For the next few days, Xiao Bing continued to practice on the volcano. Every night when he came back, he slept at the same place. His dinner was grilled fish caught in the river. Every time, Watanabe Sugawa would come over and leave after eating.
Xiao Bing never asked why Watanabe Sugawa came here every day, and he was not interested in asking.
On the tenth night of Xiao Bing's practice here, Watanabe Sugawa came again. He always walked slowly, and then stared at Xiao Bing's grilled fish like a hungry tiger seeing meat, like a hungry ghost who had not eaten for several lives.
Of course, Xiao Bing also thought that the grilled fish he made was better. Whether it was when he was in the Dragon Teeth or later when he was in the Dragon Gate, Xiao Bing often had to go out to perform tasks. He often had to survive in the wild, while the uncouth men around him all made simple food. They didn't care about the taste at all. When Xiao Bing was in the Dragon Teeth and the Dragon Gate, only Su Peiya was really good at cooking. Xiao Bing learned from Su Peiya whether it was noodles or grilled fish.
He still remembered that when he ate Su Peiya's grilled fish for the first time, Xiao Bing and the others almost drooled. The others basically only ate and did not learn. The most important thing was that Su Peiya did not teach them, and Su Peiya only taught Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing never dreamed that after he learned Su Peiya's cooking skills, Su Peiya was gone.
"Here, this fish is for you." Xiao Bing handed one of the grilled fish to Watanabe Sugawa.
Watanabe Sugawa sat down next to Xiao Bing. He first took a deep breath, and then exclaimed, "Such delicious grilled fish. If I can't eat it in the future, I really don't know what else I can eat in the future."
Xiao Bing said, "Then you have to be careful. You really can't eat it in the future. I won't stay here for too long. I will go back in ten days at most."
It had been about 10 days since Xiao Bing arrived here. Plus the few days he had spent in Jingdu, half a month had passed since the agreed time of the contest. Xiao Bing's strength was improving very fast. The Genuine Qi in his body was getting more and more abundant. The vigorous Genuine Qi was even purer and more lethal than that of ordinary people.
If he were to challenge an expert of the same level, Xiao Bing was confident that he could defeat an expert of the same level with the strength of his mental strength, the toughness of his body, and the raging Genuine Qi in his body. Even an expert at the Peak of the Middle-stage of the Heavenly Master would have to turn around and run when he encountered him.
But Xiao Bing's opponent this time was more than that. The opponent's strength should have reached the peak of the Heavenly Master, and it was very likely that he had reached or was close to the peak of the Heavenly Master Completion. He was definitely stronger than Xiao Bing by more than one level. Xiao Bing was still far from this level.
Seeing that Xiao Bing was lost in thought, Watanabe Zuochuan put down the grilled fish in his hand and asked, "Why are you so eager to become stronger?"
"To survive." Xiao Bing smiled and said, "It's going to be a life-and-death duel soon, so I need to survive."
"Oh, it's really important to stay alive." Watanabe smiled and said, "Only by staying alive can you eat such delicious food."
"Mr. Watanabe is right, sir. But I'm not only trying to stay alive, I'm also trying to protect my family. To put it more broadly, I'm trying to protect a country."
"Then you're amazing. You've made an old man like me admire you." Watanabe Zuochuan said, "Oh, by the way, I remember you said that you were a soldier before."
"Yes."
"Soldiers do have the determination to protect their home. I agree with this. Country comes first, and then family. I thought that young people nowadays don't know this sentence. I didn't expect that the first person I met when I returned to my country would be a young man with a sense of family and country. It's really rare. It's a pity that you're a Cathaysian. It would be great if you were a Country R. "
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "To be honest, the country I hate the most is Country R. But I don't hate the people of your country. I just hate some of your politicians."
"Well, I can understand. Just like what you asked me when we first met, I know that you're a patriot. It's very rare." Watanabe Zuochuan praised Xiao Bing and began to eat the grilled fish again.
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Old man, what do you do? Well, at your age, you should have retired long ago. What did you do before? Why do you have time to come here every day? Do you live nearby? "
"Haha, you finally asked about this." Watanabe Zuochuan finished the grilled fish and wiped his mouth. He said with a smile, "In fact, I might not tell you even if you asked. But I can tell you my own story. When I was young, I was the same as you, pursuing to become stronger. You are now forged with copper skin and iron bones. Others can punch out 25kg with one punch, but you want to punch out 100kg to surpass others. That way, you will be stronger than others. Now the opponents you meet may punch 100 kilograms, which is twice as strong as you. So you use this inhuman way to improve yourself. Am I right? "
Xiao Bing thought for a moment and said, "Basically."
The old man said, "It's like a game of chess. You are like a chess player full of killing intent. That sharpness is unstoppable. Your killing intent is something that not many people in the world can compare to."
The old man smiled and said, "Your willpower has reached the peak of human beings. You're basically destined to become an existence that surpasses everyone sooner or later. Because willpower is the most important thing for chess players or warriors!"
Xiao Bing nodded slightly and waited for Watanabe Zuochuan to say something. He always had a feeling that what Watanabe Zuochuan was about to say would be very helpful to him.
Watanabe Zuochuan's eyes were deep, as if he was recalling many, many years ago, an era that no one knew how long. Then his voice began to sound vicissitudes. Xiao Bing actually felt that the temperament of Watanabe Zuochuan in front of him suddenly changed. From an old man in his sixties or seventies, he became an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life!
In a remote tribe in Japan, the tribe was silent. It was a terrible silence. There were corpses and blood everywhere in the tribe. The blood had gathered into a river. The thick smell of blood made people's scalps tingle.
The population of this tribe was originally about 200 people. Nearly 100 strong men and the rest were women and children. They were also part of the population of Country R. But they rarely came to the big cities, unless they went out to buy necessities. In any country, there would be some relatively primitive tribes like this. The country would not restrict them, but they would try their best to take care of them and respect their customs and life.
But today, this tribe had become a hell on earth. There was no such bloody hell in the world.
More than 200 people were all dead!
Some were beheaded, some were directly cut off at the waist, and some were cruelly dismembered. The expressions of each of the dead were very frightened, as if they had seen the most terrible thing in the world, as if they had seen the devil coming out of hell before they died.
Yes, only the demons of hell could be so cruel as to kill so many people!
Killing one person is a sin, killing ten thousand people is a devil!
At this moment, Xiao Bing was still listening to Watanabe Zuochuan's words. Watanabe Zuochuan's tone was extremely deep, as if people would be deeply immersed in it, directly brought to the era that he had experienced, and everything that he had experienced.
Watanabe Zuochuan's voice was full of vicissitudes. He kept saying, "A good chess player, some people use offense as defense, mainly attack, and the main point is to kill. Some people are good at both offense and defense, maintaining a balance between offense and defense. Anyone who can reach the top in one of these aspects can be regarded as a top chess player. But they can't be regarded as a legend. They can't reach the level of a legendary chess player! "
Xiao Bing asked, "What is a legendary chess player?"
Watanabe Zuochuan said, "A legendary chess player has to think about not every chess piece in the game at any time and anywhere. He has to remember these chess pieces and forget them at the same time."
There was some confusion in Xiao Bing's eyes.
Watanabe Zuochuan smiled and said, "It's normal, because you are already at the level of a top chess player, but there is still a little gap between you and a legendary chess player. It's difficult for you to understand what I said. But what I said to you today is very likely to be of great help to you in the next battle. You have to remember it word by word. As for whether you can understand it or not, it's not something I can know. "
Watanabe Zuochuan smiled and said, "Normally, no one in this world can understand it before they really step into that realm."
Xiao Bing was speechless.
Watanabe Zuochuan laughed and said, "But I believe that you are the only exception in this world, because you can practice on such a high volcano. Even I have lived for so long, I have never seen your perseverance. So maybe you are a person who can create miracles."
Xiao Bing said, "Old man, just say it."
"Okay." Watanabe Zuochuan said, "A true legendary chess player has to memorize these chess pieces and forget about them. This is because a legendary chess player doesn't need to control a random chess piece. What they need to control is the entire game. What appears in their mind at all times should not be where each chess piece should land, but the countless subtle changes that will occur in the game as a result of each chess piece's placement. And mastering all the changes of the game is only the first step. "
Xiao Bing asked, "This is still the first step? What is the second step? "
"The second step is to take advantage of the situation." Watanabe Zuogawa said with a sacred expression, "When you have a clear understanding of the entire chess game, you will be able to observe the momentum of the entire chess game, and then use the momentum of the chess game to your advantage to defeat your opponent!"
"Take advantage of the situation, observe the situation of the game …" Xiao Bing muttered to himself as if he had understood something, but in fact, he did not understand anything. He always felt that there was something that he had not grasped, and it would be of great help to his martial arts realm.
Watanabe Zuochuan slowly stood up and said, "Old man, I have to go. Remember what I just said. Your practice on the volcano will naturally be of great use, and this kind of practice is only possible for you. No one else in the world can do it. However, if you want to defeat someone twice as strong as you, it's still very difficult to do so in a short period of time. If you really want to create a miracle, perhaps what I just said will be of some use to you. "
Xiao Bing stood up and said loudly, "Thank you, Mr. Watanabe."
"Don't stand on ceremony. I'm just a Go player, and you might not be able to understand what I've taught you. I learned this principle after playing Go with a long-time friend in Huaxia for more than ten years, but you only have the next ten days or so. But I still hope that you can create a miracle. After all, there are fewer and fewer young people like you who know how to grill fish … When I have a chance to meet you in the future, I will eat your grilled fish. "
Watanabe Zuochuan walked further and further away. Xiao Bing had been watching Watanabe Zuochuan until his figure completely disappeared. Then Xiao Bing retracted his gaze, and a look of respect appeared in his eyes.
No matter what kind of person Watanabe Zuochuan was, at least he was a person who helped him and deserved respect.
