Each sword swing seemed ordinary as if he randomly just attacked the air, but surprisingly when the sword swings met with the Extreme Slash, the Extreme Slash followed the same trajectory as the sword's.

In a split second the ghost clone lost all control of its Extreme Slash as they followed the will of Shi Feng.

Shi Feng sandwiched all Nine Extreme Slashes between his two blades as they pointed towards the ceiling above his head.

With his right foot firmly planted on the ground and his left foot taking a slight step forward a massive amount of power transferred from the ground to Shi Feng as he slashed his swords and Extreme Slash downward at the clone.

A giant silver slash sliced the clone and sent it flying off the platform. People might mistake this as an in game skill. The silver slash contained so much power and seemed so exaggerated that it didn't match what a combat technique should look like.

After a second, Shi Feng who was responsible for this finally had life return to his eyes. He repeatedly blinked trying to confirm that it was him that did this.

"What an out of body experience! Is this what the Transcendental Realm is?"

While he immersed himself in the fight, he stopped thinking about how to move and attack and let his body move on auto pilot. While in that state he felt completely free and unrestrained, as if the chains restricting his body were gone.

He felt like he could master a Bronze Combat technique in a few days. Normally it would take him days just to learn a Bronze Combat technique and even longer to master it.

Now as long as he knows the principle of the technique he can pull it off in a few tries.

Shi Feng took his sword and sliced at the space before him. His sword split the air and left very thin lines of light.

"My attack reaction speed has improved!" He was ecstatic. Trying to increase his reaction speed is something that isn't easily possible at his current standard. But now that his body barely takes any commands from his mind, although it isn't as fast as when he was having that out of body moment, those subconscious limiters that his brain placed on him no longer holds him back.

The brain places limits on the body as a form of protection. Martial artists have ways of releasing these limiters but not all of it as that could lead to irreparable damage or even death.

But in a virtual game, the virtual body has no need for those limiters, unfortunately the brain still places these limiters.

Now Shi Feng doesn't have that holding him back. It's not only his reaction speed, movements that he would've found uncomfortable and unnatural will feel less so.

Shi Feng quickly went to the next platform, not waiting for his clone to come back. Now that he has officially entered the Transcendental Realm he wants to see how far he can go.

Shi Feng entered the second platform. The size was the same as the first but the rotation of the dome and floor were even faster. The deliriousness he felt on the second platform was on a new level compared to the first.

In the next moment another ghost clone appeared in front of him. This one seemed more real and alive then the one before.

As time slowly passed Shi Feng and his clone just stared at each other. "Waiting for me to make the first move?"

Shi Feng didn't expect this. Usually training dummies would attack with no hesitation. The only other time he experienced something like this was when he was in the Bronze Temple at the World Summit learning to go beyond 100% completion on his Chop skill.
