Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree Chapter 56 53 The First Day of Missing True Buddha

"Eldest Brother, can martial artists who have broken through the Five Limits compete against those with established cultivation bodies?"

"At the level of Five Limits, they can barely compete with lower rank cultivation bodies," Yang Yao said, "The improvent in cultivation bodies is much greater than you imagine."

"Keep practicing!"

"In a few days, I'll take you to the lower layer to carry out a mission, to witness and engage in the most real combat and fighting."

"Lower layer?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "What mission?"

"The mission issued by the Order Office. The targets are usually martial artists who have committed cris, refuse to surrender, and have fled to the lower layer, or mbers of so underground societies," Yang Yao explained.

Practicing combat skills must be done through actual combat.

At this point, Yang Yao thought for a mont, perhaps he should bring Liuzi over to practice actual combat with Jing Qiu?

Forget it, don't want to grind away Liuzi's little remaining heart qi.

In the path of martial arts, the gap between geniuses and ordinary people is difficult to asure.

Liuzi's talent in martial arts can only be considered that of an ordinary person. However, he does have so talent in managent, as he handles the daily affairs of the Martial Arts Hall.

*Yang Yao thought, in the Taian City Martial Arts Association, the highest achievent in body refining at the sa ti was breaking the third limit of Heavenly Person?*

*At Junior Brother's current speed...*

*A month, or half a month?*

*Junior Brother should be able to break through the Second Limit.*

*He also seems to have a special physique, comparing the first layer breaking limit with the second layer.*

*Wow, in half a month, Junior Brother could dominate the Taian City Body Refining Realm!*

*Tsk, this planet is still too small.*

*But it's not a big problem, being invincible at the sa level ans surpassing the level. What genius doesn't surpass the level?*

*The lower layer lacks everything except the monstrous creatures—martial arts consumables.*

"Continue, master the stance, start practicing unard combat skills, and always maintain the core stance during this period, with constant power!"

"You must rember, if the core stance is not ingrained in your heart, no matter how well you practice scattered hand skills, it's just a flashy technique. When it cos to actual combat, you'll find yourself in a difficult situation."

"Don't understand? Co, I'll practice a few moves with you."

Yang Yao waved his hand, letting Ji Jingqiu attack with a few simple scattered hand moves he had just learned.

Ji Jingqiu cooperated as if flowing naturally, punching towards the face.

Yang Yao twitched his mouth, this kid was really not holding back!

He countered with similar scattered hand moves that Ji Jingqiu had mastered, maintaining speed and strength at a level similar to Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu quickly realized that his variations in moves were far less flexible than his Eldest Brother's, always able to handle one situation but not another.

It was not just a matter of proficiency in moves, but a lack of connection between the variations.

"Do you understand now?"

Yang Yao dismantled his moves one by one, saying,

"During the change of moves, it needs connection. Without connection, flaws will appear in between.

It might be too late for defense during an attack, or you might miss the chance to counterattack because your stance is too tight when defending the opponent's attack."

"This is the situation where you can attack but not defend, and defend but not attack."

"And this connection is the core stance. Its significance is not only the operation of power but also the foundation of your offense and defense."

"If you understand, continue practicing."

"No, your core stance is still superficial!"

"Continue!"

"Good, it's getting interesting this ti! Continue!"

In the distance, Luo Xi and Zhang Xingshan watched the activity over here.

Ji Jingqiu was knocked down ti and again, yet stood up each ti.

The two exchanged a glance before returning to their pile skill training.

They all hoped to join the ranks of their Eldest Brother and Ji Jingqiu soon!

...

Sweat poured like rain.

Ji Jingqiu lay spread-eagle on the training field, feeling utterly drained, even lifting a finger seed laborious.

Yang Yao carried a syringe that looked expensive at first glance, ca to his side, and chuckled,

"Co feel the charm of three million."

With that, he injected a Life Type 5 into Ji Jingqiu's body.

Ji Jingqiu took a long breath.

The dicinal power of the Life Type 5 quickly took effect in his body.

It was as if, after starving for three days, a bowl of hot porridge filled him, the sense of satisfaction seeped through his limbs and bones, reaching his soul.

"Eldest Brother, actually, I don't have many friends," Ji Jingqiu suddenly said.

As Yang Yao flicked the syringe to see if any residue was left, he was stunned.

Ji Jingqiu continued on his own,

"You probably know my family situation; now it's just and my grandfather living together. My grandfather has long beco accustod to my condition but is powerless to change it, so he runs out every day to play mahjong, which is just an escape."

"My personal situation made it impossible for to go to school like normal people. A patient with Evil Poison Disease who could collapse at any mont would scare other students."

"I never really had friends my age until I t you. Eldest Brother, can I share my joys and troubles with you all?"

Ji Jingqiu's sincere expression of feelings moved Yang Yao.

In fact, including himself, the backgrounds of Liuzi and Wei'er were quite tragic.

They were all victims of the Supre True Buddha Sect, but fortunately t their master, who adopted them.

Yang Yao still rembered the first ti he saw Yao Wei. The nine-year-old girl was sitting blankly in a pool of blood, flanked by her parents' corpses...

If it weren't for their master lifting her out of the blood with both hands, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape the narrow and brutal hell in her life, much less smile with dimples as she does now.

There was also himself and Liuzi.

And now, those who once received help from their master were happy to help Ji Jingqiu.

Thinking of this, Yang Yao's eyes softened, and he smiled broadly,

"Jing Qiu, both I and Liuzi, have already considered you, Xingshan, and Xi'er as junior brothers and sisters.

As your senior brothers and sisters, we will understand you and care for you as our lovely younger siblings.

So, no matter what troubles or joys you have, feel free to share them with us!"

Ji Jingqiu was moved, "Eldest Brother, I've broken the limit of the blade in one day!"

Yang Yao, "... Start extra training!"

...

Extra training concluded.

It rained a little today.

Although his body was exhausted, Ji Jingqiu stood at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall, looking at the rain beyond the eaves with a cheerful mood.

Raindrops fell from the sky, smashing into the shallow puddles between the steps ahead, blurring the sky and eaves reflected in the water.

The core stance that his Eldest Brother taught him today was already fully mastered.

With the astonishing wisdom of Wisdom Light, it wasn't difficult.

Rembering his Eldest Brother's montarily stiff face earlier, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but feel amused.

He wasn't a prankster by nature, but the interaction with his Eldest Brother made him truly feel like he had gained a reliable older brother.

In these sixteen years, the hardest ti for him to endure was the days after losing his parents in this life.

During those days, Ji Jingqiu's heart qi almost snapped, collapsing completely.

Yet, the atmosphere in the Martial Arts Hall made him feel as if he had returned to another ho.

He hadn't lied earlier.

His frequent illness had prevented him from going to school and making friends like normal people.

But he found a group of lovely friends online. Not only were they all talented, but they also spoke well.

In reality, apart from the aunties and uncles in the snack street, he had always been alone.

So, the snack street was also his favorite place to go.

And now, he had another place—the Martial Arts Hall.

After a brief rest, Ji Jingqiu turned back into the room, preparing for ditation.

He once only wanted to survive,

And now, he also wanted to pursue strength to protect what he already had, to prevent further loss.

Thinking of the first day of True Buddha.
