I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Having settled on Fushin Island, aside from teaching Shichika, I haven't had a friendly martial arts sparring session with Nanami yet.

On one hand, Skadi was itching to show off her skills, and on the other hand, she had her eye on Nanami and was determined to keep her by her side, so she was thinking of giving Nanami some pointers.

"Is my sister going to fight Skadi?"

Nana stared wide-eyed at the two of them with curiosity and anticipation. Skadi had said she would suppress that monstrous body to the same level as Nanami.

In other words, this is a battle of martial arts skills and techniques, and Qi Hua naturally wants to see it for herself.

"Sure, I'd be happy to oblige."

A smile appeared on Nanami's exquisite and beautiful face as she readily agreed to Skadi's challenge to a martial arts sparring match.

Before the other party appeared, Nanami believed that there was no one in the world stronger than her.

However, after Skadi appeared, she was able to experience a sense of effort that was unique to her. There were people stronger than her, so as a sword, she wanted to challenge them.

However, Skadi's incredibly powerful monstrous body was so complex that even her Eye of Insight couldn't fully analyze its structure, let alone replicate it.

So when Skadi suggested a technical sparring session using the same physical attributes, Nanami felt a surge of pleasure and an unprecedented competitive spirit.

“Come on, Nanami.”

As she spoke, Skadi didn't put on any pose in Shichika's eyes, but her body surface shimmered with a faint light.

Nanami did the same, placing her hands in front of her lower abdomen, adopting the dignified and polite demeanor of a sheltered young lady, standing in contrast to Skadi.

In Nanami's eyes, Skadi's indestructible aura had disappeared, replaced by an aura that resembled that of a normal person... no... completely like her own, in a state of sub-health.

Even Shichika noticed that the two of them had the same aura as if they were looking in a mirror.

"Hmm...it seems Nanami isn't putting on any airs either?" Skadi looked at Nanami and noticed that she was completely relaxed, just like herself.

"I've never put on any stance. After all, I'm a heretic of the Kyoto-ryu school, and putting on a stance in front of you would only lead to my vulnerability, just like with Shichika."

Nanami smiled and spoke in a light, airy tone, her words as gentle as a dandelion seed, and then the other person naturally raised their arm.

"If I were to name it like Shichika, I'd call it... Hollow Blade Style Zero - Fig."

Having said that, she strolled over to Skadi as if taking a leisurely walk.

What is a very slow movement in Shichika's eyes is a state of perfect simplicity in Skadi's eyes.

Skadi chuckled and strolled over at the same leisurely pace.

An eerie and deathly silence spread around the two of them, and a distinct sense of pressure emanated from them as they drew closer.

As Qihua stared intently at the two, she had a disorienting feeling, as if the two were standing on a calm surface of water.

The two approached each other slowly, walking on the water without creating the slightest ripple.

It was this terrifying and eerie silence that, in the Seven-Flower Beast's perception, was the calm before a storm.

However, even though Nanami and Skadi's physical abilities were reduced to the exact same level, Nanami was the first to break out in sweat on her fair forehead.

Even before they made a move against Skadi, their minds were already racing, rehearsing each other's tactical strategies and moves.

In Skadi's eyes, if Nanami were in the same world as her, her level of perfection would probably be much higher, and with her talent, it would increase dramatically in battle.

Buzz————!

"coming!"

Nanaka's expression hardened. In the seemingly illusory perspective of Skadi and her sister, ripples appeared beneath their feet, like the surface of water.

As the two ripples collided, Nanami and Skadi had already organized their respective tactical ideas and attack moves.

The attack began the moment the two revealed their true identities.

Skadi was the first to attack!

"Eek—!"

With his hands forming a blade, the power flowing, condensing, compressing, and subtly controlling between his palms and arms was completed in an instant, and a fierce Maha Piercing Heart Sword was struck towards Nanami.

Furthermore, nearly a thousand terrifying tactical ideas have been rehearsed, and the opponent will retaliate and respond accordingly, and Skadi will then retaliate and subdue the opponent's tactics!

"—Young poppy!"

Seeing the Eye of Ancient Learning, Skadi's terrifying physical power was instantly condensed and understood, manifested as Ming Jin, An Jin, Hua Jin, Bao Dan, Jian Shen Bu Hua, and Ru Wei Gui Yi!

As Nanami's body crackled and popped, her understanding of force reached the same level as Skadi's, as if she were climbing stairs. Then she used the heretical Hollow Blade style to counterattack!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang ————!

The explosions and breaks in the air, like firecrackers during Chinese New Year, echoed continuously between Skadi and Nanami.

The air exploded around the two of them like a vacuum bomb, pushing aside the ground beneath their feet.

But Shichika paid no attention to any of that; she simply stared intently at the terrifying sparring match without even blinking.

Although the display was impressive, the exchange of martial arts skills between the two was even more spectacular, with their fierce fighting spirit driving various tactics and mysterious moves.

After understanding, one becomes stronger, further refining one's martial arts skills, and then unleashing even greater power upon the opponent.

Boom!

The sudden explosion interrupted the continuous bangs. The first blow was Skadi's thunderous punch that struck Nanami, the fist imprinting on the opponent's face and spurting blood onto the ground.

Then, Qi Shi promptly dissipated the force that had come into contact with his body and entered his body, dispersing, differentiating, utilizing, and then controlling it!

What appeared to be a severe punch was actually not serious for either of them, but...

BOOM!

The second strike, like a cleaver, was the Maha-Slaying Golden Blade, which lashed out with Skadi's whip kick, striking Nanami's arm that was blocking her attack.

boom---!

But the situation remained the same after the third strike; another Sea Tiger Explosive Elbow blocked the dense hand slashes that Nanami was about to unleash.

It seems that Nanami is at a significant disadvantage, but not an absolute one. At least in Nanami's eyes, her older sister's counterattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and powerful.

The secrets of his Phantom Blade style would only be stronger and more terrifying when used by Nanami. He offered Skadi a series of moves that he had come up with on the spot during battlefield sparring without reservation.

However, as time passed, Nanaka became somewhat anxious because her sister, despite being able to make contact with Skadi between offense and defense, was still struggling.

However, in terms of proactive offense, there have still been no effective and successful attacks.

Not once, not even once, did they manage to attack Skadi, until the ten minutes were up.

This sparring match ended as her older sister, Nanami, became weak and breathless.

Although they lost, they learned so much. After Nana rushed over to help her older sister, Nanami looked intently at Skadi, her voice weak but filled with undisguised curiosity as she asked:

"You... what level is that? Your attacks and dodges show absolutely no warning or reaction, not even muscle or nerve responses..."

"The highest level of selflessness is when I don't need to think with my brain. My body and consciousness are separated, allowing each part of my body to perceive the danger around me beyond instinct. Then, I act without the control of my brain. If you need to think, you will naturally be a step behind me."

Skadi didn't try to hide anything from Nanami and directly explained her state of selflessness.

Of course, in a certain high-level martial arts world, this state of being is also known as the Free and Ultimate Skill.

What? Doesn't being in the state of Ultra Instinct cause physical changes? Like hair emitting silver light, eyes turning silver, and so on.

Indeed, Skadi did undergo this change initially, but she had already mastered the ability to remain at that level without any outward change.

In other words, this is not a state, but Skadi's permanent state.

"Is something like that even possible!?"

Nanaka stared wide-eyed at Skadi, her consciousness and body separated, her mind no longer needing to think, much less control her body.

That makes sense, but how can you fight without using your brain to send signals to your body?

Leave it to your body to fight on its own? Nana certainly can't do that.

"Seven Flowers, there's no doubt about it. That's not an ability; it's truly an incredible state of being. She has truly achieved 'selflessness'."

Seeing her younger brother's incredulous and somewhat unacceptable expression, Nanami gave him a chop to the head in a fit of anger.

Qi Hua immediately clutched her head and cried out in pain as she was stewed.

Don't you trust Skadi? After living with her for a while, don't you know she's a very genuine person?

I didn't lie to you, and there's no need for me to lie to you.

In Nanami's eyes, being unable to accept things he doesn't understand, like a weakling, is a serious breach of the demeanor of a leader of the Hollow Sword Style.

However, it wasn't just Nanaka who didn't understand Skadi's concept of the state of selflessness; countless viewers also found it extremely unbelievable.

Besides being incredulous, I was also deeply shocked.

Separate the body from consciousness, no longer controlled by the brain, but allowing different parts of the body to react automatically to the enemy.

How can this be! ?

Humans couldn't do it, and even non-human viewers would find it too outrageous, simply a fantasy.

If the brain doesn't control it, how can the body possibly react?

Some seasoned veterans and experienced fighters tried it briefly and concluded that it was simply impossible.

But Skadi in the video actually did it, which is why it's so amazing and incredible.

However, many people remained calm and wondered why others were making such a fuss.

In a seemingly normal yet somewhat abnormal tennis world, a group of high school tennis players stared at the barrage of negative comments on the screen, filled with "impossible," "how could this be," and "it's a lie," all feeling incredulous.

Why is everyone reacting like this? Isn't this the state of selflessness?

"Is it possible that not many people in other worlds can achieve the state of 'no self'? Why are you making such a fuss?"

In the world of tennis, tennis masters such as Genichiro Sanada, Seiichi Yukimura, Ryoma Echizen, and Nanjiro Echizen looked at the comments on the video with strange and puzzled expressions.

Deep down, I don't understand why the other viewers are making such a fuss. Is the selflessness that Skadi demonstrates so hard to accept? Is it impossible for her to achieve it?

With a little training and some talent, even ordinary tennis players like them can do it, right?

Skadi's selflessness is nothing special to tennis players in this world.

In this world, the state of selflessness, also known as the state of forgetting oneself, is one of the two great states in a tennis career.

Only by being single-minded, free from distractions, and possessing rich experience can one reach a state of selflessness. The side effect of this is the rapid depletion of physical strength.

Another state opposite to the state of no-self is the "Asura God Path".
