[Practice More If You're Bad System]: For anything you do, one successful attempt counts as one repetition.
Swing a sword, draw in qi, refine pills, take a beating... Complete 10, 100, 500, or 2,200 repetitions, and you can trigger “enlightenment,” achieving an instant qualitative breakthrough.
And so the cultivation world welcomed its most terrifying “grind fanatic.”
Others relied on talent to achieve enlightenment. He relied on keeping count: “I still need 97 more punches. I'll fight once I've finished grinding.”
Others relied on luck to win treasures. He relied on repetition: “Can't break the formation? Then I'll practice ‘taking apart the formation core’ a thousand times first.”
While the chosen one of fate found an ancient inheritance in a secret realm, Zhao Kong quietly completed his 2,199th sword swing in a corner.
On the 2,200th, his sword light soared into the sky, and Daoist resonance arose on its own.
Later
A Golden Core elder watched him refine pills. “Nine pills in one batch? This boy's talent is terrifying!”
Zhao Kong (looking down to count): “You're too kind. I just finished practicing this fire-control technique five hundred times.”
A Nascent Soul enemy besieged him for three days and three nights. When his true qi ran dry, the enemy sneered, “You're out of moves, aren't you?”
Zhao Kong (wiping his sweat as he got back up): “No. I just trained ‘taking a beating’ until I mastered a hundred repetitions. Now it's your turn to hurt.”
This is the story of taking the most straightforward method down the craziest path.
“Talent? Luck? Insight?” Zhao Kong grinned, hefting an iron sword warped from overuse.
“I have only one motto in life, ”
“If you're bad, practice more.”
