Chapter 223 Competition
Han Zhou glanced at the two sisters who were smiling at him with their eyes narrowed, and nodded.
The three of them walked forward together for a while without saying a word.
When they reached the alley entrance, there were hardly any people around, so the two sisters asked him what he wanted.
We'd only met twice and weren't familiar with each other at all. Why did he suddenly strike up a conversation, and then immediately say something as nauseating as "I remember you guys"?
Hanzhou gave two of the buns to the monkeys on his shoulder, and they took the buns and began to eat them in small bites.
They look very cute.
However, when the two sisters got closer, they discovered that the two little monkeys actually had marks on their bodies indicating that they had been beaten, and quite a few of them.
It's a monkey that's barely bigger than two palms, and it's been beaten so many times. No wonder it wanted to leave its original owner.
They are indeed clever, having found the most powerful "big brother." As long as Han Zhou is willing to treat them well, they should be able to live out the rest of their lives happily!
He pondered for a moment and said, "I just wanted to ask you guys, do you want to have a spar with me?"
Learning martial arts is a process that requires constant improvement. If you encounter a master that you've finally found, you certainly shouldn't miss the opportunity.
The two sisters looked puzzled, but still politely replied, "No, thank you."
"Why?" Practical experience is one of the best ways to increase strength. When he was at the sect, he improved so quickly precisely because he sparred with his fellow disciples and master every day!
Lin Chunyi replied with a smile, "Because we can't beat them."
If it weren't for saving face for herself, she would have preferred to say that if he were serious, he could completely overwhelm the two of them combined, leaving them utterly helpless.
"To surrender without a fight is not gentlemanly. How do you know you can't win before you've even fought? I remember when you were on the second floor of the Paradise Pavilion, your fighting spirit was still very strong. Why are you unwilling to fight now?"
Han Zhou is not only meticulous, but also a very stubborn person.
"..." According to what his teachers taught him throughout his school years, one should face difficulties head-on. What he said seemed to make a lot of sense.
But if you know you're completely outmatched, why fight? Isn't that just crazy?
Moreover, they are not gentlemen, and they certainly don't need to train themselves to the point of dominating the martial arts world.
Facing difficulties head-on, it refers to difficulties that are not too far from one's own level, not insurmountable obstacles!
If they scored 20 points and compared themselves to those who scored 60, they might have some confidence to try harder; but the current situation is that they only have 10 points, and they're being asked to compare themselves to those who scored 149...
If they go up there and get immediately defeated, what can they learn besides losing a lot of self-confidence? How can they improve at all?
Does it mean learning not to give up even when encountering setbacks, and becoming stronger internally?
Just thinking about that scene made Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan lose all their spirits.
Honestly, since they came into this world, everything they've done has been relatively smooth sailing.
Faced with the possibility of complete failure, they neither wanted to try nor dared to try.
Because they are unsure whether failure will make them more resilient or shatter their confidence, causing them to plummet to rock bottom.
Faced with the unknown, most people are genuinely afraid and instinctively try to escape... Call them cowardly or timid if you will. They simply don't dare to try.
Han Zhou stared at the two sisters for a long time, then thought carefully before adding, "I won't take your money."
"..." How can we make him understand that what they lack is not the ten taels of silver, but the courage to fight him!
Lin Chunyi sighed and asked him, "You're very capable; the gap between us is too vast. Why would you even consider engaging in such a pointless and unproductive endeavor with us?"
The two sisters' serious, puzzled expressions were something Han Zhou had actually seen on the faces of many people he had sparred with.
He said, "Why do you think that you can't learn anything by sparring with people who are weaker than you? The reason why strong people are strong is not because they only learn from people who are stronger than them, but because they do not look down on others, nor are they afraid of others."
Perhaps you consider yourselves weaker than me, but the moves you know, I may not know, nor be able to counter. This has nothing to do with strength or weakness; it's simply that the strong have their own world, and the weak have their own survival methods that only the weak can learn.
If I blindly push forward, only caring about surpassing those stronger than me, I'll never know if one day, perhaps just some kid hanging around in a dilapidated temple, could kill me with a packet of sleeping pills.
Although he was lucky enough to survive,
But he is a martial arts prodigy who appears only once every century, and now he can perform sword dances for people in brothels.
It was indeed all thanks to that little beggar who saved his life, but then turned around and stole all his money and sold him!
Ugh……
He would never again easily believe in the so-called "weakness" of the weak. Even the weak have their weapons, and his current training was about contemplating and learning these weapons of the weak!
The Lin sisters took these words to heart, pondered them repeatedly, and tried to put themselves in each other's shoes.
If they one day become powerful figures themselves, will they only see those stronger than themselves? Will they underestimate those weaker than themselves?
They couldn't give themselves an answer for a moment.
However, someone as skilled in martial arts as Han Zhou would readily seek out those weaker than himself to learn from.
They mustered up the courage to challenge the strong, and even if they were completely defeated, what was so shameful about it?
The first step to becoming strong is to learn to fear, but also to not fear!
The two exchanged a smile, finally casting aside their reluctance to face failure.
Lin Chunyi said to Han Zhou, "You're right! We were thinking too narrowly. Having a master like you as a sparring partner is a win for us!"
Han Zhou smirked, finally managing to convince the two of them. It was no wonder he had learned so many conversation skills at the Paradise Pavilion.
He rarely spoke so much at once before, partly because he wasn't good at talking, and partly because he was too lazy to talk, feeling that no amount of verbal sparring was as effective as taking action.
Han Zhou felt that he had grown a bit more.
Lin Lanshan suddenly tugged at her sister's sleeve, reminding her, "Lightness skill!"
Oh right, right right! There's another big problem here!
Lin Chunyi politely asked first, "Does Young Master Hanzhou have any conditions or requests to make regarding this competition?"
He shook his head, explaining that he had insisted on not accepting money and just wanted a clean, unrestrained fight.
His premonition was strong; whichever of these two people he faced one-on-one was definitely the strongest person he had encountered since leaving the mountain.
No, right? Then she'll have to bring it up...
