Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Qin Yu returned to the house unharmed; at least his backside escaped unscathed.

"Ding! Choice complete, Spirit +10!"

When my parents learned that I had actually escaped from the jaws of a peak two-star monster, they were terrified and immediately asked if I was injured. Of course, they didn't have time to beat me up.

In their eyes, it was incredibly lucky for a mere martial apprentice like themselves to escape from a peak two-star demon beast; they had truly escaped death.

After all, there is a difference of two major realms between them.

Little did they know, his little iron fist could make even a three-star monster kneel, let alone a two-star monster!

After all, a hundredfold increase in power is no joke.

However, as the fight progressed, Qin Yu increasingly felt that his mental strength was indeed insufficient.

When facing high-level enemies, his wooden vines could only bind them for less than a second before they could break free. This was clearly because his mental strength was still too low.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu took out a few more mid-grade spirit stones and a triple cultivation speed experience card to continue cultivating.

After two hours of cultivation, Qin Yu frowned.

It has been almost a week since he was promoted to a nine-star martial apprentice.

Despite dedicating at least one to two hours to cultivation every day, I still feel there's a long way to go before I can advance to the level of a one-star martial artist.

This made him somewhat dissatisfied.

Keep in mind that this was the effect of using a mid-grade spirit stone and a triple cultivation speed experience card, both of which had a combined buff.

Even so, the speed at which spiritual power is accumulated is still so slow, which is enough to show how difficult it is for a nine-star martial apprentice to advance to a martial artist.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to advance from a nine-star martial apprentice to a martial artist. I thought I would definitely be able to advance within a week. I underestimated the difficulty of advancing to a martial artist."

Qin Yu pondered to himself.

If someone else heard him say these words, they would probably be so angry they'd die.

After all, ordinary people don't have as many auxiliary cultivation buffs as Qin Yu. They rely almost entirely on themselves, and their daily cultivation time is at least five or six hours.

Even so, it's already quite good to be promoted to a minor star level in a few months.

But Qin Yu was something else. In just over a month, he went from a one-star martial apprentice to a nine-star martial apprentice and he wasn't satisfied. He even dared to dream of advancing to a martial artist within a week!

It should be noted that even with Lin Qingxue's talent and family background, it took her a full two months to advance from a nine-star martial apprentice to a one-star martial artist!

Even so, this is considered a fairly fast promotion speed in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

It can only be said that people's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Dissatisfied with his rapid promotion, Qin Yu decided to practice an extra hour every day starting today!

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

For someone like Qin Yu, a serious slacker, cultivating for two hours a day is already the limit.

In his view, before having a system, it was enough to just focus on cultivating.

If the system arrives, but you still have to work hard to cultivate every day, then the system has been a waste of time.

Sure enough, Qin Yu had only been meditating for less than five minutes when a wave of drowsiness washed over him.

His eyes gradually became glazed over, and then slowly closed.

He actually managed to drift off to sleep in a sitting position.

"Snoring...snoring..."

Soon after, a snoring sound came from behind.

Just then, the phone alarm suddenly went off, and a clear, gentle female voice came out.
