Even though over the years, I have already...

Thinking of this, Lausanne II lowered his head and stared at the sewage at his feet with empty eyes.

Why?

"Why?"

Joaquín Cavalier let out a long sigh and said what was on his mind:

"Even if so many years have passed, even if everything has changed a long time ago? Even if you have found more powerful power and are completely different from the past? Even if my swordsmanship concept has been outdated for a long time, my body is getting old, and my ability has not improved.

Not going forward?"

"Why, squire," Joaquin sighed, "am I, as a teacher, still too powerful for you?"

But before he could finish his words, Lausanne II suddenly appeared!

"It's too late," Luosang roared and took the initiative to attack, "Old guy!"

"clang!"

Joaquín blocked Lausanne's attack with one sword, looking so relaxed and happy.

Lausanne II looked at him in disbelief, looking at the sword blade that was blocked and unable to move forward.

"No, of course it's not because I'm strong. As you said, I've long been an old guy..."

Joaquin shook his head slightly and pushed Lausanne away:

"It's not because you are inferior in skills and can't defeat the teacher."

The next second, Lausanne II resumed his offensive, the blade of his sword flickering like a phantom, setting off strong winds and huge waves, heading straight towards Joaquin.

But he was horrified to find that no matter how he changed his moves, looked for flaws, and executed killing moves, he would always be defeated at the critical moment, either blocked or dodged, and return without success.

"But because of me, my dear student and attendant, I will always be the teacher you cannot defeat in training, and I will always be the one who guides you in teaching."

During the fierce fight, Joaquin Knight was still able to speak out. His voice overshadowed the sword strike and penetrated the sword wind, ringing in Lausanne's ears very clearly:

"Because I must be - as a teacher, I must always know a little more than you, from knowledge to experience, from ability to considerations, and to have one more trick to hide."

Luosang became more and more irritated as he listened, but his attack still failed to work.

"Because this thing like 'teacher' cannot be 'defeated' from the moment it is given this label."

Joaquin's voice was slow and unhurried, as if he was telling a story:

"Because the 'teacher' is born to stand in a high position and guide and teach from a high position, but as a student, as a learner, as an imitator, and as a submissive, you are naturally deprived of even the right to challenge and question."

He skillfully and perfectly grasped the slightest flaw in Lausanne's sword power and blocked a killing move:

"This is one of the cornerstones of how the world works: 'teachers' will never and cannot be, let alone be placed in the category of 'opponent' or 'enemy.'"

Joaquin raised his lips:

"So, my students: stay humble before your 'teacher.'"

Lausanne was shocked!

[Be careful, if you are not humble enough and self-reflective, not upright and loyal, not brave and fearless, disdainful of self-sacrifice, dare not resist the strong and help the weak... If you no longer believe in these creeds, let them rot and stink in your heart, and become what you preach.

Something that is admired but scorned in private... Be careful, when something like this happens, often even the knight himself doesn't know...]

The next second, Luosang felt that his sword was empty, and he was unable to exert any force!

"clang!"

He subconsciously returned his sword to defend, narrowly blocking Joaquin's counterattack, and rolled away in embarrassment.

Joaquin didn't pursue him, he just waited for him quietly.

[In the final analysis, my attendant, no matter whether you are a temporary glory or a lifetime of poverty, whether you are invincible in the world or repeatedly defeated, whether you are a person respected by thousands of people or a person who is criticized by thousands of people, when that moment comes, you are the only one, only you.

I know in my heart: Are you worthy of the name of knight?]

No!

Luosang roared in his heart. Kneeling on one knee, he struggled to get up from the ground, causing the surrounding white smoke to disperse.

"I've already surpassed you, old guy!"

Lausanne II spoke coldly, full of murderous intent:

"Question, challenge, and surpass, just like you teach - your students surpass you."

But Joaquín smiled.

"Do you really believe this nonsense?"

Joaquin Knight tsked and shook his head, his eyes gleaming:

"The fact is, attendant, you have never and cannot take the initiative to surpass me, but I am the one who 'allowed' you to surpass me."

Luosang's expression changed.

What?

Joaquin made a sword flower very quickly, as skillfully and skillfully as before.

"Yes, 'teacher', especially the qualification of 'teacher', the existence and essence of 'teacher' in this world will never and cannot be questioned, challenged and surpassed - unless I, unless the teacher 'allows' you

,'gift' you,'encourage' you to do this!"

Luosang frowned and slowly raised his sword.

wrong.

"Only when I, when the 'teacher' allows you to challenge it, gives you the grace to question it, and encourages you to transcend it..."

Joaquin's voice became colder, just like his increasingly cold expression:

"...Only then can you get permission to treat it as an opponent and enemy in that limited time to achieve conditional challenges, questioning and transcendence, and to deceive yourself: 'It is the student's obligation to question the teacher',"

Disciples do not have to be inferior to their teachers', 'Teachers hope to teach students who surpass themselves'..."

Before Joaquin finished speaking, he moved and started to attack again!

"clang!"

Luosang reacted very quickly. With his rich experience, he could see the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent at a glance. He raised his sword to block the attack.

but……

"But why does it do this?"

Knight Joaquin had a terrifying look on his face. He exerted force on his sword, pushing Lausanne back:

"Why, why do 'teachers' allow students to challenge themselves, question themselves, and surpass themselves? Why do they allow students to compromise their authority and status?"

Lausanne II gritted his teeth, feeling inexplicable pain.

"No, on the contrary! 'It' does this precisely to strengthen its own authority and maintain its status! The destination often has to be reached by finding another way, and the goal is often obtained by seemingly giving up. Bait is often given.

To finally tie up the prey!"

Joaquin roared angrily, and the Legion took advantage of the situation and took action!

It's a triumphal attack.

"clang!"

Luosang tried his best to block this ultimate killing move - compared to decades ago, the opponent's sword move not only did not fade at all, but was even more difficult to deal with than in memory.

Joaquin Knight kicked him hard, but Lausanne II couldn't resist it and fell back with a groan.

"Because this 'challenge' arena, this 'questioning' stage, is given to you by 'teacher' with great mercy! Only when you stand on the arena and stage, follow its rules and permissions, and 'challenge' the teacher,

Only after it has 'questioned' the teacher and 'surpassed' the teacher can it confidently guide you as it should!"

No.

Why?

"...to induce you to follow the rules, lower your eyebrows, and even say those words to 'it' with gratitude: 'Even so, you will always be my teacher', 'Everything I have is taught by my teacher'

,'I bear the teacher's expectations and am better than my master'..."

In anger, shame and pain, Lausanne II struggled to get up from the sewage and subconsciously held the hilt of the sword, but the words of Joaquin Knight were like an irresistible magic voice, ringing clearly in his ears:

"Just like a great knight who could have made great achievements, but he was willing to bow his head and die loyal to his selfish and weak master, and was praised for his loyalty! Or an angry slave who could have resisted and ran for freedom, but was willing to bow his head and let the cruel slave owner seal and wear the shackles

, and therefore be rewarded!”

Luosang closed his eyes in pain.

The wind howled.

"clang!"

Luosang subconsciously raised his sword, barely able to block Joaquin's slashing attack!

Knight Joaquin leaned forward, got close to Lausanne, and said softly: "Even if you have truly surpassed the teacher, surpassed 'it'."

"You, my attendant, do you understand?"
