Xu Jie couldn't be bothered to waste time at the infirmary!

Before this, he was in Southeast Asia, where there were no medical facilities for proper treatment.

If he got injured, he either waited to die or gambled his life and treated the wound himself.

He was long used to this!

As he spoke, Xu Jie spun the dagger in his hand, slicing off a piece of flesh with a shick. Blood immediately splattered everywhere, causing the male instructor's mouth to twitch.

Crazy!

The male instructor turned and left. Just as he reached the doorway, he saw Chu Mingyue, dressed in a mink coat and wrapped up like a zongzi, walking in. Her style of dress was completely different from before.

"Uh, Miss Chu, the principal instructed you..."

"I know!"

Chu Mingyue walked past the male instructor and into the lounge. After seeing what Xu Jie was doing, Her delicate eyebrows furrowed. She walked over, snatched the dagger from Xu Jie's hand, and reprimanded him with dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing? Come with me to the infirmary!"

"..."

Xu Jie helplessly looked up. He met Chu Mingyue's gaze. Her demeanor had become much more dignified. He moved his lips, seeming like he wanted to say something.

"I am your instructor, you have to listen to me!"

"..."

Chu Mingyue glanced down at Xu Jie from above. Then, she suddenly leaned in, bringing with her a sweet, cloying fragrance, and whispered into Xu Jie's ear.

"Xu Jie, I want to..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie's body trembled, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Finally, he nodded, picked up his bag, and followed Chu Mingyue out of the lounge.

In the school's infirmary.

Xu Jie sat on the hospital bed, contemplating Chu Mingyue's words from earlier.

"Xu Jie, I want to know how you cultivate the Demon Subduing Flame Blade. I'm also practicing this martial skill. Can we discuss it?"

Discuss...

Should he take this opportunity to directly give Chu Mingyue the profound principles of the Demon Subduing Flame Blade to repay her kindness?

After he got the system, especially since the system could also draw prizes, he didn't really care much about martial arts or skills.

If he could repay Chu Mingyue's previous kindness, perhaps he could completely cut ties with this woman, which would be a great relief.

Alas, it seemed difficult.

This woman seemed to be getting more and more interested in him, which was not a good sign.

Moreover... Chu Mingyue had helped Xu Jie more than once. Could repaying her with just the profound principles of one martial skill be enough?

Feeling somewhat annoyed, Xu Jie subconsciously reached for the plant roots he had collected.

Then, his face froze. He realized his upper clothes were gone.

"System, start the lottery!"

[Initiating lottery draw...]

[Lottery draw successful! Obtained Saber Art · Nine Extremes Demonic Blade!]

[Progress towards next lottery draw (137/3000)!]

A martial skill?

Xu Jie could directly cultivate this saber art, unlike the Yi Jin Duan Gu Scripture, which required breaking through the Pulse Opening Realm first.

"System, upgrade Nine Extremes Demonic Blade!"

Xu Jie unhesitatingly chose to use his available lifespan to upgrade his newly acquired saber art realm.

He had plenty of lifespan now; there was no need to save it!

Resources were meant to be consumed. Would they increase if he just hoarded them?

[Nine Extremes Demonic Blade (Initiate): With the foundational saber art knowledge from the Demon-Breaking Saber Art and the Demon Subduing Flame Blade, your cultivation of new saber arts encountered almost no obstacles. You grasped it almost instantly, understanding the essence of this saber art and mastering the method of attacking an enemy's spirit.]

[Nine Extremes Demonic Blade (Minor Accomplishment): Building upon this foundation, you spent five years cultivating this martial skill to Minor Accomplishment, mastering the first stance of the Demonic Blade, also known as the first extreme of the Demonic Blade, achieving a 1.5x amplification.]

[However, the gap between each extreme of the Demonic Blade is vast. After cultivating for another thirty years, you barely managed to master the second extreme killing move.]

[Another thirty years passed in a flash. You trained diligently for many years, only to find no progress in the Demonic Blade saber art. It was then that you finally realized that relying solely on diligent practice and comprehension made it difficult to break through the bottlenecks of the saber art.]

[Therefore, you changed your cultivation method, practicing the Demonic Blade through simulated combat. Gradually, you comprehended the true essence of the Demonic Blade. Ten years later, you finally mastered the third extreme of the Demonic Blade.]

[At this point, with your current cultivation, you have reached the pinnacle of the Demonic Blade. The Demonic Blade saber arts from the fourth extreme onwards are beyond the grasp of someone in the Blood Moving Realm like you.]

[Progress towards next lottery draw (202/3000)!]

As Xu Jie continued to cultivate the Nine Extremes Demonic Blade, his aura subtly shifted, and a hint of demonic energy surged within him.

If Xu Jie was merely arrogant and fierce before, after cultivating the Demonic Blade, his entire being exuded a chilling demonic aura.

A single, ordinary glance could shake the minds of the timid.

Of course, Xu Jie himself hadn't realized this yet, nor did he know how powerful the Demonic Blade truly was, to the point of directly changing a person's temperament.

What he knew for sure was that the Demonic Blade technique didn't seem like a conventional martial art; its attack method leaned towards the mental aspect.

Wait, I can't spend all my lifespan?

After the system consumed sixty-five years of lifespan to upgrade the Demonic Blade to its third stage, it automatically stopped using lifespan to enhance martial skills.

This left Xu Jie stunned, completely unprepared for such a turn of events.

Looking at the available lifespan column, with just over five hundred years remaining, he felt an overwhelming discomfort, his obsessive-compulsive tendencies flaring up.

Since the Demonic Blade had no room for improvement for the time being, he decided to focus on his martial cultivation realm!

"System, continue cultivating the Blood Burning Art!"

Xu Jie had already gone through Blood Moving nine times, and it was time to break through.

He had no intention of suppressing his cultivation; his pursuit was constant improvement. As long as he had enough lifespan, he would continue to grow stronger.

[Advanced Stance Cultivation · Blood Burning Art (Mastered): Although you have completed nine Blood Moving cycles, you still diligently cultivate every day, attempting to break through your current realm. Ten years pass quickly.]

[You gradually discover that due to your overly condensed blood, breaking through to the Pulse Opening Realm seems extremely difficult. After persisting in cultivation for thirty years, every time you attempt to open your meridians, you encounter a solid bottleneck, obstructing your breakthrough.]

[Another fifty years pass. You pay no mind to the difficulty of breaking through, merely cultivating day after day. Finally, one early morning, your efforts and perseverance are rewarded. Your entire body's meridians vibrate, and you are only one step away from truly breaking through.]

Just as Xu Jie was preparing to push through and break into the Pulse Opening Realm, Chu Mingyue's voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Give me the things, and you can leave!"

Miss Chu, can you... can you treat the trainees?

"Yes! You can leave now!"

"Understood..."

Hearing her voice, Xu Jie reluctantly opened his eyes, temporarily halting his cultivation.

He turned his head to look at Chu Mingyue, who was gracefully walking towards him with a swaying gait.

At this moment, Chu Mingyue was carrying a tray filled with various medicinal agents and bandages.

Before Xu Jie could do anything, Chu Mingyue pulled the curtain, blocking outside view and trapping them in a small, enclosed space.

Xu Jie raised an eyebrow, then his expression shifted, revealing an appearance of extreme shock.
