Murong Xuanbai faced his cousin, the strongest swordsmanship of the younger generation of the starry sky, and silently raised the long sword in his hand with a cold expression.

Murong Xuanyi's expression was much more relaxed. He carried the scabbard on his shoulder, bit a toothpick at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Do you know why we used the Trapped Immortal Array to trap you in the cultivation hall?"

"In order to prevent me from participating in the competition, I am afraid that our Kyoto University will trample you under your feet again?"

"No, we're just here to protect you, and we're afraid your ego will hurt in the ring. ”

"???" Murong Xuanbai looked at his cousin in confusion.

"You have been practicing swords very seriously since you were a child, and you are obsessed with swords to the point that we don't dare to win you, because every time you win against you, you will double your training without eating or drinking, and then we can only reluctantly let you win on purpose. ”

"Do you know why your brother will take your place as heir, not because he has a system, but because he is so talented in swordsmanship, much higher than you, and the system is just an excuse for us to comfort you. ”

"It's a pity that you still appeared on the field in the end, so I had to wake you up with a sword, let you know that you are not worthy of sword training, and die of this heart early!"

Murong Xuanbai listened to his cousin's words, stood on the field dumbfounded, and finally immediately said firmly: "I don't believe what you say, I only believe in this sword in my hand, since you think I am not worthy of sword training, then use your sword to prove it to me." ”

"Well, let me see if this sword in your hand is worth believing. ”

After Murong Xuanyi finished speaking, the long sword came out of its sheath, pointed obliquely at the sun above his head, and swung it at Murong Xuanbai.

At the same time, Murong Xuanbai also used exactly the same action as him, and the two swords struck each other in the air.

"Boom!"

The moment the two swords collided, it was like igniting a bomb and exploding between the two of them.

The shock wave generated by the explosion flipped Murong Xuanbai's body over, and a wisp of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

He didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the other side.

I saw that Murong Xuanyi was still standing still in a chic manner, obviously having the upper hand in the sword just now.

"Now do you believe how bad your sword is?"

Murong Xuanyi was still biting a toothpick at the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of mockery.

Murong Xuanbai looked at the sword in his hand in disbelief, he couldn't believe that after so many years of hard training, the final result would be like this.

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Murong Xuanbai.

Practicing day and night, swinging the sword thousands of times a day, what was waiting for him was this result.

The cousin in front of him, who is often late for the family's training classes, is lazy and deserts when practicing swords, and he practices more every day after class, and the training time is more than twice that of the rest of the clan.

He knew a long time ago that he was not a genius, and he thought that hard work could make up for the gap in talent, but he didn't expect that the gap was far bigger than he imagined.

"I'm not reconciled!"

Murong Xuanbai drew his sword again.

The result was no different from the previous one, causing no damage to his opponent, while he himself vomited a mouthful of blood again.

Murong Xuanyi still gritted a toothpick and said, "Actually, you really worked hard, but sometimes hard work can't change anything. ”

The words "You really worked hard" sounded in Murong Xuanbai's ears, which was really a great irony.

When a student is studying, if his grades are very poor, the teacher will give two kinds of comments.

The first is that the child is very smart, but he is too lazy, and if he is diligent, he will definitely be able to get good grades.

When the teacher says this, the main reason is to criticize the student for being too lazy, but the student is very happy, because they all think that laziness can be corrected, and stupidity can be cured.

The second evaluation is: This child has really worked hard.

When the teacher says this, it is usually to comfort the student, but it will be even more sad to hear it in the student's heart. Because this evaluation means that I am really stupid.

You failed the exam, and your friend comforted you and said, "It doesn't matter, you've worked really hard." ”

You failed your speech, and your friend comforted you by saying, "It doesn't matter, you're really trying." ”

You lose the game, and your friend comforts you by saying, "It doesn't matter, you've worked really hard." ”

The person who says this has a good intention, but the person who listens to it is often more uncomfortable.

This sentence is telling you that you have worked hard and have not got a good result, which can only say that you are too stupid.

Most people can accept that they are lazy, but they can't accept that they are not talented.

Because everyone believes that talent is innate, and hard work can be changed after tomorrow, and everyone can do it.

Now, Murong Xuanbai, who regards the sword as his whole life, is forced to accept a fact:

He had no talent for sword practice.

He is not an ordinary person, he was born in the Murong family, and was once the first heir of the Murong family, and the Murong family's swordsmanship is the first in the world.

If he really didn't have the talent to practice swords, how could He De lead the Murong family?

What made him even more uncomfortable was that over the years, everyone had been acting with him, and they all deliberately lost to him.

Thinking of this, Murong Xuanbai's hand holding the sword couldn't help but loosen, and the long sword slipped from between his fingers and fell to the ground.

When Xu Keli saw it, he sighed and said, "As a swordsman, nothing is more important than self-confidence, and at present, it seems that Murong Xuanbai has lost the determination to win. ”

Qiu Yu hurriedly asked: "What should I do then?" Jingda has already lost two games, and if you lose this one again, you will be out. ”

"The end has been decided, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. ”

"You can't blame Murong Xuanbai, he really worked hard, and Beijing University was able to defeat Shanhai College and enter the quarterfinals of the national league, which is also worthy of the audience. ”

Sidelines.

Wang Wu and the others were speechless for a while when they heard the conversation between their cousins.

They knew best how much effort Murong Xuanbai put into practicing his sword.

Li Shan is a fat man who is often ridiculed, and in order to change himself, he cultivates very hard.

Wang Wu died in the war in his previous life, and in this life, in order to change his fate and no longer become an ant to be kneaded by others, he also paid far more sweat than ordinary people.

But compared to Murong Xuanbai, the efforts of the two of them can only be described by the word lazy.

No matter how hard Wang Wu tried, there were times when he was slack. I often go to the school's grove with my senior sister.,And often can't calm down and practice under the harassment of beautiful girls.。

Not to mention Li Shan, a beautiful woman passing by him can immediately attract his attention. Even though he cultivated all day, he actually lost his mind two-thirds of the time.

Only Murong Xuanbai could truly spend all his time on cultivation.

Now, if these efforts are useless, the blow to Murong Xuanbai can be imagined.

If I put in so much effort and can only get such a result, then what else do I have to work hard for?
