Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 276 - 153: From Looking Down to Looking Up, It Only Takes One Cut (8200 words)_3

"Just the top fifty?" Long Qingyang couldn't help but speak out.

The old man helplessly replied, "Does Qingyang think it's easy to enter the top fifty? At least in our days, you and I had no qualifications."

Long Qingyang's expression grew solemn; he was also considered the Peak of Arrogant Sun in his time, yet he did not qualify for the top fifty?

Suddenly, he made a comparison in his heart—how did his past self measure up against the current Ji Jingqiu?

Ultimately, he reached an answer.

It hurt his pride.

The most precious thing was that Ji Jingqiu still had many areas in which he could improve.

If he could Reverse Innate and step into the realm of the Innate Taoist Body, that would be a leap up to the heavens!

He wondered, what would his ranking be on the stele by then, and could he stand shoulder to shoulder with the Seven Marshals?

Suddenly, Long Qingyang paused, noticing a battle that had erupted somewhere. With the perception of a Heavenly Human Martial Artist, he had everything within several miles in his grasp.

He looked at another person in the field and casually said, "Mr. Jing He need not mind, young people don't know their own strength when they act."

The elder from the Sun and Moon Dojo remained indifferent, not paying attention to the victor's remarks.

...

Inside the training field.

Ji Jingqiu swept his long saber horizontally, its weight bearing down like a massive ocean's collapse, forcing Fei Ziqing to consecutively step back, not daring to confront him head-on.

As he faced Ji Jingqiu, who seemed to have a sea of Qi Vortex above his head, Fei Ziqing's complexion turned ugly, and his heart trembled with fear.

Qi Force surged around Ji Jingqiu, and behind him stood a towering Dharma Body, with an endlessly vast cloud sea above his head that now hung low like a vortex, emitting terrifying sounds of oceanic tides.

He had actually condensed a Law Domain!

And what kind of Law Domain was it?!

Wasn't he cultivating the Formless Dao Body? Has anyone in history ever condensed such a Law Domain resembling the deep-sea vortex, with the might of Heaven and Earth's Descent?

Fei Ziqing still attempted to "struggle," but his Sun and Moon Law Domain collapsed in an instant, crushed by the deep-sea Law Domain, and the Sun and Moon sank into the deep sea, never to rise again.

With one saber strike, Fei Ziqing felt as if an ocean wave had crushed down on him, his arms quivering as he was sent flying.

"Thank you, Senior Fei, for the lesson."

Ji Jingqiu remained at his original spot, not pursuing, but calmly speaking.

His opponent had not yet seen the Divine in Martial Arts, only reaching Acquired at its Peak with his Cultivation Body, on the same starting line.

With this, how could he fight against himself?

For a moment.

Silence fell upon the field.

Fei Ziqing's face turned red, but he managed to stand firm.

Yan Dongshun's eyes flickered with surprise and joy.

He rose and said, "Congratulations to Junior Ji for stepping into the Jiaoyang Forest!"

Ji Jingqiu nodded and said, "If Brother Yan doesn't take it, then I will be responsible for the first battle tomorrow."

Yan Dongshun laughed jokingly, "I can't wait, hopefully Junior Ji can take all five matches in a row, so we won't have to take part at all."

Ji Jingqiu began to ponder seriously.

...

...

The following day.

The order of the matches in the exchange competition was drawn by lots.

After the result came out, Count Loren from Luofeng Ancient Country returned to the base with a gloomy expression between his brows.

He glanced at everyone and said, "According to the draw, our opponent this afternoon is the Federation."

Among the five people inside the house, aside from Longsa, the rest showed pleasure, unable to contain their excitement.

A young man named Ross stepped forward first, with a smile that was excited and unrestrained, "Count Loren, I want to be the first to fight this afternoon!"

He even threatened his comrades with a look that dared them to compete with him.

Count Loren turned his gaze towards Longsa by the window.

Leaning against the window and emotionally attached to his saber, Longsa unconsciously stroked the hilt, recalling the young man he had met before.

This "rudimentary" schedule of the exchange war, but to start with the Federation?

"The list of their fighters is out, the first one to compete is Ji Jingqiu," Count Loren slowly said to Longsa, emphasizing the last name to hint at the obvious implication.

Longsa instantly understood that the young man he met not long ago was one of the leading figures in the new generation of the Federation that already had quite a reputation.

"Ji Jingqiu? That Ji Jingqiu who's been the talk of the net?" Ross grinned, "Isn't he said to be among the next generation of Martial Artists? Why did the Federation send him out?"

Count Loren said, "Strictly speaking, anyone under twenty from the Federation's side is considered part of one generation."

Ross grinned broadly, revealing his teeth, "It's the thrill of dominating talents that brings pleasure!"

Thinking of the power the young man might possess, Longsa stepped forward and slowly said, "Let me start this battle."

Ross' gaze shifted, his look towards Longsa filled with dissatisfaction, but he could only swallow it down.

"That's not possible," Count Loren immediately refused, "You're last, they go first, then it's your turn!"

Longsa wanted to say something more, but faced with Count Loren's stern and firm gaze, he sighed and returned to the window.

He knew very well that Count Loren intended to let Ross and the others wear down that person's strength, and then it would be his turn to deliver the final blow.

Seeing Longsa step aside, Ross jubilantly said, "Count, since Longsa is last, then I'll take the first battle this afternoon, no problem, right?"

Count Loren's expression softened slightly, "Of course."

Ross instantly revealed a victor's smile, proudly looking at his companions.

Aside from Longsa, the others could only smile helplessly.

Longsa suddenly said, "The other side is strong, you guys should be careful."

Ross and the others looked at their out-of-sync captain in surprise, nodded, but did not take it to heart, thinking Longsa was referring to a Martial Artist from the Federation called Yan Dongshun.

The latter, in Luofeng Ancient Country, would also be among the top tiers of the younger generation.

...

...

That very afternoon.

All parties were led into the venue by the staff of the War Control Department.
