"I really didn't do anything, did I?"

Far away in the imperial dining room of the Jiankang Imperial City, Du Chengfeng scratched his head for a while, he could be sure that he really didn't do anything.

Even, in the recent past, it may be his kindest time.

Although nominally, he came out to cut people this time, but in fact, he didn't really pull out the knife once - maybe the time he first saw Huangtian could be counted as once, but that time was actually not a murder, but Huangtian took the initiative to hit the blade of the sword and commit suicide.

Just like the current situation, he obviously wanted to ask a question, but the other side directly tore his neck open, and he lay down on the ground without his life, who is going to reason with this?

"Hey, can't he be a little more sensible?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Chengfeng finally sighed.

"Why die? How big is it, as for this? ”

With this sigh, the open air in front of him gradually closed.

Originally, he thought that he would be greeted by a vicious battle, but the other party actually committed suicide like this, which is really ...... Fortunately, Huangtian should still be able to be resurrected, and the duel after three days should not be missed, and he still has a bit of a fight when he comes out this time.

Just, although nominally he is a pacifist, from the perspective of a martial arts practitioner, he also has a bit of a need for killing.

Or in other words, only the battle of life and death can make him go further now.

"The main thing is that there is a lack of a stress test."

This is Du Chengfeng's current predicament, in the past, in order to survive, he was obsessed with becoming stronger, but now that he has really become stronger, he can't find a suitable opponent - maybe Huangtian can be counted as one, and the mechanism of infinite resurrection can indeed cause him a lot of trouble, but Huangtian's psychology seems to be a little ...... Too weak, he doesn't seem to be able to expect the other party to be a suitable opponent.

Without a suitable opponent, it will be difficult for him to fully exert his skills, which makes him unable to really detect what he has done well enough and what he has not yet learned.

He doesn't even know himself clearly enough, how can he know from what angle to become stronger?

"A good opponent is a mirror."

Du Chengfeng, who had nothing to do, lay on the rocking chair and chatted with the little emperor on the side.

This kind of topic, naturally, it is impossible to expect the young emperor to understand, so more often than not, it is just Du Chengfeng himself nagging.

Organizing his thoughts while talking is also a unique way of summarizing him.

"The strongest thing...... In fact, there is never anything strongest, only stronger, the stronger are compared, and with comparison, there is strength and weakness...... Of course, the ideal state must be that no one compares with anyone, and everyone lives their own lives, but there is nothing to do about this kind of thing, you don't want to compare, and you can't stand others insisting on comparing with you. ”

If it's compared to other aspects, such as craftsmanship or appearance, it's just a little sulking at most, but the strength and weakness can't be compared, I'm afraid it's not my life that will be gone.

"But...... I'm the Emperor. ”

The little emperor, who had been standing for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.

"If I am the emperor, will I die?"

"Or else?"

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

"Like now, do you think you can beat me or something?"

“……”

The young emperor choked on the spot.

Indeed, the most important lesson he has learned in the past few days is that in the face of absolute violence, the emperor is not a bullshit, indeed, he may be able to make people die with a piece of paper, but that is only when the other party can't reach him.

Just like now, even if he wants to issue some edict, in the face of absolute violence, does he really have a chance to pick up the seal of the Son of Heaven?

"The power of the emperor is ten steps away, within a thousand miles."

The things he had learned gradually became more and more integrated, and the young emperor really realized for the first time that the emperor's power also had a limit.

Even the things taught by those gentlemen are not necessarily reliable, for example, as long as the emperor can issue an edict, he can eliminate a traitor...... But the question is, can it really be cleared? If you really can't beat it like now, then what should you do?

"I ......"

The young emperor was silent for a moment, but still expressed his doubts.

"What should I ......do if I really come across something that I can't beat?"

"That's what you asked."

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

This question is not complicated, in fact, there is a standard answer, if you can't beat it, you can admit it, there is nothing to say about this kind of thing, after all, this means an objective gap in combat power, what else can you do if you don't admit it?

But for the current Du Chengfeng, the answer to this question is not so simple.

Especially after just seeing the scene of Huangtian's suicide.

"This ...... It's up to you. ”

After thinking for a moment, Du Chengfeng began to consider his words.

"Some people will choose to surrender, others will choose to fight, and what you do depends on what you want...... After all, sometimes, compared to something more important, life can actually be paid for as a price, and at that time, people will fight desperately, even if they know that they can't fight, they will continue to fight. ”

"Why are you still fighting?"

The young emperor looked embarrassed.

"Can't you just stop fighting?"

"It's not up to you to decide whether to fight or not, it's up to the strong person to decide."

Du Chengfeng continued to summarize.

"Only the strong side is qualified to stop the fight, after all, he really has the strength to kill the weak, as for the weak side, it is not up to you to decide whether to fight or not, after all, it is already a victory if you can withstand the offensive and not die."

So no matter what, you have to become the strong one.

Du Chengfeng occasionally remembered that when he was still in Jibei, when he first arrived, he provoked a terrifying enemy like Su Xiqing - he also thought that at that time, it was more appropriate to retreat, after all, no matter how many times he thought about it, he could win at that time, not so much because he was desperate, but because he was lucky.

That is, because he was lucky enough, he was able to defeat Su Xiqing and survive, but if he was unlucky, he would probably be there.

So, if he was given another chance to do it all over again, would he still choose to fight hard?

"Probably...... I'll fight it. ”

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng let out a long sigh.

Yes, no matter how many times he comes, he will probably continue to fight, and if he doesn't, then it probably won't be him - although theoretically, he may be able to survive if he escapes, but if he really escapes like this, can he escape for the rest of his life?

Probably not.

Maybe it was such a deviation in thinking that made him embark on a different path, and when he chose to fight, he had gradually detached himself from the life of ordinary people - if he had chosen to flee at that time, then he would probably have enough time to see all the things in this world, but now......

Now that he has no one in front of him who can match him.

This is not some ideological solipsism, but a huge gap in the physical sense, he must carefully control his strength, in order to ensure that the people around him will not die on the spot because of some inexplicable huge force, just like his huge body now, even if he is half-crouched, it is difficult to be at eye level with others.

Therefore, the more this is the case, the more respectful he will be to the people around him, for no other reason, just to get back a little bit of the past, and it is just the feeling of ordinary people.

"Actually, I should develop a technology that makes people smaller."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng patted his head.

Yes, this is what he needs to do most at the moment, not to let others order him a king-size size, but to take the initiative to become an ordinary person himself - of course, this is extremely difficult for him, especially the matter of shrinking the bones, which is unthinkable.

But in this ghostly world of idealism, this bullshit idea may really work.

"As long as I firmly believe, then I will definitely be able to become smaller!"

Thinking like this, Du Chengfeng put this plan in the highest priority.

But that's all there is to it.

The summary of these ideas is probably the summary of his daily thinking activities, and before he finds a suitable opponent, his progress direction can only go to this point - due to the lack of a specific reference, he really doesn't know which direction he should become stronger, let alone what the next step is to be stronger.

So on weekdays, he will study a lot of things that have nothing to do with becoming stronger, such as cooking, or weaving, this behavior is a hobby on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as touching the prize.

"Why do you have to be stronger?"

Listening to Du Chengfeng's complaints for a long time, the young emperor finally couldn't help it again.

"Isn't it okay if it's not strong?"

"It's really not good to be strong."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head, he didn't expect this kid to ask like this.

Or, this is the classic bar lifting, he is talking about things here, and suddenly the opposite side says, "What if you don't do this", it sounds like no problem, but in fact......

"Arms up, don't be lazy."

Du Chengfeng just waved his hand, and a kitchen knife was against the little emperor's arm.

It's really not good not to be strong, the young emperor felt this with his body.

"If you're strong enough, you can actually reject me directly, saying that you won't stand anymore, and that you won't do this kind of training again."

Seeing the young emperor's face sad and indignant, Du Chengfeng shook his head and spread his hands.

"But now you're not strong enough, so you're going to do whatever I say...... What? You say it's like you usually support those eunuchs? Yes, that's really the same thing, because the strong side has the violence, so the weak side can only obey, or just die. ”

“……”

Feeling the blade that was about to pierce the skin, the young emperor straightened his body.

He is still young, his body is more controlled by instinct, and under the survival instinct, he naturally does not want to choose death.

So he can only listen, and he can only obey.

can only conform to this, brought by violence, absolute domination.

"Hey."

After thinking about it, Du Chengfeng still waved his hand and removed those kitchen knives.

Bullying children is not a fun thing to do after all.

He needs an opponent, an opponent who can match him, an opponent who can put pressure on him, but in this situation, such an opponent is too difficult to find - every time like this, he will wonder if it would be easier for him to find an opponent if he didn't choose to fight with Su Xiqing in the first place, but chose to run away.

Maybe it will be easier, after all, once he chooses to escape, his progress speed will never be so fast, he will probably linger for a long time in the stage of evil qi entering the body, and then enter the evil qi release because of some major event...... At that time, Su Xiqing must have killed a lot, and it is even possible that he has already stepped through the release of evil qi and reached a new realm, ten or even a hundred times stronger than before.

If that's life...... Maybe it's not bad?

"It's all about something."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng patted his head again.

Things have passed, and it is useless for him to regret it now, or if he really chose another path at that time, he might also complain about why he was not strong enough, and he would be like him now, hoping that he could choose another path and become a different self - in the final analysis, the reason why this idea was born is because there is no opponent to hold back, and there are not a few opponents in this world who can fight?

"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense."

Du Chengfeng scolded the idle street again.

Even a person like him can fight to the point where he can't find an opponent, so he can't think about how far this world has come.

What's more, this kind of thing is really unreasonable, it is obviously a world of strong idealism, and as long as you have the power to believe, you can do anything, but in such an environment, you can't find many reliable strong people, is this kind of thing reasonable? Is this really reasonable?

"It's decided! I want to be strong! ”

Just when Du Chengfeng was about to scratch his head again, the little emperor on the side gritted his teeth.

"I'm going to be strong! I can't be at anyone's mercy anymore! I am the Emperor! My will is ......"

"What's that?"

didn't wait for the little emperor to finish speaking, but a strong wind blew in his face, directly beating the little emperor to the head.

"If you don't have the ability, don't worry about talking big, just practice more."

"I ......"

In the face of absolute violence, the young little emperor finally shrunk his neck and obediently stood back in his place.

This also made Du Chengfeng a little comfortable.

In the days when he can't find a suitable opponent, he can only bully these children who can't beat him.
