Martial God Development Plan

------

At nightfall, Mo Yu returned to his residence. If he was still in Luohe Pavilion, he would have to take a bath at this moment. This is also a major habit of Luohe disciples. If they did not take a bath after practicing on a certain day, the day would not be complete.

Unfortunately, due to the earthquake, many public facilities were destroyed and there was no bathhouse to be found. Mo Yu had no choice but to get some hot water and wipe his body himself.

Also because of the building damage caused by the earthquake, Mo Yu and Fu Caige, who originally had a room each, had to live together. They returned to the room with basins filled with hot water, sat on their beds, took off their stockings and soaked their feet...Speaking of which, Gu Qu had no idea what was wrong with his head. He kept caring about unimportant things. He thought that Mo Yu wore long boots all day and exercised a lot, so if he took off his shoes, it would definitely smell bad.

However, this was not the case. As Ji Zhao said, Mo Yu, like Liu Hanying, practiced the Taiyin Secret Art and had a cold physique. Even after a whole day of exercise, he hardly sweated, let alone any peculiar smell... However, Gu Qu, who was determined to find a flaw in Mo Yu so as to turn things around, would not believe it even if she saw it with her own eyes. As for Ji Zhao's inference, she retorted with "As the saying goes, experiment is the only criterion for testing truth. You haven't smelled it, so how can you be so sure?", leaving Ji Zhao speechless.

"You've worked hard today, Master Mo." Fu Caige said calmly, "I heard that Master Mo and Junior Brother Ji worked very well together and did a lot of work."

"Well... not bad." Without Mozhi by his side, Moyu returned to his usual self and responded indifferently, "Ji Zhao is a man who works hard, unlike those idiots who think they are smart and waste their time."

"Really... Master Mo really likes Junior Brother Ji." Fu Caige said, "I didn't really care about it before, even though everyone said so... This time, I can feel it a little bit."

Mo Yu had heard such words many times before. In the past, her reaction was usually to say coldly, "The fact that you can realize this proves that you are not hopelessly stupid, but the fact that you say it proves that you still don't have a clear understanding of your own stupidity."

"...Maybe a little." However, Mo Yu has lost his former sharpness. "Because he is smart and willing to work hard, he is naturally liked by the masters. Isn't Master Qiu the same?"

"Yes." Fu Caige nodded gently, "However, Junior Brother Ji has just recovered from a serious injury, so he is not suitable for doing too much work... It would be better if Junior Sister Ji could come with us."

"Ji Tan...?" Although Ji Bei's last name was also Ji, she was a senior who had graduated many years ago, so Fu Caige could only be talking about Ji Tan. Mo Yu then asked, "It would be fine if she came along... What do you mean?"

"Junior Sister Ji has learned some massage techniques from Master Qiu." Fu Caige replied, "Every time Junior Brother Ji overdoes his training, Junior Sister Ji will massage him for a while. If Junior Sister Ji is here, Junior Brother Ji will definitely feel better."

Mo Yu was silent for a moment, then replied calmly, "Maybe."

"Not maybe." Fu Caige looked at Mo Yu, "Master Mo was not very skilled when applying medicine to Junior Brother Ji, and a lot of effort was wasted, and the final effect was not very good. Of course, I am not blaming Master Mo, there is nothing I can do about it, after all, Master Mo, you have never applied medicine to others. However, it will be fine if Junior Sister Ji comes. Since Junior Brother Ji came to Luohe Pavilion, Junior Sister Ji has been taking care of his physical conditioning, except for the time when he went out with Master Qiu."

"...But, she is not here." Mo Yu was in a bad mood for some reason, and her voice became cold and stern, "If she is not here when you need her, isn't that the same as not having her?"

In contrast, Fu Caige's voice did not change from beginning to end. She said calmly: "It's just that he is not here temporarily. Moreover, if there is no one like Master Mo, how can Junior Brother Ji understand the goodness of Junior Sister Ji... Of course, Master Mo, don't get me wrong, I mean the technique of applying medicine."

"...So I still have to learn how to give medicine to people."

"There is a sequence in learning, and there is a specialization in skills. Master Mo should concentrate on practicing martial arts, and don't waste your energy on this. You can't beat Junior Sister Ji... Of course, Master Mo, don't get me wrong, I'm referring to the technique of applying medicine."

"The last sentence is redundant. You said it twice. I understand it without you saying it."

"Really? Then I won't say anything." Fu Caige probably felt that she had soaked enough, so she bent down slightly and wiped the water droplets on her slender feet with a towel while saying calmly, "It's just that I hope Master Mo, you really understand."

"Of course I understand." After all, Mo Yu was not a girl as insensitive as Gu Qu. As a warrior, she possessed quite amazing intuition. Moreover, she seldom talked with Fu Caige on weekdays. Now that the other party came to her and said so many words, how could she not realize anything?

————However, Mo Yu did not realize Fu Caige’s true intention, and just fought back according to the angle of the opponent’s attack.

But she said, "After all, Ji Zhao is the son-in-law of the mighty General Hou Lie, and the future husband of Lie Lian. His injuries cannot be taken care of by an amateur like me. If something goes wrong, Lie Yufei will blame us and say that we ruined his good son-in-law. It's really hard to explain. As expected, we have to let Ji Tan come. She is an experienced person and will definitely be able to take good care of Ji Zhao and send him to Lie Mansion to marry Lie Lian in the future. At that time, Lie Lian will definitely thank her second sister for her great contribution at the wedding. What do you think, Fu Caige?"

That’s right, this is Mo Yu’s usual character. When he encounters something unpleasant, he will just complain. That’s why he said that not everyone can get the treatment that Ji Zhao received.

"That kind of thing..." Fu Caige had never experienced Mo Yu's power before. Now that he was attacked, his face changed slightly, as if he heard something terrible, and he made a strange sound, "Gu..."

------

The next day, Ji Zhao ran into an old acquaintance...Han Shou.

This man was wearing a loose Taoist robe, and was working with his fellow disciples to maintain order at the porridge distribution site. His main way of working was to run over and give a Leo kick to anyone who cut in line or caused trouble.

In recent years, Zhenwu Mountain has been prospering day by day, and has the momentum to become the leader of the righteous martial arts world. Now that Taixuan City has suffered such a disaster, it is normal for Zhenwu disciples to come out to help. However, Han Shou's attitude... is really weird.

"Don't your fellow brothers and sisters talk about you?" Since they had met, Ji Zhao took advantage of his free time to chat with Han Shou. "Don't you think you are bringing shame to Zhenwu Mountain?"

"Heh." Han Shou laughed and said to Ji Zhao, "Even if you don't know the way Zhenwu Mountain teaches its disciples, you should have heard about it. My fellow disciples are impeccable in their treatment of others, except that they are a little too polite. Normally, I would be scolded and punished for this, but now, who cares about me?"

As Han Shou spoke, he pointed his mouth towards the refugees... When facing natural disasters and the collapse of order, the dark side of people's hearts will often be infinitely magnified. For example, saintly bitches appear in various novels and are always scolded, but they are scolded the most in doomsday novels. There is no need to explain the reason. The so-called severe punishments in troubled times is just this reason. Han Shou, this unscrupulous guy, is exactly the right person to play the villain at this moment, and he himself enjoys it.

"No... I mean, do you have to kick it?"

Han Shou smiled and said, "I think this is very impressive."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhao felt that everyone except himself in this shabby place of Anchun County was indeed a psychopath. They could even say such words that would get people thrown into a mental hospital in modern times.

"Come to think of it, do you know?" Han Shou said with a casual smile, "A few days ago, a big battle broke out in the Fengyang Street area. It was right after the earthquake. Two people started fighting. Both of them were quite powerful. I heard that they met by chance. One went to rescue someone, but ended up pulling the other out from under the rubble... Haha, saving someone and ending up saving an enemy. There are such unlucky people in the world. When Senior Brother Bai told me about this, I laughed my ass off."

Ji Zhao had a blank expression on his face: "Is this funny?"

Han Shou was stunned: "Isn't it funny?"

Ji Zhao sighed, his tone actually carrying a hint of grief and anguish: "Han Shou, Han Shou, Taixuan City is now in great trouble. As a disciple of Zhenwu, you should have the heart to save the world and the people. No matter what hatred those two have, they are also lives in this world. You——"

"You're not the unlucky guy, are you?" However, Han Shou ruthlessly interrupted Ji Zhao and asked him a soul-searching question in a seemingly casual but actually very confident tone. He undoubtedly did not pay too much attention to that matter and naturally did not know much about it. However, he did not need to understand that matter, understanding Ji Zhao was enough.

"......Ha." However, Ji Zhao chuckled and replied, "That's not hard to guess. Why don't you guess who the person who fought with me is?"

"It must be the Taoist Dong." However, Han Shou still answered this question in an instant, "It can only be him. He has the strength and the reason to do it. Although I don't know why he is against you, if there is one thing, there must be another."

"...I have nothing to say." Ji Zhao sighed, "Yes, I am the unlucky one... No, the Dong Taoist is the unlucky one, because I won."

Won!

A declaration of victory that is more direct and powerful than any words. Being both a winner and a survivor, that is enough.

"He disappeared some time ago, and I thought he was dealt with by the thief saint in your pavilion." Han Shou shrugged, "I didn't expect he was still alive... By the way, has your martial arts improved so fast?"

Ji Zhao said: "It was just luck."

"Haha." Han Shou naturally didn't believe such nonsense, and just said, "Would you like to have some... tea later?"

Perhaps because he felt the covetous eyes of his senior brother, Han Shou rarely changed a word. However, Ji Zhao could figure out what he wanted to say even with his ancient music.

He nodded slightly and smiled, "Okay."

The two men agreed on a time and place, and then went about their respective business. It was not until dusk that they met again in a tavern where they had luckily escaped the disaster.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow Moon: Chapter 9: Alliance Leader Candidates

Except for the most authentic Xuanmen exercises, the rest of the exercises will more or less cause some negative impact on the emotions of the practitioners. And this "most authentic Xuanmen exercise" is actually like a "sphere that cannot be rounder". It can be said that it does not exist at all.

Therefore, even Ji Zhao needed some entertainment occasionally, not to mention Han Shou, who was a heavy drinker. Practicing Xuanmen Zhengzong was a waste of his alcohol tolerance.

The two men were friends at first sight. They didn't actually have much contact with each other, and they didn't have much past to talk about. They didn't exchange letters on a daily basis, but their relationship was very good. Han Shou felt that Ji Zhao was very much to his liking, and Ji Zhao, on his part, believed that a person's reaction before death was the most real, and therefore thought that Han Shou was trustworthy.

The two chatted and drank, talking about all sorts of things...Now that they were in Taixuan City, the martial arts conference would be held soon, so the topic would naturally lead to this.

"Who do you think will become the leader of the martial arts world?" Han Shou was a little tipsy and casually brought up a topic.

For men, this is the stage of entering the empty talk and cricket fighting stage. To be honest, with their current cultivation and knowledge, it is impossible for them to correctly and accurately evaluate the strength of the leaders of the major sects participating in the martial arts conference. However, this is not a big problem. You have to know that in Ji Zhao's world, people who have difficulty catching a chicken are still discussing the single universe and the multiverse every day. This kind of thing is nothing more than fun.

"If we think rationally, it's probably Nie Canghai, the eldest son of the Nie family."

Ji Zhao quickly gave an answer. Although this person was not the strongest, he was considered one of the top masters in China. Most importantly, his reputation and prestige were enough to convince the people. He also had management experience. He was not an empty-headed person after taking office. He also had his own team. It could be said that from various perspectives, he was considered an excellent martial arts leader.

"The martial arts world is a place where people do whatever they want." Han Shou said, "The one who seems to be the most suitable may not actually be the most suitable. Even if he is, he may not necessarily become the one."

"That's right... Well, if we consider the strength of the army, then your Zhenwu Mountain and Shaolin Temple definitely have the greatest hope. However, the real masters and holy monks are old, so I'm afraid they won't come."

Zhenwu Mountain and Shaolin Temple are considered to be the two oldest, longest-standing and most well-known sects in China. Shaolin Temple is a sect from the Guang Dynasty and has a history of nearly a thousand years. Although Zhenwu Mountain is not as good as Shaolin Temple, it also has a history of six or seven hundred years... But to be honest, for the now precarious China, how long their history is is not the point.

The reason why these two sects are mentioned is because of fists. Not to mention the various masters in the sects, just one battle record is enough to establish their status in the Chinese martial arts world. When the Phoenix Feng Ji? came out of seclusion and headed south, sweeping across the country with an invincible force, it was Hua Zhenren from Zhenwu Mountain and Xuanpu Saint Monk from Shaolin Temple who came out of seclusion. The two of them worked together to stop Feng Ji?... Otherwise, with Feng Ji?'s destructive power, I'm afraid the Yan Dynasty would have been finished that year.

However, these two men are old and lack energy. Moreover, because they are the strongest in Shenzhou, they need to concentrate on training to fight against Feng Ji's next attack. It would be foolish to become the leader of the martial arts world for fame and fortune at this time.

"That's right." Han Shou showed an expression of approval. "It's true that the old man didn't come. I also heard from Shaolin Temple that the one who came was Abbot Qing Yu... Should we say they are on par with each other? There should be no hope for either of them."

In small and medium-sized sects, the head is often the strongest one. However, for forces of the size of Shaolin Temple and Zhenwu Mountain, the head is probably only at the level of the top ten in the sect, and his talent is often not particularly outstanding. Only those with truly outstanding talents will not let trivial matters hold back their progress.

"The Yishan Sect's Juechen Sword Jingzhan?" Ji Zhao mentioned another person. This person was the previous generation sword master of the Yishan Sect. He had amazing strength and talent, and was considered the best in the Yishan Sect. He could even be called the best master in Yuzhou. Unfortunately, for some reason, he was unable to bring out the power of the Blood Lotus Sword, and thus failed to become the master of the Blood Lotus Sword.

"Jing Zhan... the fastest sword in the world. It is said that his sword is faster than sound. His strength is definitely impressive." Han Shou broke a piece of Hami melon with his bare hands, made a sword-like shape with his fingers, and scraped all the seeds into the bowl on the side with a loud swish. Not a single one was missed and not a single one fell out.

Han Shou handed the cantaloupe to Ji Zhao and said slowly, "But he has a strong enemy."

Ji Zhao nodded, took the melon and replied, "The technique that Jing Zhan practices is called the Light Chasing Sword Canon. It is fast, but the internal energy is somewhat lacking in power. If it encounters a normal warrior, it will definitely be lethal. Even if it is Feng Ji?, if she doesn't wear the torn Luo Han clothes, her physique may not be that strong. But this time, Shangguan Zhen is definitely going to participate in the martial arts conference."

Shangguan Zhen...the owner of the world's number one martial arts school, Lianxin, which is built in Taixuan City. Shangguan Zhen can also be called the overlord of Taixuan...It is worth mentioning that Shangguan Zhen's daughter is a beauty like Fu Caige and is very famous. However, Shangguan Zhen's deterrent power is much greater than that of the leader of the Golden Sword Sect. In any case, no one dares to propose marriage to his family.

Closer to home.

This person has practiced the legendary Seven Difficulties Sutra, a peerless body-building technique that strengthens the physique immeasurably. It was created by Xin Ku, one of the 24 top martial artists, in the 'Seven Ups'. No one knows what kind of adventure Shangguan Zhen had to obtain this technique and practice it... With this person's strength, reputation, age, and status in the martial arts world, there is no reason for him not to fight for the position of leader of the martial arts world.

"If these two meet, it will be a good show." Han Shou probably wanted to say that this scene will be very entertaining, but this time he didn't use this word.

"Rather, as long as you aspire to be the leader of the martial arts world, you will definitely meet him." Ji Zhao said, "The martial arts conference is not a youth hero conference. There is no fixed competition system."

That’s right, there is no competition system in the martial arts conference. All the participants are well-known figures, so it is impossible to have a knockout or points competition.

"By the way, what does your Pavilion Master mean?" Han Shou asked, "Although he is a little young and lacks experience and reputation, he is definitely strong enough. Moreover, Pavilion Master Luohe inherits the title of Wu'an Duke Wei Huo, so he has a lot of advantages in terms of status. If he is determined to fight for hegemony, I'm afraid the probability of success is really not low."

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Moon and Snow: Chapter 10: Test

From the perspective of the sect, Han Shou's question was actually quite rude and offensive. To put it more seriously, it even involved spying. However, neither Han Shou nor Ji Zhao cared much about it.

Mo Yu once said, "There is nothing in life that cannot be told to others." This sentence was actually copied from Liu Hanying... On the way to Taixuan City, curious baby Gu Qu asked Liu Hanying this question, and the answer he got was...

"decide as things go."

"Depends on the situation?" Han Shou raised his eyebrows slightly, "What situation?"

"If someone can satisfy the Pavilion Master, he will not take action, or will stop at the right time." Ji Zhao took a bite of the cantaloupe, and the juice splashed in his mouth. "But if the Pavilion Master feels that none of them are good enough, then he will become the leader of the martial arts world."

Han Shou grasped the key word: "Become?"

Ji Zhao nodded: "Well, the Pavilion Master didn't say to fight, but to 'become'."

"...Frost and Snow Sword, it sounds like a nickname a second-rate swordsman gave himself." Han Shou sighed softly, "He really should have a more resounding nickname."

Ji Zhao smiled and said, "For example, something like the Taiyin Sword?"

"It sounds more powerful than the Frost and Snow Sword, and it also fits the technique." Han Shou touched his chin, "But, isn't there some ambiguity... How about the Yinshen Sword?"

"How can you use Heavenly Artifact as a nickname? Isn't this putting the priorities in the wrong place?" Ji Zhao denied. "By the way, isn't it better not to add Yin to the title directly? Otherwise, it's too direct and not pretty."

"Indeed." Han Shou suggested, "Speaking of something that makes people feel cold just by mentioning it...why not call it the Nine Nether Sword?"

Ji Zhao squinted his eyes: ".......Do you have any opinion about my Pavilion Master? Listen for yourself, does this sound like a nickname that a decent person should have?"

"This is complementary, complementary." Han Shou laughed, "Just like a person's name and surname can complement each other, your Pavilion Master has a more approachable personality, so the title should be more terrifying, what do you think?"

Ji Zhao also laughed and said, "That makes sense. How about this, you go back and tell Master Hua that your title is too unimpressive, you should be called Zhenwu Emperor... If you do this, I will also advise Pavilion Master."

"That's better forget it." Han Shou sighed, "If you do this, neither Liu Hanying nor the masters of Luohe Pavilion will do anything to you. If I do this, even if the real person lets me go, those old antiques will definitely skin me alive... I've almost copied all the Taoist scriptures in the Sutra Library."

At this point, the two of them inevitably exchanged some thoughts about their apprenticeship. Although Han Shou did not complain to Ji Zhao, from what he said, he felt that Zhenwu Mountain had too many rules and was not a place for human beings to stay. Ji Zhao had no way of knowing whether this was true or not. After all, Han Shou was a casual person and his endurance might be lower than that of ordinary people.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing that I have always been concerned about." Han Shou suddenly said, "Dong Dao Ren... I have always disliked this guy. I tried to trick him into giving me some powerful secret manuals, but failed. This guy is also crazy, but people always need a reason to do things... Ji Zhao, why did he target you? Could it be that he had seen you when he was teaching me and your second sister in Anchun County?"

Ji Zhao shook his head slowly: "I also want to know the answer to this question. Why are you chasing me like a mad dog?"

"Yes, what a curious thing." Han Shou sighed, "It's a pity that he is dead. We will never know the answer to the mystery. No one in the world can solve this mystery... Don't you think so?"

"Maybe." Ji Zhao said, "The world is full of wonders. Maybe the Taoist Dong has some friends and family."

"Haha... There's no point in thinking about this, just drink."

------

The next morning, Liu Hanying did not go out, but called Ji Zhao and Mo Yu.

Just like in the past, Liu Hanying always wore a white robe with a gentle smile on his face: "Yu'er, Minghui, I called you here today to test your swordsmanship... Come, you can attack me together, but you are only allowed to use the three sword techniques of Hanmei, Shuanglu, and Tianfeng."

Ji Zhao and Mo Yu looked at each other and knew that Liu Hanying wanted to test their abilities. If they passed, he would pass on some secret sword techniques to them. The two of them should not be negligent. They responded with "excuse me", took their weapons, and stood opposite Liu Hanying.

Liu Hanying stood in the middle of the yard, his eyes fixed on the two of them, without showing any arrogance because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides.

Ji Zhao and Mo Yu did not hesitate for too long. With their strength, it was impossible for them to find Liu Hanying's flaws. Even if Liu Hanying really had a flaw, they could not catch it. So there was no need to think too much. They just needed to show what they had learned and understood as much as possible.

call out!

The first to move was Mo Yu. She pointed the tip of her sword, and an afterimage seemed to appear on the sword body, which turned into two ends and pointed towards Liu Hanying. This was the Mi Xin Sword in the Tianfeng sword technique. It seemed that there was an afterimage, so one of the sword shadows must be fake. In fact, it was not the case. Both sword shadows were real, both formed by internal breath, and the real sword body was hidden between the sword shadows. It was a killing move that was extremely difficult to deal with.

Almost at the moment when Mo Yu moved, Ji Zhao also moved. His grasp of the timing was so accurate that it was frightening. Mo Yu's surprise attack was originally just an ordinary attack, but with Ji Zhao's cooperation, it was like a combination of killer moves that the two had rehearsed thousands of times to complete. It was perfect and impeccable.

Ji Zhao, he seemed to be born for killing, and it was not his destiny to decay into ashes in a peaceful era.

Swish!

A chill aura spread. Although Zhao Hongyue was not a purely yin-attributed martial art, it was also yin-biased. When Ji Zhao performed the Hanmei sword technique, it further stimulated the chill's lethality. Ji Zhao rushed out from an extremely difficult blind spot. The long sword in his hand was like a withered plum blossom. When the cold wind blew, it silently dissipated between heaven and earth... This was the Assassin's Sword, the third move of the Hanmei sword technique, which fell into a pile of red.

Facing the pincer attack from Ji Zhao and Mo Yu, Liu Hanying stood in place, with a little Taiyin energy spreading from his body. He first took a step forward at an incredible speed, stretched out his hand and tapped the flaw in Mo Yu's swordsmanship. He did not turn around, but accelerated directly, relying on his slightly faster speed than Ji Zhao to delay Ji Zhao's burst period. Then he tapped the wall with his toes, jumped in the air, and returned to his original position. Even his posture was the same... Needless to say, the assessment is not over yet.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 11: Heavenly Light Breaks Through

Ji Zhao and Mo Yu attacked forward, but Liu Hanying had no intention of fighting back. He kept using his heavenly cultivation to dodge their attacks, and occasionally he would lightly block them, using this method to test Ji Zhao and Mo Yu's cultivation.

The two knew that this was an opportunity to show off what they had learned, so they immediately used all their skills to display their swordsmanship and internal strength.

Although Ji Zhao had only been practicing martial arts for a short time, he had a fighting foundation from another world, amazing comprehension, and the unique feature of triple experience gain. Therefore, his swordsmanship was particularly exquisite, and those exquisite moves came to him easily, which made Liu Hanying marvel.
