"What...what is this?"
Long Yi's expression had calmed down, and he was no longer as agitated as before. After a brief silence, he asked in a low voice.
He had never seen such a subtle situation before. He didn't believe that this was Xiao Ye's usual level of skill; there must be some aspect that he was unaware of.
Have you ever heard of 'Extreme'?
Xiao Ye didn't hide anything and responded calmly.
"Extreme Realm?"
"The ultimate state is the ultimate state."
"Extreme Realm... that sounds pretty powerful."
"Want to learn? I can teach you."
"Can I learn it?"
Long Yi was completely taken aback by Xiao Ye's response.
"There's nothing you can't learn. As long as you have a solid foundation and the determination to cut off your own arm, it's not difficult at all."
After a pause, Xiao Ye continued, "I only learned it a day ago."
Long Yi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter. As he laughed, he finally could no longer hold on and his body collapsed with a thud.
Only then did his combat uniform suddenly tear open, revealing his battered body, with a clearly visible fist mark on his chest.
The field fell silent.
No one expected that in the seemingly evenly matched exchange just now, Long Yi had actually suffered so many losses without anyone noticing.
"Beep!"
The referee finally came to his senses and blew the whistle to determine the winner.
"Jiang Zhongjun, Xiao Ye, wins!"
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the tense-looking group in the Jiangzhong Military Equipment lounge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't realize that 'Extreme Realm' is so terrifying in actual combat. I can't wait to get on the field and try it out!"
Ye Shicong clenched his fist and said with bright eyes.
"The purpose of what Shen Qian taught you was to use you as a trump card, not as a regular method. The price of permanent damage to your vital energy is that it will delay your own martial arts progress. You still need to distinguish between what is important and what is not."
Cheng Qingqing gave Ye Shicong a sharp rap on the head and rolled her eyes as she spoke.
Shen Qian shook his head and smiled.
The method for entering the "ultimate state" was indeed taught to everyone by him.
What most people don't know is that what he teaches is actually a censored version.
To truly reach the "ultimate realm," for a normal martial artist, it's not just their vital energy that's being burned, but also their physical body!
The price paid is beyond imagination, and it is usually only used when desperate.
Of course, such a system's ability to enter at will is not within the bounds of common sense.
The improved method allows one to enter the "Extreme Realm" simply by burning one's vital energy, but in reality, it is a "pseudo-Extreme Realm".
The true pinnacle may be 100% absolute control, while the "pseudo-pinnacle" is only 99% or 98%.
Don't underestimate this 1% difference; in a life-or-death battle, it can be a world of difference.
However, "Pseudo-Extreme" is sufficient for normal combat.
This was something Shen Qian thought about over and over again, and felt was the last thing he could do for everyone.
Today, Xiao Ye's skill astonished everyone, completely bridging the gap in their cultivation levels and even defeating Long Yi, which can be considered as achieving Shen Qian's expectations.
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Ye coughed a few times, his face turning pale and then red before returning to normal, but his breathing was noticeably weaker.
He picked up the broadsword that had been thrown on the ground, but still showed no intention of leaving the stage, gesturing to the referee to continue.
Just as Shan Hai was about to wave, he seemed to receive some information in his earpiece. He whispered to confirm it, and after a brief moment of surprise, he waved to the commentary booth.
"Wow, everyone! According to the feedback we just received, the Batian Army generals will no longer send any more contestants to fight. This means that the first battle of this top 250 tournament has already concluded..."
"I hereby declare Jiangzhong Military Force the victor!"
The huge cheers seemed to resound through the sky. At this moment, all the teachers and students of Jiangzhong Military Academy, both inside and outside the venue, were filled with excitement.
Only now did they stand tall and dare to shout out those four words.
"This is just the beginning."
Ning Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back on the high platform, feeling the cheers all around him. Overwhelmed with emotion, he finally smiled faintly.
Only he knew best what kind of shock those young people below, who were vaguely led by someone, would bring to the world at this moment!
