Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 183 Forest
Over the next few days, Ji Fuyou taught Ji Qingqing about matters related to the mist.

At the same time, she was helped to adapt to the surge in power.

Since the white spirit source crystals did not raise Ji Qingqing's spirit to above 12 points, Ji Fuyou used his remaining 15 contribution points to exchange for 5 more, and then for 10 more blue physique source crystals.

After some fiddling around, Ji Qingqing's stats were finally piled up to look somewhat presentable.

Physical fitness 21.2, mental fitness 14.1.

This attribute value is only slightly inferior to Guan Yue's.

Of course, Ji Qingqing is only slightly inferior to Guan Yue in terms of stats. If the two were to actually fight, Ji Qingqing would probably be instantly killed by Guan Yue in a single exchange.

一个体魄7、8点的化劲武者对上15点体魄的白板武者或许有些吃力，但一个体魄22点的丹劲武者对上一个体魄21点的白板武者，优势堪称碾压。

Even if this beginner martial artist's physique increases to 25 or 26 points, the result will not change much.

Of course, with the dual growth in physical and mental strength, coupled with Ji Fuyou's meticulous guidance, Ji Qingqing's understanding of internal energy also progressed by leaps and bounds.

In addition, she already had some basic martial arts skills as a foundation, so it wouldn't take her long to grasp the concepts of Ming Jin and An Jin.

……

Four days later.

With Lu Xingchen driving, Ji Fuyou took Ji Qingqing and headed straight for the entrance to the Misty Forest.

There is more than one entrance to the Misty Forest, but each entrance has been sealed off by the military.

With his hunter's certificate in hand, Ji Fuyou successfully entered the Misty Forest.

Upon entering the Misty Forest, Ji Qingqing immediately checked her phone and other equipment she was carrying.

Mechanical watches and similar items can still function.

Even some simple machines can still operate with difficulty.

However, without exception, all the sophisticated electronic instruments failed.

As they ventured deeper into the fog, even some simple instruments gradually lost their function.

"Although I have seen information about the Mist World more than once, it still seems incredible now."

Ji Qingqing said sincerely.

"The main reason I brought you here to the Mist is to understand its situation."

Ji Fuyou said, "The Misty Forest is quite special among the many Misty Forbidden Lands. The monsters inside range from the orcs with the worst attribute values ​​to the thousand-year-old tree demons that even a master-level team might not be able to defeat. Our current target is..."

He quickly sensed something: "Seventy-nine meters to the left front, a leopard-man."

Ji Qingqing tensed up.

She didn't sense anything unusual.

"Your mental state has reached 14.1 quarters; you should be sensing danger. Carefully follow your senses..."

Ji Fuyou patiently taught him.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingqing quickly calmed down.

"Your mental aptitude is much better than your physical aptitude. Eleven white mental source crystals have boosted your mental power to 12.3, which should be considered top-tier. In terms of academic talent, you'd be the kind of student who could get into dozens of prestigious universities. So, I suggest you explore this area further."

"it is good."

Ji Qingqing focused intently on sensing the changes in the outside world.

"Furthermore, you have already chosen the Sword Intent Cultivation Method. Sword Intent can drive the transformation of spiritual power, making it mist, liquefy, and even crystallize. You can start from this aspect..."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he glanced at her with some curiosity: "You chose the Rising Sun Sword Intent? That surprised me a bit. This sword intent requires making a grand vow and then putting that vow into practice. What is your grand vow?"

"I won't tell you. You'll find out when my sword intent is perfected."

Ji Qingqing glanced at him but did not answer.

Ji Fuyou listened but did not insist.

After walking for a while, Ji Qingqing suddenly said, "I think... I sense something. A kind of inexplicable feeling tells me that there is something over there."

Ji Fuyou sensed that the distance between them had been reduced to only forty meters...

With a mental strength of 14.1, it took 40 meters to sense the location of the leopard man.

What could he say?

"Your physique far surpasses that of the leopard man. Take up your gun and destroy this monster."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Ji Qingqing nodded cautiously.

She was holding Ji Fuyou's Zhenhai Spear.

He was wearing a set of S-class inner armor.

With the defensive capabilities of this inner armor and physical attributes far exceeding those of a leopard-man...

Well, as long as she can protect her vitals, even if she stands still, it would be exhausting for the leopard man to scratch her to death.

Furthermore, her manner of death was not one of being torn apart by the leopard-man; it was most likely that she bled to death.

During this time, whenever she was injured, she would contract her muscles to prevent uncontrollable bleeding, and the leopard man would have to rack his brains to kill her.

Under these circumstances, Ji Fuyou was very confident in Ji Qingqing's performance in her first battle.

……

A few minutes later, the battle ended.

Ji Qingqing walked over with a solemn expression.

Her outer garment was torn in three places, revealing the inner armor underneath.

Thanks to the powerful defense of the S-grade inner armor, the leopard man with a physique of less than 20 points was unable to tear the inner armor at all.

But without this inner armor, those three cuts would have definitely torn Ji Qingqing to shreds.

"It's pretty good that you only got caught once."

Ji Fuyou said sincerely.

These words came from the bottom of my heart.

Although Ji Qingqing had an absolute advantage in physique, weaponry, and armor, the fact that her clothes were only torn was truly remarkable for someone fighting a strange beast for the first time.

Three years of dance training and four years of sword-fighting skills have not been in vain.

However, his praise made Ji Qingqing's expression turn serious.

She glanced at Ji Fuyou: "Back at the foot of Fulong Mountain, what we encountered... was this kind of monster?"

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou nodded slightly.

Ji Qingqing didn't say anything, but stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged him.

This sudden surge of emotion startled Ji Fuyou.

"Did I... almost lose you?"

Ji Qingqing's voice trembled slightly. "It's not that bad."

Ji Fuyou said, "The leopard-man I fought was already injured, and... it didn't have the same physique as this leopard-man."

That leopard-man was a monster of the spiritual realm.

Leader level.

"Ah."

Ji Qingqing released him and looked into his eyes: "From now on, in this misty world, you will no longer be alone. I will assist you."

"Of course, I believe you."

Ji Fuyou smiled.

"I'll find my own next prey."

Ji Qingqing said in a deep voice.

His tone was firm.

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou did not refuse.

The two then continued their exploration...

They wouldn't actually venture deep into the misty forest, but would instead proceed in a specific direction.

This direction...

It was Tang Yue, Tang Rong, and others who had explored and marked the dream location for him first.

In this situation, at the beginning, the monsters encountered were mainly low-level orcs and plant spirits, which Ji Qingqing could easily deal with.

As they ventured deeper, they encountered orc warriors wielding weapons.

Orc warriors are no less powerful than skeletons.

A seasoned, high-level martial artist could naturally fight against her, but Ji Qingqing…

Before these monsters even appeared, Ji Fuyou had already unleashed the Wuji Sword, shooting it through the air and killing it a hundred meters away.

As a result, these monsters never had a chance to get close.

Of course, he would still release some monsters whose strength did not reach the level of orc warriors, so that Ji Qingqing could continue to practice against them.

Occasionally, it also includes some powerful orcs with a physique of 20 or higher.

During this time, despite Ji Fuyou watching over her, Ji Qingqing still couldn't avoid getting hurt.

But Ji Fuyou will not make a move unless it is fatal or serious.

With the white physique source crystal present, even the most severe injuries can be pulled back from the brink of death.

After the battle, Ji Fuyou would also provide guidance.

They even used their divine sense to impart experience to her in a way similar to hypnosis or initiation, which made her progress by leaps and bounds.

Almost every day, Ji Fuyou could sense the changes in Ji Qingqing.

It includes not only martial arts skills and combat experience, but also mindset and cognition.

……

a few days later.

……

"Oh!"

Ji Qingqing's figure suddenly flew backward from the mist. Before she even landed, she did her best to adjust her body and regain her balance at an extremely fast speed, relying on the flexibility she had developed from dancing.

After landing, the momentum continued for four or five meters, stirring up a cloud of dry branches and decaying leaves.

Within the mist, an orc warrior with only one arm roared and charged out.

But Ji Qingqing's eyes remained fixed on the trajectory of the orc warrior's attack, not blinking an eye.

The next moment, the spear thrust forward, accompanied by a crisp sonic boom, piercing through the void and striking the orc warrior's chest precisely.

Even though the immense force of the monster's attack caused her hand holding the gun to bleed, she still refused to let go even a fraction.

The orc warrior's roar gradually weakened.

Fresh blood continued to drip from the wound.

Finally, Ji Qingqing threw the monster aside, sat on the ground, and kept panting.

Not far away, Ji Fuyou silently withdrew the Wuji Sword that had been summoned and was floating in front of him.

Looking at Ji Qingqing, who was in a sorry state and covered in blood, Ji Fuyou finally understood why she had been able to succeed in the multimedia industry.

It's worth noting that Ji Qingqing entered the industry in 2027, by which time the boom period had already passed.

The reason she succeeded was because she had a ruthless streak in her bones.

In order to succeed, she pressured Ji Fuyou, lecturing him every time they met.

But more than anything, she was pushing herself.

Just like her motto that she always refused to admit...

I'd rather be twisted like a maggot than as lowly as dust.

From success in the multimedia industry, to working overtime like crazy after becoming Flash Media, producing short dramas day and night, and now...

After entering the mist, they fought the alien beasts with a spirit of risking everything.

As long as she has this spirit, she will not be defeated.

"Women hold up half the sky... Ji Qingqing is completely different from Yu Xiaoyu, Jiang Xingyu and the like. She has never been a weak woman."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

No wonder he felt a liking for Fang Qiyun when he first saw her.

He felt that she resembled Ji Qingqing.

It's not about appearance, but about the inner core.

Both of them possessed an indomitable spirit and a character that was no less capable than any man.

However, Fang Qiyun came from the Fang family and was a wealthy young lady who lived a life of luxury.

Ji Qingqing...

She comes from an ordinary background and has never had enough opportunities to showcase herself.

Times make heroes.

just now……

She's pregnant.
