Chapter 101: A New Perspective After Three Days
Chapter 101: A New Perspective After Three Days
In the rear courtyard of the martial arts academy.
Facing Wang Jin's question, Jiang Ning slowly nodded, "My Five Beasts Fist has reached perfection."
At this moment, Wang Jin heard Jiang Ning's confident response.
Even though he had already guessed it in his heart, his breath still quickened involuntarily.
In less than two months of learning the fist technique, Jiang Ning had progressed from a complete novice to achieving mastery over his vital energy, and his Five Beasts Fist had even surpassed the realm of perfection.
Wang Jin's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of dizziness.
Is this what a true genius is like? No wonder Shen Congyun values Jiang Ning so highly.
After a few breaths, Wang Jin regained his focus and looked at Jiang Ning again.
"Can you freely control the Five Beasts Energy now?"
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, speaking with utmost honesty, "Yes!"
For Jiang Ning, revealing that his Five Beasts Fist had reached perfection was not a big deal.
He now possessed several trump cards, and the perfection of his Five Beasts Fist was not one he needed to keep hidden.
Moreover, the perfection of the fist technique would naturally manifest during regular training sessions.
With Wang Jin's experience, a single glance would be enough to tell, making it unnecessary for Jiang Ning to hide it.
"Come and try it out, strike a burst of energy into my body and let me see!" Wang Jin said.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning slightly nodded, "Alright!"
The next moment, he raised his hand and slapped Wang Jin's arm, instantly sending a burst of energy into Wang Jin's body.
Feeling the familiar energy within his body, Wang Jin's expression turned to astonishment once again.
"Five Forms Unified," he muttered to himself.
Then, he looked up at Jiang Ning again, and his heart felt like a howling gale.
Others might not know about the Five Beasts Fist, but he did.
While it was extremely rare to master the five types of energy upon reaching perfection in the Five Beasts Fist, this was still something that most martial artists could achieve after perfecting the five forms.
However, looking across the entire world, those who could achieve this were not many.
After all, the Five Beasts Fist was not an exclusive martial art for him.
It was a martial art that many others had already learned.
Regarding this martial art, after reaching perfection, there was still a deeper level in the strict sense.
That was to merge the five types of energy, combining them into one, forming a single energy.
This was the most difficult step.
According to the Five Elements Theory, the Five Beasts were categorized under the Five Elements, representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Merging the Five Elements was naturally an extremely challenging task.
Even for him, it took thorough mastery of the Five Beasts Fist and over a year of dedicated research to achieve this step.
But once achieved, the energy of the Five Beasts Fist would undergo a further transformation, possessing the characteristics of the five elements, and becoming a single energy of balance and peace.
This energy, while not outstanding in combat, was extremely effective for tempering one's body.
Even with the entry-level Canglang Blade Technique and the mastery of the Ninefold Power, the path of tempering one's body was still far inferior to the Five Forms Unified after reaching perfection in the Five Beasts Fist.
Looking at Jiang Ning, Wang Jin couldn't help but slowly smile.
Then, he burst into hearty laughter.
"Not bad!"
"Really not bad!!!"
On the other side.
Zhou Xing, who had just arrived at the front courtyard, heard Wang Jin's cheerful laughter coming from the rear courtyard.
He couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
"Jiang Shidi is truly remarkable!" he exclaimed, knowing that only he could hear his own voice.
Hearing Wang Jin's laughter, he understood the joy that Jiang Shidi had brought to Wang Jin.
This indicated that Jiang Ning had made significant progress on the path of martial arts.
Zhou Xing then sighed inwardly, "It seems that it won't be long before Jiang Shidi enters the ranks of the Ninth Stage Martial Artist! With such talent, Master Wang won't be able to resist helping him seize this opportunity!"
"If Jiang Shidi is to realize his potential, being born in Luoshui County, he must join the Patrol Bureau!"
"From this perspective, my future colleagues won't just be Xiao Peng Shidi and Cheng Ran Shidi, but also Jiang Ning Shidi."
"It seems that my investment in Cheng Ran was a failure!"
Zhou Xing muttered to himself, shaking his head unconsciously as he spoke the last sentence.
Then, he continued walking.
In the rear courtyard.
After laughing, Wang Jin composed himself and turned to Jiang Ning.
"You're quite impressive, kid. You've achieved the Five Forms Unified, and with this Five Beasts Energy, your efficiency in tempering your flesh is several times that of ordinary people. This will be of great help in tempering your energy skin and entering the ranks of the Ninth Stage Martial Artist!"
"Your vital energy is probably not far from perfection, with it coursing through your limbs!"
"In this period, you should focus on strengthening your vital energy. There's about a month and a half left before the opening of the Patrol Bureau, and with my help during this time, you might be able to seize this opportunity."
"You have high talent. If you want to go further on the path of martial arts, either join those top-tier sects or rely on the court and join the Patrol Bureau!"
"Aside from these two choices, you have no other options."
"The higher you go on the path of martial arts, the more secretive the core teachings become, especially for those aiming to become grandmasters or even greater masters."
"While you may not have the connections to join top-tier sects, the Patrol Bureau has an existing path for entry. If you want to go further, you must seize this opportunity!"
After listening to Wang Jin's words, Jiang Ning replied, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand! Therefore, regarding the opening of the Patrol Bureau in a little over a month, I am determined to succeed!"
"Having this confidence is good! A real man should have such self-assurance!" Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning at this moment, nodding in satisfaction.
Then, he continued, "Since that's the case, go and cultivate! Strive to achieve Qi and Blood Perfection as soon as possible, so you can start refining your Energy Skin and enter the ranks of the Ninth Stage Martial Dao!"
"Only by reaching the Ninth Stage can you qualify to join the Patrol Bureau."
At that moment, Jiang Ning heard Wang Jin's words, and his expression paused as he adjusted his state. Then, he spoke.
"Master, I've already entered the Ninth Stage Martial Dao!"
"Well done!" Wang Jin replied immediately.
The next moment, his expression changed, and his tone rose involuntarily, "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled helplessly.
He knew that by revealing his achievement of the Ninth Stage, Wang Jin would react this way.
But in the Energy Skin Realm, even a slight touch would reveal his progress in Energy Skin Tempering.

Hiding it from Wang Jin was pointless.
Moreover, there was no need to conceal his current progress in martial arts from Wang Jin.
Then, Jiang Ning spoke again, "Reporting to Master! Disciple has successfully refined the Energy Skin and has entered the ranks of the Ninth Stage Martial Dao!"
Hearing Jiang Ning's response, Wang Jin's body suddenly moved, appearing beside Jiang Ning like a swift gust of wind.
Then, he patted Jiang Ning's arm, sensing the changes as his Vital Force entered Jiang Ning's body.
Wang Jin's eyes widened, showing a look of disbelief.
In his heart, he muttered, "He's truly advanced in Energy Skin Tempering! He's actually refined the Energy Skin! He's truly entered the Ninth Stage Martial Dao!"
"Did I sleep too much last night and have a hallucination today? How is this possible?"
"How did this kid do it?" After leaving the city for over ten days, he suddenly claimed to have perfected the Five Beast Fist upon his return.
Moreover, he achieved the unification of the Five Forms and the fusion of the Five Beast Energies.
He even refined the Energy Skin, making his skin tough like cowhide, and entered the Ninth Stage Martial Dao!"
"Wasn't he at the Mastery of Qi and Blood, not yet at Perfection?"
"How did he change so drastically all of a sudden?"
Wang Jin's mind was filled with a thousand doubts, and he was dazed for more than a breath before snapping back to reality.
Then, his pupils refocused, and his gaze fell on Jiang Ning.
"It must be that Shen Congyun gave him good stuff! Truly valuable items! Otherwise, how could he have progressed so much all of a sudden?"
"Yes, that's it! Otherwise, none of this makes sense!"
Wang Jin affirmed his guess and then looked at Jiang Ning, slowly grinning, revealing his white teeth.
"Good lad! You've truly impressed me!"
Wang Jin patted Jiang Ning's shoulder heavily twice, his joy evident.
After being patted on the shoulder by Wang Jin, Jiang Ning's lips twitched involuntarily.
Then he said, "My achievement is largely thanks to Master. Without the supplements and Qi and Blood Pills that Master gave me, I wouldn't have achieved this today!"
"You're quite the smooth talker!" Wang Jin chuckled upon hearing this.
Then, the two continued their conversation for a while.
Jiang Ning returned to his room in the Martial Academy.
Opening the door, he entered his room and took out a box from the cabinet, which he had placed there earlier.
Inside the box were the supplementary cultivation resources that Wang Jin had given him.
Usually, when he went out, he would carry some Wild Ginseng with him.
After all, Wild Ginseng was a dried herb, compact in size, and easy to carry.
However, the Qi and Blood Pills were different.
These pills required proper preservation; otherwise, their efficacy would diminish quickly.
That's why Jiang Ning hadn't carried them with him before.
After opening the box, Jiang Ning took out the remaining Wild Ginseng and Qi and Blood Pills, placing them on the table to start counting.
After finishing the count, Jiang Ning muttered, "There are still twenty-three roots of Wild Ginseng, worth two hundred and thirty taels of silver even if purchased from Zhou Xing!"
"There are also sixty-eight Qi and Blood Pills left. According to my previous knowledge, the market price of Qi and Blood Pills is five taels of silver each. Although the value isn't high for me, these pills are essential for cultivation among the aristocratic families."
"Calculating it, these Qi and Blood Pills are worth three hundred and forty taels of silver!"
"Wang Jin has indeed been generous to me, spending nearly a thousand taels of silver on me!"
"With his wealth, it's probably around ten thousand taels of silver, as cultivation is a money-draining endeavor!"
"Wang Jin must have spent a lot of money over the years, and with his advancing age, he'll need many more supplements to maintain his Vital Energy and organ function, slowing down the decline."
"I'll have to rely on myself for the resources needed for my future cultivation!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning reached into his pocket and took out a purse.
Opening it, he saw two gold leaves and four silver bills, each worth a hundred taels of silver.
"Fortunately, I've earned this windfall!"
"Otherwise, in a few days, I'd be worrying about money!"
"Now, with this wealth, equivalent to over two thousand taels of silver, I'll buy a house later, and the remaining money should be enough to sustain me for a while."
With this thought, Jiang Ning felt much more at ease.
Having money brings peace of mind!
