Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 94 - 87: First Battle of the Four Guardian Stars
Visualization Map browsed.
Ji Jingqiu turned to flip through the rankings of Cultivation Bodies and Combat Skills.
Strictly speaking, the rankings of cultivation techniques and combat skills on the Divine Skill List are not listed in any specific order.
He first found the two most famous body skills of the Mu Family.
[Great Sun Tathagata Body]and[Immovable Ming King Body].
The exclusive cultivation technique of the Dragon Tiger Dojo is [Dragon Tiger Cultivation Body].
However, he heard from Master Yang that including other superior cultivation inheritances, the Dragon Tiger Dojo directly or indirectly controls a total of seven!
It can only be said that it is worthy of the heritage of an age-old dojo!
He is prepared to go for a cultivation body compatibility test today to confirm what is most suitable for himself and then proceed with preparations.
Suddenly, a message popped up.
[Ge Hong requests to add you as a friend, with a note saying "Mr. Ji, I am also from Star Division, can we have a match?"]
Here it comes.
The expected challenge has arrived!
Ji Jingqiu sent a message to his strategic partner.
A minute later, Lou Qinglan replied, along with a detailed profile.
After reading it, Ji Jingqiu understood the details within.
This warrior named Ge Hong is a fighting fanatic who has challenged almost all the contracted martial artists at the Star Division, including two other warriors who have Broken Five Limitations.
Moreover, Ge Hong had exclusive access to the third private training ground, and his strength is well recognized.
His arrival, whether due to his own fighting desires or some perks about to be stripped away, has determined the eruption of this challenge.
Ji Jingqiu replied to Ge Hong accepting the challenge.
This was a battle completely within expectations.
Before coming, he and Lou Qinglan had already discussed the situations they would face and had even imagined the worst-case scenarios.
When it comes to the distribution of resources, no one would easily bow their heads.
Ji Jingqiu stood up, stretched lazily, and his body and fighting spirit reached their peak simultaneously.
Even not speaking of the competition for resources.
He came to the central area to test and improve with warriors of the same generation, didn't he?
Naturally, there was no reason to refuse a challenge.
In fact, he was looking forward to a battle with the two other Five Limits warriors even more.
Ji Jingqiu stepped out of the room, following the virtual projection guidance within the base, and headed towards the third private training ground.
A tall and robust man standing over two meters tall was in the middle of the ground, his shoulders broad and formidable, like a wall standing there. Even from a distance, one could feel the amazing blood vitality radiating from his solid body.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at him and thought that if this man were in ancient times and clad in heavy armor, he would certainly be an unbeatable general.
Seeing Ji Jingqiu entering the ground, Ge Hong, whom he met for the first time, saluted with his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Is this Mr. Ji? I'm Ge Hong. I broke the fourth limit during Body Refining and have now broken the True Seed, starting to forge my Cultivation Body, progress is 19%, specializing in Cross Training and fist techniques, please advise."
Ji Jingqiu entered the arena and glanced around.
At the entrance where he arrived, there were quite a few figures appearing, clearly here to watch the excitement after hearing the news.
"Please advise," Ji Jingqiu returned the greeting.
Ge Hong once again spoke seriously: "Mr. Ji, it's normal if you find me abrupt, but I fear that in a few days, either my cultivation body progress will exceed 30%, reaching a small achievement, making it unfair to fight; or Mr. Ji will start forging a superior cultivation body, and I won't even qualify to challenge."
The candid words from the opponent reminded Ji Jingqiu of the information sent by Lou Qinglan—
Ge Hong came from an agricultural planet, his family had been farmers for generations, and others often judged him as simple and honest...
Ji Jingqiu responded with a smile: "I've come to the central area to exchange blows with my peers. I hope we both have a fulfilling time today!"
"Alright!" Ge Hong's figure slightly sank, he took a combat stance, and said solemnly, "Mr. Ji, be careful!"
After saying that, Ge Hong launched an offense, one person moving forward, giving Ji Jingqiu an illusion of a mountain collapsing.
Undoubtedly, Ge Hong also mastered a type of Divine Form, perfectly condensing his spirited aura into the attack. After reaching the Divine Travel Realm, incorporating his own imagined creations, he could force the opponent to fail just with his imposing presence.
In a blink of an eye, under an eerie shadow, Ge Hong had already advanced to a close distance.
Ge Hong's punch was like a giant stone, bombing outright in a grandiose style.
In the roaring wind of the punch, Ji Jingqiu moved like a fish in water, not only dodging Ge Hong's blow but also maneuvering to his side.
He chose not to resist directly, but instead, skillfully used the stepping techniques he had surreptitiously learned from Ji Anming on the spaceship.
Ge Hong's arms swelled with muscles, veins bulging with each fully powered punch, his eyes fiercely determined. It seemed as if each fist was endowed with life, embodying his unique will.
But Ji Jingqiu navigated through the wind of fists, always dodging at critical moments, making it seem effortless, which caused Ge Hong to feel like he had power but nowhere to apply it.
However, he did not lose his patience. For a warrior of his ilk, often encountering martial artists with agile and varied forms, should he admit defeat every time?
It was a test of who had more patience!
Ji Jingqiu also figured it out; this man followed a similar path to the eldest fellow disciple, that of a war fortress.
The ultimate paths of martial arts converge by using the human form to govern the laws of Heaven and Earth, which is the path of masters.
But before this, there are many focused developments.
Like the main focus on Cross Training in war fortresses, or the main attackers who insist on relentless attacks, or those who don't act unless necessary but when they do, they decide victory in critical moments with a fatal blow.
"Mr. Ge, it's definitely not enjoyable for you to fight like this; let's have some head-on clashes."
Ji Jingqiu suddenly stopped.
His inner muscles roared like dragons, bones crackling loudly, spine chaining through sections as if a trapped dragon was awakening within him, his aura soaring in a blink!
"Alright, I'm here!"
Ge Hong laughed heartily, punching with the momentum of thunder, heavy and swift. His punch swayed Ji Jingqiu's clothes and hair!
Ji Jingqiu did not dodge this time, his fingers curled into a fist, feet rooted to the ground, Qi settling in his Dantian, his inner Qi force rushing out like a flood.
He met the punch head-on!
When the fists collided, a burst of white Qi exploded.
Merely the size of fists, Ge Hong's fist was nearly twice as big as Ji Jingqiu's. The disparity in size was visually striking.
However, under this punch, Ji Jingqiu only took one step back to steady himself, while Ge Hong staggered back three steps barely managing to stabilize himself, his face flushed red, and he bellowed:
"Thrilling, let's go again!"
Ji Jingqiu steadied himself, stepped forward, and quickly reached Ge Hong.
With his inherent speed, he seized the advantage, delivering a simple but direct punch to the chest!
This punch was as fast as lightning and as heavy as a mountain, bearing an overwhelming force!
Ge Hong's eyes widened, as if he saw a towering mountain far greater than himself standing before him.
He desperately mobilized his inner Qi force, enveloping his body's strength, meeting the punch with all his might, shouting angrily only when he could spare the effort, continually exerting his strength to wrestle with Ji Jingqiu.
But then, in the next moment, the overwhelming force cascaded down, crushing all in its path, sending Ge Hong uncontrollably flying backward, stumbling to stabilize himself after retreating seven or eight steps.
Ji Jingqiu also stepped back to dissipate the force.
The specially made training ground bore a shallow footprint.
After that punch, Ji Jingqiu did not plan to stop. After dissipating the counter-shock, his spinal column undulated like a flood dragon, he moved forward and launched another punch.
Ge Hong managed to catch it, his fist numb, chest churning with Qi and blood, retreating to the edge of the training ground.
"I give up, I give up!"
Back against the wall, Ge Hong hurriedly waved his hands, his extended breaths sounding like thunder.
He expressed his admiration:
"Mr. Ji's footwork is agile and varied, and your punches are terrifyingly heavy! So fierce! I'm convinced! Especially the last three punches, exhilarating! Truly exhilarating! Hahaha!"
"I've challenged Mr. Zhang before, but Mr. Ji's punches are even heavier than Mr. Zhang's back then!"
Patting his chest, he seemed to recall something, adding,
"No, much heavier! As for Gong Chen, I haven't faced him directly, so I'm not sure, but no one is fiercer than Mr. Zhang, let alone Mr. Ji!"
He raised his thumb: "I'm truly impressed!"
Ji Jingqiu calmed his inner Qi force.
Ge Hong obviously belonged to those with a special Innate Physique, although far from reaching War Body Martial Bone, he was still much stronger than other martial artists in the same realm, with his painstakingly forged Horizontal Training strengthening his physique even further.
Based solely on physical toughness, he could probably withstand the untrained Five Limits, no wonder he enjoyed exclusive use of the third personal training ground.
Ji Jingqiu increasingly felt the disparity in cultivation techniques and combat skills, akin to comparing an unarmed warrior to one armed to the teeth.
"Don't mention it! How about we compete again after Mr. Ge reaches Great Success with your cultivation body!"
Ge Hong's eyes lit up: "Alright, alright!"
Ji Jingqiu chuckled; this person really had a sincere nature, a pure fighting fanatic.
"By the way, Mr. Ji, you haven't registered at White Jade City yet, have you?" Ge Hong suddenly remembered.
"Not yet." Ji Jingqiu replied.
He had just arrived this morning and there were still many tedious registrations of personal information. However, Vice President Zhang had confidently assured him that it would be handled.
"You should definitely go soon!" Ge Hong's eyes were filled with sincerity, "The earlier you go, the more you enjoy!"
The earlier you go, the more you enjoy?
Ji Jingqiu momentarily placed himself in Ge Hong's perspective.
Hmm, does he mean fighting?
"Alright, I'll go when I'm free."
Ge Hong grinned: "I'm heading back now, but later on, if Mr. Ji wants to fight, just call me!"
Loosening his muscles, Ge Hong strode towards the door.
As he approached, the crowd bustling at the entrance instantly dispersed.
Ji Jingqiu didn't rush to leave. He stood still and replied to a message from Lou Qinglan, indicating that the issue had been resolved.
Moments later, Lou Qinglan replied: "Shall we match the cultivation technique today?"
Ji Jingqiu immediately responded: "Sure!"
A superior cultivation body, naturally the preparatory steps were cumbersome, earlier started, earlier progressed.
He aimed to forge his cultivation body before Master Yang broke through the Heart Image, to surprise his senior brother.
Lou Qinglan: "I'll send someone to pick you up, we'll go together, I have something to discuss with you on the way."
He put away the terminal.
Ji Jingqiu raised his right hand, fingers spread wide, the sparks of light flickering like electric fire.
This thing, called Heart Electricity by Zhang Yaode, was also a special product of the Four Guardian Stars.
That was probably why Vice President Zhang took the initiative to tackle the trivialities for him, all thanks to this device.
And perhaps it was an illusion.
After the three face-to-face punches with Ge Hong, this so-called Heart Electricity seemed...
to have grown slightly stronger?
