Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Ji Jingqiu never expected that Federation Martial Arts would define the Five Limits of a Heavenly Person as a tangible scoring system.

Master Yang patted his shoulder heavily, his tone serious yet filled with a trace of reverie and expectation:

"In today's Martial Arts, it's not about who moves faster, but about who can break the limits and go higher within the same realm."

"So you must strive to achieve breaking the limit five times. Only then will you be qualified to climb even higher peaks!"

"The Federation distinguishes Martial Arts prodigies using a three-tier system: 'Sun, Moon, Star'. The East Three Bright Star has not produced a 'Group Stars' Martial Artist for hundreds of years. Both my master and I believe you have the chance. Go for it!"

Ji Jingqiu could feel the anticipation in his senior brother's tone and nodded earnestly.

Being in the wilderness, any direction is forward.

If there's a chance, he, who has been stationary for long, also wishes to ascend to higher places.

"Big Senior Brother, what does the assessment of Group Stars Martial Artist look at? The Five Limits of Heavenly People?"

"No. The assessment of Federal talents is very realistic and direct, mainly considering five indicators related to Martial Artist's combat power, collectively known as 'Martial Arts Five Circles'."

"…Five Circles?"

"Hey, don't think too much about it." Yang Yao joked, "The Five Circles refer to five combat power indicators of a Martial Artist, like the Body Skills Cultivation Technique in True Seed Realm, the grade of the Visualization Method, and the grade of Combat Skill inheritance."

"Each aspect is rated from Lower Rank to Mid-Grade, Superior, and even Upper Upper Rank."

"Anyone with two aspects reaching Superior grade is included in the sequence of Group Stars Martial Artists, becoming one of the Martial Arts stars of this era."

After listening, Ji Jingqiu was momentarily distracted and muttered, "Isn't the highest grade Visualization Method in our Martial Arts Hall only Mid-Grade?"

Yang Yao nodded: "That's why you must strive to break the Five Limits of Heavenly Person and compete for a place in the dojo. In any dojo, there will not be a lack of Superior grade Body Skills, Combat Skills, or even Visualization Methods, it's up to you to learn them."

…

"Mr. Yang, the report is ready." Supervisor Nan walked out, handing over a folder.

"Mm, thank you."

Taking the folder, Yang Yan pulled out the data report inside.

He hadn't even looked at the numbers when he heard Supervisor Nan say cheerfully:

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang, on gaining another excellent disciple! Your disciple has completed one Breaking Limit."

Yang Yan's hand paused; the next moment, he saw the data on the report.

Comprehensive Assessment: 96.

This was clearly data post-Breaking Limit.

Is the effect of gene enhancer really so strong?

The old master was somewhat bewildered.

He had practiced Martial Arts for decades and never heard of such a thing.

Hm... In various senses, Ji Jingqiu is a unique existence he has encountered.

He was sure Ji Jingqiu had not yet opened the Heavenly Person Door, lacking that profound and elusive Qi.

Before opening the Heavenly Person Door, to push his root bone to 96, even forming a prototype of the Reincarnation Body.

What spectacle would Ji Jingqiu present after breaking the Five Limits in the future?

99.99?

This is not simply having one more 9 or one fewer 9 but infinitely close to perfection!

In today's Federation Martial Arts, it's about who can get closer to perfection.

Early on, it seems only a step away, but as one progresses, the gap widens significantly.

Such individuals, while not nonexistent in the Federation, are all exceptionally gifted, embracing monumental opportunities, one in ten million.

But what does Ji Jingqiu have?

Alright, Evil Poison Disease combined with gene enhancer, using poison to fight poison, could that also be considered exceptional talent?

"By the way, your disciple's body seems severely depleted. Did he just break through? He needs good nourishment recently. Our company just launched a new product..."

Supervisor Nan seemed concerned as he spoke, taking the opportunity to promote their product package.

"Severely depleted?" Yang Yan caught the keyword, asking seriously, "Is there anything else abnormal?"

"Not really, just that we found his cells in an abnormally starving state, even depleted, considering he just broke through. It's considered normal."

Supervisor Nan pushed his glasses up, his tone professional when it came to technical issues.

"This situation is not common, but also not rare; it proves that your disciple has achieved a very high level of excavation of the physical treasure during this Breaking Limit.

However, the overdraw is quite severe, so attention must be paid to replenishment.

Before making up for the deficit, I don't recommend attempting a second Breaking Limit, as it may overdraw life potential.

After all, besides training in Martial Arts, one must also pay attention to nurturing, don't you think?"

Supervisor Nan spoke rather diplomatically.

Having a high completion degree in physical excavation is both good and bad for ordinary Martial Artists.

The benefits go without saying.

The downside is also clear as after one session of Breaking Limit, time and significant resources are needed to fill the bodily deficit, which would delay the progress of Breaking Limit.

And after the Heavenly Person Door is open, there is only one year.

Master Yang slightly nodded, his mind had long drifted away.

Even if it hadn't drifted away, he wouldn't care.

Because Ji Jingqiu hasn't yet pushed open the Heavenly Person Door.

He was contemplating another matter.

Some people in the Federation have not given up on the gene enhancement path, even though it is strictly forbidden by the Federation, and the research in the shadows has never stopped.

He once thought that those people were unwilling to give up the huge benefits behind this continuing approach.

But thinking carefully, with a blood lesson 120 years ago, even if a new gene editing project were developed, with what would they convince the entirety of the Federation?

The reason they have never given up, could it be that they see some new path on this road?

If so, who are the real financial backers and supporters behind them…

...

After leaving the Sun and Moon Testing Institution, a few individuals returned to the dojo.

Upon returning, he asked Ji Jingqiu to go directly to the training ground.

After Ji Jingqiu left, Master Yang's gaze slowly turned towards Yang Yao, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"What's up?"

Yang Yao felt uncomfortable under his gaze, powerless since his master did not indicate for him to leave.

"I really want you to test the waters for Liuzi and Wei'er," Master Yang sighed.

Yang Yao looked puzzled.

Even though he didn't understand his master's intent, his instincts told him it wasn't anything good.

Having elders above and youngsters below, how could it be his turn if there was something good!

"Alright, you can go." Master Yang suddenly called him back, "Make a call to the kitchen, ask them to add a meal at noon."

Add a meal?

Yang Yao scratched his head, has the old man's appetite increased again?

After Yang Yao left, Master Yang flipped through his communications records with Miss Mei on the terminal, remaining silent.

He had already decided that he wouldn't bring Ji Jingqiu with him when he left this time.

But unexpectedly, in just a few days, this thought was shaken.

With the potential Ji Jingqiu is presently showing, isn't it too wasteful to leave him in East Three Bright Star?

Perhaps, he should recommend him to the dojo instead…

...

Ji Jingqiu burped satisfactorily, walking on the way home.

He had originally planned to eat less for dinner today to save some stomach space, but Master Yang firmly made him carry out a plate-cleaning operation.

After returning to his room and washing up, he smelled the relatively lighter fragrance on his body.

According to Master Yang, this is a manifestation of the deep excavation of the physical treasure.

The injection of the gene enhancer this time has greatly improved him, creating a slight prototype of the Reincarnation Body, which will benefit his subsequent Breaking Limit.

Ji Jingqiu put on a clean set of clothes and prepared to go out.

Tonight was the day he and Lord Blade had agreed to meet offline.
