Chapter 164: You must use wisdom and patience to find the opponent's flaws
"Oh? Really?" The other party chuckled. "Do you think you can complete Zheng Yaoxian's unfinished mission? He's already failed. How much better can you be than him?"
"He didn't fail." Su Ming retorted without hesitation, "He just left the last chance to me."
The man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "Chance? Do you think you still have a chance of getting out of here alive?"
"That depends on whether you have the ability." Su Ming slowly raised the weapon in his hand and assumed a fighting stance.
The other man smiled, a smile thick with sarcasm and confidence. "You can't do anything here. Every inch of this room is under my control. You can't defeat me at all."
"Then give it a try." A cold light flashed in Su Ming's eyes, and then he launched an attack without hesitation.
Wisdom, courage, and the line between life and death
This battle was undoubtedly one of the most difficult duels in Su Ming's life. His opponent was not only incredibly powerful, but also possessed vast combat experience, able to predict almost every one of Su Ming's moves. Every attack from Su Ming was easily neutralized, while his counterattacks were like a torrential downpour, leaving Su Ming practically helpless.
"You think you can fulfill Zheng Yaoxian's legacy?" The other party continued to challenge Su Ming's will while attacking. "You will never be able to defeat me. This is my territory. I set a trap for you!"
Su Ming did not respond. He had only one thought in his mind: he must not fail.
The night was dark, the stars dim. Su Ming stood alone on a desolate landscape, surrounded by a stillness that felt as if the world had stopped. The air was thick with the scent of blood, a testament to the countless lives lost. His eyes were empty and cold, as if devoid of all life. In that moment, Su Ming finally understood the hopelessness of his situation: the past was gone, and he could never return to the past.
Inner Struggle
In the past, Su Ming was a resolute warrior, his faith steadfast and his goals clear. But now, his heart was consumed by endless confusion and pain. All his former beliefs seemed to have been shattered in that final battle. It was a duel in which he exerted all his might, nearly risking his life, but even after his victory, the emptiness and confusion within him were inescapable.
"What do I have left?" Su Ming whispered in his heart. Every word was like a sharp blade, deeply piercing his already broken heart. Everything he had once fought for now seemed so distant, so untouchable. He thought of Zheng Yaoxian's face, those eyes filled with wisdom and determination, as if still gazing at him, yet with a touch of compassion.
"Master, have I disappointed you?" Su Ming closed his eyes in agony. He knew that even if he completed his mission, his soul would still be entangled in deep trauma. That emptiness and loss made it impossible for him to find the motivation to move forward.
Yet, within this endless darkness, a faint glimmer of light began to emerge, a faith still lingering within him. Su Ming knew he couldn't give up. Even if the road ahead was difficult, he had to find a new direction, a meaning that would allow him to continue to exist.
New awakening
After countless sleepless nights, Su Ming finally made up his mind. He understood that his past self was dead, and now standing here was a completely new Su Ming. One who once lived for a mission, but now had to fight for himself.
"Nirvana, rebirth..." Su Ming murmured the words softly. He knew that only by letting go of the past and redefining his own existence could he truly escape this endless confusion.
His gaze gradually grew firmer, and the sense of loss and confusion within him gradually faded. Su Ming began to examine his past, reviewing every decision and choice he had made. While those failures and pain had tormented him, they had also made him grow, becoming more resilient and clear-headed.
"Perhaps I should start over," Su Ming thought. His past mission had been accomplished, Zheng Yaoxian's legacy carried on, and now he had to find a completely new path. This path wasn't for others, but for himself, for continued survival, for the healing of his torn heart.
Return to the battlefield
Su Ming decided to return to the battlefield with a new identity. This time, he was no longer the warrior who once lived for his mission, but a man fighting for self-redemption. He knew that the past could not be changed, but he could still make up for those regrets through action and find the meaning of his existence through a new mission.
For this new identity, Su Ming decided to completely erase all traces of his past. He cut his long hair and donned a brand new outfit. With each falling strand of hair, the marks of the past faded, replaced by a calmer, more fearless warrior. Every movement he made was filled with determination and power, as if he were starting over.
"Su Ming is dead." He said to himself in his heart, "Now, I am a brand new existence."
The starting point of a new mission
Su Ming soon received a brand new mission. This one was significantly different from his previous experiences. No longer a direct confrontation, it was a more complex game. The enemy was lurking in the shadows, unfathomable, and he must use wisdom and patience to find their weaknesses and complete this nearly impossible task.
The moment he received the mission, Su Ming felt a surge of excitement he hadn't felt in a long time. He understood that this mission wasn't just for the organization, but for himself as well. Completing it would be the first step in his rebirth, the beginning of his redefinition of his existence.
"I want to prove to myself that I can still do it." Su Ming said firmly in his heart.
Initial contact
Su Ming began researching the mission. He discovered that it was not only complex but also involved many areas he had never encountered before. The enemy's organizational structure was extremely complex, with layers of connections that made it almost impossible for him to begin.
Yet, Su Ming felt no fear. Instead, he saw this as a test of his new identity and a chance to prove his worth anew. He meticulously analyzed every clue, paying attention to every detail. Su Ming knew this mission required not only courage, but also a calm mind and a well-thought-out plan.
After several days of investigation, Su Ming finally found his first important clue—the movements of the enemy's core members. Although this clue was obscure, it was enough for him to grasp the enemy's weakness and gradually approach the enemy's core.
