Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 134 - 108 Sniper ’Ji’ Communication Group

After ending the call with Master Song, Master Song did not seem to find it bothersome at all, as if it were a trivial matter to him, but he kept reminding Ji Jingqiu to adjust his mindset after experiencing death.

After all, even though it's through the Mind Cabin, the sensation of dying is very real and not diminished in any aspect.

After ending the communication, Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath, stretched his muscles and bones, and prepared for another battle shortly.

"Ji!" A simple and honest voice came from not too far away.

The comer was Ge Hong, accompanied by Su Qiming from the Heavenly Han Dojo that he had run into not long ago.

The Heavenly Han Dojo is also one of the top ten dojos within the Federation.

"Ji, we're going to check out the fighting ring, want to join us?"

Ji Jingqiu had the same idea and happily agreed.

Before leaving, he overheard a woman from the Wilderness Sect pestering the staff and starting to call for security...

"Mr. Ji, are you currently challenging the seventh level?" Su Qiming asked with an enthusiastic gaze, "We just heard the news that you've reached the sixth level!"

Ji Jingqiu nodded and said, "Yes, I've recently been challenging the guardian of the seventh level."

Su Qiming grinned and said, "Recently, many renowned martial artists have been attempting the seventh level, and some have already succeeded."

"Oh?" Interest piqued, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask, "Which martial artists have already succeeded?"

Martial artists have already succeeded?

Really?!

He had no other intention but pure skepticism.

"From the Heavenly God Dojo, Bian Rong; from the Heavenly Sword Dojo, Yin Wushuang; from the Mystic Sky Dojo, Diao Xingyun… and from our Heavenly Han Dojo, our very own Yue Dongyang has conquered the seventh level in the past!" Su Qiming listed with fervor.

"These individuals, nearly all Daoist-level geniuses from their respective dojos, although like us they are limited by the Five Limits, it is precisely because there are only Five Limits!"

"Furthermore, individuals like Bian Rong and Yin Wushuang, who haven't even forged their Cultivation Bodies yet, strangely enough, are attempting the seventh level again after already having passed it as Daoist-level martial artists..."

All Daoist-level Martial Arts geniuses...

So the seventh level is benchmarked against Daoist-level?

Ji Jingqiu's gaze turned solemn, realizing he still fell short.

If he wasn't wrong, the gap was likely in the martial skills!

Yet he still felt something off.

If he remembered correctly, even Senior Zhuang had doubted being a match back in the day...

Suddenly, Ge Hong interjected, "Ji, how many minutes can you last on the seventh level now? If you can hold out for three minutes, you'll make a breakthrough. Once you do, we have to get Vice President Zhang to throw a big celebration inside the company!"

Enduring for three minutes to breakthrough...

Ji Jingqiu's eyelid twitched, "Those Daoist-level geniuses, did they all endure for three minutes to breakthrough?"

Su Qiming scratched his head, "Isn't that how it always is? I heard they'll specifically train several movement techniques."

Movement techniques?

After a moment of silence, Ji Jingqiu replied tactfully:

"Well... lasting over three minutes is actually quite impressive. I should be close to making a breakthrough too, I feel the main issue is still my martial skills."

"Martial skills?" Su Qiming laughed, "Then you should just get into the ring! Real combat on the ring is the best way to refine martial skills, especially the initial Melting Hundred Skills."

The group entered the virtual ring, and suddenly Su Qiming's eyes lit up, "Mr. Ji, Old Ge, come this way! Both contenders are disciples from top dojos, proficient in the Five Limits, especially the one with the curved blade, named Zhu Rong, who has completed Melting Hundred Skills and is now on the second step of Body and Intent."

The two followed lead, listening to Su Qiming's introduction to the fighters in the ring.

Seeing that one of them was wielding a curved blade, Ji Jingqiu's interest peaked.

He was schooled in blade techniques but had never encountered a curved blade before.

It seemed that the virtual ring could indeed broaden his horizon more than just challenging levels could.

The opponent of the curved blade wielder was a long spear; conventionally, a longer weapon has the advantage, but the curved blade danced like a butterfly, with its wielder's footwork agile and varied, changing the direction of the blade continually and seizing the moment for a thrust that skimmed past the throat.

Curved blade wielder, victorious.

A clean and decisive triumph, utterly dominating their opponent.

Watching the dissipating lights on the ring.

Ji Jingqiu felt an itching in his hands, eager to enter the fray himself.

But for now, he held himself back, prepared to watch a few more fights.

Su Qiming then dragged him to watch two more fights, from martial artists who had passed the sixth level.

"Normally, to pass the sixth level, besides possessing a Five Limit Physique, one's martial skills must at least be on the second step!"

"Those Daoist-level talents? Heh, some have reached the peak of Divine Will, and the most monstrous are already stepping into 'Mingxin,' like the Daoist from Heavenly Sword Dojo, Yin Wushuang."

As Ji Jingqiu listened to Su Qiming's introduction, he was inwardly astonished; reaching Peak of Divine Will was one thing, but there were even Mingxin practitioners among them.

They watched another battle between two sword-wielding martial artists.

Both wielded their swords with flashes of light and maximized the variability in their techniques. While the visual effects seemed dramatic, Ji Jingqiu secretly shook his head in dissent.

"This move has at least three flaws... The transition here is too stiff... No, why didn't they seize the opportunity to finish him with a single strike?"

Ji Jingqiu critiqued inside his mind as he watched.

On stage, neither of the two martial artists could match the strength of Chen Yi, the junior from the Dragon Tiger Dojo.

Losing interest in watching further, Ji Jingqiu turned his head and asked, "Old Ge, how do you challenge someone on the arena?"

"Are you going to fight, Ji?"

Ge Hong's eyes sparkled; ever since their match two weeks ago, he had made some progress and was thinking about asking Ji Jingqiu for another round of instruction.

"Mhm, it looks boring." Ji Jingqiu paused and then asked, "Can the arena filter for stronger opponents? Like, at least those at the peak of Body and Intent."

"Since you've passed the sixth level, Ji, the martial artists you match with will at least be of this caliber!"

Ge Hong rubbed his hands together, preparing to record the upcoming match to show off Ji's prowess to his colleagues back at the company.

With the guidance of Ge Hong and Su Qiming, Ji Jingqiu entered the matchmaking queue smoothly.

The biggest advantage of the virtual arena is that you can fight across regions, avoiding the disconnect between the three cities.

Soon, Ji Jingqiu received a system prompt from White Jade City.

"You are about to enter the arena, your opponent is[Win at All Costs]."

Ji Jingqiu raised an eyebrow. Nice name!

Moments later, he was transported into the virtual arena, which was indistinguishable from climbing the tower in White Jade City, perfectly replicating one's physical qualities, and the weapon chosen was merely an ordinary blade.

The opponent was also a martial artist with a sword, handsome in appearance, who took the initiative to salute and said, "Friend, please enlighten me."

Both parties were matched, in the White Jade City system, they were martial artists on the same level, so the proper courtesies were observed.

Ji Jingqiu returned the salute with his blade in hand.

He didn't attack first but waited for the opponent to make a move; a flurry of sword strikes like moonlight, embedded with killing intent, Ji Jingqiu countered with his blade.

After several continuous sword attacks, Ji Jingqiu's arm holding the blade remained steadily unshaken, and the opponent immediately realized the physical disparity between them, knowing brute force won't work, he needed to outwit.

The sword wind abruptly changed from its previous flamboyance to something more elusive and unpredictable. With one thrust came multiple potential follow-up moves, difficult to discern.

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned solemn; he stepped back and his aura went from a deep restraint to a boundless surge, slashing with his blade straightforwardly without any fancy tricks.

The opponent's gaze flickered; he saw countless openings in that strike and was about to exploit one of them, but as the blade closed in, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat. This strike seemed unvaried and full of flaws, yet it conveyed the meaning of supreme simplicity.

What was crucial were the speed and the power!

A seemingly light strike, yet it appeared to carry the might of cleaving open the heavens and splitting seas!

Unable to dodge it, the opponent managed to raise his sword in an attempt to block, only for it to shatter on impact. As his eyes widened in shock, the long blade cut him in two!

His figure instantly dissolved into scattering light.

"The winner of this fight is[Ji Jingqiu]."

Following the system's prompt, standing upon the arena, Ji Jingqiu looked bewildered.

That's it?

The slice he delivered would have only cut through the flesh over the knuckles and reached the bone of the opponent on the seventh level.

Perhaps…

He should hold back some strength and focus purely on martial arts to refine himself.

...

Sect name: Arrogant Sun of This Era

[Sword Heart Clarity]: Latest news, Mr. Ji has entered the virtual arena.

[I Have a Spear]: I'll go first.

[Fen Qinzhu He]: Interesting, I want to be a part of this too, haven't fought in the virtual arena in a while, hope I can match with him.

[Idle and Bored]: Count me in when idle.

——[I Have a Spear]changed the group name to "Sniping Ji Exchange Group"——

...

Su Qiming received a message and instantly exclaimed, dragged Ge Hong, and said excitedly:

"Old Ge! Yin Wushuang from the Heavenly Sword Dojo and Diao Xingyun from the Mystic Sky Dojo have entered the virtual arena, and they've even matched with each other! The fight is about to start! Hurry up and tell Mr. Ji to withdraw so we can go watch!"

Ge Hong was immediately invigorated: "I'll notify Ji right now!"

"Wait a second..."

Just as Ge Hong was about to send the message.

Su Qiming suddenly called out, looking a bit miffed, "Never mind, they both withdrew."

"Huh?" Ge Hong was confused, "They withdraw after matching? Then why did they match?"

"Probably don't want to fight each other, I guess."

Su Qiming suddenly received another message and excitedly said:

"Zhang Wuwei from the Taisu Society and Bian Rong from the Heavenly God Dojo got matched, and the latter is a master who stepped into the [Mingxin] tier!"

"Wait, Zhang Wuwei has withdrawn."

"From the Heavenly Sword Dojo..."

"Eh, these two have also withdrawn..."

Ge Hong scratched his head, somewhat unable to make sense of these Zhaoist-level geniuses' way of thinking.

It's quite strange indeed, why are so many Daoist-level martial artists out and about flexing their muscles today?
