Chapter 1524: How About... I Give It a Try Too

"Huh? What's going on? This Yuan Ye still won't admit defeat?"

"They're going to fight again! Could Yuan Ye have some hidden trump card?"

"Look at the gatekeeper's state—something seems off!"

...

At this moment, Zheng Jian had entered a mysterious state.

Ye Yuan was all too familiar with this state—it was the state of selflessness he had entered twice!

A dangerous aura rushed toward him, sending chills down Ye Yuan's spine.

"No wonder he dares to claim invincibility at the same level—he can enter the state of selflessness at will!" Ye Yuan exclaimed in amazement.

Just then, Wu Chen's voice sounded in Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness: "This is not the complete state of selflessness, but a critical state between selflessness and reality. Moreover, this state is only applicable to combat, allowing a martial artist to unleash strength beyond normal levels during battle!"

"Sigh..."

Ye Yuan drew a cold breath, never expecting such a martial technique to exist.

"Is this his full combat power? Truly formidable!" Ye Yuan murmured.

"This move, honed through countless temperings, allows one's state of mind to blend a trace of the Heavenly Dao. Only those with great perseverance can achieve it. This person, in his lifetime, must have been a powerhouse who shook the world!" Wu Chen said.

Even with Wu Chen's insight, he looked at Zheng Jian with newfound respect.

Though this man's talent in martial arts could not match Ye Yuan's, it was not far off.

"Here he comes! So fast!"

Ye Yuan's heart jolted as Zheng Jian transformed into a blur and charged at him.

The two short swords were like sharp fangs, lunging at Ye Yuan ferociously.

"Magnetic Field, open! Ethereal Sword Art!"

Ye Yuan shouted coldly, unleashing the Ethereal Sword Art once more while a powerful gravitational field descended instantly.

This came so suddenly that Zheng Jian's figure jerked to a halt, slowing down considerably.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The two exchanged dozens of sword strikes in a flash, and Ye Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

"Swoosh!"

Zheng Jian's short sword abruptly accelerated, slashing a gash on Ye Yuan's arm.

Ye Yuan retreated rapidly, but Zheng Jian pressed on relentlessly.

The ever-reliable Magnetic Field only lasted for a single breath before Zheng Jian broke it.

His sharp sword aura directly tore a rift in the Magnetic Field, shattering the field into fragments.

Zheng Jian's law power was too strong, far beyond what Ye Yuan could match now.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Ye Yuan exerted all his strength, constantly teleporting through space, barely managing to protect his vital points.

But the wounds on his body kept increasing.

Zheng Jian, in his state of focused strike, was too powerful.

His combat instinct was pushed to the extreme.

This enhanced his combat ability in every aspect.

It felt like when Ye Yuan had faced the replicator before.

Once he entered the state of selflessness, the replicator became nothing but a target for him to toy with.

"So strong! That gatekeeper is like a different person from before. What happened? It's the same sword art, the same movement technique—why is he so powerful?" Batu exclaimed in shock.

Here, only the Dalan Six could barely track the battle traces of the two.

Batu and the others stared intently at the projection, not daring to miss a single moment.

Because if they lost focus for even a second, they couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

But he could sense that Zheng Jian's strength had suddenly skyrocketed, turning him into a battle maniac.

Ye Yuan's situation was growing increasingly dire.

Di Fan also watched closely and said solemnly, "He seems to have entered a strange state... like the state of selflessness!"

Batu's face changed in shock. "State of selflessness? That... that can't be, right? The state of selflessness is something you encounter by chance, not something you can enter at will!"

Di Fan said gravely, "Of course, you can't enter the state of selflessness casually. But I've heard that through special training, one can train combat instinct to a critical state! In this critical state, it almost has the effect of the state of selflessness, allowing one to amplify their strength infinitely. I'm afraid that gatekeeper is in this state."

Batu was dumbfounded. "There's such a thing? If..."

"No ifs! Not to mention that very few know of this training method, the training itself is so terrifying that ordinary people simply can't endure it. Out of a thousand people, if one survives, that's already remarkable. This gatekeeper must have been a madman in his time!" Di Fan interrupted Batu and said solemnly.

"Sigh..."

Batu gasped in shock. This training method was too terrifying.

"It seems Yuan Ye is in danger. Even if he wants to stop now, I'm afraid it's too late." Batu sighed.

The stinging pain from his wounds actually made Ye Yuan more alert.

"State of selflessness? How about... I give it a try too!"

Ye Yuan had experienced entering the state of selflessness twice, and once he had almost entered it.

There was probably no one else in the world who understood the state of selflessness better than he did.

Now, pushed to his limit by Zheng Jian, even the Magnetic Field was instantly dismantled.

The only way he could think of to break through was to enter the state of selflessness.

But the state of selflessness was not something you could enter just because you wanted to.

Entering the state of selflessness required very specific timing.

Last time, Ye Yuan had only barely entered the state of selflessness when he was on the verge of death.

Now, Ye Yuan completely let go of his mind, carefully recalling the state he had entered twice before.

As a result, he couldn't fully focus on dealing with Zheng Jian's attacks, and the wounds on his body became more numerous.

The Heavenly Dao!

The state of selflessness was about aligning with the Heavenly Dao!

How could one align with the Heavenly Dao?

Ye Yuan emptied himself, and in this extreme state, he adjusted his state of mind bit by bit.

"Yuan Ye can't hold on! Within a hundred moves, the outcome will be decided, life or death!" Di Fan's words carried a hint of melancholy.

After all, this Yuan Ye's talent had opened their eyes wide.

Unexpectedly, he had brought about his own downfall.

A hundred moves might sound like a lot, but for Yuan He and Zheng Jian, it was only a matter of a few breaths.

They struck too fast, too fast for ordinary people to even track.

"You're dead!" Zheng Jian's voice was like a death knell ringing in Ye Yuan's ears.

Though he was in a critical state, he still retained his consciousness.

This declaration was a pronouncement of Ye Yuan's death.

Zheng Jian's short sword shot like lightning toward Ye Yuan's heart.

"Swoosh!"

Zheng Jian felt a sudden pain—he was wounded!

His heart sank. This was the first time Ye Yuan had struck his body!

His killing blow had been dodged by Ye Yuan, who had even left a wound on him?

Zheng Jian suddenly sensed something and his eyes widened in horror.

"The state of selflessness!"
