The first to draw the sword, the first to leap, the first to attack... No matter from which point of view, Keji has taken advantage of the first move.

However... Shuten Doji was the last to arrive!

Katsumi didn't even see clearly how Shuten Douji drew the sword, but he felt a heavy blow to his waist and abdomen. Severe, shattering pain spread throughout his body. He almost couldn't breathe, and lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Can't even stand up.

It is not difficult to imagine that if Shuten-douji had just used a blade instead of a scabbard... Katsumi might have died on the spot without even having time to scream.

After the drunkard boy finished speaking, Katsumi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Although the pain in his waist and abdomen was severe and it was difficult to breathe, he still managed to gather his energy and squeeze out the words between his teeth:

"Naturally possessing the 'selfless state'...what do you mean...? You said that you have had...the ability to freely enter the 'selfless state' since birth...?"

Shuten Doji smiled:

"Yes, you can understand it this way, this is my innate talent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kenji on the back shouted:

"This is impossible...! There is no such absurd thing in this world...!"

"The realm of selflessness" - a legendary realm that many warriors can only dream of!

Countless warriors have painstakingly studied to gain a glimpse of the mysteries of this realm, and there are many outstanding geniuses among them.

But in the end... they gave their sweat, blood, youth, life, everything they had, but they didn't even touch the threshold of the "selfless realm"

Rao, the most powerful person in Katsumi's mind - his teacher Yamada Asaemon Yoshitsune - also learned a magical breathing method and practiced hard every day until his temples turned gray.

Once you use this breathing method, you can quickly enter the "state of selflessness".

Even the master has to rely on the assistance of this breathing method to get a glimpse of the "state of selflessness", let alone other people?

At this moment, a young man in his early twenties at most stood in front of Keji and said to him: I have the ability to freely enter the "selfless state" since I was born, and there is no need to specialize in practice.

How can Keji accept this?

It is no exaggeration to say that his outlook on life was greatly impacted!

Even if the hard facts are placed in front of him, he subconsciously doesn't want to believe it.

Shuten Doji seemed to be used to Katsumi's reaction. After smiling slightly, he said calmly:

"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi, there is no need to be so surprised."

"'There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the human beings'. This is the common sense in the world."

"No matter how the world changes, this sentence will never go out of style."

"The world is wider than you think."

"The land under our feet is just a small country isolated overseas."

"Perhaps at this very moment, in a certain corner of this world, another peerless genius who is far superior to you and me will be born."

"Okay, let's stop here for the dull preaching."

"Now, let's have a nice chat."

Shuten Doji said, crossing his legs and sitting on the floor, directly opposite Katsumi.

At the same time, the strange light in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he exited the "selfless state".

"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi, I have heard of you a long time ago."

"The genius boy of the Yamada Asaemon family...has shown amazing talents at a young age."

"What a pity that you are not the eldest son of the family."

"Unless all the brothers in front of you are dead, it will never be your turn to inherit the position of head of the family."

After hearing this, Keji sneered:

"Hmph! I don't care about the head of the family or anything like that!"

"The swordsmanship that I have honed with all my heart and soul is used to help others test the sword and chop off the heads of condemned prisoners."

"This kind of life is so boring! I'm going to vomit just thinking about it!"

Shuten Doji laughed dumbly and cast an interested look at Katsumi:

"As in the rumors, you are a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and only has the word 'becoming stronger' in your mind."

The next moment, his conversation suddenly changed.

"You had a falling out with your master three months ago, right?"

The sentence structure of interrogative sentences and the tone of affirmative sentences.

It is not difficult to tell that Shuten Doji is well aware of Katsumi's previous experiences.

"..."

Keji remained silent, his facial expression becoming complicated.

"Do you regret leaving your master?"

"..."

Katsuki remained silent and just stared at Shuten Doji silently.

The other party didn't seem to mind Katsuki's silence, and continued on by himself:

"Although it's just the first time we've met, I've already recognized your style from the way you just rushed towards me without any explanation."

"You are the kind of person who is both extremely talented and extremely hardworking."

"In that case, do you want to join us?"

The extremely unexpected change of topic and the unexpected olive branch made Katsuki stunned.

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Oh, what I said just now wasn't clear enough? Let me make it clearer - do you want to join us and become a member of the Law Punishment Party?"

The corners of Katsuki's eyes twitched suddenly, and a faint look of impatience appeared on his cheeks.

I saw him open his mouth. Judging from the shape of his mouth, he should be planning to refuse.

But when he was about to speak, he seemed to have thought of something, and he paused.

The changes in his demeanor were all seen in Shuten Dozi's eyes.

The two corners of the latter's mouth are raised high and extend towards the base of the ears.

"It is true that once you join us, you will inevitably serve the organization."

"But on the contrary, you will receive commensurate rewards."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at himself.

"As long as I have free time, you can challenge me."

"A beast without a suitable opponent will only become weaker and weaker."

"A combative genius like you can only improve himself quickly by competing with strong people."

"Yamada Asaemon Katsumi, to be honest, your strength is still far from enough."

"The fact that you can't even take one of my most common moves is the best proof."

"What do you think about my strength?"

As soon as the Shuten boy finished speaking, Keji immediately shouted excitedly:

"I'm very happy! Apart from my master, I haven't met a powerful opponent that can make me tremble with excitement for a long time!"

After hearing this, the drunkard boy also laughed out loud:

"Very good! Nice answer!"

"By the way, let me tell you something."

"In terms of ranking of military force, I am just the 'second child' of the FaZun Party."

"Otakemaru, who is recognized by us as the 'highest combat power', is a monster far stronger than me!"

"He is truly a peerless genius, and his strength cannot be evaluated by worldly common sense."

"The so-called 'selfless state' is nothing in front of his eyes."

"If I were to challenge Ōtakemaru, I wouldn't be able to survive even one round - hearing me say that, are you even more excited?"

…

…

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!

Prajna danced his sword quickly, and the dense sword light formed a silver barrier, firmly protecting all the vital points on his body.

The increasingly intensive and fierce offensive made Prajna more and more stretched, and there were more and more small wounds on his body.
