In the four major Martial Arts Academies, the practice of pressure rings was popular for some time, but in recent years, fewer students are practicing it.
Everyone gradually realizes that breaking through the ranks early is the key.
However, some top prodigies still engage in pressure rings.
Su Yue is clearly one of them.
...
"Whatâs the point of pressure rings?"
Xiang Jing Mountain muttered under his breath; he was strongly opposed to the idea of pressure rings.
"Not necessarily, if you can hold it up to the eighth rank, youâd be impressive,"
Zhao Jiangtao smiled slightly.
"Principal, you should know, itâs rare for someone to persist with pressure rings until becoming a Grandmaster.
"Once you give up, the time spent in the first five ranks is truly wasted.
"A waste of time."
Xiang Jing Mountain retorted bitterly.
As the vice principal of West Martial, he had to consider the quality of its graduates.
If everyone practiced pressure rings and graduated at the third rank, West Martial wouldnât even be able to retain the title among the four major Martial Arts Academies.
He hoped all students could graduate at the fifth rank.
Pressure rings?
What nonsense.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and when faced with desperation, theyâll give up themselves. We at West Martial donât interfere in the studentsâ training paths."
Zhao Jiangtao maintained his calm smile.
Xiang Jing Mountain was a good vice principal, devoted to the school.
But he didnât know that Su Yue had already unlocked 30 energy points.
This time, heâs aiming for 70 pressure rings.
His training speed will be much faster than the average student.
No, faster than all students.
Lightning fast.
...
Fuling Mountain.
Su Yueâs pressure rings didnât waste much time.
A few minutes later, ten people placed their palms on the stone slab simultaneously and began breaking through the acupoints.
Uh... Ah...
At the very start, a student already let out a miserable scream.
The sudden intense pain nearly broke him.
But as one of the top ten new students from West Martial, he had done some preparation and could barely hold on for now.
Although the others didnât scream, their expressions were twisted, purely relying on willpower to suppress the pain.
Su Yue closed his eyes.
This was truly the proper state for training, thanks to the uncorroded stone slab.
It hurt a lot.
But it wasnât the kind of pain that drove one to despair.
A little more painful than the platinum liquid.
For Su Yue, totally tolerable.
...
Diligence Reward +1
Diligence Reward +1
Diligence Reward +1
...
Indeed, the price for being a bit more comfortable is the insufficient increase in Diligence Rewards.
But this time the goal is to break through the acupoints, and with more than thirty thousand Diligence Rewards left, itâs not a problem for now.
Buzz!
A warm current surged through his body.
Su Yueâs Qi Blood increased by 1 calorie, and an acupoint was also unlocked.
That was fast.
Everything fell into place naturally.
Su Yue was feeling quite at ease.
This time he could even open his eyes.
Buzz!
In less than a minute, another acupoint was unlocked.
Su Yue marveled.
Thereâs no comparison; while the Moon Nether True Scripture stone slab is the same, why is the one at the nursing home so cruel?
Itâs really infuriating.
Du Jingâs Book gnashed his teeth, writhing in pain.
He glared coldly at Su Yue.
Faking it.
Youâre pretending to be at ease, letâs see how long you can keep it up.
Soon youâll lose.
Su Yueâs previously restrained pressure rings and his current composed demeanor both enraged Du Jingâs Book.
Du Jingâs Book was convinced that Su Yue was feigning it.
Ah...
Uh... Canât take it anymore...
So painful...
Others couldnât bear it and began to scream.
Those who drank the Bone-Washing Water of the Golden Elephant fared better, having experienced some pain before.
But Martial Artists who hadnât washed their bones were in agony beyond belief.
...
The 8th acupoint.
Unlocked.
The 9th acupoint.
Unlocked.
The 10th acupoint.
Unlocked.
...
After unlocking 12 acupoints, Su Yue finally felt some pressure.
But just marginally, and far from being unbearable.
He glanced at his system.
...
Available Diligence Points: 36025
1: Sleep Exemption
2: Price of Love (Next use, costs 1700 Diligence Points)
3: Save your dogâs life
4: Distinctions between humans and ghosts
5: Stealthily Invisible
Qi Blood: 112 calories
...
Unlocking 12 acupoints, his Qi Blood also increased by 12 calories.
If things go smoothly, Su Yue plans to break through to the second rank this month.
The most important part is the merits.
During the breaking through the acupoints process, Su Yue let his mind wander.
He suddenly remembered his father again.
If merits are so important in the Divine Land, if I accumulate enough merits, is there a chance... to save my father?
This question had been on Su Yueâs mind since he bought the dormitory.
Using merit to offset wrongs in the Martial Arts Era was not unheard of.
After the acupoint-breaking matter is settled, ask Mu Cheng.
Then Su Yue closed his eyes, focusing on sensing the Spiritual Qi fluctuations within the stone slab.
...
On the playground.
Everyone was focused on the progress of the ten peopleâs acupoint breaking.
Su Yue is currently ranked first.
He has unlocked 18 acupoints.
Second was Du Jingâs Book, closely following with 17 acupoints.
The other eight had also surpassed 15 acupoints.
This is the power of the Moon Nether True Scripture.
Itâs very stable.
After all, itâs the heart method that West Martial has inherited for hundreds of years, its biggest advantage is stability.
If you want to stop, you can stop anytime.
But what surprises people most about Su Yue is his calm expression.
Doesnât he feel pain?
This is opening acupoints.
Already close to 20 acupoints, some students have screamed to the point of vomiting blood, even Du Jingâs Book has started to cry out in pain.
Yet Su Yue remained the same from start to finish.
Itâs as if his face was a little pale.
But his brows never furrowed.
...
acupoints.
acupoints.
acupoints.
acupoints.
...
Reaching 30 acupoints seems to be a critical point.
At the moment of finishing, six students simultaneously collapsed after unlocking the 30th acupoint.
