"A clone slightly stronger than me?"

Jiang Ye saw the subtitles and his expression immediately tightened.

Clone, what does that mean?

It should be an individual exactly like him, perfectly replicating his combat abilities.

A clone slightly stronger than him means that the opponent's overall level will be superior to him in every aspect.

"It's truly worthy of being the ultimate challenge, this difficulty is insane." Jiang Ye quietly clicked his tongue.

Geniuses are often fearless against any opponent.

But what if this opponent is oneself? And an even stronger self!

Who dares to claim they are absolutely confident of winning?

"And, to defeat it without taking any damage if possible?" Jiang Ye looked at the subtitles, deep in thought.

He didn't move forward immediately, after all, it was the final challenge, and he dared not be overconfident; he must win steadily.

"Without taking damage, probably few can achieve that."

"This challenge likely assesses the degree of injury."

"The lower the degree of injury, the higher the probability of passing, of course, provided the clone is defeated."

Thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye's mind: "But... will this clone replicate my combat power just now?"

Previously, he triggered the effect of "Beauty Path Chasing."

Attack speed increased by 35%, with a 50% chance to increase damage.

But in the face of the clone, he would certainly lose this ability.

If the clone also "copied" this ability,

It would instantly widen a 50% gap!

"Fortunately, I still have a few trump card abilities left." Jiang Ye secretly rejoiced.

He always remembered what Su Tong'Er had said.

Keep your trump cards until the final challenge to use them.

For this reason, Jiang Ye had always held back before.

"Never mind."

"Only by clearing the ultimate challenge can I receive the Star Sea Gift."

Jiang Ye discarded distracting thoughts, his gaze incomparably firm: "I will win this battle."

He hesitated no more.

He lifted his head and strode forward.

"Buzz!"

Just as Jiang Ye walked ten meters forward, suddenly, the Cloud Road under his feet narrowed sharply.

It shrank from over ten meters wide to just five meters.

The starlight around also dimmed, this section of the Cloud Road seemed to become a rectangular ring.

On the other side of the ring, a figure slowly appeared.

He looked exactly like Jiang Ye, exceedingly handsome with masculine features, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, like a cold machine.

[Please fight within the designated range, leaving the area is considered an elimination.]

A line of subtitles appeared.

"Designated range? Only five meters?" Jiang Ye looked at the ring.

How narrow is five meters for a Star Sky Martial Arts Master?

Just two or three steps to cross it.

Fighting in such a cramped space while avoiding injury is quite challenging!

[Battle begins]

Jiang Ye was not given much time to adapt.

The moment the subtitles fell.

At the end of the ring, the clone moved suddenly.

"Swoosh!"

The clone turned into a bolt of lightning, filled with murderous intent, charging at Jiang Ye.

He punched out, the Thunder Sound roaring!

At the first move, he directly used his strongest killing move.

Just like Jiang Ye earlier, also with a trace of awe-inspiring power, and that momentum was faintly even stronger!

"Eight Thunder Sounds Fist?"

Jiang Ye's eyes glinted, but he neither dodged nor avoided.

He mirrored the Eight Thunder Sounds Fist, striking straight out.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Their exchanges were lightning-fast, trading over ten punches in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ye felt a terrifying force coming at him, forcing him to retreat repeatedly to dissipate the shocking power.

He was about to step onto the ring's edge.

But at this moment.

Jiang Ye's footsteps abruptly halted.

[Grounded: Active effect, legs turn into rock foundation, resilience increased by 100%, immune to knockback and knock-up effects, lasts 60s, cooldown five minutes]

Immunity to knockback!

Jiang Ye's legs seemed to turn into stone, standing at the edge of the ring, continually punching.

"Boom!" "Boom boom!"

Punch after punch!

Suddenly.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Ye had a stroke of insight, and over a hundred strands of Star Energy surged out from the Guanyuan Acupoint.

Gathered in his palm.

He swung a punch!

"Boom!" This punch left a dull explosive sound in the air as if tearing through it.

Like a cannonball, it crashed into the clone!

[Hitting a Stone with an Egg: Against opponents with a higher Realm, there is a chance to increase damage by 100% and cause continuous bleeding effect]

Increase damage by 100%!

Bam!

This punch from Jiang Ye suddenly increased in power, doubling compared to before!

It completely exceeded his original power limit, directly blasting the clone to fly backward.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Ye's figure flashed, quickly returning to the center of the ring.

"The effect of Hitting a Stone with an Egg finally triggered!"

He initially thought this effect wouldn't trigger.

Unexpectedly, after dozens of punches, it only triggered once.

The probability was indeed somewhat low!

But fortunately, the power was extremely formidable.

Just one punch cleared away all the accumulated advantages of the clone.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ye regained control of the situation.

"The opponent indeed copied the effect of 'Beauty Path Chasing'." Jiang Ye's thoughts quickly flashed: "And that 50% increased damage probability also became a 50% increase with every hit!"

In simple terms, this clone had no probability events.

The basic value directly copied the strongest combat power he demonstrated in actual combat just now.

In a flash of lightning, he had thoroughly figured out the strength of his opponent.

"Then... it's my turn to counterattack!"

A sharp killing intent erupted in Jiang Ye's eyes.

"Kill!"

He let out a low shout, his figure like lightning, heading towards the clone that was knocked back.

A leg whip swept out.

[Foot Path is also Path: Active effect, damage of both feet increased by 50%, lasts 60s, cooldown 10 minutes]

"Whoosh~"

A flash of silver light.

Jiang Ye's thigh was instantly filled with hundreds of strands of Star Energy, as if filled with lead, drawing a star trail in the air.

Then, he fiercely chopped towards the clone.

The clone raised its arms to block, a dense silver light appeared on the surface of its arms, as if transformed into Star Energy Armor, unbreakable.

"Boom!"

This hit knocked the clone back again.

However, it did not fly out of the ring.

Jiang Ye's expression did not change at all as he delivered another fierce leg whip, heavy like a thousand pounds.

One strike! Another strike.

On the ring, the situation was almost completely controlled by Jiang Ye, forcing the clone to retreat repeatedly.

But the clone "Jiang Ye" was extremely tenacious, each time about to fly off the ring, it could cleverly dismantle and dissipate the force.

Then return to the center of the ring.

"Troublesome fellow." Jiang Ye's brow furrowed slightly, his active effect was about to end.

This clone seemed to have inherited his Martial Arts Will.

In defense, it was very tenacious.

Of course, it might also be because the clone couldn't feel pain.

If it were a normal person, being struck so heavily would have been disoriented long ago.

"The Foot Path effect has ended."

Jiang Ye thought to himself: "Seems like there's no way to knock it off."

"Only one way left, to defeat it head-on!"

He looked at the clone ahead, determination flashing in his eyes.

Seems like... only that move can be used?

"Swoosh!"

Jiang Ye's figure once again turned into a flash of lightning, heading forward.

...

At the same time.

In the top-level conference room of the octagonal building.

Director Liu watched the verification status of Jiang Ye and the others on the big screen.

"Su Tong'Er and Yun Qing'Er have both passed the first verification and are undergoing the second."

"Jiang Ye? Seems stuck on the last challenge."

Director Liu nodded slightly, not surprised: "The final challenge is quite difficult, unless you have Talent above Tao Bone level with special abilities, it's quite tough to tackle."

"Looking at Jiang Ye's information, he's only learned one high-level Art Technique, unless unexpectedly, this challenge might trap him for a long time."

Director Liu had just said this when suddenly.

"Hmm?"

He gasped: "How is it possible, this kid finished it!?"
