Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 101 - 91: Aspiring to Start a New Mountain in the Martial Arts World_2
"But now it seems you are no longer satisfied with that, so go ahead and try, to seek the pinnacle of skills and arts in your spare moments of cultivating your Cultivation Body."
After reading Master Yang's reply.
Ji Jingqiu understood clearly.
This path truly exists; according to the feel-good novels he had read in his past life, it should be about nurturing all meridians in the furnace, embracing myriad Dao in the body!
What she sought was not merely combat skills, but the arts contained within combat skills.
He returned to Star Group.
The first thing Ji Jingqiu did was approach Lou Qinglan, expressing his need for the company's virtual simulator.
In the Four Guardian Stars, the teaching of combat skills had already moved beyond paper manuals and videos, into a new era.
Excluding superior combat skills that involve Dharma and visualization maps, one could quickly get a start on lower rank and mid-level combat skills through this kind of simulator, grasp the essence of force exertion, and then all that was left was personal practice.
Lou Qinglan didn't hesitate too much, nodded immediately, had someone take Ji Jingqiu, and also gave Ji Jingqiu the authority to study any of the lower rank combat skills the branch already possessed.
Under the guidance of the staff.
Ji Jingqiu casually selected a lower rank combat skill and lay down in a machine similar to a hibernation pod.
The staff operated the device, and Ji Jingqiu felt his Spirit God enter another world at once.
A white light filled his vision.
Moments later, he found himself in a green grassland.
A plain-looking middle-aged man stood in front of Ji Jingqiu with his hands behind his back.
He first nodded slightly to Ji Jingqiu.
Then he took a step forward with his right foot, his body lightly swaying, like a bird dancing in the wind, yet his hands were sharp like a bird's beak, ready to deliver a lethal strike at any moment!
[Water Bird Fist]!
Ji Jingqiu watched the man's stepping changes very carefully.
At this time.
As if the demonstration was over, the man finished and nodded to Ji Jingqiu again.
Before Ji Jingqiu could react, his body moved uncontrollably.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
He felt his body dancing in the wind, his right arm accumulating power, ready to launch an astounding strike at any moment.
It was as if that person possessed him; at this moment, he felt not just the footsteps but also every shift in the center of gravity, the key to exerting force, and the possible attack routes that followed, all the subsequent changes in moves...
This allowed him to quickly grasp the key tricks of this combat skill and quickly get started.
This unprecedented experience left Ji Jingqiu feeling astonished.
Can combat skills be learned this way?
Previously, when he learned with his senior brothers, apart from mastering various fighting techniques, the key was the essence of exerting force.
If you exert force incorrectly, you may harm your body.
But this simulator lets you quickly master the knack of exerting force, thus quickly getting started.
Moments later, Ji Jingqiu exited the simulator.
He went to a dedicated Demonstration field, closed his eyes, and recalled the experience he just had.
With his Martial Wisdom and Spiritual Cultivation, it was impossible to forget what just happened, and he replicated it perfectly at that moment.
With the Spiritual Cultivation of Residence, he entered deep sleep during the practice of the combat skills, as if sleepwalking, yet was acutely aware of every muscle and vein in his body exerting force.
This is what is called the body sleeps but not the heart, the God sleeps but not the intention.
With the rapid roots of muscle memory, his mastery of the Water Bird Fist increased at breakneck speed.
Water Bird Fist, small achievement!
Water Bird Fist, Great Success!
Water Bird Fist—
After repeatedly practicing the Water Bird Fist completely more than a dozen times.
Within a small space, his figure's transformations gradually resembled a real bird skimming over water, untainted by the slightest hint of secular life, agile and graceful, fists pointed like a bird's beak, creating a vacuum shriek upon strike...
At this stage, the Water Bird Fist had reached Perfection!
The simulator had solved the most troublesome and complicated process of starting, from beginning to perfection, it only took him...
Half an hour?
Ji Jingqiu looked at the time on the wall, slowly clenched his fist, eyes sparkling with brilliance, feeling the tremors of his muscles.
In such a short time, his understanding of the Water Bird Fist was akin to having practiced for several years.
This was the surprise brought about by the combination of the modern virtual simulator and his own Spiritual Cultivation and Martial Wisdom.
He had already found the path suitable for himself.
...
...
On the Four Guardian Stars, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, the lake surface shimmered under the sunlight, a continuous veranda with hanging eaves stretched along the water, with wooden eaves arches and classical halls standing in rows, and ancient stone paths paved with bluestones.
Terraces, pavilions, flying eaves, and the soft reflection from the glazed tiles, blended harmoniously with the lively gold reflection from the emerald lake surface.
This place is the Xinzhai Dojo, ranked among the top ten of the Federation.
By the babbling stream, a young man sat cross-legged, his sword-like eyebrows slanting upwards and his face firm with resolve.
He was Yun Jinghe, the current Daoist of the Xinzhai Dojo.
At the moment, his tone was somewhat helpless:
"Teacher, my martial skills have reached their current pinnacle, but I still see no hope of passing through the eighth level of White Jade City."
"Even reaching the seventh level, I only barely passed by dodging for three minutes."
Recalling that figure of the seventh level, Yun Jinghe still yearned deeply.
Before his fists, all of the combat skills he took pride in seemed to lose their effectiveness.
Aside from brute forcing and desperate dodging, there were simply no means to counteract the other's punches!
Sitting across from Yun Jinghe was a man dressed in a plain Daoist robe, with a more elegant and youthful face than the young man. He was also a former Daoist of Xinzhai Dojo, Mu Yun.
Hearing his words, Mu Yun shook his head and said, "If it were I, your teacher, in the seventh level, even I would have only relied on dodging."
Yun Jinghe questioned, "Who exactly is that person? Why can't I find any information about him online? Even within the dojo, there is none."
Mu Yun sighed softly; some things not only implicated Federation scandals, but also the old news of Daoist tradition, which were difficult to talk about openly.
For instance, how could he tell his disciple that even his own martial arts mentor, a hundred years ago, was no match for that person?
He advised:
"The name of that person has become a taboo; do not inquire about it."
"There's no need to compete with him; he was once personally praised by the Great Grandmaster of the Li Family as the most vigorous of the millennium past. Later, he even dominated an era and was exceptionally included in White Jade City's database, creating a virtual image that now guards the seventh level and looks down upon all future martial artists."
"The only path for you to surpass him is to break through the Sixth Limit!"
"The Sixth Limit..." the young man fell silent.
His teacher's tone was firm and brooked no argument:
"The eighth and ninth levels are reserved for those who have broken through the Sixth Limit!"
"If you are the first to break through the Sixth Limit, then it will be your virtual image that others see on the eighth level!"
"This matter, both your mentor and I will support you with all our might!"
"For thousands of years, the first to create a new summit in the martial arts world will receive not just honors, but an unparalleled 'Martial Fortune'!"
"Not only you but the dojo as well!"
"So you must strive for it! This is the only chance for both you and the dojo!"
Suddenly.
An urgent communication alert sounded.
Mu Yun glanced at it, his brow furrowed, and he opened communications, asking:
"What's the situation with Zhuang Butong?"
"Star Group? Resolve this matter quickly; I do not wish for further complications to arise!"
Yun Jinghe frowned, "Teacher, is it necessary to go to such lengths?"
Mu Yun's face was stern as he replied, "Even if we don't act on this matter, others will. Moreover, the higher-ups have already tacitly consented as time is in short supply for all parties."
"Zhuang Butong is dying!"
...
Several days later.
During this time, Ji Jingqiu, as if he had obtained a novel toy, had not left the training room where the simulator was located, even for eating or drinking.
Until this day.
Ge Hong came knocking on the door, bursting with excitement.
"Brother Ji, let's go, stop practicing already. Combat skills are nothing more than the key to releasing power and the circulation of Qi Force. Trust me, mastering a few skills is already enough."
"Let's go to White Jade City to watch a fight. You haven't been there yet, right? It's a good chance to authenticate your identity and see which level you can reach!"
"I heard someone from the Dragon Tiger Dojo has made it to the seventh level!"
Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, which showed no signs of fatigue; instead, they sparkled with intensity.
