A desolate mountain at the border of the Divine Land.

Due to its location at the border, this province's security is relatively disorderly. Many fugitives who have committed crimes often escape here, attempting to cross the border line and flee the country.

Students like Liao Ji and Gong Ling from the attack department followed the local Investigation and Arrest Bureau into the jungle every day to catch fugitives.

It was truly a life of eating in the wind and sleeping under the stars, with extremely harsh conditions.

Deep in the mountains, the ground was filled with swamps, every step was full of danger, and ferocious beasts and mosquitoes appeared endlessly.

Not to mention these students who hadn't even sealed their ranks, even martial artists of the first and second grade were at their wits' end.

In two months, Liao Ji and the others lived in the deep mountains.

They had slain tigers with their own hands, been bitten unconscious by mosquitoes, and one student even became a hostage to a fugitive, barely escaping with their life.

A step in the deep forest was equivalent to running ten steps in the city, greatly demanding physical strength.

Thus, Liao Ji and their training results were gratifying.

...

Investigation and Arrest Bureau Dormitory.

Liao Ji and the others returned from their mission, and he finally took a hot shower.

This was also the last mission.

Tonight, they would return to the base overnight, marking the end of the first cycle of training after two months.

Gong Ling looked at herself in the mirror, her face full of tears.

In these two months, she didn't just feel like not being a girl; she felt she wasn't even human, more like a beast.

But she didn't regret the hardships she endured in these two months.

When she started in the potential class, her Qi Blood value was 12 cards.

And now, she has tested with a score of 15 cards, directly reaching the admission line for a Category B Martial Arts University.

Although she started late and found improvement relatively easier, an increase of 3 card Qi Blood in two months was already an extraordinary achievement, and seniors from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau constantly praised her.

Gong Ling had a small secret in her heart, feeling inferior and afraid to tell outsiders.

She actually also wanted to apply for the Big Four.

Unfortunately, the 12-card result in the joint entrance exam was almost a death sentence.

According to past conventions, at least 14 cards in the joint entrance exam were needed to have hope for the Big Four Martial Arts Academies.

But now, she had gained some confidence.

As long as she worked hard, she could definitely create a miracle.

Of course, what was more shocking this time was not Gong Ling, but Liao Ji.

This guy always charged at the forefront of the pursuit, several times falling into crises, nearly being killed by fugitives.

But in such desperate fights, Liao Ji's Qi Blood value had astonishingly reached a terrifying 19 cards.

Yes.

Just like Su Yue two months ago, directly reaching the admission line for the Big Four.

Everyone from the attack department envied him.

But they felt more admiration in their hearts. Liao Ji managed to fight his way to a 3-card score in two months, truly risking his life.

Even children from wealthy families worked so hard, making others even more embarrassed to slack off, so the cultivation atmosphere of the attack department was very good.

Gong Ling admired Liao Ji tremendously.

Even though both improved by 3 cards, Liao Ji's difficulty was ten times higher than hers, completely on a different level.

Moreover, Liao Ji also mastered exquisite combat techniques.

No wonder he was the vice class monitor, no wonder he was a role model.

On the way back, Liao Ji looked out the window and sighed.

After 60 days of hard training, returning to the base, it's time to make a name for himself.

Just in time to justifiably reclaim the class monitor position.

19-card Qi Blood, proficient in Gang Qi Blade, brave and skilled in battle, capturing 12 fugitives, with such glorious achievements, who can match?

Who can match?

Su Yue, Liao Ping, the two great mountains pressing down on me, it's time for you to be removed.

You went to train defense, what improvement can you achieve?

Turtle shell?

Can it withstand my Gang Qi Blade?

Su Yue, no matter how excellent you are, raising your Qi Blood by 1 card is already your limit.

Although I have 19 cards, dealing with a 20-card person without combat techniques is a cinch.

Even if it's 21 cards, why would I fear?

I caught 10 fugitive first graders, am I proud?

Yes, I am indeed proud.

But I should be proud.

This is strength, invincible strength, genuine and real.

Who else but me deserves the position of class monitor?

"Liao Ji, will you bully Su Yue when we return to the base?"

On the bus, Gong Ling cautiously asked.

She had seen Liao Ji's skills firsthand and knew Liao Ji's obsession with the class monitor position, so she worriedly asked.

Currently, Su Yue is definitely not Liao Ji's opponent.

"Sigh, as classmates, I don't want to embarrass him either. If Su Yue behaves sensibly, I can spare him once.

As a class monitor, I should naturally be magnanimous."

Liao Ji gripped his thermos cup, exuding charisma.

"Then I will persuade Su Yue, make sure not to injure him; your attacks are always all-out."

Gong Ling reminded again.

"I'm not a brute. If he refuses to behave, I'll only punish him slightly."

Liao Ji nodded calmly.

"Then I thank you on behalf of Su Yue."

Gong Ling nodded.

"Su Yue, Su Yue.

Born at the wrong time, why did you have to face such a terrifying competitor like me?

I even feel sorry for you."

Gazing out the window, Liao Ji was eager to return.

...

At the same time, Su Yue was also on the bus.

Being the class monitor, he could get some internal information.

The main purpose of this return to the base was to rest for a week.

A martial artist's nerves can't always be tense; they must occasionally rest for a period.

He always pondered a question, his current Qi Blood value was 22 cards, but there were over 800 system diligence points.

Should he exchange 1 card of Qi Blood?

He knew well that the higher the Qi Blood, the harder it was to cultivate, but there was a week of body disability time, and his training schedule was packed, leaving no opportunity to exchange.

Moreover, after resting, he would step onto the B9 ring.

Being able to increase 1 card of Qi Blood could also increase his odds of winning.

Su Yue couldn't give up this training opportunity; on the ring, he never had the chance to showcase his speed. Even against Bai Zhao, he had a chance to escape.

Besides, the system clearly discourages hoarding diligence points.

"Forget it, when will there ever be an end? Enjoy the present, let's improve first."

Activating the system, he unlocked the price of love.

A stream of warmth coursed through his body, and Su Yue immediately felt an extra surge of power.

...

Available Diligence Points: 503

Diligence Counter:

1: Sleep Immunity

2: Price of Love (next use, costs 400 diligence points)

3: Save Your Life

4: Distinction Between Man and Ghost

Qi Blood Value: 23 Cards

...

Exhale!

Su Yue slowly breathed out a murky air.

The initially over 800 diligence points were instantly halved, causing a liver ache from the pain.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the ring, he could soon break through to 24 cards.

With over 500 remaining points, he could still exchange for 1 card.

Not far from the first small goal of 30 cards.

Hmm.

Both arms can move; both legs can move.

Where's the disability this time?

Su Yue checked the disabled limb, turns out it was the right hand?

This time it was indeed a pleasant surprise; while having a disabled right hand was inconvenient, it was far better than having a whole arm wasted.

Moreover, Su Yue practiced the Left Hand Knife, so the right hand wasn't of much importance.

As for the Vigorous Fist, a basic combat technique, Su Yue could wrap a cloth strip around his fingertip and even compress it into the One Yang Finger.

Expertly done, with no difficulty.

Su Yue was already used to the ring's life, always having a cloth strip on his hand.

The cloth strip served the role of gloves, a vessel for carrying Qi Blood, and it felt uncomfortable not being wrapped after getting used to it.

"What is the medium for Bai Zhao's tongue sword?

Is it saliva? Or dentures?"

Su Yue suddenly thought of Bai Zhao. The secret of the medium for his tongue sword was also a focal point of discussion among fighters.
