Chapter 110: The 'Ji' Exchange Group
Chapter 110: The 'Ji' Exchange Group
After making a call to Senior Brother Song, who didn't seem to mind and only reminded Ji Jingqiu's request, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive mindset after the virtual death experience.
Despite being a virtual death, the sensations were very real, without any reduction.
Ji Jingqiu ended the call, took a deep breath, stretched his limbs, and prepared for another battle.
"Brother Ji!" A hearty voice called out from not too far away.
It was Ge Hong, accompanied by Su Qiming, whom he had met before and was from the Heavenly Han Dojo.
The Heavenly Han Dojo was also one of the top ten dojos in the Federation.
"Brother Ji, we're going to the arena to watch. Are you coming with us?"
Ji Jingqiu was already planning to do so and readily agreed.
Ji Jingqiu's eyes widened, "Those geniuses at the Daozi level, did they all pass the three-minute mark?"
In 1, 6, 1, 9, a book, 1, look, 1, wrong version, %!
[Idle Time]: Count me in for some idle time.
The Butterfly Blade, victorious.
...
It seemed that the virtual arena was indeed more eye-opening than simply passing through the levels.
So, was the seventh layer marked for the Daozi level?
"Those Daozi geniuses? Hey, some are at the peak of body-mind mastery, and the most talented ones have already entered the Mind Enlightenment stage, like Yin Wushuang from the Heavenly Sword Dojo."
"Zhang Wuwei from the Tai Su Xuehui and Bian Rong from the Heavenly Deity Dojo are matched up. The latter has already entered the Mind Enlightenment stage!"
If he remembered correctly, Elder Zhuang had considered himself no match for them back then...
Suddenly, Su Qiming received a message and exclaimed excitedly:
Under the guidance of Ge Hong and Su Qiming, Ji Jingqiu smoothly entered the matching queue.
He had no ulterior motives; it was just a genuine question.
Group Name: The Rising Sun of This Era - [Sword Heart Enlightenment]: Latest news, Brother Ji is on the virtual arena.
The Butterfly Blade's opponent was a Great Spear, which should have an advantage due to its length, but the blade danced like a butterfly, and its wielder's movements were graceful. With quick footwork and constantly changing blade angles, the spear wielder couldn't react in time, and the blade wielder seized the opportunity to advance and slash across the throat.
"Huh?" Ge Hong was confused, "If they give up, why are they still matched up?"
Ji Jingqiu's expression turned serious as he realized he still had some catching up to do.
Was it over so soon? His sword strike, if used on the seventh-layer opponent, would only manage to cut through the skin and reach the bone.
"Brother Ji, are you going up next?"
"Brother Ji, you've already passed the sixth layer, so the matched martial artists will be at least of this level!"
After a few sword strikes, Ji Jingqiu's arm holding the sword didn't waver, and his opponent immediately realized that they were physically mismatched and couldn't rely on brute force. They needed to use their wits.
Ge Hong suddenly interjected, "Brother Ji, how long can you last in the seventh layer now? If you can last three minutes, you'll pass. Once you do, we must ask Vice President Zhang to host a grand celebration within the company!"
6, 9, Book, Bar
"These people are almost all geniuses at the Daozi level from various dojos. They're at the Five Limitations like us, but that's only because they're limited to five!"
"Martial arts?" Su Qiming laughed, "Then let's go to the arena! Arena battles are the best way to hone martial arts, especially during the early stages of refining hundreds of techniques."
[I Have a Great Spear]: I'll go first.
He didn't attack first but waited for his opponent to make the first move. A round of sword techniques, like moonlight, concealed deadly intent. Ji Jingqiu raised his sword to counter.
Ge Hong's spirit lifted, "I'll notify Brother Ji right away!"
The greatest advantage of the virtual arena was that it allowed for cross-regional battles, avoiding the lack of communication between the three cities.
"Oh?" Ji Jingqiu's interest was piqued, and he couldn't help but ask, "Which martial artists have already challenged the arena?"
"Hmm, it looks boring." Ji Jingqiu sighed, "Can the arena filter out stronger opponents? Like those at the peak of body-mind mastery, for instance."
"This move has at least three flaws... This transition is too abrupt... No, why didn't they seize the opportunity to slash him with a sword?" Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, feeling the urge to criticize.
Suddenly, Su Qiming shouted, his face showing disappointment, "Never mind, both of them forfeited."
Ji Jingqiu raised an eyebrow, impressed by the names! Moments later, he was transported to the virtual arena, which was no different from the White Jade Capital's tower. His physical attributes were perfectly replicated, and the chosen weapon was just an ordinary blade.
Just as Ge Hong was about to send a message.
"You are about to enter the arena. Your opponent for this battle is [Can Die But Must Not Lose]."
Su Qiming recited the information like a treasure trove, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Wait..."
Having lost interest in watching further, Ji Jingqiu turned and asked, "Old Ge, how do you challenge someone in the arena?"
"Moreover, Bian Rong, Yin Wushuang, and others who haven't yet forged their superb bodies, despite being Daozi-level martial artists who have already passed the seventh layer, have recently started challenging the seventh layer again for some unknown reason..."
Ji Jingqiu's face turned solemn, and he took a step back. His aura, which had been restrained and profound, suddenly soared, and he swung his sword down without any fancy moves.
Ji Jingqiu stood on the stage, his face filled with shock.
"The two on the stage, in terms of martial skills, are not as strong as Little Brother Chen Yi from Dragon Tiger Dojo."
The most crucial aspect was the speed and power! Despite appearing as a light and floating strike, it seemed to possess the might of splitting the heavens and parting the seas! He dodged in a hurry, barely managing to block it with his longsword, which snapped in his hand. In his astonished gaze, the long blade sliced him in half, and his figure instantly disintegrated into scattered light.
Listening to Su Qiming's introduction, Ji Jingqiu was secretly amazed. Not only was there a Body-Mind Peak martial artist, but there was also a Mind Enlightenment martial artist.
Su Qiming grinned, "Recently, many well-known martial artists have been attempting to break through the seventh layer, and some have already succeeded in their challenges."
The two figures on the stage were enveloped in dazzling sword lights, showcasing the extremes of their techniques. Even the special effects were maxed out, but Ji Jingqiu shook his head in secret.
"Bian Rong from Heavenly Deity Dojo, Yin Wushuang from Heavenly Martial Dojo, Diao Xingyun from Profound Heaven Dojo... And our Senior Brother Yue Dongyang from Heavenly Han Dojo also passed the seventh layer in the past!"
[Burn Qin Boil Crane]: Interesting, I want to join in. It's been a long time since I've fought on the virtual arena. I hope to be matched with this person.
Su Qiming nodded, "Yes, I'm challenging the seventh layer."
---
[I Have a Spear] changed the group name to "Sniper 'Ji' Exchange Group" ---
Body Formation?
Ji Jingqiu felt an itch to try it out, wishing he could step onto the stage and practice.
"Wait, Zhang Wuwei has forfeited."
"Heavenly Martial Dojo..."
"Uh, these two have also forfeited..."
Ge Hong rubbed his head, a bit confused by the thought processes of these Daoist Master-level geniuses.
It was indeed strange. Why were so many Daoist Master-level martial artists coming out to stretch their bones today?
