Martial God Development Plan

Ding Ding Ding!

In an instant, Xiu Yiyin attacked with a sword, stabbing and slashing with the long sword in his hand, and occasionally using the advantage of the weapon to chop like a knife or an axe. However, Gu Zhibai was not an easy opponent either. She attacked left and right, and the folding fan in her hand seemed to have eyes, blocking Xiu Yiyin's attacks one after another. The sound of metal clashing was endless, which made people dizzy.

"So fast!"

Gu Qu beside Ji Zhao exclaimed, but at this moment, Ji Zhao had no time to ask about the Miro religion. The fight between the two people in the ring became increasingly intense. There was no collision of martial arts, only extremely fast close combat and some not-so-strong internal energy. It was not that the internal energy of these two people was not good, but that such intense close combat could not produce much internal energy. You must know that even with the explosive power of the Star Dou Internal Energy, it would not be able to use much internal energy after being approached by Ji Zhao, not to mention that the explosive power of these two people's skills was not as good as the Star Dou Internal Energy.

Gu Zhibai had a smile on her face at first, but as time went by, the smile on her face began to feel a little strained, and her expression became more serious... This was inevitable. Xiu Yiyin was definitely one of the best young talents in the Central Plains martial arts world. Even if Gu Zhibai was a successor secretly trained by some sect, at best she was just as good as him. There was no way she could win easily.

In this extremely intense short fight, more and more wounds appeared on the bodies of both men, which was a proof that both sides were evenly matched. Generally speaking, short fights were difficult to last long, and even if both sides were really equally strong, the outcome could be decided by a carelessness or even a half-beat delay.

An inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. Short means no tolerance for error. This is why warriors hate short fights and even short weapons. It is equivalent to a world-class moba event, and the final is actually a bo1. Even if the opponent speedruns in fifteen minutes, the loser will not admit defeat.

The shadows of long swords and fans intertwined, and the small wounds on the two men's bodies continued to increase, and their faces became ugly - no matter what had brought them to the ring before, they were now really angry.

A middle-aged man stood at the side of the ring with a frown on his face. The Yishan Sect would certainly not let the Sword Master, who had not yet fully grown up, wander around alone. This man was like a protector, and now he was hesitating whether to call off this battle that might cause Xiu Yiyin to be seriously injured.

It is common for a sword master to lose a battle. This is the only way to hone his bloody fighting physique. However, Xiu Yiyin is arrogant and definitely doesn't think he will lose, not to mention that the opponent is both the same age and a woman. If he calls for a stop now, it may be detrimental to his practice...

But if you don't stop, this sword will be merciless.

While the middle-aged man was hesitating, Ji Zhao, who had been watching intently for a long time, saw the panels of the two people at the same time.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. Once he looked at it, even his expression changed!

(Hatred, Anger, and Despair)

Comprehensive assessment: B-

After seeing the face plates of these two people, even Ji Zhao's expression could not help but change slightly.

A first-rate expert like Liu Wei whose comprehensive assessment reaches B or below, and there are two of them... No, that's not the point.

The key point is the 'blood of Phoenix'.

Having been in this world for so long, how could Ji Zhao not know who Feng Ji is? Feng Ji is the deity of belief of the Ning people, and the royal family of Ning is named Feng Ji!

(Note 1)

The characteristics of Feng Ji's blood... Is this person from Liang Ning on the stage? !

Ji Zhao frowned, but he couldn't confirm the identities of the two people for a while. It was also possible that the blood of Feng Ji was just a special talent setting in the game. It was a bit arbitrary to conclude that the two people were Ning people based on this alone... Besides, even if Ji Zhao knew, he couldn't do anything. He was a nobody. Even if he said that the two people opposite were Ning people, who would care about him?

However, the fact that one is real and the other is fake is really worrying...

Ji Zhao was thinking about this, but he lowered his voice and asked Fu Caige, "Miss Fu, the surname Xiu is really rare. I wonder which great hero in the Central Plains martial arts world is the parent of Xiu Jianshou?"

Fu Caige retracted his gaze from the arena and said, "Xiu Jianshou was an abandoned baby, raised by an elder of the Yishan Sect."

【“…That is to say, it is possible that it was Ningren.”】

After hearing this, Ji Zhao became more alert, but it was not directed at Xiu Yiyin.

He grew up in modern times and didn't really take this matter seriously. Even if Xiu Yiyin was really a Ning person, he was raised by the Yan people and was actually considered a Yan person. Even if he was discovered in the future, that would be a matter for the future. But it was different with Gu Zhibai. This person might really be a Ning person spy!

With this thought in mind, Ji Zhao hurriedly asked, "I think this ancient female knight is really powerful. I wonder what kind of sect the Mi Luo Sect is that can teach such a disciple. Can Senior Sister Fu help me solve this problem?"

He was treating his senior sister as Doraemon. Fu Caige glanced at him and frowned for the first time on his expressionless face.

"I don't know much about the Milo sect, but I heard it's a very mysterious small sect in the west."

[“Maybe it’s really a vest…”]

After hearing this, Ji Zhao became more convinced of his guess.

[“Then why did she come?”]

A Ning Ren with such outstanding strength and talent went deep into the heart of Yan State and came to Wuling City at the foot of Luohe Pavilion. She must have great ambitions. For this, she even did not hesitate to confront Xiu Yiyin, the sword master of Yishan. Doesn't she know that this may very likely lead to her exposure?

The reason why she did this...

[“Either it is Xiu Yiyin himself, or... it is Qingshan that remains unchanged!”]

Ji Zhao made a judgment almost instantly. That’s right, only these two things were worth making this person take such a risk!

This Gu Zhibai may have known Xiu Yiyin's true identity from somewhere, or she may have learned that the real Qingshan Bugei was here, so she came here to wait for an opportunity to plan something————She couldn't be so idle that she had to come here to fight Xiu Yiyin, right? !

[“If she came for Xiu Yiyin, I can’t do anything, but if she came for Qingshan Bugei…”]

Ji Zhao narrowed his eyes. Qingshanbusugai is more than just a powerful weapon. As the weapon of Wu'an Duke Weihuo, although its overall status is not as high as the imperial seal, its impact on the morale of the army is probably almost the same. It is the spiritual symbol of Wu'an Duke guarding the border and driving out foreign races. If such a weapon falls into the hands of Ning Ren, the morale of the entire front battlefield will plummet or even collapse!

This is by no means an exaggeration. Modern people may think that it is just a weapon, and if it is gone, it is gone. There are still thirty-five other weapons. But for the ancients, this weapon symbolizes too much, almost becoming a spiritual totem.

[“We can’t let her succeed…”]

It is not true to say that Ji Zhao suddenly became a Yan person in spirit. It is just that in such a world view, if he wants to find the mirror, he must rely on the power of the broad masses of the people. To do this, he must obtain power to command others. However, as a Yan person, it is impossible for him to obtain real power from the Ning people. Therefore, protecting Yan from being conquered by the Ning people is also an important side quest for him.

Although he didn't know what Gu Zhibai was planning, Ji Zhao hoped that she would fail. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.

In terms of physical strength and internal energy in full state, Xiu Yiyin is actually slightly better than Gu Zhibai, which can be seen from the panel attributes, but his previous battle with Ji Bei consumed some of his physical strength and internal energy. His appearance during the battle was also seen by Gu Zhibai, and his moves were analyzed a little. In addition, because the opponent was a woman, he underestimated her at the beginning, and then he failed to defeat her after his strong attack, and he became a little upset because of the cheers from the audience on the sidelines... The weight of these chips is nothing, but at this moment, they are enough to determine the tilt of the balance of victory.

Zheng!

Another fierce sound of metal clashing was heard, and Gu Zhibai suddenly opened the blood-stained white jade fan. His deft hands stretched forward, breaking open the scabbard that Xiu Yiyin was using for defense, and stopped directly in front of his throat.

The man exhaled a breath of foul air, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a clear voice: "The victory is decided... You lose."

PS Note 1: All Ning people's names are three-character, including one-character and two-character surnames. The 'two-character' part of the name must be 'something', and Ning people believe that this is their 'root' and they can draw strength from it.

Volume 4: Chapter 22: On Stage

The whole place was silent, because the scene before them was really unbelievable.

The Sword Master of Yishan, the future lord of the Blood Lotus Sword, one of the best young talents in the Chinese martial arts world, actually lost to an unknown and mysterious girl in a place like this... This scene was too fantastical.

"..."

There was dead silence in the arena, and the first person to react was the loser in the ring, Xiu Yiyin. He had an expressionless face and repeated what Gu Zhibai had just said.

"The winner is decided...I lost."

Afterwards, he left the ring without looking back, which put an end to this fight.

This result was beyond many people's expectations. Gu Zhibai was injured a lot, but he seemed quite calm, and even said with a hint of lightness in his tone: "Thank you."

Seeing this man like this, Ji Zhao had a guess in his mind. He thought that the other party must have heard about Qingshan Buggai from somewhere and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of holding the sword to do something like stealing the show!

【“This won’t work…”】

Ji Zhao looked around and found that no one had any intention of challenging Gu Zhibai. Although the disciples of Luohe Pavilion who were still in Wuling City could surely defeat this person easily if they rushed forward, the qualification to hold the sword was only a small honor and there was no need to do so. Gu Zhibai was so powerful that she could even defeat Xiu Yiyin. Why would he have to take advantage of her when she was injured and make enemies with her?

【“.......”】

If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Zhibai will lose the qualification to hold the sword. Ji Zhaoqing knows that this person is most likely a spy of the Ning people, and he must not let her meet Qingshan Bugai. But at this moment, he doesn't know how to start. He thinks over and over again about Qingshan Bugai's status as the spiritual totem of the Yan people. Finally, he gets angry and stands up when Song Fang is about to go on stage to announce the person holding the sword.

"...?"

His sudden standing up really confused his fellow disciples. They didn't even realize at first that Ji Zhao was going to challenge him. It was not until Ji Zhao walked over there that they began to react.

"Wait......?" Ji Bei called out to Ji Zhao, "What are you going to do?"

"Actually..." Ji Zhao turned around, his expression was normal, "I'm a little concerned about that sword, and I was thinking if I had the chance, I could get close to it. I just happened to have this opportunity, so I wanted to give it a try, is that not okay?"

"It's not that I can't..." Ji Bei was speechless for a moment. In fact, Ji Zhao's participation in the competition was not appropriate in terms of his strength and the occasion. Winning would be a bonus, while losing would be embarrassing. However, it was not convenient to say this directly.

[“He can usually figure this out, why did he become so upset when he saw the sword today?”]

Ji Bei frowned, but didn't say much after all. He just added: "Do what you can."

"I know." Ji Zhao responded and jumped onto the stage with all his strength.

Before he went on stage, many people were already paying attention to him. To be frank, it would be a bit ungrateful for a warrior to go on stage under such circumstances. Gu Zhibai raised her eyebrows slightly, but her internal energy was surging continuously, healing the wounds on her body. It was unknown what kind of magical effect her internal energy had, but the healing effect was so strong that in just a few breaths, she healed about 30 to 40 percent of the previous injuries. Of course, it was also because this battle was not a life-and-death battle, and Xiu Yiyin did not kill her. Otherwise, even if Gu Zhibai could have won, she would not be in such a state now.

"This young man picked a good time." Gu Zhibai raised his eyebrows slightly, still smiling, "Seeing that I was injured, you want to pick peaches now, right?"

Ji Zhao looked ashamed, "I am ashamed, the young lady is extremely powerful and I am no match for her. However, Duke Wu'an Wei Huo is a role model for my generation, and holding a sword for him has been my lifelong dream. Now I have no choice but to take advantage of her. I hope the young lady will forgive me...Luohe Pavilion, Ji Zhao."

These words were considered appropriate. Even though Gu Zhibai was angry, he could not say anything. After all, this was the rule. He could only respond, "Milo Cult, Gu Zhibai."

"please."

"please."

Clang...!

But with a sharp sound, Ji Zhao had already taken out the double spears. The blades were flashing with cold light and had terrifyingly sharp barbs, which made people feel that this was a weapon used by evil spirits. Looking through the martial arts novels of ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, which decent protagonist used such a weapon?

"Oh my..." Gu Zhibai smiled and spoke, her voice was clear and pitiful. Many young men on the sidelines knew that she was much stronger than them, but they still wanted to protect her. "This weapon looks really scary. Do you want to kill me?"

Ji Zhao did not respond. The opponent's physical strength, internal energy, and injuries were recovering every second. The gap in strength between him and the opponent was so huge. If he didn't take action now, when would he take action? !

call out!

Ji Zhao had no intention of showing any mercy to the weak woman. His red moon energy burst out in an instant and rushed directly towards Gu Zhibai.

Gu Zhibai's expression changed slightly. Not only her, but many people were shocked. The reason was that the power of the Red Moon's internal energy was too amazing.

When Ji Zhao faced the white-haired man, his explosive power and physical fitness were completely suppressed, and he had not practiced for a long time, so he was completely unable to exert the power of this peerless magic skill. But now he has been practicing for more than two months, taking medicinal baths to cleanse his marrow continuously. In addition, with his level 7 martial arts, the growth rate of his internal energy has actually far surpassed that of a normal warrior. It just seems slow in front of a monster like Gu Qu.

Not only that, the Red Moon's internal energy also possesses a very strong ability to conceal breath. It can be said that even the masters of Luohe Pavilion, not all of them can see Ji Zhao's true cultivation level, not to mention the people in Wuling City at this time. Everyone thinks that Ji Zhao's internal energy is mediocre, but who knew that once he exploded, there would be such a momentum?

Gu Zhibai naturally did not take Ji Zhao seriously, who knew that the opponent would use all his strength right away. Fortunately, she was not a fool like Gu Qu, who was frightened and unable to move when encountering something. Although she was frightened by Ji Zhao, she still reacted incredibly quickly. She flashed backwards and lightly waved her fan. A green stream of light flew out and rushed straight to Ji Zhao's chest at an extremely fast speed.

Ji Zhao's eyes were dim. Gu Zhibai was the strongest and best-condition enemy he had ever faced since he came to this world. Now, the opponent's hasty response to the attack made him feel that the world was so big and there was no escape.

But as a veteran of countless battles who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, how could Ji Zhao be affected by such inexplicable emotions? He slightly misstepped his steps, and the strange body movement that had caused Fu Xieshi so much trouble was revealed again. The green light brushed past his body, but it could not affect his sprinting speed at all.

Volume 4: The Counting of Talents: Chapter 23: The First Defeat

When Gu Qu saw Ji Zhao dodge Gu Zhibai's attack without hesitation in a posture that she could not even imagine, a very strange thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

In fact, she had this idea a long time ago, but was embarrassed to tell others. After all, in the beginning of her martial arts training, she was often scolded for all kinds of weird ideas, so that now many masters sigh when they see her.

Therefore, she also hides this feeling deep in her heart.

That's about Ji Zhao, a very wonderful feeling.

How can I describe it... It seems that all situations in the battle were within his expectations. No matter what situation he encountered, he could immediately make the best choice. He was so strong, simply...

"Like an immortal..."

————Click!

While Gu Qu was thinking, Ji Zhao had already approached with two spears in his hands. The sharp blades scratched the corner of Gu Zhibai's clothes, cutting open the light blue dress. The front part scratched her thigh, leaving a bloody mark.
