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

"Su Jie! Get the hell out here!"

"I heard you're pretty arrogant? You don't even give the Zhou family any face?"

"Hiding at home like a coward? Come out and let us see what the top spot on the Rising Stars list really looks like!"

Su Jie raised an eyebrow and walked to the window to look down. He saw five burly men dressed in matching black training uniforms standing downstairs, each exuding vitality.

They all had the words "Zhou's Martial Arts School" embroidered on their chests. With sharp eyes and a fierce aura, they were clearly not ordinary instructors, but most likely the school's top fighters or instructors.

Su Jie carefully examined them and found that the combat power of four of them was above 900 points. However, the bald, burly man in the lead exuded an invisible pressure, causing the surrounding crowd of onlookers to point and whisper, but no one dared to step forward.

Su Jie was surprised. It seemed the Zhou family had actually sent a Qi Condensation martial artist! Sure enough, transmigrators always get into trouble whenever they go out. From now on, it's best to stay home and avoid trouble if possible.

It's important to understand that for a martial artist, condensing their meridians represents a leap in their life level! It's the first watershed moment on the path of martial arts!

After opening ninety-nine basic martial acupoints, a martial artist can condense a martial meridian. Each successful condensation of a martial meridian not only brings a qualitative leap in combat power, but also significantly improves the quality of blood and qi, the speed of recovery, and the overall physical enhancement, far exceeding the level of the martial acupoint stage.

Unlike the slow improvement of the Martial Aperture realm, the improvement of the Meridian Condensation realm is step-by-step:

Although condensing the first martial meridian consumes 1 points of Qi and Blood, the base combat power increases by 1000 points upon successful condensation!

Condensing the second martial vein requires 3 points of Qi and Blood. Upon success, your base combat power will increase by 2000 points!

One martial vein, ten thousand qi and blood, a thousand combat power! Simple and brutal!

However, refining 99 martial acupoints from level four to level five required nearly 20,000 units of Qi and Blood, but only resulted in a little over 500 combat power! Going from level five to level six required even more, nearly 50,000 units of Qi and Blood, but only increased combat power by less than 800!

This input-output ratio, to anyone, is insane unless they picked up this health and vitality value by chance!

This leads to the fact that most martial artists, when faced with difficulties in acquiring Qi and blood, will choose to accumulate 10,000 units of Qi and blood to condense their first martial meridian after tempering their martial acupoints to level four or five, or even just level three, in order to quickly gain powerful strength.

Those like Su Jie, who possess near-infinite blood and qi support from the system and are determined to temper each martial acupoint to the tenth level limit, are extremely rare, or rather, unique!

This bald, burly man was named Zhou Meng. As an instructor at the Zhou Family Martial Arts School, he had barely managed to refine ninety-nine martial acupoints to level four ten years ago with the support of the Zhou family. He simply couldn't keep up with the rest.

After that, he spent more than ten years gathering 10,000 units of Qi and blood to condense his first martial meridian, gaining a leap of 1,000 combat power! Although his basic combat power did not reach the 2000-point mark, his 1990 combat power was enough for him to secure his position as an instructor at the Zhou Family Martial Arts School.

"Today," Su Jie said with a cold smile, "I, Su Juan Wang, will have a good chat with you, a Qi Condensation Warrior!"

He slowly walked down the stairs and pushed open the door.

Upon seeing Su Jie emerge, the bald, burly man at the head of the group stepped forward, arms crossed, and arrogantly sized him up: "You're Su Jie?"

"It's me." Su Jie glanced at them. "The Zhou family actually sent trash like you?"

"Hey kid, what did you say?!" A hot-tempered burly man was about to step forward when he was stopped by the bald man.

The bald man's eyes turned cold: "Sharp-tongued! We've heard you're quite skilled in combat, so we've come here today to 'learn from you'! A friendly spar according to martial arts rules, to teach you a lesson you won't forget your place?"

Su Jie laughed, "Enough with the nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight; if not, then get lost. You think you can teach me how to be arrogant? You think you can do what you want?"

"You're asking for death!" The burly men were completely enraged, their blood surging, and they were about to attack.

"What? You want to make a scene in a residential area?" Su Jie's tone was sarcastic. "Aren't you afraid the law enforcement team will invite you for tea?"

The bald man's expression changed; they truly dared not break the rules and engage in a public fight in front of so many people. Suppressing his anger, he sneered, "Kid, all you can do is talk! If you're a man, come with us to the public ring near the martial arts gym! Sign a waiver, and we'll see what you're made of!"

"A public arena? Sure." Su Jie readily agreed. "I just finished eating, so I'll move around a bit to digest."

His decisiveness surprised the bald man and his gang, who then grinned maliciously. This kid was indeed a reckless fool who didn't know his place!

Their Brother Zhou is a Qi Condensation Warrior with a combat power of 1990 points. Today, he's definitely going to teach this kid a lesson!

"Alright! You've got guts! Come with us!"

Su Jie, hands in his pockets, strolled leisurely with them towards the Zhou Family Martial Arts School. The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion; some were worried, some curious, but most were excited. The top-ranked rising star facing off against an instructor from the Zhou Family Martial Arts School—this was big news!

The news spread like wildfire, and by the time Su Jie and his group arrived at the small public arena near the Zhou family martial arts school, it was already surrounded by layers of onlookers.

Zhou Kun also stood at the window on the second floor of the martial arts hall, coldly looking down with a sneer of triumph on his lips.

Beside him was a middle-aged man with a deep aura and a sinister face, who was Zhou Xiong, the deputy head of the Zhou Family Martial Arts School. His combat strength was unfathomable, and it was rumored that he had condensed two martial veins, making his combat strength far exceed 3000 points.

On the stage, the notary was ready. The bald man jumped onto the stage first, staring intently at Su Jie: "Zhou Meng of Zhou's Martial Arts School! Please give me your guidance!" He directly circulated his qi and blood to the fullest extent, releasing a combat power fluctuation of 1990 points without reservation, causing gasps from the audience.

Su Jie slowly walked onto the stage and casually pressed his handprint.

"Begin!" The notary had barely finished speaking.

Zhou Meng roared, his body moving like a tiger unleashed from its cage. His fists glowed with an earthy yellow light, carrying a heavy sense of pressure as he thrust them straight at Su Jie's chest! He was unleashing the Zhou family's signature martial technique—the low-grade Xuan-level "Stone-Splitting Fist"!

The fist whistled through the air, its force immense, clearly indicating that he had reached an extremely high level of skill! Although not yet perfect, it could at least increase his base combat power by 1.2 times, reaching around 2388 points!

"It's Instructor Zhou's Rock-Splitting Fist! He's serious!"

"That punch could break a steel plate!"

"Su Jie is in danger!"

Faced with this fierce punch, Su Jie shook his head: "Too slow."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Meng's fist, which contained terrifying power and was almost touching Su Jie's clothes, suddenly struck empty air!

"What?!" Zhou Meng's pupils shrank sharply. He hadn't seen Su Jie move at all! He only saw a blur before his eyes, and the target had already disappeared.

"It's in the back!" someone in the audience screamed.

Zhou Meng turned around in shock, only to see Su Jie appear three steps behind him, his hands still in his pockets, looking as relaxed as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.
