Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 20: Eastern Expedition
Pei Xingjian sighed and his face returned to calm: "I lost."
Qi Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Let's spar again next time when we have time."
Pei Xingjian shook his head: "This is not a competition. There is no need to whitewash my strength. I am no match for you."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said bluntly: "I really want you to teach me this sword move, but after thinking about it, it seems that this move cannot be learned by teaching."
Qi Ji took off his helmet and tucked it under his ribs, nodded and said, "Indeed, I don't know how to teach you the sword moves just now even if you asked me to."
Pei Xingjian also took off his helmet and looked at Qi Ji with sharp eyes: "Tell me, do I still have a chance to catch up with you?"
Qi Ji looked at the other person and laughed loudly: "If you can keep going like this, it's very likely that you will surpass me in the future."
He said meaningfully: "After all, there is still a long way to go in the future."
Pei Xingjian looked at him in confusion, not understanding why Qi Ji suddenly became a riddle man.
Qi Ji smiled without saying anything. This old man didn’t even know about the existence of the extraordinary and the outside world.
By the time he reaches the ninth level, Mr. Yu and Qin Zijin will probably come to visit him.
I'm looking forward to what kind of expression the guy will have after he knows about the outside world.
Qi Ji gave a wicked smile, left Pei Xingjian who was confused, turned around and walked off the stage.
Pei Xingjian glanced at Qi Ji's back in confusion, then stopped hesitating and raised his hand to signal the referee.
After a while, the referee stood on the stage and announced loudly.
"Pei Xingjian admits defeat, Qi Ji wins!"
"Congratulations to Coach Qi for obtaining the qualification of head coach of Zhenwu United Center with the highest score!"
The next moment, warm applause and cheers from the Zangfeng personnel filled the entire joint center training ground.
…
On that day, the news that Qi Ji of Cang Feng defeated Pei Xingjian of Wan Jian and won the qualification of head coach of Zhenwu United Center spread all over the Internet.
At the same time, the discussion about Qi Ji's true strength once again became a hot topic.
Incredible power, terrifying speed, and a variety of magical moves.
The strength that Qi Ji has recently demonstrated in public is simply not what an eighth-dan player can achieve.
Some even suggested that perhaps most of the ninth-level masters had never seen such expressiveness.
The eighth level of sitting meditation allows one to fully utilize the sixth sense to assist in combat and reach the level of ultimate response to emptiness, which is not a level that ordinary people can achieve through training.
The ninth level of trance is the perfect combination of mind and body. It enables one to fully control the body and bring out its various limits.
However, even with all their magical powers, the masters of these two levels are still human beings in essence.
As long as we are human, there are limits to our strength and speed.
However, Qi Ji's current performance already seems to have surpassed human limits.
Currently, the only people in the world who are recognized as having surpassed the world's limits seem to be three sword masters...
"Has Qi Ji already reached the level of a sword saint?"
As soon as this somewhat sarcastic post came out, accompanied by various half-true and half-false data arguments, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
Some people agreed, some criticized, and some thought it needed further review. The number of levels in the post almost reached tens of thousands overnight.
Putting aside the uproar on the Internet, after Qi Ji won the position of head coach, he signed a contract on the spot.
The terms of the contract are quite loose.
In fact, the position of head coach originally existed to establish the decision-making power for additional income.
When the Zangfeng, Wanjian and Longchang clubs established the Zhenwu United Center, the agreed profit distribution was that each of them would take 30%. As for the remaining 10%, each club would send out top players to compete for the position of head coach every three years. Whichever club had the better player would get the remaining 10% extra profit.
Therefore, the title of head coach is essentially just an empty title.
However, there are a few specific terms that must be followed.
The first is to fly to Shen'an City once a month to provide guidance as the head coach at the center.
The second rule is to cooperate with the center to take on at least one security order every year, with the profits split 80% between the individual and the center, with the majority going to the individual. This is to use the head coach to maintain the reputation of the center's security business. Of course, if the head coach is willing, he can also take on an unlimited number of security tasks.
Qi Ji took a look at it and felt it was acceptable, so he signed it without any resistance.
Then, he asked Mr. Chen and Zhang Zizai from Zangfeng to return to the headquarters , and he stayed in Shen'an City for one more day to complete his monthly guidance targets as the head coach.
Qi Ji, the most popular eighth-level master, personally sat in the center headquarters to provide special training and guidance.
This immediately excited the combat personnel in the surrounding area who were not on any missions. Qi Ji was almost nailed to the training ground and unable to leave for the whole day. Nearly a thousand fighters came to him in turn to ask him about their doubts in martial arts.
Qi Ji had never seen such a scene before. He forced himself to hold on until the end of the get off work day and felt like he was about to vomit from exhaustion.
To be honest, he would rather beat Pei Xingjian ten times in a row than experience this kind of teaching career again.
I regret it. It was a wrong decision to be the head coach!
After get off work, Qi Ji dragged his tired body back to the hotel.
He casually turned on the TV and let the news play. Qi Ji then lay down on the sofa and was completely immersed in it.
After practicing the Meridian Nourishing Method for a while, I began .
He felt a little better.
At this time, the cell phone rang.
Qi Ji took a look and was surprised. It was an international call.
It is Shangquan Yiren.
Qi Ji picked up the phone casually: "Hello, Shangquan?"
"Hello, Qi Jisang!" Shangquan Yiren's voice was a little restrained.
Qi Ji held the phone nonchalantly and said with a smile, "What's wrong? You seem so distant after not seeing each other for a few days."
Shangquan Yiren hesitated for a long time, and finally said it frankly: "It's like this, I thought about it for a long time, and I can only think of asking you for help."
Qi Ji laughed and scolded: "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now!"
"It's like this, Qi Ji, have you heard of 'Death Madness Sword Fight'?" There was a hint of caution in Shangquan Yiren's words.
"Death Crazy Sword Fight? It sounds like a term that only appears in fantasy animation." Qi Ji held the phone and watched the news on TV.
After saying that special term, Shangquan Yiren seemed to relax a little and said quickly: "Unlike your Great Xia, including our Sakura Country, there are many countries and regions on Earth that still follow the bloody rule of the jungle in their bones. Under such rules, the struggle for interests has been accompanied by blood since ancient times."
He paused, as if organizing his words, and continued, "In Sakura Country, there was a long period of time when the competition between capitals, in addition to the overt market competition, also included a large number of assassinations, kidnappings and other extra brutal . Later, many capitals found that this kind of internal friction was too tragic, and finally reached a tacit agreement."
Qi Ji sat up straighter and became interested: "What agreement was reached?"
"When two companies are faced with inevitable direct competition, a 'special organization' will host a sword fight. Each side will send out its own 'swordsmen' to fight with real swords. Based on the result of the duel, the winner takes all, and the loser withdraws."
Qi Ji was a little surprised: "Are you guys in Sakura playing so dark? I've never heard of such a thing in Daxia."
An awkward laugh came from Shangquan Yiren: "Actually, I have never heard of this kind of thing before. My father came to me after I came back and hoped that I could find a powerful swordsman for his company. His company is now facing a very critical and large-scale cooperation opportunity, but many other companies are eyeing this opportunity."
"Wait." Qi Ji interrupted Shangquan Yiren: "You don't want me to participate in this so-called death madness competition on behalf of your father's company, do you?"
Shangquan Yiren immediately hesitated: "Well... this, uh..."
Qi Ji decisively interrupted him: "Don't even think about this kind of thing, it's impossible!"
What a joke, Qi Ji has a bright future ahead of him. What great benefits could there be that would make him risk his life for Xiao Yinghua's company?
Think his head was caught in the door?
"Ah! Please don't rush to refuse, Qi Ji-san." Shangquan Yiren on the other side said hurriedly: "My father's company is a new potential enterprise in Sakura. Once it develops, it will be enough to influence the decision of the Sakura Cabinet..."
"That's none of my business..." Qi Ji watched the news on TV while laughing, and then he couldn't laugh anymore.
His voice turned cold, and he asked calmly, "You just said that your father's company can influence the cabinet's decision?"
Shangquan Yiren on the opposite side was stunned, and then immediately said: "My father said that if we seize this opportunity, the company will usher in huge development. With the support of funds, the strength of their political party will increase greatly, and their influence in the cabinet will also expand!"
"Will that solve the problem?" Qi Ji asked, then turned up the volume of the TV series to the maximum and placed the phone next to the TV speakers.
At this time, the news happened to broadcast a key content of this news.
After the news was broadcast, Shangquan Yiren on the opposite side also understood what Qi Ji meant instantly. He said firmly: "Qi Ji-san, I guarantee with my life that the new environmental protection technology researched by my father's company is aimed at dealing with such matters. You can ask Zijin-san to help you investigate and confirm!"
He then said: "Once you help my father's business succeed, with the dual promotion of the cabinet and corporate technology, this matter will definitely be greatly improved!"
Qi Ji said coldly: "Of course I will find someone to investigate and give you a reply in two days."
Kamiizumi Yito on the other end immediately agreed excitedly, and both parties hung up the phone.
Qi Ji stared blankly at the images on the TV news.
A large number of dead fish were floating on the dark and gloomy sea.
…
Three days later, Qi Ji walked out of the international airport in Tokyo, the country of cherry blossoms, alone, dragging his suitcase.
Kamiizumi Yito came over with an excited smile.
