Chapter 49: Do I Still Need Sharpness?
Chapter 49: Do I Still Need Sharpness?
Speaking of which, Ji Jingqiu is still using his favors to practice martial arts at Yang Yan Martial Arts Academy. But is Yang Laotou repaying his favors or accumulating more?
Mei Jie fell into deep thought.
The mere thought of dipping into her hard-earned savings made her lose her usual composure and confidence.
Martial artists earn a lot, but they also spend a lot!
For someone like her in the Shackles Realm, cultivating bloodflesh divinity was an expensive endeavor, and after that, there was the need for nourishment, followed by ascension...
Each step of the way required corresponding resources and wages, and those damn market setters—the mega-corporations—had it all calculated!
Martial artists within the Federation system had it slightly better; although they earned less, they had access to internal prices, and for them, the most important thing was merit points.
But for weak and helpless women like her, they could only rely on their own frail and powerless hands to work.
Seeing that the fire was almost out, Mu Lao casually said:
"You better think it over."
He then turned and returned to the instruments.
"Huh?"
A moment later, Mu Lao stared at the data chart, his calm expression giving way to agitation as he focused on several abnormal data points. Without turning back, he asked,
"Are you sure he hasn't opened the Celestial Human Gate?"
Mei Jie, who was distracted, nodded and said, "I, a Shackles Realm martial artist, should be able to see that."
Mu Lao fell silent.
Suddenly, Mei Jie realized and leaned in, asking, "What's wrong?"
Mu Lao pointed to the data display, knowing that Mei Jie wouldn't understand. He said directly, "His current comprehensive physique has already reached 96 points."
Mei Jie was well aware of the significance of this score and frowned, "Did you check for a natural body the last time you examined him?"
Before opening the Heaven Gate, his physique could rival that of a First Limit Breaker?
"That's the problem. No." Mu Lao's eyes flickered, his expression filled with emotion, "If I haven't guessed wrong, it's probably related to the gene enhancement agent."
Mei Jie rarely saw Mu Lao in such an excited state, even when he heard that Ji Jingqiu had seen the Bodhi. This guy was simply shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Gene enhancement agents... can break through the Celestial Human Gate?" Mei Jie asked solemnly.
The importance of the Celestial Human Five Limits lies in the fact that it directly determines the subsequent realm breakthroughs.
In today's martial world, where both life and cultivation are cultivated, the obstacles to a martial artist's advancement before Mind Image are often in mental cultivation. But after Mind Image, the obstacles are mostly in the body!
There are too many Mind Image martial artists who, due to insufficient foundation in the early stages, never have the chance to advance to the Celestial Human Realm.
The mind is like water, and the body is the vessel that holds the water.
The Celestial Human Five Limits determine whether you are a shallow pool or a deep lake.
"It's not just a problem with the gene enhancement agent; I need time to research!"
Mu Lao suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and said in a low voice,
"I can't rule out the possibility that Ji Jingqiu is an exceptional case.
Even if we figure it out, there are still numerous issues with gene enhancement, and it's impossible to promote it on a large scale. But...
This is a direction!
A crucial direction!"
Finally, he gave a low laugh, "As long as there are results, even if we can't promote it widely, we can still apply it to this kid. Some people think that 99.9 is the limit, while 99.99 requires great opportunity or innate talent. But I believe that I can achieve it!"
Mei Jie narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Breaking the Seventh Limit, a feat never before achieved..."
When the inspection was over, Mu Lao took a genetic sample from Ji Jingqiu before letting him leave with satisfaction.
Mei Jie escorted Ji Jingqiu to the door, her beautiful face sometimes obscured and sometimes illuminated by the light.
Just before they parted ways, she finally stopped Ji Jingqiu and asked earnestly, "Are you about to break the limit? Have you prepared the necessary life supplements?"
Ji Jingqiu nodded, "I've prepared four Life Model Five supplements."
Mei Jie was stunned; one Life Model Five supplement costs three million, and he had bought four of them?
She couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get the money?"
"A brother I recently met helped them complete a task not long ago." Ji Jingqiu explained briefly.
In an instant, her delicate and slender fingers, like jade that could divide gold and shatter stone, clenched tightly.
In her heart, she silently thought, Mu Lao was right; this world is never short of people seeking diamonds.
Ji Jingqiu felt a chill in the air around him for no apparent reason and looked around in confusion.
Where is the cold air duct leaking?
Sister Mei suddenly said, "Jingqiu, do you remember that you still owe me a favor?"
Jingqiu replied earnestly, "Of course I haven't forgotten. Today, my promise to Mu Lao is also valid for Sister Mei."
On that face, which simultaneously exuded a clear and charming beauty, a smile suddenly bloomed. She extended her slender fingers, pinching Jingqiu's face, and said with a light laugh:
"Next time we meet, I'll give you a big gift, sister."
...
...
Over the next few days.
Life was calm and peaceful.
Without any distractions from other trivial matters, Jingqiu immersed himself entirely in his martial arts training.
Previously, when he had infused the gene enhancement agent to metamorphose his bones, he intentionally carved out a river along the 'mountain range' within his body, making it increasingly clear and distinct.
Starting yesterday, he practiced his stance, and the energy within his body continuously filled his limbs and bones, like a vessel overflowing with water.
This proved that his pulse-opening progress was nearing completion, only lacking the final push.
On this day, Jingqiu didn't rush to break through the final barrier but instead carefully sensed the mountain and river formations within his body.
At six o'clock, he went to the library to read!
Compared to completing the pulse-opening, this aspect was even more important.
With the blessing of the wisdom light, his 'gaze' followed the energy as it flowed through his muscles, bones, and meridians. He saw the 'mountain range' towering and majestic, and the 'river' winding like a dragon...
All the energy eventually converged at a single acupoint, like a hundred rivers merging.
His body was like a green mountain, and his energy was like water. He had already achieved this completely.
But he always felt that he was still lacking something.
He pondered and finally realized what he was missing—'realness' or 'vitality.'
Currently, he could only maintain the flow of energy throughout his body by practicing his stance and breathing technique. But he felt that since the water followed the mountain's contours, why was external force interference necessary?
It should naturally form a self-sustaining cycle.
For this reason, Jingqiu sought advice from Yang Shi.
In the brightly lit room, Yang Shi sat cross-legged, listening to Jingqiu's doubts. He contemplated and said:
"I understand your thoughts. This is different from maintaining the breathing technique in your sleep. It's a more advanced pursuit, something beyond your current reach."
"You're seeking a grand unification cycle at the physical level, but your body isn't strong enough to support such a cycle yet."
"However, the fact that you've realized this at this moment and are trying to explore it already puts you ahead of most martial artists."
Yang Yan sighed, and Jingqiu, who had a martial insight, had already formed a nascent idea of grand unification of the body and life force during the pulse-opening stage.
"Once you break through the true seed and forge your body, you can try to achieve this step."
Yang Yan advised.
"I understand, Yang Shi," Jingqiu nodded. "I'm just one step away from pulse-opening. Do I need to wait any longer?"
Yang Yan paused slightly:
"If it were anyone else, they would naturally break through as soon as they could. But since it's you, you need to be fully prepared. Let's do it tomorrow."
"The essence of pulse-opening lies in refining the muscles and bones. It's not complicated. The real key is to take advantage of the post-refinement state to open the Gate of the Celestial Human. This is the most crucial part."
"The subtleties within this are not something outsiders can understand. Tomorrow, after you complete the pulse-opening, you will sense it in your heart. Just follow the direction of your heart flame."
At this point, Yang Yan paused slightly: "Once you open the Gate of the Celestial Human, there's no turning back. From then on, you must strive for excellence, clearing obstacles and cutting through thorns. Are you ready for this?"
Jingqiu thought for a moment and replied, "I've been preparing for this day."
Yang Yan suddenly said, "Some say that sixteen years of hardships have dulled your sharp spirit, but I think just the opposite!"
"Sharp spirit?" Jingqiu asked, puzzled.
"Indeed! On the path of martial arts, especially when breaking through limits, one must nurture a sharp and unstoppable spirit within!"
Yang Yan suddenly sat upright, his eyes gleaming with an intimidating aura.
Jingqiu's heart remained unmoved.
He pondered that in his dreams, he had to dominate heaven and earth, and nurturing his sharp spirit would be like jumping to the moon.
It's getting late. I bow to the readers. To be honest, I've been feeling anxious and insecure lately, and I've been losing sleep for many days because this book has been doing so well, achieving unprecedented success. Perhaps I've been overthinking it, constantly worrying about various aspects. I feel that Jingqiu doesn't need a sharp spirit... Please bear with me as I adjust my mindset. Rest assured, the updates won't lag.
