Su Qingning Applies to Add Friend

The night was already deep.

Jiang Hao finished his practice of the Tidal Wave Spear Technique, his mood exceptionally light due to the breakthrough in his martial skill. However, Song Jun's face also surfaced in his mind.

That bet.

Jiang Hao hadn't forgotten.

The first condition—joining the Key Class—he had already fulfilled.

And the second condition.

Within one month, raise his Blood Qi Intensity to 12.0!

That was the real main event!

"Busy dealing with all sorts of things today, plus training in martial skills."

"I haven't practiced the stance yet."

"And the stance is about to break through too!"

"I wonder what surprise breaking through to the Eighth Turn will bring me. At the very least, a big spike in Blood Qi is guaranteed."

Jiang Hao checked the time. Though it was already very late, he didn't hesitate at all.

"Train!"

Moonlight like water!

Spilled across Jiang Hao's resolute face.

Jiang Hao cast aside stray thoughts and assumed the posture of the Seventh Turn of Nine Revolutions Stance Skill.

Once, twice, three times...

Sweat surged forth again.

Jiang Hao tirelessly circulated his Blood Qi.

He kept at it all the way to the seventh time!

His stamina finally hit its limit. Every muscle in his body trembled faintly, sending out aching protests of unbearable strain.

[Ding, completed one practice of "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill · Seventh Turn"]

[Proficiency +1]

[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery · Seventh Turn (99/100)]

"Just... one last bit!"

A gleam of tenacity flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes.

Without resting.

Jiang Hao directly pulled a pre-prepared Medium-grade Nutrient Solution from his pocket.

"Gulp!"

Tilting his head back!

Downed it in one go!

The azure medicinal liquid entered his throat, instantly transforming into a rolling torrent of heat, rushing like magma into his exhausted body and meridians!

"Boom!"

Jiang Hao's already depleted stamina was crazily replenished in that moment!

The feeling was like a long drought finally meeting rain!

Leveraging this surge of powerful medicinal force, Jiang Hao fiercely began the eighth round of practice!

This round.

Was the final round for breakthrough!

The Blood Qi within Jiang Hao's body, driven by the medicinal force, surged wildly at an unprecedented speed!

It scoured the vessel walls, producing a roar like a great river!

"Break for me!"

Accompanied by a sharp shout!

As the last movement was completed.

Jiang Hao's whole body shook. It felt as if some shackle inside him had been violently smashed open!

A surge of even more vast and pure Blood Qi power emerged from the deepest part of his body!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill" has broken through to Mastery Realm · Eighth Turn!]

[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery · Eighth Turn (1/100)]

Breakthrough!

Eighth Turn!

Jiang Hao only felt his body become incomparably light in that moment.

All the previous fatigue was swept away!

Replaced by boundless energy!

Jiang Hao immediately checked his Information Panel.

[Host: Jiang Hao]
[Strength: Martial Trainee (Blood Qi Intensity 9.9)]
[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery · Eighth Turn (1/100)]
[Martial Skills: Spear Technique · Perfection (55/100), Tidal Wave Spear Technique · Minor Success (1/100)]

"9.9!"

Seeing this number, Jiang Hao's pupils sharply contracted, and then a surge of immense joy flooded his heart!

"It actually shot straight up to 9.9!"

"One breakthrough, plus the aid of a Medium-grade Nutrient Solution, and it raised my Blood Qi by 0.4!"

"So satisfying!"

Jiang Hao clenched his fist excitedly, feeling the surging power within his body. He felt like he could even punch a hole through the void right now!

Of course, that was just the illusion of a sudden power surge!

"My physical fatigue is completely gone."

"In that case..."

"Let's keep going!"

Jiang Hao didn't waste this hard-earned state. He immediately began the first formal cultivation of the Eighth Turn Stance Skill!

The movements of the Eighth Turn were even more complex and difficult than the Seventh!

Every posture seemed to challenge the limits of human flexibility!

The consumption of Blood Qi also multiplied!

Even with the medicinal support of the Medium-grade Nutrient Solution, Jiang Hao felt immense pressure.

Once!

Twice!

Until the fifth repetition ended!

Jiang Hao once again felt his stamina reach its limit!

"The consumption of the Eight Revolutions Stance Skill is truly terrifying."

"With my current state, I can only manage five repetitions at most per session."

Jiang Hao said as he slowly withdrew his stance, exhaling a puff of hot white breath.

Although the number of cultivation cycles was fewer, the effect was even more astonishing!

Jiang Hao looked at the panel again.

[Strength: Martial Trainee (Blood Qi Intensity 9.99)]

"9.99!"

Jiang Hao was stunned!

"Just five repetitions, and it increased Blood Qi by 0.09?!"

"That's practically 0.1!"

He calculated rapidly in his mind.

"0.1 per day..."

"Ten days makes 1.0!"

"In a month... I could increase Blood Qi by 3.0!"

This calculation made even Jiang Hao himself draw in a sharp breath!

"This is insane!"

"Is this the awesomeness of a high-proficiency Stance Skill?!"

"At this rate..."

"Forget breaking through to 12.0 in a month."

"I'd probably need only twenty days... no, half a month!"

A gleam of absolute confidence shone in Jiang Hao's eyes.

Zhao Wuji?

Lin Fan!

12.0 Qi and Blood?

Soon enough, I'll be on equal footing with him in Qi and Blood!

After finishing a day of crazy training.

Jiang Hao went to the bathroom, took a refreshing shower, washed off the stench of sweat, then dried his wet hair and returned to his room.

The night was already deep.

The entire city had fallen asleep.

Jiang Hao sat on the edge of his bed, about to turn off the light and sleep.

Just then.

"Buzz."

The personal terminal on the bedside table suddenly lit up!

Jiang Hao was a bit puzzled.

Who would be contacting him so late?

Lu Ming?

Or Song Jun?

Jiang Hao picked up the terminal.

The next second.

He froze.

The screen displayed an extremely brief message.

[Su Qingning has applied to add you as a friend.]

[Additional info: I am Su Qingning.]

Jiang Hao blinked at these words. He even wondered if he was too tired from training and seeing things.

Su Qingning?

Su Big School Flower?

She actually took the initiative to add him as a friend?

"What does Su Big School Flower want to do?"

Jiang Hao was baffled.

At school today, although she helped him out of a tight spot, she also piled a mountain of hatred onto him.

Now, in the dead of night, adding him as a friend—could it be something important?

Or...

Could it really be like the rumors at school, that her heart was stirring with spring?

Jiang Hao shook his head, tossing that unrealistic thought out of his mind.

Impossible.

She was a Sun-level Prodigy.

Still.

Since she took the initiative to apply.

It would be too ungrateful of him to refuse.

After all, there was no deep grudge between them.

On the contrary, she helped him today.

And...

Jiang Hao's mind conjured up Su Qingning's cold and beautiful face.

"Have to admit."

"Having such a top-tier beauty in my friends list."

"Is pretty pleasing to the eye on a regular basis."

With that thought, Jiang Hao let out a wry laugh. He reached out his finger and lightly tapped the screen.

[Accept.]

"Beep."

Friend added successfully.

Almost the next second.

A new message popped up in the chat window.
