despite not being fully compressed and condensed on the surface of his body, but rather in a 'semi-external' state, they were actually stronger than the martial arts domains of many Grandmasters in the Dao-Establishing Realm after they condensed them with all their might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So strong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grandmasters all looked at Huyan Hetai in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some among them had already recognized Huyan Hetai as the first warrior of the Sakaze Temple, a powerhouse who could rank in the top three of the grassland royal court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the power Huyan Hetai erupted with at this moment—even the grassland royal court’s recognized strongest Grandmaster, Tuoba Shanhai, was likely no more than this, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power caused even Ying Jie to be moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that in a mere fifteen years, Huyan Hetai could grow to such a degree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ying Jie, am I not qualified to be the opponent for your final battle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huyan Hetai glared, his voice like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a hand and pointed at Li Fei: \"Or is it that for the final battle of your life, for the sake of your own reputation, you only wanted to choose an opponent with greater fame?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Central Plains language was average, but the accusation that Ying Jie was 'fishing for fame' was understood by everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Jie’s expression changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking through from the Dao-Establishing Realm to become a Martial Saint is a process of seeking the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s Dao is different, and the probability of success is also different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo Chen’s 'slaying one's own body to achieve the Dao' ultimately even required killing a Martial Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty was naturally immense, but if he succeeded, the probability of Bo Chen breaking through to become a Saint could almost be said to be ten out of ten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the reason Bo Chen would spare nothing to attempt this path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ying Jie’s own Dao was life-and-death combat, achieving the Dao under the pressure of desperate straits and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had been honing it until now, with his lifespan about to be exhausted, the certainty of his path successfully breaking through was less than one in ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if there was less than one-tenth certainty, Ying Jie was unwilling to give up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But opponents were hard to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life-and-death combat requires comparable strength; if Ying Jie went to challenge a Martial Saint, that would not be seeking the Dao, but seeking death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those Grandmasters whose strength was comparable to his, why would they risk their lives to help you verify the Dao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your Dao, Ying Jie, is life-and-death combat, but others' Dao might not be this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for going to the battlefield, fighting in war to verify the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Jie’s Dao is not the Dao of the military strategist; it is the Dao of a common man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What suits him best is one-on-one combat with someone, feeling the ultimate of the martial Dao between every move and stance; this process cannot be disturbed by the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it is difficult to find fair, one-on-one, undisturbed combat opportunities on the battlefield, so this method is also not suitable for Ying Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His public challenge to Li Fei this time was also with the mentality of giving it a try; he had no certainty that Li Fei would definitely agree to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it didn't work, his backup choice was Huyan Hetai, and he also had no absolute certainty of making Huyan Hetai agree to a life-and-death battle with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Li Fei had agreed, and Huyan Hetai had also come...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known earlier that Huyan Hetai’s strength had reached this point, and that he was so actively and proactively wanting to fight a life-and-death battle with him, Ying Jie certainly would not have challenged Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to leaving his name in the annals of history, he cared more about seeking the Dao and breaking through his realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis of Jing'an\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying all looked toward Li Fei, having already reached a decision in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3762,"2026-06-25T10:09:36.004Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1d41dd537ea46a21538d2dc582e9b03c895383961c1acf5579f5aa5f983fed3c","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-862","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-860",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
