Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

"Huh? You can do that?"

While Qin Su was still in a daze, she felt a surge of heat enter her body.

Even though nothing in my body has changed, I still feel a strange sense of comfort.

After a while, Qin Su stood up and threw another heavy punch at the force measuring machine.

boom!

[Strength: 5,698 kilograms! Beginner Samurai level!]

It truly is a case of reaping a hundredfold reward for one's efforts; the five kilograms of strength he gained through cultivation actually turned into five hundred kilograms!

Qin Su was overjoyed.

His face beamed with joy, especially after discovering that the hidden mission seemed to be a long-term one.

This means that as long as he persists in his practice every day, he can reap a hundredfold reward.

This is so awesome!

"Beep beep beep..."

Just then, Qin Su's phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was a call from his classmate at school.

It was a bit unexpected.

His injury was due to a preliminary assessment organized by the school for students from other cities. The students were paired up and worked together, and he was paired with his deskmate.

Unexpectedly, a second-tier source beast, equivalent to a high-level warrior, unexpectedly appeared in what was originally a very safe outer city area.

He and his classmate were only beginner martial arts apprentices at the time. Although they called for help immediately, they were both severely injured.

Since that day when they both went home to recover from their injuries, they have not had any contact with each other.

"Feed?"

Qin Su answered the phone.

"Qin Su, are you alright? I went back to school today and heard from them that you injured your foundation and gave up martial arts?" Lin Ce, the classmate, asked with concern on the other end of the phone.

Qin Su asked in surprise, "Your injury has healed?"

He was able to recover so quickly because of the system. Even if Lin Ce was less injured than him, he should have needed a month to recover, right?

Lin Ce said, "As long as you work hard enough, even if it's painful, if you persist in rehabilitation every day and maintain scientific rehabilitation treatment, miracles will naturally happen."

Then, he continued, "Qin Su, you shouldn't be like this. We made a promise to get into the National Martial Arts University together, have you forgotten?"

"Uh, I haven't forgotten."

"Then pull yourself together! This little injury won't break you! A man shouldn't just live a life of mediocrity and despair! What's the point of living a life of aimless drifting and inaction if you don't make something of yourself?"

Lin Ce passionately declared, "Although we're temporarily stuck in a quagmire, youth means limitless possibilities! As long as we persevere and work hard, we'll definitely reach the future we desire!"

"Qin Su, do you know how much my strength has increased since I was injured? It'll scare you to death!"

In the past, Qin Su was full of energy and no less than others. Now, Lin Ce is also using his own improvement to motivate Qin Su.

Qin Su scratched his head: "Two thousand kilograms of force?"

Previously, Lin Ce was only slightly weaker than him, but seeing how confident he is now, he has probably crossed the threshold of 2,000 kilograms.

"wrong!"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Ce said proudly:

"That's 2,332 kilograms of force!"

"This injury, ironically, turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it increased my strength by several hundred kilograms!"

"Wow, that's amazing..." Qin Su glanced at the 5,698 kilograms displayed on the force measuring machine screen not far away and gave a perfunctory "hmm".

"In short, Qin Su, you must catch up with me. In my eyes, you're the only one in the entire No. 1 High School who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me!"

Lin Ce said, "I have to go train now. I haven't run the 100,000 meters yet. Qin Su, you need to work hard too! Go go go!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Su rubbed her temples.

His deskmate was as passionate, as immature, and as fussy as ever.

Running 100,000 meters all the time is terrifying.

Even through the phone, he could almost see his classmate's determined face under the sun, sweating profusely.

【Ding! 】

A crisp sound rang in her mind, and Qin Su raised an eyebrow. The system had sent another mission. What kind of mission was it this time? And what was the reward?

With a hint of anticipation, he opened the system panel.

Martial arts training cannot be done in isolation; besides diligent practice, it also requires guidance from strong individuals.

[Mission issued: Please have a friendly spar with martial artist Zhang Xiaohu and survive three rounds against him.]

[Task Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (Although the host's strength has recovered somewhat, it is still not up to par. Zhang Xiaohu, as a beginner martial arts apprentice, could defeat a hundred hosts with a single finger. Even in a friendly sparring match, even if Zhang Xiaohu unleashed a torrent of attacks, the host would find it difficult to last three rounds against him.)]

[Task Reward: Talent - Become Stronger with Every Breath (Those who possess this talent can automatically become stronger and improve as long as they are breathing, without needing to cultivate.)]

[Please note: This task has a one-month time limit. After one month, the task rewards will no longer be paid. Please make the most of this time.]

Holy crap?

System, are you finally giving up on the act?

They're even offering up talents that make you stronger just by breathing as mission rewards?

Qin Su was completely bewildered.

A talent that automatically makes you stronger just by breathing, coupled with hidden quest rewards that yield a hundredfold return for every bit of effort—isn't this amazing?

Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Moreover, to obtain it, all you need to do is spar with a beginner martial arts apprentice.

Qin Su's expression was strange.

The Martial Apprentice level is the first and most basic level of martial arts. At the beginner level, the strength is at most one thousand kilograms.

Now, he's a ruthless man with a punch that can weigh over 5,000 kilograms. One slap from him could turn a beginner martial arts apprentice into mincemeat.

"Zhang Xiaohu... that name sounds familiar. Isn't he my junior brother at the Tianhe Martial Arts School?"

"That's right, I gave him some pointers before. Back then, his strength was still mediocre, and he didn't even have a strength of 1,000 kilograms. Now he's already at the beginner martial arts apprentice level..."

"It's been a long time since I've been to the martial arts gym, so let's go tomorrow."

The next day.

Three poles in the sun.

Qin Su woke up with a yawn.

In this world, everyone is striving to cross over. Most martial artists spend all their free time cultivating, and at night they replace sleep with meditation and breathing exercises.

Since her injury, Qin Su has lost this habit. She plays until she's had enough every night before going to sleep, and doesn't get up until the sun is high in the sky the next morning. It's even common for her to sleep until the afternoon.

"Hmm, an eighteen-year-old's body is so full of life..."

After getting up, Qin Su stretched and felt her youthful vigor, a blissful smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

After breakfast, he walked towards the martial arts school.

As a public martial arts academy in Tianhe Base City, Tianhe Martial Arts Academy boasts the best martial arts resources, the most outstanding coaches, and the most promising martial arts talents. Located in the prime central urban area, it covers an area of ​​300 acres and features a massive main building that is 700 meters high, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of students to practice martial arts simultaneously. It is one of the landmarks of Tianhe Base City.

Basically, the students who train at Tianhe Martial Arts School are all those who want to take their martial arts further.

Many students at Qin Su's school are students of Tianhe Martial Arts School. They come to the school after school every day to receive extracurricular instruction.

As Qin Su approached the gate of the martial arts training ground, he heard the students inside making a fuss.

"One hundred thousand eight hundred!"

"One hundred and eight hundred and one!"

"One hundred and eight hundred and two!"

"Little Tiger, hang in there! Just three hundred more squats, and he won't be able to go on!"

What's going on?

Qin Su walked in curiously.
