"Not bad, being able to withstand ten moves today shows some improvement."

Su Yue was lying on the ground, like a dead dog, unable to move.

Actually, that's not quite right.

Su Yue's eyeballs could still move; he seemed to be doubting life.

Meanwhile, Wang Boyan was standing with his hands behind his back, lightly smiling.

This was because Wang Boyan had exercised restraint; if it were a real fight, Su Yue would be a corpse now.

Just a common person yet to be rated, coming to challenge a second-grade Martial Artist — it's simply laughably ridiculous.

At first, Wang Boyan thought Sun Zhiwei was joking.

If it weren't for his good relationship with Sun Zhiwei, Wang Boyan might have thought the other party was using an ordinary person to humiliate him.

But after a few days of interacting, Wang Boyan discovered that Su Yue indeed had remarkable qualities.

Although this kid hasn't been rated yet, his Qi Blood is definitely over 27 cards, clearly aiming at Bone Refinement, and he actually barely has the strength of a first-grade Martial Artist.

Such an outstanding young fellow easily arouses jealousy.

What's even more surprising is Su Yue's grasp of combat techniques.

The speed is astonishing.

He's almost a natural-born fighter; many techniques, this kid can extrapolate — just earlier, he even attempted to ambush me with a move.

Though he spoke disdainfully, Wang Boyan also had to admit.

The Yangtze River flows continuously forward; the old wave, no matter how many forms it takes, ultimately has to accept reality — the young are formidable.

Could I have blocked Su Yue's three moves before I was rated?

Block my ass; compared to Su Yue, my youthful years were nothing but rubbish.

Comparing oneself to others is simply infuriating.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Wang. I'll go rest now."

A few minutes later, Su Yue managed to regain some strength and stood up with grit, respectfully saying.

Through battling a second-grade Martial Artist, Su Yue finally understood what ants truly represent.

When someone lands a punch, it's like an iron hammer smashing onto the chest.

Strength overcomes ten techniques.

The crucial point is these people are insanely fast.

Five days of training.

On the first day, a single punch landed him in the hospital, with no discussion.

On the second day, another single punch landed him in the hospital, leaving Su Yue feeling so defeated he wished for death.

By the third day, he barely managed to block three punches.

Today is the fifth day, and Su Yue, using all he had learned, finally withstood ten moves.

This is the terror of a second-grade Martial Artist.

Moreover, Su Yue realizes.

Bai Zhao is crowned in the B-segment, qualified to challenge the A-segment.

Indeed, he hasn't won in the A-segment, always losing.

But Bai Zhao, with first-grade power, can exhaust a second-grade Martial Artist.

Though losing, it wasn't a disgraceful defeat; he even pushed the second-grade Martial Artist to dangerous situations.

Bai Zhao's weakest defeat in the ring comes after 300 moves.

There are still 25 days.

The disparity is greater than imagined, but there's still hope for improvement.

...

Midnight.

Su Yue consumed ten bottles of recovery medicine, now practicing knife techniques on the rooftop.

Sun Zhiwei was right.

Ten thousand times is a threshold.

If ten thousand strikes still can't succeed, then it's a problem with his own abilities.

Su Yue decides, after swinging the knife ten thousand times this time, he will completely give up on the fundamental knife method.

Regardless of success or failure, he will no longer persist.

At worst, after being rated, he will train in the fundamental knife method again.

This combat method has already become a mental burden for Su Yue.

The steel blade slices through the air, yet still unable to unleash Gang Qi.

Every strike, Su Yue puts forth all his effort.

Every strike, Su Yue exhausts his heart and soul.

Swung the blade ten thousand times, each strike heart and soul invested, even if it fails, Su Yue vows to do so with a clear conscience.

Whew!

Whew!

The winter night is deep and the wind cold.

Su Yue's vest was long soaked; he entered a state of mindless knife swinging.

Though Gang Qi still couldn't be unleashed, the surface of the steel blade was quietly covered by a layer of deep red veins, like human meridians and blood vessels.

Steel blade as a form, carrying Qi Blood as a medium.

Once Su Yue succeeds, he can transform into fundamental swordsmanship, fundamental marksmanship... achieving mastery is the ultimate combat method.

From the distance, Sun Zhiwei looks on with a face of regret.

A promising martial talent.

In just three days, he's already capable of surviving 10 moves from a second-grade Martial Artist — an incredible achievement.

"Head Instructor, I didn't foresee Su Yue accepting Bai Zhao's challenge; really, I'm sorry."

Beside him stood Dai Yuegui with a dark face.

Today, Dai Yuegui came to inspect the defensive system's training progress.

Liao Ping reached 23 cards, an impressive result.

The others also broke through to 14 cards; they're about to reach Wuda's admission standard, and Dai Yuegui is pleased.

Historically, the defensive system was certainly a dropout hotspot.

Looks like this time, the students are trying their best.

Later, from Sun Zhiwei's eyes, Dai determined something was up, and after inquiry, he learned about the situation between Su Yue and Bai Zhao.

He reprimanded Sun Zhiwei initially, but then Dai Yuegui had no choice but to accept it.

28 cards, Su Yue's results have exceeded Dai's expectations greatly, with hope for Bone Refinement.

But battling the King of Fighting is sheer suicide.

Yet after secretly observing Su Yue, Dai Yuegui also chose to support him.

This battle is Su Yue's first real life-and-death clash; if disrupted externally, it would leave a psychological knot for Su Yue, critically affecting his martial disposition in the future.

Martial Artists aren't afraid.

Not every fight comes perfectly equipped; Martial Artists should face danger with their chest.

"Train at all costs, and if the funds are insufficient, take money from my account."

Leaving this statement, Dai Yuegui departed without delay.

Having chosen to trust Su Yue, there's no need to stay and add trouble.

Three days later.

Su Yue can already withstand over 30 moves, at least no longer being beaten like a dead dog.

During this time, Su Yue's greatest realization is static dodging.

There's no video footage of the A-segment ring, and second-grade Martial Artists generally prohibit filming, so analyzing Bai Zhao directly isn't possible.

But Wang Boyan has seen Bai Zhao fight in person; he believes Su Yue's only chance is improving his dodging skills.

Bai Zhao's power is immense, speed extremely fast, and reflexes sharp — almost equivalent to a second-grade Martial Artist.

Especially that elusive Tongue Sword, even second-grade Martial Artists find it hard to defend against.

Bai Zhao's continuous losses are merely because of the absolute suppression of status.

Wang Boyan also admits Bai Zhao is definitely the king of the first-grade realm.

The only chance for Su Yue is to dodge faster than Bai Zhao.

Midnight.

Su Yue opens the system.

The last time he increased his Qi Blood value; the disability period has passed, and now he will continue to increase Qi Blood value.

Being disabled matters not.

If the legs get disabled, train upper body dodging.

As for hands?

Simply no opportunity to use them.

During this period of hard practice, reward points increased almost by 100 per day — remarkably effective.

Especially in recent days, the more punches Su Yue can withstand, the more reward points.

This reinforces Su Yue's conviction that Qi Blood value should be exchanged sooner.

Every extra card of Qi Blood lets him take another punch.

Exchange.

A warm current flows through his body, Su Yue is steaming, looking as if he's in a sauna on a cold day.

"Huh, still the right hand disabled. Could it be that the system knows I'm facing mortal danger, so it doesn't make it difficult for me?"

Su Yue took stock.

Very pleased.

Exactly like last week, his right hand is disabled.

Last time, it was limp and languid, powerless disability.

This time, it's rigid disability.

But the area is only the right hand.

Su Yue let out a long breath; he originally worried his legs would become disabled, if so, training would focus on the upper body primarily, greatly affecting progress.

Now, everyone is pleased.

Continues swinging the knife.
