Chapter 106: Returning to the Martial Arts Academy
After a while, Jiang Cheng finally calmed down.
Sensing the Primordial Force was one thing, but introducing it into his body was another matter entirely. Those Primordial Force light points were extremely resistant, and absorbing them was an immense drain on his mind and soul.
He wanted to see how much Primordial Force his current self could absorb, so after feeling the pressure, he didn't stop.
Fortunately, he reached a conclusion. After absorbing two hundred Primordial Force light points, for every one absorbed, one would escape.
"It seems my limit is reached."
Jiang Cheng felt the Primordial Force within his body and used his Inner Art to absorb it. Indeed, it was much more effective than waiting for the Primordial Force to come to him. Previously, when he was unconsciously absorbing the Primordial Force light points into his arms during his martial arts training, there were fewer than ten.
Moreover, despite the entire process taking only a few minutes, the experience points for Shattered Jade Technique increased by 16 points.
Before he had even started practicing Shattered Jade Fist, he would meditate for ten minutes, and his experience points would only increase by 0.1. It seemed like the system was showing mercy, giving him a small consolation for his hard work.
But now, as long as he maintained a constant state of absorbing Primordial Force, he could earn one point every second.
Extrapolating this, he could earn 60 points in a minute, and with 5000 points needed for the experience bar, he could max it out in just over an hour.
In comparison, practicing Shattered Jade Fist without secret medicine would require 250 hours of non-stop training, and even with the secret medicine, it still took nearly three days.
However, this state was extremely exhausting for his mind and soul.
When he felt tired from practicing, he could take a short break and eat something to quickly recover, but when his spirit was depleted, he would need at least five or six hours of rest to fully recover.
"No wonder Senior Brother Zhao said that without secret medicine, secret martial arts progress is slow. If one can constantly absorb Primordial Force, the cultivation speed would naturally be faster, but due to limited spiritual power, each person can only absorb a limited amount of Primordial Force daily. Using secret medicine, however, has no such restriction and can continuously enhance the body's constitution, allowing one to sense the location of the first acupoint."
Jiang Cheng rubbed his head to ease the headache while thinking.
If only there was a secret martial art to enhance spiritual power.
Jiang Cheng let out a bitter laugh.
He had just obtained a secret martial art and was already thinking of acquiring another to enhance his spiritual power; it was indeed a bit of wishful thinking.
He decided to take a break and refine the Primordial Force light points to strengthen his physical body.
Refining the Primordial Force also consumed his mind and soul, but compared to constantly absorbing it from the outside, refining what had already been absorbed into his body was much less draining.
After a short rest, he felt somewhat better. Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and began refining the Primordial Force within him.
The process was slow, and the speed at which he refined the light points was even slower than their escape. Moreover, every ten minutes, he had to pause and massage his temples.
In total, he refined for half an hour, and it was more like 70% of the light points escaped, with less than 30% refined.
He felt a little stronger.
Even after using the secret medicine, Jiang Cheng felt his constitution improve, with increased stamina, strength, and speed.
If only there was a professional testing machine to make it more intuitive.
His experience points also increased.
In the state of refining Primordial Force, experience points can increase by 0.1 per second. Over half an hour, this accumulates to over 180 points. In terms of gains per unit of time, this is definitely less than absorbing Primordial Force.
However, the advantage lies in its sustainability and ease of persistence.
If the main effort is focused on refining Primordial Force, at a rate of 0.1 experience points per second, it would take about 13 hours to reach 5000 experience points.
Previously, he absorbed too much Primordial Force at once, resulting in nearly 70% being wasted. After a couple of hours, once his spirit has recovered somewhat, he can gradually absorb and refine some Primordial Force.
Repeating this process, he should be able to reach the Beginner's Chapter of the Shattered Jade Technique within two or three days.
Once he reaches the Beginner's Chapter, things will become easier. An additional acupoint for automatically absorbing Primordial Force will naturally increase the speed, and it's also unknown how much Primordial Force the first acupoint can hold. The more, the better.
Taking advantage of the effects of the secret medicine, he shouldn't neglect the Shattered Jade Fist either.
He might as well learn the next dozen or so techniques. To reach proficiency in the Shattered Jade Fist, the experience bar has increased from 3000 to 10000 points. Relying solely on the first ten techniques, even with the help of the secret medicine, would be much slower.
Before he knew it, it was already deep into the night.
Jiang Cheng felt his spirit had mostly recovered, so he absorbed and refined nearly 200 Primordial Force light points.
He didn't forget to practice with the double sticks either. After all, in his current state, when he truly engages in combat, he still relies on weapons.
To his surprise, the secret medicine also enhanced his double stick practice, and even more so than the Shattered Jade Fist.
If he practiced for a few more hours, he could reach the Accomplished stage.
Additionally, through swinging the sticks, Jiang Cheng noticed that his constitution had improved, and his arms seemed to move a bit faster.
The night passed.
The next morning, while eating breakfast, Jiang Cheng heard the sound of a megaphone outside.
He could vaguely hear the words "Iron Fist Gang."
Jiang Cheng's expression changed slightly. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked to the door. Sure enough, about twenty to thirty meters away, two people were walking down the alley, shouting through a megaphone.
"Everyone, we are the Iron Fist Gang. From now on, this area will be under our control. We will collect a management fee of 1500 every month, starting in two days. Please prepare in advance so that you don't face difficulties on that day."
People stood on both sides, stunned.
Although they had known about the news, they still harbored a sliver of hope that the Iron Fist Gang might show mercy, reduce the fee, or delay it until the next month. After all, they had just paid not long ago.
Seeing the formal notification, their last bit of hope vanished.
Jiang Cheng watched as the two men walked away.
The Iron Fist Gang had finally arrived.
The members of the Wild Wolf Gang had probably left, and the matter of killing Wei Bao was now a thing of the past.
It was time to fulfill the agreement and bring Grandma Chen and the others back from the Outer Borough.
Actually, for both Grandma Chen and himself, it was best for them to live in the Outer Borough.
Unfortunately, it was someone else's house. It was already a great kindness for them to let him stay for a while due to the Martial arts academy's face.
If he were greedy and ungrateful, it would only make others dislike him.
So, he would go to the martial arts academy later and talk to Bai Shexie about this matter. Today happened to be the day she was on the second floor, guiding everyone.
