Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree Chapter 178 125 Lower Your Brows by Four Points, Part 2

Yin Hua pretended not to hear, ignoring the fact that Fang Buyu from Tianfang Dojo had been compensated with a soldier by Ji Jingqiu?!

Their Mude Daoist School also had a representative tonight, but he was defeated by Yin Wushuang from the Heavenly Sword Dojo, and he didn't even get to face Ji Jingqiu.

"Tonight's battle was fierce, with six people taking turns in the assault; the strongest among them were undoubtedly Ji Jingqiu and Mu Juncheng," soone praised. "I'm looking forward to the Great Martial Arts Competition even more now."

"A gathering of the Group Stars, a collection of genius martial artists, it's naturally worth the anticipation."

"An era of greatness..."

Suddenly, so were filled with anticipation, as if they could see a splendid era shining with stars; while others slowly furrowed their brows, harboring hidden worries, for an era of greatness often heralds the beginning of chaotic tis.

"Alright, let's discuss tonight's battle situation. With today's battle over, the first place is naturally Ji Jingqiu, and as for the second..."

At this point, a representative from the Military Departnt stood up, hesitant, as if unsure of their stance and seeking the opinions of others.

"The second place is Mu Juncheng, what's there to hesitate about?" others asked.

"...Well, if we go by the rules of this martial contest, no matter the ans, whoever survives to the end is the winner. Therefore, the second place should rightfully go to Zhuang Yanxing from the Heavenly chanism Dojo," said the military representative, his expression odd.

"Zhuang Yanxing... Who is Zhuang Yanxing?"

"Isn't this term's Daoist of the Heavenly chanism Dojo called Duan Xuanji?"

Everyone exchanged glances.

Previously, their attention was on the six-person lee, and they had completely overlooked the fortunate lad who had been following Ji Jingqiu around as an intelligence officer, hiding on the sidelines.

"This... Naturally, the second place should belong to Mu Juncheng."

"Heh, I think Zhuang Yanxing would be a fair choice as well."

"That's too frivolous."

"This is after all a private skirmish; besides, whatever decisions we make here don't really matter. As for who is stronger and who is weaker, those young people have their own judgnts," soone said with a light laugh.

The representative from the Military Departnt nodded: "I'll clarify the situation, and as for the final verdict, let the higher-ups decide."

The night ca to an end, and the observers started to leave one after another.

Among them, Song Youde, who ca as a representative from the Dragon Tiger Dojo, was surrounded by many people urging him to treat them.

"Oh, right." Before leaving, soone deliberately lagged behind and asked a researcher responsible for adjusting the virtual world, "Can we get a copy of tonight's battle video?"

"I'm sorry, that's not possible in principle," the researcher replied.

The person stepped closer and whispered, "And what about non-principled instances?"

The researcher stepped back and said sternly, "Not possible, even more so! The data from this fight is very important and cannot be leaked."

"Not even the battle video?" the person persisted.

If they could take the video from today's battle back with them, they could use it for subsequent analysis, to find potential weaknesses in these martial artists and determine their current Martial Arts path and inclinations...

Like the final moves revealed by Ji Jingqiu and the other five.

In today's world of Martial Arts competition, intelligence is crucial.

"No." The researcher shook his head.

"Alright then." The person could only leave helplessly.

...

...

Inside the banquet hall.

"Duan! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Duan on taking second place for his apprentice!"

...

Listening to the surrounding congratulations, Duan Xuanji had a helpless expression, pondering how to extricate himself from the current "predicant" when he suddenly had a bright idea and said:

"It's been a while, why haven't Ji and Mu co out yet? Could it be that they look down on us and don't want to continue drinking with us?"

At that statent,

Many of the Martial Arts talents present, as if on cue, checked the ti and imdiately clamored for the host and the winner of the night to co out and toast.

...

After leaving the virtual world,

Ji Jingqiu was invited to a private room where Mu Juncheng was already waiting.

"Do you know Elder Mu?" Mu Juncheng's voice was noticeably more cordial, "Elder Mu is of the Xuan generation in our family, nad Mu Xuanying."

After speaking, he also displayed an old photo on the terminal.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the old man in the photo, nodded, and confird, "He is Elder Mu that I know. You could say he led into the path of Martial Arts."

Upon hearing these words, Mu Juncheng suddenly recalled that not long ago, Elder Mu had sent him a ssage asking about the Sixth Limit.

At that ti, his answer was that it was hopeless for the mont.

Yet not long after, the Sixth Limit was confird to be opened, which sowhat embarrassed him.

As soon as he received the news, he relayed it to Elder Mu.

The elder's reply was simple, just a single "Hmm", leaving Mu Juncheng unsure whether Elder Mu was indifferent or unsurprised.

But now, thinking back...

Mu Juncheng gazed at Ji Jingqiu, curious and amazed.

If the news was correct, the man in front of him was one of the key figures in breaking open the Sixth Limit!

After confirming Ji Jingqiu's relationship with Elder Mu, Mu Juncheng's deanor and tone beca much friendlier, and he started a conversation with Ji Jingqiu about Elder Mu's recent situation.

Learning that Elder Mu was still persevering in his research, Mu Juncheng felt a sigh in his heart.

Elder Mu was not cut out for practicing Martial Arts; he left ho after quarreling with his family. Unexpectedly, over the years, he wound up guiding a genius martial artist like Ji Jingqiu.

Given Elder Mu's relationship, if Ji Jingqiu was willing, the main lineage of the Mu Family would probably be delighted to allow him to marry one of the family's daughters and beco part of the Mu Family.

This had always been the way for noble families to recruit talent.

However, after today's battle, based on his understanding of Ji Jingqiu, the latter would probably not be interested unless he truly took a fancy to soone.

Between martial artists, a single battle can reveal the true character of the opponent, which is no illusion.

The two chatted and soon the topic returned to Martial Arts, as there was really not too much to discuss about Elder Mu Xuanying.
