Generous Rewards

[Assessment Time: 2 hours 37 minutes]

[Assessment Failed!]

On the large platform of the first level, Jiang Ye looked at the panel that appeared before him, momentarily speechless.

He understood now. Whenever he entered the illusion, he would instinctively forget his purpose. It was as if an invisible hand was wiping away his memory. This was incredibly frustrating. Unless his Martial Will could surpass the assessment's limit, he wouldn't be able to pass.

"However, I finished the assessment half an hour earlier this time."

Jiang Ye pondered, "Does this mean my Martial Will has improved?"

In the illusion, although he seemed to be enjoying himself, his subconscious was constantly fighting against it. The sooner he regained clarity, the stronger his Martial Will naturally was. After two illusions, Jiang Ye felt his willpower had indeed become a little stronger.

"If I can keep improving, then eventually, I will pass the assessment!"

With that thought, he no longer hesitated and entered the assessment again.

[Assessment Time: 2 hours 11 minutes]

[Assessment Time: 1 hour 50 minutes]

[Assessment Time: 1 hour 23 minutes]

For the next period, Jiang Ye repeatedly underwent the illusion assessment. He experienced the trials of the massage parlor time and time again.

"I'm not doing this for pleasure, but to hone my Martial Will through this method," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

It was indeed effective. Through the tempering of the illusions, the time it took him to complete the assessment grew shorter and shorter. This meant his Martial Will was gradually growing stronger. However, the further he progressed, the smaller the margin of improvement became. Especially when he got under an hour, he could only improve by a few minutes each time.

Moreover, the illusion wasn't always Chen Zilu; they would change things up, arranging beauties with different styles to serve him. Fortunately, Jiang Ye's resolve was firm, and he made progress each time.

As the time to complete the assessment grew shorter and shorter, finally, after one assessment.

[Assessment Time: 10 minutes]

[First Level Assessment Passed!]

The first level of the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder.

Rumble!

A golden stone tablet slowly rose from the large platform of the first level, like the rising sun, radiating brilliant light. Four bold characters were inscribed on it in a powerful calligraphy:

Martial Arts Grandmaster!

[Congratulations, you have stepped onto the first level of the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder and obtained the Immortal Monument!]
[Calculating rewards.]

"Phew!"

Jiang Ye let out a long breath, his eyes bright. After a whole night of arduous training, he had finally passed the first level assessment!

"I wonder what the reward is?" Jiang Ye was quite expectant.

In reality, even without any reward, the improvement in his Martial Will from this single night was already a huge gain. Martial Will was ethereal, something ordinary people couldn't improve. Jiang Ye's current Martial Will probably far surpassed that of ordinary people.

[You passed the assessment after experiencing 47 'Beauty Trials', surpassing 0.001% of Martial Arts Grandmasters. You love your country, but you love beauties even more!]
[Title Unlocked: Red Face Seeks the Way!]

[Settlement Rewards]

[Red Face Seeks the Way, Talent Visibility, Comprehension Enhancement]

[Red Face Seeks the Way: When you encounter an opponent or teammate of the opposite sex, attack speed increases by 35%, and damage has a 50% chance to increase.]

[Talent Visibility: Martial Arts Grandmaster, discerning eye can recognize treasures. You can easily identify the Martial Arts talent of others.]

[Comprehension Enhancement: Comprehension permanently increased by 10%.]

Looking at the lines of text appearing on the panel, Jiang Ye felt his mood was far from pleasant.

"Martial Arts Grandmasters exceeding 0.001%? Are other Martial Arts Grandmasters' willpower really that firm?"

Jiang Ye felt no shame in this regard.

Heroes have always found it hard to pass the beauty's trial, and making mistakes for beauty is only human.

So what if he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster? Does that mean Martial Arts Grandmasters can't touch women?

Jiang Ye shook his head and looked at the rewards.

"Red Face Seeks the Way, Talent Visibility?"

Red Face Seeks the Way was easy enough to understand: increased attack speed and critical hit chance when encountering someone of the opposite sex.

But this Talent Visibility, it could actually see other people's talents?

Why would the System reward this?

"Could it be that they really want me to found a sect and recruit disciples widely?" Jiang Ye shook his head helplessly.

However, this time's reward still pleasantly surprised him.

"Comprehension permanently increased by 10%!"

Jiang Ye's eyes lit up slightly.

He had already tasted the benefits of comprehension.

Coupled with his Grade B physique, Jiang Ye didn't dare to imagine how fast his cultivation speed would be in the future.

However, within this Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder, he couldn't sense any changes in himself.

Jiang Ye didn't rush to leave but looked at the panel again.

[You have passed the first-level assessment. You can re-take the assessment, but you cannot obtain rewards.]

[You can continue to climb to the second level.]

As these lines of text appeared.

The second large platform directly in front of Jiang Ye's head suddenly erupted in golden light, as if telling him that the second level had been unlocked.

"I can re-take the assessment?"

"This means I can use the illusions of the first level to continuously temper my Martial Will."

Jiang Ye thought to himself, looking at the panel.

He had already decided to use the illusions to temper himself more in the future.

But for now, he wanted to see if he could climb to the second level.

Jiang Ye looked at the white jade steps in front of him and immediately climbed onto them.

"Boom!"

As soon as he stepped on the first step, he felt an incredibly terrifying pressure.

Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and stood on it, but no matter what, he couldn't take another step.

The pressure was too terrifying!

A moment later, Jiang Ye returned to the first level.

"It seems that only after reaching the perfection of the cultivation method, or even breaking through, can I challenge the second level."

Jiang Ye felt regret in his heart.

Even after his physique had transformed, he could only barely step onto the first step.

But there were still a full nine steps behind him to reach the second level.

According to the pattern of climbing the first level, the pressure of each step would increase geometrically.

Jiang Ye knew that for now, he could only stop at the first level.

"Time to leave."

Jiang Ye turned and walked away, heading down the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder.

Soon, he exited the Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder.

Glancing back at the magnificent and imposing Heavenly Ladder that seemed to have no end, Jiang Ye's figure slowly disappeared into the mist.

In the room, Jiang Ye suddenly sat up in shock.

He looked at the time; it was already four in the morning of the next day.

"Was it a dream?"

Jiang Ye rubbed his eyes.

But when he looked at his status panel, he suddenly came to his senses.

[Constitution: Mortal Body (Grade B)]
[Talent: Primitive]
[Cultivation Method]
Star Martial Cultivation Method: Great Accomplishment (1%)
[Achievements]
Martial Arts Grandmaster, Friend of the Ancestor, Martial Arts Grandmaster, Red Face Seeks the Way
[Martial Arts Heavenly Ladder]
First Layer

Jiang Ye looked at himself. His first feeling was that he seemed to have become much lighter.

His entire body was filled with strength, with an inexhaustible supply of vital energy.

"Is this a Grade B constitution?"

He could feel that his body had been reshaped from the inside out!

The world in his eyes was incredibly clear, even in the darkness.

His hearing also seemed different; he could faintly hear sounds from far away outside the window.

Jiang Ye stood up and tried to throw a punch.

"Bang bang!"

Just a light punch, and a series of whistling sounds echoed through the air.

"It really is different from before."

Jiang Ye's eyes lit up. "I feel full of strength. My power has probably increased by a large margin compared to before!"

After the transformation of his constitution, his body underwent a comprehensive change.

"I just don't know how it will be to cultivate with a Grade B Mortal Body."

Jiang Ye was full of anticipation.

Now, not only had his constitution been upgraded to a Grade B Mortal Body, but his comprehension had also been permanently increased by 10%.

He really wanted to know what level his Martial Arts potential had been raised to now.
