Chapter 113: Unparalleled Talent

Chapter 113: Unparalleled Talent

In the dimly lit underground room, a faint yellow light illuminated three figures sitting across from each other.

"Lao Yang, if you keep this up, you won't have any fun left. We don't care about your dealings with the rebels, but your interactions with the Supreme Buddha Sect are a different matter... I can't protect you from the consequences." Zhang Chongba, stroking his bald head, spoke with a heavy heart.

The scar-faced man in front of him forced a smile, "Eighth Uncle, it's a misunderstanding. I had no idea, otherwise, how dare I hide it from you?"

Zhang Chongba narrowed his eyes, "What compensation did they give you this time to make you so stubborn?"

The scar-faced man fell silent for a moment, then spoke with difficulty, "Eighth Uncle, we know each other well, so let's not beat around the bush. This time, the higher-ups mean that the resistance in the Western Zone is very strong. Even if we don't cooperate, we must not stab them in the back, or else no matter who it is, they will be held accountable afterward. It's not that I'm collaborating with the Supreme Buddha Sect, but I can't let the Security Bureau cause trouble during this period."

"I understand." Zhang Chongba sighed, seemingly especially empathetic to the man's burden. He said with a mysterious smile, "Then you probably don't know that the Supreme Buddha Sect is preparing to target the Mu Family's disciples this time, do you?"

The scar-faced man's expression changed dramatically.

...

69 Book Bar

A burst of exclamations interrupted their conversation, carrying a distinct and unanimous emotional tone.

At this point, Wan Cheng paused to explain to everyone:

After this battle, it's not an exaggeration to say that he has become famous overnight!

"It's a prototype of a dojo!"

The young man, leaning on his sword, slowly opened his eyes. A sense of roundness and fullness accompanied a pure and flawless sharpness. He calmly scanned the challenger before him and said, "Receive my first sword, and you will have the qualification to ascend the tower."

No one could understand the significance of this video better than Yan Lu.

A disciple hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Wan, it seems that Brother Fang has gone to the White Jade Capital to challenge the eighth layer?"

"We've already tracked the movements of the Supreme Buddha Sect." Zhang Chongba shook his head, "However, the situation in the western region is somewhat beyond my expectations. They've mobilized very comprehensively this time, even inciting members from the gray areas like Lao Yang. The situation is not optimistic."

"Where's Leng Dao?"

It was like a gust of wind sweeping across the prairie, subduing the emotions of everyone present into a unified shape.

...

On the other end of the call, the Chairman's voice was urgent and impassioned.

Zhang Chongba suddenly took a deep breath, as if coming back to life, and quickly sent the video to his terminal, then shared it with someone using his own account.

...

It wasn't that she couldn't accept the boy's exceptional talent; investors often misjudged such things.

After this state continued for more than five minutes, Leng Dao glanced at the sweat beads, as big as soybeans, rolling down Old Eight's head, and finally became curious.

Leng Dao's eyebrows twitched, "Isn't that good? Ah Qiu is probably close to completing the Forbidden Knowledge. From now on, forming the Body of Power will require a lot of investment."

"Someone has successfully challenged the Seventh Layer head-on, and the combat video has been released!"

At this moment, inside Mu De Dojo.

Leng Dao became even more perplexed, "What did Yan Jie do to offend you?"

Speaking of this, Leng Dao sighed, "When you're young, you don't understand the value of money. You never ask about prices when you go out, but once you enter the Realm of Shackles, and your name is removed from the family's 'Support List,' you realize how hard it is to earn money."

"Also..."

Everyone then realized that the Seventh Layer participant, who had initially seemed to be holding his own, and even had the advantage, gradually lost ground during the fight. "Moreover, he was well aware of his strengths and weaknesses, and knew his martial arts were inferior to his opponent's. He took the path of simplicity and straightforwardness, and compensated for his martial arts deficiencies with pure speed and strength!"

Then, he too fell silent.

"There's something I didn't understand, the final strike."

He really wanted to help Ah Qiu, but he was powerless to do so. He was about to evolve his next divine meridian, and couldn't spare the time.

In fact, Yan Lu didn't hear the rest of the sentence.

Yan Lu, her soul shaken, took the call.

Unstoppable.

"Hmm," Zhang Chongba nodded, suddenly making a sound of surprise as he picked up the terminal.

"Oh?" Wan Cheng stepped forward, seemingly particularly interested. "Where's the video?"

Wan Cheng specifically selected a few segments of the video, playing them back in slow motion, allowing everyone to see the crucial details.

...

Perhaps this was also one of the impermanent aspects of life.

He remained silent for a long time, smiling bitterly, unable to say another word.

Wan Cheng's eyes sparkled with admiration, and he didn't hold back his praise, saying with conviction, "What's this young man's name? Ah, I see it now, Ji Jingqiu! What a great name! If I remember correctly, the next Star Selection Tournament will be held in the autumn of the Four Guardian Stars, right?"

Yan Lu smiled and extended her hand, shaking hands with the young man in front of her, who was robust, handsome, and full of vigor.

The young man's eyes blazed as he said, "Now, I'm even more curious to know if the Eighth Layer already bears his mark!"

White Jade Capital.

Zhang Chongba sighed, "It's broken."

Zhang Chongba remained silent, staring at the message on his terminal. His expression shifted from bewilderment to disbelief, and then to suspicion.

The Yan Shushi mentioned by the young man was the representative of Mu De Dojo who had attended the previous Four Guardian Stars Representative Meeting, only to provoke the dual suppression of Dragon Tiger Dojo and Heavenly Craft Workshop.

The company employee beside them was not only amazed by the young man's strength in the video but also admired Wan Cheng's open-mindedness and vision at this moment.

...

It was as if he was exactly like that person from years ago...

"This sword is named 'A Line of Life.'"

The image of the two shaking hands was frozen in the photo album.

"Incredible! Did we just witness history?!" "Who is this young man? How come we've never heard of him before?!"

"Any news from the Bureau?" Leng Dao asked.

"President Yan, have you seen the video?"

Zhang Chongba didn't say a word.

This time, he would probably be burdened with debt again.

The blade of light fell.

"I've been practicing in the Heart Realm for three years, and I still haven't grasped the true meaning of the dojo! This kid has only been practicing martial arts for a few years, and he's already mastered the prototype of the dojo?!"

An old man tugged at his beard, still in shock, as he stared at the screen. Although he understood the key to Ji Jingqiu's victory, it brought an even greater impact. "How is this possible? He hasn't even formed his Body of Power, and he already has the prototype of the dojo?!"

"How is he? Undoubtedly, he's so strong it's intimidating! I'm glad I didn't meet him before forming my Body of Power! I predict that by the end of this year, many scholars will revisit the discussion on the body strength limit before Body Formation due to this video of his!"

Leng Dao frowned and threw his terminal to him, "What's going on?"

Heavenly Fang Dojo.

"In that case, Mr. Wan, we will do our utmost to assist you in becoming the Martial Sun of this era."

Wan Cheng suddenly laughed and said,

"Yan, it's the Board of Directors calling."

In the dimly lit basement, the blue light from the terminal projection illuminated Zhang Chongba's face, which was flushed with excitement.

The moment he pushed open the door.

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed.

How could there be someone in this world who could defeat that person within the same territory?

The scar-faced man lowered his head, his breathing heavy and rapid. Finally, he made up his mind.

"Speaking of which, how did our little brother win? I just watched it too fast, let's watch it again."

The chaotic scene on the screen contrasted sharply with the still figure of Yan Lu at this moment.

Challenging the Eighth Layer? What does his disciple have to compete with a Martial Artist who has condensed the Human Body Heavenly Dao Ground?

Yan Lu's pupils contracted sharply, suddenly remembering what the young mistress had mentioned earlier—impossible!

"Also, try to contact this Martial Artist named Ji Jingqiu. As far as we know, he's currently only affiliated with a second-rate company! This matter must be acted upon quickly! Those damn hyenas have probably already started moving!"

...

Leng Dao furrowed his brows, then quickly relaxed, saying, "That's for the Security Bureau to consider."

As a combat video finished playing.

What she couldn't accept was that this youth had defeated him...

A moment later.

She stared blankly at the video—

The old man sighed, "I never thought that such a monstrous Martial Artist could appear in this world, even more so than that person. He has a True Seed and has condensed a Dojo Prototype, huh..."

Leng Dao looked at Old Eight in confusion.

Zhang Chongba quickly operated Leng Dao's terminal, smirking, "The Sixth Limit is just a big name, but in reality, it's just an empty title. When our little brother's realm improves, this title will become even more prominent, but not now."

"Why did you share it with her?" Leng Dao asked in surprise.

"I also challenged the Seventh Layer. That Martial Artist was almost flawless, with exceptional Martial Arts skills and a physique that wouldn't lose to Naturally Endowed Martial Bones. But look, every time they clashed, even though his fist was more ferocious, he was still forced to lose the initiative in the battle."

Having dealt with this Martial Artist, Zhang Chongba frowned and walked out of the room.

"This young man's victory relies on the Dojo Prototype!"

Zhang Chongba rubbed his hands, his eyes flashing with shrewdness and calculation, as well as unconcealed pride.

At this moment.

Fang Buyu's expression turned serious as he stared at the imprint across from him.

Unbelievable...

All the way until the end of the video.

Leng Dao witnessed it with his own eyes, his eyes widening instantly, staring like a pair of copper bells.

Urgent whispers in his ears brought Yan Lu back to reality.

Zhang Chongba's face was solemn, mixed with a hint of pain and regret, "She questioned my judgment and almost made the Federation lose an excellent Martial Arts investment talent!"

"Hehe... I was wondering why these guys suddenly offered to contribute to the treasury without any reason..."

Leng Dao also remained silent.

If one could dodge the initial onslaught, then...

The young man beside him felt his spirit soar. Suddenly, he said, "Master, last time, Yan Shushi got himself into trouble. Let him handle it himself; we won't get involved."

"He won! He really won!"

The crowd made way for them.

A glimmer of hope...

Fang Buyu's gaze intensified.

Even before he made a move, his opponent gave him a sense of pressure that was no less than the Martial Artist from the Seventh Layer! This person must have triumphantly surpassed the Seventh Layer!

With high spirits.

Noticing the crowd's blockade, Yan Lu and Wan Cheng exchanged glances and also made their way over.

"Let's wait and see if there are any comments from those Martial Arts masters later."

"This person might have been unknown before, but after today, even those Martial Arts masters will have to remember his name!"

Zhang Chongba licked his thick lips and laughed, saying, "Ah Dao, you know me. I settle scores with my enemies right away."

Perhaps most ordinary people don't understand the value of the Seventh Layer, but it's fine. Those societies, companies, and dojos understand better than anyone.

Leng Dao couldn't help but smile, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He had only left a few days ago, and upon arriving at the Federation, Ah Qiu had already accomplished something even more astonishing than opening the Sixth Limit...

"These guys won't take action unless they see the rabbit, and they won't offer their little treasury unless they see the eagle, hmm... Find... Hmm?"

After noticing their movements, someone suddenly rushed forward, his face full of excitement:

"Ji Jingqiu... I look forward to competing with him on future battlefields!"

...

Zhang Chongba took the terminal, not turning back as he said, "Chen Laosan, Qin Laosan, and their gang of dog brothers suddenly contacted me, asking about the previous project and if we needed money. They said they had some spare cash and wanted to help their brother, but there were some conditions to discuss..."

Is he seeking a glimmer of hope from the heavens? A decisive kill right at the start?

He came to Old Eight's side and saw the video playing on the terminal.

The Eighth Layer.

"This is comparable to... no, even better than Ji Linyuan's Heavenly Talent Seed. Capture him at all costs! All your dreams over these years can come true!"

As the countdown ended.

The young man revealed his true power, and with just one step forward, his brilliant figure seemed to be able to split the heavens.

Fang Buyu's body was about to dodge, but his eyes widened in shock, realizing it was too late!

Too fast! His movements were fast, but the sword light was even faster! It was a crushing level of speed! This sword strike was unavoidable and unstoppable! A glimmer of hope...

Now, by seizing this glimmer of hope from the young man, one could have the chance to ascend the tower!

But before forging the Body of Power, who could withstand this strike?!
