Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

"By the way, there's no specific order for opening the Qi穴, right? Don't mess it up."

Su Yue asked again.

"Don't worry, there's no sequence restriction for the Qi穴.

"Stop babbling, quickly cultivate your heart method and don't waste time.

"Su Qingfeng once opened 27 Qi穴, then went to West Martial to open many more. You better not embarrass your dad."

Da Niu said impatiently.

This kid is such a chatterbox.

"The limit is 30 Qi穴, and Dad actually opened 27, that's impressive enough."

Su Yue nodded.

The heart method theoretically only allows you to choose one, but the Moon Nether True Scripture is a set, so you can supplement the Qi穴 at any time without any backlash.

But if you attempt to use two heart methods to accumulate Qi穴, you're preparing your own coffin.

Someone tried before, his relatives were very saddened.

Su Yue focused, his palm gently resting on the desk, and began circulating the Qi ring.

Boom!

The next moment, Su Yue gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling.

Holy crap.

Is there a fire being ignited inside me?

No, it's basically injecting magma.

The stone slab touched Su Yue's palm, and with the seven rings circulating, an area inside his body suddenly felt acute pain.

It truly felt like magma corroding.

The eeriest part was that Su Yue couldn't pinpoint which exact location was in pain.

But definitely within his body, it seemed both like the lower abdomen and the neck, impossible to describe.

This is the Qi穴.

According to Bai Xiaolong's account, the Qi穴 seemingly had no specific location.

...

Diligence Points +4

Diligence Points +5

Effort Times +4

...

The sound of diligence points increasing echoed in his mind, comforting Su Yue significantly.

It seems the suffering isn't in vain.

Unknown how much time passed, finally, the first Qi穴 was opened.

A warm flow surged through Su Yue's body.

Qi Blood.

Yes, the Qi Blood value increased by 1 card.

Su Yue was overjoyed.

Turns out opening one Qi穴 also increases Qi Blood by 1 card.

Nice.

This counts as a bonus.

Though painful, let's continue!

...

"Let's go, it'll probably take him until morning to open all his Qi Blood."

"Alright, let the kid be quiet. Hope he can break Su Qingfeng's record, considering he's eaten so many sardine cans."

"Whether breaking the record or not is unknown, but he'll definitely exceed 35 Qi穴. Look, there's already a dragon shadow behind him."

The elderly chatted leisurely.

Sure enough.

Su Yue sat by the desk, maintaining the pose with one hand resting on it.

Yet behind him, faint cloud shadows began to appear.

If looked closely, there were lines moving within the clouds.

Experienced warriors can determine how many Qi穴 Su Yue has opened from the phenomenon behind him.

Of course.

At Wuda, there are some advanced instruments that can monitor the real-time opening of Qi穴.

At this moment.

Su Yue had just opened his second Qi穴.

The stone slab at West Martial showed a half-moon phenomenon, but no dragon.

Pain!

The pain is overwhelming.

But Su Yue, who holds the diligence system, is already used to being hard on himself.

The current pain won't take him down.

...

Unbeknownst.

Night fell.

Mu Cheng went to Su Yue's dormitory and knocked on the door.

However, inside was dark, with nobody there.

"Tomorrow is the new student conference, and Su Yue is not in his dormitory at night, where did he go?

"After the new student conference, eight champions from four Wuda will have a round-robin battle with him, can this guy handle it?

"Dare to run around, so carefree."

Mu Cheng originally wanted to share some round-robin battle insights with Su Yue.

Unfortunately, the guy wasn't home.

The cruellest part of the new student challenge is right here.

If you're the number one from West Martial's new student conference, beating the champions from outside schools means you win.

But if you are the champion and came to West Martial.

It gets interesting.

That's right, you can skip the newcomer conference's ring fight and directly be the champion.

But unfortunately, you have to face a round-robin battle with eight champions from East Martial, North Martial, South Martial, and Warring States Military Academy.

There's no fairness in this.

Neither to West Martial nor other Wuda, it's unfair.

If someone draws to fight Su Yue first, they're just unlucky.

Given his champion status, he's likely to win.

But drawing to fight eighth doesn't give an advantage either.

Usually, the champion might suffer defeat by the fifth or even fourth round.

You might not get a chance to fight.

Too bad.

The Moon Nether True Scripture was originally an opportunity for other Wuda, and West Martial has to retain it with unequal sacrifices.

Mu Cheng wanted to find Su Yue, first, to share some round-robin experience.

Second, persuade Su Yue to take it easy.

If he loses, it's okay.

Apart from the Moon Nether True Scripture, West Martial also has other heart methods to open over 30 Qi穴.

"Is Su Yue not home?"

Bai Xiaolong also came to the door; he had gone through round-robin battles before and wanted to help Su Yue.

Though not necessarily to win, to endure each round.

"Don't know where he ran off to."

Mu Cheng shook her head.

"No problem, he can cultivate other heart methods if not the Moon Nether True Scripture, he won't be weak."

Bai Xiaolong smiled.

Losing a round-robin to an opponent isn't shameful.

"That's right, Meng Yang hasn't cultivated the Moon Nether True Scripture either; this time, he's likely to beat you."

Mu Cheng nodded.

"Sis, don't speak so harshly, the match hasn't started, so it may not be a loss."

Bai Xiaolong said with a pained expression.

"Last match was a tie, just that you had a home advantage as West Martial.

"This time, you might genuinely lose.

"Relax, once I take over the student council, I'll challenge Wuda everywhere to maintain West Martial's undefeated reputation."

Mu Cheng said earnestly.

"Girls, don't be so bloodthirsty, be careful not to get married.

"Too bad I like older sisters, otherwise we could've made do."

Bai Xiaolong grinned sinisterly.

"Scram!"

Mu Cheng glared at Bai Xiaolong and turned away.

She doesn't know why Su Yue's big head suddenly appeared in her mind.

Too strange.

Mu Cheng quickly dismissed the thought.

What kind of deal did Su Yue strike with his dad? The two laughed so oddly.

...

The next morning.

With the staff coordination, West Martial's huge playground had ring platforms set up.

The so-called new student conference is essentially a real battle capability assessment, this is known to all.

West Martial freshmen, in brand-new uniforms, all arrived; though not the meeting time yet, under tutor arrangements, they found their seats.

Even spectator teams from other schools had their observation areas.

Apart from Wuda four and Warring States Military Academy, other Wuda students could attend, guests are welcome.

West Martial's playground is enormous, accommodating many people.

Of course, those who arrived later may have to stand to watch.

The tutor responsible for organizing the new student conference was anxious.

Couldn't help but worry.

This conference's protagonist... the champion, is missing.

He didn't come to get the uniform yesterday.

Still not showing up.

An hour left until the conference starts, since it's the first of the semester, even the principal will attend, yet Su Yue is missing.

It's utterly frustrating.

...

"Oh no, I forgot something.

"West Martial is having a new student conference today, Su Yue is still opening Qi穴 here, will he miss it?"

In the early morning, five elders were having breakfast.

Suddenly, Black Chess Piece said.

"Call Zhao Jiangtao for leave, what's the big deal?"

White Chess Piece said nonchalantly.

"You call. I despise Principal West Martial, worse with each term."

Da Niu said with a murderous look.

The Moon Nether True Scripture was lost by West Martial, this grudge won't be settled this lifetime.

...

PS: Sorry, had something today, bit late, not abandoning, haha.
