Chapter 109: The Power of Skin Refinement Realm Minor Success!
Chapter 109: The Power of Skin Refinement Realm Minor Success!
In his own courtyard, Jiang Ning clenched his fist, instantly feeling the surging power within him.
"So strong!"
"The strength I feel should be over a thousand taels!"
He then stomped his feet.
A thunderous boom reverberated as the ground beneath him shook, sending dust flying, and the nearby trees swayed, rustling loudly.
"Truly powerful!"
Feeling the resilience of his physique against this force, Jiang Ning's face lit up with joy.
The next moment, he bent down and picked up a piece of grayish-white stone from the ground.
He then clenched his fist, exerting force with his fingers and palm.
The muscles of his arm bulged like tree roots.
After a moment, he opened his palm, revealing the grayish-white stone in his palm, now reduced to a pile of shattered fragments.
As Jiang Ning opened his right palm, the stones in his palm fell to the ground.
He blew on his palm, and the white dust on it was blown away, revealing his unharmed palm.
"Indeed, there's no injury!"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Let's try again!"
He walked a few steps and stopped in front of a rock weighing over fifty jin.
His fingers curled into a fist.
"Break!" Jiang Ning exclaimed.
His right fist struck out with immense power.
The punch was swift as the wind, slamming into the rock in front of him.
A loud boom shook the air.
The fifty-jin rock shattered into pieces.
Feeling no pain in his fist, Jiang Ning turned his fist towards himself.
"Huff!"
He blew away the dust, revealing his unharmed skin.
"What formidable defense!"
Jiang Ning smiled again.
His flesh and blood withstood the impact against the stone, shattering it without a scratch on his fist or palm.
This undoubtedly proved that his skin's hardness had surpassed that of the stones.
Only then could he remain unscathed.
Feeling the change in his skin's resilience, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.
Reaching this stage, he could truly be considered a Ninth Rank Martial Artist.
The Stone Skin Level, compared to the Bull Skin Level, was a transformative metamorphosis.
Matching the Bull Skin Level, it was still a flesh and blood body.
But matching the hardness of stones was different.
Stones were not flesh and blood.
For ordinary martial artists, reaching the level of having skin as hard as stone meant their bodies were like being covered in a layer of rock, possessing formidable defense.
The Skin Tempering technique he cultivated, the Unyielding Body Technique, was the foundational martial art of the Golden Body Temple.
Cultivating the Unyielding Body Technique, regardless of the level, always had 30-50% stronger defense than ordinary martial artists of the same level.
This was the power of a top-tier sect's foundational martial art.
After this simple test, Jiang Ning understood the extent of his defense.
His skin was much harder than ordinary rocks.
If an ordinary person used a sickle or an axe, they could only cause superficial injuries, unable to inflict severe damage.
"Reaching this stage, there's a fundamental difference from ordinary people! No wonder only by entering the Ninth Rank Martial Arts can one stand out among the masses!" Jiang Ning sighed inwardly.
Jiang Ning walked to the side and picked up his Black Wood Longsword.
The sound of unsheathing echoed as he drew his sword. "Let's see if my physique can withstand the combined force of two Essence Forces!"
As he spoke, his right hand tightened around the longsword, and the Essence Force flowed and brewed in his right arm.
The next moment, he struck out.
Holding the sword, he slashed at the empty air.
A sharp sound of slicing through the air came.
With this strike, due to the sword's speed and power, Jiang Ning felt the air as if it were water.
As the sword fell, the air was split, and the trail left by the sword was visible to the naked eye.
After the sword flash, the sharp longsword suddenly stopped in mid-air.
This strike had sliced through the air.
Jiang Ning felt a powerful tearing sensation in his body and the combined force of two Essence Forces exploding in his right arm, exerting immense pressure on it.
Maintaining the sword-holding posture for a full breath, Jiang Ning then channeled his Essence Force, flicking his wrist.
The longsword in his right hand flew straight into his left hand.
Then, he spread his right fingers, clenched his fist, and felt the relaxation of his arm muscles and skin.
After repeating this several times, he nodded in satisfaction. "It's truly different! The combination of two Essence Forces doesn't seem to burden my right arm much, and I can withstand it completely. Moreover, I feel there's still room to spare. I can choose to continue breaking through my River Wave Blade Technique!"
【Skill】: River Wave Blade Technique (Proficiency 1/200)
According to the previous sword manual, once the River Wave Blade Technique reaches Minor Success, it can combine three Essence Forces, unleashing even more terrifying destructive power.
With my current physique, I can completely withstand the explosion of three Essence Forces.
Even the five Essence Forces of the perfected sword technique might not be impossible to endure with my life.
With this thought, Jiang Ning made a decision.
"In the coming days, I'll focus on sword training and break through the River Wave Blade Technique to Minor Success. Let's see how my body handles the combined force of three Essence Forces."
"If I can, I'll further refine the Canglang Blade Technique and master the fivefold strength amplification!"
"If I can achieve fivefold strength amplification, I can instantly unleash a power five times greater, allowing me to fight opponents of higher cultivation levels."
"After all, my current strength has already surpassed a thousand jin, reaching around twelve to thirteen hundred jin."
"In the Divine Strength Realm of the eighth rank of Martial Arts, ordinary experts have a strength of around two thousand jin, and the stronger ones can reach three thousand jin."
"Although they are several times stronger than me, if I can achieve fivefold strength amplification, my power will directly increase by five times or more. Combined with the amplification from the threefold limit-breaking Firewood Cleaving Blade Technique, I can instantly unleash a force of over twenty thousand jin."
At this thought, Jiang Ning couldn't help but gasp in awe.
For a human body to unleash a force of several tens of thousands of jin was indeed astonishing.
However, this seemingly exaggerated feat was actually quite normal.
In his previous life, top-tier boxers could deliver punches with a force of over sixteen hundred jin.
And how much strength did they possess? At most, their single arm could generate a few hundred jin of force.
Now, his strength was several times greater than theirs.
Moreover, in this world, martial arts were flourishing and mystical, allowing for the use of various incredible powers.
It wouldn't be excessive to unleash such force with the help of a mid-tier martial art...
