Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

"Then let’s call you Princess Baiyan, no more changes."

Cang Ji shook his head.

In hindsight, he should not have been superfluous; he just wanted to give Xu Baiyan a sense of familiarity.

"I heard you took Lin Dongqi’s heart to break through to the peak... can you really break through?"

Before Cang Ji left, Xu Baiyan suddenly asked.

She was still concerned whether the beast Cang Ji would defy the heavens.

"Haha, it seems you still care about me in your heart."

Cang Ji shamelessly laughed.

"Daughter, use all your strength to punch me.

"Don’t worry, I won’t fight back or injure you, I won’t even use Qi Blood."

Then, Cang Ji said.

Boom!

Xu Baiyan was not polite at all.

A punch swept out with tremendous force, its light heading straight for Cang Ji’s face.

Faced with such a ridiculous request, Xu Baiyan even exerted 120% of her strength.

Not using Qi Blood?

Even if you’re Ninth Grade, I’ll punch a panda eye on you.

If you dare to use Qi Blood, I’ll shame you to your grandmother’s house.

However, Cang Ji stood with his hands behind his back, without the slightest ripple of Qi Blood, as if he were an ordinary member of the Yangxiang Race, his face remained completely calm, as if watching a child at play.

Rumble!

Finally, Xu Baiyan’s fist landed on Cang Ji’s face.

The force swirled around, echoing resounding.

Even the walls of the secret room had stones falling from them, the power of Xu Baiyan’s punch was unimaginable.

However.

Cang Ji was unharmed.

Xu Baiyan felt as if she had struck a steel plate, her fist aching from the rebound, Cang Ji’s face not even slightly disturbed.

"How is this possible!"

Xu Baiyan was bounced back, then crouched on the ground.

Incredible.

Cang Ji didn’t exhibit any use of Qi Blood, this Xu Baiyan could confirm.

The Qi Blood value of a Ninth-Grade is strong, this Xu Baiyan admitted.

But even if you’re Ninth-Grade, you still need to use Qi Blood to withstand an attack; although Xu Baiyan had never fought a Ninth-Grade, she had seen many Ninth-Grades fight.

Whether facing someone of lower rank or higher.

A Ninth-Grade Martial Artist could not possibly rely on pure physical strength to defend.

Mu Jingliang had mentioned this issue when lecturing at Beowu.

Even a Ninth-Grade cannot deflect someone else’s punch without using Qi Blood.

Though it might not be fatal, it would still cause injury, even if it were minor or superficial.

Qi Blood is the foundation of a Martial Artist.

But there was truly no Qi Blood ripple on Cang Ji’s body.

"I haven’t truly broken through to the peak, you could say I’m halfway there.

"The power of the peak no longer confines itself to Qi Blood, but becomes an absolute law, my daughter, you’re still young, when you’re Ninth-Grade, you’ll understand as well.

"You only need to know one thing, the peak and the martial artists who cultivate Qi Blood are no longer at the same level.

"How to describe it to you... You can think of Martial Artists and the peak as water and ice.

"Martial Artists are water, while the peak is ice.

"Ice is another form of water, as hard as steel, but it can also melt into water.

"And water is merely water.

"For water to solidify into ice is a qualitative change, which is why 99% of Ninth-Grades don’t have this opportunity."

Cang Ji patiently explained to Xu Baiyan.

Xu Baiyan’s face turned pale.

Damn it!

It seems Cang Ji might really break through to the peak, this is dreadful news.

The future of the Divine Land may be unsettled.

"As the only daughter of the peak, you will surely understand your noble status in the future.

"The mere identity of a Divine Land Martial Artist doesn’t befit you!

"Hahaha, daughter, train well!"

With those words, Cang Ji’s figure had already disappeared.

In the empty secret room, Xu Baiyan sat there, unable to return to her senses for a long time.

The peak.

What kind of existence is it?

Where is Yuan Xingzi?

If Yuan Xingzi fails or something unexpected happens, then by activating the living shell, it would be aiding the enemy, the eternal sinner of the Divine Land.

In this world, only Yuan Xingzi can modify the positions of the targeting array.

The thought of an entire city’s life was despairing.

"Yuan Xingzi, you better not mess up."

Xu Baiyan looked at the mottled cave ceiling, feeling completely drained of strength.

Only when no one was around did Xu Baiyan reveal her vulnerability and helplessness.

Perhaps in a week, her infamy would spread throughout Beowu, throughout the Divine Land.

How laughable.

Xu Baiyan never imagined that in her life, she would leave the Divine Land as a traitor.

Yang Lezhi, I’m leaving.

I allow you to grieve for a while, be down for a while.

But please pull yourself together soon.

I, Xu Baiyan, have loved three men in my life.

One was Su Qingfeng, my father.

One was Su Yue, my brother.

They are blood relatives.

But you, Yang Lezhi, are love.

We shall never meet again.

...

Beowu.

Six days had passed since Yang Lezhi received Xu Baiyan’s breakup message.

During these six days, Yang Lezhi experienced madness, grief, heartbreak, and even hysteria.

On the first morning, Yang Lezhi went straight to Xu Baiyan’s dormitory.

Unfortunately, Xu Baiyan’s dorm was already closed; unless she returned or gave authorization, no one could open it.

Yang Lezhi knocked frantically, called incessantly, and even shouted.

But to no avail, there was no response.

Xu Baiyan simply wasn’t in the dormitory.

After that, Yang Lezhi searched frantically for Xu Baiyan, seeking her whereabouts.

He scoured all of Beowu.
