Chapter 125: Breaking the Limit of Five Beasts Fist

Chapter 125: Breaking the Limit of Five Beasts Fist

Upon returning from the Martial Hall, Jiang Ning also learned of Wang Jin's arrangement.

In three days, he would have to pay a visit to the Martial Hall.

On that day, Wang Jin will make a grand announcement, inviting all prominent figures to witness the five personal disciples he has accepted.

Jiang Ning is one of them.

However, before that, he still needs to settle things with Xiao Peng.

Because in these recent days, Xiao Peng has also met the requirements that Wang Jin had previously announced.

Jiang Ning didn't take this matter to heart.

It seemed perfectly normal to him that Xiao Peng would challenge him.

Everyone knew that joining the Inspection Bureau was an opportunity, a chance to change one's destiny.

Since Xiao Peng had fulfilled the conditions Wang Jin had set, he would surely come to compete with Jiang Ning.

Regardless of the size of the opportunity, anyone would fight for it, and that was perfectly normal.

At that time, Jiang Ning just needed to show his superiority over Xiao Peng.

In Jiang Ning's eyes, this matter was merely a minor interlude.

Compared to this, he was more concerned about another matter.

According to Wang Jin, the grand figure from the capital of Guangning Prefecture would arrive in Luoshui County tomorrow.

This person was truly a prominent figure, the future governor of the Luoshui County Inspection Bureau.

He would hold real power, with the authority over life and death.

From the highest officials to the common folk, all would be subject to his emergency powers, a privilege to act first and report later.

He had heard a brief mention of this from Director Han.

The arrival of this matter would undoubtedly be like a heavy stone dropped into the water for Luoshui County.

"That's a true overlord!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Then he added, "But this matter concerns those big shots, the local tyrants."

"For me now, the key is to focus on improving my strength."

"There's only slightly over ten days until the opening of the Inspection Bureau, and I must strive to further enhance my strength during this time!"

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Jiang Ning walked through the corridor and pushed open the door to the Eastern Courtyard.

A moment later.

Eastern Courtyard.

Jiang Ning stood in place, his eyes slightly closed.

The lake surface rose from the Luoshui River, blowing over the chaotic beach, and across his face, his long black hair dancing in the wind.

Having come to this world, Jiang Ning naturally followed the local customs, and he didn't cut his long hair.

At most, he would casually tie it up, but at this moment, it was a bit messy in the lake breeze.

As he used his spiritual power for introspection, Jiang Ning saw the Bull Demon Strength Fruit in his stomach that was not yet fully digested.

"There's about three-tenths of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit left," he opened his eyes and thought to himself.

Then he continued, "According to Director Han, one Bull Demon Strength Fruit can temper muscle strength and increase my strength by a hundred pounds."

"After digesting three, my strength will increase by three hundred pounds."

"Today, I'll focus on transporting my energy to refine the remaining Bull Demon Strength Fruit, and if all goes well, my Essence Energy points will surely surge tomorrow."

Jiang Ning directly found a clean rock and sat cross-legged.

Then he circulated his force, transporting his vital energy.

In an instant.

The power of his vital energy began to boil, and his body temperature rose rapidly.

Under the dual catalysis, Jiang Ning instantly felt his digestive ability greatly enhanced.

The remnants of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit in his stomach were quickly digested by his stomach, suddenly releasing a vast medicinal power.

This medicinal power merged into his limbs and bones, flowing into his 639 muscles throughout his body.

His muscles, under the effect of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit, tightened, sending waves of pain.

At the same time, his force also circulated within his muscles.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

Then he stood up from the rock.

He clenched his fist, and the muscles in his arm instantly released a powerful force.

"What Director Han said is indeed true," he said. "My strength has increased by almost one-tenth compared to yesterday."

"It's not far from the claim of a hundred pounds, and these eight hundred and forty taels of silver were well spent!"

Jiang Ning felt the changes within his body, and his expression showed a hint of joy.

The effect of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit was indeed miraculous. Although it came from Director Han of the Wan Hua Tower, Jiang Ning still had some doubts.

"I still have two Bull Demon Strength Fruits. After refining them, my strength will increase by three hundred pounds in total."

"In other words, those two thousand four hundred taels of silver can increase my strength by nearly three-tenths in just one day."

"Is this the power of wealth?" Jiang Ning asked himself.

At this moment.

He more clearly experienced the power of wealth.

"The help of wealth in the martial path is indeed immense!" He couldn't help but exclaim, then continued muttering, "It's no wonder that the top-tier sects and the descendants of noble families have an abundant supply of resources, and their martial progress is so rapid."

"No wonder that even with my previous rapid martial progress, neither Wang Jin nor Lin Qingshan showed too much surprise."

"There must be people in this world whose martial progress is much faster than mine."

After a brief sigh, Jiang Ning encouraged himself and didn't belittle his own abilities.

He knew his true advantage was the incredible panel before his eyes.

Jiang Ning:

Essence Energy: 37.8

Skills:

Literary Proficiency (Secondary Breaking the Limit 1133/3000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses)



Five Beasts Fist (Perfect 1000/1000)



Firewood Cleaving Blade Technique (Quadruple Breaking the Limit 5000/5000) (Characteristics: Lateral Thinking, Swift Blade, Divine Blade Control, Blade and Person as One)



Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique (Proficiency 1243/2000)



River Wave Blade Technique (Great Mastery 48/1000)



Invincible Body (Intermediate Mastery 266/2000)



Water Proficiency (Primary Breaking the Limit 187/2000) (Characteristics: Underwater Breathing)

Jiang Ning muttered to himself, "I hope that after digesting these three Bull Demon Strength Fruits today, my Essence Energy points will break through a hundred points tomorrow."

He then took out a Bull Demon Strength Fruit wrapped in a thin membrane.

He asked Jiang Li to put away the Golden Body Soup package, but he kept the Bull Demon Strength Fruit with him.

After all, these Spirit Fruits were not very big, each only the size of an egg, making them easy to carry.

The next moment, he tore off the membrane covering the Spirit Fruit.

Then, he directly tossed the Bull Demon Strength Fruit into his mouth.

His jaws moved, and the fruit juice exploded in his mouth.

As he chewed for a moment, his throat pulsated, and the fruit residue quickly settled in his stomach.

Thus, he began to circulate his Qi and Blood, aiding in the digestion and absorption of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit.

The moonlight was hazy.

Tonight, the night sky was filled with clouds, hiding the stars, and the bright moon was intermittently visible.

"Success!"

Jiang Ning's expression brightened, and he opened his eyes.

He then stood up and clenched his right fist, immediately feeling the surging power within his right arm.

With his previous breakthrough in Scholarly Skills and the enhancement of his mental power, along with the extraordinary effects of his Enhanced Senses, Jiang Ning had achieved an extremely high level of control over his body, allowing him to perceive even the slightest changes.

Therefore, at this moment, he was well aware of the improvement in his muscle resilience and strength, which had increased his power significantly.

His strength had increased by about threefold.

As Han Hongmei had mentioned, the three hundred jin of strength was just right, neither more nor less, according to his perception of his body.

The next moment, he raised his hand and unleashed a powerful strike towards the air in front of him.

With a force of one thousand six hundred jin, the terrifying burst of power instantly created a clear sound in the air.

"So exhilarating!"

Feeling the power he now possessed, Jiang Ning was extremely exhilarated.

Within a day, his strength had increased by threefold.

This explosive growth brought him immense stimulation.

"Even a beginner at the Eighth Stage Martial Dao would only have this much power!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't too late and he wasn't feeling particularly sleepy, he started practicing his punches in the courtyard.

The next day, as his biological clock rang, Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

He sat up, rubbing his cheeks.

The remaining sleepiness in his heart instantly dissipated.

After fully waking up, he immediately opened his panel and took a look.

[Essence Energy]: 110.5

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning's gaze froze.

"I clearly remember having 37.8 Essence Energy points yesterday, and today it has become 110.5."

"A surge of 72.7 Essence Energy points in a single day, and the Bull Demon Strength Fruit actually provides more Essence Energy points than fifty years' worth of Blood Lotus?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

He had been worried the day before that even after refining three Bull Demon Strength Fruits, his Essence Energy points might not break a hundred today.

Now it seemed that he had underestimated the energy contained within these Spirit Fruits.

It even surpassed the Blood Lotus.

Each Bull Demon Strength Fruit provided an increase of about twenty-three to four points in Essence Energy.

The next moment, his gaze shifted downward.

[Skill]: Five Animal Fist + (Perfect 1000/1000)



"Indeed, there's a plus sign, and this fist technique can also be broken through."

Jiang Ning's expression brightened.

Huff—

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, suppressing his slightly agitated heart.

The Five Animal Fist was his first entry-level technique and met the requirements for breaking through.

His intuition told him that the characteristics of breaking through this skill would be different from before.

After a few breaths, his divine sense stirred.

Essence Energy points suddenly plummeted, and the numbers rapidly dropped.

[Essence Energy]: 10.5

The numbers stopped dropping at this point.

In an instant, Jiang Ning involuntarily closed his eyes, entering a mysterious state.

He saw five colors—red, black, white, yellow, and blue—slowly gathering at his chest.

These five colors were scattered throughout the corners of the world, some thin and some thick.

At this moment, Jiang Ning, with his eyes closed, his vision pitch-black, felt as if he were in the boundless, dark universe, surrounded by countless stars.

He had no sense of direction, not knowing east from west or north from south.

However, dots of light in the five colors—red, black, white, yellow, and blue—were gathering towards him from all directions.

As the red light dots entered his body, he felt a slight warmth.

As the black light dots entered, he felt a hint of coolness.

As the white light dots entered, he felt a hint of sharpness.

As the yellow light dots entered, he felt a hint of heaviness.

As the blue light dots entered, he felt a hint of vitality.

Were these the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?

Upon witnessing this scene, Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

At this moment, although his heart was filled with countless questions, he dared not have any distractions.

He knew that this experience would undoubtedly bring great benefits to his future.
