Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 243 - 144: Three Cuts for One Pearl Chicken_4

Such an ability has never been heard of in the True Seed Realm!

In the crowd, Luo Tiancheng, gazing at Ji Jingqiu's calm yet towering and unshakable silhouette, fell into deep thought.

Even Zhang Buzhou failed to withstand three strikes from this person's hands; is this Martial Artist truly someone he can challenge?

Come to think of it...

Luo Tiancheng surveyed his surroundings, attempting to spot Chu Qiuguang among the Martial Artists present.

Wasn't Brother Chu supposed to compete with him to see who'd have better luck encountering this individual first?

At this moment, the myriad Martial Artists encircling them silently watched Ji Jingqiu's still form.

All of the sounds seemed to be devoured by an invisible force, the air filled with an indescribable oppression and solemnity, as if even the winds had ceased.

Everyone again placed themselves in Zhang Buzhou's position; could they have blocked those two strikes just now?

No, they couldn't block them, and evading would be difficult too!

Ji Jingqiu's speed was too fast, and his blade even quicker.

They all starkly realized one fact—

This trial, although not yet over, seemed to have already decided who would rank at the top!

Meanwhile, Ji Jingqiu was still savoring the afterglow of the previous encounter.

This Mr. Zhang was indeed strong, deserving of his fame, and solely his three punches under the influence of Divine Yang were a notch or two stronger than Li Chengfeng.

Thus, in this battle, he couldn't hold back.

Although it was only three strikes, they were worth more than a lengthy fight with other Martial Artists.

Especially, when facing Zhang Buzhou's second punch, something resonated within him, inadvertently entering a part of the Mental Realm he had deeply memorized during a fortuitous adventure.

Just as Ji Jingqiu was preparing to depart quietly in the interlude after using the three strikes to cut down Zhang Buzhou and deter the crowd, intent on fully refining the remaining Pure Bamboo first,

a subtitle suddenly emerged.

[Due to external influence, this trial will now enter a countdown phase.]

[Enemy coordinates are now provided to all Martial Artists, please enjoy the final hunt; in one hour, rankings will be determined based on the points of the last survivors.]

[Countdown: 59:59...]

All the remaining Martial Artists saw this scene.

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly shifted from stillness and quiet to tension and agitation.

It seemed like the slightest spark could set the whole place alight.

In the next moment.

The Rainfall Divine Blade flourished, enveloping five or six Martial Artists within its reach.

The massive battle began!

And Ji Jingqiu, the one who had initiated this battle, began to retreat.

No other intention—he planned to first finish refining the leftover Pure Bamboo and then partake in the grand melee!

...

"What's the situation now?"

Even as the situation spiraled out of control, Dr. Chen still appeared composed and solemn.

Researcher A quickly reported: "Our operating programs are locked; some external force is intervening. Conversely, Hel seems to be awakening, beginning to seize our privileges. The Divine Temple transmitted a message seventeen seconds ago, everything is still under control, and the Divine Lord has intervened, instructing us to just stabilize the situation."

Dr. Chen looked up at the projection, his gaze profound and not uttering a word.

Clearly, a little unexpected event had occurred.

And this incident seemed to fall within the expectations of the Divine Lords.

...

...

As the competition continued, the outside world had already been stirred into a frenzy.

Redwood Group.

"The selection competition is starting?" Yan Lv spoke sternly, "Why wasn't I reminded?"

The secretary hastily explained: "President Yan, the process of this selection competition is not publicly disclosed, that's why I did not disturb you."

"Not open to the public? Isn't this a fighting ring battle?" Yan Lv frowned; she had previously instructed her subordinates to notify her to watch this selection competition.

She wanted to know whether the youth who defeated Ji Linyuan would shine in this battle to compete for the tickets to the Great Martial Arts Competition.

The secretary said: "It seems not, the Four Guardian Stars have been quite secretive. Except for the points ranking, nothing else has been disclosed."

"Points ranking?" Yan Lv quickly asked, "What is Ji Jingqiu's rank?"

"Third!" the secretary declared solemnly, "Indeed, he is very strong!"

"Third?" Yan Lv's brow furrowed. This ranking was high but did not meet her expectations.

To defeat that person, he should be above his peers!

After dismissing the secretary, Yan Lv entered a private channel, and after a short search, she exhaled deeply.

The Heavenly Road seemed to remain calm for now; it appeared that person hadn't fallen into a trap!

...

...

Divine Power Group.

"The battle is still not over?!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang," the secretary said excitedly, "but as of the latest information, young master now ranks second on the leaderboard!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Yitong's tension eased a bit, showing a faint smile, looking to Yin Tianping: "Mr. Yin, what rank do you think Buzhou can achieve this time?"

Yin Tianping recalled the tested strength of his junior fellow disciple and spoke conservatively: "The top five should be secure, top three is quite hopeful."

Zhang Yitong smiled with confidence: "I believe Buzhou could take the top rank this time!"

Mr. Yin merely smiled faintly, remaining silent.

If his junior fellow disciple could take the top rank, then it would indeed enhance the prestige of Pure Yang Dao.

However, many young Martial Artists of this generation were Hidden and not to be underestimated; the top rank would not be easily seized.

Even a moment's carelessness and becoming surrounded could mean missing the top five.

Just then, the secretary received a message. He skimmed through it, his expression abruptly changing.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yitong instantly noticed the secretary's change in demeanor and asked with a frown, "Speak freely."

Speak freely...

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

That's what you said.

The secretary wiped off sweat and spoke with a dry throat: "The young master's ranking on the leaderboard... it's gone."

Zhang Yitong was momentarily stunned, then his face sank as he stood up angrily, about to slam the table with his palm, but Yin Tianping sighed lightly, dissipating the force that could have collapsed a floor.

"Please, Mr. Zhang, keep calm," Yin Tianping slowly said, "This trial is unlike any before, different from the fairness of the fighting ring. To be besieged and killed by others is normal, but it would not affect the upper echelons' assessment of his strength."

Hearing this, Zhang Yitong managed to suppress the strange emotions in his heart, and said indignantly, "Mr. Yin is right; Buzhou must have been surrounded and attacked by those dishonorable peers, leading to his early exit!"

Yin Tianping did not reply; his previous words were mere consolations.

As for whether he was overwhelmed or defeated face-to-face by a peer Martial Artist...

They would only know after his junior fellow disciple returned.
