Martial God Development Plan

After defeating the Taoist Dong, Ji Zhao's mind became clear, his comprehension broke through to level 8, and he gained a deeper understanding of martial arts. Now, when he performed, he was truly smooth and flawless.

As for Mo Yu, her talent is not against the sky, and she cannot compare with standard top geniuses like Xiu Yi, Yin Nanxue, and Gu Zhibai, but she is not much worse either. She started practicing sword at the age of six and was influenced by many famous masters, so her swordsmanship can be said to be perfect. With the cooperation of Ji Zhao, she is much stronger than usual...If it were an ordinary warrior, he might think that these two are a match made in heaven, so that they can cooperate so perfectly, but Liu Hanying is so skilled that he naturally understands who deserves the credit.

"...Let's stop here."

After half an incense stick of time, Liu Hanying took the initiative to stop the two of them. He nodded slightly with a satisfied look on his face.

"That's right... I won't say much about encouragement today. You have reached this level of cultivation at such a young age. Such achievements are enough to make you proud for a while. However, the martial arts world has no boundaries. You must not forget that there are always people better than you. "

After a brief sentence, Liu Hanying opened her mouth and got to the main topic of today.

"Since your cultivation has almost reached the peak, today, I will teach you a set of sword techniques and a set of secret martial arts."

Secret martial arts refers to the use of internal energy without fixed weapons. Any weapon can be released, allowing the warrior to adapt and use it according to the situation.

Generally speaking, however, most secret martial arts are performed in the form of palm techniques, because the human body is the best container for internal energy, and the palm is the best way to release internal energy. Therefore, there is a saying in the martial arts world that the ultimate goal of martial arts training is to fight with the palm.

Liu Hanying pulled out the Yin Shen, but did not activate the weapon. He just used it as an ordinary sword.

"This sword technique is called Huan Lian Sha. It is a secret manual that Wu An Gongwei Huo found after he defeated the Black Lotus Sect. Although it is called a sword technique, it is actually a semi-self-existence technique. It uses a small amount of internal energy to continuously stab the enemy, and uses special body techniques to make the opponent have certain illusions. Generally speaking, it is suitable for martial artists with Yin attributes, fast reaction speed, and a strong body. It is a sword technique used for one-on-one combat."

————Liu Hanying guessed that he wanted to say women's, but he had also learned it, and would teach it to Ji Zhao next, so he really couldn't say it, so he changed it temporarily.

"Watch and listen carefully."

Liu Hanying slowed down her movements and performed the Phantom Lotus Kill while explaining the subtleties of the moves to the two. This sword technique was extremely profound, requiring extremely high levels of coordination of the limbs and the mobilization of internal energy for coordination, and an amazing reaction speed. This kind of martial art was useless once learned, and a lot of training was required before it could be put into actual combat. It was completely different from martial arts like Gu Qu that could be performed with just standing there and releasing the waves... No wonder Liu Hanying didn't even call him Gu Qu.

After Liu Hanying finished practicing, he smiled at the two and said, "This sword technique has complex characteristics. Although it is powerful, it will take time to master it. You two can return to the pavilion and study it on your own in the future... However, this sword technique is a secret of the pavilion. When practicing, you must not be seen by other disciples. Although you will not be able to learn it even if they see it, this is the rule."

Ji Zhao agreed, Mo Yu seemed to want to say something but hesitated, but in the end, he said nothing.

Liu Hanying then continued, "As for the next set of secret martial arts...it was created by Wu'an Duke Wei Huo, and is called Tianguang Juechong."

The martial arts of Wu'an Duke Wei Huo!

If Gu Qu heard this, she would probably smile with joy. She was a die-hard fan of Duke Wu'an and even firmly believed that Ji Zhao was the reincarnation of Duke Wu'an. After coming to Luohe Pavilion, she had always shown great interest in Wei Huo's martial arts. But unfortunately, no one in the pavilion talked about Wei Huo's martial arts. Even Ji Zhao only confirmed a certain martial art of Wei Huo from Liu Hanying today.

"I originally wanted to pass this martial art to Gu Qu... However, after observing her for a few days, I feel that her control over her internal energy is still insufficient. If she really learns this move, I'm afraid it will backfire on her. So, I plan to pass it to you. However, I have to remind you in advance that this move consumes a lot of energy. If you are not absolutely sure, you must not use it. If someone dodges it, you will die."

Liu Hanying paused, and then said: "This is a killer move that can determine the outcome of the game. I can't tell you the specific effect, so you just wait and see..."

Liu Hanying sheathed his sword and stood there, concentrating. After a moment, he stretched out his hand, clenched his four fingers, and only extended his index finger, pointing to the sky.

The next moment, the blue with silver-white Taiyin internal energy turned into a stream of light, a thin line, but it penetrated the sky and earth for nearly a hundred feet!

--------

Late June.

Taixuan City, which suffered from the earthquake, went through many hardships, but relying on its advantageous geographical location and rapid support from other regions, it finally recovered a little. As for the Nie family, they were well aware of the principle of "one effort will lead to decline after the second", so they did not delay their progress at all because of the earthquake. Instead, they accelerated the progress, thinking that this was God urging the Central Plains martial arts world to select a martial arts leader as soon as possible.

The warriors from various sects and families finally arrived in Taixuan City on time...A martial arts conference will be held tomorrow.

Late at night, Ji Zhao tossed and turned, unable to sleep. After his comprehension level was raised to level 8, many accumulated inspirations in his head burst out, and he even modified the next version of Zhao Hongyue. Not only did the power not weaken, but the speed of cultivation also increased a lot. Unfortunately, because the internal energy flowed too fast, the meridians could not bear it, and he had to give it up temporarily... However, in addition to internal strength, there were many improvements in martial arts. Ji Zhao was planning to sleep, but suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of a good way to improve the martial arts he had learned. He thought it was late at night, so he would talk about it tomorrow. As a result, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so he simply got up and changed his clothes... Ji Zhao and Liu Hanying lived in the same yard. Because he was worried about disturbing Liu Hanying, Ji Zhao left the yard and found a deserted place, intending to verify what he thought in his heart.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 12: Seeing Gu Zhibai Again

The silvery-white moonlight poured down gently and landed on Ji Zhao... Ji Zhao's heart was as calm as still water, without any complicated thoughts in his mind. He let his body and inner breath move according to his instinct. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his fists and feet swung, making sharp sounds of breaking through the air.

During this process, Ji Zhao gradually felt a great joy... Just like the evening self-study in junior high school, when he pondered over a big math problem for a long time and finally solved it, a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction rose up. It was this feeling.

Dictator... Ever since Ji Zhao defeated this man, he has never experienced this feeling again. His blood will never boil, and Ji Zhao himself cannot hear the sound of his heartbeat. After coming to this world, Ji Zhao has lost before, but every time he was defeated, he could clearly find the opponent's flaws. It was just that due to his weak body and pitiful internal energy, he could never seize the flaws.

Dictator... Only he, in the virtual world, with exactly the same physical fitness, could truly force Ji Zhao into a desperate situation where his brain went blank and all his consciousness was completely surrendered to instinct. He couldn't think of anything and didn't want to think about anything. Only then could Ji Zhao truly feel that he was alive.

How wonderful it is! Ji Zhao can only hear the roar of his own heart when he is not thinking.

"call......"

After finishing a set of martial arts, Ji Zhao exhaled a breath, feeling a little regretful. At this moment, he had the idea of ​​changing the sonic martial arts "Ghosts and Gods' Wrath". Unfortunately, it was late at night, and if he roared here...tsk tsk.

Pop, pop, pop.

At this moment, rhythmic applause sounded from the side. Ji Zhao turned around and saw the man wearing a black robe, tall, with a dignified face... He had met this man before. It was the eldest son of the Nie family, the legendary master Nie Canghai!

Nie Canghai is a legendary figure. When he was young, he was uneducated, lazy, and had no proper job. The Nie family thought he was hopeless, but because of his noble status, they kept him alive. When the time was right, they planned to use him as a bargaining chip for a political marriage. However, Nie Canghai fell in love with a commoner girl, refused to accept his family's arrangement, and eloped with the girl...

However, things never go as planned, and the woman eventually died in an accident during the troubled times. There are many different opinions as to whether there was any conspiracy involved, but Nie Canghai's temperament did change drastically because of this. He returned to the Nie family, devoted himself to practicing martial arts, and eventually became a master. To this day, he even tries to become the leader of the martial arts world. Watching the whole process is truly inspiring.

Having said that, peeking at others practicing martial arts is definitely a taboo, but the current situation is special. First, Ji Zhao is practicing in a public place at Nie's house. Second, Nie Canghai, as a great senior in the martial arts world and the master of the Nie family, possesses countless martial arts secrets. The gap between his strength and status with Ji Zhao is too great, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. This is like a poor guy with only fifty yuan in his bank card entering his bank card password in front of the richest man in the world. At this time, blocking the richest man's view, it is hard to tell whether he is protecting his dignity or destroying his dignity.

Ji Zhao clasped his fists and said, "Junior Ji Zhao Ji Minghui has met Master Nie. My martial arts are so rudimentary that it is not worth mentioning. I am sorry to have made Master Nie laugh."

“If this kind of martial arts is considered to be rudimentary, then there won’t be any decent people in my Nie family.” Nie Canghai smiled faintly and said, “Ji Minghui… I’ve heard of you. You activated Qingshan Buyi.”

Ji Zhao said: "It's just luck."

"Lucky... Haha." Nie Canghai put his hands behind his back and stared at the bright moon in the sky. His eyes were dim. "It's so dark at night, but you are still practicing martial arts. You are really lucky, but it's what you deserve... You are born in a humble family, but you can be so self-reliant. It's really not easy. There is also such a bastard boy in the Nie family. He is smart and I like him. However, he always belittles himself because of his birth. He thinks that he is a rotten life and it is not worth dying. Humph! If a man doesn't even believe in himself, what can he do?!"

If it were an ordinary person, at this moment, they would definitely think that Nie Canghai and Ji Zhao were not even casual acquaintances, and that such words were a bit too much. But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that it is late at night, the martial arts conference is about to begin, and Nie Canghai is standing at a huge crossroads in his life. He must have a lot on his mind to wander around in the middle of the night without sleeping, so he said such words. Although he said them to Ji Zhao, he might have meant to say them to himself.

These words cannot be said to family and friends, but you can take this opportunity to say a few words to younger generations you meet by chance.

Compared to Nie Canghai who said these words the second time they met, Ji Zhao never revealed his true feelings. Even people like Ji Tan and Han Shou who had a very good relationship with him never got any hints from Ji Zhao other than "you will understand sooner or later". Therefore, he did not react much now, but responded according to the etiquette of the younger generation: "Mr. Nie, what you said makes sense."

This was an extremely boring reaction, but since Ji Zhao didn't expect to gain anything from Nie Canghai, he naturally didn't need to go to great lengths to show anything.

Nie Canghai looked at Ji Zhao steadily, and after a moment, he waved his sleeves and left.

"Rest early. If you can't muster up your energy in front of all the heroes tomorrow, you will lose face for your Pavilion Master."

......

After returning to his residence, Ji Zhao was about to push the door and walk in. However, when he put his hand on the door, his heart suddenly startled, and an indescribable sense of alertness came over him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his muscles tensed all over his body. At the same time, he secretly circulated his internal energy and pushed open the door as usual.

Whoosh!

As soon as the door was opened, a black shadow rushed towards him from the blind spot. Ji Zhao reacted quickly, bursting out his internal energy in an instant, and grabbed the opponent's arm with his backhand, and with a grappling move, he pinned the man in black under him with a bang!

"What......?!"

Before he even uttered the word "人", Ji Zhao realized something was wrong from the inexplicably familiar soft touch.

“It hurts, it hurts…!”

Sure enough, a familiar voice came from under the black veil, with a hint of regret: "Let go! Let go! It hurts! It's me!"

This was Gu Zhibai's voice. It had been nearly half a year since we last met in February, and now we were meeting in this place and in this way?

Ji Zhao's expression remained unchanged. He reached out and tore off her veil. It was indeed Gu Zhibai underneath. She had a smile on her face that was neither funny nor sad, a bit like the expression of someone who was forcibly tickled and felt annoyed but also wanted to laugh. It seemed that she felt that her current situation was a bit embarrassing.

Ji Zhao let go and said speechlessly: "What are you doing......?"

"I want to scare you, Young Master Ji." Gu Zhibai rubbed her arm with a resentful expression. Because the situation was no longer so urgent, her words became back to the old ones, and her tone became calm. She smiled playfully and said, "If I suddenly come out and grab you, Young Master Ji, when you open the door, and bend down and whisper in your ear, 'Guess who I am', then, when you open the door in the future, will you always wonder if Miss Gu will jump out?"

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Moon and Snow: Chapter 13: Just Playing Stupid

Ji Zhao held his forehead with his hand... This is indeed what Gu Zhibai would say, and what she would do. This woman was quite reserved at the beginning when she and Ji Zhao were in trouble. Even though she did whatever she wanted later, she was thought to be normal after leaving nature and returning to society, but she didn't expect that she would still get sick when she met him.

He sighed, sat at the table beside him, and poured a cup of tea for Gu Zhibai in the moonlight... This is a nice way of saying it, but in fact it is just a glass of cold water.

"I still have a lot of doubts now." Ji Zhao said, "Can you give me some answers?"

He didn't need to say what those doubts were, because it was obvious.

Gu Zhibai sat opposite Ji Zhao, crossed her long legs, and said with a smile: "It's very simple... I wanted to join in the fun of the martial arts conference, so I came here. I also know that Liu Hanying, as the head of Luohe Pavilion, will definitely come to participate in the martial arts conference. According to custom, he must bring two disciples. Who in Luohe Pavilion is the most worthy of bringing? Without a doubt, it is you, Young Master Ji... If there is really a lot of effort, it is actually to determine your residence, Young Master Ji. After all, this Nie Mansion is really not small, and there are many people living there."

Gu Zhibai paused, her eyebrows curved: "As for why I did all this, I just explained the reason, but I didn't plan to do it this way. I originally prepared this, intending to sneak in and do something big, but I didn't expect that you, Young Master Ji, were not here, so I changed my method."

As he said that, he took out a stick of incense from his bosom. Ji Zhao had studied with Han Gongqiu for a while, so he knew that this was a harmless and ordinary stick of incense. Moreover, with Gu Zhibai's level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to do something to Ji Zhao quietly next to Liu Hanying. If Liu Hanying was really alarmed, ten lives would be enough to kill her. So he didn't make a big deal about it, but just sneered: "What do you want to do by bewitching me?"

Gu Zhibai stood up and walked to Ji Zhao. There was a fragrance on her body, but it was not the smell of perfume, because even after staying in the deep mountains and forests for more than ten days, Ji Zhao could still smell this scent on her.

But she leaned down, stared into Ji Zhao's eyes and said with a smile: "Do you want to know?"

Ji Zhao looked away slightly: "...boring, who wants to know such a thing."

Gu Zhibai smiled happily: "Really not interested?"

Ji Zhao said, "I won't say this a second time... So, your attempt to scare me has failed. We can only do it another day. Can we go now? The Pavilion Master is sleeping in the room opposite. If you wake him up, it will be troublesome."

"Speaking of this..." Gu Zhibai stretched out her voice and said pitifully, "It's like this. Taixuan City was hit by an earthquake recently. Many inns were badly damaged. In addition, the martial arts conference is coming soon. Many martial artists from other places have come and filled up all the places. Many people have no place to sleep and can only sleep in refugee rooms. People come and go in that place. It's very inconvenient for my little daughter, a girl who is so beautiful."

Ji Zhao squinted his eyes, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "You mean, you can't find a place to live?"

"Yes." Gu Zhibai knew that Ji Zhao had seen through her purpose, but she didn't care at all. She held her chin with one hand and smiled, "If you are willing to spend some money and put in some effort, maybe you can find it, but I have used this time to find Ji Shaoxia's residence, so now I have nowhere to go. It's late at night and everything is closed. I have nowhere to go. If I am kicked out, I can only sleep on the streets. What should I do? I am so distressed~~"

Then you'll have to sleep on the streets... Ji Zhao did not say this complaint aloud. Firstly, he knew it was meaningless to say it aloud. What if Gu Zhibai came and made some noise, and woke up Liu Hanying? That would be... Secondly, he himself did not know if he realized it or not, but subconsciously he did not want to say such things to Gu Zhibai.

Ji Zhao said, "Okay."

"Yes, what?" However, Gu Zhibai showed a cunning look. She blinked her big eyes and stretched out the ending tone, "I haven't asked for anything yet. When Master Ji said yes, what does it mean~?"

Ji Zhao found it a little amusing and stretched out his index finger to lightly touch Gu Zhibai's forehead.

"Heh... you're just playing dumb. What's okay? You know what's going on. Since you have nowhere to go, do you think I should chase you away?"

Gu Zhibai said in a tender voice: "I don't think Young Master Ji would be so cruel."

Ji Zhao continued, "However, I have already made an engagement with Miss Lielian. I slept with you before because we were both seriously injured and the weather outside was cold, so it was a temporary measure to keep warm. But now we cannot do such a shameful thing."

Gu Zhibai didn't react much after hearing this, which was within her expectations. She just smiled and said, "I think so too. So what are you going to do, Young Master Ji? Are you going to let me lie on the table for the whole night?"

Ji Zhao smiled and said, "Since you are a guest, how can I let you put up with this... But by the way, Miss Gu, have you heard of this? There is a skill in this world that can make people sleep on a rope."

"Sleeping on a rope..." Gu Zhibai was slightly startled. "I've never heard of it. How do you do it?"

Ji Zhao has been in a good mood recently, so he started chatting with Gu Zhibai.

"It's just hanging a rope in the air, and then..."

Gu Zhibai, who had some ideas, interrupted with interest: "Lean your body up, hang your hands and head on one side, and stand on the ground with your feet. Sleep like this?"

If Ji Zhao had been more educated, he would have known that this kind of thing really happened in England in the 19th century. This shows that Gu Zhibai actually had imagination and creativity, and came up with such a feasible plan. However, Ji Zhao, whose mind was full of the Condor Heroes, shook his head and said with a smile, "Of course not, it's sleeping on top with the whole body, just like on a bed, but you have to maintain balance."

Gu Zhibai was a little surprised: "Can you do it?"

"It can be done." Ji Zhao has been in a good mood in recent days, so he started chatting with Gu Zhibai. "I mentioned this when I was chatting with Master Mo. Master Feng... that is, the Thief Saint Xiaoyao Feng in our pavilion. He happened to be in the Sutra Library. He heard this and became interested. After returning, he thought about it and created this Sleeping Rope Skill, which allows people to maintain perfect balance while sleeping. When he was teaching, he proudly taught this thing to all the disciples... Although I was not interested, there was nothing worth distracting me in class at that time, so I learned it."

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 14: No Longer Lonely

Xiaoyao Feng, no one knows where his master's inheritance comes from, no one knows who taught him martial arts, and no one even knows what his real name is, or what kind of people he has under his command. He is completely synonymous with mystery. Gu Zhibai is suspected to be Ning Ren's spy, and is extremely wary of Xiaoyao Feng. Now, after hearing the anecdotes about him, he was stunned for a moment... The reason is simple, Xiaoyao Feng is sometimes quite abstract in doing things.

Gu Zhibai thought it was completely acceptable for Xiaoyao Feng to create a unique martial art, but creating such a strange martial art was really...

"Is this... encouraging the disciples to be upright gentlemen?"

After several breaths, Gu Zhibai finally spoke these words.

"You have also considered this situation." Ji Zhao paused, and then said, "However, there are not only male disciples among us, so it can be considered as protecting the female disciples."

"Protect the female disciples?" Gu Zhibai chuckled, looking at Ji Zhao's eyes which had turned red due to his practice of Zhao Hongyue, and smiled meaningfully, "If there are women who are willing to spend the night in the same room with men, then they basically don't need this Sleeping Rope Technique."

"......" Ji Zhao looked away again and changed the subject, "Who knows... Go to sleep."

After saying that, he went out and found a rope in the utility room next to him. He hung it somewhere and lay down on it. The internal energy in his body flowed evenly, allowing him to maintain an incredible balance. He actually slept on the rope, dangling like that.

"..."

The room was quiet for a while, and then there was a rustling sound. Gu Zhibai put down the tent to keep warm and avoid insects, took off her clothes, and lay down in the quilt.

Ji Zhao didn't look. He put his hands under his head, closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep.

"Hmm..." Just then, Gu Zhibai spoke. She leaned sideways and looked at Ji Zhao, who was illuminated by the moonlight, "I always feel that it's a little incomplete."

"What do you mean?" Ji Zhao said, "Didn't I let you stay? Or do you like being rejected by me and then begging me or threatening me?"

"That's not what I'm talking about... I'm very satisfied with Young Master Ji's reaction now." Gu Zhibai said lightly, "I just think that at this time, someone should come over to talk to Young Master Ji at night, and in order to avoid being discovered, they can only squeeze into one bed... Isn't there a common plot like this in the storybooks? Every time, a certain young master has a night talk in the palace or the royal mansion, and every time he hides in the princess's fragrant bed, and he might even encounter some tough guards..."

"You are really poisoned by those storybooks." Ji Zhao didn't open his eyes, but couldn't help laughing softly, "You always have inexplicable expectations for some strange things."

"Is it not good?"

"No, it's good. At least when the God of Fortune led the way, we really got a bargain."

"Hehe... I have very good luck. As long as you stay with me, you will definitely encounter countless good things."

"Maybe. I hope so."

"..."

After this sentence, the room fell into a brief silence again. Ji Zhao actually felt inexplicably uneasy. If Mo Yu, Fu Caige or Gu Qu came to find him at this time, how should he respond? Should he hide in panic as Gu Zhibai said, or explain the reason openly?

I don’t know…I can’t think of the answer. Until that moment really comes, no one can guarantee their choice.

"Ji Zhao." Suddenly, Gu Zhibai spoke again. She did not call him Young Master Ji anymore, but called him by his name. In the darkness, her eyes seemed to be shining. "Are you cold?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this... It's not cold. My cultivation is not that weak yet. Besides, it's the end of June now. It's summer."
