“Plop!”

“What the f*ck? He just knelt down? What a loser!”

In the courtyard, Qin Feng was sent flying by the mannequin that had become sentient. The system could not help but laugh. At the same time, notifications sounded in Qin Feng’s mind.

“Ding Dong! Physique +2”

“Qi and blood value +3”

“Please challenge the [ Rookie-Training Mannequin ] again in another 24 hours.”

…

Qin Feng felt helpless. This mannequin was only considered rookie-level? It was hard to accept such a reality.

However, other martial artists would be thrilled to be in his position. Earning attribute points by being beaten up was a fantastic trade-off. It was too simple! The majority of martial artists could only increase their points by a little bit within a year. On the other hand, Qin Feng gained everything in mere seconds.

Besides, what if Qin Feng defeated the mannequin? His attribute points would definitely sky-rocket. This old mansion was like a treasure that could only be obtained in dreams. Unfortunately, Qin Feng was acting ungrateful. If anyone saw it, they would be fuming.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feng recovered some of his energy. He stared at the mannequin.

“Ding Dong! Strength +0.1”

Although they were only minor increases, everything adds up. Moreover, Qin Feng was not considered a certified martial artist yet. It was good enough.

Just like that, he had gained “1.5” points in strength.

The mannequin went on the offensive and Qin Feng fell to the ground again! He stood up and decided to practice using the wooden stakes instead. Normally, the wooden stake would only be used to train his lower body. Now, it could also help increase his agility.

Seven wooden stakes shrunk and stuck themselves to the ground. All of them stayed still. Qin Feng swiftly stepped on the first wooden stake and moved on to the second one. All of a sudden, the third wooden stake burrowed slightly deeper into the ground. Just as Qin Feng was about to step on it, a sharp needle appeared. If he was careless, the needle would pierce through the soles of his feet. Qin Feng avoided it by stepping on another wooden stake at lightning speed.

“Ding Dong! Agility +0.1”

…

This training method was not too bad. Qin Feng sat on the ground and fell into deep thoughts. He did not feel as pathetic as before. Then, he began running through some calculations. In the future, he would be able to increase a certain amount of strength, agility, and physique every day. The second assessment was in twenty days. If he kept practicing like this, he would gain at least thirty-five to forty points by then. It was a terrifying rate. Other people would definitely be shocked.

“Do you actually think that you’re strong?”

Just as Qin Feng was thinking to himself, the system intercepted. It had been laughing at him all this while. Now, it suddenly sounded like a peerless expert. Qin Feng was confused. After all, a beginner with forty attribute points could be considered a monster. He was not trying to act cocky. All he wanted was to feel better. The system’s words were quite harsh.

“I don’t have all the data in this world, so let’s just talk about Jiangnan Province. Currently, the strongest martial artist around your age has a total of 500 attribute points. That person is also only six months older than you. Furthermore, more than 100 of your peers have three-digit points. Now, think carefully. Are you really strong?”

Qin Feng felt a little deflated. Throughout his life, he had always been ridiculed. Was it wrong to celebrate small achievements?

Regardless, the system was not trying to be malicious. Hence, Qin Feng took its words as a reminder. Just as he was about to say “thank you”, the talkative system suddenly changed its tone.

“A new ability has been unlocked. Hurry up and use it. You’ll get some experience points. If I level up, I’ll also gain more abilities.”

Qin Feng’s eyes were filled with doubt. Was the lonely tone he heard at the start fake? So far, this system just kept annoying him.

Qin Feng complained in his heart but quickly moved on. He followed the system and entered his old house. At the same time, there was a notification.

“Ding Dong! Special Training Field cooldown time: 24 hours.”

“Ding Dong! You’ve gained experience points +1 (1/20)”

…

At night, a nervous-looking man slowly climbed up a mountain. He began to dig up the soil with his bare hands. In less than five minutes, he had made a small mud pit. The man positioned himself in the pit and took a deep breath. After that, the soil that had been dug up began to automatically move, covering him. A wave of scorching flames appeared from the man’s body and everything returned to normal. It was as if nothing had happened.

This mysterious man had used a technique called Turtle Breath, making it impossible to find him!
