There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"I'm not worried about that anymore. I'm just thinking, if they ignore your opinion and want to use some coercive means to take you away by force..."

Dalian Temple reacted, imagined the situation, and immediately felt it was quite dangerous.

As a child prodigy, she is of course confident in her own strength - but she is by no means stupid enough to not recognize where her own limits are. In today's battle with those three people, she has already felt how powerful the young trio are. No matter whether it is the young man himself who is a powerful wizard, or Yatoshin who has the power of "cutting", they are not something she can deal with alone.

What's more...if I heard that name again...or even if that person appeared in front of me...

Daliansi unconsciously revealed a sinister expression and clenched his teeth.

Seeing her like that, Li Nian roughly guessed what she was thinking.

"What are you going to do?"

“…”: Dalian Temple fell into deep thought.

After listening to Li Nian's words, Jianshan also understood the danger. He looked at Dalian Temple with some worry: "I will report this news to the office... But Lord Dalian Temple, you also know that national first-level demon exorcists like you are very busy. I think it will be difficult to get timely and effective support. The only people who can really be relied on are a few people here... Hey, the one over there, take some responsibility for the problem you raised yourself."

Dalian Temple also reacted and looked at Li Nian who asked the question. The latter received Isayama's clear instruction, but still did not speak, just smiled without saying a word.

Dalian Temple suddenly thought that this person was indeed the main force that repelled the three people in today's battle, and his strength has been directly demonstrated... If she can get Li Nian's help at that time...

Dalian Temple shook his head vigorously.

How could he think of asking for help right away? This would also bring danger to the other party! Dalian Temple immediately abandoned this idea and made a decision, pretending to smile.

"Humph, who do you think I am? I'm a child prodigy - Dalian Temple Suzuka! Of course I can handle this little problem myself."

Handle your own affairs by yourself, this is Dalian Temple Suzuka's reserve. When the time comes, she will fight to the death and let these people know that she, Dalian Temple Suzuka, is also a genuine demon exorcist!

Seeing this, Li Nian nodded secretly.

Naturally, she had already thought of ways to deal with the problems he raised. She planned to help look after the girl without Isayama's hint, but she didn't really want to be a babysitter. It was impossible for her to keep an eye on the situation around Dalian Temple all the time. The key was how Dalian Temple Suzuka herself would deal with it. If she was really so weak that she wanted to throw all the troubles to herself... Li Nian would not just leave it alone.

I didn't say it in a hurry, I just wanted to see what Dalian Temple Suzuka's attitude was.

Daliansi obviously realized that with Li Nian's help, her safety would be better guaranteed. Even so, she still did not take the initiative to ask for help, but seriously planned to handle it herself... Daliansi's attitude made Li Nian very satisfied.

Only then did he smile and speak.

"Don't be so cold. I'm certainly not so cold-blooded as to turn a blind eye to the danger of my colleagues. We're all in the same school anyway, so why don't you try to act with me?"

Dalian Si laughed and immediately understood Li Nian's thoughts. He knew that when he raised the question, this guy had no intention of leaving him alone.

He's harsh with words, but isn't he actually a pretty good guy... She felt warm in her heart, and felt that she had regained some of her spirit and confidence. Her usual proud smile appeared on her face, and she joked.

"…Why, are you scared?"

"What? Uh...right, right, you figured it out with your wit. I was scared to death when I thought about the possibility of getting in trouble. I was worried that I would die without anyone to help me. Lord Dalian Temple, you said you would protect me, don't forget what you said."

"Is that so... I really can't do anything about you. Okay, I will try my best to work with you in the days ahead."

Li Nian rolled his eyes: "I really have to thank you, okay?"

"These two people are really..." Of course, Jianshan also realized that Li Nian was planning to help, but he didn't expect that they could reach a consensus in this form of dialogue. He shook his head with amusement.

Nura Rikuo spoke only after he saw that the exorcists had reached a consensus.

"We in the Nura group will also keep an eye on the whereabouts of those people. We may not be able to catch them, but I think at least we won't allow them to do anything violent in school." Then he added, "I also hope that if you see them, you can report their whereabouts to me in time."

"understandable."

Everyone said goodbye.

After sending Nura Rikuo and the others away, the trio of exorcists will separate.

Although they had just reached a consensus with Li Nian to "help each other", Dalian Temple refused Li Nian's request to send her back to her residence.

"It's impossible for me to be treated like a baby. I will be careful most of the time."

Then, Dalian Si looked serious, bowed his head to Li Nian for the first time, and thanked him sincerely.

"Anyway...thank you for your concern."

Li Nian was slightly startled, then shrugged.

"You are welcome."

Dalian Temple Suzuka left alone.

Watching the petite figure walking away, Li Nian suddenly said to Jianshan.

"Isayama, you have to be careful too."

Jianshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am a nobody and not as conspicuous as the two big guys. I am probably not a target. What should I worry about?"

"That's why." Li Nian shook his head: "When you encounter any danger, it's easier to die."

"..."

"What I said to Dalian Temple is also what I said to you. If you feel something is wrong, remember to find me."

"...I will ask you for help without hesitation, don't worry."

Chapter 254: The Sun Shines After the Clouds Have Dispelled

Li Nian returned to Sakurasou alone.

As expected, she was pestered by Uegusa who had heard all kinds of gossip. He kept asking her about the national idol Dalianji Suzuka. Although she wanted to get away with it by saying that they had worked together, this little information could not satisfy Uegusa's curiosity. She kept asking him questions all the way into the room. In the end, Li Nian couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "How the hell do I know what style that guy's underwear looks like?!" She finally grabbed Uegusa's head and threw it out to end it.

After driving away the grass on the well, Li Nian sat on the chair and finally calmed down to think about what happened today.

However, he didn't think much about the young man, but was recalling the life-and-death battle between himself and Yatogami.

While fighting with him, Li Nian clearly felt that the fog in his mind had dissipated a little, and his mind became more active. His thoughts became faster, and the flow of mana in his body became faster, and his explosive power became stronger. He felt that the power of his sword was stronger than he had expected in the beginning, which was an extraordinary performance.

I didn't feel anything at the time, because my mind was full of thoughts about how to kill the other person. The only thing in my eyes was the enemy. I took it for granted that I was in this slightly abnormal state and started the battle without thinking too much.

But in retrospect, the changes are worth pondering and studying.

First of all, my mentality was a bit strange at that time. I was clearly going to fight to the death, so why was I so excited about it?

Whenever Li Nian fought with others in the past, he always had the intention of killing the opponent. He never went so crazy as to think that this was an interesting thing. With Bing Xin running, there were almost no ups and downs in his emotions. He didn't even have emotions like fear or tension, let alone joy.

What's more, the opponent he met this time was extremely strong. Li Nian felt that he had never met someone with such strength before. Although in the battle it seemed that Li Nian was suppressing Ye Dou Shen with his own strength, and each of his swords forced him back with a bit of force, without leaving any flaws, and did not give the God of War many opportunities to fight back, making it seem to others that Li Nian was fighting so easily, but the danger was only known to the two parties involved.

Fighters like them who mainly engage in close combat focus on the integration and flow of all aspects of their body, skills and energy, in order to coordinate perfectly at all times, so as to accomplish powerful instantaneous bursts, and unleash tremendous killing power with each and every blow. In fact, they think a lot in their heads.

They were all terrifyingly fast and powerful. When these guys collided with each other, they were dancing on the tips of each other's swords. The blades collided and swung closely. There was not much time to think. In the battle, it was more of a test of both sides' reaction speed and coping methods. A mistake would be caught in a flaw. Whoever was hit in the body would not have the time to defend in time to reduce the damage, which would naturally lead to serious consequences. At the very least, they would be injured, and at the worst, they would be killed. So they had to be on high alert.

Li Nian's advantages at that time were all false, and he himself knew very well the nature of the red long sword that the girl transformed into.

When he was hit for the first time, his blood was absorbed by the knife, and the power in the blood was also absorbed.

These forces must have been transmitted to Ye Dou who was holding the sword through the red long sword, and would be digested by Ye Dou in turn. Li Nian knew that if he was hit again and lost a lot of blood, his strong vitality would be absorbed by Ye Dou again, and Ye Dou would definitely recover from it. Maybe the bad condition of suffering several sword wounds and being eroded by the cold would suppress him, Li Nian, so Li Nian was actually under a lot of pressure.

If it were in the past, the more this happened, the more Li Nian would have felt disheartened. This is Bing Xin's characteristic.

But in the previous battle, Li Nian actually felt relaxed and happy in such a high-intensity life-and-death fight.

Li Nian's emotional fluctuations are contrary to the purpose of the Bing Xin Jue mental method.

But the effect is very good.

The mind is still clear, the calculations are still accurate, but because of a sense of pleasure, the mood is more relaxed than usual, the mind seems to be free from the constraints of some cage, and the changes caused focus on the word "fast". The faster the mind moves, the faster the magic power circulates, just like a rushing river, the faster... the stronger the burst.

Li Nian actually understood the reason for this influence - he had recently changed the direction of his practice, started practicing martial arts, and took the initiative to study the construction of other people's states of mind. In the process, his state of mind, Li Nian, had been influenced by those people, either explicitly or implicitly.

Most strong people do not follow the path of "freezing their hearts". They never seek to eliminate all emotions. Instead, after eliminating all distracting thoughts, they repeatedly confirm and strengthen a certain obsession, using it as the mainstay to build their own state of mind.

They are people of faith. The stronger their mind and strength, the firmer and purer their faith tends to be.

This is normal. Human beings act based on emotions. Whatever they do, they are motivated by various reasons. Motivations come from desires, and desires come from emotions. Emotions are used to build a state of mind, which further drives actions. In this way, all actions are from the heart, and there is a sense of neatness and refreshment.

Li Nian thinks this is right.

The purpose of practice is to become stronger - and the purpose of becoming stronger is to have the means to put your ideas into practice.

There is indeed an idea that one should suppress human emotions in order to better conform to the laws of nature and facilitate spiritual practice. This idea is not empty talk. The "Bing Xin" mind method is an extreme manifestation of this idea.

When you put aside all emotions and empty your mind, you will be able to communicate better with the spiritual power around you, just like letting your body become a part of the world. The spiritual power will flow and be refined more easily within the body and even outside the body.

Li Nian, who has been practicing "Bing Xin" as his main mental method and has been fighting till now, is a real beneficiary.

Li Nian can clearly see his future path, which is a road that leads to heaven. The ultimate goal of this road is to pursue the idea that the heart of heaven is my heart. When Li Nian's "Ice Heart" is perfected, he will be able to naturally control the world around him without any deliberate effort.

That piece of heaven and earth will be covered with snow and ice, just like the manifestation of the ice lake in his mind, and he, Li Nian, will become the master of heaven and earth, standing quietly in the middle - like an emotionless ice sculpture.

Come to think of it, it’s really stupid.

Li Nian didn't want to become like that, and felt that it was putting the cart before the horse.

The purpose of "Bing Xin" is too extreme. Extreme mental methods are only suitable for extreme people, but Li Nian is not that extreme, so this extreme mental method is certainly not completely suitable for him.

——But it’s not completely unsuitable for him.

The ultimate goal of cultivating the state of mind is to achieve purity, but who is born pure and without distractions? That is why the mind method appears... The mind method is the method of cultivating the mind. If it is not suitable, it can become suitable through practice.

At the beginning, Li Nian was probably only suitable for three points.

Who doesn't have a cold side? Can't suppress the fluctuations of their emotions and make their thinking rational? If necessary, people must learn to transform themselves into an emotionless killer and slaughter their enemies.

In order to fight, one needs to keep the mind clear, and for this one needs to get rid of distracting thoughts. For a newcomer, the simplest and most direct way to achieve this goal is to clear away all the emotions in one's mind. Li Nian saw the benefit of "Bing Xin" and used it as his fundamental method to practice and fight all the time.

By now, he has achieved 70% compatibility with the mental method.

The state of mind will change, and the mental method is the shaping of the state of mind. Habits become second nature, both good and bad. Li Nian has been practicing the "Ice Heart" mental method so far, and the ice lake in his heart has long been built and is deeply rooted.

But I can’t go on any longer—no, Li Nian doesn’t want to go on any longer.

Bing Xin made him rational, but on the other hand, she also made him feel the loss of his emotions, and he became cold and indifferent - he hated it.

The reason why fog appeared above the lake of her heart was that Li Nian herself was resisting to move forward.

Then can I just let my mood remain stagnant?

It wouldn't be that tragic.

What happened today gave Li Nian some inspiration.

He longed for fighting, because he wanted to become strong, and needed fighting to hone his skills. He was excited about the appearance of his opponent, and felt that he could use his full strength to his advantage and have a good fight.

Why suppress such a harmless desire?

Don't suppress it, just let it go.

Don't deny it, just acknowledge it.

When you really "let go", good changes will occur.

So, you can try to make changes for this reason.

Li Nian did what she thought and closed her eyes.

……

……

When he "opened his eyes" again, he was already standing on the icy lake in his heart.

The fog spread all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. There was no way to see the boundary.

But when Li Nian waved his hand, a strong wind blew over, forcibly dispersing the fog and revealing the full picture of the ice lake. Looking around, it was as flat as a mirror, and there was no visible boundary. There was only a sense of coldness and solemnity in the air.

Li Nian felt extremely bored by this - without realizing it, his mood had turned into such a depressing picture?

This must be modified... He thought so even more when he saw this scenery.

There is no need to continue practicing according to Bing Xin's mental method.

Just do it as you like.

Li Nian has already thought of how to do it.

I didn't plan to do a big project of overthrowing the original building. Since seven points are already suitable, I will keep these seven points and make some changes to the remaining three points - just add something to this monotonous scenery.

What to add?

Bing Xin is the pinnacle of rationality, but in this endless icy lake, it is not acceptable to only reflect rationality.

Because the existence of rationality must be to implement sensibility.
