"Old Bear, heard you won your first match in B9, congrats."

Flower Bear's face was bruised and swollen, and he lost a front tooth.

"Lost three matches, only to finally win one. This kind of record, really not worth mentioning, a money-losing deal."

Flower Bear wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

So embarrassing.

Losers get no payout, and even have to cover their own medical expenses.

"Don't be discouraged, life has its ups and downs. Although you're pretty weak in B9, at least you won one, not yet rock bottom.

"Just wait until I also enter B9 and beat you, then it'll be rock bottom."

Su Yue chuckled slyly, Flower Bear clenched his teeth.

This spoonful of chicken soup is scalding.

If defeated by a former sparring partner, that'd truly be disgraceful.

"Flower Bear boss, isn't there a chance you'd encounter Bai Zhao in B9 level?

"I hear Bai Zhao's killed over 40 people in the club, and most of those who survived were left disabled. You better be careful!"

Old Zhao looked worried.

Su Yue also frowned.

Bai Zhao is currently ranked first in the consecutive wins list, known for his ruthless and lethal approach.

There's even speculation that Bai Zhao participates in the fighting matches not for the prize money, but to revel in the act of killing.

Every move is fatal.

Whenever Bai Zhao competes, the referees are senior club members of third-grade level.

Even then, some fighters resigned a bit too late and were killed on the spot.

With third-grade referees, the death rate is slightly reduced.

In B9 fighting, sequence is random, Flower Bear might really encounter Bai Zhao.

"Haha, who do you think Flower Bear is?

"As a seasoned fighter, I've been studying Bai Zhao's techniques since half a year ago.

"His approach is nothing but quick, precise, ruthless, and as savage as a beast, with his trump card being the tongue, as everyone knows.

"As long as I can evade his tongue sword, I've already won half the match.

"Besides, Bai Zhao isn't without a weakness, his defense is his Achilles' heel, and I've prepared my secret weapon."

Flower Bear smiled calmly.

"Indeed, the one who knows you best isn't your lover or family, but rather your enemy."

Su Yue nodded.

It's not just Flower Bear, any B9 level fighter has already studied Bai Zhao hundreds of times.

Ending Bai Zhao's winning streak would earn a fighter a substantial bounty.

Actually, Su Yue himself is currently a research subject too.

Ending his 76-win streak would also win a bounty.

As for Bai Zhao.

Su Yue had studied him too.

His winning streak is due to mastering a unique combat technique.

Tongue Sword.

When Bai Zhao extends his tongue, Qi Blood forms around it with saliva as the medium, creating a one-meter-long Soft Sword, able to strike from any angle like a snake, hard to defend against.

This is absolutely a hundred times more nimble than the Gang Qi Blade.

Though both can increase attack range, Gang Qi Blade and standard knife skills can only cleave in a fan shape.

While this Tongue Sword can pierce from any angle.

Those killed fighters were pierced in vital spots by the Tongue Sword.

"Flower Bear boss, could you reveal a bit about the secret weapon?"

Old Zhao and the others looked expectant.

"Sure.

"My secret weapon is the simplest knee strike, the knee has the strongest explosive power, clean and straightforward."

Flower Bear said.

"Knee strike?

"Flower Bear boss, an inch shorter means an inch riskier, knee strike is practically a close combat move. Can you evade Bai Zhao's Tongue Sword?"

Old Zhao looked even more incredulous, and the other sparring partners and fighters were equally puzzled.

Su Yue's eyes narrowed, listening closely.

"Your short-sightedness doesn't understand the essence of the knee strike at all.

"If I'm facing Bai Zhao now, I'd keep my eyes on his pupils constantly, focusing my attention on his ears.

"I'll seize the moment the match bell rings to take the initiative.

"You all know Bai Zhao is fast, but at the moment he strikes, I must be even faster.

"As soon as his eyes show signs of a move, I'll definitely bend my knees first, then crash my knees hard on the ground, followed by my fists slamming the floor."

Flower Bear's gaze was sharp as lightning.

"Then what? How do you dodge the Tongue Sword?"

Old Zhao was parched mouth.

"Then nothing, already knelt down, then beg for mercy, calling 'daddy'."

Su Yue expressed disdain.

His knees crashed hard on the ground, fists slammed too, just short of head-butting the floor.

"Su Yue, it's true what they say about heroes having similar insights, my forehead will even use a collision kill, crashing towards the ground at the fastest speed.

"Then surrender, Bai Zhao surely has a brief 0.05 seconds of stunned silence, allowing the referee to save my life."

Incredibly, Flower Bear's face bore a smile as if assured of victory.

"Ah... so the famed knee strike means kneeling and calling 'daddy'?"

Old Zhao and the others were bewildered.

"Not calling 'daddy' means waiting for death?

"If matched against Bai Zhao, to leave the stage unscathed is considered a win."

Flower Bear heartily gnawed on a chicken leg, not embarrassed at all.

"Flower Bear boss's strategy isn't wrong, there's no need to sacrifice oneself."

Old Zhao and the others unanimously agreed.

Su Yue nodded too.

He's heard people say, though Bai Zhao is first-grade, his strength is already infinitely close to second-grade, essentially invincible.

...

The next day.

Su Yue continued fighting on the B7 arena.

The opponent might have studied his tactics, making today's battle especially strenuous for Su Yue.

In the morning, he barely defeated one opponent.

In the afternoon, Su Yue fought two matches in a row, although he achieved three wins out of three, he sustained injuries too.

Went to the hospital to rest.

Su Yue has now rented a single room, for convenience.

On the club's consecutive wins list, Su Yue soared to second place.

79 wins in a row.

"Today's three opponents could all land a Vigorous Fist, tomorrow's advancement match might be even tougher.

"But I must admit, this open-handed, life-and-death fight boosts Qi Blood growth effectively."

On the hospital bed, Su Yue glanced at the system:

...

Available Diligence Points: 816

Diligence Counter:

1: Sleep Exemption

2: Price of Love

3: Save Your Dog Life

4: Difference Between Human and Ghost

Qi Blood Value: 21 Cards

...

Diligence Points are close to 1000.

Recently, Su Yue also discovered a disheartening fact.

Not only does the Qi Blood within have resistance.

The system's Diligence Points also have a certain adaptability.

Su Yue's current fighting level is B7, if he went to B1 fighting arena, even injured, Diligence Points wouldn't increase much.

This situation is akin to someone taking too much medication and developing antibodies inside.

To accumulate more Diligence Points, he can only opt for more brutal environments.

The Diligence System really doesn't let him have a moment's rest.

There's Qi Blood Pill in the hospital's safe, bought back by Sun Zhiwei for Su Yue.

Guangkun's name is already a club big shot, Su Yue now isn't short of money, so he freely consumes pills.

Su Yue bought a detector himself.

Sure enough.

Qi Blood Value has stabilized at 21 Cards.

When he met Dai Yuegui a few days ago, Su Yue didn't manage to test 21 Cards, but now does so easily.

Currently in competitions, it's inconvenient to exchange Qi Blood, lest it results in disability.

Su Yue also knows that after 30 Cards, exchanging Qi Blood will be more advantageous.

Regrettably, he needs practical combat, each additional Card of Qi Blood is more strength.

Moreover, with higher Qi Blood, the Diligence Points earned are slightly more than when lower.

The system clearly encourages immediate exchange.
