Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

Morning.

In the depths of his body, Su Yue could already feel 25 energy nodes absorbing spiritual qi, although he couldn't pinpoint their exact locations.

Unfortunately, the spiritual qi on Earth is too scarce, so the effects aren't very strong.

But compared to before, it's also a huge improvement.

When it reached the 26th energy node, he was in such pain that his entire body convulsed.

His eyelids were heavy, unable to open, and even if he forced a slit open, everything was blood-red, seeing nothing.

Su Yue felt that the meridians throughout his body were broken.

He was in a state akin to a vegetative person.

If not for the increasingly severe pain, Su Yue would think he was already dead.

...

Diligence value +4

Extract diligence +4

Diligence value +3

...

The diligence value prompts in his mind continued without cease, which served as another support besides the Qi Blood rewards.

Su Yue held onto one belief!

Persevere.

Keep persevering.

Even if there was an abyss of hell ahead, he would persevere.

Having endured the Bone-Washing Water.

Having endured the platinum liquid.

Having endured the relentless torment of the Ning Beast Forest.

He wouldn't be easily defeated.

The stronger the pain from the outside world, the more resilient Su Yue's willpower became.

Su Yue even wanted to thank the system's torment.

Resistance to setbacks is a skill that needs constant practice.

If not for the day and night pain over the past two years, Su Yue might have collapsed at the 23rd energy node.

...

26 energy nodes.

Success!

A warm current surged in his body, Su Yue succeeded again.

The next wave of pain came seamlessly.

The spiritual qi while unlocking the nodes didn't give even the slightest respite.

Keep persevering!

Su Yue, in a daze, had long forgotten the time, unaware that he had been sitting there all night!

...

"Much stronger than we anticipated, truly deserving of being the ruthless person who devoured 100 lemons."

Five elders studied Su Yue, exchanging glances, growing increasingly astonished.

"Indeed."

"Whether it's Su Qingfeng, Mu Jingliang, or Wang Yetao, none displayed such composure when unlocking the nodes as this young lad."

White Chess Piece stroked his beard, his face full of surprise.

At midnight, Su Yue had let out a few screams.

Yet, as he reached the most difficult point, at this stage of torment, it's no longer something human willpower can resist.

But Su Yue was still persevering.

Moreover, his expression was even more composed, no longer letting out strange cries. The blood at the corner of his mouth probably came from biting his gums.

Indeed!

This blockhead seemed to have adapted to such pain.

"The ruthless person capable of completing three bone-washes does things in a savage style.

"I truly admire him."

Black Chess Piece also shook his head.

The matter of Su Yue's extraordinary bone structure couldn't be hidden from these elders.

Yet, even amidst such painful torment, Su Yue maintained his hidden state, earning the admiration of several elders.

They understood that suppressing the extraordinary bone structure required constant operation of combat techniques.

Since you have to run combat techniques, you must waste spiritual power.

At this stage, who still has spiritual power to waste?

But Su Yue accomplished it forcefully.

Stubborn.

...

The... 27th energy node.

Su Yue continued to persevere.

His limit hadn't been broken yet.

"Do you think this lad Su Yue might reach a grand slam?"

Da She Wan suddenly spoke, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"You're overthinking it.

"The hardest part of unlocking nodes is these last few nodes.

"Swallowing a bun on an empty stomach, anyone can do it. But when your belly's about to burst, can you still force down that bun?"

The big girl shook her head, not denying Su Yue, though.

It's a fact.

"Not necessarily, what if there's a miracle!"

Da She Wan muttered.

"If a miracle happens, I'll treat him as my own grandson henceforth."

The big girl pouted.

"If he truly unlocks the nodes to a grand slam, he would have lived up to your Miao Family's stone slab."

Black Chess Piece's expression was serious.

"I hope he succeeds."

White Chess Piece also offered blessings.

Meanwhile, behind Su Yue, the azure dragon phenomenon from the Moon Nether True Scripture had become quite clear, with even the scales and hairs visible.

Of course, some details were still lacking.

For example, the dragon's eyes.

Only by achieving a grand slam in node unlocking can the dragon's eyes come alive, adding the final touch to the dragon.

The dim room flickered mysteriously under the illumination of the phenomenon behind Su Yue.

...

West Martial!

The freshmen assembly had already begun.

The vice-principal gave the opening remarks, although West Martial from top to bottom disliked such formal words, they still timely offered some official blessings.

At this time, the principal hadn't arrived yet.

Likewise, Su Yue hadn't arrived.

After the vice-principal finished the script, there was another agenda:

The top scorer of the college entrance exam to share insights.

Unfortunately.

The top scorer went missing, so this agenda had to be canceled.

Then, the new head of student affairs took to the podium for remarks.

The vice-principal rushed down.

Where's Su Yue?

Where is the college entrance exam top scorer named Su Yue?

Just when school started, you dared skip such a grand meeting?

"Did you call Su Yue? He's still not answering?"

The vice-principal was anxiously jumping.

He angrily asked a responsible instructor.

Making remarks was a minor issue.

The main problem was that Su Yue was supposed to face challenges from other Wuda today, and if he fled without fighting, it would disgrace West Martial.

"No, no answer!

"We've been calling, but no one answered."

Several instructors shook their heads helplessly.

Utterly lawless.
