Chapter 31: A Strong Heart

Had dinner.

Lu Fan and Su Mu walked side by side on the road.

"Congratulations, Lu Fan, you successfully advanced to the second round."

Su Mu had a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the bitterness in his eyes.

He had a fight today, but he lost, and he lost badly.

With just one move, he was defeated by his opponent.

And the other party didn't exert much force at all, just an understatement blow, and he flew out.

The gap is too big.

The gap is even bigger than when he fought Liu Ying at the beginning.

According to his estimate, the other party was at least an eight-rank martial artist.

"Are you alright?"

Lu Fan saw that Su Mu's face was wrong, and comforted: "Temporary success or failure doesn't mean anything, we are still young, and we will have the opportunity to surpass our opponents in the future, and we don't even need to defeat him to make him look up to you." ”

"That's right!"

Su Mu nodded, his eyes were a little more bright, he clenched his fists tightly, and said loudly: "One day, I will let him obey me!" ”

"Who is he?"

Lu Fan was a little curious.

He felt Su Mu's emotions, and it seemed that he was very aggrieved?

Is this holding back the fire in my heart?

"His name is Ye Wuchen."

Speaking of this person, Su Mu felt a little more resentful in his words, "This person is too arrogant, but he is very strong, I'm afraid you are not his opponent." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan became interested when he heard it, "How strong is he?" ”

"I don't see it."

Su Mu shook his head lightly, "But I guess he has at least eight grades of cultivation, right?" ”

"How did you defeat him?"

Lu Fan asked, "Can you talk about it?" ”

Su Mu was silent, his face a little ugly.

"Forget it."

Lu Fan understood after a little thought, Su Mu must have lost ugly.

"It's okay, I'll give you a heads-up."

Su Mu smiled reluctantly, "In case you meet him, you may be able to be careful." ”

"He didn't use a fist, he used a palm technique."

"Before joining the army, he should have worshiped his master, and it is very likely that he is a disciple of the sect, or a child of a family."

"When the two of us fight, my first punch, he slapped a fluttering palm, it looks slow, and he doesn't have much power."

"But the last one came first, slapped me on the chest and knocked me away."

"And he controlled his power very well, not only knocked me away, but also briefly sealed my meridians, making me unable to move."

"Even if I wanted to fight him, I wouldn't have a chance."

Su Mu sighed: "I can only watch the referee announce his victory." ”

"Then you're not hurt, are you?"

Lu Fan asked.

"Nope."

Su Mu shook his head lightly, "He deliberately controlled the power, just enough to knock me away and not let me get hurt, but this control is terrifying." ”

"He's pretty measured."

Lu Fan was puzzled: "I think you seem to have a grudge against him?" ”

"Alas!"

Su Mu sighed heavily and said, "The most unacceptable thing is not that I lost to him. I can afford to lose, even if I lose in this way, I can accept it. ”

"But his attitude made me unable to let go."

"He never said a word to me from beginning to end, nor did he show any hostility or contempt for me."

"But I just don't feel well."

"It's as if he were a god on high, looking down on all beings."

"And I'm just an ant, and I don't deserve a look from him."

"The feeling of being ignored, you don't know, is even more uncomfortable than contempt for you."

Thinking of that person, Su Mu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "Since I was a child, I have never been ignored like this. ”

"That's right."

Lu Fan understood, although he hadn't experienced it, he understood that feeling.

is like a dick in the previous life, shuffling around the goddess in her heart to ask for warmth, busy before and after.

The other party doesn't bother to look at you.

Even take your hospitality for granted.

Comes when you call, and goes when you linger.

After trampling on your dignity, you turn back and throw yourself into the arms of others.

Even if she is dumped and down, she still won't look at you.

"It's fine."

Lu Fan comforted: "Some people are like this, they are born to feel that they are superior to others, and no one looks down on them. But when he met someone who could suppress him, he was humble as if he had changed into a different person. ”

"You don't really need to care about that."

"As long as you're strong enough, you don't need to care about other people's opinions."

"When I say strong, it's not the strength of your strength, but the strength of your heart."

As he spoke, Lu Fan patted Su Mu's shoulder, "Come on, this is all a necessary experience for us." ”

"That's great!"

Su Mu was shocked: "Lu Fan, where did you come up with so many strange ideas? ”

"I figured it out myself."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "People like us from ordinary backgrounds will always experience such and such setbacks, and our hearts will be tempered and become stronger. ”

"Originally, this was our disadvantage, but it may become our advantage in the future."

"On the way to cultivating martial arts, the more you get to the end, the more you need a strong heart."

"When you achieve something in the future, look back and look at the present and be grateful for the experience."

As he spoke, Lu Fan raised his head, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Those who once looked down on us will eventually be trampled under our feet. ”

"Good! You can say that again! ”

Su Mu was inspired again, and said loudly: "I must get ahead and let everyone see it, I, Su Mu, am also a great person." ”

"That's right, let's do it together."

Lu Fan nodded, "As long as you have this kind of heart, you will definitely succeed." ”

"Hmm."

Su Mu clenched his fists and waved vigorously, "From now on, I will redouble my efforts, and in the future, I will defeat Ye Wuchen with my own hands and make him bow his head in front of me." ”

"Yes."

Lu Fan said: "The reason why he is stronger than you is because his starting point is higher than yours. When we enter the Dragon Shadow Guard, we will enter a new starting point, slowly close the distance with him, and it will be a matter of time before we surpass him in the future. ”

"Thank you, Lu Fan."

Su Mu had completely figured it out, and looked at Lu Fan with gratitude, "Your enlightenment has given me confidence again, and it has also allowed me to face up to the gap between myself and others, so as to find my own shortcomings and slowly improve myself." ”

"Yes, that's how it should be, keep a good attitude."

Lu Fan said: "Don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged in defeat, firmly believe that you are different, and success is only a matter of time." ”

"Well, come on!"

Su Mu nodded vigorously.

……

Through his brilliant performance, Lu Fan is also fortunate to be supported by more people.

Su Mu, who was eliminated, also sat in the stands and cheered for Lu Fan with Jiang Yunfei.

"Lu Fan, Cheng Da."

The referee called out the names of the two contestants, and the two of them ascended to the stage.

was still on the last competition platform, and Lu Fan was divided into the first game again.

His opponent was not tall and looked a little thin.

"Hello."

The two stood facing each other, nodding to each other.

"Game on!"

As the referee announced, Cheng Jin took the lead in swinging his fist at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan didn't dodge this time, but faced the opponent's fist and punched out.

Cheng Jin suddenly changed his move, dodging, trying to dodge Lu Fan's fist.

And yet in vain.

Lu Fan's fist seemed to lock on him, no matter how he dodged, he followed him like a shadow.

Under his stunned gaze, Lu Fan's fist was lightly imprinted on his chest.

"Bang!"

He flew out all over.

"Lu Fansheng!"

The referee raised Lu Fan's arm high.

"Good!"

"Win again!"

"Great!"

"Lu Fan!"

There were cheers from the stands again.
