"You're fucking bullshitting."
That was Huai Shi's first reaction.
It wasn't that he held Old Man Luo's skill in contempt, nor that he didn't believe there were still things in this world he didn't know.
Even if Old Man Luo started telling him three thousand words' worth of new lore, he could accept it.
But this alone, he found impossible to believe.
A realm beyond the Overlimit State.
That was inherently a false proposition, because the Overlimit State itself was already the limit.
It had nothing to do with one's own strength. The Overlimit State was an exceptional skill that could be universally used all the way up to the fifth tier, but the issue was... it was itself an explosive state formed through skill after the union of one's Source Matter and flesh.
Like overclocking a CPU.
You were already overclocking it. Could you overclock it further?
Weren't you afraid of burning out the machine?
It was called the Overlimit State precisely because it had already surpassed the limit. Whether this nested-doll method of surpassing the Overlimit State even existed or made sense aside, how was it any different from the Overlimit State itself?
It was still within the scope of the Overlimit State, only differing in degree.
"You don't believe it?"
Old Man Luo laughed teasingly. "That's right. It's precisely because you don't believe that you can't touch its edge."
"This simply isn't reasonable. Old Man Luo, you know what I mean," Huai Shi answered seriously.
"Reasonable? Is that sort of thing useful?"
Old Man Luo's strange laugh became even more grating. "If everything had to make sense, then nothing you wanted to do would ever work. Sometimes, if you want to succeed, you have to..."
"—Be unreasonable!"
In that instant, an explosive crack rang out.
Death Sense
