Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 239 - 143 Pure Bamboo, Unrestrained (7k)_4
He had already used a secret technique to increase his striking power, but it was still useless. Ji Jingqiu's slash was too heavy, too forceful!
The advantage of layering dharma made it impossible for him to resist!
Moments later, he was sent flying like a ball, tossed dozens of meters away by the slash, almost colliding with other martial artists along the way, and it was not until he landed and his feet sunk deep into the ground, dragging out seven or eight meters of indented tracks, that he stabilized his figure.
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu had already turned around. He propped up the Bodhisattva World, broke into the crowd in large strides, like a lion opening its eyes among a pack of hyenas, rampaging without restraint!
First, he suppressed the interweaved dharma in the skies with the Bodhisattva World, then followed with a fierce barrage of slashes like a rainstorm!
The Rainfall Divine Blade fought again in the martial world!
In a flash, the blade light cascaded like rain, enveloping all those who obstructed the path.
For a moment, everyone had to cease their fights against one another, retreating swiftly, fleeing from the covered area of the blade light!
Only after they regained their sensing and control over dharma did they take a breath, recovering their strength and looking towards Ji Jingqiu's direction in shock.
"The connection with dharma was shaken and suppressed just now!"
"What kind of power is this?!"
"He is Ji Jingqiu! Does the Formless Dao Body possess such capability?!"
"The one repelled by his blade was Li Chengfeng! He is the progeny of a master, even he couldn't stop Ji Jingqiu?!"
Right at this moment, at the outskirts of the battle, Thunder Tree moved, as if he had found the best prey.
His figure shot out like a bolt of lightning, arriving behind Ji Jingqiu, throwing a punch interlaced with the might of thunder, aiming for his back!
Ji Jingqiu, sensing something amiss, swung his blade around rapidly in a turn, slashing horizontally at waist level.
Thunder Tree did not seem to expect such a quick response. After a moment of hesitation, he chose to take the hit head on!
He wanted to see just how heavy this person's strike was, something that even the master's progeny, the Innate Martial Bone Li Chengfeng couldn't take!
The next moment, the overwhelming force caused Thunder Tree's complexion to change drastically, his heart filled with regret, but before it could fully emerge, his figure instinctively retreating rapidly, voluntarily shedding off a few layers of the force.
Ji Jingqiu raised his blade, and although the slash was neither deft nor clumsy, it carried a heavy intent that seemed to penetrate through a martial artist's years of past, with an aura that was noble and profound. With the force that could split open Heaven and Earth, he cut through Li Chengfeng's oncoming punch that was followed by the power of six worlds.
Once again repelling Li Chengfeng, Ji Jingqiu turned and stepped forward, his path now unobstructed by anyone.
With one slash he brought down the stele, then walked arrogantly into the bamboo forest under the awe-filled gazes of others.
Those who were previously in battle now had solemn expressions.
Whether it was Thunder Tree or Li Chengfeng, both were top choices among martial arts prodigies, the former from a martial arts family second only to the Six Great Families, and the latter was a master's progeny...
Yet both fell to his hands after only a few moves completely defeated!
Following the night a month ago where he dominated numerous martial artists... This guy now showed an even stronger bearing!
Many martial artists who had witnessed that night now felt the gravity of the situation.
Although Ji Jingqiu was strong that night, he had only a slight advantage over a few others in the finals. But now, facing Thunder Tree and Li Chengfeng who were on par with Mu Juncheng, it was almost like a one-sided defeat!
What they were most concerned about was the power Ji Jingqiu had previously displayed, capable of suppressing and interfering with others' dharma interweaving. What exactly was it!
The dojo in embryonic form?!
Just at this moment.
The crowd suddenly widened their eyes, their gazes fixed onto the bamboo forest.
After successfully entering the bamboo forest, Ji Jingqiu pondered briefly, then swung his blade down, cutting down all of the remaining bamboo in one sweep!
He had no other intention, just that while he was watching the subtitles earlier, no matter how he looked, he did not see any rule allowing only one Pure Bamboo to be cut.
Ji Jingqiu stood guard there, ready to face any possible dangers that might come.
But... nothing happened.
It was indeed long neglected!
He sighed slightly, picked up all the bamboo, and ran off without looking back, as an expression of respect.
...
...
In the conference room.
"What an invincible posture!"
"This person clearly possesses the style of being unmatched in his generation!"
"Yikes, I suddenly remembered, this kid still has a lot of room for improvement. His Taoist Body hasn't been polished to 99.9%, and his martial arts haven't reached Godseeing... How strong can his limit be?"
"I wonder who would be stronger between him and Zhang Buzhou in their upcoming match!"

After witnessing this battle, the numerous committee members exploded into discussion.
But soon, after seeing Ji Jingqiu snatch seven or eight bamboo stalks and then run away in a fluster from being besieged, everyone laughed and shook their heads, steering the conversation to another topic.
"Combat Power Stele? Nine States actually has such a ranking?"
"This thing is splendid, it's perfect for gauging how our Federation Heavenly Pride compares to those from the Otherworld, who's stronger or weaker!"
"Not just that, I heard there's also a Talent List; have any masters gone to see it?"
"The Talent List is meaningless for our Federation martial artists." Someone shook their head, "There have been masters who evaluated it, and not even one from our region could enter the first ten thousand."
"What's going on?!"
There are several amongst the martial artists of the Federation who have reached the Heavenly Master level, who is not a prodigy? Each one was once a leading Heavenly Pride.
"It's because Nine States defines talent differently than we do, they have a different cultivation system. The most distinctive contrast is that we cultivate Acquired Bodies, while they cultivate Bloodline Dharma Bodies."
"The creatures of Nine States cannot create cultivation bodies like us in their later years; they focus on Bloodline Battle Body and Spirit Body, looking purely at innate natural talent."
"Relatively speaking, Federation Martial Arts places more emphasis on Martial Wisdom. We do not have so-called bloodline power. Instead, we borrow the power of Hel to Fake to Real, building an Acquired Body.
"And talent, after all, refers to the natural ability conferred by nature at birth. It has been confirmed by masters that in this respect, we, Federation martial artists, are at a disadvantage. The Acquired Bodies we build do not fall within the scope of the evaluation unless... like those ancestors from ten thousand years ago, they can push the cultivation body to 100%! From Acquired to Innate!"
The room fell into contemplation for a moment.
Pushing it to 100%...
To put it simply, in the history of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, only the first Daoist Master achieved this.
There's always been a saying in the Federation Martial Arts – you let those ancestors re-cultivate the cultivation body methods they left behind, and there's a high probability they won't be able to push it to 100%.
The current so-called methods of building a cultivation body, in a sense, are "reverse-engineered methods."
After those ancestors from ten thousand years ago established the martial arts foundation with the many opportunities of Spirit Ocean, they turned around and reverse-engineered cultivation methods based on themselves.
Realizing this, everyone stopped discussing the Talent List and instead spoke of combat power.
"After all, talent is abstract, and it only has practical significance when converted into combat power."
"Exactly!"
"Speaking of which, how exactly is this year's Great Martial Arts Competition arranged? Is it really like in previous years?"
"Heh, I don't think so necessarily."
