Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System-Chapter 553 - 208: Slaughter the Grandmaster Chain
a.m.
The sky was still dark, and the world had grown quiet. Even the streetlights seemed languid and listless.
Whether it was martial artists, regular people, or even different races.
Whether it was night owls or early risers.
Even the internet café regulars had to take a forced nap.
This was the time when everyone was in their deepest sleep.
For those staying up late, 4 a.m. was also when they were the sleepiest.
Even the most seasoned night owls would feel like their cultivation ended around 4 a.m. and would force themselves into sleep.
That’s right.
Life is precious; challenges of sudden death offer no second chances for rebirth.
"Ancestor, are you really not sleepy?"
However.
On the bench opposite the Research Institute, Su Yue’s eyes were spinning, twinkling with brilliance.
Bao Dachang looked at the time with a face full of frustration.
4:12 a.m.
His eyelids were already at odds with each other.
Though a fifth-grade martial artist could cultivate and sleep for a shorter duration.
But even the shortest nap was necessary.
Even on the Wet Realm Battlefield, martial artists would lean against a tree, taking a light nap.
But facing this ancestor Su Yue, Bao Dachang had zero chances.
He was afraid that if he wasn’t careful, this ancestor would run off.
Is he really not sleepy?
Throughout the whole night.
Su Yue occasionally got up to move around, then sat back to circulate his Qi for a while.
After a while, maybe finding Qi circulation boring, he jumped up and strolled around, even triggering several sound-activated lights.
The Jiangwu Guard Team came over but was helpless.
The current Su Yue, topping the radar scale, was the Prince of Jiangyuan Country; whatever he did was justified.
Let alone cultivation in the middle of the night.
Those guards even took the opportunity to flatter him, saying how diligent the Prince was, truly deserving of the top position.
But Bao Dachang was about to go crazy.
Take it easy.
"Brother Bao, go back and sleep, I really haven’t planned on running.
"If I intended to escape, you wouldn’t catch me anyway."
Su Yue sighed.
Bao Dachang was pitiable, yawning all night, with tears coming out.
But the critical thing was, he wasn’t planning to run at all.
Why waste such manpower and resources?
"Su Yue, you traveled from the Divine Land to Jiangyuan Country, exhausted from the journey, and tested the scale during the day. It’s impossible for you not to be tired.
"Go back to the dormitory.
"Staying outside for too long, it’s easy to catch a cold."
Bao Dachang yawned again.
He didn’t believe it.
Even if you, Su Yue, were a superhuman, you couldn’t possibly not be tired.
"Brother Bao, do you know why I can suppress the Qi ring to the third grade?
"I’ve never liked sleeping since I was a child. Staying up all night is as natural as eating and drinking, so I sleep less in the Wet Realm and have more time for cultivation.
"Competing with me in cultivation really holds no substantive meaning."
Su Yue shook his head.
He had no idea how to explain such things.
Su Yue stood up, looking like he was taking a stroll, then walked to the entrance of the Research Institute.
Several guards were also drowsy.
But facing Su Yue, they weren’t overly vigilant.
Firstly, even a grandmaster couldn’t break through the Research Institute’s gates.
Secondly, being a prince, Su Yue only needed a pass to enter, and no one could interfere with his wandering at the entrance.
Moreover, Su Yue was merely ambling around, without crossing any lines.
"Su Yue, don’t think I don’t know you’re thinking of escaping.
"I know you’re trying to bluff me; you’re dreaming.
"I’ll stay awake with you till death; let’s see who gives in first."
Bao Dachang’s eyes were bloodshot.
Little guy.
I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice, playing mind games with me here.
You’re just a kid.
Holding on.
Mental battles are all about persistence.
Let’s see who loses first.
"This fellow is a bit stubborn, a bit obstinate too.
"Even if I really wanted to escape, you couldn’t stop me even if I returned to the dorm."
Su Yue gave a bitter smile.
Truly, persistent people are the scariest.
Time to get to serious business.
Su Yue couldn’t be bothered dealing with Bao Dachang any further. If you want to cultivate, go ahead.
After a night of lingering around with Bao Dachang, strategizing and counter-strategizing, the guards at the Research Institute’s entrance clearly got used to it. Even the fifth-grade Guard Commander came to help Bao Dachang persuade him.
Thus, Su Yue’s plan succeeded.
He sat cross-legged behind another wall of the Research Institute, staring straight at the wall.
No one bothered.
No one questioned.
Su Yue looked like a rebellious teenager sulking, the guards even felt a bit amused.
This was Su Yue’s whole night-long purpose.
To make everyone lower their guard.
If you abruptly rush over and stare at someone’s wall persistently, it would definitely make others suspicious.
Besides the mentally unsound or scheming individuals, no one stares blankly at someone’s wall, especially if you’re a foreigner; it’s abnormal just thinking about it.
But now.
Su Yue had crafted himself a rebellious teenager character.
Everything made sense now.
We all had moments growing up where we sulked at the wall, ignoring family—it’s quite normal.
...
Available diligence points: 51295
1: Sleep Immunity
2: Price of Love (next use, consumes 4100 diligence points)
3: Saving Your Life
4: Distinction Between Humans and Ghosts
5: Stealth Invisibility
6: Blindness and Deafness
Qi Blood value: 1041
...
Although there hasn’t been any dedicated cultivation these days, due to the residual effects of some premium Tangzhu Pill in his body, the Qi ring passively increased some Qi Blood value.
It’s not much but better than nothing.
Su Yue only had a bit more than fifty thousand diligence points and hadn’t used the system recently to increase the Qi Blood value.
