Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System

”Disciple, after leaving Mao Yao City, where did you go? As your master, I have been searching for you but found no clues. Ultimately, it was in the endless jungle that I barely managed to locate a demon beast to inquire about your trail!”

”To speak of it, you have indeed suffered greatly—a mere Third Grade, crossing the endless jungle, with the slightest misstep resulting in pulverized bones.”

The two arrived at Mo Kai’s residence, and he patted Su Yue on the shoulder, expressing indescribable regret.

In just a few short months, a Third Grade crossed the endless jungle and managed to cultivate to this level—how much hardship Hong Guo has endured, just thinking about it reveals its cruelty.

Actually, Mo Kai could see the fatigue in Hong Guo’s eyes.

He truly felt heartache.

”On the day of the upheaval in Mao Yao City, to save my life, I left early. To evade the pursuit of my own kind, I had no choice but to flee into the endless jungle.”

”Moreover, I had some life-saving methods, although it was a narrow escape, at least I’ve survived till now.”

”Of course, your master’s demon engaging battle technique also helped a lot!”

Su Yue explained vaguely.

Let Mo Kai make his own assumptions about the other scenes.

”Alas, perhaps I was too worried. As the descendant of absolute pinnacle, how could you die so easily.”

”There’s an old saying in the Divine Land, ’When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it must first wear down their physical strength and exhaust their mind...’”

”Disciple, all the hardships you endure today, destiny will repay you a hundred or thousand times over in the future. Today, you can fight 100 Fifth Grades in succession—this is the reward for your hard cultivation.”

”Without the narrow escapes, you wouldn’t achieve such gains!”

Mo Kai nodded.

Then, without any further ado, he began with motivational talk.

Su Yue showed a pondering expression on his face, but his heart uttered a silent curse.

Do I need your motivational speeches?

If not for my father, if not for the system, a hundred of me would have died long ago—how could I have lasted until now?

This is just talk without any basis.

”By the way, master, there’s one thing I don’t understand!”

Then, Su Yue frowned and asked.

”Speak!”

Mo Kai nodded.

As long as it was something he knew, he would speak without reservation.

Mo Kai now was alone in the world, and this disciple was his only family.

”All peerless battle techniques require martial artist sacrifices, but why doesn’t this demon engaging require sacrifices?”

Su Yue was always curious.

He had even checked many materials after returning to West Martial.

Indeed, peerless battle techniques always required sacrifices of some sort, sometimes even limbs.

It might be because Grandmasters and Ninth Grades are relatively special. After all, dad’s chain blade doesn’t lack arms or legs, but below Grandmaster, sacrifices should be necessary.

Yet, when he executed demon engaging, it felt like performing an extraordinary battle technique—no abnormalities at all.

”The reason you don’t need sacrifices is that you merely exhibited the demon engaging’s most basic ability.”

”The strongest state of demon engaging is to completely control a demon beast. Even if you haven’t yet broken through to Grandmaster, you have a chance to control Ninth-Grade Grandmaster-level demon beasts.”

”Peerless battle techniques touch upon heavenly dao, which you’re currently not strong enough to fully comprehend.”

Mo Kai smiled and explained.

”Control Ninth Grade? What do I need to pay?”

Su Yue hurriedly asked.

This battle technique seemed truly defiant of natural order.

”What you need to pay, let’s not discuss it for now. At present, your strength doesn’t make it worthwhile.”

”Even if you’re the descendant of the absolute pinnacle, and you’re energized with Qi Blood as a martial artist, but now your Qi Blood can’t breach the Grandmaster’s barrier. So you can at most control a Ninth-Grade demon beast for about two minutes—do you think it’s meaningful?”

Mo Kai asked in return.

”Two minutes?”

”Indeed, it seems rather meaningless.”

”Master, is there something missing in the demon engaging you gave me?”

Su Yue frowned, then raised his head and asked.

”Haha, nothing escapes you.”

”In fact, there’s one final step in demon engaging. But if I had given this last step to you in Mao Yao City, my opportunity from the absolute pinnacle would have been lost!”

Mo Kai laughed and explained.

”Disciple doesn’t understand!”

Su Yue was even more curious.

Old Mo Kai constantly aimed to use Su Yue for some scheme, but the exact details he wouldn’t disclose.

The only known information was the ultimate opportunity.

”Years ago, your master obtained the Wooden Parrot, inside which was not only the battle technique manual for demon engaging but also a map leading to the secret realm of the absolute pinnacle inheritance.”

”Did you ever notice that although the Wooden Parrot appeared vivid, it was missing its eyes?”

”Right, the Wooden Parrot’s eyes are the key to unlocking the secret realm.”

”It’s not that I intentionally withheld completing peerless battle techniques from you, but because the Wooden Parrot’s eyes still have a purpose. Once you and I unlock the secret realm, these two eyes can help you finally complete demon engaging.”

As he spoke, Mo Kai flicked his finger, and sure enough, two thumb-sized glass balls appeared in the air above his palm.

Deep black color, shimmering with a very mysterious and profound light.

Su Yue could sense that these two glass balls were indeed the eyes of the Wooden Parrot, and upon observing the emergence of the eyes, the battle technique imprint within him began to stir restlessly.

What’s more, Su Yue noticed another detail.

Mo Kai opened up the Void Space to retrieve the glass balls.

Indeed!

Exactly the same as the space Yuan Xingzi had passed to him.

Of course, Mo Kai’s space was self-cultivated—he could open it without restrictions, but it was clear, Mo Kai exerted some effort to open it, and the internal space couldn’t be too large.

In Mo Kai’s space, Su Yue saw quite a few elixirs.

Those elixirs were precisely the Ninth-Grade elixirs he had swindled from Cang Ji back then.
