Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

"Alas, brother-in-law, oh brother-in-law, you actually abandoned your brother-in-law.

"It seems that now, only I, Yang Lezhi, will have to wander the world alone."

Yang Lezhi sighed with melancholy.

"Huh, something’s not right. I’ve been so focused on training the sand demon technique these days, have I been neglecting Xu Baiyan?"

While fantasizing about his success and fame, Yang Lezhi suddenly thought of his girlfriend.

Damn it.

He made the same mistake every man makes.

In pursuit of his career, he subconsciously ignored the care and affection his girlfriend needed.

This is simply putting the cart before the horse.

The reason I, Yang Lezhi, want to become strong is to take good care of Xu Baiyan.

Yet I ended up neglecting her.

A mistake, a colossal mistake.

Yang Lezhi hurriedly dialed Xu Baiyan’s number to ask her to watch a movie together.

Training is important, but a girlfriend is even more important.

On the phone, Xu Baiyan’s voice was still consistently cold.

She wasn’t available during the day, so they arranged to meet in the evening.

After hanging up, Yang Lezhi frowned deeply.

He didn’t know why, but Yang Lezhi had a feeling there was something off about Xu Baiyan’s tone.

But he couldn’t pinpoint why.

Maybe it’s fatigue from training?

I should buy her a gift. Maybe a lipstick set, girls love that sort of thing.

Yang Lezhi opened his personal account.

He discovered something utterly despairing.

Balance: 3.15.

Yes.

Yang Lezhi’s credits were zeroed, and he only had a little over three units of currency left on him.

Not even enough to buy two meat buns.

What kind of gift can I buy like this!

Guess I’ll have to take a loan.

Yang Lezhi let out a long sigh.

To think I am the president of the North Martial student council, handsome and charming, destined to master unrivalled combat techniques, to conquer East Martial and West Martial effortlessly, to punch Meng Yang, and to kick Bai Xiaolong.

But now, even a hero is brought down when he lacks a single penny.

Just to buy a gift for my girlfriend, I’ve been reduced to the point of needing a loan.

The taste of poverty, it’s not a pleasant one.

Yang Lezhi became even more determined to descend into the wet realm.

...

In the evening, Yang Lezhi found Xu Baiyan and handed her the gift.

"Thank you!"

Xu Baiyan didn’t look well, and she seemed to have lost a significant amount of weight.

Holding the gift, her mouth twitched slightly.

"Xu Baiyan, is something troubling you? You don’t look very well!"

Yang Lezhi observed Xu Baiyan.

She truly seemed emaciated, and the expression in Xu Baiyan’s eyes was particularly weary.

"It’s nothing, I’ve just been overtraining!"

Xu Baiyan shook her head.

"Don’t push yourself too hard. You have me for everything!"

Yang Lezhi took the opportunity to hold Xu Baiyan’s hand.

"It’s nothing. Didn’t we plan to watch a movie? Let’s go!"

Xu Baiyan held Yang Lezhi’s hand.

She held it tightly.

The movie wasn’t particularly exciting, in fact, it was a bit boring.

There weren’t many people in the cinema, Xu Baiyan clung to Yang Lezhi’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder, and stayed that way.

Yang Lezhi felt incredibly happy.

When the movie ended, Xu Baiyan suddenly kissed Yang Lezhi on the cheek.

Afterwards, the two continued to wander around the night market.

Xu Baiyan took many selfies of the two of them together on her phone, and Yang Lezhi laughed like a fool.

"Let’s go back to school, I’m a bit sleepy."

Xu Baiyan suddenly said.

"Okay, go back early to rest, you do look a bit worn out!"

Yang Lezhi nodded.

Then, just like on any ordinary night, the two parted ways and returned to their dorms.

Yang Lezhi lay on his bed, too excited to fall asleep.

Being with Xu Baiyan made him so happy he was going crazy.

Yang Lezhi was certain that Xu Baiyan was a gift from heaven.

He opened the selfies in his hand and fell asleep while looking at them.

Meanwhile.

Xu Baiyan tidied up her belongings in the dormitory simply.

Then she edited a breakup message, scheduled to be sent in the morning, and placed all her communication devices on the desk.

She wouldn’t need them anymore in this lifetime.

"Goodbye, Dad!"

"Goodbye, Yang Lezhi!"

"Goodbye, brother!"

"Goodbye, North Martial!"

"No, it’s a farewell forever."

Xu Baiyan gave one last longing look at her room, then resolutely turned and left.

At night, North Martial wasn’t entirely quiet.

Some very diligent students were still madly training under the cover of darkness.

Everyone was training like crazy, striving to climb higher.

This is one of the four great martial academies.

The students here were excellent, and everyone would attribute it to luck and talent.

But people often overlooked the hard work here, compared to other martial academies, the students here were almost all fighting for their lives.

Hard work itself is a kind of talent.

"Senior, still training so late?"

A North Martial student greeted with a smile.

"Yeah, couldn’t sleep, just taking a walk!"

Xu Baiyan nodded.

"Senior, I really envy you and Senior Brother Yang Lezhi. Wishing you happiness!"

The student nodded and continued running to train his combat technique.

"Yeah, I wish him happiness too!"

The student had long left, and Xu Baiyan smiled bitterly.

Then, she turned back to look at Yang Lezhi’s dormitory.

That pighead must be asleep by now.

"Without me to bully you, you’ll surely find a better girlfriend."

Xu Baiyan exhaled deeply.

Swish!

Then she left North Martial, rushing with all her might towards the milk tea shop.

Jing Niao City!

Cang Ji!

I want to see what exactly you want to use me for.

After bullying me for so long, did you really think Xu Baiyan was made of clay?

The milk tea shop was still open.

Or rather, it had always been waiting for Xu Baiyan’s arrival.

"Princess, you’ve finally arrived. I was worried you would harm Yang Lezhi!"

The server smiled politely.

"Let’s go!"

Xu Baiyan didn’t say much.

"Okay!"

Then the server made a phone call, and a few minutes later, a car arrived.

Xu Baiyan got in the car.

They arrived at a desolate mountain.

"Going to the wet realm, not using the Wet Ghost Tower?"

After getting off the car, Xu Baiyan asked coldly.

This desolate mountain was far from the city, in an expanse of darkness, not even a star visible in the sky.

"The Wet Ghost Tower is guarded by the Military Department, it would be difficult for you to blend in with your identity.

"The Divine Elder specially bestowed a secret treasure, capable of breaking through the barrier for a few seconds."

A Fifth-Grade Martial Artist got out of the car, and their body began transforming into a member of the Yangxiang Race.

He was the commander sent to escort Xu Baiyan back to Jing Niao City.

"Is this person useful?"

Xu Baiyan pointed at the milk tea shop server.

"No!"

The Yangxiang Race commander shook his head.

Crack!

Xu Baiyan snapped the server’s neck.

Decisive and without hesitation.

The server’s pupils reflected deep shock in their final moments.

He never anticipated Xu Baiyan would kill him.

He originally intended to make a meritorious contribution.

...

Sorry, I only wrote half last night and fell asleep on the desk!

Apologies
