Chapter 11: Self-Doubt
"Hahaha............"
After being knocked to the ground by Shui Kui countless times, Zhang Tie finally mastered the trick.
He jumped up from the ground laughing, his twin swords pointed at the two water yirans.
After a while, Zhang Tie fell into deep thought slightly, fighting with the two Shui Kui for a long time, he had already realized the difference between the sword intent of thunder and lightning and the sword intent of wind.
What kind of sword intent did you re-elect and incorporate?
There wasn't much time left for him to think, and the two water kui had already rushed towards him again.
If he didn't quickly integrate the right sword intent, he would be knocked to the ground by Shui Kui again.
Now he can't use any sword power, he relies entirely on the strength of his body, and he still hurts a little when he is knocked to the ground again and again.
"It's decided!"
A fine light flashed in front of Zhang Tie's eyes, and he immediately made up his mind. In his mind, a picture came to mind, the picture of killing the blue-eyed water Jiao.
"Then the wind!"
I saw Zhang Tie scream softly, and the long sword in his hand slowly changed, and his swordsmanship became ethereal and weird.
It's ethereal, unpredictable, and fast.
"Finally, I don't have to be pressed and beaten by you!"
After integrating the sword intent of the wind into his swordsmanship, Zhang Tie's combat power immediately became equal to that of the two Shui Kui.
His footwork is already good, even if he faces two Shui Kui who are not weaker than him at the same time, he will not have the slightest appearance of defeat for a while.
Touch!
What Zhang Tie didn't expect was that while fighting, the two water kui suddenly touched each other, and it turned into a rain of water again.
"I ...... I didn't beat them, did I?"
Zhang Tie carried the long sword and stood aside. Even if he integrated the Wind Sword into his own swordsmanship, his strength definitely did not crush the two Shui Kui, at most, it was on par with them.
The swordsmanship of the two Shui Kui was integrated with the sword intent of thunder and lightning and the sword intent of the wind respectively.
In swordsmanship, they are quite good.
However, while fighting, the two Kui disappeared.
This had to make Zhang Tie extremely puzzled. I don't know when it started, but the assessment became more and more strange.
This assessment became as if he was cultivating him.
Originally, he thought that the difficulty of people from the outside world participating in the assessment would increase tenfold, and he thought that it must be a scene of nine deaths and one life.
But in order to survive in the Sword Palace, in order to be able to return to the Shang and Zhou dynasties again, he had to participate in the assessment.
What I never expected was that the assessment became more and more strange.
Where is this assessment? It is clearly to help him master swordsmanship.
"But?"
Zhang Tie sat on the edge of the waterhole and fell into contemplation again
After fusing the sword intent of the wind, his swordsmanship has indeed become very powerful and weird.
But really, this kind of swordsmanship didn't help him very much.
After all, techniques are still techniques, and the way of nature above techniques and techniques are completely different concepts.
If the power of the sword is restored, or if you can use the way of nature, this sword technique will have little effect on you.
Although, he liked this pure swordsmanship very much.
However, this kind of swordsmanship really didn't help him much. What is the use of this assessment forcing him to master this kind of swordsmanship?
What Zhang Tie, who bowed his head and pondered, didn't notice was that the pool was surging up again.
This time, the cascading waterfall above the waterhole completely stopped.
Bursts of mist slowly shrouded Zhang Tie.
"It's so cool!"
When he noticed a cold feeling on his face, Zhang Tie immediately raised his head.
"What is this?"
The scene in front of him immediately shocked Zhang Tie.
The waterhole and waterfall in front of him disappeared completely, and countless droplets of water appeared in the air in front of him.
Zhang Tie stretched out his hand forward, and there was a cool feeling on the palm of his hand.
"What the hell is this?"
Zhang Tie frowned and looked at the water droplets.
Suddenly, all the water droplets above the air began to spin, faster and faster, faster and faster.
"What is this?"
Zhang Tie was completely stunned and looked around. I don't know when I reappeared in an extremely dark space.
Not far from him, there was a faint flickering light.
With curiosity, Zhang Tie tried to get closer to the faint flickering light step by step.
"There's a play!"
A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and the light not far away was getting closer and closer to him.
Seeing him stretch out his arm, he could reach that faint light. With curiosity, Zhang Tie stretched out his arm, and touched the faint light with his fingers.
Rumble!
When his fingernails touched the faint light, the faint light suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire pitch-black space.
Under the strong light, Zhang Tie's eyes couldn't see anything.
"Hey!ha!hey!ha!"
There was a hehehaha cry from Zhang Tie's ears, and he hurriedly opened his eyes that were closed by the strong light.
"It's so familiar!"
After Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he immediately felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar.
Not far from him, there was a large open space of russet. Above the clearing, there was a group of skinny children, screaming and running in circles around the russet clearing.
"The kid?"
Zhang Tie's eyes were all focused on a thin child with a resolute face.
The more he looked at the child, the more familiar it became. But for a while, I couldn't remember where I had seen the child.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie wanted to walk over.
But as soon as he took a step, the picture in front of him suddenly changed.
As soon as the picture turned, the incomparably familiar child's body trembled slightly, looking at the high platform not far ahead.
On the high platform stood an immensely majestic man, who was armed with a broad, large sword.
Underneath the man, two bound men, fell to the ground. The ground pressed by them was dripping with pitch-black blood.
The man with the broadsword frowned and looked down.
After a while, I only heard him roar angrily: "The Black Feather Guards are not at home, they can't stand this kind of scene, get home as soon as possible!"
Bang!
Zhang Tie suddenly felt a thunderbolt sound in his mind, no wonder he felt that child was familiar.
That kid is himself after all!
He didn't know why, he would appear as a third party in the picture of Zheng who had lived in the past
This, isn't this the previous Black Feather Guard Training Camp?
Zhang Tie looked at the thin child's slightly trembling body, with a strange look in his eyes.
At that time, I was obviously scared to death, but I kept holding on.
The picture changed again, and the thin child was holding two thicker cheats, and rushed into a forest with great excitement
In the woods, the sound of books turning over was constantly sounding.
Zhang Tie stood in the woods and looked over there. That should be the first time I've come into contact with swordsmanship.
He could feel from the thin child's face how excited he was at that time.
The picture changes again and again.
In the picture, the thin child roars again and again, practicing the most basic swordsmanship again and again.
That time, he learned that his parents didn't die because of the mission.
The picture changes again, and the grown child stands in front of a waterfall, constantly performing the most basic swordsmanship.
There were two lines of tears on the child's face.
That time, he saw how the monster was a chaotic party, and how dark human nature was.
The pictures that change again and again bring an extremely shocking feeling to Zhang Tie's heart.
All the pictures are all what he has experienced.
Unconsciously, Zhang Tie slowly closed his eyes, and his heart was turbulent.
Why did you embark on the path of cultivation?
What is it about you that you want to be strong?
Slowly, as he thought, Zhang Tie's heart became calm.
When he closed his eyes, he didn't notice that the ever-changing picture was gone. Zhang Tie once again, returned to the incomparably dark space of Zheng
Zhang Tie's body moved, and he saw that he was holding a long sword and began to perform swordsmanship again and again.
There is no sword intent in swordsmanship, only the most basic points, stabbing, slashing, and flirting.
At the beginning, Zhang Tie's speed was very slow, every move, every style seemed very clear, and there was no coherence between the moves at all.
But slowly, Zhang Tie's speed of sword came out faster and faster, faster and faster.
Even without the blessing of sword intent, the long sword in Zhang Tie's hand turned into a long sword shadow, and Zhang Tie, surrounded by the sword shadow, kept his eyes closed.
"Why did I embark on the path of cultivation? Because of revenge? But after revenge, why do I want to be in a wider world?"
"Why do I always want to be strong? Because if I am strong, I have the right to speak and have the right to decide?"
Zhang Tie's heart kept flashing with all kinds of thoughts, and his swordsmanship, slowly, also became chaotic.
The whole Rao breath became more and more unstable.
At this time, Zhang Tie reached a very critical time.
Cultivators are inherently on the opposite path, and almost every cultivator is extremely firm in their hearts.
Very few people have self-doubt.
Ordinary self-doubting people will either go crazy in the end, or break through their state of mind and become extremely powerful.
And Zhang Tie is at such a time at this time.
Originally, he would never doubt himself. However, in this strange assessment, he himself saw the process of slowly becoming a cultivator from a mortal.
On the way to watch, he began to have doubts.
Why, has he always wanted to become stronger, why, yearning for the vast world of cultivation?
If you become stronger, can you really have the right to speak and have everything?
Suddenly, Zhang Tie's swordsmanship changed again. What made people feel strange was that the long sword in his hand actually appeared outwards with jet-black mist.
If there is a clear-eyed person here, he will definitely be able to recognize that Zhang Tie is a sign of demons!
As more and more mist emerged from the long sword, Zhang Tie's face became more and more hideous.
Bang dang!
Just when Zhang Tie was about to lose control of himself completely, in his mind, the Yuan Shen, which was originally cut off by mysterious power, suddenly let out a loud bell.
Under the sound of the bell, Zhang Tie felt that someone was constantly hitting his head with a blunt object. Under the sound of the bell, he immediately regained his clarity after being a little confused.
"What happened to me?"
Zhang Tie frowned, trying to remember the scene just now. As he recalled, his face became more and more difficult to look at.
"I almost went mad!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie became a little afraid. Although he had never seen anyone who had gone mad, he had heard of it.
After going mad, his temperament will change greatly, and his six relatives will not recognize him.
"What was that bell just now?"
Thinking of the bell that woke him up just now, Zhang Tie immediately checked it.
"Did the Genshin remind me?"
Zhang Tie looked at his Yuan Shen, and the connection between himself and the Yuan Shen was still cut off by a strange force. His primordial spirit, in the shape of a blood-red sword, was suspended in the dantian, and it didn't look unusual.
"What the hell is going on?"
Just as he was wondering, a faint flickering light appeared again in the originally dark space.
Seeing that light, a slight fear appeared in Zhang Tie's eyes.
He made up his mind that he would never take the initiative to touch the light.
Brush!
But the next scene made his face change suddenly.
He didn't touch the light, but it shot at him at a speed he couldn't dodge.
In the face of the speed of the light, Zhang Tie had no chance to dodge at all, and the light directly submerged into Zhang Tie's body.
"Again?"
I saw the entire pitch-black space flickering with extremely dazzling white light, and when Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he saw the familiar brown land again, and the children who were shouting and running on the land.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhang Tie looked at the constantly changing picture in front of him, and his heart was extremely puzzled.
Slowly, Zhang Tie sensed that something was wrong. In his heart, he actually began to doubt himself again.
"No! don't think about it!"
Zhang Tie shook his head frantically, forcing himself not to think about those things. Just thinking about it, he will start to doubt himself.
The process of self-doubt is very easy to fall into the trap!
"Damn!"
Zhang Tie bit his tongue, and the pain from his tongue made him feel more sober.
But he knew that this sobriety would not last long.
The image that appeared was weird, he tried, and even with his eyes closed, it still came to mind.
Either way, he had to face the image.
But looking at that picture, he always began to doubt himself, and he couldn't control it at all.
"Huh?"
Zhang Tie was slightly stunned, only to see that in the picture not far away, he actually appeared when he had just entered the Split Mountain Sword Sect and entered the Jade Xuan Peak for the first time.
"When you enter Yuxuan Peak, aren't you about to meet the peak master?"
Zhang Tie had a rare gentle look on his face, and began to wait quietly.
What he didn't notice was that the second time he appeared, he went a little further.
In the first scene, Zhang Tie had not even entered the Split Mountain Sword Sect, and he fell into Zheng of self-doubt
And this time, he entered the Split Mountain Sword Sect, and it was about to meet with the peak master of Jade Xuan Peak.
Even at this point, he still hasn't completely fallen into self-doubt
