Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

No matter which one it was, Tong Lie knew that he was incomparable.

After all, he has no so-called special secrets, and he is definitely not the so-called son of destiny.

Think about it again, what kind of people in the long history can be called the sons of destiny?

The larger ones are like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Buddha, Taoism, and the Heavenly Demons; the smaller ones are also mythical legends that have dominated the world and are invincible in every era.

Another characteristic of such people is that anything special seems so common to them.

Breaking through in battle is like drinking water and eating. When encountering dangers in daily life, you will always be able to turn danger into safety.

Of course, there are also some unlucky people, but such people often make the right choices and get the right feedback at important points in their lives.

Thinking of this, Tong Lie felt a little cold in his heart. If he really accepted this battle and lost to Meng Zhao, his whole life would be given to Meng Zhao, and he would be his slave from then on, and would never be able to turn things around.

Of course, you can also regret it, but what happens after you regret it?

Can you overcome the hurdle in your heart?

If both parties in this duel are truly powerful grandmasters and both agree to this type of betting, then there must be means to restrain each other, such as the Great Oath of the Heart Demon or the Great Oath of the Heavenly Demon.

It is said that the more powerful one is, the more one can touch the mysterious side of heaven and earth. This oath is also a kind of Dao fruit. Using the divine essence of a grandmaster to pry this oath Dao fruit will inevitably be bound by the oath Dao fruit. Those who violate the oath will suffer huge backlash and pay a huge price.

Therefore, the road ahead of Tong Lie is also very simple.

Either respond to Meng Zhao, confirm this battle, and prepare for the worst. If you win, you will get everything, and if you lose, you will lose everything, including your freedom and soul.

Or, avoid this madman Meng Zhao and choose to challenge another strong man. Maybe he won't be as popular as Meng Zhao, and won't be able to cause as much uproar, but correspondingly, the risk will be much smaller.

There is a price to pay as well. Perhaps Tong Lie will be seen by these northern martial artists as a bully.

But if you think about it carefully, such an evaluation is difficult for a human being to accept and tolerate.

But for a barbarian like Tong Lie who came from the polar iceberg, it was nothing.

He never thought that the human race would accept him. On the contrary, the relationship between the two sides was hostile and irreconcilable.

In this case, no matter how much disdain the warriors in the North or even the human race have for him, what can they do?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that avoiding Meng Zhao is the best option, which is also what Fatty Xia meant just now.

However, Tong Lie thought again, if he really did this, would he only lose his so-called reputation among the human race?

No, no, absolutely not.

He also lost what he was most proud of, the most conceited, the most pure, and the thing he relied on the most: a brave and fearless heart.

Once he loses this brave and fearless heart, his future will inevitably come to an end.

It would be difficult for him to make any progress in his martial arts. How could a walking corpse without a heart, without a soul, and with only a body as an empty shell, entrust his original spirit to the way of heaven, and cultivate himself into a celestial being, or even obtain the fruit of the way and become a god or demon?

In other words, his avoidance of Meng Zhao today meant that he had given up all possibilities for future progress in martial arts and would remain in this moment forever.

Even if his spiritual heart really collapsed, it would be unknown whether he could maintain his current level of cultivation.

This is by no means Tong Lie exaggerating or scaring himself.

When they reach this level, what they practice is actually just the mind and the spirit.

The physical body and true qi are merely tools to carry the soul.

Cultivation has always been a process of tempering and gaining.

When you are weak, you can sharpen your body and sharpen your Qi, but there is a limit to what you can do. When you are strong, you can sharpen your mind and use it to reach a higher level of power.

There is another interesting statement.

Is a person's body more important or his soul?

When a person's body survives but is inhabited by the soul of another person, who is he?

From the perspective of self-awareness, the soul is ultimately the main thing.

For example, Meng Zhao is a typical example of a person who was possessed by another body from outer space. From the beginning to the end, he never considered himself to be a beggar boy on the street, but a protagonist of the era who traveled here from the Blue Star and possessed a golden finger, destined to create a storm.

Therefore, what the mind says is never false.

If Tong Lie goes against his own heart, he will suffer unbearable backlash.

This is just a personal martial arts issue.

If you think about it carefully, if he escapes, isn't he also giving up a rare opportunity to suppress the human race, the barbarians, and the rise of all races?

Who is Meng Zhao?

The top geniuses of the Shenzhou human race, the twin peaks of the world, represent the top martial arts level of the Shenzhou human race in the future, and occupy an important position and influence.

Defeating him, crushing him, and plundering everything from him would be equivalent to dealing a heavy blow to the human race's military fortunes. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

On the contrary, Tong Lie took the initiative to issue a declaration of war and then actively avoided the fight, which would only bring Meng Zhao personal glory, but would cause him and the barbarians he represented to decline.

Thinking of this, Tong Lie had almost no choice. From the moment he handed over the letter of challenge, there was no room for maneuver in this battle.

Either Meng Zhao avoids the fight, or the two of them duel.

Seeing Tong Lie's expression, hesitant, hesitant, and finally determined.

Fatty Xia also felt a chill in his heart and said irritably,

"You, you still want to fight Meng Zhao, you, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Tong Lie nodded.

"I am afraid, but I am more afraid of losing the courage to face it. Without a fearless heart, I would rather die than live."

Well, Fatty Xia couldn’t understand Tong Lie’s belief, nor did he understand how important this fearless heart of a brave man was to Tong Lie.

"Have you ever thought about what to do with the task assigned by the adults?"

“Don’t worry, even if I lose, I will only work under Meng Zhao. As long as I find out the truth, I will still help you complete the task.

I'm sure Meng Zhao wouldn't really treat a great master like me as a random person to use at will."

Fatty Xia was speechless. Having thought of all this, what else could he say?

But then he thought again, since he couldn't change Tong Lie's decision, he might as well help Tong Lie increase his chances of winning.

"In that case, I have a way that may help you go one step further and improve your strength. I wonder if you have the courage to give it a try."

Fatty Xia's words made Tong Lie feel a little strange.

"Are you serious?

My cultivation is not an ordinary innate one, nor a master, but a great master. Can you help me improve my strength?"

It's no wonder Tong Lie was suspicious. Fatty Xia was a rookie himself. If he could improve his strength, why didn't he do it? (End of this chapter)
