Chapter 119: Four Limit Breaks, Mastering the Blade!
Chapter 119: Four Limit Breaks, Mastering the Blade!
By the Luo River.
East Courtyard.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Jiang Ning had already gotten out of bed.
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Essence Energy】: 112
【Skills】:
Book Knowledge Mastery (Secondary Limit Break 1043/3000) (Characteristics: Memorize at a Glance, Extraordinary Senses)
Five Beasts Fist (Perfection 787/1000)
Enhanced Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Tertiary Limit Break 4000/4000) (Characteristics: Broad Understanding, Blade Like Gale, Blade Divine Operation)
Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique (Proficiency 1061/2000)
Canglang Blade Technique (Major Mastery 48/1000)
Indestructible Body Technique (Proficiency 0/2000)
Water Proficiency (Primary Limit Break 187/2000) (Characteristics: Underwater Breathing)
"One hundred and twelve Essence Points?"
Looking at the changes on his panel, Jiang Ning grinned.
Awesome!!!
In one day, I gained more than thirty Essence Points.
No wonder it's a fifty-year-old Blood Lotus, the effect is so worth it!!!
Yesterday's gains were equivalent to a month's accumulation for me.
After that.
Jiang Ning stood by the bed, clenching his fists again.
Vital Energy circulated within his body.
"Moreover, after refining the Blood Lotus yesterday, my Vital Energy has increased by more than three hundred strands, raising my total Vital Energy by more than half."
"This is almost equivalent to a day and a half of my full-power fist training."
"This effect is so worth it!!"
"No wonder it's worth eight hundred talents of gold."
Jiang Ning marveled inwardly.
Although the eight-hundred-talent Blood Lotus was absorbed by him, it seemed to be equivalent to only a day and a half of his training, and the cost-effectiveness was not high, far inferior to slowly absorbing and refining Vital Energy Pills.
But it couldn't be calculated that way.
Time is the most precious.
Especially for him, it is even more so.
The next moment.
Boom—
He raised his hand and punched the empty space in front of him.
The air suddenly exploded, emitting a clear and audible rumble.
And my strength has obviously increased significantly.
It is estimated to be between one thousand two hundred and one thousand three hundred jin.
With such force, even an ordinary Refine Skin Minor Mastery practitioner would be far inferior.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction.
An ordinary Refine Skin Minor Mastery practitioner has a force of about eight hundred jin.
Even a Refine Skin Major Mastery practitioner only has a force of one thousand jin.
As for himself, still at Refine Skin Minor Mastery, with a skin layer as hard as stone, he already has a force of one thousand two hundred to one thousand three hundred jin.
This is a full four to five hundred jin more than a warrior of the same level.
Such a gap, when fighting, is no different than an adult beating up a child.
Even those Refine Skin Major Mastery experts, like Feng Tou, Jiang Li's former superior, and Cao Bin, the capturer, only have a force of one thousand jin.
He surpasses them by two to three times in force, which is a complete suppression.
Not to mention that he has also mastered the Canglang Blade Technique at the Major Mastery level, which can easily add three layers of power, resulting in a powerful surge.
With his skill in exerting force, a single strike can unleash at least seven to eight thousand jin of force.
Adding another three layers of power, it becomes more than twenty thousand jin.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning once again gained a clear understanding of his strength.
His current strength allows him to continuously unleash more than twenty thousand jin of force with each strike.
Blade after blade, the force is relentless, reaching a level beyond human capabilities.
In his past life, no one could have imagined that a human's flesh and blood could unleash such terrifying force.
It is worth noting that the renowned boxing champion in his previous life could only unleash a force of one thousand six hundred jin with a single punch.
At this moment, Jiang Ning, without exerting his full strength, can unleash a force several times beyond the human limit.
This force has surpassed the explosive power of a speeding car.
At this moment, Jiang Ning further realizes the extent of his strength.
If he were to bring this strength back to his previous life, although he might not become a national hero, he could be called a superhuman.
Then.
Jiang Ning thought of Tian Buyi in the lake yesterday.
When he was breaking the human body's limitations, his strength increased by three to five hundred jin, and with the addition of a four-layer power surge.
Even with the resistance of water, each strike still had a force of nearly thirty thousand jin. However, four consecutive strikes on Tian Buyi's palm failed to cause significant harm.
If not for Tian Buyi's internal injuries, Jiang Ning doubted whether the impact of his four strikes could have caused much harm to Tian Buyi's internal organs.
Not to mention slaying Tian Buyi with his blade.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but yearn, his heart whispering.
"If an Eighth Stage Martial Artist like Tian Buyi is so powerful, then what about the legendary Martial Sage? Could he move mountains?"
"That's not martial arts anymore; it's clearly supernatural!"
"If I could take another step forward, could I pluck stars and grab the moon?"
"No wonder that Martial Sage lived for a thousand years before his time was up."
"There's not much difference from the mythical immortal deities."
After Jiang Ning finished washing up, he stepped into the courtyard.
As the cool breeze from the lake brushed past him, the excitement in his heart suddenly dissipated.
Then he looked at his panel again.
【Essence Energy】: 112
【Skills】: Enhanced Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Tertiary Limit Break 4000/4000) (Characteristics: Broad Understanding, Blade Like Gale, Blade Divine Operation)
As his Essence Energy broke through the 100-point threshold, a familiar plus sign appeared after the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
This indicated that his Firewood Splitting Blade Technique could be further enhanced, achieving a fourth limit break.
This aligned perfectly with his previous conjecture; the previous limit break for the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique required fifty Essence Points.
So, for this limit break of the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique, one hundred Essence Energy points are required.
This is reasonable.
However, at this moment, a hint of hesitation arises in his mind.
With his current efficiency, accumulating one hundred Essence Energy points is not an easy task.
It will take more than a month to achieve.
With so much accumulation, is it worth it for a Firewood Splitting Blade Technique with unclear effects?
He ponders this question.
After several moments of contemplation, his gaze becomes resolute.
"There's no worth or unworth, only need or no need," Jiang Ning mutters to himself.
In his current perspective, transforming resources into personal strength is the top priority.
Hoarding resources without utilizing them is pointless.
After making his decision, a sudden idea flashes across his mind.
In an instant, the Essence Energy points on the panel rapidly deplete.
In the blink of an eye, only a fraction remains.
[Essence Energy]: 1
Jiang Ning abruptly closes his eyes, as a vast amount of insights surge within his mind.
These insights are all related to the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
One slash after another, countless images of blades form in his mind.
As he observes these images, he seems to enter a mystical state, countless gleams of insight flash by, and countless realizations surge towards his mind.
699
Time seems to pass slowly, yet also feels like a fleeting moment.
Countless blade images gather in his mind, eventually merging into a single, swift as lightning and powerful as thunder, forming a single strike.
The next moment, Jiang Ning abruptly opens his eyes.
With a swift movement, he leaps forward, crossing several feet to reach the wooden stand where the blade is placed.
Swish—
As he draws the blade, a clear, crisp tremor resonates.
He taps his toes, and his entire body surges forward like a gust of wind, rushing out of the house.
At this moment, countless insights accumulate in his mind, all related to that swift and thunderous strike.
He yearns to execute this strike.
Jiang Ning knows that only by executing this strike will he truly master it.
Stepping into the courtyard, the cool breeze from Luo Water Lake brushes past him, cooling the heat within his heart.
He closes his eyes again.
In his mind, he replays the scene from earlier.
After a few moments, he abruptly opens his eyes.
In the cool morning light, his eyes seem to emit a sudden, bright glow.
He holds the blade and slashes.
In an instant, everything around Jiang Ning seems to slow down.
Time seems to have slowed down by at least tenfold.
Everything moves at an incredibly slow pace.
Two falling leaves, three feet in front of him, drift leisurely in the air.
Grass clippings, carried by the wind from Luo Water Lake, move with extreme slowness, almost as if they were frozen in time.
At this very moment, the strike he executes seems to slow down as well.
The leisurely slash tears through the air, slicing through a falling leaf.
Chi—
As the blade's momentum reaches its peak, it abruptly stops in mid-air.
The blade trembles, bearing the brunt of Jiang Ning's powerful strike.
A nearly four-foot-long, clear blade mark appears on the ground.
Along the way, grass blades snap, as if cut by an invisible blade.
As the blade's momentum subsides, the mystical scene Jiang Ning witnessed returns to normal.
Jiang Ning is taken aback, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Blade Momentum?"
"This is Blade Momentum!!!"
He becomes incredibly certain.
"I've actually mastered Blade Momentum!!!"
He is overjoyed, his eyes brimming with delight.
The limit-breaking of the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique brings him a surprise beyond his expectations.
He never anticipated that he would be able to master Blade Momentum.
According to Jiang Ning's understanding, even those at the seventh stage of the Martial Dao might not necessarily grasp the concept of momentum.
Yet, at the ninth stage, he has already mastered a type of momentum—Blade Momentum.
Momentum is an extremely profound and mystical force.
Under the influence of Blade Momentum, one can only endure, unable to dodge.
Subsequently, he examines his panel.
[Firewood Splitting Blade Technique] (4 Limit-Breaks 5000/5000) (Characteristics: Broad Understanding, Blade as Swift Wind, Divine Blade Operation, Blade and User as One)
[Blade and User as One]: Possesses an innate harmony with blades, allowing any blade held to achieve its optimal state.
Observing this new characteristic, Jiang Ning mutters to himself.
"No wonder I couldn't sense any changes; this is the effect!"
"Blade and User as One, on the surface, seems like a regular effect!"
"At least, from now on, when I switch to a new blade, I can achieve its optimal state without familiarization."
He glances at the blade in his hand.
The blade's edge shows obvious signs of wear and tear.
It's evident that this blade can no longer withstand the rigors of his battles.
Especially after yesterday's underwater confrontation with Tian Tian, the blade has endured significant stress.
The blade's edge has developed cracks due to the strain.
"It's time for a new blade!"
"This hundred-forged fine iron longsword can no longer withstand my current power!"
