Chapter 95 Jade Unveiled Seventh Level

"Nobody's after your students!"

Old Zhang was speechless.

"You're not cut out to teach; let Grand Secretary He mentor you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Zhou didn't believe it. Wasn't the teacher just letting him run wild?

Is there any difference?

"You don't understand!"

Old Zhang shook his head, "Your senior brother was taught by him—if all else fails, having your senior brother teach you wouldn't be a bad idea."

Ye Zhou was furious. "So I'm the only one who can't do it?"

"Forget it, this is a matter for your natural school, and I'm too lazy to interfere. But when Ji Ming truly reveals his talent, you should be careful of Zhao You!" Old Zhang didn't want to say any more.

"Zhao You————" Ye Zhou's eyes flickered slightly. He almost forgot that Ji Ming was still closely related to the Qian Tian School. Would Zhao You, the last face of the Qian Tian School, be tempted by Ji Ming?

Previously, he probably didn't care and was powerless to do so, but Ji Ming will inevitably shine sooner or later, and Zhao You, who is determined to revive the Qian Tian School, will find it difficult to resist.

Ji Ming was able to stay in the Moon Well for a whole day, which means he could very likely have broken through two levels like Senior Brother Luo. What incredible talent! Even as a renowned genius teaching assistant, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Of course, that's for later. Let's wait for Ji Ming to come out first!

The bamboo forest returned to silence. The three of them were now in a very good state of mind. No matter how long Ji Ming could stay, he would not break down unless he couldn't resist!

"It's been three days, hasn't it?" Ye Zhou asked, a hint of weariness on his face.

Old Zhang rubbed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and wondered what the hell was going on.

"Could something really have happened?" Old Wang suddenly stood up. Although he knew it was impossible, this was the only reason he could think of.

"Is there any way to see how things go?" Ye Zhou was no longer in a hurry.

"Okay, never mind! Don't pry into my students' privacy!" He then quickly stopped them.

Old Wang paused, but he was really worried. Finally, he thought of a solution and walked to the well. "I'll look for signs of life inside, but I won't see any specific signs."

"Well? You're his teacher, you make the decision!"

Ye Zhou thought for a moment, deciding it was good to reassure her, "Alright, but please be mindful of your actions!"

"Don't worry, do you need to tell me?" Old Wang wasn't angry. He sent a wisp of source energy into the well, made a hand seal, and the moonlight in the well suddenly flattened out, revealing a green light spot that appeared and disappeared inside.

"His life force is stable, and there's a gathering of vital energy, so he's probably cultivating. He's alright!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking, staring at each other and waiting.

They wanted to see what level this little guy was at. Could he have reached the sixth level of the Jade Purity Realm?

That's truly amazing—the Jade Purity Realm is always extremely slow to cultivate, while the Divine Transformation Realm is a bit faster. Breaking through three realms in three days is simply a myth!

Ji Ming was indeed cultivating inside the Moon Well. One of his essence blood bottles was already empty, and his whole body was now transparent. The powerful source energy was flowing through his body again and again, becoming increasingly heavy and clear.

The source power cultivated by the Yin-Yang Meridian Opening Method is a black and white interwoven color, with the characteristics of [Tai Chi], just like the fire spirit I dealt with a long time ago. Therefore, the power of the attack is reduced by 30% when it hits him!

"Buzz!"

The source energy trembled like a thunderous drumbeat. Even without using any martial arts techniques, this source energy alone was terrifying enough. The source energy, refined by the [Flawless Power], was too pure, comparable to the result of ten years of honing skills by some veteran martial artists!

"boom!"

At one moment, Ji Ming suddenly stood up, his breath rising and clearing the void.

He clenched his fist and thought to himself, "That's enough. I've used up all my essence and blood. There's no point in staying any longer."

Thinking this, he walked towards the place where the moonlight energy was weak, the space distorted, and then he disappeared from this world.

Suddenly, the moon well in the bamboo forest began to shake. Upon seeing this, Ye Zhou and the two old men quickly rushed to the edge of the well, their faces showing excitement and anticipation.

at last!

Today is June 14th!

I went in on the night of the 11th and didn't come out until the morning of the 14th. It's really weird!

They were very curious about how much progress had been made, as there had never been such a precedent before!

"Whoosh!"

-

A beam of moonlight shone out, and Ji Ming's figure appeared before the three of them, who all turned their gazes toward him simultaneously.

So bright!

In their eyes, Ji Ming was now a luminous body, his eyes filled with strange black and white colors, and seven towering pillars supported his body as if to support a world.

Damn it!

Jadeite at the seventh level?!

The three of them were speechless at the same time, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

And what exactly did you do inside? This source energy—it's terrifyingly thick and pure.

"cough!"

Ji Ming felt a little uneasy under their gaze, but there was nothing he could do. There were too many powerful figures in Tianyi Star Palace, and such things couldn't be hidden.

"cough!"

Ye Zhou also realized what was happening and quickly glared at the two elders, "This is a secret of our school, you are not allowed to leak it!"

The two elders were too lazy to pay attention; how come they didn't know that the natural school had become so powerful?

"Don't worry, we're just two old men who're about to die. We've long since given up on everything!"

The two elders laughed and said that now they just like to watch plays and relax.

Ye Zhou shut up; he knew the two elders' character.

"We can't just watch for nothing!" Ye Zhou looked at Ji Ming, "Could you two please help cover it up?"

"I'll do it!"

Old Zhang laughed as a ray of spiritual light shone on Ji Ming. He felt nothing, only that he felt as if he were wearing a veil.

"Hehe, as long as you don't make a move, no one will notice, unless a seventh-realm professional forcibly breaks through!"

"Did you hear that? If a seventh-realm professional tries to forcibly examine you, you'd better hold back and wait until your grandmaster returns before killing him!" Ye Zhou said calmly.

"I see!"

Ji Ming nodded obediently. It was better to cover it up. He still had a challenge to fight. What if he scared the person away?

That's brutal!

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, the two elders exchanged a glance. They had already used methods to cover it up, and if he still insisted on looking, he would be being unreasonable. No one was in charge, and they wouldn't really do anything to a seventh-level expert over such a small matter. But since he had someone backing him up, it would be his own fault if he were killed.

Especially He Chuan, he's the kind of person who will argue even if he's wrong. If you give him a reason, he won't stop until he's been thoroughly ripped out.

"Don't worry, there won't be any fools like that!" Old Zhang laughed. How could someone who has cultivated to the seventh realm not understand such a simple principle?

Besides, where would Ji Ming provoke a seventh-realm professional?

"That would be best!" Ye Zhou nodded. He didn't think there were such people; he was just stating his position. The Primordial School wouldn't be that arrogant.

"Walk!"

Ye Zhou grabbed Ji Ming's shoulder and dashed out of the bamboo forest in an instant.

The two elders watched them leave, and then Old Zhang suddenly smiled. "I heard that Ji Ming's betting match opens the day after tomorrow. Do you think we can make some money?"

"Ha ha!"

Old Wang chuckled, "It's only right, it hasn't been in vain that we've kept watch for so long!"

"Hmm, fine, I'll just buy 1000 merit points and make a little less profit!"

"You're ruthless!" Old Zhang shook his head, wondering who had opened the betting pool behind him and was now in deep trouble.

"Have you opened for trading?"

Ji Ming found Xia Qiwen, who shook his head with regret, "I don't do business that I'm not sure about!"

"What are the odds?" he asked again.

Xia Qiwen said in a low voice, "You win: 1:1.5, Yuan Xiao wins: 1:1.3."

"Huh? The odds are so low?" Ji Ming was surprised. Shouldn't everyone bet on Yuan Xiao? Are there really people who think he can win?

"Heh, you underestimate yourself!"

Xia Qiwen chuckled, "If you can successfully unleash the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon Clan, some people think you have a chance of winning, although it's very low, it's still worth the gamble."

After so much time has passed, many insightful people have recognized Ji Ming's methods in the Star Realm Grand Examination; his special identity card is no longer a secret.

Of course, more people bet on Yuan Xiao to win, which can be seen from the odds.

"You trust me that much?" Ji Ming shook his head, somewhat helplessly. He was waiting to be mocked so blatantly so he could retaliate!

Are people this rational nowadays?

With these odds, I can only make a small profit!

"Lend me five hundred merit points, bet on myself to win!" Ji Ming whispered.

How could he not make a profit from such an opportunity? So after parting ways with Ye Zhou, he came straight here without even going home, afraid of missing out.

"You really can win?"

Xia Qiwen looked him over and realized he couldn't see through him at all. Good heavens, who was covering for him?

Are you really trying to scam someone big?

"Damn it, I can press it myself, why should I lend it to you?" he couldn't help but curse.

Ji Ming shook his head. "You call yourself a businessman? Don't you understand risk sharing? Can you completely trust me if I don't place the bet myself?"

Xia Qiwen pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, you're right. I'll go place the bet for you!"

"Remember, don't use my name!" Ji Ming instructed.

"Do you even need to tell me?" Xia Qiwen said helplessly. Do I look like that kind of idiot?

"By the way, is it compliant to openly run a gambling operation like this? Doesn't the academy care?" Ji Ming asked curiously.

"Ahem!" Xia Qiwen lowered his voice, "Of course it's against regulations, but with powerful figures backing them up, the enforcement team can only turn a blind eye."

"Of course, if it gets too big of a fuss, it won't work. At most, we can suppress a few hundred or a thousand merit points. If the pie gets too big, someone will take over." He pointed to the sky, a look of unspoken meaning on his face.

"Hiss!" Ji Ming gasped.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you." Seeing his cryptic expression, Ji Ming didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned to leave.

Xia Qiwen stood there stunned for a long time, his mind racing. He could sense that Ji Ming was more confident than a few days ago. Was he really sure?

Have I not seen him for a few days? Did he go to the Moon Well?

How long have you been here? Have you broken through to the fourth level of the Jade Unrefined Realm?

Hmm, if that's the case, and combined with the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon Clan, the chances of winning are indeed very high!

Xia Qiwen's eyes were full of curiosity, but unfortunately the two old men guarding the strange object wouldn't give either of them any face, so he couldn't get any information out of them.

Old Master Wang shooed him away like a fly, "Get lost, Zhao Mingquan! You're an elder of the Star Palace, don't you know to mind your students' privacy?"

The middle-aged man opposite him looked somewhat bitter. He knew it too, but wasn't there really no other way?

His stupid student rushed forward after being casually told a few words by the Yuanyuan School, without even considering who was behind Ji Ming.

He knew Ye Zhou well; that bastard was definitely going to come looking for trouble. You're having a good time, but I'm going to be in big trouble!

That's precisely why we can't afford to lose, otherwise we'll lose both face and dignity.

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Zhao Mingquan knew he wouldn't get any more information and could only shake his head and leave.

In the core accommodation area, Yuan Xiao watched Zhao Mingquan sighing and feeling extremely frustrated. Damn it, so many people actually thought he might lose!

This was completely different from what he had expected. He wanted to ask, "Are you all blind?"

"Third Uncle!"

Yuan Xiao was very dissatisfied. He and Zhao Mingquan were cousins, which was why he became his disciple. But seeing Zhao Mingquan's cowardly behavior, he regretted it a little.

"Third Uncle, even if he breaks through to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm, so what? The advantage is still mine!"

Zhao Mingquan shook his head. "No! You have to treat him like a fifth-grade jade!"

"How is that possible?"

Yuan Xiao's eyes widened. "Are you out of your mind?"

The last time someone broke through two layers in the Moon Well was the last time. What merit does Ji Ming possess?

"Overestimating your opponent is always a safe bet!" Zhao Mingquan said earnestly, this had always been his life motto.

"Just wait, the showdown is on the 18th, there's still some time. I'll go prepare a trump card for you."

Zhao Mingquan's voice was firm: "This battle!"

"We can't lose!"

Yuan Xiao nodded resentfully. If his father hadn't told him to listen to his third uncle, he would have left long ago.

In his view, this was not caution, but fear, which went against his martial arts principles!

Inside the villa, Yuan Heng's gaze was cold and sinister. "Let them fight! It would be best if those two bastards died together!"

Yuan Xiao is an idiot too. He went to find him and got scolded again, almost exactly the same thing Wu Hui, that bastard, said!

Useless! Idiot!

He's starting to doubt himself now. Is he really that bad?

He's only a sophomore now, and he's a martial artist on the path to godhood. How many people have broken through to the Divine Realm?

It's definitely not my fault!

Yuan Heng's eyes were filled with anger, and he was too lazy to look for anyone else. This year's students were really weird!

They weren't like this before!

Ji Mingli stood in the martial arts training room in the core accommodation area, opened the panel, and revealed a satisfied expression.

Jadeite in its seventh stage!

Ji Ming's emotions surged within his chest, far exceeding his expectations. He had originally thought that the sixth level of Jade Purity was about right, but the efficiency with which the moonlight energy in the Moon Well transformed into the power of nothingness was even faster than he had imagined.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Of course, the True Essence of the Mysterious Moon also played a significant role, but once the life strength reaches level 20, this rare item becomes largely useless, since this life strength is equivalent to the Jade Uncut Perfection in the usual sense.

As for the "Full Moon Mark" obtained after fully refining the True Essence of the Profound Moon after reaching the Divine Realm, he estimated that its ability to help comprehend the Law of the Full Moon was nonsense. How could a second-rate artifact below the ordinary level have such power?

The people of Xuan Yue City are just embellishing their image!

While cultivating in the Moon Well, the higher his realm, the faster his essence and blood power were consumed. After breaking through to the seventh level of Jade Purity, he could only maintain it for a few minutes. Therefore, the cultivation time was much shorter than expected.

However, these are all minor matters. Breaking through to a higher realm is the real goal. At worst, one can simply use the essence blood from the mid-to-late stages of the second tier later.

Before he broke through to the tenth level of Jade Unearth, the essence blood of the Ancient Ruins Beast was useful, but after that, the power of nothingness in shaping the Heavenly Vein could not be used.

"Set health level to 21 and activate combat training mode."

Ji Ming shouted loudly at the fighting puppet not far away.

He has already equipped him with three top-grade sword techniques and three top-grade movement techniques, and their nature is very similar to the martial arts he cultivates. Practicing with him will bring him considerable benefits, far better than figuring it out on his own.

Moreover, this fighting puppet is very intelligent and will constantly point out the shortcomings in his martial arts skills, making it the best teacher.

"Setup complete!"

The fighting puppet's eyes suddenly lit up, and it wielded two swords, its movements as swift as a ghost as it slashed at him.

Ji Ming also got into position, unleashing the Nine Luminaries Profound Power Blade with unrestrained skill. The two sides clashed repeatedly, sparks flying everywhere, but all the fluctuations were blocked by the specially made training room.

He trained all afternoon, and after finishing his general knowledge course on civilizations from all over the world, he came back to train again.

Martial arts training is so tedious and boring; it requires time to improve little by little.

Only perseverance leads to the true way of martial arts!

At night, the fighting puppets stood ramrod straight like teachers, and after analysis, they emitted sounds like bows and halberds.

"The connection between the thirty-sixth and fifty-eighth moves of the sword technique is not perfect. In combat, the fifty-ninth move is not used accurately, and the movement is poor."

Ji Ming listened attentively and tried to make improvements.

[Skill: Nine Luminaries Profound Power Blade Iv.11 (46%)]

[Skill: Nine Luminaries Profound Power Blade Iv.11 (47%)]

Then, he took out the Book of Will from "The Great Void Escape" and immersed himself in experiencing the wonders of this sacred-grade movement technique. This Book of Will was brand new and should be enough to be used dozens of times, so there was no need to be stingy with its use.

Of course, due to his current level of cultivation, he can only see the power aspect of it. He must cultivate the first three characteristics and then fuse them together to truly master this sacred-grade body technique.

There is a huge gap between the Power Grade and the Saint Grade. Generally speaking, those who can master Saint Grade martial arts are already strong in the Nascent Soul Realm.

For example, his teacher Ye Zhou is one of the strongest embryonic breathing realm cultivators in the Power One Star Palace!

Even though Bao didn't use Enlightenment, the effect of the Book of Will was still quite good.

[Skill: Tai Xu Yi Dun Iv.11 (33%)]

Body-refining martial arts techniques are the most difficult to master. He plans to save up his enlightenment time and use it in the Tongli Tower, striving to perfect it as soon as possible.

He had been longing for the Myriad Stars Holy Body for a long time!

Finally, Ji Ming looked at a piece of information.

[Skill: First Rank in Swordplay (2/10000)]

The way of the sword, which many people call "basic swordsmanship", is actually not basic at all.

According to the information provided by Teacher Li Yezhou, this thing can be improved by practicing swordsmanship, but it is too difficult. One must have a very strong understanding of swordsmanship, otherwise it will hinder the cultivation of swordsmanship and martial arts, and even cause one to lose oneself.

Generally speaking, it is best to start comprehending the Dao of the Sword at the fifth level of the Jade Liquid Realm. Strength can also be cultivated at the Fetal Breath Realm, but it is better to start at the Jade Purity Realm.

It seems there isn't such a person.

The Way of the Knife: This is a more terrifying level of openness!

His method is very simple and direct: to enhance the power of all sword techniques and martial arts. It's not clear yet, but once he breaks through to the second stage of swordsmanship, his power-grade martial arts might truly unleash the power of a saint-grade technique!

"Take your time!"

Ji Ming wasn't in a hurry. There must be a reason why Master Luo told him to start cultivating now. Besides, he didn't feel any pressure. Wasn't the Nine Luminaries Profound Force Blade still steadily improving?
