Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 103 - 92: Dream God, First Ascension to White Jade City_2

Su Qiming had not yet sat down when a friend called out his name from not far away, a helpless expression on his face:

"Old Ge, Old Ji, let's get together next time."

After saying goodbye, he hurriedly headed towards the voice calling him.

"Ran into a friend again?" Qiao Buyan teased with a chuckle, "You really have friends everywhere."

Su Qiming scratched his head and said, "Well, friends are good as long as we get along. That one just now is Old Ge from Star Group, and a new Martial Artist named Ji Jingqiu. Do you want me to introduce you?"

"Star Group?" Qiao Buyan immediately shook his head, "Not interested. If I recall, they didn't produce many powerful people this session, did they? Out of the only two Five Limit Martial Artists, one barely reached the Fourth Floor and then rushed to forge their Cultivation Body. What was the name of the other one? Seems even more useless, a proud Five Limit, reached the Fourth Floor but didn't continue to try."

Su Qiming argued, "This one's not bad, he's a Martial Artist who has broken through the Five Limits."

Qiao Buyan shrugged, "Whatever. Five Limits is just the bottom line, I hope he can reach the Fifth Floor. I'm getting ready to go to the arena, are you coming or not?"

Hearing about a combat opportunity, Su Qiming immediately got excited, "Together. Have you made a breakthrough recently?"

"Yes!" Qiao Buyan grinned, "I feel that before long, I'll be able to try challenging the Sixth Limit, striving to last three minutes to pass the test."

"Have you heard about that person from Dragon Tiger Dojo?"

"You mean the Seventh Floor?" Qiao Buyan shook his head, "Rumored to have taken a shortcut, lasted three minutes, passed the Seventh Floor."

"It's hard to know just how strong the people guarding the Seventh Floor really are if so many powerful ones have to resort to tricks to pass." Su Qiming lamented.

Qiao Buyan snickered, "Once I've taken a shortcut past the Sixth Floor, I'll let you know what it's like."

...

From Old Ge, Ji Jingqiu roughly understood the meaning of the nine levels.

The first nine floors, each Limit corresponding to one floor.

Starting from the Sixth Floor, it's either Martial Artists with Innate Martial Bone or Innate Battle Bodies who are Five Limits, or Martial Artists whose skills have reached a certain level.

In theory, a strong enough Five Limit Martial Artist could pass the Seventh Floor!

"What about the Eighth and Ninth Floors?" Ji Jingqiu asked, puzzled.

"Supposedly they're prepared for the legendary Sixth Limit." Ge Hong explained, "Anyways, no one has broken through yet. Currently, passing the Seventh Floor is the top tier."

The Seventh Floor is the top tier?

Ji Jingqiu's spirits were immediately lifted.

After waiting for ten minutes, the Intelligent Dream God beside him reminded him it was time to enter the Mind Cabin.

After saying goodbye to Ge Hong, Ji Jingqiu followed the instructions and walked deeper inside, entering an empty Mind Cabin.

"Welcome to the virtual environment—"

Along with the gentle prompt in his ears.

His consciousness entered another world, somewhat like stepping into the Sea of Souls, but even more realistic because he could still sense the presence of his physical body.

It was an arena with no audiences.

One hundred meters in length and width, the surface was covered in cracks of varying depth, as if it had been trampled upon countless times, and the air seemed to still carry the scent of blood and sweat from the previous battle.

[Please select your weapon]

Ji Jingqiu chose a saber; his proficiency with the blade had now surpassed his hand-to-hand combat skills.

[First Floor, countdown timer at 59...]

Looking at the Martial Artist who appeared not far away, Ji Jingqiu slowly exhaled, warming up his muscles and joints.

This body seemed no different from reality, unbelievably similar; he wondered how the Mind Cabin had replicated it.

The battle erupted quickly.

Ji Jingqiu ended the fight with just one slash.

This sort of smooth progress continued all the way to the Fifth Floor.

The Martial Artist on the Fifth Floor was not inferior to any of the Heavenly Persons of the Five Limits.

Then came the Sixth Floor.

The Sixth Floor posed some trouble for Ji Jingqiu.

Had it been a few days ago, he might have been drawn into a protracted battle.

But now, after paying a certain price, he successfully defeated his opponent.

Then came the Seventh Floor.

Ji Jingqiu noticed that the injuries he received had healed on their own upon entering the Seventh Floor.

The Seventh Floor...

Still a lone figure.

When he saw the figure standing in the middle, Ji Jingqiu's pupils suddenly dilated.

It was a young person of a similar age to him, unforgettable at first glance.

It wasn't any otherworldly beauty, but a domineering and unrivaled arrogance, a loftiness that seemed to have been seared deep into the soul.

He had never seen such a person before, as if the word 'wild and domineering' was branded into their very essence.

Even without doing or saying anything, that disdainful smile and the surging, tumultuous Fist Intent were clear as day!

With the battle countdown underway.

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his state, raised his sword to meet the challenge, and prepared for the imminent battle.

What welcomed him was a Direct Punch.

It seemed unremarkable, without the slightest variation, merely fast enough, heavy enough, direct enough, it swept in with the force of thunder and wind!

The next moment.

Ji Jingqiu's vision darkened, and he heard the cracking of his arm bones.

Heavy!

Fast!

He had never seen such a punch!

Before he could react, the next punch was already upon him!

...

Ji Jingqiu suddenly sat up in the Mind Cabin.

After three punches, he was out.

To put it nicely, he had "withstood" three punches.

In reality, it was as if he was passively hit by three punches; the sword techniques he had been practicing these days were full of mistakes in front of this person's fists, leaving him no chance to fight back.

Who is this person?!

Taking a long breath, adjusting his state, Ji Jingqiu was keen to re-enter, but after death, each person must wait 24 hours before they can enter again.

After exiting the Mind Cabin, Ji Jingqiu's brow was tightly furrowed.

"Ji! How did it go?" Ge Hong had been squatting outside for a long time, and when he saw Ji Jingqiu come out, he quickly approached.

Ji Jingqiu asked, "Old Ge, have you ever heard of anyone passing the Seventh Floor?"

"The Seventh Floor?" Ge Hong blinked in surprise and exclaimed, "Ji, have you already passed the Sixth Floor? I knew you could do it! Mr. Zhang only made it to the fifth level!"

"The Seventh Floor..." Ge Hong tried to recall, then confidently said, "Surely there are those who have passed. Not long ago, someone from the Dragon Tiger Dojo broke through the seventh level. I've heard that the very top group is trying to breach the Eighth Floor."

Someone from the Dragon Tiger Dojo broke through the Seventh Floor?

This news revitalized Ji Jingqiu's spirit.

If someone has passed, it proves that it's not an insurmountable level!

After practicing martial arts for so long, he finally found his first target to chase—

He is going to conquer the Seventh Floor! Wash away the shame of those three punches!

Martial skills... that's what he could improve right now!

"Old Ge, I won't be returning to the company tonight, I need to step out."

Ji Jingqiu said his goodbyes to Ge Hong and hurriedly headed for the sparring room.

Watching Ji Jingqiu depart in urgency, Ge Hong was puzzled.

He had wanted to take Ji out to celebrate.

This was the Sixth Floor of White Jade City!

Among the martial artists recruited by Star Group, it had been many years since one had reached the Sixth Floor!

"Old Ge! Shall we go eat together?" Su Qiming's voice came from behind, "Hey, where's Old Ji?"

Ge Hong turned around and saw that there were other people with Su Qiming, and nodded, "Ji had to leave for something."

"How far did Old Ji get?" Su Qiming asked curiously; he felt that Ji should have no problem reaching the Fifth Floor, based on his understanding of Ge Hong.

Ge Hong only calls someone brother if he truly respects them.

Qiao Buyan suddenly nudged Su Qiming with his elbow, speaking with a tone of doubt, "Old Su, did you say the newcomer at Star Group is called Ji Jingqiu?"

"Yes, what about it?" Su Qiming turned back in surprise.

Qiao Buyan opened a terminal Projection, which showed the recent clearance records from the White Jade City system.

New to the Sixth Floor: Ji Jingqiu, Star Group.

...

Sparring room.

After battling for several hours.

On the wall riddled with cracks, more sword marks were added.

On the uneven ground, Zhuang Butong sat cross-legged, his breathing slightly erratic, stabilizing after a moment.

His voice hoarse, he hesitantly asked, "In these three days, just how many sword techniques have you actually learned?"
