predecessors in ancient times had to risk their lives. Steps that take risk to get away with.
In ancient times, when communication between people was not as convenient as it is now, the idea of "gods" has been circulated. However, due to the lack of communication, no one summarized the martial arts experience of the predecessors in a systematic and scientific way and then presented it to the public. The majority of people in the martial arts community are promoting it, and each martial art is very self-conscious. They only focus on practicing hard, and they will not tell others about the secrets they have learned. Naturally, they will not get advice from others, and they can only practice until they die. Wandering back and forth in front of the door of "God", you will never be able to reach that door in your life.
This huge bottleneck has destroyed the youth and enthusiasm of many martial arts practitioners.
Before modern times, a large number of people who practiced martial arts with profound accumulation were trapped in the realm of "proficiency". Only a few people with destiny could accidentally break through the door by chance and have since glimpsed a person. A brand new world, and thus entering a higher realm of martial arts, the realm of "superior perfection".
But because they only realized "God" by chance after experiencing life and death under various accidents, they knew it but didn't know why. They were lacking in theory and barely left some insights of their own, such as "There is great terror between life and death." On the contrary, it is easy to mislead future generations and cause endless harm, so it is better not to keep them.
Practicing martial arts is to live a better life, not to seek death through tricks!
No one is the protagonist. Many "trance" masters did perceive the existence of "gods" at the critical moment of life and death, and then their martial arts improved rapidly. However, most of them encountered accidents, but no one actively sought death.
There are many "proficient" masters in this world who have encountered life and death crises. Not one percent of them may be lucky enough to sense the existence of "god" at the last moment. The other ninety-nine percent of the people At least half of them died, and the remaining half survived, and what they gained was only the joy of escaping from death rather than great progress in martial arts.
People who break through themselves at the critical moment of life and death are just an exception after all.
In modern times, more and more martial arts practitioners have accepted the impact of the Western scientific system and began to look at problems with dialectical thinking. Moreover, after the Central Plains was oppressed by Western powers, martial arts practitioners in the Central Plains began to unite with patriotism as the core. , the barriers between various schools in the martial arts world were temporarily eliminated.
In order to get rid of the "sick man of East Asia" sign, countless martial arts enthusiasts at that time gathered together to exchange martial arts experiences, confirm martial arts concepts, and wanted to "learn martial arts to strengthen the country" and use martial arts to inspire the national spirit and inspire the people. spirit of resistance.
With this united effort, masters in the martial arts community in the Central Plains gradually discovered safer and more effective ways to perceive "gods" than before, and masters who had broken through to the "supernatural" realm ushered in a blowout.
With the understanding of various modern firearms, martial artists have gradually found ways to fight against them. When facing those firearms, they are no longer tough. With the mobility of martial artists, as long as they are not stunned, When used as targets, those modern firearms are actually very difficult to threaten accomplished martial artists. In the past, they suffered from the disadvantage of being uneducated. They always had to compete with those firearms, and it would be strange if they could win.
But it is a pity that just when the martial arts world is ushering in a great revolution, the industrial revolution promoted by the Western powers and the entire society has spawned various modern weapons at a faster and more terrifying speed. The era of foreign guns and cannons has passed, and has been replaced by The era of aircraft and tanks.
When faced with the latest weapons, even the most skilled martial artists at the time could hardly resist.
Their martial arts could not hit the "strange birds" in the sky, nor could they tear apart the "steel behemoths" on the ground. Their martial arts once again faced a blow from another dimension.
Under the impact of various new weapons, martial arts rose and fell suddenly, and the martial arts community in the Central Plains almost faced annihilation.
Before Yan Jing was born with the supreme state of "reaching the pinnacle", except Japan, because most of the upper class of the army were from the former samurai class, out of nostalgia, they protected martial arts as a cultural tradition and gave those who practiced martial arts a lot of resources. With high respect, the Japanese martial arts community has been able to flourish, while the martial arts communities in other countries have basically stagnated.
In sharp contrast to the Japanese martial arts world is the Central Plains martial arts world. The Central Plains martial arts world was almost destroyed under the attack of various forces (which parties thought for themselves, fearing that they would be harmonized). At that time, most of the people with integrity in the Central Plains martial arts world were destroyed. Those who were beaten to death and had no backbone became traitors and lackeys. The Xue family's martial arts inheritance was also cut off during that period. It took decades for it to be revived and carried forward by Xue Dingshan.
At the same time, due to the betrayal of the scum in the martial arts world, the results of the "martial arts revolution" that the martial arts circles in the Central Plains had worked so hard to complete fell into the hands of Japan and other powerful countries. The Japanese military introduced those "martial arts revolution results" to Japan. In the martial arts world, the Japanese martial arts world developed rapidly from this. Although the Sanji Sect did not participate in it, it also benefited from it. The strength of the sect developed rapidly and eventually became the number one martial arts school in Japan. A large part of the martial arts school in the Central Plains absorbed a large part of the martial arts circles in the Central Plains at that time. The reason for the most cutting-edge martial arts achievements.
For a long time after that, the strength of the Japanese martial arts community was several times that of the Central Plains martial arts community. This was the first time that the Japanese martial arts community caught up with itself.
It was not until later that Yan Jing used his unparalleled martial arts to wipe out the demons and fight against the modern mechanical troops with his flesh and blood body. However, it was his flesh and blood body that smashed those steel monsters to pieces. Only then did martial arts allow more people to see hope. See To the hope of fighting modern weapons with martial arts.
You have science, I have magical power.
This was the favorite slogan of people in the Central Plains martial arts community at that time, although there was only one martial art that could truly fight against aircraft and tanks.
After the end of World War II, the strength of the Japanese martial arts community was severely damaged, while the Central Plains martial arts community was on the rise again. The situation on both sides reversed again, and the martial arts communities in various countries also began to develop steadily in the peaceful days that followed. But what really made martial arts develop rapidly? Or the Cold War after World War II.
With the bottom line of not breaking out of war, all other means were used. That era was an era when capable people and strangers were rampant, and it was also an era when martial artists truly entered the world stage. Martial arts artists from various countries fought against each other for the interests of their respective countries, and the world Martial arts from all over the world collided with each other, and the power of martial arts was repeatedly improved. There were more and more first-level masters of "trance" and transformation. Finally, quantitative changes turned into qualitative changes, and the power of "reaching the peak" came to the world again, and this time, this power No longer owned by just one person.
According to incomplete statistics, in less than fifty years during the entire Cold War period, nearly a hundred martial arts masters reached the "peak" level. In the nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, nearly a hundred people reached the "peak" level. But there were only about twenty people.
Because after the end of the Cold War, the terrifying power of martial artists began to be feared by governments of various countries. Highly skilled martial artists were subject to certain restrictions. It was easy to leave the country, but it was extremely difficult to enter. The "International Security Control" was later promulgated. The "Act" has almost locked the power of "reaching the peak" within their respective countries. No country with clear sovereignty will allow a strategic-level force to enter its territory.
Communication has become difficult, and the development of the martial arts community has also come to a standstill. Except for the large number of people in the martial arts community in the Central Plains, the numerous sects, and all kinds of strange things, there is no need to go abroad to communicate with the martial arts communities in other countries. You can fight on your own. Therefore, apart from the small impact, the martial arts circles in other countries can barely maintain the replacement of old and new forces at the top of the martial arts circles, but it is extremely difficult to grow.
Take the Japanese martial arts world as an example. Forty years ago, when the Japanese martial arts world was at its peak, there were thirteen masters who reached the pinnacle of martial arts, known as the "Twin Walls and Eleven Masters". But now there are only "Five Grandmasters and Four Swordsmen", nine The ultimate master.
Taking into account the four top masters that Yan Fei killed when he challenged the Japanese martial arts world in his sword test, it can be seen that in the Japanese martial arts world for more than 30 years, the top masters have changed, but the number has basically remained the same.
The Japanese martial arts community is already the largest martial arts community in the world except for the Central Plains martial arts community. The situation of the martial arts communities in other countries is even worse, and they are basically in decline.
After all, the movements of the top masters in the martial arts world are restricted, and there are not enough high-intensity battles, so it is difficult to break through in cultivation. Most of the young people nowadays are indolent, and the new generation cannot follow suit. It is strange that the martial arts world can develop.
