Chapter 2 Daily Settlement of Qi and Blood

Raindrops fell.

Zhang Yongan's figure was frozen on the street, watching the words flash before him.

His lips trembled, as if he couldn't believe it.

A song rang out from the nearby snack shop:

'I've waited so long, and now this day has finally arrived. I've dreamed for so long, and now my dream has finally come true.'

"System!"

Zhang Yongan had been in this world for thirty-two years.

Ever since he began practicing martial arts in high school,

he had hoped for the System to appear.

But as high school and college ended, and even after fighting on the battlefield, he still hadn't awakened the System.

He had lost hope.

He had thought he didn't have the System, but he hadn't expected it to require triggering conditions.

But thankfully, the triggering conditions had finally been met.

He quickly scanned the text before him.

"I actually have to become the principal of the martial arts school to activate the system!"

"Is there a more demanding condition than this?"

Zhang Yongan was done complaining.

His chest heaved violently. After suffering a serious injury on the battlefield, his martial arts foundation was damaged, and he had no chance of advancing in this lifetime.

He had thought he would spend his entire life alone in the principal's office, a life with no end in sight.

But now, the system that appeared before him seemed to ignite the last flame of passion in his heart.

"Strength is the sum of all students in the school!"

"That means the stronger the students, the greater the strength they will transfer to me!"

"As long as I improve the strength of all students, my strength will also increase rapidly."

"But this isn't the place to improve my strength. Let's get home first."

Putting his excitement aside for the moment,

he hailed a random car on the side of the road and

headed home.

On the way,

He was studying the system before him.

Generally speaking, it had no other abilities.

There was only one condition for improving his strength: encouraging students to practice diligently would improve his own strength.

Clearly, it was to make him a good principal!

Soon,

he returned to the Shanshui Courtyard community.

He had used all his savings to buy a house of over 100 square meters, intending to find a date, get married, and start a family.

His martial arts path was over, so he wanted to live a simple life.

But the sudden appearance of the system disrupted his rhythm.

“Ding!”

Zhang Yongan picked up his phone and checked.

It wasn’t the system’s voice; it appeared in text messages.

The caller ID on his phone was.

“Auntie Wang.”

Zhang Yongan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had decent conditions, this relative had introduced him to a second-married woman with two children, clearly pushing him into a dangerous situation.

Zhang Yongan didn’t want to associate with relatives like that anymore.

Without hesitation, he immediately blocked and deleted the message.

Not scolding the other person harshly was already giving them face.

He had a classic start.

His parents had died in the alien invasion.

These relatives weren't particularly close to him,

just blood ties.

He ignored them.

His time was precious; he didn't have time to waste on these elite individuals.

Golden words flashed before his eyes again.

[Do you accept the strength of all students in the school?]

Watching the golden words flash before him, Zhang Yongan sat on the sofa and chose without hesitation:

"Accept!"

As the words fell, the golden words flashed before his eyes, then sank directly into his body.

In an instant,

Zhang Yongan felt a powerful surge of energy and blood resurrect within him, repairing his martial arts foundation, which had been shattered by his injuries.

"Repairing your martial arts foundation?"

Zhang Yongan's face lit up with ecstasy. The Warrior Alliance and the Blue Star Federation also possessed medicines that could restore one's martial arts foundation, but the scope was too high, and the cost was astronomical.

Not even a peak-level third-rank warrior could afford them.

Of course, the Federation wouldn't treat Zhang Yongan unfairly.

At least they'd assigned him a position, a regular position, ensuring a peaceful life ahead.

He let out a long breath, accompanied by a burst of black Qi and blood power.

Soon, his martial arts foundation was completely restored.

He could feel his mind no longer hazy, becoming clearer and more lucid.

Earlier, in the cafeteria, he'd almost fallen asleep listening to the piano.

This was a side effect of a damaged martial arts foundation, primarily due to poor Qi and blood circulation.

Now it was all right.

All his minor ailments had been instantly healed.

It was practically like a complete rebirth.

This ability alone was enough to rekindle Zhang Yongan's confidence,

not to mention the fact that it could also combine the Qi and blood strength of all the students in the school.

Soon afterward,

An even more powerful Qi and blood force surged forth, drawn from the Qi and blood of the entire school, instantly entering his body.

He felt his strength rapidly increasing, and even his body grew much stronger!

His former peak third-grade realm had fallen to early third-grade.

But now, his realm was constantly climbing.

"Late third-grade."

"Peak third-grade!"

Finally,

He felt a surge of Qi and blood throughout his body, and his realm underwent another transformation.

"Early fourth-grade!"

"Mid-fourth-grade!"

Then, his Qi and blood returned to a stable state.

[Distribution of the combined Qi and blood of all the students in the school completed]

"Is that all?"

Zhang Yongan opened his eyes, a puzzled look on his face.

The Qi and blood strength of all the students in the school had only allowed him to advance one realm!

How could it be so little?

Just then, his phone dinged again.

He picked it up and discovered he'd been added as a friend by someone named Vice Principal Chu of Shanhe Martial Arts Academy.

"Hello, Principal Zhang. I'm our school's Vice Principal. I spoke to you on the phone earlier."

"Here's our school's basic information. Take a look."

"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony for the new semester. I'll meet you at the school gate."

"(Bow) (Bow) (Bow)."

Zhang Yongan also replied:

"Thank you very much!"

"(Bow) (Handshake)."

This person had previously handed over school responsibilities to him, and the signatures he had just signed were also reviewed by this person.

Several files appeared on the chat panel.

There were some school background and some basic information, and the next file was a list of student strengths.

Zhang Yongan was instantly intrigued.

He immediately clicked on it to check.

After a moment, Zhang Yongan's face darkened.

His fingers swiped through the list, eventually exiting the file.

The combined strength of all the students in the school only raised him by one small realm. He hadn't understood it before, but now it made perfect sense.

It was simply because, on the list of six hundred people,

even among the juniors, only a few had reached the first-rank martial arts realm.

The rest had weak Qi and Blood strength, even less than that of some high school students.

But a quick look at the school's information made everything clear.

Shanhe Martial Arts Academy,

Full name: Shanhe Martial Arts Vocational College,

is a newly established martial arts college offering a three-year martial arts program.

He had previously graduated from a reputable martial arts university in the Magic City, so he assumed all universities were comparable to his.

Most of the students should be martial artists.

But looking at the martial arts college, only two or three juniors had achieved first-rank martial arts.

No wonder that was the only strength he could improve.

Being able to raise him by a small realm was truly remarkable.

"If I could become the principal of Magic City Martial Arts University, the initial boost in strength would at least allow me to advance from Rank 3 all the way to Rank 7 or even Rank 8."

Of course, Zhang Yongan didn't dwell on it. Being the principal of a martial arts college was already the best reward his First-Class Merit could offer him.

Otherwise, at the age of 32 and a Rank 3 martial artist, how could he possibly become the principal of a martial arts school?

If he were really assigned to Magic City Martial Arts University, he'd probably just be a toilet cleaner.

The text flashed before him again.

[Daily Qi and Health boosts for all students will be directly credited, increasing speed and strength.]

Looking at the flashing text, Zhang Yongan finally understood.

"This is a daily payout, not bad!"
