in the edge

Chapter 413 Spiral
Regarding the understanding of power, Du Chengfeng had never thought about this problem.

After all, the reason why he pursued power in the first place was very simple, just to avoid being beaten to death. Under this premise, as long as it can make him stronger, he would dare to use it - this kind of pragmatic thinking is indeed Let him get to where he is today step by step, but if he is asked to express his understanding of power...

what is that?
Power is power, and it is something used to hit people. He will delve into the source of power, ponder the essence of power, and also think about how to become stronger and how to control more power - but what is power? What it is, how to describe this thing, he has never thought about it.

"But... isn't this weird?"

After listening to Du Chengfeng's thoughts, the unknown boy finally calmed down.

"How can you become stronger if you don't understand power? You don't even know which direction to train in and what to refer to to become stronger. This kind of thing..."

"Why don't you know?"

Du Chengfeng shook his head decisively.

"Of course I have to train in the direction of beating the enemy to death. The reference point is naturally the opponent. As long as it makes him uncomfortable, then I have done something right. As long as I beat him to death, then of course I have become stronger."

"..."

Du Chengfeng continued, his words full of doubts.

"You can't say that your so-called strength is not for fighting, but for standing there and showing others, right? Is there something wrong with your strength? Just standing there, can you..."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this young man's thinking. Things like strength are sometimes used for viewing - the most obvious example is himself. As his body becomes bigger and bigger, more and more people dare to attack him. The less he is, most people will instinctively become friendly as soon as they see his huge fist.

"Otherwise? If you don't start from the perspective of actual combat, then why are you becoming stronger?"

Du Chengfeng slapped his head.

The boy was speechless for a long time.

But now...

But this method was completely inapplicable to Du Chengfeng. He had tried it before, but he always couldn't understand it.

So in order to solve this problem, the giant developed a way to make his body smaller.

It was as if he and Nanchen Taizu were obviously the same patient, but their symptoms were different. The methods that could cure the other party could not cure him.

can.

He never thought that this seemingly benign and harmless giant would actually say such violent words.

"It turns out I also..."

Du Chengfeng also once wondered whether there was something wrong with the method itself. This thing was only developed by Nanchen Taizu for himself, and he did not think about its universal applicability.

One day in this ordinary life, he suddenly understood the key.

Halfway through his words, Du Chengfeng choked on the spot.

The most outrageous thing is that what this giant said sounds very reasonable.

His huge body would often bring him a lot of trouble, so he had thought about how to solve it - in fact, the solution was always there. After all, he had encountered a similar patient, the founding ancestor of Nanchen. , that unknown giant also encountered the same trouble.

Indeed it can.

Without considering the power itself at all, all the training is just to kill people. To be able to draw such an outrageous conclusion... What did this giant do before?

At this moment, he thought of another thing.

"It turns out that the problem actually lies with me!"

At this moment, Du Chengfeng finally realized the problem.

His need for fighting is because fighting can make him stronger, but he actually doesn't want to fight. If he can avoid fighting, he would prefer to live his life quietly - so, under the guidance of this line of thinking Next, under his subconscious judgment, he unknowingly became what he is now.

That's right, just look at his strong body that is two stories tall. Who would be willing to fight with him except the kind of martial arts madman who has the evil spirit in his head and kills anyone he sees?
Most of the time, people treat him kindly, talk to him kindly, and are willing to try to understand his thinking.

It’s not that people’s moral character and quality suddenly became higher.

It's because his fist is so big.

"This……"

After realizing this, Du Chengfeng suddenly felt a little sad.

And now, he finally understood that he was not completely ignorant of things like power.

Although at a psychological level, he had never thought about this question, his body and his subconscious had already answered it for him.

"My understanding of power..."

After realizing all this, Du Chengfeng finally gave his answer.

“Big is good, that’s my understanding of power.”

"This……"

Hearing this answer, the young man couldn't help but look up and down at the little giant in front of him.

This... sounds like it is indeed the case. At least this little giant is actually practicing this - just look at the huge body that is two stories high and the legs as solid as pillars. The arms that are thicker than an adult's body, and the two fists that are several times larger than a human head, you can feel that big is indeed strong.

"They say strong, powerful, so what is strong? Strong means big!"

The more he talked, the more Du Chengfeng understood about himself. He never expected that he had such thoughts.

"Big is good! More is beautiful! As long as your power is strong enough! What you say makes sense!"

"This……"

The young man was dumbfounded. He never thought that power could be understood in this way.

But this answer made his blood boil.

What is the power of stars and what is the power of flowing water? These are too difficult to understand. They sound too obscure and have nothing to do with power. He can even foresee that if he tries to use these two methods to change... If you are strong, you will either become a nerd who watches the stars and reads books all day long, or you will fall into the water and drown yourself like the King of Turbulent Swordsmen. Of course, the Jingtao Sword King himself is actually quite tough, but if the Jingtai Sword King is so tough, wouldn't he still be beaten away?
The path of the loser, no matter how strong it sounds, but if you think about it carefully, it always feels wrong.

Apart from this, there are indeed other ways, such as being like those people from Songzhou, finding some gods and worshiping them - at least according to those people from Songzhou, this can really make you stronger. But considering the crazy level of those Songzhou people, this kind of thing is still a bit too unreliable after all, and it doesn't look like a serious approach.

Compared with these routes to become stronger, the explanation given by the little giant is so simple and direct.

Big is good, more is beautiful. This statement is so relevant to his thoughts. Considering his young age, it is the time when he wants to become an adult. After all, adults are strong and can do anything - so It is definitely good. This is very intuitive and the most primitive understanding.

As for more, beauty is more. Now that he has nothing, he naturally wants everything. If he can gain a lot, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?
Big is better! More is beauty!
That’s how it should be understood… No! This is the only way to understand it!

"So that's it...I completely understand!"

The young man gripped the heavy iron whip tightly, as if he was holding his own future.

And when the young man raised his head again, there was a bit more gratitude in his eyes - now that he has come into contact with many people in the world, he can naturally understand that this kind of advice is not given to others casually. What's more, this little giant has saved his life before, has been training him recently, and even provided him with good food. He is simply...

Nothing to repay.

He originally wanted to be tougher and say something like those charlatans, saying that there would be generous rewards in the future - but before the idea came out, he choked up.

What can he give in return? This little giant doesn't seem to need his repayment at all. This little giant is much stronger than him. Even if he can become stronger in the future, he may not be able to surpass the other party now - as for repaying with property, it is even less possible. Although he didn't see when the little giant made money, he didn't look like he was short of money at all.

In fact, the most ideal thing is to exchange knowledge. Since the other party has given him some advice, he'd better get a unique secret book, just like the Jingtao Sword King once did. Everyone can communicate with each other and no one will suffer.

But even when it comes to knowledge... it seems impossible for him to find anything useful.

After all, this little giant seems to know everything.

Yes, he has felt this way before. This is not even the crushing of knowledge and experience between adults and teenagers, but that the other party really understands quite a bit in all aspects—— In fact, this can be seen just because the little giant is willing to stay as an apprentice. Even if it is just cooking, the other party must fully understand and understand everything.

This tireless study, this thirst for knowledge, if we look at him who always looked forward to the holidays when he went to school, he might never be able to catch up in his lifetime.

"So...there's nothing you don't understand?"

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but ask.

"How do you know so much, everything?"

"This... just study more."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head. This was the first time he heard someone praise him in this regard.

"But I actually don't know everything...for example, I don't know about something recently."

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

The young man was shocked.

"What's that?"

"It's... not easy to tell you about this."

Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

It was really not easy to tell this child. After all, this matter seemed so dangerous. In fact, if it hadn't been for the incident yesterday, he might not have been able to confirm its existence.

That is, there are actually other masters hiding in this Sanshan Town.

The small river that suddenly appeared at the door may be seen by others as a river changing its course, but with Du Chengfeng's eyesight, it is impossible to see the key point - it looks like traces left by a master's fight. , although he still doesn't know who the master is, but the remaining sword intention is indeed the master's move.

And judging from the direction, the direction of the attack was even this old inn.

Du Chengfeng could even imagine the scene. Under night, a battle broke out outside the inn. The enemy prepared a massive attack just to completely submerge the inn - but the attack failed in the end, and the inn itself was intact. There was no damage, but the invading enemy was beaten and fled.

Today's chat with this young man actually proved this point. He is a swordsman who fights with the "Flowing Water Sword Technique". He is even called the "Jingtao Sword King". This is basically consistent with his judgment. .

So, the problem lies here.

That night, such a big thing happened outside. With his current skills, how could he not know it at all?

"hiss……"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng took a breath of cold air.

At such a close distance, he didn't know at all... Since the person hiding in the dark could quietly deflect the attack, he could also take off his head without knowing it!
"So...who is it?"

Du Chengfeng subconsciously looked at the young man in front of him.

However, the young man's thin arms and legs look a bit different no matter how you look at them. Although the figure is no longer an obstacle after a strong person reaches a certain level, the thin arms and legs are still a bit too weak - not to mention After getting along with him for a period of time, he also had some ideas about this young man. He was just an ordinary young man, there was no other way to put it.

"If it weren't for him, would it be..."

Du Chengfeng subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the master bedroom.

As the owner of the inn and the only manager of this old inn, the old man will naturally have his own residence in the inn - but if there is any problem with Lao Deng, it's not that big of a deal. Just like this young man, he and this old... master have been learning to cook for a while. If the other party really has any problems, he won't feel nothing at all.

"So, who did it?"

Du Chengfeng rarely fell into deep thought.

First of all, he could confirm that it was not him. He got up once that night, yawned and then went back to sleep - but other than him, he really couldn't find anyone who could do such a thing. . Neither these two ordinary people nor the few reformed laborers in the backyard seemed capable of such a thing.

"hiss……"

Looking at the millstone in the backyard, the feeling in Du Chengfeng's heart became more and more obvious.

In his own opinion, he just passed by here as an ordinary person, saw good craftsmanship, wanted to learn something new, stayed here for two days - but now, he suddenly felt that he It was as if he was being rolled into a constantly rotating millstone. The rotating millstone was rolling him in, round, round, and round.

Strong people are attracted to each other for various reasons.

His arrival was definitely no accident.
