Chapter 82 Mood
"I will win this battle!"

Although Hong began to lose the upper hand, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, because he knew that Li Dong's physical strength was too severe before. Even now that he had grown up and possessed extremely strong strength, he began to suppress him with his strange insight. But Hong was confident that he could still win, because he still had a little physical strength, while Li Dong had already exhausted it.

Physical strength is also one of the factors that determine combat, which is why Li Dong has been constantly honing his qualities, tempering his willpower, and strengthening his physical strength since he was a child.

In a contest between masters of the same level, whoever has more physical strength has a better chance of becoming the final winner.

After all, the factors that determine victory or defeat are comprehensive. Being strong in one aspect can never be called truly strong. Only being strong in all aspects can be considered a true strong person.

At this moment, Li Dong secretly felt uneasy. His physical strength had indeed reached its limit. If nothing unexpected happened, the winner of this battle would most likely be Hong.

Although Li Dong has lost before, those losses were so huge that he had no chance of winning at all. And ever since he became a warrior and began to make rapid progress, Li Dong has never experienced the feeling of losing.

Moreover, he was beginning to gain the upper hand and there was a possibility of losing. Li Dong would not accept this no matter what.

Therefore, although Li Dong had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, he soon calmed down. It was too late to talk about victory or defeat until the last moment, until he completely lost his strength and was powerless!
At that moment, Li Dong dispelled all the negative emotions in his heart and stopped thinking about other things. He now had only one thought in his mind, which was to give it his all and be willing to do it regardless of winning or losing.

"war!"

Li Dong kept drinking, strengthening his physical momentum, and constantly mobilizing his body's strength, intending to squeeze out more potential from his body's cells so that he could hold on longer.

Hong slowly began to defend comprehensively.

Offense always consumes more energy than defense. Admittedly, this style of play is a bit rogue and does not match his demeanor as the world's number one player. However, Hong is not a pedantic person. This is the first time he has competed with his third brother. If he loses, he will lose face.

Therefore, even if it was a bit shameless, Hong didn't care since he had a great chance of winning this battle.

A warrior is not a fool. A warrior is one who can judge the situation and know how to advance and retreat. He is not like those foolish warriors in ancient times who could not read or write.

Therefore, Hong now immediately used the safest method. As long as he won at this moment, it wouldn't matter even if he lost to Li Dong in the future.

After all, Li Dong's talent is so great that even Hong feels inferior to him. It is only a matter of time before he is surpassed by Li Dong. Hong has long been able to accept this.

But in the first battle, Hong absolutely does not want to lose!
"Brother is such a scoundrel!"

Li Dong said jokingly. Hong adjusted the rhythm, focusing on defense and attacking from time to time, which put pressure on Li Dong. Li Dong also felt his scalp tingling.

To be honest, there is really no solution to this kind of cheating approach. Under Hong's comprehensive defense, even if Li Dong has the ability to perceive weaknesses, he cannot use it easily. In this way, he has almost no chance of winning.

After all, he had consumed too much physical energy and could no longer compete with Hong. This was Li Dong's biggest disadvantage now.

Of course, in terms of actual combat power, Li Dong is on par with Hong, but one of the important reasons why he can gain the upper hand is because of his ability to see through Hong's weaknesses.

"So, fighting can be done this way!" Seeing Hong using such 'despicable' means, Thor's mouth almost dropped, muttering to himself. He had no idea that Hong would take the initiative to defend in order to win.

Where is the pride of a warrior, where is the dignity of a warrior, where is the passion of a warrior!
Liars, all of them are liars!

At this moment, Thor's heart was sour, and the baby was feeling miserable!

Just when Lei Shen felt that his worldview was destroyed and he began to doubt his life, Li Dong also became a little restless.

"Calm down, you must calm down. The most important thing now is for me to become stronger, truly stronger than my brother, so that there is a chance of winning. If I become impatient now, then there is no chance of winning at all!"

Faced with such a difficult situation, Li Dong quickly adjusted his mentality.

The experiences accumulated through hard work during his youth are indeed the most precious wealth in Li Dong’s life. This is also the reason why Li Dong attaches great importance to his youth.

This is an important stage for shaping the foundation of life and basic qualities of life, and this stage affects the rest of your life.

Once a person's personality is established during adolescence, it is difficult to change it later.

In this world, Li Dong has lived a second life and experienced several changes in his mood. Because of the accumulation of things from scratch, his character traits are no longer comparable to the otaku in his previous life.

The waves wash away the sand, the fire refines the true gold, and the precious youth has become the most important wealth in Li Dong's heart.

Nine years of hard work and accumulation allowed him to quickly stabilize his state of mind at this time.

When he saw that Li Dong was neither sad nor happy again and exuded an inexplicable sense of familiarity, a gleam of light flashed in Hong's eyes, because he seemed to see himself in the period of great nirvana.

That stage was also the time when Hong felt the biggest changes in himself. Natural disasters and man-made tragedies occurred, monsters were rampant, and the vast land was in ruins.

The entire human race is hovering on the brink of life and death, but he, a killer living in the darkness, is going against the trend, sensing the light in the darkness, and also bringing light to the human beings in the darkness!
It was also during this stage that Hong successfully raised his state of mind to the level of ancient sages.

And now Li Dong exudes such an aura. He knows that Li Dong's state of mind should have entered the second level of the state of mind.

This made Hong feel relieved, because in this way, he didn't have to worry about Li Dong's character at all. People with such a state of mind could at least be called "Zi" in ancient times, and were only one step away from becoming a true sage!
What is a "Zi"? It refers to the figures of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when there were brilliant thoughts, and the various schools of thought, such as Xunzi, Mozi, Han Feizi, etc. These are the "Zi"-level figures.

Such existence is only one step away from the true sages, such as Confucius and Laozi, who integrated the blood culture of Chinese civilization. In fact, they are in the same position in terms of realm and are both people who can create their own schools, but they just go far and near on the road.

This shows how extreme Li Dong's state of mind is now, and is also the reason why Hong no longer has any doubts about Li Dong.

For those who can reach this step, now that their path has been laid, there is no reason to regret!
