Chapter 15: Acquiring Source Points
Chapter 15: Acquiring Source Points
The next morning, Jiang Ning woke up early.
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Source Points】: 3
【Skills】:
Calligraphy and Literacy (1st Breakthrough 69/2000) (Specialty: Photographic Memory)
Five Animal Fist (Entry Level 4/100)
As he opened his status panel, he was momentarily stunned.
"Source Points actually increased by 0.3 in a day?"
"This is the first time in over two months that I've seen a 0.3 increase in Source Points!"
"It seems my previous deduction was correct! The growth of Source Points is related to the energy I consumed yesterday."
"I consumed one-tenth of a wild ginseng, drank a bowl of soup from the Martial Academy, ate meat, and had a large amount of rice. That's why I was able to increase Source Points by 0.3 in a day."
He pondered, gradually understanding the logic behind the growth of Source Points.
"It looks like I'll have to find a way to make money soon! Without money and nourishing tonics like wild ginseng to support my fist training, the growth of Source Points will also be slow!"
At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the phrase 'poor in academics, rich in martial arts'.
Wealth was extremely important for his martial arts training!

【After this training session, Five Animal Fist Experience increased by a total of 2 points.】
【Skills】: Five Animal Fist (Entry Level 6/100)
"I've reached 5% progress in the Entry Level of Five Animal Fist!"
Jiang Ning clenched his fist, and Vital Energy flowed into his right fist.
"Reaching Vital Energy Flow Through One Arm is called Minor Mastery of Vital Energy. I still have a long way to go!"
A new thought suddenly popped into his mind.
He wondered what kind of specialty the breakthrough in Five Animal Fist would bring. "I'm thinking too much! Martial Arts Techniques also have Entry Level, Proficiency, Minor Mastery, Mastery, and Perfect Realm. Only after reaching Perfect Realm can there be a breakthrough. With the current efficiency of gaining experience in Five Animal Fist, who knows how long it will take!"
Then, Jiang Ning approached the stone lock.
He grabbed the hundred-catty stone lock with his right hand, and it lifted off the ground with ease.
"It feels even lighter than last night. My physique must have improved a bit more!"
Feeling the change in strength, Jiang Ning secretly rejoiced.
The feeling of constant progress was somewhat addictive.
He wished he could spend all 24 hours of the day practicing his fists and grinding experience.
"No rush! No rush!!" He shook his head, "Haste makes waste. My body's endurance is limited. My progress speed is already far beyond that of ordinary people. Moreover, any bottlenecks are ineffective against me, and that's one of my greatest advantages!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Li, who had just stepped out of the room, witnessed Jiang Ning testing his strength by lifting the stone lock. His eyes narrowed, and a hint of surprise flashed across them.
His younger brother's strength seemed to have improved again, and he lifted the stone lock with even greater ease than the night before.
At that moment, 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 instantly lifted off the ground, but the last corner remained stuck to the floor.
"It seems I'm still a bit short of one-hundred-and-fifty catties of strength! It should be between one-hundred-and-ten and one-hundred-and-twenty catties! As expected, the growth of strength in the early stages is indeed slow." Jiang Ning shook his head slightly and gave up on further testing his strength.
Afterward, he took a break to recover and continued reading the book he hadn't finished the night before.

"Jiang Ning, come and eat!"
A voice called out, and Jiang Ning stopped reading, closing the book in his hands.
【After reading the book, a total of 6 experience points were gained.】
【Skills】: Calligraphy and Literacy (1st Breakthrough 75/2000) (Specialty: Photographic Memory)
"Gaining experience in Calligraphy and Literacy is indeed straightforward!" Jiang Ning deeply understood.
Arriving at the Main House, a steaming bowl of congee with floating shreds of meat was already set on the wooden table.
"Little Brother, eat up! After you're done, I'll take you to the Martial Academy," Jiang Li skillfully served a bowl of congee to his wife, Liu Wanwan, and spoke to Jiang Ning.
"Big Brother, are you going with me today?" Jiang Ning asked, a bit surprised.
"Yes!" Jiang Li nodded. "Yesterday, Xu Yunfeng followed you all the way back. Starting today, I'll escort you to and from the academy. With me around, Xu Yunfeng won't dare to lay a hand on you!"
"No! Jiang Ning shook his head and continued, "If you come with me, then Elder Sister and the two kids won't be safe at home."
Jiang Li confidently replied, "Don't worry about that, Little Brother! I've already made arrangements. There will be brothers with whom I've sworn brotherhood patrolling this area from the Government Office."
Liu Wanwan also spoke up, "Little Brother-in-Law, you don't need to worry about us three. Your brother, after all, is a registered official at the Government Office. Xu Yunfeng is a smart man; he wouldn't dare do something as foolish as breaking into a residence!"
"Before the end-of-year examination at the Government Office, nothing unexpected will happen to us three. Your brother won't encounter any accidents either. It's only you who might face uncertainties on your daily trips to and from the Martial Academy!"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. Moreover, Little Brother, whether you can become a disciple of the Martial Academy is the most important thing right now. Your success is linked to me and your sister-in-law. In such a situation, how can we take your safety lightly?"
Jiang Ning listened quietly to his brother and sister-in-law's words, his heart deeply touched.
He couldn't help but understand that their words were not spur-of-the-moment.
His brother and sister-in-law must have talked through the night to have such a conversation today.
Jiang Ning shook his head firmly, "Big Brother, Sister-in-Law, there's no need for more words. Today, I'm going to the Martial Academy, and I plan to stay there for an extended period!"
"Stay at the Martial Academy?" Jiang Li suddenly raised his head.
Jiang Ning nodded, "Yes, I plan to ask Master Wang Jin for some work and stay at the academy for a while."
"Is that possible?" Jiang Li hesitated.
Jiang Ning also shook his head, "I'm not sure if it's possible, but I want to give it a try!"
"Then let's do it!" Jiang Li nodded decisively. "It's worth a try. If I can stay at the Martial Academy, it will definitely help your training. You won't have to travel back and forth daily, and it will indeed make you much safer. I'll take you to the academy again later."
"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded and didn't argue further.
After a moment, they finished their breakfast.
"Big Brother, wait a moment."
Before leaving, Jiang Ning went back into the room and came out again after just a few breaths.
"Little Brother, what did you take?" Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ning's waist, which was bulging.
Jiang Ning smiled, "Just some self-defense measures!"
As he spoke, he patted his waist.
What he had there was none other than the lime powder often seen in movies and TV shows from his past life.
Lime powder might seem insignificant, but in close combat, it was undoubtedly a valuable asset.
Additionally, Jiang Ning carried a book with him, which he planned to use to gain experience points in calligraphy and literacy during his free time at the Martial Academy.
An hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the Canglang Martial Academy without any incidents along the way.
"Let's go back!" Jiang Ning suggested.
"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded and then added, "I'll come back again this afternoon."
Jiang Ning smiled, "Big Brother, don't worry! I'll make sure the academy head keeps me."
After saying this, he strode towards the entrance of the Canglang Martial Academy.
Watching Jiang Ning's figure disappear into the academy, Jiang Li also turned and left.
The next chapter will be released at 8 PM.
