Chapter 14: How to Defeat Yourself

Mo Yu looked at Bei Jinyi with a slight headache.

He really wanted to get into the battle as soon as possible, but the opponent obviously had no intention of doing so.

If Mo Yu hadn't lost his mind due to the fierce battle, he would have wanted to tell him to change someone else if he didn't want to fight.

Bei Jinyi was also having a headache at the moment. She came on the field to rescue Ding Minjun, but Ding Minjun was killed instantly by Mo Yu's sword. She was slightly inferior to Ding Minjun in strength, so she had no chance of winning.

Originally, Bei Jinyi wanted to remind Mo Yu not to be too harsh, and then just fight with Mo Yu as a formality.

But Mo Yu was unmoved and even had some ill will towards her. It was obvious that she would be severely beaten once the fight started (sad).

Suddenly, Bei Jinyi changed her mind.

A brilliant idea came into her mind.

She looked at Mo Yu and saw a smile suddenly appear on his face, his eyes curved and very cute.

Mo Yu shuddered inexplicably at her smile.

"Junior Brother Mo Yu," Bei Jinyi bowed to Mo Yu and asked with a smile, "If our positions were reversed, how would you surpass yourself?"

Bei Jinyi is a person who is more inclined towards diplomacy. Even though he has certain talents in combat, he is only at the same level as Ding Minjun.

She really couldn't think of how to fight Mo Yu, but she could ask Mo Yu to help her think.

Use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son!

Mo Yu was stunned into silence.

He had never thought about this question before, and he couldn't help but stand there in a daze, lost in thought.

Bei Jinyi looked at Mo Yu's embarrassed expression, and her mood immediately improved a lot and she smiled even more happily.

She had completely given up thinking, knowing that with her own combat wisdom, any strategy she came up with would most likely result in Mo Yu beating her badly.

But if I let Mo Yu give me the strategy myself and she plays according to it, you, Mo Yu, can't let me lose so badly, right?
By then, even if Bei Jinyi loses, she can still say that it was a problem with Mo Yu's strategy.

If she is lucky enough to play well, her performance will definitely be eye-catching in the eyes of everyone.

For a moment, the onlookers also became excited.

How will Mo Yu deal with me?

Mo Yu's fighting talent is truly terrifying. Not only are his moves ever-changing, but his fighting style is also unpredictable. Often, a series of attacks as fast as wind and as fierce as fire can suddenly determine the victory.

Among the younger generation of disciples from both factions, I’m afraid there isn’t even one who dares to say that he can definitely defeat Mo Yu.

If Mo Yu really generously shared some of the secrets, everyone present would definitely benefit from it. Even the seemingly indifferent Wudang senior brother Song Qingshu couldn't help but prick up his ears.

The older generation of masters from both factions also focused their attention.

They didn't care about Mo Yu's combat experience, but whether Mo Yu had enough courage and boldness to tell everyone how to defeat himself, and whether he had the broad mind to pass on his understanding of martial arts to others without reservation?

What choice will Mo Yu make?
He was not actually entangled in these trivial matters at the moment. Mo Yu had absolute confidence, even if he made his weaknesses public, even if he told his opponent all the cards in his hand.

The final winner must be him!
Knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.

And when Mo Yu summarized his shortcomings, with his fighting talent, how could his shortcomings still be shortcomings? Mo Yu pondered and thought hard, but he had encountered a problem, a problem that even with his fighting talent, he could not solve - how to defeat himself?

After pondering for a long while, Mo Yu finally spoke.

"As the Art of War says: 'First make yourself invincible, then wait for the enemy to be defeated. The invincibility lies within yourself, the defeat lies within the enemy.' This statement perfectly summarizes my core understanding of combat."

"In battle, the first thing to do is to ensure that you will not be defeated by your opponent, and then wait for the enemy to give you an opportunity to defeat him. All I can do is to ensure that I do not reveal any flaws that would give my opponent a chance to defeat me, but I cannot predict when or what kind of flaws my opponent will reveal. Therefore, the winner lies in me, and the loser lies in the enemy."

Listening to Mo Yu's story, the disciples who were watching fell into deep thought.

For young people of this age, most of them stay away from reading. They are already outstanding if they can finish the homework assigned by their elders seriously, not to mention taking the initiative to study other classics.

What's more, military tactics are definitely a rare resource in this era.

A volume of Wu Mu's testament runs through almost all of the trilogy: The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

The secret of the Dragon Slaying Sword's command to the world that no one dares to disobey is that after understanding the military strategy in Wu Mu's testament, everyone will naturally be convinced.

If you have to choose between the famous general Yue Fei and the martial arts master Zhou Tong to follow to the battlefield, anyone with a common sense would choose Yue Fei instead of Zhou Tong.

"The key to ensuring you don't reveal any flaws lies in finding your own unique combat rhythm. Knowing clearly the purpose of each move and form, you won't be lost. If I suddenly strike you with a sword, all you have to do is dodge or block it. Use whatever moves are most convenient. Don't be bound by the moves in the manual. Remember, the moves in the manual are dead, but the person is alive."

"There's no set of moves in this world that can guarantee defeating me, especially the moves I developed myself. When I figure out a way to defeat me and tell you, I've already figured out a way to break it in my head. So I can't tell you how to defeat me. I can only tell you how I fight."

Mo Yu said as he backhandedly stuck the sword and its sheath into the ground. He extended a hand towards Bei Jinyi and continued, "However, martial arts in the world are nothing more than the strong attacking the weak and the fast beating the slow. Senior Sister, you can use a little internal energy in the battle and use your strength to bully the weak. You will have a chance to defeat me."

Ding Minjun, who was hiding in a dark corner, was still immersed in Mo Yu's insights on applying military tactics to combat. When she heard these words, she was completely dumbfounded.

No, I can use my inner strength to fight you? Why didn't you say so earlier?

In the martial arts world, those who can develop internal strength can be called third-rate fighters, while those who cannot develop internal strength are generally called inferior.

Using internal energy to attack someone without it, isn't that just like attacking an idiot?!
Bei Jinyi didn't expect that Mo Yu would give up such a big advantage. This was much more difficult than giving up both hands.

She asked tentatively, "Junior Brother Mo Yu, are you serious?"

"Of course, but please control it, Senior Sister. Don't use it too much."

Mo Yu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

If it was Ding Minjun, Mo Yu would never have given in like this.

Because internal strength is difficult to quantify, Ding Minjun would definitely "accidentally" use too much force to win and slap Mo Yu to death.

But Bei Jinyi doesn't have that kind of desire to win, and her influence on the sect outweighs her pursuit of victory or defeat.

Even if she used her internal force on Bei Jinyi, she would be very careful not to let Mo Yu lose too badly. What Bei Jinyi thought about most was how to make both sides step down.

And facing such a person, Mo Yu made such a bold attempt to commit suicide.

He wants to challenge the limits of his talent!

Although bullying the weak is good for physical and mental health, only by challenging the strong can you discover your own shortcomings, and only by making up for your shortcomings can you become stronger and go further.
