Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King

Li Xian stepped into a mysterious state. He had always believed that diligence would be rewarded, and his efforts were always fruitful. Yet, his wisdom, talent, and comprehension were exceptional, achieving natural progress. There was also the serendipity of an unexpected epiphany.

Once, a high monk from the Western Regions achieved enlightenment overnight, and the eternal green lotus bloomed. Now, Li Xian tirelessly practiced, realizing the profound nature of "Only I have a Heart Skill."

He thought to himself, "This time, I was able to save Sister Liuli and feign death to escape, all thanks to the mysteriousness of ’Only I have a Heart Skill’. On the brink of death, I had no time to think clearly, but now I have gained much insight. Since I acquired this Divine Skill, I never seriously practiced it. Although I improved daily, it was due to the profundity of my Life Chart."

"I originally thought... ’Only I have a Heart’, emphasized the word ’I’. This martial art, viewed across the world, only I can learn it, only I can use it. That’s the reason for its uniqueness. But now I’ve come to realize, perhaps this skill emphasizes the ’I’. Only by focusing on oneself, cultivating the self, can one truly be unparalleled. Even if everyone in the world were practicing ’Only I have a Heart Skill’, my version would still be unique. There’s no second Li Xian in the world, many might resemble me, but only I am truly myself. This Heart Skill, without the teachings of the sages, requires no imitation of them."

"Follow my desires, all the rules and restrictions are discarded."

The heartbeat resonated, and the Heart Protection Divine Intent refined to the extreme.

[Due to fate, your fragmented heart is reborn, pure intentions, with impurities avoided, enhancing your Skill Level of the Five Organs Avoiding Turbidity Eye Meridian by +26.]

[Your divine intent remains intact, reshaping the heart meridian, aligning with the original intention of practicing ’Only I have a Heart Skill’. After countless refinements, the intent is boundless, becoming a unique school. Realized: ’My heart unbroken, intent permeates the world.’]

[Only I have a Heart Skill Level +36]

...

...

The remaining thirty percent of the injuries are recovering rapidly at this moment.

His heart meridian, broken and reborn, refines into a flawless translucent heart, a truly unique heart. Heart connected to intent, at this moment, comprehension and energy break the cocoon to become a butterfly, reaching utmost sublimation, displaying uniqueness.

Weariness, fatigue, and weakness all vanished. Li Xian’s old injuries fully recovered, reborn, stronger than before!

Li Xian’s breathing was calm, his heartbeat slowly pulsing.

All things were silent, with him as the sole ruler. Flocks of birds circled, countless fish submitted, a gentle breeze brushed past, grass bowed and rose as if in a devout salute. Dust rose and fell, seemingly in submission.

[Only I have a Heart Skill]

[Skill Level: 5123/10000 Minor Achievement]

[Description: Through the trials of life and death, you attain a new heart, breaking the shackles, acquiring the true essence of Heart Skill. From now on, only I have a Heart, only I have a Skill. No need to imitate the sages. Realized: ’Intent Infusion’]

Chest filled with vigor, Li Xian shouted aloud, venting his pent-up frustrations.

Stepping on Seven Stars Step, he swiftly traversed between tree branches, reveling in the sheer joy. He saw a mountain wall blocking his path and immediately leapt towards it. Soaring eaves and walking walls, soaring through the air.

He gestured with a wave, and the Ruyi Treasure Sword flew into his hand. He performed the Setting Sun Bloodsword, painting the sun in the air, with profound martial arts transformations, seemingly like a radiant sun in a trance.

Having endured for over a month, he broke free of his shackles, this kind of exhilaration, others truly could not comprehend. Seeing no one around, he unleashed his power entirely. Displaying all his martial arts, with utmost transformations, creating splendid spectacles, with wonders emerging one after another.

Startling the flocks of birds into leaving their nests, all beasts fled. Li Xian was naturally free and unrestrained, gaining the Only I have a Heart Skill, Heavy Pupil Appearance, Divine Ghost Fierce Clothing... which added a unique quality to him. Both mysterious and unique, subtly intimidating all beings.

After the battle with the Jade Girl, Li Xian realized his shortcomings, his martial arts were both diverse and low-level. At this moment, he was exhibiting them all, yet with no sense of disdain. Each move and style was not easily gained.

He thought to himself, "There are surely more formidable martial arts in the world. Should I disdain and doubt my own learning upon encountering superior martial arts, it would be akin to denying myself, denying my past. The battle between me and the Jade Girl was not about winning or losing, but about life and death. I did not die, she did not perish, this battle is not over. No need for haste or anxiety, leading to loss of composure."

After practicing numerous martial arts multiple times, Li Xian’s heart was stronger, his energy and stamina were inexhaustible. Only at noon did he land to rest. He exhaled clear air, expelling sweat impurities.

Then, he began researching his gains.

Only I have a Heart Skill had distinguished itself from predecessors. This ’Intent Infusion’ belonged solely to Li Xian. He concentrated, infusing his intent into the Ruyi Treasure Sword.

Soon the sword resonated with a "zheng" sound, gleaming with an invisible glow, instantly becoming more acute by several degrees. Li Xian chose a large rock and swung his sword to slash at it, the rock split into two, its cut surface extremely smooth.

Intent Infusion could make objects sharper and more durable. Li Xian thought, "Had I possessed this ability when battling Zhao Ranran, my Sinking River Sword and Cyan Sword might not have been so easily damaged."

He also noticed that the Ruyi Treasure Sword, already exceedingly sharp, could cut through iron as if it were mud, easily slicing stone, even without ’Intent Infusion’. Unable to gauge the ability of Intent Infusion, he shrunk the Ruyi Treasure Sword into a small needle, hiding it inside a thumb ring.

Layering the Divine Ghost Fierce Clothing and Pure Gang Qi Clothing to completely conceal the thumb ring. Li Xian may not be a match for Zhao Ranran, but with various unique abilities, he was well-equipped to handle various dangerous situations.

Li Xian looked around, picking up several stones. Aiming at the distant tree trunk, he simply shot the first stone. The stone accurately hit, making a "dong" sound, the tree trunk quivered, leaves fluttering down.

The stone embedded three inches into the wood. Surface cracks appeared, Li Xian struck the tree trunk with his palm, rebounding the stone back into his hand, seeing the stone had shattered into pieces.

Li Xian picked up another stone between his fingers. This time, he infused his intent, the stone enveloped in an invisible rythm. Li Xian fired it, the stone shot out with a swish, easily piercing through the tree trunk in a flash, its speed faster, its power stronger.

And without a tendency to shatter.

Li Xian was overjoyed, "This Intent Infusion is truly powerful. The rocks in these mountains have long been eroded by wind and rain, their texture is loose. With just an infusion of intent, I can achieve this. The Only I have a Heart Skill is truly a wondrous skill!"
