The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Su Jian could understand.

What Su Changqing said was true; he was not deceiving him.

The way of the sword, indeed there is such a path.

"But what is the price?" Su Jian asked.

"The price." Su Changqing laughed. "What price could there be? The seven emotions and six desires are the biggest obstacles to a cultivator becoming stronger."

Su Jian said firmly, "But the price is—she's drifting further and further away from people!"

Su Changqing was slightly taken aback.

He stared intently at Su Jian, who was standing in front of him.

Then she chuckled and said, "That's your opinion, but it doesn't represent Su Muyun's true thoughts."

"Perhaps one day, Su Muyun will walk this path?"

Su Jian fell silent.

And this time.

Su Changqing added, "But before that, Su Muyun needs to maintain her virginity. Only a pure yin body that has not been defiled can walk this path of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Su Jian stared in astonishment, his mouth agape, unsure of what to say.

Only then did he understand.

Why did Su Changqing ask him so many extra questions about Su Muyun?

He wasn't saying all that to Su Jian.

Instead, he asked Su Jian to convey these words to his daughter, Su Muyun.

From Su Jian's perspective

He naturally hoped that Su Muyun and Ye Xiao would be together.

But from Su Changqing's perspective...

He took into account the potential ceiling of Su Muyun's future achievements.

If we say...

Su Muyun chose to follow the path Su Changqing had suggested.

Then she and Ye Xiao need to keep their distance.

Even if it's not about drawing a clear line.

However, it is also necessary to prevent Su Muyun and Ye Xiao from having a relationship too early.

.......

Ye Xiao had fought 1000 battles.

I slept so well.

After he woke up, he felt as if he had been reborn.

"call!"

Ye Xiao opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.

I noticed that the sky outside was dark.

He glanced at the time.

Only then did I realize that he and Wang Hou had slept from morning until night.

This time.

They really did have their days and nights reversed; their time zones were all messed up.

but.

Wang Hou was still fast asleep in bed.

Judging from his appearance, he might sleep until tomorrow morning.

The time difference has actually returned to normal.

Ye Xiao after waking up.

He wasn't sleepy at all.

Lying in bed, he opened his system after achieving 1000 victories in battle.

The red dot for "Path of the Strong" reminded him that a new achievement had been made.

He couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

[One thousand victories! Combat achievement achieved! Reward: [Victorious Momentum X (Max Level)]: After each victory, you will immediately recover 15% of your full stats, and for the next 5 seconds, you will recover 2% of your full stats per second!]

Seeing this.

A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

"A day and a night of hard work, a thousand battles—it's all finally paid off!"

At this point, the rewards for [Victory's Momentum] are directly increased to the maximum level of 10!

and.

The most important point, and the one that makes Ye Xiao happiest.

That's the maxed-out [Winning Streak].

A new, additional effect has been activated!

This is a new effect that has not appeared in the previous nine levels!

"Each victory will also restore 2% of your full health every second for the next 5 seconds."

That means...

After Ye Xiao wins, he will also gain a continuous recovery effect.

This provides an additional 10% status recovery.

In other words.

The overall effect of [Victory's Momentum X] is to give Ye Xiao a boost after his victory.

A total of up to 25% full stats!

Ye Xiao was grinning from ear to ear.

Because this basically means that, when facing a powerful enemy, he can succeed by using war to sustain war!

Combined with the effects of the "turtle breathing method".

Ye Xiao will face even stronger opponents in the future.

Basically, it can be done after each battle ends.

He can replenish the energy he has depleted before the next battle begins.

However, Ye Xiao also knew one thing.

Battles in places like the "Crimson Abyss World" don't follow the conventional battle patterns of schools.

The real enemy will not give Ye Xiao any time to catch his breath or replenish his strength.

But all things considered.

Ye Xiao gained a great deal from this day of free challenges.

"Oh right, and there are points too!"

Ye Xiao looked at his bracelet, which contained all the points he had earned during the Free Challenge Day.

[Points: 2850]

At this moment, Ye Xiao was still unclear about what this number of points meant.

I can't sleep.

Ye Xiao originally planned to continue sleeping until the next morning.

But he wasn't sleepy at all, so he got up, dressed quickly, and washed up.

Ye Xiao then left the dormitory.

He planned to go to the training hall at school late at night.

This is a good opportunity to test his current physical strength.

but.

Just as Ye Xiao was walking on the deserted campus road.

He noticed a man sitting on a bench by the roadside.

As Ye Xiao approached, he was surprised to find that it was none other than Cai Shi, the homeroom teacher of his genius class!

"Teacher Cai? Why aren't you resting at this hour? Why are you sitting by the roadside scaring people?"

Cai Shi looked up, smiled, and gazed at Ye Xiao.

"Aren't you also wandering around outside in the middle of the night?"

Ye Xiao explained, "I slept all day, but now I can't sleep anymore, so I plan to go to the body-training hall to exercise."

Cai Shi pointed to Ye Xiao's bracelet.

"Your points from the Freedom Challenge Day will automatically expire if you don't redeem them in time."

Ye Xiao was startled upon hearing this.

"Huh? But where am I supposed to exchange things in the middle of the night?"

At this moment, Cai Shi stood up from the bench he was sitting on.

"Isn't this me?"

.......

Ten minutes later.

Cai Shi led Ye Xiao to the fifth floor of Tianying Building.

The fifth floor of Tianying Tower is the place with the most concentrated cultivation resources in the entire Jiang City.

This place stores the exclusive cultivation resources for the genius class—elixirs, spiritual artifacts, cultivation techniques, materials, and auxiliary items.

Students use "credits" to redeem.

Academic credits are earned through rankings, tasks, and assessment results.

The administrator of the resource repository is an elderly man with gray hair, known as "Old Man Medicine". He is the most senior alchemist in the academy, with an eccentric temper, but he is still quite polite to the students in the genius class.

The shelves are filled with a dazzling array of products, but behind every item lies a price tag—not just academic credits, but also ranking requirements.

"Master Yao! I'm sorry to trouble you so late at night."

Cai Shi spoke humbly and politely to the old man who was fast asleep behind the counter on the fifth floor.

"Hello, Elder Yao!" Ye Xiao greeted him in return.

After saying hello.

Ye Xiao looked at the old man known as "Old Medicine Master" who was lying on a recliner.

The snoring was as loud as an earthquake.

He whispered to Cai Shi, "He's sleeping so soundly, can he even hear us?"

Cai Shi smiled mysteriously.

"You don't understand. The old doctor can sleep whenever he wants and wake up whenever he wants."

Ye Xiao looked surprised upon hearing this.

"Can humans really control their sleep and wakefulness at will?"
