Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 55 - 52: Unreasonable

The path to Breaking Limit, whether it's the Qi Blood Rushing Method, Life and Death Skill, or Reserve Power Breaking Method, can actually be divided into two categories.

One is Water Drops Stone.

The other is unreasonable.

The Qi Blood Rushing Method is representative of the Water Drops Stone approach.

This path is the most balanced and even-keeled, emphasizing gradual progress, either whittling down with time or spending money to buy secret medicine to replenish qi and blood.

In contrast, the Life and Death Skill is the most extreme, gaining great enlightenment between life and death. Although it has a high mortality rate, it is said that someone used this method to breakthrough three limits within a month, making breakthroughs as easy as drinking water and eating meals—it's utterly unreasonable.

Some say this is a heretical secret technique inherited from the Pile Skill.

However, Pile Skill still has secret medicine to remedy deficiencies, but there is no regret medicine for the Life and Death Skill.

Ji Jingqiu pursued the Reserve Power Breaking Method, which is a combination of the two methods.

Generally, it also follows the path of Water Drops Stone.

But compared to the Qi Blood Rushing Method, it is much more perilous.

Using the heart as a whetstone, the damage is not visible on the surface, but in reality, there is still daily loss.

Although it does not lead to death, if too much Heart Qi is consumed excessively, the Martial Artist loses their Heart Qi, competes in nothing, just like a tiger that has lost its fangs...

Yang Yao, recalling the past critical moments, arranged a detailed lesson plan for his younger brother, allowing ample time for the recovery of sharp Qi in his heart.

Though the master only asked him to teach his junior brother the Combat Skill.

Yang Yao feels that, like his junior brother, he is likely to compete with the most dazzling peers in the central area in the future.

The central area is the paradise of Martial Arts, a place where Group Stars gather.

Thus, some disciplines become very necessary.

Today's Federation, especially in the central area, features competition among Martial Arts peers primarily through survival battles rather than many platform matches, which test survival.

Fights in survival battles lack the relative fairness of platform matches, only one creates fairness and advantages for themselves.

This kind of competition tests all aspects of a Martial Artist's capabilities.

For example, basic wilderness survival knowledge is essential.

At least you need to distinguish what can be eaten.

So Yang Yao plans to reproduce the educational process that Bage once implemented on him, making his junior brother a versatile talent for the new era.

It just so happens that the junior brother practices the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade.

Once he depletes his Heart Qi, he can start his lessons.

After Heart Qi is restored, then resume sharpening.

A perfect cycle.

Yang Yao, since last night, has been revisiting and gaining new insights, recalling the difficulties of the past, and has been busy until now, only to preliminarily finish planning.

He stood up, facing the immortal Arrogant Sun outside the window, full of lofty sentiments, ready to seek out his junior brother.

Ji Jingqiu is still in the room at this point.

He didn't go back last night, so Yang Yao personally cleaned a room for him.

Just approaching the door, without waiting for Yang Yao to knock and speak.

A sharp sound of a knife slicing through the air reached his ears.

The knife sound was extremely light, like a thin thread, yet it pierced through every speck of dust, like revolving airflow, endlessly looping around.

It wasn't high-pitched, but clear as the sound of metal, enduring continuously, unlike anything Yang Yao had seen or heard before.

Under the clear knife sound, Yang Yao faintly felt his whole Cultivation Body involuntarily resonating for a moment.

Immediately afterward, a mysterious Qi force suddenly transmitted from inside the room.

As someone who has been through it, Yang Yao knew all too well what this strand of Qi force represented!

This is Heavenly Gate!

Ji Jingqiu was sharpening his knife to breakthrough the Heavenly Gate!

One day of knife sharpening for a breakthrough...

What is unreasonable?

This is it.

Yang Yao suddenly thought.

Perhaps...

No, it should be highly probable.

Ji Jingqiu has a high probability of reaching the height of a Martial Arts Master, becoming an existence that the world looks up to.

And by then,

"Those Years I Chastised My Master's Younger Brother"

should be serializing hotly.

Yang Yao quietly waited for his junior brother to adjust his state, his breath to stabilize, then he knocked on the door, smiling warmly:

"Jingqiu, let's go, your senior brother will teach you now."

...

"Senior brother, just now..."

"Junior brother! To summarize Combat Skill in essence, it's just two words—power and technique.

Strength is the method of exerting force, and the control over one's body.

Skill refers to technique, that is, the so-called Combat Skill.

If these two are matched as a set, they would be collectively classified under Combat Skill."

"Senior brother, I seem to have..."

"It's a pity that you haven't practiced 'Starving Tiger Holding a Knife'!

Our lineage's Combat Skill is very compatible with 'Starving Tiger Holding a Knife'."

"Senior brother, listen to me..."

"I will teach you the skills of exerting force in the morning, and start cultural lessons in the afternoon."

"Senior brother, what... cultural lessons?"

…

Next to the training field.

Zhang Xingshan stopped practicing his stance, his gaze puzzledly fixed on Luo Xi.

The latter was equally confused, shaking his head indicating he had no idea what was happening.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to want to say something, but his senior brother repeatedly raised his volume, seemingly on purpose to prevent him from speaking.

…

"Yes, cultural lessons." Yang Yao nodded, "For example, you need to memorize the complete encyclopedia specifically for Martial Artists which is for preparing you to compete with your peers in the future."

"Why memorize this, isn't it all about arena fights?" Ji Jingqiu was baffled.

"The arena fights are there, but not many are left. In the dispute of Martial Arts, where do so many fair duels come from? It's all about survival now."

Yang Yao, with his hands behind his back, said solemnly:

"Jingqiu, you are a genius. Maybe in one or two years, you could surpass your senior brother."

"Senior brother has thought it over, and the only opportunity is to take these one or two years to be tough on you. This is our lineage's tradition; don't blame your senior brother."

Ji Jingqiu: "…"

"Our lineage's Combat Skill, named Divine Tiger Skill, has a long and illustrious heritage, and is not inferior to any other Martial Arts school."

Yang Yao paused briefly,

"If you encounter Martial Artists claiming to be from Dragon Tiger Dojo in the future, you may address them as brothers."

Dragon Tiger Dojo?

Ji Jingqiu thought, so Master Yang is also from a dojo.

"Divine Tiger Skill has a saying of 'Three Headed Skills God Like Tiger.'

First, the courage and strategic aptitude Godlike to a tiger.

Second, the unusual ferocity and fierceness Godlike to a tiger.

Third, the imposing power mighty Godlike to a tiger."

"Today I'll first teach you the core stance, which is also the foundation of the force exerting skill. This power refers to not only physical strength but also power.

Now that you've started Opening Veins, have you noticed that the Hidden Dragon Stance stimulates your Qi blood less?

Next, I'll teach you the core stance, and afterwards you won't need to practice the Hidden Dragon Stance anymore; just practice the core stance before you refine your True Seed."

Under the guidance of Yang Yao, Ji Jingqiu began learning the core stance of Divine Tiger Skill.

One teaching in detail, the other learning swiftly.

The core stance involved not only the exertion of muscles but also the control of Qi Force throughout the body.

Adding Qi Force to the punches and kicks, the sum is far greater than two.

These past few days, after undergoing Opening Veins and breakthroughs, every punch and kick of Ji Jingqiu carried a powerful force, even he himself was a bit unaccustomed to the huge transformation of his body.

He felt as though he had endless strength in his body, as if every punch and kick could split mountains and rocks.

However, Ji Jingqiu knew very well that it was just an illusion from the sudden enhancement.

He tried to control his Life Body with his mind, and quickly overcame this illusion.

When Yang Yao saw that he had initially mastered the core stance, he was astonished by Ji Jingqiu's Martial Wisdom, and then asked Ji Jingqiu to strike at him.

Ji Jingqiu hesitated, and under his senior brother's pressing and repetitive reminders not to hold back, he struck with full force, but the senior brother caught it single-handedly, standing firm like a stabilizer, unmovable.

Ji Jingqiu felt his punch was like smashing on a mountain, surprised inwardly; considering he was now at the first layer of Breaking Limit, according to the internet, punching through a concrete wall should have been more than enough.

Yang Yao felt the force of the punch, his eyebrows twitched.

This punch was not something a first layer Breaking Limit Martial Artist could produce; it was almost comparable to a second level!

He maintained his composure, nodding in approval: "Good! Your punch is already on par with ordinary Watered-Down True Seeds."

This was almost what Ji Jingqiu had expected.

The so-called Watered-Down True Seeds refer to those who directly condense True Seeds after Opening Veins and who have not yet fashioned a Cultivation Body.

Typically, Martial Artists who open the Heavenly Gate and successfully achieve a breakthrough can easily crush their peers at the same level and stand shoulder to shoulder with True Seeds.

And Yang Yao, having already fashioned a Cultivation Body, was only one step away from the Divine Travel Realm.

Ji Jingqiu had long heard of the importance of a Cultivation Body, but he hadn't expected the gap to be so vast.

A punch on par with an ordinary True Seed, yet unable to move his senior brother even half a step.

No wonder online resources say, nowadays Cultivation Bodies fashioned from Mid-grade or higher Body Skills are comparable to special constitutions of the starry era.

If it's a Superior Body Skill, in the starry era, that would be known as a Sacred Body or a Divine Body!
