High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

It normally takes two hours to refine a martial acupoint from level four to level five. At this moment, Su Jie could clearly feel that, under the influence of double the blood and qi, the speed of its strengthening and transformation had significantly accelerated!

A strange sense of "resonance" flowed between the martial arts acupoint and the slightly warm fragment in his arms.

1 hour later!

[Ding! Martial Aperture Refinement Successful! Current Martial Aperture Level Increased to Level 5. Combat Power +6!]

It really only takes 1 hour! Efficiency has doubled!

"Haha! That's great!" Su Jie couldn't help but cheer inwardly. "With this, my chances of breaking through to the tenth level of Martial Aperture are even greater! This 'Breath of Time' fragment was definitely worth the investment!"

Without further delay, he immediately guided his qi and blood to lock onto the next level four martial acupoint.

Of course, correspondingly, the consumption of Qi and Blood also doubled! The consumption increased from 200 points to 400 points!

"Haha! Awesome! Absolutely awesome!" Su Jie couldn't help but laugh inwardly. "With this, my speed in tempering my martial acupoints is twice that of others!"

He glanced at his still enormous reserves of vital energy and blood, and his confidence soared!

"No more sleep, I'm going to curl up and keep refining!"

[Consuming 400 points of Qi and Blood, Martial Aperture Tempering in progress...]

As each martial acupoint was upgraded to level five, the power within the body accumulated like a snowball. The sound of the blood and qi flowing gradually changed from the initial babbling of a stream to the surging of a river, and even faintly emitted a deep rumble!

Three days later, when the last level-four martial acupoint successfully advanced to level five, all ninety-nine martial acupoints in Su Jie's body trembled, as if forming a more stable and powerful overall cycle!

A surge of immense power, far exceeding anything he had felt before, filled his entire body, making him want to let out a long roar!

He immediately checked the system panel:

[Host: Su Jie]

[Current Martial Arts Skills: Level 5, 99 skills]

Current Qi and Blood Reserves: 2135950 points

[Combat Power: 1584 points!]

One thousand five hundred and eighty-four points of combat power!

Su Jie clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within his body, and couldn't help but smile.

He is now absolutely confident that even without using any martial arts skills, he can easily demolish a building with just his brute strength!

"Level 5 Martial Acupoint Perfected! This feeling... is simply invincible!" Su Jie excitedly clenched his fist, creating a gust of wind in the air.

"Try taking the CET-6 exam."

[Consuming 1000 points of Qi and Blood, Martial Aperture Tempering in progress... (Estimated time: 2 hours)]

"However, upgrading from level 5 to level 6 requires 500 points of Qi and Blood, which doubles to 1000 points. After the tempering time is halved, it will take 2 hours."

The time had doubled compared to before, which Su Jie found acceptable, although the amount of Qi and Blood consumed had also increased. He just didn't know how much combat power he would gain from level five to level six.

Two hours later, [Ding! Martial Aperture Tempering Successful! Current Martial Aperture Level Increased to Level 6. Combat Power +8!]

A pleasant notification sound rang out, and the first level six martial acupoint was born! A stronger sense of power welled up within me.

"Awesome!" Su Jie exclaimed, his spirits soaring. "At this rate, one every two hours, and I'll have enough time to upgrade quite a few martial arts techniques!"

However, Su Jie soon drifted off to sleep with a satisfied expression. Four consecutive days without sleep had pushed his energy to its limit. And at this moment, the secret realm would end in three days.

Inside the secret realm, Su Jie woke up after resting for eight hours and continued his great work of tempering his martial arts skills.

He guided his qi and blood, like a gentle stream, to nourish and cleanse a level five martial acupoint.

At double the cultivation speed, the entire process requires continuous guidance for 2 hours, consuming a total of 1000 points of Qi and Blood. For him, who recovers 5 points of Qi and Blood per second, this is nothing at all.

[Ding! Martial Aperture Tempering Successful! Current Martial Aperture Level: 6. Combat Power +8!]

He immediately started on the next one without stopping.

[Ding! Martial Aperture Tempering Successful! Current Martial Aperture Level: 6. Combat Power +8!]

[Ding! Martial Aperture Tempering Successful! Current Martial Aperture Level: 6. Combat Power +8!]

……

As the warning that the secret realm was about to close echoed within the cave, Su Jie slowly opened his eyes. A sharp, condensed light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly suppressed the terrifying aura around him.

View results:

[Current Martial Acupoints: Level 6: 32, Level 5: 67]

Current Qi and Blood Reserves: 3399950 points

[Combat Power: 1840 points!]

One thousand eight hundred and forty points of combat power! Thirty-two level-six martial acupoints shone brightly like stars within his body!

This rate of improvement is terrifying!

Om-!

The entrance to the secret realm reappeared, and a powerful repulsive force emanated from it.

Su Jie and the other nine geniuses were teleported away at the same time.

Reappearing on the top floor of the Education Bureau, the other nine people all wore varying degrees of joy, clearly having gained a great deal in the secret realm. Their auras were significantly stronger than they had seven days ago.

But when their gazes inadvertently swept over Su Jie, they were all stunned.

The aura of Su Jie before me... seems even more restrained? Standing there, he seems to blend into his surroundings, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth.

Although they couldn't sense any particularly strong combat power fluctuations, they instinctively felt a slight unease.

"How much has this guy improved in the secret realm?" Zhao Feng and the others were shocked. The slight arrogance they had felt due to their increased strength vanished instantly, and they became even more wary of Su Jie.

Su Jie ignored their gazes. All he wanted to do was find a place to have a good meal, take a bath, and upgrade the rest of his martial arts skills to level six.

He walked out of the Education Bureau building in high spirits, hands in his pockets, already planning where to go for a celebratory feast.

However, just as he turned a corner into a deserted street, three thugs with unfriendly eyes blocked his way.

The leader had a hideous scar on his face, fierce eyes, and the aura emanating from his body was a staggering 800 points! Far beyond the likes of Wang Meng.

The scarred man, a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced sideways at Su Jie and exhaled a smoke ring: "Kid, you're Su Jie?"

Su Jie stopped and raised an eyebrow. He remembered this aura; it was one of the malicious gazes he had sensed in the underground passage.

"It's me," Su Jie said calmly. "What is it?"

"I heard you topped the Rising Star Ranking and made a fortune, huh?" Scarface grinned maliciously, clenching his fist. "We're a bit short on cash lately, want to borrow some? And while you're at it, how about telling us about that secret you've got?"

His two henchmen behind him also revealed malicious smiles, subtly forming a pincer movement.

Looking at these three reckless fools, Su Jie's initial pleasure from his increased strength was instantly replaced by disgust.
