Chapter 45: The Humble One
Cao Jin walked in front of Luo Wen.
He looked at Rowan with a flattering smile, unlike Guo Yun just now, there was no hostility on his face at all.
But now showing such a smile on this occasion really makes Rowan feel a little strange.
And not only does his expression be strange, but his dress is also different from others.
Brocade clothes and embroidered jackets, and cicadas don't have any with him.
He was dressed in plain black without any ornamentation.
It looks ordinary and understated.
The enemy took the initiative to challenge, coupled with his strange behavior, which made Rowan curious about him.
Rowan asked him.
"What's your name?"
Cao Jin saluted Luo Wen and said.
"Under Cao Jin."
"Rowan."
Rowan also replied with his name.
"You're different from them."
At this time, Rowan was not only talking about what he was wearing, but also about his different expressions from those pampered apprentices.
This kind of expression, Rowan has seen in hungry dogs before.
But it only appears when he faces the big guys, the kind of mellow and weak expression that flatters others, and can make others feel the most satisfied.
Simple clothes, flattering smiles, this could not have been possible in that group of apprentices.
Cao Jin listened to Luo Wen's words and nodded, and said flatly.
"Indeed, I am not like them."
"I'm a little more humble."
"Humble ...... Cheap"
Rowan was a little surprised to hear this word.
"Hmm."
He still had a smile on his face, and said something terrible as if nothing had happened.
That casualness is like saying that today's breakfast is a bean paste bun.
But under this casualness, what is hidden is the heavy and breathless despair.
"After all, my identity is not as good as theirs, and even now I am just a slave."
"So, in that respect, I'm a little bit more humble."
"I guess I can tell that from the clothes I'm wearing."
He said, pointing to his black clothes.
At this time, Rowan paid special attention to some small details of his clothes.
There was a patch under the sleeves, another next to the hems, and some smudges on the collar that were not visible unless you looked closely.
The whole dress is also very tight, and it feels like a tight.
Indeed, it can be seen from the clothes how poor the condition of this person is.
However, it is not a normal thing for a person to admit that he is inferior to others and inferior to others.
Everyone has their own self-esteem, and being able to let go of their own self-esteem, grovel to others, and admit their own humility can only show that there is something wrong with their three views.
And Cao Jin in front of him can do such a thing, which can only show that his three views have been distorted in an abnormal growth environment.
Rowan sighed and didn't say anything, but directly clenched the hilt of the sword and said to him.
"Be confident, everyone is equal."
"If you admit that you are low, you are really lowly, and you will really be looked down upon by others."
"Alright, let's go to war."
Cao Jin listened to Luo Wen's words and smiled a little bitterly.
"Let's get started."
The coach saw that both sides were ready, so he called to the sidelines.
"Let's go!"
Rowan did not hesitate this time, and directly drew his sword to attack, ready to win with one blow, and quickly end this farce.
"Boom!"
Rowan stepped on the ground under his feet, and with the help of this powerful reaction force, the whole person was like a bullet out of the chamber, rushing straight towards Cao Jin.
In the face of such a swift attack, Cao Jin's eyes flashed, he put away his smile, and dodged directly to the side.
He understood that he could not take this sword hard.
But his speed was a little slower after all, and the blade slashed at his abdomen before he saw it.
"Wow!"
Electrifying and flint.
Cao Jin barely blocked Luo Wen's sword with his sharp sword.
Seeing that his attack was blocked, Rowan was slightly surprised.
But right away, he started the next wave of attacks.
Through the sword just now, he could see that Cao Jin's strength was not bad, and it was completely different from the miscellaneous fish just now.
It's not a product that can be solved with a sword.
At the very least, it will take a few tricks.
"Bang bang bang!"
The blades of the two collided with each other, and the sound they made was like the ringing of a bell, resounding in this martial arts training ground.
Luo Wen didn't retreat at all, and kept pressing Cao Jin to fight, and after a while, he directly knocked Cao Jin back several steps.
In the face of Luo Wen's offensive, Cao Jin could only struggle hard.
And anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Jin can't hold out for too long, and he will be defeated by Luo Wen.
However, the apprentices did not show up to mock Cao Jin.
They understood that if it were them, they were afraid that when Rowan made the first sword, they would be defeated, and they would not even have the qualifications to make two moves with Rowan .
They were a little incredulous and a little jealous.
They don't know much about Cao Jin, but they also know that he is just a child brought back from the slums by the Guo family.
Compared with them, the identity is simply a comparison of cloud and mud, but now he is inferior to him, how can people accept this?
For Luo Wen, they no longer have any hatred, after all, the other party is Master Yi's apprentice, and his own strength is high.
But for Cao Jin, they are not convinced.
After all, Cao Jin's strength is just a little higher than them.
And that's what people are.
I will only envy those who have a million, I will not envy those who have a hundred, I will only envy those who have a hundred million, I will not envy those who have a hundred million.
When the gap between people and people is only one point, the root of people's inferiority comes out.
"Stirrups!"
Under Rowan's attack, Cao Jin's sword was cut off alive.
Looking at the severed weapon, Cao Jin couldn't remain calm, and looked at his broken sword in dismay.
Just when he was stunned, Rowan's next attack was here again.
"Let's use sword drawing to end this game."
Thinking so in his heart, Rowan burst the long-accumulated qi at once.
With the explosion of powerful energy, the power and speed of Luo Wen's sword increased by a notch, and directly before Cao Jin could react, it slashed at his neck.
"Stirrups!"
What Rowan didn't expect was that he directly picked up the broken sword and blocked Rowan's sword drawing technique.
However, the broken sword that had already endured the limit, under Rowan's sword, even the last bit of the blade was cut off and became bare.
Seeing Cao Jin holding the broken sword to block his attacks, Rowan frowned, and at the same time noticed that his hands were not shaking at all.
It stands to reason that after bearing such a large shock force, your hands should be shaking, right?
However, when fighting, Luo Wen couldn't think too much, he directly raised his sword and prepared to start the next blow.
But just as Rowan raised his sword, he also raised his hand.
"I threw in the towel."
"Sure enough, it's still you who are strong."
He surrendered on his own initiative.
Seeing that Cao Jin had admitted defeat, Rowan put down his sword.
"You're not bad compared to them."
"Both in terms of strength and courage are very good."
And hearing Luo Wen's encouragement again, Cao Jin still smiled.
"I hope so."
Seeing that Cao Jin was still smiling, Luo Wenming confessed that his words had no effect on him at all.
People with low self-esteem always face everyone with a smile, so if he laughs, it doesn't mean that he is happy, it's just a mask to deal with others.
And after the inferiority complex reaches a certain level, praise and encouragement have no effect, because in the ears of people with low self-esteem, any praise is just another form of ridicule.
So inferiority is really a thorn rooted in people's hearts and can never be pulled out.
And Cao Jin's inferiority complex may never be pulled out.
