Martial God Development Plan

This result was within Ji Zhao's expectations, but the strange thing was that after he was defeated, he felt a strange feeling in his body. Ji Zhao had been in this world for more than a year, and he knew that this was a characteristic triggered by the 'Eternal Burning Champion Soul'.

[“…Does this count as a ‘formal battle’?”]

The one who defeated Ji Zhao was not Yun Xiao himself. Judging from his appearance, this was probably just an image of Yun Xiao that he left on the Heavenly Gate a year or two ago. How could such a defeat engrave him with the mark of a strong enemy? !

Ji Zhao's mood was really delicate. You know, he often fought with his senior brothers and sisters in the pavilion and even lost, but because it was not a "formal battle", he could not be marked as a strong enemy every time, let alone this battle. Not to mention that it was not formal, Ji Zhao was not even fighting like himself...

"What a strange judgment... Is it because the Heavenly Gate is special?"

Ji Zhao shook his head, feeling an irresistible force pulling at his body. He did not resist, allowing the force to pull him out of the Heavenly Gate.

......

Back in the real world, Ji Zhao felt dizzy, but he quickly recovered. Turning his head, he saw Liu Hanying's hand still on the Tianguan Stone. She frowned slightly, and her internal energy was surging, giving off a creepy chill.

[“This internal strength…”]

Ji Zhao moved a little further away to avoid being frostbitten by the internal energy that Liu Hanying accidentally emitted, and then waited quietly aside.

About an incense stick later, the internal energy around Liu Hanying suddenly surged. This surge lasted for nearly half an hour, until Ji Zhao was forced to use his internal energy to resist the cold for a while, and only then did Liu Hanying wake up from the heavenly gate.

"..."

After escaping from the Heavenly Gate, Liu Hanying's expression seemed a little solemn for some reason. Ji Zhao was not very curious, but he knew that Liu Hanying had a good temper and rarely showed such an expression on weekdays. In addition, this matter was related to the Heavenly Gate, so he asked.

"What's wrong, Pavilion Master?"

Volume 4: The 59th Chapter: Mystery

"..."

Perhaps because he came to his senses and realized that there was a disciple beside him, Liu Hanying slightly restrained the expression on his face. He could have just used a few words to fool Ji Zhao at this moment, but if Liu Hanying did so, he would not be Liu Hanying.

"Do you know, Minghui?" Liu Hanying whispered, "There are twelve levels in the Eternal Twelve Heavenly Gates, and originally, the enemies in the eleventh level were divided into four."

The enemies in each level of the Twelve Heavenly Gates of Eternal Ages are not fixed, and the lower the level, the more enemies are available for rotation. In the higher-difficulty levels, the number of enemies becomes fewer and fewer. For example, in the first three levels, there are tens of thousands of warriors available for rotation, and there have been countless candidates in all dynasties, but in the higher levels, there are fewer.

Liu Hanying said: "These four people are Wu'an Duke Wei Huo, Cang Gu Jue Jian Nie Yihen, Wu Emperor Jueming and Phoenix Princess?"

Of these four people, the first three are the top three in the Twenty-Four Heavenly Books, and Feng Ji? Not to mention, she is recognized by the world as the fourth top... With their strength, they are only at the eleventh level? !

"The warriors in the Tianguan illusion are far less powerful than the real warriors. In addition, some drugs can be used to assist the warriors in the illusion to perform at a level far beyond their true strength. Therefore, some warriors have relied on means to force their way through the eleventh level, which was impossible to pass before, and reached the twelfth level." Liu Hanying said, "There are four enemies in the twelfth level, and they are the four people in the eleventh level who have joined forces."

————Yes, group fights are also an important part of RPG games that must be appreciated.

Ji Zhao said: "This... can anyone beat him?"

Liu Hanying shook his head: "Never... Perhaps, one of these four top masters has fought to the end, but we have no way of knowing what the scenery there is. However, the point of what I just said is not here."

Ji Zhao recalled for a moment and said, "Originally?"

"Yes, originally." Liu Hanying said, "The enemies of the Eternal Twelve Heavenly Gates would change. In the beginning, when no one from the Four Supreme Peaks appeared, the strength of the twelfth gate was definitely not as high as it is now. The same was true for the first gate. However, more and more powerful warriors appeared, and the strength of the Heavenly Gate Illusion also increased again and again. Now, the level of the Eternal Twelve Heavenly Gates has changed drastically again. When your master reached the tenth level... Emperor Wu Jueming appeared."

Emperor Wu Jueming, who was supposed to appear at the eleventh level, appeared at the tenth level...so, the original twelfth level probably became the eleventh level.

So the question is...what is in the twelfth level now?

Ji Zhao's brain buzzed as he realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately whispered, "Is this what the Pavilion Master is worried about?"

"I guess so..." Liu Hanying sighed, "Now that the two countries of Ning and Yan are at war, it is hard to tell whether the emergence of such a monster is a good thing or a bad thing."

Yes, in this day and age, such an unprecedented, shocking, and unparalleled monster appeared, it was really...

Ji Zhao couldn't help but look at the Tianguan Stone.

[“Is this part of the ‘plot’?”]

Ji Zhao had no way of knowing the answer.

.......

After the two left Dengshen Mountain, they headed straight for Kaihe Prefecture. Liu Hanying was not in a hurry. Every night when he was free, he would take the time to explain some martial arts theory to Ji Zhao. He was worthy of being a master of the time. His understanding of internal strength and even the human meridians was very deep. With just a few words, he could answer Ji Zhao's doubts of many days.

During the short half month of traveling with Liu Hanying, Ji Zhao's martial arts skills improved even more than the total improvement he made in the three months he stayed in Luohe Pavilion at the beginning of the year. His innate ability also broke through to level 3... Of course, Ji Zhao's high level of comprehension and strong absorption ability are also one of the reasons. If it was Gu Qu here, even if Liu Hanying was a good master who could teach students in accordance with their aptitude, Gu Qu would definitely not be able to improve so much.

By mid-November, Ji Zhao and Liu Hanying finally arrived at Kaihe Prefecture. After a short rest, they went to the Wang family.

By the way, the Yan Dynasty was roughly based on the Song Dynasty. Ji Zhao didn't know what the real Song Dynasty was like, but in the Yan Dynasty, the emperor was buried in July, the princes were buried in May, and great scholars like Wang Li, or local celebrities, prestigious elders, etc., were usually buried in March.

Therefore, Wang Li's coffin is still in the mourning hall of his ancestral home, and it will take some time before he is officially buried. According to the cultural customs of this world, when a celebrity is buried, people will be asked to tell about his achievements and contributions during his lifetime. If one wants to discredit a person and deny his achievements during his lifetime, this is usually the time to do it.

Liu Hanying brought Ji Zhao to visit Wang Li's family... Wang Li lived in poverty. To say that he was penniless was certainly an exaggeration, but it was also true that he had no extra money. There were four people in his family, his wife, a daughter, and a son of a good friend who had tried to assassinate Feng Ji but died in the process. The four of them lived in a dilapidated courtyard, and even the expenses of his funeral were covered by the help of some of his good friends during his lifetime.

Considering this man's strength and status in the world, the fact that he is so poor is truly awe-inspiring.

After paying tribute to Wang Li, Liu Hanying went to comfort Wang Li's wife. The old woman had suffered with her husband for half her life and was a woman of integrity.

An ordinary woman, if her husband died at this age, would probably cry for a while. It is also common for those with poor health to be too sad and die with the husband. However, Wang Lizhi's wife looked calm... No, if you look closely, you will find that she is more numb.

The man held Liu Hanying's hand and spoke in a calm voice, neither fast nor slow, as if he was telling someone about daily life: "Master Liu, please allow me to say a few more words. My late husband was a man who cared about his reputation. In recent days, many people have come to me and asked me to keep the funeral simple and find a time to bury the body. This matter will be considered settled, so as to avoid being found by that group of people and causing trouble. I said that my late husband was a man who cared about his reputation."

The old woman paused slightly as she spoke, then emphasized her tone and squeezed out a few words almost word by word from her throat.

"He... is a man who wants to save face!"

"Madam Wang." Liu Hanying responded in a low voice, "I know what you mean."

"...... Pavilion Master Liu has come here for justice, and I may have said too much." Wang said, "My humble home is simple, and I have children at home, so it is inconvenient to entertain guests. I hope Pavilion Master Liu will forgive me."

Liu Hanying nodded gently: "If Madam Wang has any inconvenience, you can come to see me. I will stay at the Yiju Inn next door these days."

Wang nodded slightly, and Liu Hanying did not insist any further. She turned around and led Ji Zhao away from the Wang family.

Volume 4: The Sixtieth Chapter: Director Jin

Arriving at the inn, Ji Zhao and Liu Hanying put their luggage away. On the way, Liu Hanying asked casually, "The master is going to punish some people next... Minghui, do you want to go with the master, or stay in the inn to practice?"

If enemies come, we will stop them; if water comes, we will block it with earth... That was a relatively passive situation. Liu Hanying knew some warriors who had old grudges against Wang Li. Regardless of whether they would come to make trouble that day, it would be right to give them a warning now. As for the reason, it was not necessary. This was the privilege of the Lord of Luohe Pavilion.

After Ji Zhao was ganked by two gangs of psychopaths in Wuling City, he hated being alone. He immediately said decisively, "I'll follow you, Pavilion Master."

"Okay." Liu Hanying nodded slightly, called the waiter and ordered some food. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them went out.

Liu Hanying's first stop was Wu'an Hall in the west of the city - yes, it was another martial arts hall that was trying to scam Wei Huo. This was the norm. Unless the master was truly a world-famous martial artist, there was no better name for a martial arts hall than this one. In this age of inconvenient information flow, ordinary people believed this.

On the way, Liu Hanying briefly explained to Ji Zhao the conflict between Wu'an Hall and Wang Li.

It is said that the owner of the Wu'an Hall is named Jin Xing. He is very good at the Monkey-Snake Combination Fight and has made quite a name for himself. People in the martial arts world call him the Strange-armed Ape. He used to be a guest elder of the Jianglong Gang, but a few years ago, he was expelled from the Jianglong Gang because of his work style... This is relatively rare. One must know that the Jianglong Gang is a mixed bag with all kinds of people. Therefore, the people above them turn a blind eye to many dirty things. You can imagine how exaggerated it is that someone with such bad work style could be expelled from the Jianglong Gang.

After Jin Xing was removed from the list, his reputation in the underworld was ruined. Even if he wanted to work for someone, no one would be willing to hire him. In addition, there were still people from the Jianglong Gang watching him, so he couldn't just become a bandit or something. He was forced to take the "right path" and choose to open a martial arts school for a living.

With his strength, if he was willing to run this martial arts school well, it would not be bad. However, people who are used to taking shortcuts and walking on small roads are unwilling to move forward slowly. Therefore, this strange-armed ape began to frequently visit the school to challenge it.

It is common in the underworld to challenge someone at their doorstep, but generally speaking, if there is no life-and-death feud between the two parties, the fight will be limited. However, Jin Xing is different. His attacks are ruthless and severe. Anyone who fights with him will either die or be disabled. If someone does not accept his challenge, he will smash the opponent's plaque.

This is undoubtedly an extremely vicious competition, but if we have to say that he has committed any crime, it is not. Reporting to the police will not solve anything. After all, the kicking out of the club only started with the consent of both parties.

Therefore, in just a few months, Jin Xing defeated the competitors of his martial arts school and forced them to close down one after another. He also sent people to publicize his own achievements, boasting that he was the top master in Lizhou, which created a lot of momentum for his Wu'an School.

After Wang Li learned about this, he decided to give Jin Xing a taste of his own medicine. He picked a day to challenge Jin Xing and severely defeated him in front of all the new disciples of Wu'an Hall... This battle almost cut off Jin Xing's financial resources. Many disciples who didn't know much about the martial arts world were deceived into believing that Jin Xing was the top martial artist in Lizhou and came to learn from him. When they saw this, they immediately refunded their tuition fees.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents. The feud between Jin Xing and Wang Li was thus formed, but Jin Xing could not deal with Wang Li at all.

Even though Wang Li was beaten like a dog in the Ningguo Palace, and most of his teammates died before he even saw Feng Ji, he dared to assassinate the world's number one expert! He also really went deep into the heart of Ningguo and rushed into the palace. Even though he wasted a lot of time, he was still not comparable to Jin Xing.

When Wang Li was alive, Jin Xing naturally couldn't do anything to him, and he didn't even dare to do too much evil. But once Wang Li died, it was hard to say.

Ji Zhao asked: "Is this little guy worth a trip for you, Pavilion Master?"

He was really puzzled as to who Liu Hanying was. Not to mention Jin Xing, the abandoned son of Jianglong Gang, even the leader of Jianglong Gang was weaker than Liu Hanying in terms of status in the underworld. This kind of small character could be dealt with easily when the time came. Why bother making a special trip?

Liu Hanying shook her head. "For someone like this who has worked his way up from the bottom, his methods are despicable. When the time comes, he will be so determined that there is nothing he can't do."

"Master, are you afraid that they will become desperate?"

"I guess so...but it's not that I'm afraid."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the Wu'an branch of the Jinxing. Ever since being taught a lesson by Wang Li, the business of the Wu'an branch had plummeted, but Jinxing's skills were not fake, and there were still some people who wanted to learn some powerful skills from him. Therefore, for now, they could make do and get by.

The door of the martial arts gym was unattended and ajar, and some training sounds could be heard from inside.

Liu Hanying walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A voice that sounded somewhat unhappy came from inside, and then a young man in his twenties ran out: "What do you want to do in our martial arts hall..."

When he spoke the second half, his voice unconsciously became weaker, not only because of Liu Hanying's extraordinary appearance, but also because of the clothes Ji Zhao was wearing.

No one in the world recognizes this scarlet divine robe, not even a disciple of a martial arts school would recognize it, but this dress... is sexy.

This kind of clothes, which is different from those worn by NPCs, can be seen as "special fashion" at a glance. It looks like the clothes that some big shots would wear to show their own characteristics after they have achieved success... In any case, wearing such gorgeous clothes, it is obvious that he is not a character to be messed with.

Liu Hanying looked calm and said, "Please go in and inform them that Liu Hanying from Luohe Pavilion is here to visit."

"Liu...Liu Hanying?!"

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. When this name was spoken, the young man was almost frightened. Who is Liu Hanying? He is a legendary figure in the martial arts world. In the past few years, there have been countless rumors about him. For example, a year ago, it was said that Liu Hanying broke into the Black Cavalry camp alone and defeated Tang Cheng in one encounter, greatly defeating the Black Cavalry bandits...

"I...I'll report it right away!"

The young man was obviously so panicked that he even forgot to confirm Liu Hanying's identity - of course, it is also possible that he did not dare to.

Not long after, Jin Xing walked out in a hurry. This man was called the Weird-Armed Ape, and the nickname was indeed correct. Judging from his appearance, he was thin, with extremely long arms that almost reached over his knees when hanging naturally. His legs were also extremely short for some reason, and when he walked, his arms swung with him, making him really look like a monkey.

Volume 4: The Sixty-First Chapter of Bloody Battle

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. With the arrival of the world-famous Luohe Pavilion Master Liu Hanying, no matter how many thoughts Jin Xing has in his mind, he can only choose to face it with a smile.

The man took two or three steps forward and said humbly, "It turns out that it is Pavilion Master Liu who has come to visit. It really brings honor to my humble Wu'an Pavilion... Who is this?"

Liu Hanying said: "This is a disciple of our pavilion, named Ji Zhao and Ji Minghui."

Jin Xing smiled and said, "So you are the top disciples of Luohe Pavilion... Come on, come on, please come in."

As the saying goes, you should never hit a smiling person. Seeing Jin Xing's attitude, Liu Hanying couldn't confront him directly in front of so many disciples, so she followed him to the main hall.

Jin Xing called his disciples to serve tea. Liu Hanying was not afraid of poisoning, so he took a sip and said, "Director Jin, I have something to discuss with you."

Jin Xing had been in the martial arts world for decades, and he understood what was said as soon as he heard it. He waved his hand to dismiss his attendants, and only Ji Liujin and the other two were left in the room.

Liu Hanying spoke calmly, "I heard that Director Jin and Old Scholar Wang have an old grudge."

"Hehe..." Jin Xing smiled awkwardly. He was a smart man. He could handle the situation calmly, but it was meaningless to pretend to be strong. It would be better to show some embarrassment. "I'm sorry to make you laugh. These are all old stories. I don't care anymore."

"It's great that Director Jin thinks this way." Liu Hanying said, "As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest. No matter what old grudges Director Jin and Old Scholar Wang had, now that Old Scholar Wang has passed away, let's put these old scores behind us... In a few days, it will be the day for Old Scholar Wang to be buried. I hope that Director Jin can prepare a small gift to comfort Old Scholar Wang's wife so that the two families can make peace. What do you think, Director Jin?"

Jin Xing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, to be honest with you, Pavilion Master Liu, I am actually planning to do just that."

"Hehe..." Liu Hanying smiled, but did not expose this obvious lie. Instead, she said, "I heard that Director Jin usually does not follow the rules, which makes his fellow martial artists and neighbors miserable."

Hearing this, Jin Xing's expression changed slightly, and he almost blurted out "Who is the shameless person talking nonsense in front of Pavilion Master Liu?", but when the words reached his throat, he suddenly came to his senses. There is no such thing as "Liu heard", it is simply "Liu thinks"!

Thinking of this, Jin Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Master Liu, when I was young, I was brave and aggressive, and I did commit many mistakes. But in recent years, I have grown older and have lost interest in anything. But my friends in the martial arts world always think that I am still the same Jin as before, which is why I caused such trouble and made Master Liu laugh at me. I hope Master Liu can see through this matter."

Liu Hanying said, "I see... So, Director Jin has changed his ways?"

"Yes!"

"What if Liu leaves and then hears something bad about Director Jin?"

"If Pavilion Master Liu finds out that it is true, I will bring my head to you!"

"good."

Liu Hanying nodded slightly, took another sip of the tea in her hand, and said, "Master Jin has a heavy workload, Minghui, we won't bother you anymore, let's go."

Ji Zhao responded, and the two were about to leave. However, Jin Xing looked a little strange for some reason, and tried to stop him, "Master Liu...are you leaving now?"

What he said was really weird. To Jin Xing, Liu Hanying was now a nearly despairing existence. Now that Liu Hanying was leaving, he should be happy. Why would he say such things?

Liu Hanying turned her head slightly: "Director Jin, do you have anything else to say?"

Jin Xing looked a little strange, and said, "Master Liu... are you here just for the funeral of old hero Wang?"

Liu Hanying narrowed her eyes and said, "Director Jin, why don't you make your words clearer? Otherwise, why am I here?"

Jin Xing hurriedly said, "Let Pavilion Master Liu know. Recently, there have been rumors in the martial arts world that the old hero Wang obtained the legendary Blood Battle Scripture, and then because he practiced this skill blindly, his blood and qi flowed backwards, and he lost his life..."

Bloody Battle...

Hearing the name, Ji Zhao's expression moved slightly. At the beginning of this year, he was troubled by the money needed to improve his bones, so he looked around for exercises that did not require high bones. The Blood Battle Sutra was one of them. This was a miraculous skill created by a general named Zhang De of the Yan Dynasty. This general had experienced several battles in his life and had honed an amazing bloody battle physique, but his bones were mediocre, so no matter what exercises he practiced, it was always as slow as a snail. Moreover, his physique was particularly special. It was not simply bad like Ji Zhao's. Even using medicinal baths to improve it was more difficult than ordinary people.

Therefore, this great general with extraordinary comprehension and long experience in the battlefield pondered hard behind closed doors, and finally created a martial art called the Blood Battle Sutra. This martial art did not require a high level of physique, and the speed of practice was determined by the practitioner's blood battle physique. As a result, Zhang De's internal strength improved by leaps and bounds.

It can be said that this is a martial art that suits Ji Zhao very well. Therefore, Ji Zhao paid special attention to it and also paid attention to the general's later situation. Because this man took sides on the ownership of the throne, his property was confiscated and the Bloody Battle Sutra disappeared.

————In addition, for some reason, after Zhang De practiced the Blood Battle Sutra, he rarely fought with others.
