Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 123 You guys, you're not really here to drink, are you? (5k)

An invitation letter sent in the name of the Mu family stirred up the situation of the Four Guardian Stars in just one day.

That night, the clouds were magnificent, interweaving in the night sky like a fight between a dragon and a tiger.

Many young men with noble bearing strode to the top floor of Tianren Building with invitation letters in hand.

They looked at each other, their auras locked on each other, neither of them losing the upper hand.

This building is the tallest building among the Four Guardian Stars except for Baiyujing. Standing on the top floor, you can overlook most of Ziwei City. The city spreads out at your feet like a picture scroll.

"Tsk, you're not allowed to bring weapons in, and there's not even a fighting arena. Are you really here just to drink tonight?"

Diao Xingyun and his companions met at the door and walked together. They walked with great agility and were all outstanding people. When they entered together, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Yue Yourong, Zhang Bufan, Yue Qingtian... Hehe, there are quite a few geniuses here."

Bian Rong grinned. He had a strong body, with smooth and explosive muscle lines, deep eyes, and a hint of madness hidden in his calmness.

"...It's impossible that we can't fight. I heard from my elders that the Federation's virtual technology has made the latest breakthrough."

"Virtual technology?" Diao Xingyun shook his head. "That's not fun."

Yin Wushuang's eyes were like swords. He responded to every look cast at him, and said calmly, "Virtual? That is a void creation. The Federation's virtual technology has long been swept into the garbage heap."

Everyone looked at him, as they had all heard of related legends.

Yin Wushuang said nonchalantly: "This gathering is probably not only Mu Juncheng's idea, but also because the higher-ups want to see the style of the younger generation, so it is very likely that some of the latest technology will be used. Let's look forward to it."

Diao Xingyun's eyes flickered as he said, "I took a look around and found that they are basically the same as us, with their physical progress below the Great Perfection level. Is this an advance rehearsal for the selection competition in two months?"

"Once you have achieved great success, you will be able to initially control the incomplete principles of law..." Yin Wushuang said with a smile, "It seems that our battlefield tonight is still unable to bear the weight of the principles of law."

Several of them have teachers, and they usually come into contact with high-level federal secrets. Their words revealed the mystery of tonight.

"So where is Ji Jingqiu?" Diao Xingyun looked around, "I must experience this glimmer of hope tonight!"

Hearing about this knife, several people were a little overwhelmed.

Several people slowly walked into the depths and took drinks from the waiter.

"People from Tianji Taoist Temple are here too." Yun Jinghe glanced around and saw two young men in the corner.

The others all looked up.

The Tianji Dojo has never been very good at fighting in previous generations, but this generation has someone who can fight, which caused a sensation.

At this time.

A young girl in red walked lightly into the venue, her eyes as black as ink and full of spirit.

Her red dress was flowing and looked like a blooming flower. Her lips were light red and her eyes held a hint of laziness and charm.

Her bright smile seemed to brighten up the banquet hall, attracting many people's attention, especially the servants in the room. They were just ordinary people and did not move away for a long time, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping their hearts.

Soon, she locked her gaze on the crowd and walked quickly towards the two people from Tianji Dojo.

"This crazy woman is here too." Bian Rong narrowed his eyes, his gaze solemn. It was obvious that he took the other party very seriously and regarded her as a strong enemy.

Diao Xingyun asked curiously, "I heard that you had a fight with this woman last time. How did it end?"

Bian Rong was born in the Federation's first dojo, the Tianshen Dojo. He is one of the current strong contenders for Daozi, and his strength is unquestionable.

"Tie."

Bian Rong said in a deep voice,
"But it's hard to say after you have built your body. I was able to win at the beginning because of my physical strength. This crazy woman's martial arts skills are far superior to mine, but she is born with deficiencies and a weak physique."

"My master said that her boxing intention is very pure. Once she forges the [Cang Jue Dao Body], she will be able to go against her innate nature and supplement her innate foundation. Her combat power will make a qualitative leap."

Yin Wushuang narrowed his eyes and said, "This is... Shi Xin'an, the Grandmaster's disciple?"

"Not bad!" Bian Rong added, "By the way, this crazy woman's strongest skill is boxing!"

"Boxing?!" Diao Xingyun was stunned and couldn't help but look at the girl in red again. He felt that the style didn't match the painting, but he felt that [Cang Jue Dao Body] sounded very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Tonight, there are many strong men." Bian Rong smiled, his rough face, which was inconsistent with his age, looked a little ferocious, and his breathing became heavier.

The other few people looked at each other and advised:

"Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it a little longer..."

……

……

"...The white-haired man is Pei Jing, his hair is dyed. Don't be fooled by his cold appearance, he is actually very strong inside! He is a Daozi level 1..."

"That's Qin Fen, a civilian warrior recruited by Tianshuang Heavy Enterprise. He entered the martial arts world a little late and is now eighteen years old, but he is very talented and has been unstoppable all the way. He looks calm, but he is actually frivolous and likes to have his feet washed..."

"Yue Qingtian, the son of the Qingtian giant company, but he doesn't have the air of a second-generation dandy. Instead, he has a lot of chivalrous spirit and is worth making friends with!"

Duan Xuanji felt a lot of pressure as he looked at his junior brother Zhuang Yanxing, who was eager to help Shi Xin'an introduce the strong people present.

The girl in front of you with a sweet smile is definitely not as sweet and lovely as she looks. She is practicing the [Lion Heart Way]!
Above the schools is the orthodoxy.

Only the master is qualified to establish a sect and preach.

[Lionheart Dao] is famous for its tyranny. All the inheritors in the past generations are tyrannical and their boxing skills are unrivaled among their peers.

As for why this person appeared...

Not for anything else, just for the title of "Seventh Level Sword Slayer".

The Lionheart Dao has been passed down for eight hundred years. There have been many disciples who have come out to practice and gain experience, and there have been few failures. However, it suffered a complete and utter defeat more than a hundred years ago!

For a warrior who carries a legacy, the worst thing is not losing to a warrior of the same generation, but being defeated in everything from martial arts to boxing by a warrior who follows the same path!
"…The ones over there are Yue Yourong and Zhang Shanming. They are members of the society. There are not many people from the society today. There are only four talented warriors at the Daozi level."

"You're asking about Yue Yourong? My master said that this woman has the demeanor of a master. Zhang Shanming is not good. He looks elegant, but he is actually narrow-minded..."

Zhuang Yanxing was talking without noticing that he was being stared at by several people, some unfriendly, some cold.

Duan Xuanji on the side moved away silently.

I'm going to teach my junior brother a lesson tonight and tell him not to control his mouth when he sees a beautiful woman!
Everyone here is a warrior who has forged a superior body of martial arts. They have sharp five senses and don't even need to block their qi when speaking. Are you afraid that others won't hear you exposing other people's secrets?
Shi Xin'an blinked and suddenly asked, "Where is Ji Jingqiu who made it through the eighth floor? Why didn't I see him? What do you think of him?"

Hearing the girl in front of him mention the man's name, Zhuang Yanxing blurted out: "This guy is not good!"

In an instant, many people in the field looked at him.

……

Ji Jingqiu stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window of the banquet hall, looking at the ever-deep night sky.

From this angle, most of the city is at your feet.

"Are you bored too?"

Someone beside him said coldly.

Through the light and shadow reflected by the window glass, there was a tall girl with short hair and wearing martial arts clothes. She had long legs and a figure that was strong yet graceful under the outline of the clothes. Her face was calm and there was a strange rhythm in every breath she took.

She and Ji Jingqiu stood side by side in front of the window, looking into the distance with somewhat cold expressions.

In front of them, the huge French window was reflecting the scene of many people behind them talking and laughing, toasting and flattering each other...

Ji Jingqiu raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on the vast sky, and said:
“It’s a bit boring.”

"These past two days, many people have said that you rejected everyone's invitation, but only accepted the invitation from the Mu family, implying that you are a sycophant. Aren't you angry?"

“I don’t live for other people.”

The girl nodded, her face expressionless under her short black hair, like a touch of frost in winter:
"My name is Qin Qingjue. I'm 17 years old, one year older than you. My birthday is May 5th. I'm 4 meters tall. I like eating ice cream... I have forged the [Heavenly Sword Body], and I've learned swordsmanship. I look forward to having a fair fight with you in two months."

After saying that, she stretched out her long legs and walked away from the other side as if no one was around.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the girl's back as she left through the glass window, his eyes vague but solemn.

The aura of Dharma from this person is extremely strong. He is the strongest person he has seen so far in the field. Is his skill highly accomplished, or perfect?

But what the hell is this self-introduction?

In addition... [Heavenly Sword Body]?
……

Mu Juncheng stood on a high place, his eyes swept across the whole place, but he didn't see a familiar woman. He shook his head slightly and said to the people around him:
"Sister Qingjue should have left. Don't worry about her. She has already achieved great success and cannot participate in the projection battle tonight."

"I see." The old man beside him nodded and said, "Is Young Master Mu going to enter?" Mu Juncheng smiled helplessly and said, "I've wanted to enter for a long time. If I don't enter now, I'm afraid everyone will be impatient."

The old man smiled and said, "What they mean is that everyone should wait a little longer. If you wait impatiently, you will naturally get angry easily later."

Hearing this, Mu Juncheng didn't know how to comment. The Federation wanted to see the quality of this generation of young warriors, but they had to put him on the fire.

……

Shi Xin'an looked slightly strange, she didn't expect Zhuang Yanxing to say this, and asked with a half-smile:
"You think Ji Jingqiu is not good enough?"

Zhuang Yanxing's scalp tightened, and he regretted what he had just said, but he had already said it, and there was no room for retraction, so he could only forcefully complete it:

"I'm not talking about martial arts, but about his character. You may not know how many people wanted to invite him to a banquet recently, but he ignored them all. Everyone thought he was obsessed with martial arts, but the Mu family invited him with just an invitation, so many people secretly said that he was currying favor with the powerful..."

Duan Xuanji, who was not far away, shook his head secretly, thinking that his junior brother really needed to be taught a lesson.

Looks smart, but actually stupid.

The conversations in the room faded away at some point.

Shi Xin'an smiled brightly and said, "What do you think of his strength? Among all the people present tonight."

Zhuang Yanxing hesitated for a moment, and finally, under the girl's eager gaze, he mustered up the courage to say:

"His physique is strong, but his martial arts are weak. But after he has forged a superior body, his martial arts are more advantageous than his physique!"

"In addition, if the battle is tonight, his chances of winning are not great, because many people present tonight have made more progress than him. For example, my senior brother has already made 41% progress. In terms of physical strength alone, he is definitely better than him now!"

The main focus of superior physical training is on the law and supernatural powers, and the strengthening of the physique is just a byproduct. But even if it is just a byproduct, the improvement is extremely terrifying.

The strengthening of the physical body originally had its limits, but after the legal principles were engraved, the physical body was like being freed from restrictions and shackles, and could enter the realm of the inhuman.

During this period, a large amount of precious medicines were used, not only to make up for the damage and loss to the body when engraving the principles, but also to continuously strengthen the body.

Ji Jingqiu currently spends nearly five million federal coins on resources a day!

Many of the people present are core disciples in their respective forces, and their losses in this regard are no less than Ji Jingqiu's, and are of the highest standard.

In the same situation, the higher the progress, the stronger the physique will naturally be.

Shi Xinqian said thoughtfully, "Hearing what you said, it seems that this guy is short of stamina."

After getting the girl's approval, Zhuang Yanxing was about to continue "talking briefly about his own views" when he noticed the cold gaze of his senior brother, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

Is he...too presumptuous?
at this time.

Mu Juncheng entered the venue, and everyone's attention shifted to one of the protagonists of the night.

Everyone present was a martial arts genius, so they were not overly flattering towards Mu Juncheng's appearance. Instead, many of them were eager to fight.

Feeling everyone's kindness, Mu Juncheng smiled, suddenly looked towards a corner of the conference hall, and said loudly:
"Brother Ji, don't you feel bored standing there alone?"

The words fell.

Everyone present turned their eyes to the second protagonist of the night.

It was a young man standing in front of the French window. His face was not particularly handsome, but he was handsome with determination and calmness, and had an indescribable spirit, especially his eyes, which were clear and calm. Overall, he didn't seem to be anything special at first glance, but the more you looked at him, the brighter his face would be.

He has a tall and slender figure, not the tall and stocky type. He even looks a little thin compared to some of the strong warriors in the field.

But no one present would think so, because they had all seen it in the video, or even climbed to the eighth floor, and personally felt the oppressive feeling of pure speed and pure force!

Under that clothing, there is an inhuman body that is comparable to a monster!

He stood there straight, his expression calm and composed. The light from above his head cast a shadow on the ground like a long knife pointing at Mu Juncheng.

A heavy atmosphere arose in the scene.

“Actually, I’ve wanted to ask this for a long time…”

Facing everyone's gaze, Ji Jingqiu paused, raised the glass in his hand as if to toast everyone, but suddenly let go.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the cup, and an indescribable silence filled the air.

in their gaze.

The cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Countless tiny fragments reflected the brilliant lights in the banquet hall, as if reflecting everyone's mood.

The crisp and rapid sound of shattering broke the silence of the moment.

Accompanied by the young man's doubtful voice,

"Everyone, are you really here to drink tonight?"

There was silence in the field.

After an unknown amount of time, low laughter began to be heard from the crowd.

Yun Jinghe's eyes were burning, and he no longer cared about Bian Rong, who was laughing softly and had a look of madness in his eyes beside him.

The young man standing in the corner of the banquet hall, who was also one of the center of attention today, looked through the crowd and landed on the host of this place, grinning:

"How about I make a sample for everyone first."

"Brother Mu, please teach me."

The whole place remained in dead silence.

No one expected that this man would point his spearhead at the Mu family as soon as he came up, showing his fighting spirit without any concealment.

really.

The purpose of this person coming here is exactly the same as theirs.

Be sincere to martial arts, be loyal to martial arts, and be obsessed with martial arts.

In the crowd, Zhuang Yanxing was stunned. A faint voice of his senior brother came from beside him:

"After you go back, go and face the wall."

Mu Juncheng was silent for a moment, then took a step forward, a high-spirited smile slowly appeared on his face, and he spoke word by word:

"Looking forward to it!"

No nonsense, just four words.

Waiting for you!
In an instant, several streams of energy rose up.

Like a signal, countless energy surged with electrocardiograms, a battle rapidly expanded invisibly, unspeakable tension expanded in the banquet hall, and electrocardiograms collided with each other!

Everyone in the field was still standing there smiling, but their auras were intertwined and entangled, like an undercurrent in the deep sea, calm on the surface but actually surging.

The air in the banquet hall gradually became tense until slight fluctuations appeared, just like the violent collision of underwater undercurrents, causing ripples on the water surface, spreading out in circles that were visible to the naked eye!
"Bang bang bang-"

The silver bottle broke and water splashed out.

The fragile glass cups around suddenly exploded one after another.

The crisp sound echoed in the house.

This seems to be a signal.

The surge of undercurrent became more and more obvious and violent, and the air seemed to be filled with undercurrent whirlpools generated by the entanglement of Qi, which were heavy and sticky, and finally converged into a huge Qi vortex that drew everything present in.

The warriors present restrained and checked each other, and together pushed the atmosphere in the arena to its peak tonight!

Under these surging undercurrents, Zhuang Yanxing felt like a small boat in the undercurrent, being tossed around and at risk of sinking to the bottom of the river at any time.

Zhuang Yanxing looked pale and hid behind his senior brother with difficulty.

Although it was not there in his ears, a roar sounded in his mind, like a volcanic eruption under the deep sea!

In his perception, the banquet hall had been engulfed by the undercurrent caused by the entanglement of Qi.

The strongest ones among them were as bright as spiritual light, rushing straight into the sky, spanning the entire field, overwhelming everyone!
Ji Jingqiu, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, was one of them!

He was clearly the person who had spent the shortest time among the four guardian stars, but his telekinesis was as endless as the abyss, and his spiritual cultivation was even more unfathomable.

He even had enough energy to use himself as the center to draw a vast vortex of energy to press towards Mu Juncheng!
There is no false reputation behind such a great name!
