Chapter 105: Changes After More Than Ten Days

Outer City.

At this moment, Jiang Li held the deed in his hand, his eyes widening involuntarily.

His gaze fixed firmly on the deed, specifically on a particular line.

The line that marked the foundation of the main residence.

After several breaths, Jiang Li finally looked up slowly.

"A house occupying more than ten acres, is it really bought by my younger brother?"

Jiang Ning smiled, "Big brother, the deed clearly states it in black and white, and it even has the official seal. How could it be fake?"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Li's expression showed some emotion.

A moment later.

He and Liu Wanwan couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning spoke again, "Big brother and sister-in-law, don't overthink it! There's nothing to consider! I can't live in such a big house by myself."

"And you can see that the world is becoming less and less peaceful!"

"The Outer City is even more chaotic compared to the Inner City!"

"Even if you don't consider yourselves, you should think about the safety of Little Doubao and Jiang Yiming."

After hearing these words, Jiang Li nodded heavily.

"My younger brother is right! This world is indeed a bit turbulent, and the Inner City is indeed much safer!"

At this time.

Liu Wanwan also spoke up, "Aning, thank you!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile contentedly.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, why be so polite! I've been living off you for so many years, and you've never complained!"

When Liu Wanwan heard Jiang Ning's words, she thought of her late-night complaints to Jiang Li, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

After that, the family began to pack their belongings, preparing to move.

In the blink of an eye.

More than ten days had passed.

During this time, Jiang Ning only traveled between the Martial Academy and the large mansion he had purchased near the Luoshui River.

With his family's move into the mansion, the Jiang Manor sign was officially hung.

Living in the newly purchased mansion, Jiang Ning finally understood what it meant to feel truly at ease.

The mansion occupied five acres, divided into three large courtyards in the east, west, and north, with high walls and even taller trees. As long as the gates were closed, no one could disturb his Skin Tempering.

There would be no more awkwardness like before at the Martial Academy.

With his improved mood, Jiang Ning also felt that his martial arts progress became more efficient.

Within these ten days.

The entire Luoshui County remained peaceful, and Jiang Ning only heard about the arrival of an Executor Elder from the Medicine King Valley, leading a team.

According to the conversations among the Martial Academy disciples, the Executor Elder had brought several experts from the Medicine King Valley to Luoshui County to capture the river bandit wanted by the government.

Thunder River Dragon, Dishonest Field.

Based on various signs, Dishonest Field was hiding within the county town of Luoshui County.

At the same time, Jiang Ning also learned about the strength of the Medicine King Valley's Executor Elder from the disciples' conversations, ranking at the seventh level of the Martial Dao.

His strength far surpassed that of the Thunder River Dragon, Dishonest Field, who was at the eighth level of the Martial Dao.

Moreover, apart from the Medicine King Valley's Executor Elder, three other eighth-level experts accompanied them.

This demonstrated the Medicine King Valley's determination to capture Dishonest Field.

The reason Jiang Ning paid so much attention to this matter was also because of the bounty offered in the wanted poster for Dishonest Field.

With information leading to Dishonest Field's whereabouts, a reward of one hundred taels of silver would be given.

If Dishonest Field could be captured and brought to justice, a reward of one thousand taels of silver would be granted.

A reward of one thousand taels of silver, at the exchange rate of one tael of gold for one thousand taels of silver.

That would be equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.

Such a high reward naturally piqued Jiang Ning's interest.

If Dishonest Field could be captured and brought to justice, earning ten thousand taels of silver, it would mean a fortune.

However, Jiang Ning also knew that there must be something suspicious about it.

Why would a mere eighth-level martial artist like Dishonest Field warrant a seventh-level Executor Elder to lead a team to capture him?

Not to mention why he would be worth a reward of one thousand taels of gold, a huge bounty.

One thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, this shouldn't be the reward for an eighth-level wanted fugitive, a river bandit.

As you know.

Experts like Wang Jin, who are few and far between in Luoshui County, have a foundation of around ten thousand taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels of silver is ten times Wang Jin's wealth.

Therefore, Jiang Ning suspected that there must be something suspicious, and it was a big mystery.

In the Martial Academy.

[Five Beasts Fist Experience +1]

Jiang Ning practiced his fist technique repeatedly in the front courtyard.

With each repetition, his Qi and Blood surged by five strands.

Qi and Blood are the foundation and origin of martial arts.

Without strong Qi and Blood, martial arts progress is difficult.

The stronger the Qi and Blood, the stronger the physique and the more advanced the martial arts. Simultaneously, the efficiency of Skin Tempering and muscle tempering steps would be improved.

Therefore, Jiang Ning still attached great importance to the Five Beasts Fist.

This was related to the strengthening of his Qi and Blood.

Not to mention that when the experience is full, breaking the limit would allow his fist technique to reach a new level, and it would also grant him new attribute enhancements.

Jiang Ning eagerly awaited this.

The Five Beasts Fist was the closest to breaking the limit among the martial arts he had mastered.

During the repeated practice of the fist technique.

Jiang Ning also saw his experience points continuously increasing.

At the same time.

In the front courtyard, numerous disciples stopped their training to watch Jiang Ning's fist technique intently, carefully observing and studying his moves.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's displayed fist technique was a manifestation of mastery, a harmonious blend of form and spirit, combining hardness and softness, movement and stillness.

This was an opportunity for any disciple in the front courtyard of the martial arts academy.

As long as they could comprehend even a little, their fist technique would undoubtedly improve.

Everyone seized this rare opportunity.

They also knew that as Jiang Ning's strength progressed, he spent less and less time at the academy and more time at his own home.

They were all well aware of this.

After practicing the fist technique several times in a row, Jiang Ning felt his energy consumption was excessive. As he condensed a large amount of vital energy, his body also subtly showed signs of exhaustion, and only then did he stop his practice.

Then, he directly picked up the half-eaten dried ginseng that was placed beside him and chewed it until it turned into crumbs, swallowing it into his stomach. Only then did he feel his exhaustion gradually dissipating.

Afterward, he opened his panel and took a look.

【Name】: Jiang Ning

【Essence Energy】: 53.8

【Skills】:

Scholarly Skills (Second Break Limit 811/3000) (Characteristics: Memorize at a Glance, Extraordinary Senses)



Five Beasts Fist (Perfect Realm 533/1000)



Firewood Cleaving Blade Technique (Third Break Limit 4000/4000) (Characteristics: Cross-Reference Understanding, Sword Like a Gale, Sword Handling Like a Deity)



Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique (Proficiency 807/2000)



River Wave Blade Technique (Proficiency 1/200)



Unyielding Body Technique (Entry 721/1000)



After checking his panel, Jiang Ning secretly nodded in satisfaction.

In just over ten days, his Essence Energy had increased from a few points to 53.8, an extremely rapid growth. This amount was sufficient for the third break limit of skills like Scholarly Skills and Five Beasts Fist.

However, Jiang Ning's Firewood Cleaving Blade Technique had already reached the third break limit, and although the experience value for the fourth break limit was satisfied, he estimated that he would need 100 Essence Energy points to meet the requirements for the fourth break limit. Currently, the experience value was full, but the Essence Energy points were still far from enough.

As for Scholarly Skills, although it was only at the second break limit, there was still a significant gap in experience value to reach the third break limit. It was still quite a distance away.

Jiang Ning was aware that it would be impossible for Scholarly Skills to reach the third break limit in a short time, given the difficulty of obtaining experience value for this skill.

The true limitation for Scholarly Skills' break limit was the growth of experience value.

At the same time, Jiang Ning was extremely satisfied with the progress of his Five Beasts Fist, Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique, and Unyielding Body Technique.

Five Beasts Fist, in the Perfect Realm, had already accumulated over half of the experience value, reaching 533 points.

In this period, it had increased by over 400 experience points.

This indicated that he had practiced the Five Beasts Fist over 400 times during this period.

Each practice of the Five Beasts Fist would bring him five strands of vital energy, meaning his vital energy had increased by over 2,000 strands during this time.

Compared to before, his vital energy had increased by at least 50%.

The improvement during this period was indeed significant! The Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique had also increased from less than 400 experience points to over 800 points.

The growth of over 400 experience points also made Jiang Ning feel that his stamina had become stronger, and he was closer to reaching the next realm of the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique.

However, the most significant improvement was in the Unyielding Body Technique.

This cultivation method was only 200 experience points away from the next realm.

This indicated that he was not far from achieving the Stone Skin level.

During these few days of introspection, Jiang Ning also observed that his skin membrane had gradually transformed from a dark red color to white.

As far as he knew, achieving the Stone Skin level meant that the skin membrane beneath the skin would completely turn white.

Whiteness was the characteristic of Stone Skin.

Once the Stone Skin level was reached, it would lead to an initial qualitative change, making it difficult for ordinary knives and swords to inflict lethal injuries on martial artists at this level.

Especially for common household knives and firewood-cutting blades, it was almost impossible to even damage the skin membrane, let alone cause so-called lethal injuries to these martial artists.

In the strict sense of the Ninth Stage Martial Dao, only upon reaching the Stone Skin level would there be an initial qualitative change.

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning felt extremely motivated.

With his current efficiency, he was not far from the Stone Skin level, or perhaps very close.

At most, he would need eight or nine more days to reach the Stone Skin level and bring about a true qualitative change.

At that time, Jiang Ning felt that his strength would take a huge leap.

After achieving Stone Skin, his physique and strike resistance would significantly enhance.

This would enable him to withstand even stronger attacks and allow him to frequently unleash the power of double-layered essence force, making it his regular means of attack.

With this advantage, Jiang Ning believed that even when facing an Eighth Rank Martial Dao expert in the Divine Strength Realm, he would have the confidence to give it a try.
