Two days ago, Su Yue went to the A-tier arena.
Sun Zhiwei's analysis was accurate. Although he couldn't defeat a second-tier martial artist, his dodging skills were strong, making it difficult for the opponent to kill him unless they used a trump card.
In the end, Su Yue was exhausted and defeated.
If this continues, his progress will be very slow.
Increasing the burden and continuing to squeeze his potential is the only way Su Yue wants to improve further.
The 10-pound silver needle is no longer necessary.
Su Yue took out a 30-pound needle.
Inserted into his body.
Ugh!
Truly overwhelming.
Stimulated by the acupuncture points, Su Yue was instantly carrying a 60-pound weight.
Poof!
Another one inserted!
The 120-pound load instantly made Su Yue uncomfortable all over, and he walked clumsily.
"Go to the arena. Now that I'm carrying a 120-pound load, I should lose quickly."
Putting away the silver needles, Su Yue headed towards the A-tier arena.
He could actually continue to increase the load, but it would be meaningless.
Su Yue's goal is to maneuver with a second-tier martial artist under this load, completely pinning them down without being able to stand up, not getting caught up in details.
Everything has to find a balance.
...
Arena!
Facing the legendary Guangkun, Su Yue's opponent was a bit nervous.
Though a second-tier martial artist couldn't possibly lose, being dragged too tired by a B-tier fighter was embarrassing.
However, Guangkun seemed to have a vain reputation.
In just ten moves, this B-tier king was already beaten like a dead dog.
His speed was very slow, and his moves were clumsy, completely different from the legend.
"Guangkun, turned out to be a vain reputation!"
The second-tier martial artist arrogantly left the stage.
"Did Su Yue… increase the load?"
From a distance, Wang Boyan quietly observed the previous battle.
He knew Su Yue thoroughly and knew it was impossible for his speed to be that slow.
There's only one possibility: Su Yue increased the load on himself.
"But he didn't have sandbags or any lead blocks on him, how did he do it?
"This kid, apparently has a lot of secrets, a gifted genius, no wonder.
"The younger generation is truly formidable, truly formidable!"
After Su Yue and the others left, Wang Boyan personally went to the center of the arena.
As expected.
There were several shallow footprints on the floor of the arena.
Only immense weight could cause such marks, proving that Su Yue did indeed increase the load.
...
Unknowingly, three months passed.
The number of silver needles in Su Yue's body had increased to four.
He's now carrying a 240-pound weight while fighting in the A-tier arena. Naturally, the situation was dire and unbearable.
In three months, many things happened, and one could forget many things.
Su Yue's rank on the sparring list had been replaced by Liao Ping.
And in the B-tier arena, new heroic figures had emerged, especially in the B9 arena, where the fights were even more brutal.
Without the threat of Bai Zhao and Guangkun, the number of matches in the B-tier arena exploded, as there was no longer a life-threatening risk.
The once densely packed Guangkun advertisements had been replaced by the latest popular fighters.
Guangkun had become the strongest king, almost a totemic existence.
But the commercial value had been exhausted.
...
Available diligence points: 1023
Diligence counter:
1: Sleep exemption
2: The Price of Love (next use consumes 1000 diligence points)
3: Save Your Life
4: The Divide Between Humans and Ghosts
Qi Blood value: 37 cards
...
In these three months, Su Yue lay on the hospital bed for nearly 50 days.
After all, second-tier martial artists are not a joke, and carelessness results in full-body fractures and severe injuries are inevitable.
During the hospitalization, Su Yue used the system to exchange for 2 cards of Qi Blood.
Qi Blood Pills and intense training also arduously increased his Qi Blood by 1 card.
Three months ago, it was 34 cards.
Three months later, it's 37 cards.
According to Dai Yuegui and the others' estimates, at Su Yue's current state, increasing 1 card in five months was already a miracle.
Yet under the pressure of the silver needles, Su Yue still increased by 1 card in three months.
After the system increased his Qi Blood by 2 cards, the diligence points were once depleted.
In three months, Su Yue barely recovered to over 1000 points, enough to exchange for 1 point.
There was no other way.
Sleep exemption also consumed diligence points, and accumulating them was daunting.
In fact, on the arena, the increase in diligence points was acceptable.
But unfortunately, with fists and feet being indiscriminate, Su Yue frequently ended up lying on a hospital bed, wasting a lot of time.
Yet that's the reality, and there is no solution.
Until the college entrance exam, there's a little more than two months left. Assuming Su Yue exchanges another 1 card of Qi Blood, he is still 2 cards short to reach the 40-card mark for the second bone cleansing.
Two months to increase by 2 cards.
Su Yue himself wasn't very confident.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
"For now, just stick with 37 cards. I have over 1000 diligence points left, so I still need to exchange them for sleep exemption."
"I've clearly become stronger. Why am I getting poorer?"
Su Yue sighed.
As night fell, Su Yue went to Flower Bear's food stall.
The weather was gradually warming up, bringing new vitality to the night market.
Flower Bear had been in a wheelchair for half a year and had gained quite a bit of weight. His smile now resembled that of a Maitreya Buddha, lacking his former sharpness.
Old Zhao's life was getting better and better, and it's said his daughter's grades were excellent.
"Ah, Master Su is here, welcome, welcome!"
Seeing Su Yue from afar, Flower Bear wheeled himself out.
"Enough with the chatter, give me your phone; I heard you've downloaded a lot of new movies."
Su Yue was blunt.
"Don't you have a phone? I'll transfer them to you via Bluetooth!"
Flower Bear frowned.
"No way, my phone is pure, I can't allow it to have all those inappropriate contents."
Su Yue declared as if it was only natural.
Hearing this, Flower Bear was stunned as if struck by lightning.
What kind of logic is that?
Your phone is pure, so mine should be dirty?
It's pure hypocrisy.
Three minutes later, Su Yue was holding Flower Bear's phone, hiding in a corner, eagerly watching the most primitive forms of battle.
Fast forward.
Fast forward.
Such monotonous positions, thumbs down.
Oh... there's something new.
Whoa.
So many people, an unprecedented free-for-all.
The scene was so magnificent and spectacular, the 21st century Japan was truly astonishing.
Terrifying.
This guy Flower Bear has good films but doesn't recommend them.
...
Meanwhile.
Wang Lu Feng was training intensely. Ever since Su Yue achieved the Golden Skeleton, he had been industrious and hadn't relaxed for a moment.
Of course, Wang Lu Feng was also afraid of his dad scolding him.
Someone else's kid is definitely the biggest original sin, it shouldn't exist at all.
Deep in the border mountains.
Whizz!
Liao Ji pierced through a fugitive's neck with his Tongue Sword.
Other members of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau rushed over, looking impressed.
"Liao Ji, you're the strongest existence among the high school students I've ever seen, bar none."
The martial artists from the bureau exchanged glances, the Tongue Sword was mysterious and daunting.
In the past three months, Liao Ji had been chasing fugitives like a madman, day and night, turning this desolate mountain into a black market's forbidden zone, with many fugitives too afraid to come.
Liao Ji's presence had turned this place into a Ghost Gate.
"I may be quite exceptional, but there's always someone better, I must not be arrogant!"
Liao Ji nodded impassively.
Ever since mastering the Tongue Sword, he had been walking with a certain swagger.
Of course, this time Liao Ji was truly grateful to Su Yue.
Gong Ling and Zhou Yuncan were also training furiously.
"Gong Ling, congratulations on reaching 17 cards, you can now aim for the big four."
Zhou Yuncan was delighted for Gong Ling.
Just yesterday, Gong Ling had finally tested and scored 17 cards.
She reached the admission line for A-tier Wuda.
Only 2 cards short of 19 cards.
This girl's perseverance is truly moving.
Woof!
Oyster Sauce brushed its head against Gong Ling, it seemed to be encouraging her: "Beautiful, you're amazing."
In these three months, Oyster Sauce hadn't stayed at the base, but had been following Zhou Yuncan.
"With less than two months left, can I cultivate 2 cards of Qi Blood?"
Gong Ling hung her head low, still feeling insecure and lacking confidence.
"Do your best!"
Zhou Yuncan nodded encouragingly.
"Yes, I'll strive hard. I wonder how Su Yue is doing. If only I could have Su Yue's skills, wouldn't that be great."
Gong Ling suddenly thought of Su Yue.
With her 17 cards, wanting to further advance was indescribably difficult.
And Su Yue, three months ago, had already washed his bones at 30 cards.
How high his talent must be.
"Su Yue?
"He's a monster, don't mention him, it's infuriating!"
Zhou Yuncan frowned, sighing.
His Qi Blood just reached 20 cards.
Yesterday Dai Yuegui came to find him, suggested directly sealing his potential.
Considering, with Zhou Yuncan's current achievements, there was almost no chance of washing bones.
Even if he went to Wuda, the school wouldn't support him washing bones.
But he... couldn't accept it!
