Martial God Development Plan

Gu Zhibai's expression remained unchanged, and she used her backhand to hit the double spears with the fan. She was exerting force temporarily, and the fan was far inferior to the double spears in terms of force. However, the difference in physical fitness between the two was really not a little bit, and the fan was not an ordinary object. This hit made Ji Zhao's palm numb. If he had not held it firmly with both hands, his weapon would have been knocked out of his hand!

At this time, Gu Zhibai actually had time to create distance. From a purely God's perspective, she could win by creating distance. After all, her internal energy's long-range attack capability was totally incomparable to the internal energy of the stars, which would dissipate as soon as it left the body. With her cultivation level, if she created a little distance, even if Ji Zhao had great skills, he would be overwhelmed and eventually defeated. However, Ji Zhao's initial outburst really scared her, and made her lose her judgment on the amount of Ji Zhao's internal energy. Coupled with the desire to win in her heart, she finally did not retreat, but instead started to fight Ji Zhao in close combat.

This...is really not the right choice.

Compared to Liu Wei at the time, Gu Zhibai's condition was much better, but Ji Zhao was not the weak-willed guy who collapsed on the ground after running a few steps that night. His "software" configuration was too good to begin with. After eating meat and taking a bath these days, he slightly improved his hardware, and his comprehensive evaluation soared to C-3. This was without considering the "public characteristics with trigger conditions". If those were added...

Ding ding ding ding ding ding——————

The sound of metal clashing frantically rang out. The white jade fan and the double spears kept colliding. Judging from the frequency, it was even more exaggerated than the previous battle!

Ji Zhao's movements were naturally not as fast as Xiu Yiyin's, but the key point of double stabs is "double". As a great martial arts master of the time, Ji Zhao has already used this weapon with passion. During the battle, he divided his mind into two parts and used these two weapons. It was as if there were two Ji Zhaos attacking Gu Zhibai. Every time the latter found the slightest opportunity to attack, the double stabs would come straight at him, taking his life and making him miserable.

[“Who is this person?!”]

At this point, Gu Zhibai finally realized that the situation was not good. She thought she was quite good at short-range fighting, but when she met Ji Zhao, she felt that she was suppressed everywhere. She had the advantage in strength and speed, but she just couldn't gain the slightest advantage. This was absolutely wrong.

The frantic beating sounds even attracted Xiu Yiyin's attention. He had already planned to leave the place, but was led back by the sound.

“…Incredible.”

The man watched the battle for a while, then praised in a low voice.

The Yishan Sect elder asked, "Who is the Sword Master talking about?"

Xiu Yiyin glanced at the elder, but snorted: "You ask even though you know the answer... I want to fight him. In the next few days, I will be a guest at Luohe Pavilion."

"good."

Not only these two people, but everyone around the arena was discussing endlessly at this moment.

It was no secret that Ji Zhao was very good at close combat, and almost the entire Luohe Pavilion knew about it, but who could have thought that he could be so exaggerated? !

"So amazing..." Although Ji Bei is Ji Zhao's sister, this is the first time she has seen Ji Zhao exert his full strength in short hitting. She was a little dazed for a moment, "It turns out that he can really go to this extent... He is completely suppressed."

"Humph." Fu Xieshi seemed inexplicably proud for some reason. "Of course, otherwise, I wouldn't want him to teach me."

Fu Caige: “…?”

Even Song Fang had to admit that he had indeed made a mistake before. He sighed and said:

"This short-range fighting skill... if you say he is the reincarnation of Lord Wu An, I'm afraid he is no more than this."

However, Ji Zhao, who was in the game, could not be optimistic, because Gu Zhibai did not reveal any flaws that could decide the outcome of the battle, and if Ji Zhao wanted to win, he could only hope that she would reveal a flaw - because Ji Zhao had already done it perfectly, even if there really was an immortal in the world, with this body, he could not do better than Ji Zhao.

From this point of view, the victory or defeat is actually in the hands of Gu Zhibai, and this man did indeed do well enough. He managed to keep his mind steady in the face of Ji Zhao's unpredictable and dazzling double-thorn skills, without revealing any flaws, and finally relied on his strong attributes to hold on. In this respect alone, he is much stronger than the white-haired man at the beginning.

Ji Zhao silently calculated his physical strength and internal energy consumption. Finally, when his muscles were about to reach a critical value, he realized that the situation was hopeless and immediately stepped back to create some distance.

"That's it... I lose."

Gu Zhibai was caught and attacked fiercely by Ji Zhao, but he was not too panicked. On the contrary, he was silently calculating Ji Zhao's condition. He now estimated that his body could not withstand such high-intensity exercise. He was planning to wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, but he did not expect Ji Zhao to jump back and stop fighting!

What's the difference between this and calling the police after having sex? !

Fortunately, Gu Zhibai was not an ordinary person. He endured it at this moment and just said with a fake smile: "Thank you, Master Ji, you have great kung fu."

Ji Zhao, who lost this crucial battle, was in a bad mood. He bowed and left the stage.

After that, there were no more disturbances. Although Gu Zhibai, who had defeated Xiu Yiyin and Ji Zhao, was in very bad condition, no one would dare to challenge her at this moment. She won the duel and got the opportunity to hold the sword for Duke Wu'an.

Volume 4: Pondering over the Talented People: Chapter 24: There is only one truth!

After Ji Zhao returned to his position, Gu Qu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Hey, Brother Ji, what's so strange about losing to that kind of person? Even the Sword Master of the Yishan Sect lost to you. Be happy."

Ji looked at her.

"...I didn't expect you to be able to see through it. My Qi training skills are really not good enough."

Gu Qu slightly exerted force on Ji Zhao's shoulder, and said with a fake smile: "Brother Ji... I always feel that what you just said is not a good thing."

Ji Zhao said: "Although he is not smart, his feelings are quite accurate."

Gu Qu's eyes widened: "I came here with good intentions to comfort you!"

Ji Zhao sighed: "You are adding fuel to the fire... Gu Qu, in this world, there is no such thing as 'what's strange' about failure. Don't get used to it. A person can fail, but can't get used to failure. People often say that continuous success will make a person lose himself, but they don't know that continuous failure will really destroy a person from the root."

"......" Gu Qu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a few words from his throat, "I know... probably."

Ji Zhao shook his head, but could only watch Song Fang walk onto the stage to announce Gu Zhibai's victory. He thought that Wuling Wu'an should be just like everyone else in the arena, wondering where this freak Gu Zhibai came from and how she could have such strength. However, now was not the time to ask questions. She came here to hold the sword for Lord Wu'an, and he couldn't wait until she won to check her household registration.

Therefore, Song Fang only encouraged Gu Zhibai a few words as an elder, and then asked people to bring the statue of Wu'an Gong. Gu Zhibai simply bandaged it on the way, and the team set off in a mighty manner to parade around Wuling City.

The Qingshanbugai naturally fell into Gu Zhibai's hands. He held the sword in both hands and walked at the front of the parade, in front of the statue of Wu'an Gong.

Ji Zhao and other Luohe warriors naturally followed along the way.

On both sides of the road, many people from Wuling City lined the streets to welcome him. Now that the State of Yan is suffering from foreign invasions, the great achievements of Duke Wu'an Wei Huo in the past seem even more remarkable. All the people in China miss this invincible general of the State of Wei.

Many families put a table in front of their house with a lot of food on the door. Those were sacrificial offerings to Wu'an Gong Weihuo. According to his wishes before his death, the offerings would be used to help poor people who could not afford food after the sacrifice.

Along the way, Ji Zhao glanced forward from time to time to make sure that Gu Zhibai had not replaced the weapon. He was actually overthinking it. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if Gu Zhibai had three heads and six arms, it was impossible for her to replace things in front of so many people, unless she had a storage ring from a fantasy novel... But this was reality transformed from a game after all. You must know that Ji Zhao had a 'backpack' setting at the time, so who knows if there really was something like that.

Anyway, Ji Zhao didn't dare to be careless and looked over there from time to time. But this action, in the eyes of others, had a completely different meaning.

Gu Qu walked up to Nan Xue, his expression serious as if he was talking about something that concerned the survival of the world: "Brother Nan, have you found out?"

Nan Xue was startled: "Found...what?"

"Idiot!" Ji Tan suddenly interrupted the conversation. Her expression was as serious as Gu Qu's, which made Nan Xue alert, wondering if it was the people from the Star Dou Cult who came again?

"Look at that woman!" Ji Tan said sharply, "He has been looking at that woman!"

"That's right!" Gu Qu's voice was filled with the excitement of having found a soulmate. "He's been watching! Look! He turned his head again! He's staring at me!"

Nan Xue became even more alert after hearing this.

[“Brother Ji wouldn’t stare at someone for no reason. He must have his reasons for doing things... Could this person be Ning Ren’s spy?”]

Ji Tan naturally didn't know what Nan Xue was thinking. He sighed and said, "That's really too much. Staring at others like that... It's really unpleasant. Am I worse looking than her? No, I'm obviously more beautiful."

As she spoke, she actually became somewhat proud. She passed her right hand behind her ear and proudly lifted her long hair: "It is simply the perfect creation of an immortal. It is so beautiful!"

Nan Xue was stunned: "......Ah?"

"......" Gu Qu was speechless for a while, then he coughed and said, "I think Miss Ji and Senior Sister Fu are both very beautiful, but this Gu Zhibai has something that you two don't have."

Ji Bei also interrupted the conversation with an awkward expression. She must have noticed Ji Zhao's condition: "You mean... force?"

"That's right!" Gu Qu said in a decisive tone, "Think about it, Brother Ji has been practicing hard since he entered Luohe Pavilion, and he has never stopped for a moment. It is conceivable that such a man must also like a woman as strong as himself! Therefore, when Gu Zhibai appeared, Brother Ji was deeply attracted to her, just like when he went on stage before. Don't you think something is wrong, Sister Ji?"

She paused, feeling like a detective in the world, and her tone became more confident: "The Pavilion Master usually praises Brother Ji for knowing when to advance and when to retreat, knowing gains and losses, knowing how to choose and understand the overall situation. How could he suddenly do such a thing as going on stage to challenge an injured woman? Even if he wins, everyone will think it is the credit of the Yishan Sword Master. If he loses, that's even more impossible. Would Brother Ji do such a thing on weekdays?!"

"There is only one truth!" the man shouted in a deep voice, "That is, Brother Ji has taken a fancy to Gu Zhibai!"

"That's right." Ji Tan sighed, "Although it's a little unbelievable and uncomfortable, the facts are right in front of us. We have to admit that my stupid brother fell in love with this girl who came out of nowhere at first sight."

Ji Bei held his forehead with his hand: "I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

"No..." Nan Xue couldn't help but whispered, "Isn't this too arbitrary? Isn't there another reason?"

Gu Qu asked: "For example?"

Nan Xue was speechless for a moment, and Gu Qu was more convinced of his own judgment: "It can't be wrong, you have to believe in my keen grasp of the current situation... Oh, but I really didn't expect that Brother Ji, who looks so serious on weekdays, would be so seduced when he saw the girl. If I'm not mistaken, the reason why he went on stage was to show himself in front of Miss Gu, don't you think, is that right?"

Volume 4: The Man in Black Robe

Ji Zhao naturally didn't know that his reputation was being persecuted. He glanced at Gu Zhibai from time to time, fearing that something might happen. But until the end of the parade, the things he worried about did not happen... However, without even time to catch his breath, Gu Zhibai immediately showed her true colors after the parade. She wanted to make a replica of the sword, claiming that she admired Wei Huo, Duke of Wu'an, and therefore requested to borrow the replica for a few days.

This is really nothing, just a replica. Let alone borrowing it, facing Gu Zhibai, the genius who defeated Xiu Yiyin, what's the problem with just giving it away as a favor? It's nothing more than keeping it for a few days before sending it away and asking the blacksmith to make a replica. There is really not much difference between the two.

Therefore, Song Fang readily agreed to the matter... Afterwards, perhaps in order to establish a good relationship with this young hero, he took the initiative to take Gu Zhibai to the best blacksmith shop in the city.

[“So you’re waiting here…”]

Ji Zhao, for lack of a reason, did not follow immediately because of his fellow disciples nearby. He already understood what was going on in his mind. To be honest, if Gu Zhibai really had no interest in Qingshan Bugai at this point, then he would have been suspicious. But now that the other party has revealed his true colors, he is relieved - this is how it should be!

[“But even if I say that she is a spy from the Ning people and that she came here for Qingshan Bu Gai, no one will believe me. Moreover, with the interrogation capabilities of this era, even if someone believes me, it will be difficult to find out her true identity. In the end, there will be no benefit except exposing myself in vain.”]

Ji Zhao had no regrets about the battle in the ring. Losing was also a kind of gain. For a 'main character' with panel attributes like this, it was definitely a good thing to have the opportunity to leave a mark on the opponent. However, exposing her would not only fail, but also cause trouble. It was really not worth it.

Ji Zhao's mind turned over and over again, and finally, he came up with a wonderful idea.

[“No… In the past few hundred years, no one has discovered that Qingshan Bugai is a fake. How could Gu Zhibai discover it? At most, she only ‘knows’ that Qingshan Bugai is the real thing. In other words, she also has no ability to distinguish the real from the fake.”]

[“If she was planning to steal Qingshan Buge directly, she would definitely be targeted, and at the same time, other people would realize that this replica is not simple. That is definitely not what she wanted to see. Otherwise, with this person’s martial arts, it would not be difficult for him to steal a replica that is usually not guarded by anyone.”]

[“That is to say, she wanted to use the name of making a counterfeit to perform a trick of replacing the prince with a cat, and she didn’t want others to find out that this Qingshanbugai is the real thing.”]

At this point, Ji Zhao's thoughts had become much clearer.

[“In that case, what I should do is very simple…”]

As he thought about this, he subconsciously looked in the direction where Gu Zhibai and Song Fang left, wondering what excuse he could use to break away from the main group and catch up with the two, or simply find a way to lead everyone over.

Due to the rush of time and his thoughts were not here just now, he couldn't think of any good excuse. He immediately thought of an excuse in his head and looked at Ji Bei. But before he could open his mouth, Gu Qu folded his hands on his chest, put on an unfathomable look, and spoke arrogantly.

"Brother Ji, you care about that sword a lot, right?"

Ji Zhao was horrified and cursed himself in his heart. Even someone like Gu Qu could see what he was thinking. Gu Zhibai looked smart and acted as if Gu Qu's brains were all grown in hers. She must have noticed him... Something bad is happening!

With this thought in mind, Ji could not care about anything else: "Yes, I care about that sword very much... Let's talk later, I'm leaving now!"

After saying this, he hurriedly followed.

Gu Qu crossed his arms across his chest, looking completely unfathomable, and even made an unfathomable sound: "Alas... idiot."

Ji Tan's expression was slightly unhappy: "...You are really impatient. Have you forgotten everything you said?"

Ji Bei shook his head: "Let him be."

Among the group of people, only Nan Xue frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"You guys go back to the pavilion first." Ji Bei said, "In his current state, he probably doesn't want us to interrupt him, but I can't just leave him alone. I know where the blacksmith shop they went to is, so I'll just stand by and watch. That's all."

At this time, Ji Bei showed the responsibility that a man of the oldest status should have, and arranged everyone's itinerary in a few words.

Fu Caige nodded and led everyone away. After walking for a while, when they passed a corner of the street, they passed by a man in a black robe and a bamboo hat. The others didn't think anything of it, but Ji Tan shuddered suddenly. An indescribable feeling came over him, as if a cold poisonous snake was crawling past him. Although he was not the prey, the feeling of being on edge still made his scalp tingle.

[“This feeling…?”]

Ji Tan turned around almost subconsciously, and as she turned around, the blood in her body froze, because the man in black robe had turned around at some point and was standing face to face with her.

A voice that sounded familiar yet strange to her rang out.

"Look at the clothes. You must be disciples of Luohe Pavilion... There is a man who claims to be the reincarnation of Lord Wu'an. His name is Ji Zhao. Do you know him?"

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, and a terrifying light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"... Never mind. Waiting for your answers is too slow."

.......

Ji Zhao followed all the way to the blacksmith shop. Gu Zhibai was discussing details with the blacksmith. The two of them gestured at the Qingshanbusgai sword. Song Fang stood aside, and his eyes glanced at Ji Zhao and he nodded at him.

"Brother Ji, why are you here?"

When Song Fang was talking with Ji Bei at the beginning, he didn't care much about Ji Zhao, but now he has changed his appearance and seems much more amiable... However, to say that this person is just acting based on the situation is definitely a bit too much. As the mayor of Wu'an City, he has a lot of affairs to deal with every day. His energy and time cannot be wasted and must be used on valuable people.

Ji Zhao said: "Yes, there are some things."

Before Song Fang could speak, Gu Zhibai had finished talking to the blacksmith. He came over with a smile on his face and said, "Could this matter be related to me?"

Volume 4: The Name of the Deep Soul Chapter 26

Ji Zhao looked at Gu Zhibai: "I guess so."

Gu Zhibai said: "Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean by yes?"

Ji Zhao looked at him dimly and said, "You will understand sooner or later."

Ji Zhao often said this, and he was really a riddle teller. Anyone who heard this would probably not feel good. However, Gu Zhibai was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Has anyone ever told you that you are very nice to talk to?"

Ji Zhao said: "It seems that someone said so...but it's not important."

As he spoke, he looked at the sword that had not changed. It was definitely the real thing.

"Oh..." Gu Zhibai raised her eyebrows and said in a playful tone, "During the parade, I felt someone was looking at me. I wondered who was so tasteful. I didn't expect that they were not looking at me, but at this sword... However, when I thought about this being the sword of Lord Wu'an, I didn't feel so discouraged anymore."

"We have a commission in Luohe Pavilion." Ji Zhao said calmly, "A fellow student who is good at painting has always wanted to paint a picture of Wu'an Gong holding a sword, but she has never seen Qingshan Bugai, and she didn't come here today because of some things, so I was thinking, is there a chance to lend this sword to her so that she can copy it."

"Haha...what a coincidence." Gu Zhibai smiled, "The timing is really perfect, it happens to be right now."

"Yes." Ji Zhao sighed, "It's mainly because my fellow disciple and I are both new disciples. We didn't know that there was a replica of Qingshanbuyi in Wuling City. Otherwise, this matter should have been resolved long ago... Miss Gu, it takes dozens of days or even several months to make a replica of a weapon, but it only takes one day to paint. How about this, you come to our Luohe Pavilion as a guest for a day, and we will treat you well to fulfill my fellow disciple's wish, how about it?"

These words were quite appropriate, and there really weren't many excuses to use for shirking responsibility, but Gu Zhibai showed a bit of surprise: "What are you saying, Young Master Ji? Are you trying to tease me?"

Ji Zhao was slightly startled, but then he heard Song Fang's slightly embarrassed voice: "Master Ji, to forge a weapon, unless it is a heavenly weapon, it only takes a few days at most. If it is a replica, and the quality is not important, then it will be even faster. Why would it take dozens of days or even several months?"
