Chapter 35: Defeat the Enemy!

"Do you think you can beat me?" The enemy asked defiantly, the sword light flashing in his hand.

"I didn't have the idea of defeating you, I just came to find my true strength." Zhou Dezhou replied indifferently.

The enemy laughed mockingly, "You're running away." ”

"I'm not running away, I'm just trying to understand myself better." Zhou Dezhou said calmly.

The enemy suddenly attacked, and Zhou Dezhou slipped under his feet between dodging, almost losing his balance. But he quickly regained his balance and launched a counterattack against the enemy. The sword qi of the two was staggered, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Zhou Dezhou found that the enemy's swordsmanship was very skillful, but he himself did not show weakness, relying on his intuition and quick reflexes, he gradually gained the upper hand. His attacks became more and more violent, and the sword light became sharper and sharper, until the last sword, and the enemy was defeated.

"You're so strong." The enemy gasped and could not believe that he had been defeated.

Zhou Dezhou did not grasp the joy of victory, but deeply reflected on his fighting style. He realizes that his ruthlessness in battle is no different from that of his enemies, who are all in the pursuit of strength and victory at all costs.

He suddenly realized that true strength did not come from the mastery of swordsmanship, but from the firmness and clarity of his heart. He decided to explore his true power in a different way.

"Thank you for the fight, for making me understand more." Zhou Dezhou raised his head and looked at the enemy deeply.

"You're going to be a great person." The enemy said mysteriously, and then disappeared from Zhou Dezhou's field of vision.

Zhou Dezhou picked up the stone and walked down the mountain. He knew that the stone didn't give him great strength, but it did give him a clearer picture of himself. He walked the mountain path in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his heart became more serene and determined.

He thinks that he will encounter countless obstacles and challenges in his future journey, but he believes that he will have real strength in the face of these challenges because he has mastered his true secrets.

Walking on the mountain path, Zhou Dezhou felt that his heart was becoming more and more peaceful. He put away his sword and instead put his spirit in his mind, which was gradually flowering. Along the way, he admired the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests, quietly thinking about his past and future.

He recalls that he was a samurai and had countless honors and accolades. But those so-called victories and honors are only a kind of empty satisfaction in the end. What he wants now is real inner strength, which will not be satisfied by some vanity, but will grow over time.

His mind kept thinking about this, and gradually he felt that his thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer. His goal is no longer to pursue vanity victories, but to become a more complete and serene person. What he wants to defeat is not someone else, but the uneasiness and contradiction that are entrenched in his heart.

Finally, Zhou Dezhou arrived at his destination. He came to a small mountain, which he had found on an ancient handwritten map. He spent several days searching for this place, climbing countless mountains and rivers. But in the end, he came here.

He looked up at the summit of the mountain, where there was a cave that seemed to lead to another world. Zhou Dezhou was a little nervous, but he would not give up. He took a deep breath and stepped on the solid rocks to climb the mountain.

The climb was difficult, and he climbed the rugged mountain road for two hours straight to reach the peak, and it was already sunset. His body was already a little tired, but his heart was becoming more and more determined.

He walked into the hole, and the only sound of his footsteps was in the darkness. He felt that the cave was so spacious that he could even hear his own echo. He walked for a long time until he finally saw a man. The man looked old, wearing a gray robe, and was skinny. But Zhou Dezhou felt that the man's hair and beard were silver-white, and he seemed to be much older than his age.

"Are you here in search of true power?" The old man spoke slowly.

"Yes." Zhou Dezhou nodded, "I want to reach another realm and become a more complete person." ”

"You've come a good way." The old man's voice was gentle, "But you need more in-depth training." ”

"I'm willing to go through more in-depth training." Zhou Dezhou replied.

The old man had a training session with Zhou Dezhou, teaching him how to find peace and tranquility in his heart and how to find his place in the outer world. He told Zhou Dezhou that the real strength comes from the peace and clarity of his heart, not just the slashing and shining of the sword.

After some cultivation, Zhou Dezhou deeply understood what the old man said. His heart became clearer and more at peace, and in communication with the world, he found himself finding his true place. Instead of chasing vanity and honor, we should enjoy this peace and inner strength.
