Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 314 - 162 Everyone Laughs at Zhang Sandao_2

"Ji, have you already attained the Innate Taoist Body?" Yin Wushuang's gaze was fervent as he went straight to the point.

They had originally wanted to come yesterday, but considering Ji Jingqiu had just returned, they feared he might need to stabilize and rest, hence they delayed until this morning.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, his hands itching for action as he said, "Gentlemen, would you like to test out your skills?"

"We'll stop at the first touch," Yin Wushuang declared, but he was already eager and impatient, taking the lead with a step forward.

"Yin, please!"

"Good!"

Yin Wushuang wasted no words, stepping forward, his body erupting with Sword Qi, initiating with [Path Cutting and Seeing Me]!

In the void, Ji Jingqiu seemed to see a Sword Embryo, undulating within Yin Wushuang's Spirit God, supremely sharp and pointed!

The next moment, clear and dim, pure and bright sword light suddenly arrived, slashing directly at Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu stood his ground, not retreating a step, only using the Zen Meditation Seal to guard his Spirit God.

The Sword Qi was formless, as if it slashed not at the flesh, but at the spirit. freewebnøvel.coɱ

A flicker of surprise crossed Yin Wushuang's eyes.

Ji Jingqiu catching his sword strike was not a surprise, but not dodging or avoiding it, nearly taking it head-on without injury, was outrageous!

The Innate Taoist Body, could it even strengthen spiritual defenses?

Ji Jingqiu was well aware of the truth.

Spiritual Firmness, impervious to water and fire, life unending, the gap between the two was simply too large; even a Heart Sword nurturing a Sword Embryo could hardly inflict serious damage on himself with the Zen Meditation Seal in place as a precaution.

Yin Wushuang's expression became serious, about to let Ji Jingqiu witness his progress over these times, when suddenly from the main entrance a loud voice came through.

"Is Ji Jingqiu here? I am Chen Yueshan, here to learn a thing or two!"

Seeing Ji Jingqiu's slightly surprised expression, Yue Yourong transmitted a message to him, "A veteran Bright Moon Martial Artist, you need to be prepared. There are quite a few Martial Artists who have come to the East Three Bright Star, and if they can't find Daoist Collection, they'll probably want to practice with you. After all, your reputation is now quite prominent."

Ji Jingqiu raised his eyebrows.

He was indeed keen on challenging the strong from all quarters, to first become the foremost person of the younger generation in the Federation, and then to go to the Nine States and venture the Inheritance Ancient Road.

"Chen, please come in."

After a short while, a young man with an extremely strong presence and distinguished bearing strode in; his gaze swept past Yin Wushuang and the others, and he said with a grin:

"It seems, I, Chen, am not the only one here; I wonder what process Ji here has prepared."

"No procedure necessary," Ji Jingqiu spoke with a brilliant smile, "I accept all challenges, we can start immediately, Chen, please."

Chen Yueshan's gaze turned solemn, sensing from Ji Jingqiu an intense confidence, along with an almost imperceptible yet encompassing oppressive atmosphere that enveloped the entire Martial Arts Hall.

This was the first time he felt such a degree of oppression from a peer Martial Artist, as if he was challenging one of the older generation!

"Good!" His expression serious, he took a step forward, his body's momentum surging, his right fist like a fleeting gleam, astonishing the mundane world, Qi Force tearing through the air.

The fierce and brave force of this punch caused Diao Xingyun and the others nearby to inwardly shudder, thinking to themselves that the veteran Bright Moon was indeed not so in name only.

The next moment.

A hand lifted up, Qi Force swirling, Chen Yueshan's full-powered punch instantly dissipated.

Ji Jingqiu caught Chen Yueshan's punch, as swift as a fleeting gleam, with a single hand.

Chen Yueshan's expression stalled, he took a deep breath, his Spirit God steady, not giving up; driving his secret technique, his fist like a glimmer, roaring forth like a multitude of moths to the flame.

With a punch of Dragon Tiger Qi Force, Ji Jingqiu blasted all the floating gleams away, and in the third exchange, defeated Chen Yueshan.

Chen Yueshan looked dumbfounded; he had anticipated that he might lose, but never expected the defeat to be so swift!

"Chen, you have yielded," said Ji Jingqiu gently.

Chen Yueshan took a deep breath and saluted, "Today, I've learned my lesson!"

Watching Chen Yueshan leave, Diao Xingyun for a moment did not speak with his usual teasing, but appeared astounded instead.

This gap... seemed extraordinarily large.

"Diao, please help spread the word for me. I am here, accepting challenges from all peer Martial Artists," Ji Jingqiu suddenly said.

The others were shaken, looking at Ji Jingqiu who stood calm and collected under the skylight, his figure as if blending with the sunlight, radiant as the bright sun.

...

...

"This old man has been polite, but this kid really doesn't show any courtesy?" Long Qingyang pondered, "Aside from the Innate Taoist Body, what other surprises might there be?"

His eyes suddenly showed a strange light.

"Could it be that this boy really has earned Marshal He's favor?"

"Impossible..."

He seemed a bit distracted, and several old friends in the projection communication noticed his unusual demeanor.

The Ancestor Master of the Mystic Sky Dojo, Qi Shan called out:

"Qingyang, what's wrong?"

Long Qingyang came back to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing, let's continue with the important matters."

Qi Shan cleared his throat and said with a composed expression: "As we discussed before, each of our families will contribute one tenth, with your Dragon Tiger Dojo taking one and a half tenths; the rest is to be decided."

Long Qingyang sneered, "My Dragon Tiger Dojo is contributing manpower and effort, and all you are doing is cheering from behind, and you only want to take half a tenth less than me?"

Qi Shan answered meticulously, "Once we have secured the rights to explore the gateways, the manpower provided by our families will be identical, there will be no unfairness in efforts made."

Long Qingyang's eyelids twitched, "Little Qi, your Mystic Sky Dojo is becoming more and more shameless these years. If I get the rights to explore the gateways, why would I lack manpower?"

Qi Shan of the Mystic Sky Dojo, chuckled and said, "Let's not talk that way, without the support of our families, do you think you could get that seed slot?"

"Why not?" Long Qingyang said indifferently, "Not to boast, but that kid, in this era, he's certainly not invincible, but at least top three. A seed slot is surely within easy reach."
