Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1551 - 652: Zhao Ji’s Second Weakness

Speaking of which, Zhao Ji paused for a moment, then explained in a more vivid way, "In your human world, you can think of 'Deity' as the administrator of a city or a state."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly at this, indicating he understood.

Seeing that, Zhao Ji continued, "And above Ninth Rank, the 'Heavenly God' is no longer limited by 'regions' and starts to wield part of the 'World Rules.'"

"Each 'Heavenly God' usually has a domain of their own. Within that 'domain,' they are the literal god."

"In your human terms, it's like they've moved into the central government, overseeing a specific vertical sector of the country."

At this, Zhao Ji stood up, looked at Qiu Tu, and kept explaining, "As for 'Heavenly God Skill,' it's a kind of powerful ability that Heavenly Gods get from their controlled domain."

"Under certain conditions, this ability can even be called a 'World Rule.' So, this is what truly separates 'Heavenly Gods' from 'Deities.'"

"World Rules..." Qiu Tu silently mouthed the term.

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, then pointed at the long sword in Qiu Tu's hand and said, "For example, in 'Open Heaven,' it contains the World Rule of 'Sever.'"

"Because of this rule, unless it encounters another rule of the 'same level,' anything will be 'cut through' by it."

"That's what makes this sword technique 'Open Heaven' so insanely powerful."

Finishing up, Zhao Ji's deep, cool gaze landed on Qiu Tu, "So, the fact that you're even a little bit like me is already super rare."

"After all... you resemble not just me, but the World Rules themselves."

After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but blink.

Honestly... after all this, Qiu Tu felt like Zhao Ji had basically one goal: flexing.

But whatever, Qiu Tu had long known Zhao Ji was a total badass.

Fact is, there are always these absolute geniuses in the world who can power-level from First-Order straight to Ninth Rank and be lightyears ahead of their peers.

And Zhao Ji is totally that kind of genius—like, maybe the ultimate among the ultimate geniuses.

Plus... even more important... Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji aren't enemies, and they're definitely not rivals.

Actually, the two of them are partners—straight-up allies.

And the reason Qiu Tu's practicing 'Open Heaven' here isn't to outshine Zhao Ji at all—it's just... he's trying to win Zhao Ji's favorability points.

Honestly, Zhao Ji doesn't really have any other flaw except being super easily swayed if you butter her up. She only ever listens to sweet words.

And if Qiu Tu's good at anything, it's hyping up women. That's his special move!

So what if Zhao Ji wants to flex? Qiu Tu is gonna make sure she flexes nice and comfy.

Thinking like that, Qiu Tu snapped back and let his acting talents max out. He looked at Zhao Ji, showed a shy expression, and said, "Sister Zhaoji, come on, stop flattering me."

"How could I even resemble you by two parts? If I'm just a tiny bit like you, it's enough to make me wake up with a grin."

"Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, none of the gods littering the Boundless Heart Sea could ever compare to a single strand of your hair."

"If they're the stars, endless as the ocean, then you're the blazing sun soaring in the sky, bringing boundless light to the whole Boundless Heart Sea."

Zhao Ji: .....

Real talk, Qiu Tu's praise was so over-the-top, someone less thick-skinned would be cringing so hard right now. But hey, Zhao Ji lives for just this kind of energy.

So even though her face turned frosty and she gave Qiu Tu a light rebuke, "Don't state the obvious."

You could still spot the curve at the corner of her eyes that gave away her mood.

And next, she even made Qiu Tu certain he'd totally succeeded in making her feel good.

After lecturing Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji coughed and then said,

"Even though... your talent's kinda limited, your learning ability is passable."

"More importantly, your attitude's legit. So, I'm planning to teach you another move."

Hearing Zhao Ji say this, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up just a bit.

Seeing as Zhao Ji is a 'Heavenly God Reincarnate,' and not just any, but a top-tier one both in status and power, she's basically got a treasure chest inside her. She drops a hint, and Qiu Tu can feast for days.

So he couldn't help staring at Zhao Ji, asking, "Sister Zhaoji, what do you plan to teach me?"

Facing Qiu Tu's expectant look, Zhao Ji said coolly, "Prison Heaven Seal."

"That's the sealing skill I used on Man Huang earlier..."

Saying that, Zhao Ji began to show Qiu Tu this new 'Pseudo-Heavenly God Skill'.....

.....

Days spent learning always fly by.

Especially when learning with Zhao Ji—blink and it's gone.

After all, Zhao Ji might be a certified King B*tch, but she ain't exactly teacher material.

Stuff she can master with one casual glance, for regular scrubs, might as well be written in alien code.

Forget actually mastering it—Qiu Tu could barely grasp the basics. But Zhao Ji figured explaining once was plenty. No way she'd repeat herself a second time.
