Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 62 Don’t go! Don’t be fooled!

Ji Jingqiu looked at the statue in front of him that he had worshipped for almost ten years.

Although he no longer believed in God, he still lit a few incense sticks.

Don’t ask, just believe it.

In fact, he had always doubted whether this god even existed.

Gods do exist in the Federation, but that doesn't stop them from being fabricated by scammers to deceive people.

For example, the lower-level temples are most likely created by gangs to deceive their subordinates. It is a name used to strengthen their beliefs and does not exist at all.

For gods in this era to be born and exist, they need the long-term worship of a large number of sentient beings.

Whether it is "large amount" or "long term", it means that it is not possible to just gather a team of amateurs to start a business.

The most direct point is, what value can your gods bring to believers?
Why do believers choose to believe in your gods instead of other gods?

As for this god in front of him, Ji Jingqiu had never heard of him appearing in the past ten years, and only a few people came to burn incense.

Even if it really exists, it would have run out of steam long ago.

After burning incense, Ji Jingqiu heard Grandpa Zhuang calling outside and suddenly became interested, and quickly walked out of the inner room.

"Jingqiu, I heard that you have already broken through the second limit of heaven and man. It's a good opportunity for me to control my brother Xiao to the second limit of heaven and man and practice with you."

Zhuang Fusheng patted Xiao Shanhe on the shoulder, and the latter suddenly felt that the energy and blood in his body were tightly locked up, and the strength and flexibility that his body could exert were almost at the level of the second limit of heaven and man.

He took a step forward, bowed, and said with a faint and warm smile on his face:
"Junior Brother Ji, let's just practice a few moves, focusing on harmony."

Ji Jingqiu also returned the greeting:
"Brother Xiao, please, but my overall physical fitness is higher than that of my peers, so Brother Xiao can let go a little more."

"Okay." Xiao Shanhe nodded seriously, thinking that this was not up to him...

The two men clasped their fists to each other, stepped back a few steps, and prepared to start.

Xiao Shanhe did not take the initiative to attack, but waited in a polite posture.

Ji Jingqiu didn't understand all these twists and turns, but that didn't stop him from taking the initiative to step forward.

When Xiao Shanhe saw Ji Jingqiu attacking him, his figure and spirit were like a tiger descending from the mountain. His eyes flashed, and he immediately recognized that the fighting technique he used was the Divine Tiger Technique from the Dragon and Tiger Dojo.

The Dragon and Tiger Dojo is ranked among the top five among the many dojos in the Federation, and the Divine Tiger Technique is one of its signature techniques.

It has only been two months since Ji Jingqiu started practicing martial arts. To what extent has he mastered it?
Soon, Xiao Shanhe got the answer.

As soon as the two men fought, their forces were offset, but Ji Jingqiu did not retreat but advanced instead. It seemed risky, but in fact he was extremely powerful and ruthless. He went straight to the center hall, vowing to decide the winner with Xiao Shanhe in one move.

With a violent sound of breaking wind.

Ji Jingqiu turned sideways, raised his shoulder, and thrust his elbow, and the fierce and sharp elbow strike reached Xiao Shanhe's chest in an instant.

It is the Iron Mountain Backing Technique commonly used in various fighting techniques.

Xiao Shanhe only took a step back and dodged the fierce attack by leaning sideways. His arm was like a long whip, and the whip was as fast as an arrow, aiming straight at Ji Jingqiu's neck at a tricky angle.

Ji Jingqiu raised his hand to block the whip, and his arm suddenly felt hot.

In a blink of an eye, the two men had exchanged more than ten moves.

The faint smile on Xiao Shanhe's face disappeared at some point.

This physical quality has indeed not only broken the second limit, but also not slightly exceeded...

But it is at least the third limit level.

Did this guy really only break through the second limit?
Moreover, Ji Jingqiu had been using the basic fighting skills of the Divine Tiger Technique from beginning to end, so naturally he could only use the same fighting skills.

After all, he is a few years older than Ji Jingqiu, and even if his physical fitness is limited to the same level as Ji Jingqiu, he has absolute advantages in vision, combat experience, etc., and he cannot tie his hands in this regard.

If I need to use high-level combat skills to defeat Ji Jingqiu, doesn't that mean I am not as good as him at the same stage?
Now that Ji Jingqiu's physical fitness exceeds the normal second limit, it is actually more fair.

Xiao Shanhe began to take it seriously.

Zhuang Fusheng, who was standing aside, happily instructed Ji Jingqiu on how to break Xiao Shanhe's moves and counter them.

As the battle continues.

Xiao Shanhe's expression gradually became serious, and he felt more and more exhausted.

Master Zhuang’s advice was nothing. It was not difficult to crack the basic fighting skills. Ji Jingqiu just suffered from a lack of vision.

But his ability to learn and apply knowledge surprised me a little.

Moreover, Ji Jingqiu's mastery of the Divine Tiger Technique and basic fighting techniques seemed like he had been immersed in this field for many years and did not look like a beginner at all.

Has he really not been practicing martial arts for more than two months?

Excluding the time for nourishing Qi, opening meridians, opening the Heavenly Gate, and breaking the two limits...

How much time does he have left to master basic fighting skills to such an extent?
Xiao Shanhe finally realized it.

The young man in front of him was a martial arts genius who was at least on the same starting line as him in the realm of talent.

This made him really excited and eager to fight.

His emotions were quickly conveyed to Ji Jingqiu through his fists and feet.

Speaking with fists is the best way for martial artists to communicate.

Ji Jingqiu also felt that this fight was extremely enjoyable.

The Brother Xiao in front of him was inferior to himself in strength and speed, but his fighting power was still better than his.

This is the gap between martial arts and vision, like looking down from a high vantage point. Every time they fight, Ji Jingqiu always feels surprised. It turns out that fighting skills can be reversed and countered in this way!

This was an experience he had never had with his senior brother, and it greatly broadened his horizons.

In comparison, the eldest brother is more mechanical, while Xiao Shanhe is more flexible and able to adapt to changing circumstances.

Gradually, Ji Jingqiu's mind seemed to enter a strange state. Nothing around him could disturb him, and the only opponent left in his eyes was Xiao Shanhe.

After fighting for hundreds of times, Zhuang Fusheng called a halt and said:

"Let's stop here today. If you keep fighting, this bluestone slab will be crushed by you..."

The two of them then slowly separated.

Xiao Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief. If the fight continued, he would have trouble maintaining a balance, let alone gaining the upper hand.

The vision and experience that he was proud of in basic fighting skills would soon be overtaken by Ji Jingqiu.

The latter was like a sponge, rapidly absorbing his martial arts experience and was about to reach the same level as him in basic fighting techniques.

By that time, coupled with Ji Jingqiu's already superior physique, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Xiao Shanhe sighed secretly, hoping that this boy was not his opponent.

Otherwise, given his talent, coupled with his close relationship with the Zhuangshi, it's not a question of whether he can win or not, but he might not even have a chance to compete...

He clasped his fists and said seriously: "Junior brother's talent is not inferior to mine. I look forward to seeing news about him in the central area in the future!"

Ji Jingqiu also returned the greeting and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao, for your guidance!"

"Okay, the two little guys haven't even started martial arts yet, but they've learned a lot of red tape." Zhuang Fusheng pouted and said, "Jingqiu, what's your limit-breaking method?"

After hearing this, Ji Jingqiu said, "I use the method of accumulating strength to break through the barriers, and I am learning the [Eternal Sword]."

Hearing this, Xiao Shanhe couldn't help but say, "Junior brother, you actually learned the Eternal Sword? This is the most advanced and difficult method among the methods of gathering strength to break through barriers."

However, Xiao Shanhe soon felt relieved.

After all, he is a genius with the same level of talent as himself, so learning the Eternal Sword is nothing.

Zhuang Fusheng glanced at Ji Wumian and asked, "Jingqiu, who picked this for you?"

"It's Master Yang, my teacher at the martial arts school." Ji Jingqiu said seriously when mentioning Master Yang, "I received a lot of care from Master Yang. Master Yang took good care of me."

Zhuang Fusheng nodded and said, "It seems that you have met a good martial arts teacher. Remember, be more respectful to those who are capable and willing to teach you."

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

"It just so happens that Grandpa Zhuang has a unique fighting skill that is very compatible with the [Eternal Sword]. I'll send it to your terminal later, and remember to delete it after reading it."

I didn’t expect that this visit to the empty-nest elderly would bring me some extra benefits.

This feeling made Ji Jingqiu feel as if he had returned to his previous life, when he would occasionally return to his grandparents' house and would always receive ten or twenty yuan in pocket money.

He happily accepted it, thinking it was a return gift for the egg cake.

……

……

on the way home.

Browsing the combat skills sent by Grandpa Zhuang on the terminal, Ji Jingqiu found that even with the blessing of wisdom light, he did not understand it at all, and could not help asking:
"The small ones live in seclusion in the wild, the great ones live in seclusion in the city. Could Grandpa Zhuang be a martial arts master who lives in seclusion in the city?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I didn't understand this fighting skill at all."

Listening to Ji Jingqiu's logically rigorous statement, which roughly meant "I didn't understand it the first time I read it, so it must be some extraordinary inheritance", Ji Wumian couldn't help but wonder who did this child inherit his self-confidence from?
It can only be myself.

"Jingqiu." Ji Wumian suddenly called.

"Ok?"

"... After some time, we will have a good chat. I have something to explain to you."

"Can't you say it now?"

"No, I need to calm down a bit." Ji Wumian said seriously.

Ji Jingqiu looked suspiciously at his grandfather, with whom he had lived day and night for more than ten years, and became more and more certain that the old man was hiding a secret from him.

The so-called being together day and night means that you can only see each other in the morning and evening, and not in between.

"But I can give you some life experience first."

Ji Wumian stroked his beard and said,
"For example, when you travel the Federation in the future, you must be kind to others and hold back when fighting, so as not to kill someone with one punch and create a mortal enemy."

"You need to make friends widely. As a martial arts genius with a promising future, many people will want to make friends with you. You must not be arrogant because of your talent.

Of course, there is no need to compromise yourself in order to make friends.

A man can lose everything except brotherhood and humanity! "

……

Yan Lu walked quickly through an alley, and suddenly his eyes focused and he saw the young man recommended to him by Zhang Chongba.

In the twilight, an old man and a child, just like a grandparent and grandchild, were returning home together. Such a harmonious scene made her feel sentimental and miss her family.

With his mind in a tizzy, Yan Lu passed by the grandfather and grandson, and could still hear the old man educating the young man.

"…Retain some strength, so as not to kill someone with one punch…"

This unique style of education made Yan Lu laugh.

Just as he was walking on the road, Yan Lu suddenly stopped and noticed something strange.

The moment she brushed past him, she seemed to sense a mysterious aura from the young man.

Only warriors who have opened the Gate of Heaven and Man can possess this kind of aura.

But she clearly remembered that the last time she saw him, this young man had not yet completed the opening of his meridians. How long has it been since then, and he has already broken the limit?
She looked back in the direction they came from, wanting to confirm again, but found that the grandparents and grandchildren had turned a corner and disappeared from her sight.

After a slight hesitation, she stopped worrying about it.

She has more important things to do now.

The reason why she came to this planet was not only because of Zhang Zhongba's invitation, but also because of a secret.

The proud star of martial arts who escaped a hundred years ago is hiding on this planet!

She would try to find him among millions of people, and then tell him—

Some people keep spreading false information in order to find out his whereabouts!

Don't go! Don't be fooled! Don't act on impulse!
Those people are just trying to lure him out by any means! If you go there, you will die!
Wait another five years, just wait another five years, and everything will turn around!!
