From the end of the world

Chapter 340 Defeat is inevitable
"why is that?"

I felt a little strange, and then I found a reasonable explanation, "Is it because my power is too strong?"

If a human being can move at dozens of times the speed of sound, can flatten a mountain with one punch, and is so strong that he doesn't need to be afraid even if a nuclear bomb explodes in the face, then the martial arts skills of ordinary people are indeed of no use to him.

Apart from other things, the most basic and core principle of traditional martial arts, "power comes from the ground", is useless to this superman. If he can crush the ground with just a stomp of his foot, then the step of using the ground for power is superfluous; and if this person can move freely in the air, then he doesn't need to pay attention to the center of gravity of his body, anyway, he doesn't even need to worry about whether his body will fall to the ground.

But Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "Although this is part of the reason, it is not the most important thing.

"Zhuang Cheng, you've never fought a normal demon hunter, right?"

Hearing this, I recalled the opponents I had fought so far.

Except for not fighting against bad demon hunters, I have fought against enemies of all levels, from the primary level to the mature level, and then to the great mature level. I even had a brief confrontation with the Great Impermanence. Since Mr. Zhu said it was a "normal demon hunter", then the Great Perfection level and the Great Impermanence obviously cannot be counted.

As for the enemies of level 1 and level 2, the ones I encountered were basically all monsters, and among them, only the monster makers were level 2, and they were obviously not normal demon hunters. When Lu Youxun led the team to kidnap Ma Zao, there were normal demon hunters among them, but they were all subdued by me before they could put up a full resistance, so it is hard to say that I fought with them.

I nodded to Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu showed a look of astonishment, and then said, "If we evaluate according to the standards of a demon hunter, Zhuang Cheng, your level of control over power has reached the highest level that a demon hunter can reach... and even far exceeded it. We demon hunters who are still trapped in the system of common sense are simply far behind you."

To receive such high praise, I feel like things have gotten really bad.

"But I have never properly learned the techniques to manipulate magic power," I said.

"Mana lies in the realm of intuition and a priori. The knowledge learned and the techniques trained exist only to help demon hunters reach that realm better. This is also the biggest difference between mysticism and science." Mr. Zhu explained patiently, "Think carefully about the skills you have used so far, elementalization, flame materialization, flame transmission, flame clone, thermal energy perception...

"Take any one of your magical powers, and it would take a normal demon hunter countless years to learn and imitate it, or even a lot of time to imitate it. You can also let your flame automatically identify the different components of the same object, and destroy only part of it without damaging the others... Do you know how advanced and mysterious this realm is in our eyes?

"And you can accomplish all of this just by instinct. This is the innate realm that countless demon hunters dream of, and you have been in this position since the beginning.

"I also have some spells related to fire, and I can pass on this knowledge to you now. But you will definitely find it very ridiculous after listening to me. You will think that I am teaching you how to breathe and how to walk. Why do I need to spend tens of thousands of words to explain such a simple thing as 'taking a cake from the table and putting it into your mouth'?

"The origin of the magic of the demon hunters is a poor imitation of the operation of nature and the actions of the gods. Although it has become more realistic now, it still cannot be separated from the essence of imitation. And you now want to learn the skills of the demon hunters to use power, just like Xi Shi saw Dong Shi imitating Dong Shi and wanted to imitate Dong Shi... Doing so will only reduce your own strength."

After listening to it, I could only sigh: “So that’s it… I understand.

"So, Mr. Zhu, according to your opinion, if I want to improve my level, what should I do next?"

Mr. Zhu is not the Great Impermanence, so he can't give me specific guidance, and I don't expect that. But since the Zhu family is a family that gave birth to the Great Impermanence in the past, maybe there will be some useful knowledge left, which can at least point me in a vague direction.

"It's very simple. Just keep honing your intuition and accumulating your own insights." Mr. Zhu said, "Starting from the Great Perfection stage, demon hunters will step into an unknown realm where all knowledge and technology can hardly help. And after reaching the Great Impermanence, you will be in a place that no one can understand.

"Not to mention those of us who haven't become the Great Impermanence, even you who are also the Great Impermanence often can't truly understand each other's power and can't guide each other. "You are all loners on your own path."

In other words, there is no shortcut on this path. I can only spend time practicing step by step and gradually accumulate experience.

I had hoped to make up for the missed knowledge at the last minute by cramming, but in the end, it turned out that I was the "Buddha".

Strictly speaking, it’s not like I don’t have other “helps” to fall back on, and that’s the power of the divine seal fragments and the power of refining equipment.

I can continue to sense the connection between myself and the fragment of the divine seal, and try to extract the power from it. Even for the Great Impermanence, the power of the fragment of the divine seal is definitely not to be underestimated. However, as my perception deepens, I gradually understand that this is a challenge that is difficult for me to overcome now.

There are only two ways to clearly grasp the power of the God Seal fragment. One of them is to deepen the connection between me and the God Seal fragment. I have a hunch that the connection between me and the God Seal fragment is actually the connection between me and the virtual world. And the most direct way to deepen it is to make more transactions with the Lord of the God Seal.

This is a route that emphasizes "quality". Another route is a route that emphasizes "quantity", which is to collect more fragments of the divine seal. As long as the number of fragments of the divine seal bound to me increases, the connection will also increase, which will make it easier for me to perceive the power of the divine seal fragments. This is also the safest method.

Even if I get enough fragments of the divine seal, I estimate that it will take more than three months to sense it. And no matter which method is used, it cannot be implemented in a short time. I can't wait until then to challenge the life turbidity.

As for the power of refining weapons... To be honest, I still haven't figured out how to refine other people's souls into magic weapons instead of refining them into slag. Even if it can be done, I don't think that simply refining enemies at the Great Perfection level or below into magic weapons can have an effect on enemies in the Great Impermanence Realm.

"Mr. Zhu, is it really okay for you and Zhu Shi to be with me now?" I asked.

I did not hide anything about my upcoming challenge to the Fate Turbidity. And Mr. Zhu not only did not dissuade me, but also took Zhu Shi with me to the Luoshan headquarters.

In order to prevent being targeted by Ming Zhuo and his subordinates, the Zhu family had previously publicly shown an attitude of cutting ties with me, but continued to provide me with intelligence support in secret; and now this attitude of collaboration is equivalent to telling everyone in public that the Zhu family and I, Zhuang Cheng, are in the same group.

Does Mr. Zhu think that I have a high chance of winning?

"I don't intend to hide behind the scenes until the end and let you risk fighting alone in the front. Although we can't provide any substantial help in your battle with Mingzhu, we should at least show the attitude of sharing weal and woe. If we don't even have this level of attitude, then in the future, let alone joining your sect, even saying that we want to maintain friendship with you seems insincere."

Mr. Zhu glanced at Zhu Shi who was meditating and communicating to forge the Yama Sword, and continued: "I never thought that after you became the Great Impermanence, the road ahead would be smooth sailing; on the contrary, after you became the Great Impermanence, your fate must come. At first, I thought this fate came from the turbidity of life, but I didn't expect it to come from the two yin and yang of the mountain...

“But no matter which one it is, the calamity that befalls you will not disappear, and it has nothing to do with whether you can overcome it or not. Your calamity may affect all the people related to you. And making up your mind to bear this risk is also what those who want to stand on the same front with you must do.

"I have discussed this matter with my granddaughter in advance. When she realized that you might challenge the Fate Turbidity directly, she wanted to dissuade you, but I convinced her."

Hearing this, I expressed my doubts: "In other words, in your and Zhu Shi's opinion, if I fight Ming Zhuo... I am not completely without a chance of winning?"

But Mr. Zhu said without hesitation: "No, you will definitely lose."
