Chapter 114: The Young Hero

Chapter 114: The Young Hero

【I Have a Great Spear】 changed the group name to 【A Ray of Hope in the Midst of Despair】

【Sword Heart Enlightenment】: ...

【Burn Qin Boil Crane】: ...

【Crane Stands Among Chickens】: ...

【Idle Without Affairs】: Well changed! 【I Have a Great Spear】: That little thief Ji doesn't have a shred of humanity! I fought with all my might and barely managed to survive his first strike, feeling relieved, but then he struck again and cut me down!

【Idle Without Affairs】: +111...

【Sword Heart Enlightenment】: Everyone has tried it, right? What are your thoughts?

Everyone turned to look at the eldest in the group, an elder who was like a grandmaster. When he remained silent, they began to discuss among themselves.

In the Heavenly Sword Dojo.

These days, countless people from various companies and societies had been messaging him, so he was forced to temporarily block his terminal and activate the AI service.

"Not bad. The grandmaster of our Dragon Tiger Dojo and the founder of the Heavenly Deity Dojo both have the surname Zhang. Is there a connection?"

【Sword Heart Enlightenment】: Let's see who's qualified in the assessment tournament two months later. By then, we should all have forged our Dao bodies.

He opened his contact list and looked at the few names on it. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the name of his grandfather.

After returning from White Jade Capital and attending the banquet at the Stellar Corporation's branch, Ji Jingqiu headed straight to the training room.

The elder spoke sternly, "The rule of one Dragon Tiger Dao Body every three years is non-negotiable. Even if it's Ji Jingqiu who wants to forge today, I won't agree. The reason will become clear when you reach my level!" The woman had no choice but to remain silent, and the others seemed to understand, as if they had thought of something.

"Haha, Senior Brother Yang hasn't even established his dojo yet? I've taken the lead."

Book 6, Chapter 9, Book Bar

"I propose that the dojo reinstate the 'Guardian Mechanism' and nominate Ji Jingqiu as the next Guardian."

"I agree. Additionally, when Senior Brother Yang breaks through to the Heart Realm, if he's willing, we can elevate his authority by one level and have him take over some of the main branch's affairs."

"We'll eat whatever is available." In the kitchen, a middle-aged man with an imposing demeanor said coldly.

A virtual video conference led by White Deer Daoist.

The turmoil spread endlessly, even reaching an old starship in deep space.

For example, the rule of one Dragon Tiger Dao Body every three years is not only due to limited special resources but also to guard against the Soul Ocean...

...

White Deer Daoist narrowed his eyes, his experience and cultivation ranking among the top three in the room, naturally aware of some secrets.

Someone shook their head, "That guy's martial talent was top-notch, but his temperament was also extremely arrogant and cold. Aside from a few close ones, he wouldn't even blink if others died in front of him, let alone act heroically."

The elder was furious, "I want to eat!"

Through this video, Yin Wushuang had judged that Ji Jingqiu's martial path emphasized simplicity and directness, leveraging his physical advantages.

The middle-aged man's pupils constricted, but he still spoke stubbornly, "I don't have any!"

Unfortunately, later on, this person delved deep into the Soul Ocean and disappeared without a trace.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze suddenly shifted to the AI assistant, Meng Shen, by his side.

Everyone's faces showed surprise.

"That's the spirit!" The elder gave a thumbs up, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work.

In everyone's eyes, the one wearing the Daoist crown was White Deer Daoist, his face calm, his voice as peaceful and powerful as ever, carrying a unique will.

The elder was dissatisfied, "I want to eat beef."

"Little Wan, what are we having for dinner tonight?" An elderly man with a sharp mind walked by and asked.

The middle-aged man, like a broken jar, shouted angrily, "Where am I supposed to find beef for you? Do I look like a cow?"

White Deer Daoist narrowed his eyes, "Just in case, some people outside might make the same connection."

Before leaving, the grandfather specifically warned, "The true meaning of martial arts lies in having no one before you and no deities."

"This speculation is indeed a bit absurd." The previous generation's Daoist, Lu Ding, laughed, "I've already learned from Senior Brother Yang. Junior Ji is polite and respectful, and it's not an exaggeration to say he respects the elderly and cares for the young. He's upright and has acted heroically before. His character is excellent, completely different from that senior."

"The martial paths of these two people are completely different." Someone agreed.

Just last night, he received congratulations from Gu Luo Han and intelligence gathered by the Supreme Buddha Sect.

Hearing such bold words, the elder began to roll up his sleeves, his face twisted in anger, "Little Wan, you're going to break down my door one day."

The middle-aged man's face was bruised and swollen, expressionless.

Only a few people seemed to understand something.

To compete with this person, one must forge an exceptional Body of Power and then use transformation to defeat the enemy.

Indeed, it was incredibly stunning, and no one could match his Body of Power!

"He doesn't look like him." White Deer Daoist spoke concisely.

"Speaking of which... they're all from the Ji family." Someone suddenly spoke up.

【I Have a Great Spear】: 'I fear the Federation will be stuck at the eighth layer, with no one able to reach the ninth layer.' Take it, this is my master's evaluation.

The young man walked into the kitchen with reluctance, sighing, "Mr. Wan, you've gone through a lot. Elder Zhuang just likes to show off, nothing more."

At this moment, Yin Wushuang's body emanated a breath that shared the same origin as the sword forged from the Heavenly Trace before him, as if that sword had been branded within his body.

These words were like a stone thrown into a still lake, creating ripples that spread intensely.

The elder's eyelids drooped slightly, and he remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly:

The contemporary Daoist, Yin Wushuang, sat cross-legged in a secluded room, his head lowered. In front of him stood a sword without a hilt or handle, as if transformed from the Heavenly Trace, ancient and vast, with pure sharpness that seemed capable of cutting through everything, including the laws of heaven and earth.

Hearing the news that Yang Shifu and Da Shixiong had arrived, Ji Jingqiu felt a surge of energy and prepared to have a good chat with Da Shixiong.

Moments later, he stepped out of the kitchen, feeling refreshed and indifferent to the idea of eating.

The middle-aged man took a step and froze, his body stiffening.

The elder in the center suddenly opened his eyes and spoke slowly, "Since he uses a knife, it's basically unrelated to that person."

With his guidance, everyone suddenly realized the truth.

The tall and graceful figure beside him spoke in a calm tone, "The contacts you specifically marked, 'Yang Yan' and 'Yang Yang', have sent their congratulations. Should I reply?"

The second knife, nurtured in the seventh layer, had also completed its final accommodation of forbidden knowledge.

Everyone nodded in agreement, but another female crown disciple complained, "You call it 'Ancestor's System' when it's useful, and 'Old System' when it's not. Master Uncle, your standards are too flexible!"

...

"No," the middle-aged man said firmly.

...

The first speaker sighed, "I was just casually expressing my thoughts. Why take it so seriously?"

Ji Jingqiu's prowess with the knife was already well-known.

Dragon Tiger Dojo.

However, he had a connection with the dojo, and before he disappeared, no one knew if it was due to a premonition or some other reason, but he had left a secret treasure in the Dragon Tiger Dojo.

"It's not impossible, but it's still too early. When he enters the Divine Roaming Realm with the brilliance of Blazing Sun, it will be just about right."

The middle-aged man took a step and walked away.

Everyone chuckled, knowing that he didn't think Ji Jingqiu was unworthy, but was upset for his own disciple.

The dojo's rules were clear—only one warrior could forge the Dragon Tiger Dao Body each year.

White Deer Daoist glanced at the female disciple and said, "The Federal has tens of billions of people with the surname Ji, and just because they are all excellent and share the same surname doesn't mean they are blood-related. That logic is too far-fetched."

"Master Wan Qi, please go and rest. Leave this to me."

After forming the Dao Body, the divine strangeness manifested, and the initial principles of the Dao began to show. Combined with superior combat techniques, the various transformations were incredibly profound.

The female crown disciple's compatibility with the Dragon Tiger Dao Body was extremely high, second only to Shi Xuanzhen in this generation. Now, they could either wait or switch to cultivating other bodies of power.

White Deer Daoist nodded, not insisting further. This promise was enough.

According to the intelligence, the reason those secretive sect members had infiltrated the Four Guardian Stars was that they had mastered a method to summon the "forbidden artifact" that could suppress Hela.

Ji Jingqiu was confident that, at his current level, he had achieved the first half of the saying!

According to the information he had obtained, the physical body of this artificial intelligence was the transdimensional synthesis thought body, numbered 03, that was being suppressed beneath the White Jade Capital of the Fourth Guardian Star—Hela.

Ji Jingqiu's ascent to the eighth layer was known throughout the world.

The elder in the main seat pondered, "The Guardian Mechanism can be reactivated. Such a talented individual should be supported by the resources of the dojo, even if it means breaking some old rules."

[Burning Qin and Cooking Crane]: This is a human body dojo, and it's hard to evaluate. While others are still struggling with their mental realm, this guy has already achieved it, even if it's just a prototype. Achieving it is still an achievement.

Several elders who had witnessed that person nodded slightly, indicating their agreement.

[Crane Standing Among Chickens]: Witness after forming the Dao Body!

These guys were willingly and eagerly becoming like Elder Zhuang Butong, a beacon of the Dao.

White Deer Daoist suddenly spoke, "Ji Jingqiu has forged the Formless Dao Body with a compatibility of 95%. This method requires exhausting all variations to attain formlessness from the myriad phenomena. I suggest lending him the 'Ten Thousand Phenomena Orb' left by 'Wan Fa' a thousand years ago for his cultivation."

Another female crown disciple instinctively argued, "It's not that having a different appearance means there's no relation."

"Speaking of which... Master Wan Qi seems to have completely accepted the nickname 'Little Wan'," the young man added.

"It's no wonder White Deer Shixiong is so eager. A talented disciple with a dojo prototype is indeed worthy of great attention."

When the time comes, the deciding factor for victory will no longer be solely based on physical strength and martial arts.

One day...

"That's right! I almost forgot about that. That fellow hates knife users the most. If Ji Jingqiu is indeed his descendant, he would probably be the first to clean up his own house!" someone laughed loudly.

The atmosphere turned cold instantly.

White Deer Daoist was one of them. He nodded and said, "I almost forgot about that. That person despised knife practitioners."

Everyone was surprised. Ji Jingqiu was cultivating the Formless Dao Body? As for Wan Fa, he was a Celestial Warrior who had popularized the Formless Dao Body a thousand years ago, bringing it to the attention of the world.

Ji Jingqiu contemplated whether to contact the Administration Bureau or directly inform Divine General Shenjun.

They wanted to use this to challenge the Federation's suppression of Hela, create chaos, and thus create an opportunity to establish contact with her.

On the other side, Zhuang Fusheng, feeling refreshed, strolled into the main cockpit. He found that the main control panel, originally used for navigation, was now playing a combat video.

Watching the screen and the figure in front of it, Zhuang Fusheng sighed, "That's so cool."

In front of the screen, an old man gazed at the figure holding the knife, and at the paused image, the fading silhouette of the past. He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, leaving no trace, and muttered with his back to the ground, "Heroes arise from the young."
