Dragon Slayer.

Someone once said......

There is often a fine line between a genius and a madman......

In fact, this sentence is very reasonable from a certain point of view......

It may be more reasonable to put it in a different way......

The biggest difference between them and real madmen is that although they are always mavericks, they will abide by the most basic laws, and they will not do those strict anti-human behaviors......

And the so-called madman, in fact, is the genius who has crossed the boundaries of ordinary people, and their behavior is often beyond the cognition of ordinary people, which is why they are defined as crazy......

In fact, in a certain sense, madmen and geniuses themselves often have some abilities that ordinary people do not have......

It's like some crazy people who always fantasize that they have become another person, and they always fantasize that they have become omnipotent, and if this fantasy is placed on a rational ordinary person, this fantasy will often be just a fantasy, because the vast majority of rational people will use their reason to restrain their fantasies, so their fantasies will not become reality......

However, if this fantasy appears in the body of a madman, it may become a reality, because the madman has no so-called reason at all in the subconscious, and in their cognition, as long as it is confirmed by themselves, they will definitely trust it 100%, which is why some madmen feel that they have become Bruce Lee, and they can really become martial arts masters......

Despite this physical change. It is often only able to last for a short time. But to be able to form this change itself. In fact, it shows that some crazy people often hide traits that ordinary people do not have......

This is the power of the so-called power of faith......

If you believe in a thing 100%, then it will naturally move closer to the truth......

However, for ordinary people, this is a difficult thing to do, because ordinary people will always have sanity, and their sanity. It can suppress their beliefs, making it difficult for them to realize the power of this so-called power of belief in the true sense......

And between geniuses and madmen, in fact, the biggest commonality is that both are often very, very pure, they will always follow their own hearts and act, completely ignoring what kind of impact their actions will have on outsiders......

Of these two types of people, those who behave clearly against humanity tend to be defined as insane, while those who behave in favor of humanity tend to be defined as geniuses......

The former is often like a villain like the typical Doctor Evil in many movies. The latter are like those scientists who have worked hard for the progress of human civilization......

In fact, these two types of people are essentially just the same kind of people. It's just because they pursue different things that they are defined as madmen or geniuses......

At the end of the day, both of these are very pure people, and they don't change their ideas and practices because of other people......

And if you look at it from another angle......

In fact, the so-called inferiority complex and the so-called pride are also only separated by a thin line......

Many people are withdrawn and even a little autistic......

The vast majority of people in this world will always have a sympathetic attitude towards this type of people, thinking that they should be very inferior, so they are reluctant to communicate with others, or have no ability to communicate with others......

Sometimes, some of these people may have low self-esteem, and they will feel that they are different from others, which will lead to an inferiority complex......

But in fact, not everyone who is withdrawn in the eyes of others is inferior, and among them, some people are not really inferior, but an innate pride!

Yes, pride!

Pride and inferiority, many times, the state presented is actually very similar!

Some people have low self-esteem in their hearts, so they will subconsciously want to refuse to communicate with others, while some people are subconsciously unwilling to communicate with others because of their inner pride......

This is actually like the plot in the X-Men......

Even if they have extraordinary power that ordinary people don't have, but among mutants, they will actually be very obviously divided into two camps, one kind of person will feel that he has great power, so he subconsciously feels that he is completely above ordinary people, and because of this, he is separated from the crowd and does not like to communicate with ordinary people, or even if he communicates, he will always put himself in a relatively high position......

On the other hand, mutants who are not very capable, coupled with their own non-human characteristics, often have some feelings of inferiority due to this, and feel that as a mutant person, and different from ordinary humans, they will feel that mutation is a disease......

In the final analysis, whether it is because of their extraordinary strength and feel inferior or should feel proud, in essence, it depends on a person's own nature to decide, people who are relatively cowardly in nature are often easy to feel inferior, and some people who are relatively strong in nature may be proud because of this, feeling that they have the power that ordinary people do not have......

Dragon Slayer.

This is actually like an awakened person in reality......

The existence of the Awakened is a copy of the mutant in the X-Men, but the biggest difference with the mutant is that. The power of the awakened can be achieved through the exercise of one's own efforts. Reasonable exercise methods. It is enough for an awakened person to grow up in a short period of time, even if it is an awakened person whose talent is not very strong, he can often exercise reasonably and become not weak in combat power......

On the contrary, even if the Awakened are extremely talented, if they are not discovered by the Awakened Organization at the first time, or if the pearl is secretly cast, then it is likely to be completely abandoned. Maybe it won't be too weak in terms of combat power, but compared to those elites of the same level who have been cultivated, there is often not much comparison......

The biggest difference between mutant awakened people is that the mutant mutation itself is an uncontrollable phenomenon, after the mutation, what kind of ability, what kind of ability level, and what kind of effect can be produced are all unpredictable things. Some of them are very strong, some of them are very weak. And the control of power can only improve the way power is used, but it cannot fundamentally improve their power......

High-level mutants can always be above low-level mutants, and even some mutants have a great difference in physical appearance from ordinary people, but their mutation ability is very weak, which is a very typical product of mutation failure......

In the world of mutants, power is often a natural thing, and there is not much room for growth, in fact, this is also a very typical situation in Western hero comics, that is, in the background of the Western world, there is often not much concept of cultivation, and ability is often started, it is almost fully formed, and the last supplement is nothing more than the skillful use of ability, that's all......

If the talent is not good, then it is impossible to surpass the existence of a strong talent in the rest of your life......

And this is completely different in the Eastern world, where talent is a very important attribute in the world of the Oriental background, but acquired efforts are often more valued......

Just like in Xianxia novels, although most of Xianxia novels generally introduce the setting of spiritual roots, but in fact, before the process of cultivating immortals, those who really value spiritual roots are often only the first few stages, among these stages, people with spiritual roots are often easier to grow, and it is easier to break through the realm quickly, but once they reach a relatively high level, the role of spiritual roots will gradually fade, and in the end, it is still their wisdom and luck to look at......

Speaking of which, such a model is actually quite similar to the road to success in reality......

The so-called spiritual root system in Xianxia novels, in essence, is like the rich second generation of officials in reality, they have the spiritual root that ordinary people do not have, so they can better develop on top of the official and business roads, but this kind of high-speed growth can often only play a role at a relatively low level, once they enter the high-level of their respective fields, they must also abide by the rules of the game, and the elders can play a role in their careers and business careers. It's already very diluted, and at this time, it's the real capable ones who go up, and the incapable ones go down!

Speaking of which, this is also a difference between Westerners and Easterners in terms of concepts, Westerners have more of a concept that talent determines a qiē, just like in fantasy novels, people who do not have the talent to learn magic will never be able to become a mage apprentice, and according to the rules of DND, the intelligence of a mage will often determine what kind of height a mage can grow to, and what kind of growth speed he has, and even eventually become a god or a great arcanist. Dou is closely related to the foundation of a mage, in the concept of Westerners, acquired efforts cannot change talent, and the meaning of acquired effort is only to truly bring out a person's talent......

In the concept of Oriental people, it is the opposite, although talent is very important, but in the perception of Oriental people, people's efforts are also an indispensable part of success, even more important than talent, the so-called diligence can make up for clumsiness is such a truth, in the Western background of the novel, the vast majority of the protagonists, often are extremely talented and talented storage zài, but in the Oriental background of the novel, many protagonists even if they are talented and dull, can still become a winner in life, From this, we can see the differences between Eastern and Western cultures......

Easterners and Westerners, this difference in ideas. It often leads to the fact that the two have completely different attitudes towards the supernatural......

Westerners are typical pragmatists. They don't have any concept of cultivation and training. They are looking for power that is simple and direct, that can be seen and touched......

Just like the so-called strength of Westerners, it is often the muscles that bulge like granite all over the body, and they will feel that the more developed the muscles, the stronger their combat power will often be, and the more powerful the body contains. The more terrifying the destructive power that can be displayed in battle......

From a racial point of view, Westerners are naturally stronger than Easterners, so they always instinctively want to strengthen this advantage......

But Oriental people are the opposite, Oriental people attach great importance to the cultivation and cultivation of the day after tomorrow......

And this is precisely the difference between the Eastern and Western martial arts!

Westerners like to see and touch the strength that can be displayed, so their martial artists are often a body of muscles, if not the kind of body that is like a bodybuilder, but at least there is no shortage of muscles on the body......

The warriors of the East, on the other hand, are hardly able to exercise their body muscles. Even if they have muscles in their bodies, they are often just a by-product of their martial arts practice. They don't pursue the muscles of the body too much, more often, they pursue a kind of muscles, bones and skin, and pursue an introverted cultivation method, which is also the so-called external training of muscles and bones, and internal practice, which is why many elderly martial artists always look lean and lean, in fact, they have practiced kung fu to the muscles, bones and skin, because they do not practice meat, so there is no excess fat in the body, and because they temper their muscles and bones, so the bones are much thicker than ordinary people. As a result, most people will feel that the survival of warriors is relatively thin at a glance......

Warriors in the East often look ordinary, and they don't see any muscles on their bodies, and if they walk on the road, they won't attract the attention of others......

However, once such a person breaks out, the power that can erupt is unimaginable to the vast majority of ordinary people......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Dragon Slayer.

In the final analysis, the reason why there is such a difference between the East and the West is essentially because of the difference in race, Westerners themselves have an advantage in the physique of the race, so they will always try to expand this advantage simply and rudely, while the Easterners know very well that they can't compare with the West in a simple body, so they will create a martial art, trying to improve their body element through guò fighting skills, and at the same time defeat Westerners who are higher than themselves... …

This is like for a rich man who is accustomed to hurting people with his own money, smashing people with money has often become an instinctive behavior, but for a new business person in the entrepreneurial period, it is often necessary to be careful and not waste any resources......

Of course, no matter what kind of power-raising system it is, in essence, it is inevitable that it will eventually affect each other and produce integration......

In fact, this can be seen by looking at those Westerners who are fanatical about oriental martial arts, and then looking at the Chinese warriors wearing muscles who gradually appear in the ring of martial arts......

Although from the perspective of traditional martial artists, it is important to practice their basic skills well rather than to exercise their own body muscles, but for the vast majority of the new generation of martial artists, exercising a good body of muscles is still one of the effective ways to quickly grow their strength......

In fact, in the X-Men, there is nothing wrong with Magneto's ideals......

However, the most critical problem is that Magneto simply wants to build a world that belongs to mutants, but he has not put himself in the shoes of mutants, as a powerful mutant with high-level abilities, Magneto himself actually does not need to consider the problem of cultivation ability at all. What he needs to do. Strengthen your own strength in terms of technical equipment. At the same time, it is just to isolate the professor's powerful mind-control ability......

And the reason why he failed, in fact, is because of this, the mutant mutation itself is just a variety of accidents, and the ability is also strong and weak, for some weak mutants, it is not an unacceptable thing to turn back into a human being, especially for some mutants whose bodies have a strict but not strong enough ability, and this is even more true for them......

From their point of view. If they really join a mutant dynasty, they themselves are just the lowest level of existence, and on the contrary, if they return to human society, they can continue to enjoy their original life and social status......

Because of this, Magneto's ideals, in essence, are just the ideals of a few of the more powerful mutants, and they can't really benefit all mutants, if Magneto can really calm down and study the causes of mutants. To study how to make the power of mutants stronger, and how to improve the ability level of mutants through cultivation. Then it may be able to change the inferiority complex mentality of a large number of mutants in a real sense, so that they are fundamentally aware of the reality that they are superior to others, so as to finally achieve the parity with ordinary humans......

And the existence of the awakened person, in fact, the biggest difference between the mutant is actually because of the relationship between the cultivation system!

The ancestors of the Awakened, while realizing their own power, did not simply obsess over their own power, but tried to dig out the secrets behind their power, tried to find the commonality of this power, and tried to make their power grow in a reasonable way......

Although this process can actually be said to be full of thorns, you must know that it is a very, very difficult thing in itself to transform an ability that is originally a talent into a power system that can be cultivated and improved, especially in the initial stage, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, after all, the concept of ability is God-given for a long time, and it can be said to be deep-rooted among the awakened, and for the vast majority of awakened people, it is already a godsend that they can have supernatural power. If you want to go further and make yourself stronger, it's a fool's dream......

In a certain way, it is precisely because of the Awakened Ones that the Awakened will eventually become stronger little by little, even far beyond their predecessors, and step into a height that is unimaginable for most Awakened Ones......

Speaking of which, the group of the Awakened was actually not very powerful at the beginning, and from ancient times to the present, in fact, there have always been people with their own extraordinary powers......

Just like in ancient times, there were many memorable scribes, or overlords who were born with divine powers, or running men who were known as gods, or fierce generals with the power of nine bulls and two tigers, or divine shooters who pierced through the sun in a hundred steps, or god-level characters who could naturally recognize astronomy and geography and control the flow of feng shui......

In fact, if you think about it carefully, like the borrowing of the east wind incident in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people think that it is Zhuge who is proficient in astronomy and geography, but from the perspective of Zhou Yu's appearance in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems that it is not so simple......

The reason is actually very simple, to say that you are proficient in astronomy and geography, these can be said to be the necessary skills of fixed strategists, why Zhou Yu and Lu Su do not have any knowledge of astronomical changes, and they are not aware of the possible east wind?

However, Zhuge was able to borrow the so-called east wind from the prophet, and why did Zhou Yu make up his mind to kill Zhuge after knowing that Zhuge borrowed the east wind, and why?

Many people think that the east wind itself should be stored zài, and Zhuge borrowed the east wind's behavior to just pretend......

But what if you understand it the other way around? Perhaps the actual situation is just the opposite, the east wind may not exist in the first place, but it is precisely because of Zhuge practice that there is a strange east wind!

In fact, from the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it can also be clearly seen that in the later period, Zhuge actually had the means to continue his life with seven stars, although it failed in the end, but who can say that it is not a typical supernatural power?

If Dongfeng is just pretending, then how to explain the life of the seven stars?

In fact, these various historical figures, in essence, can be regarded as the predecessors of the Awakened...... (To be continued......)
