Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 100 - 91: Aspiring to Establish a New Sect in the Martial Arts World

Ji Jingqiu walked down the middle of the alley, recalling the gains of the day in his mind.

Unnoticed, five or six figures blocked his path ahead, their expressions cold and severe.

They slowly closed in, apparently aiming to exert mental pressure on Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu looked up: "Do you gentlemen need something?"

"Brother, let's discuss a favor, help us out, and stop coming around here, can you do that?" The leader, with a rugged build, looked polite but was actually overbearing.

Ji Jingqiu's expression immediately became subtle.

Was this the trouble Zhuang Butong had mentioned?

Did he desecrate someone's ancestral grave or what?

Were these people constantly watching outside the door?

This was no longer a simple conflict; they wanted him dead...

After considering for a moment, he simply said, "Okay."

The leader was taken aback and said with a forced smile, "Brother, don't joke with us. It's not funny."

Ji Jingqiu glanced at him, sighed, and his figure suddenly burst forth, disappearing from the spot.

In the rugged man's pupils, a fist suddenly appeared, growing bigger and bigger before his eyes!

Arm like a bow, fist like a hammer!

The rugged man's pupils dilated rapidly, but it was too late to dodge. His feet parted slightly, and he lowered his center of gravity, facing the punch with his own, his expression ferocious.

The next moment, a cracking sound of bones came from the rugged man's arm, his expression turned to one of terror, and a single thought crossed his mind—

How could it be so fast? So heavy?!

"Damn, this kid dares to fight back!"

"Everyone, get him!"

Faced with the ambush in the alley, Ji Jingqiu activated the Divine Tiger Combat Skill. His presence became as fierce as a tiger's, bold and intense. In just an instant, he repelled three men.

At that moment, a ferocious punch locked on to him.

Among them, the tallest figure sunk his Qi into the Dantian, and his punch came down heavy like a rolling stone!

Facing this punch, Ji Jingqiu neither dodged nor avoided, clashing head-on, and with a loud bang, both fists collided heavily.

At his realm, he didn't need to fear anyone. Even Zhuang Butong, daring to contest him head-on in this narrow alley, would only invite regret.

The tall man paused for a moment, his eyes full of shock, and his arm made a cracking sound.

He hadn't expected Ji Jingqiu's mere physical strength to overpower even his own small achievement in cultivation!

In the blink of an eye, most of the opponents were down, either clutching their arms or lying on the ground holding their chests. Ji Jingqiu glanced at them without joy, but instead sighed, once again acutely aware of the gap between his own Martial Arts and that of Zhuang Butong.

In Martial Arts competition, victory and defeat are determined by many factors.

But at his level, the basics boil down to two points:

Physique, Combat Skill.

Before cultivating a Cultivation Body, one can only learn Lower Rank combat skills.

The principle of Lower Rank Combat Skills is about exerting strength, key to Qi Force circulation.

Yet, having achieved Spiritual Residence, his control over his physical body far exceeded his peers'. Having acquired the fundamental Combat Skill from Dragon Tiger Dojo, in theory, there was no need to waste time on other Lower Rank combat skills.

A single Divine Tiger Combat Skill matched with the Residence level of cultivation was enough.

Just like now, with his physique and the Divine Tiger Combat Skill, he moved through them as a tiger among wolves, none were his match.

But he pondered—

What if he were facing Zhuang Butong with a sword?

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Even if he was faster and stronger, it would all be in vain, because Zhuang Butong never confronted him head-on.

On one hand, he indeed hadn't learned any Sword Skill; on the other, it was Zhuang Butong's overwhelming Martial Arts expertise.

This was more than just a comparison of combat skills' power; it was pure technical dominance.

In Zhuang Butong, Ji Jingqiu perceived another charm of Martial Arts.

Not a competition of numbers or physique but technique, even... Dharma?

Shaking his head, Ji Jingqiu walked past the few men, still contemplating the names of the several sword techniques sent by Zhuang Butong.

"Brother, you are strong, but this is not your waters to wade through! You should have heard of [Xinzhai Dojo]! Think thrice before you act!"

"Next time it won't be just us!"

Behind him, the first rugged man on the ground, though pale, mustered the strength to shout.

Ji Jingqiu waved his hand and went straight away.

After leaving the long alley, Ji Jingqiu sent a message to Zhou Zhongda, explaining what had just happened.

"You're that efficient?!"

"Alright, alright. I love your proactive attitude! Remember to come pick up the Visualization Map in a week! I'll exchange the related Taboo knowledge for you as well!"

"One million... send me the transfer screenshot, I'll help you file for reimbursement."

"Xinzhai Dojo? This dojo is formidable, but with your strength, you needn't worry, right? According to the rules of the Four Guardian Stars, neither Divine Travel nor Martial Artists who have already crafted a superior cultivation body will come for you."

"If you encounter someone you can't beat, try to muddle the waters as much as possible. Once it's muddy, it's easier for me to get someone to deal with them! If the water isn't muddy enough, it's hard to tell at a glance that you're from the Administration Bureau..."

After ending the call with Zhou Zhongda.

Ji Jingqiu pondered again for a moment and sent a message to Master Yang, asking about some of his current doubts.

A short while later, Master Yang replied:

"The cultivation of combat skills is never about biting off more than one can chew, especially in the early stages of practice; it's unwise to waste time on this path."

"However, there's indeed another saying—Melt a hundred scriptures, and you're on the path of a master."

"The Martial Arts of the world are as vast as the sea. If one could meld the strengths of a hundred schools into oneself, one could grasp the essence of Martial Arts. Take note, this path seeks the level of technique, not the mastery of more combat skills."

"In your case, Divine Tiger Combat Skill will suffice until your cultivation body is fully formed, and once you've crafted your superior cultivation body, there will be matching superior combat skills. This path is what I believe suits you best."
