Chapter 125: The Standard of Sun Blaze, The Thickness of Time (8k6 Combo) (Part 1)





Diao Xingyun tightly gripped his spear, pointing it diagonally at Ji Jingqiu, and exclaimed in surprise, "Your strongest aspect isn't your physique, but your mind?"

Fang Buyu, standing beside him, furrowed his brows. This was information that hadn't been discovered during the previous dojo search.

Ji Jingqiu didn't respond, his gaze fixed on Diao Xingyun.

According to Zhuang Yanxing's statement, among the five, Diao Xingyun was actually the strongest. His cultivation of the Celestial Heaven Spear Canon, solely in terms of offense, was on par with the Heavenly Sword Dao Canon of the Heavenly Sword Dojo, both being Grandmaster legacies.

The Celestial Heaven Force within the former contained two unique characteristics: spiral force and penetrating force. Alternating between these forces in combat made it difficult for opponents to defend against.

"Brother Ji, I'm ready!"

Yue Qingtian's voice boomed, and his already robust physique seemed to grow taller, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The core heritage of the Celestial Heaven Dojo, the superior combat technique, the Celestial Heaven Seven Sins Spear!

"I'm betting on Yin Wushuang. The name of the Heavenly Sword is well-deserved!"

"Don't you think that your recent progress in martial arts has been too rapid?" Zhuang Yanxing couldn't help but ask.

No nonsense, this one's above the level of a master!

Yin Wushuang entered the arena from the other side, holding her sword and smiling. Her every word and action exuded a sharpness akin to the Heavenly Sword.

Add to that the subsequent refinement, enhancement of heartcurrent, and the formation of a complete body of power...

...

Fortunately, he had always been vigilant, guarding with his heartcurrent.

So strong! And the power of this spear could be even greater!

"You," Zhuang Yanxing spoke honestly.

This question wasn't just on Zhuang Yanxing's mind.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu's peripheral vision caught sight of a crack on the long knife, likely caused by the previous clash with Yue Qingtian. He twisted his wrist, and his entire body surged with qi energy, suppressing the backlash of the Unity Art and bringing his strength back to its peak!

If the two forces were combined and the Principle was added, the Celestial Heaven Force could directly explode Ji Jingqiu's shoulder, making it impossible for him to withdraw.

In an instant.

A slash sent Fang Buyu flying, and Ji Jingqiu turned around, unleashing another strike of One-Line Vitality! Thunderous sounds resonated from the blade, shaking the hearts and minds of those nearby.

Moreover, as long as they were willing to use their dojo's influence to transform the planet, countless Federation residents would voluntarily migrate and settle there. "A warrior with the aura of a master doesn't even need to participate in any selection tournament to earn the title of Sun Blaze!"

Such warriors actually reach the Enlightenment Before Enlightenment Realm faster than geniuses because they skip many steps...

For true geniuses, the focus is on who has fewer shortcomings.

Ji Jingqiu asked, "When is the Grand Martial Tournament?"

It seemed to be called the Thousand Layer Force. And in the final clash with Diao Xingyun, this person seemed to have witnessed his intense battles and didn't want to take advantage, so he chose to settle it with a single decisive strike.

"Age! He's only 16 years old! The one who claimed the title of Sun Blaze and suppressed his peers was already 18!"

"No, just like Shi Xuanzhen from your Dragon Tiger Dojo, those who are a bit older and in the fast-track group are seeking their final perfection. In the end, these people either directly break through to the Enlightenment Realm, not participating in the Sun Blaze competition, or they stay in place, polishing their mind cultivation and waiting for the Grand Martial Tournament."

The Unity Art made his strikes extremely heavy and powerful, but the backlash was also significant.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "That senior is indeed formidable. I've learned a lot from him."

"Those surnamed Wang always play dirty tricks! I'll remember you!"

Ji Jingqiu sheathed his long knife and muttered, "Time is running out. I only have two months left, and my progress is still too slow..."

The first two points are the areas where countless genius warriors get stuck before reaching the Enlightenment Realm, trying to perfect their skills! Before the age of 20, achieving two of these points increases the comprehensive success rate of becoming a master to over 27.3%, according to the Federation's statistics over the years!"

"Yes."

Yue Qingtian felt regretful. Zhuang Yanxing mentioned that this person was most skilled with an axe-shaped weapon, and the broadsword clearly wasn't his forte. However, his force was quite interesting.

Ji Jingqiu didn't correct him for overreporting.

Diao Xingyun grumbled, "This guy's progress in the Heavenly Zhou Dao Field is terrifying. He already had a strong physique, and with the temporary unity of the physical body, his control over it was precise. I thrust my spear into him, and not a drop of blood flowed."

It was so fast that he didn't even have time to retreat!

It seemed that the fight was intense not just here but everywhere.

"Aren't we all fast?" Ji Jingqiu asked in confusion.

"I'm not sure." Zhuang Yanxing spoke honestly, "This is a comprehensive decision made by the Federation's upper echelons. But to participate in the Grand Martial Tournament, the two-month selection tournament is the ticket."

Ji Jingqiu turned his head to look at the gradually descending night sky.

Zhuang Yanxing sighed,

Zhuang Yanxing stared at the writing on the wall for a long time, as if it seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. Suddenly, a flash of insight came to him, and he exclaimed, "This is Divine Script! How can there be Divine Script here?!"

"There are no geniuses before a Grandmaster!"

From this person, he had witnessed the core integrated heritage of a dojo for the first time.

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

Ji Jingqiu didn't rush to kill him but temporarily spared his life, as it was evident from the banquet hall that this guy had ample intelligence.

"Mind Secrecy, Heaven-Human Six Limits, Dojo Embryo... In this life, will the standard of 'Master's Aura' be established?"

If one chooses to forge a superior body of power, the first hurdle is the Superior Meditation Diagram. Many warriors get stuck at this stage for half a year or even a year.

"I'm betting on Mu Juncheng. This guy's body of power is Mu Family's Immovable King Body, and his combat technique is Seamless Heaven-Human, an endless defense like a turtle with a shell!"

For example, a typical genius warrior would spend around a year cultivating their body and reaching the Heaven-Human Five Limits.

Looking at the now empty second floor.

"What changes?" Ji Jingqiu asked in surprise.

This secret technique seemed tailor-made for him.

"Little Swallow, come here," Ji Jingqiu suddenly called out.

Hmm! Quick! Unparalleled speed!

With a wave, Zhuang Yanxing was summoned.

"My master said that this generation has already witnessed a surge of geniuses, which is why you, Brother Ji, have the notion of 'Daoists being cheap'. After defeating numerous future masters, who dares say you won't be a future Grand Master!"

Numerous eliminated warriors gathered, grumbling among themselves.

Not mentioning the successive assassinations of Song Chongshan and Pei Jing, it was the victory of the Meditation Seal. Even with Yue Qingtian's precautions, he couldn't avoid being controlled, but the duration was significantly reduced.

Otherwise, with the quick-draw gun technique he had previously displayed, he could have entangled in a prolonged battle.

This seemingly ordinary strike, devoid of any fancy moves, was purely an overwhelming display of strength. The Primordial Energy, renowned for leaving no trace, unleashed a mountain-splitting force, causing Fang Buyu's expression to change drastically as he was sent flying backward.

"That person has an astonishing understanding of martial arts, but he suffered due to the compatibility of his Dao Body. It's said that the forces backing him spent over a billion and offered invaluable Divine Remains to create the strongest Body of Power. In the end, they only managed to push the progress from 87% compatibility to 99%, and there was no further improvement."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jingqiu understood.

Diao Xingyun smiled and his figure disappeared.

To forge a Superior Body of Power at the age of eighteen already placed him among the top martial geniuses, second only to the Daoists.

In Superior Combat Techniques, the principles and realm were the keys.

The shadows of spears danced, and no one knew how many spears Diao Xingyun had thrust! The glimmering spear tips resembled a waning moon, gradually transforming into a full moon, accompanied by the sound of tides. Ji Jingqiu stood amidst the sea of spears, unyielding and unmoving, each strike precisely severing the weak points of the spears.

"Has anyone in this generation reached that level?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

The Federation's martial path indeed emphasized rapid progress in the early stages, but to achieve the level of Ji Jingqiu's swiftness was unheard of! "Body Forging, Heaven-Human Six Limits, Superior Meditation Diagram, Bright Mind... I won't ask about the rest, but I want to know, Brother Ji, how long did it take you to comprehend the Formless Meditation Diagram?"

"Many talented warriors often stop at the Enlightenment Realm, striving to refine these two steps to the extreme, and then breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm. This way, the transformation and gains after Enlightenment are the greatest!"

Diao Xingyun's eyes lit up with excitement: "No problem. I met one."

Ji Jingqiu inquired, "And in the True Seed Realm, what stage did he reach?"

"The truth is often beyond your comprehension."

This strike was powerful and heavy, and with the broad and thick blade, it carried the Thousand Layer Force unique to his lineage, sweeping towards Ji Jingqiu like a tidal wave!

Fortunately, his physique was resilient, and the Mountain and River Form within his body was well-suited to the Unity Art.

The final spear thrust by Diao Xingyun appeared extremely similar.

As the two weapons clashed, a burst of Qi energy shot out with a loud bang.

"Well done, Brother Diao!" Ji Jingqiu exclaimed, his eyes shining, "Is this the Celestial Heaven Spear Canon of the Dragon Tiger Dojo?"

"Also, my master told me that this generation's Sun Blaze Contest will be measured against the standards of the previous two Great Contests... So, there will be adjustments to both standards..."

If they had been farther apart, Yue Qingtian would have reacted sooner.

"Unless it's the ultimate move of a Superior Combat Technique, it's difficult."

Ji Jingqiu silently placed his hand back on the hilt of his blade.

"Then he's definitely in Profound Meditation."

Relieved, the thoughts in his mind became clear and lively. Zhuang Yanxing, blessed by fortune, suddenly realized:

Ordinary warriors lacked the qualifications to forge a Superior Body of Power. They followed the conventional path, reaching the Enlightenment Realm before being halted by their Mind Cultivation.

In the video, the strike seemed incredibly fast, like a thunderous blow, but it was so heavy?!

The glimmering spear tips burst in the air, the spearhead carrying immense force, stirring the air and emitting a sound like tearing thick cloth!

"What constitutes the aura of a master or a Superior Body of Power?"

In non-Great Contest eras, Daoists were considered to possess the aura of the Sun Blaze.

But he was still very satisfied.

What is a Grand Master?

Zhuang Yanxing gave Ji Jingqiu a strange look: "Brother Ji, have you ever seen a Grand Master?"

Just like the previous sea of spear tips, but even more awe-inspiring and captivating, in an instant, she had closed in on Ji Jingqiu!

"Sorry, I've already sent Ran Tianye back."

"The data shows he's in Profound Meditation..."

"Long time no see."

"Oh? And the result..." Yun Jinghe suddenly fell silent, then realized, "No wonder."

Diao Xingyun looked up at the large screen and murmured.

"This only proves that his Heart Electro Technique is powerful, and his Mind Secret Technique is of a high level, and when combined with sound... Is it the Dragon Roar Tiger Roar of the Dragon Tiger Dojo?"

Suddenly, Zhuang Yanxing declared: "There's no such thing as 'more difficult'. For 99.99% of talented warriors, these three are insurmountable heavenly chasms! Achieving any one of them makes one a true Martial Sun Blaze!"

"Indeed, it's challenging to measure the 'aura of a Grand Master' with a specific standard, but if you defeat all the warriors with the 'aura of a master' in this generation, wouldn't that be the 'aura of a Grand Master'?"

This girl from the Lionheart Dao gave Ji Jingqiu a similar feeling to the Seven-Layer Slayer, not in appearance or bloodline, but in the similarity of their martial paths.

Ji Jingqiu secretly admired and realized that what his Formless Dao Body needed was combat.

The other person shuddered and quickly replied, "Brother Ji, are you talking about the Seven-Layer Slayer? That senior was indeed exceptional. Typically, after forging the Dharmic Body Embryo and encountering the principles, there's a chance to comprehend the mysteries of the God of Martial Dao before reaching the Enlightenment Realm."

Fang Buyu had nothing to summarize; he was inferior to Diao Xingyun in every aspect, and the result was a crushing defeat.

Yue Qingtian roared, and his broad blade managed to block Ji Jingqiu's heavy slash at the critical moment, but the terrifying force caused his face to twitch, and his feet sank into the floor.

"Hmm... This doesn't affect his past dominance over his peers and his defiance of the older generation."

Ji Jingqiu didn't dodge and caught the strike with his long blade!

"There are three standards for the aura of a master: first, achieving martial enlightenment before the Enlightenment Realm; second, surpassing perfection in body formation, reaching 99.9%, and infinitely approaching the true Innate Dao Body; and third, achieving Profound Meditation."

Without waiting for Yue Qingtian to celebrate, he clearly felt that under this psychic energy invasion, his mental defenses were as thin as paper...

"The Federation doesn't have the term 'Master's Aura'. Even the one on the seventh floor, although many people thought he had the potential to become a Master in the future, but in the end, he didn't become a Master before he disappeared."

"How so?"

Mind Secret Technique!

"Are they all here? How do we fight?"

"If you're not good enough, then you're not good enough. What excuses are you looking for? If you're not satisfied, I'll fight you again!"

Ji Jingqiu's good memory has always been one of his strengths.

"For example, the first standard is to elevate the 'Master's Aura' to the 'Master's Aura'." Zhuang Yanxing carefully chose his words.

Ji Jingqiu narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Who do you think is the strongest among those who entered the virtual arena tonight, and who is most likely to stay until the end?"

Ji Jingqiu felt the consumed Qi in his body and the backlash from using the Unity Art consecutively in a short period. He knew that he needed to finish the fight quickly.

Ji Jingqiu noticed that this time, Diao Xingyun's ten fingers were gripping the gun barrel, and an unimaginable force erupted from his fingers. In just an instant, the gun barrel suddenly disappeared from his field of vision!

"They didn't appear tonight?"

...

"There are currently seven people left. List five more, and if you guess three of them correctly, I'll let you off for badmouthing me."

Additionally, the relationship between him and Zhuang Yanxing is "he asks, Zhuang answers," not the other way around.

Diao Xingyun shook his head and smiled, "Soon, I'm starting to regret not joining the fight earlier."

It was from him that he learned about everyone's intelligence.

Just as Zhuang Yanxing was reluctantly accepting this reality, Ji Jingqiu caressed the knife handle and asked in confusion, "So, Daoist is Sun King? Are there too many Sun Blazes in this world? I teach them a lesson!"

So, the "Brother Ji" before him is actually a few months... younger than him?

He thought about this trip back, in addition to his daily cultivation, he also needed to urge the Bodhimanda Fruit from the Supreme Buddha Sect.

Ji Jingqiu took a breath and turned to face the crazed Fang Buyu who was rushing towards him.

[Number of People You Have Defeated: 6]



"His psychic energy is strong because he went to the Crimson Red Laboratory, which can be explained. But for Mind Concentration, he's only a few years old, has he been in contact with the Meditation Diagram for half a year?"

Too fast? Ji Jingqiu recalled, and indeed, it seemed to be the case. He had only been practicing martial arts for a few months, and his Superior Body of Power was almost complete.

"Haha, then I have to bet on Brother Ji! I bet one million on Ji Jingqiu!"

Mu Juncheng entered the room and also noticed the scratch marks on the wall. He smiled and said, "Even these little Easter eggs were found by you guys?"

Indeed, there seems to be some truth to this.

"Divine Script?" Ji Jingqiu asked, "What Divine Script?"

It looked very similar, but it was just a hollow shell, completely lacking the inner essence and intent.
