Volume 2 That World Chapter 11: Martial Arts Performance at Jiange
Qin Zijin looked at Qi Ji with a smile: "In five days, the 'Martial Arts and Sword Competition' held every five years by my sect 'Jian Ge' will begin. It aims to gather all the young talents in the outer domain of Donghua Continent who have not yet entered the extraordinary realm to compete in martial arts, exchange experiences in battle, and stimulate their potential to enter the extraordinary realm earlier."
"Jian Ge is one of the large forces in the Inner Domain that has taken root in the Outer Domain. Our team defending the arena needs you and Bai Tianhe to join us."
Qi Ji was a little confused when he heard the unfamiliar terms coming out of Qin Zijin's mouth. He thought about it and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Is there any danger to life in this competition?"
Qin Zijin nodded: "Yes!"
Qi Ji clasped his fists towards Qin Zijin and said, "Goodbye!"
Qin Zijin smiled and hit him: "Stop it!"
Then she said seriously, "I am only telling you responsibly that 'life-threatening' is a low-probability event. Because the Outlands value martial arts, protective gear is not allowed in competitions there. However, in order to avoid a high chance of death on the spot, all weapons used by everyone are still unsharpened."
Qi Ji said speechlessly: "That's very dangerous too. Do you really think you can't kill someone without a gun?"
Qin Zijin smiled slightly: "This statement is indeed true here. We are in a world without demons. If you are seriously injured in the ring, you will easily die. But don't forget, I told you that the outside world is an extraordinary world."
She said confidently: "Jian Ge will send a corresponding number of extraordinary healing masters to serve as healers for each arena. As long as the brain is not chopped off by a knife, they can basically be pulled back from the brink of death and recover as before."
"How is it, extraordinary, very wonderful, right?"
What else could Qi Ji say? He could only continue to demonstrate his manly nature of not being a coward: "Okay, for your sake, I'll be the champion."
Qin Zijin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are thinking very nicely. As the host, it is a matter of face. The Jiange arena cannot afford to fail. The champion will be our senior sister who is about to enter the extraordinary realm. As for you, you can be the deputy champion."
"Okay." Qi Ji agreed, then looked at Qin Zijin with a sly smile: "Since I'm doing this job for your Jian Pavilion, what's the reward?"
Qin Zijin also looked back at him with a wicked smile: "How about I kiss you?"
This girl started selling tea again!
Qi Ji looked disgusted and said, "Girl, you're making me lose both my wife and my army. If you kiss me, you'll gain something, okay? Let's be practical!"
Qin Zijin's face flushed, and he smiled and hit him, then said seriously: "You will get the reward. The Sword Pavilion has prepared a treasure for the chief this time. As for you geniuses from the inner domain who helped defend the ring, we will give you another reward."
"That's fine." Qi Ji chuckled.
Qin Zijin thought about it, then tapped his forehead lightly and said, "Mr. Yu told me last night that he would discuss this matter with the senior management of your Cangfeng today. He would let you disappear for a month under the pretext of personally training you in a closed environment. I'm sure that your Cangfeng would be very happy to accept this."
Qi Ji was stunned for a moment, then became excited: "Huh? Mr. Yu, is it Sword Saint Yu? Is this related to him?"
Qin Zijin smiled and said, "Of course they are related . After Master Sword Saint arrived at the Overlimit, it was Sword Pavilion that led him to the Outer Realm. He is our special guest. In this martial arts competition, he is the leader of the Sword Pavilion team."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
It would be so cool that Grandpa Yu could lead the team in this competition!
Ever since Qi Ji came into contact with Bingji, he has been worshipping this Great Xia Sword Saint whose experience is full of legendary stories. How to say it, he is a die-hard fan!
No one was talking during the day, and suddenly, Qi Ji's cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw it was a call from Zhang Zizai.
He raised his eyebrows to Qin Zijin, who blinked and smiled back.
Qi Ji picked up the phone, and Zhang Zizai's excited voice came over: "Qi boy! When did you get in touch with Master Sword Saint!"
Qi Ji smiled and said, "What's wrong, Lao Zhang?"
Obviously, the Sword Master has already communicated with the top management of Zangfeng and is now looking for Zhang Zizai to notify them.
Zhang Zizai immediately started talking.
There is no need to elaborate on the extra words. The general situation is that Zang Feng happily agreed to the Sword Saint's proposal. Qi Ji happened to be banned from the game, so there was no loss at all in sending him to special training.
Of course, he had to settle the business deal he had on hand right away, which was the advertising campaign for the Bingji sports brand.
After finishing the trivial matters and hanging up the phone, Qi Ji looked at Qin Zijin again.
Qin Zijin had been looking at him, with stars twinkling in his eyes. When he saw Qi Ji looking at him, he covered his mouth and teased, "So you agreed to the endorsement with Guanchao? Their offer seems quite substantial. Our Qi Shen is going to be a rich man now."
Qi Ji rubbed his head and said jokingly, "I make a little money to support my family, unlike you who lives in a big villa! Rich woman, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"
Qin Zijin rolled his eyes at him.
After chatting with Qin Zijin for a while, Qi Ji saw that the time was almost up, so he said goodbye to Qin Zijin.
Qin Zijin immediately went upstairs and brought him a set of sportswear that looked like a perfect fit: "Your suit is stained with blood, so just throw it away. I roughly estimated your body shape and asked someone to buy you a set of clothes. I hope it will fit you."
Virtuous! So virtuous!
Before leaving, Qin Zijin warned him earnestly: "You must remember that everything I tell you today must not be revealed to a third person. The vast majority of ordinary people in the inner domain will never be able to achieve transcendence in their lifetime. The spread of the news will be useless except for causing unrest."
Qi Ji nodded to show his understanding, but finally couldn't help asking, "What happened to that 'strange person' who looked like a demon last night?"
Qin Zijin looked at him with a smile: "The higher-ups have always had a special department to deal with aliens since ancient times, so you don't have to worry. The one who came this time is a rare high-level alien, and he is probably being sliced up in a secret base now."
As she spoke, she frowned slightly. "By the way, don't let your guard down just because you think you can kill this demon here yourself. This kind of high-level demon is very scary in the world of 'Qi' in the Outer Realm. When you get there, if you see this kind of high-level demon, remember to run as far away as you can!"
Qin Zijin finally emphasized: "The high-level foreign demons in the outer realm can probably only be dealt with by masters like the Sword Saint who have entered the extraordinary realm in the outer realm and have practiced for more than ten years."
Qi Ji nodded to show that he understood.
Ten minutes later, Qi Ji left Qin Zijin's villa and got in the car arranged by Qin Zijin to go to Zang Feng.
…
In the Zangfeng headquarters, Qi Ji met Yu Chengen smoothly.
As soon as they met, Yu Chengen couldn't help but pat Qi Ji's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Zi Jin should have told you about what happened over there, right?"
Qi Ji nodded excitedly: "Yu Jiansheng! I am honored to be able to follow you to fight over there this time!"
"Haha! No need to be so polite. Zijin has always called me Grandpa Yu, so you should do the same." Yu Chengen laughed and said, "I should say sorry to you. I wanted to observe you for another two years to see how you grow. I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise. You are really capable to defeat 'that thing' by yourself!"
Qi Ji smiled modestly: "I think luck played a big role. I wouldn't have been able to hold on for another ten seconds last night."
Yu Chengen nodded and smiled, "Indeed, you are lucky, but luck can only work if it is based on your strength. I know this, so you don't have to be modest."
Qi Ji couldn't help but ask a question he had always wanted to ask: "Master Yu, logically speaking, Bai Tianhe and I don't seem to be the most powerful among the younger generation, so why did you choose us to go?"
He added: "As far as I know, there is Pei Xingjian, who is not even 28 years old, but has already reached the eighth level. He must be a very talented person, and seems more suitable to go there than me."
Yu Chengen nodded in approval: "Pei Xingjian is indeed the best swordsman under 30 years old in Daxia. I have always kept an eye on him."
Yu Chengen added: "If I hadn't confirmed that I would take you with me this time, I would have gone to look for him. However, it is precisely because his level has reached an extremely high level that I want to wait until he reaches the 9th stage and touches the 'limit', and then use this rare 30-day opportunity to help him achieve a breakthrough there."
"After all, everyone only has one chance in their lifetime to stay there for 30 days before exceeding the limit."
He glanced at Qi Ji and suddenly smiled, "Qi Ji, you are different. Although you are extremely talented, you still have a long way to go before reaching the 8th and 9th stages. Just like my Tianhe, there is no need to force the rare opportunity to gain experience to the 9th stage. Going there in advance and broadening your horizons can actually speed up your progress."
Qi Ji touched his chin and nodded to show his understanding: "So that's how it is, Mr. Yu, I understand."
Yu Chengen patted his shoulder with relief and said, "Time is tight, so you just have to work hard. Take care of Zang Feng's affairs today. We will leave tomorrow, and Zijin will come to pick you up then."
Qi Ji nodded to show that he understood: "Mr. Yu, I will go back to prepare after I finish shooting the endorsement advertisement today."
"Also, I'm not just taking you and Tianhe with me this time." Yu Jiansheng smiled. "You have another teammate, which means that the three of us will go over there and form a four-person defense team with Zijin's senior sister to face the various geniuses over there."
Another teammate?
Qi Ji touched his chin, wondering from which lineage of family this genius would come.
And what about the outside world?
Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil!
