Demon Lord 3

Although the opponent's short blade wasn't particularly strong, the force it delivered was still effective. Even a very sharp or sturdy dagger wouldn't have been enough to kill him. Such a thing couldn't happen on the field. Even though we'd signed a life and death agreement, we couldn't allow for wanton killing. There was only one possibility: the opponent wasn't interested in killing us, but rather in causing us to lose face. Reputation isn't particularly important, but for people like us, with all the fame and wealth we possess, shouldn't we prioritize it? I nodded. Indeed, I agree. For us, reputation is paramount. If we went out now and someone denied us face, we'd undoubtedly be furious. But what would our initial reaction be? Would we be furious? I smiled and shook my head. Of course not. Was this the change we'd undergone? Was it a good change or a bad one? If I think about it, it's certainly bad. This kind of thing can quickly lead us down, swiftly leading us to the abyss. It's a bad symbol. So, what are we doing this for? I asked carefully, but I didn't get any results. I patted my head, feeling like I really couldn't ask anything more. It really felt like I was trapped here, unable to extricate myself. If I truly wanted to escape, there was only one way: I had to break through the adversity here. To grow in adversity, I had to break through the adversity. The strong never complain about their circumstances, but I didn't just want to not complain about the environment; I wanted to change it and become the strongest of the strong. Wu Luansen did say something very flattering: "Do you think it's possible that the strong don't complain about their circumstances, while we are the weak? We not only complain about the environment, but we also complain about the strong, always thinking that we can be strong in these small things, but when faced with a truly strong person, what do you choose? What else can you do besides retreat?" Yes, what else can we do besides retreat? I could only sigh silently, but I shook my head and said, "This is not what I want to do, nor is it what I have been thinking about. The strong person I think of is not others, but myself in my heart. If I can defeat myself, then I can rise one step further, but if I can't even defeat myself, then we can only keep retreating. Our ultimate goal is to defeat this and gain a new self. Only by defeating the previous self can we become stronger, instead of retreating here and doing nothing." Wu Luansen sneered lightly and said, "Let me put it this way, among so many people, I should be the one who has witnessed you the longest. I have experienced a lot of things with you since we were born. I know everything that others don't know, and I know more than others know. Let's put it this way, you were still young at that time, and you didn't know many strong people, and the world you knew was not big, so you have been growing up in a relatively closed environment. It was also from that time that I accompanied you step by step on the road of solid work. "I came here, but now don't you think we're all getting carried away? If we claim to be strong, constantly feeding ourselves these inspirational quotes, we might unleash great potential in some areas, but what will be the end result? Strength is strength, and luck is part of it, but self-deception isn't. We don't deceive ourselves, we simply find our place in these things, live well, and exist well. We don't know where we're going next, or what we need to understand specifically, but we ultimately know we can't lose. How can we win?" Wu Luansen's words completely woke me up. It's true that we can't get carried away now, right? The growth of our abilities has made us unstoppable. We've achieved everything a normal person could think of, but ultimately, what we do depends on ourselves. I thought to myself, this is a bit too much, but are we really weak? Aren't we strong? Is this just a deception? All these things are still in my mind. Mu Chen won after only half an hour. How did he defeat his opponent?
