Chapter 15: Acquiring Essence Energy Points
Chapter 15: Acquiring Essence Energy Points
The next morning...
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Essence Energy】: 3.9
【Skills】:
Literacy (Limit Break 69/2000) (Attribute: Photographic Memory)
Five Beasts Fist (Entry 4/100)
When he opened his skill panel, he was momentarily stunned.
"Essence Energy actually increased by 0.3 in a day?"
"This is the only time in over two months that my Essence Energy growth has reached 0.3!"
"It seems my previous deduction was correct! The increase in Essence Energy is related to the energy I consumed yesterday!"
"I consumed one-tenth of a wild ginseng yesterday, along with a bowl of soup from the Martial Academy, meat, and a large amount of rice, which is why my Essence Energy increased by 0.3 in a day."
He pondered, gradually understanding the logic behind the growth of Essence Energy.
"Looks like I'll have to figure out a way to make money soon! Without money to afford tonics like wild ginseng to support my fist training, my Essence Energy growth will slow down!"
At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the phrase 'Scholarly Poverty, Martial Riches.'
Wealth was extremely important for his martial arts cultivation.

【This training session increased Five Beasts Fist Experience by 2 points.】
【Skills】: Five Beasts Fist (Entry 6/100)
"I've already reached 5% progress from Entry to Mastery in Five Beasts Fist!"
Jiang Ning clenched his fist, and Vital Energy flowed into his right hand.
"Channeling Vital Energy through one arm is called Minor Vital Energy Proficiency, and I still have a long way to go!"
A new idea suddenly popped into his mind.
He wondered what attributes Limit Breaking in Five Beasts Fist would bring. But then he shook his head slightly, "I'm getting ahead of myself! Martial Techniques also have Entry, Mastery, Minor Proficiency, Great Achievement, and Perfection. Only after reaching Perfection can one break limits. At my current rate of gaining experience in Five Beasts Fist, who knows how long it will take!"
Then, Jiang Ning approached the stone lock.
He grasped the hundred-catty stone lock with his right hand and lifted it off the ground with ease.
"It feels even lighter than last night, my physique must have improved again!"
Jiang Ning secretly relished the change in his strength.
The feeling of constant progress was addictive.
He wished he could spend all twenty-four hours a day training and grinding experience.
"Don't rush! Don't rush!" He shook his head, "Haste is counterproductive! The body's endurance has its limits! My current rate of progress is already far beyond ordinary people, and what's more, any bottlenecks are ineffective against me! This is one of my greatest advantages!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Li, who had just stepped out of the room, saw Jiang Ning lifting the stone lock to test his strength. His eyes narrowed in surprise.
His younger brother's strength seemed to have improved again, as he lifted the stone lock with even greater ease than the night before.
Jiang Ning put down the hundred-catty stone lock and approached a nearby one hundred and fifty-catty stone lock.
He exerted force with his right hand, and three corners of the stone lock lifted off the ground, but the last corner remained stubbornly on the ground.
"It seems I'm still quite far from a hundred and fifty catties of strength! It should be between one hundred and ten and one hundred and twenty catties! The initial growth of strength is indeed rapid!" Jiang Ning shook his head slightly and gave up on further strength testing.
After resting to recover his strength, he continued reading the book he had started the night before.

"Younger Brother, come and eat!"
A voice called out, and Jiang Ning stopped reading, closing the book in his hands.
【This reading session earned a total of 6 experience points.】
【Skills】: Literacy (Limit Break 75/2000) (Attribute: Photographic Memory)
"Literacy is indeed the easiest skill to gain experience in!" Jiang Ning deeply agreed.
Arriving at the main house, a steaming bowl of white porridge was already set on the wooden table, with some shredded meat floating in it.
"Younger Brother, come and eat! After you're done, I'll take you to the Martial Academy," Jiang Li skillfully served a bowl of porridge to his wife, Liu Wanwan, while speaking to Jiang Ning.
"Big Brother, are you going with me today?" Jiang Ning asked in surprise.
"Mhm!" Jiang Li nodded, "Yesterday, Xu Yunfeng followed you all the way back. Starting today, I'll send you to and from the academy. With me around, Xu Yunfeng won't dare to harm you!"
"No! Jiang Ning shook his head and continued, "If you come with me, it won't be safe for Big Sister and the two children at home."
Jiang Li confidently said, "You don't need to worry about this, Younger Brother! I've already made arrangements. There will be brothers in the government office with whom I've shared life-and-death experiences patrolling this area."
At this moment, Liu Wanwan also spoke up, "Younger Brother, you don't need to worry about us three. Your brother is, after all, a part of the government office and has an official record. Xu Yunfeng is a smart person, and smart people won't do something as reckless as breaking into a house."
"Before the year-end assessment of the government office, we three won't have any accidents, and neither will your brother. But it's different for you! Anything could happen to you on the way to and from the Martial Academy every day!"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. Moreover, whether you can become a disciple of the Martial Academy is the most important thing right now. Your achievements are linked to me and your sister-in-law, so how can we take your safety lightly in such a situation?"
Jiang Ning listened quietly to his brother and sister-in-law's words, deeply moved.
How could he not understand that their words were not something they had thought of on the spot?
His brother and sister-in-law must have talked through the night, which led to this conversation today.
He shook his head firmly again, "Brother and Sister-in-law, no need for more words. I'm going to the Martial Academy today, and I plan to stay there for an extended period."
"Can you do that?" Jiang Li asked hesitantly.
Jiang Ning shook his head, "I'm not sure if it's possible, but I want to give it a try!"
"Alright!" Jiang Li nodded decisively, "It's worth a try. If you can stay at the Martial Academy, it will definitely help with your martial arts practice, saving you from traveling back and forth every day. Moreover, it will indeed make you much safer. I'll send you to the academy, and I'll come by again in the afternoon."
"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded and didn't argue further.
After a while, they finished their breakfast.
"Big Brother, wait a moment!"
Before leaving, Jiang Ning went back to his room for a few breaths and then came out.
"Younger Brother, what did you take?" Jiang Li asked, looking at Jiang Ning's waist, which was bulging.
Jiang Ning smiled, "Just some means of self-defense!"
As he spoke, he patted his waist.
What he had there was none other than quicklime powder, often seen in historical dramas.
Quicklime powder may seem insignificant, but it's undoubtedly a valuable item in close-quarters combat.
Additionally, he carried a book with him, which he used to gain experience points in literacy during his free time from practicing martial arts.
An hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the Waveflow Martial Academy.
There were no incidents along the way.
"Let's go back!" Jiang Ning said.
"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded and then added, "I'll come by again in the afternoon."
Jiang Ning smiled, "Big Brother, don't worry. I'll make sure the Headmaster allows me to stay."
After saying this, he strode towards the entrance of the Martial Academy.
As Jiang Ning's figure disappeared into the academy, Jiang Li also turned and left.
