Chapter 184: Breaking Records
Chapter 184: Breaking Records
Jiang Cheng's gaze fell upon the panel.
【Shattered Jade Technique: Mastery (0/300,000)】
"300,000 experience points?"
Jiang Cheng was a little surprised.
It was slightly less than he had anticipated.
He did some quick calculations.
The Primal Energy Points he actively absorbed daily were still counted as 4,000.
However, due to the connection of ten acupoints, the Primal Energy Points absorbed automatically each day had increased from 1,400 to 6,500.
With this, the number of Primal Energy Points he could refine daily reached 10,500, and the experience gained daily was 15,750 points.
To fill the 300,000 experience bar would take about 20 days.
"That's acceptable," Jiang Cheng muttered.
For a Third Rank Primordial Energy Warrior with average Spirit Energy, the number of Primal Energy Points they could refine daily was far from 10,000, only around 7,000.
To connect the eleventh acupoint of the Shattered Jade Technique, one would need to consume around 220,000 Primal Energy Points.
If everything went smoothly, it would still take about a month.
The remaining nine acupoints would each require about 20,000 points more, meaning the total time needed to connect them all would be close to a year, not to mention the time spent stuck at bottlenecks.
Jiang Cheng's father had been stuck at the Third Rank for nearly a decade without breaking through.
But Jiang Cheng only needed twenty days.
If he factored in the gradual connection of acupoints, the time might be shortened by another two or three days.
After connecting these ten acupoints, only nine would remain.
Jiang Cheng estimated that it might take about forty days.
In other words, in two months, he would become a Fifth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
Two months was not a very long time, but it wasn't short either.
"If only this time could be shortened a bit more," Jiang Cheng sighed.
He thought of the large sum of money he had hidden away.
It was an unpleasant feeling to have money but not be able to use it.
There were still over ten days until the beginning of next month.
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
He glanced at the progress bar for Shattered Jade Fist on the panel.
It had already reached Mastery.
Because the cultivation time for Shattered Jade Technique had been shortened to just over six hours, and he had used the money earned from selling his courses to buy secret medicines.
This caused the progress of Shattered Jade Fist to surpass that of Shattered Jade Technique.
It was estimated that even without connecting all ten acupoints, when the progress was close to completion, Shattered Jade Fist would reach Perfection.
"Let's go and test my fist strength."
Jiang Cheng stood up.
As the saying goes, when things reach an extreme, they reverse.
Being too honest and having no hidden strengths was not a good idea.
Continuously concealing one's abilities was also not ideal.
It was necessary to occasionally demonstrate one's potential to the association.
Otherwise, before he had a chance to grow, he might be treated as cannon fodder and discarded.
He arrived at the testing hall.
There were still many people testing their fist strength or speed.
For most people here, testing was like a daily task; they couldn't go a day without it.
Jiang Cheng found a quiet corner.
A dull sound echoed.
A number appeared on the display above, 220kg.
"The casual punch I throw now is as strong as my all-out punch from before," Jiang Cheng sighed.
He exerted a bit more strength.
The number on the display gradually increased.
280kg.
310kg.
Jiang Cheng stopped, then threw out several more punches in quick succession.
The number on the screen remained within the range of 300-320kg.
For others, controlling their strength was difficult, and they often exceeded the limit with a slight lack of attention.
But for Jiang Cheng, with the help of the panel, his control over his strength was like an innate skill, and each punch, though not a perfect replication, varied only slightly.
"I really want to give it my all and land a punch."
Jiang Cheng suppressed the impulse within him.
There were surveillance cameras nearby, and if he was discovered deliberately concealing his strength, it would be awkward, not just an issue of embarrassment. The speed of this breakthrough was terrifying, making it impossible for anyone not to be suspicious.
After that, he went to the speed testing area and gradually increased his speed to the standard of a Second Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
After trying a few more times, Jiang Cheng called Bing Li.
"What's up, Bing Li?"
Bing Li's laughter could be heard over the phone.
"Brother Bing Li, are you free now? I've opened three more acupoints and have become a Second Rank Primordial Energy Warrior!"
Jiang Cheng emphasized his words, sounding especially excited.
"What?"
Bing Li on the other end of the line was taken aback.
"You, you're a Second Rank? Did you go for a test?"
"Yeah!"
Jiang Cheng laughed, "I'm in the training hall right now. I just finished testing, and my punching power is around 310 kilograms."
"Whoa."
Bing Li took a deep breath.
"You've only been in the Society for less than half a month, right? No, did you open one or two acupoints before joining?"
"I opened one or two before joining, but the rest were opened after I joined. I basically spent all the money I earned from my first mission on potions." Jiang Cheng sighed.
"No wonder."
Bing Li nodded.
With only two acupoints left and a large supply of potions to restore Spirit Energy, it was indeed possible to achieve this speed.
However, Jiang Cheng's talent was also quite good, or perhaps even exceptional.
Many people, even with tens of thousands of Spirit Nourishing Pills, would find it difficult to open two acupoints consecutively within half a month. Most would get stuck at a certain bottleneck.
"Okay, wait for me there, I'll be right over."
Bing Li hung up the phone.
He remembered what Red Tea had said.
Perhaps this kid was indeed a promising talent? After all, to have reached the First Rank in the slums was no ordinary feat.
In less than three minutes, Bing Li arrived.
Jiang Cheng didn't waste any time and walked straight to the punching power testing machine. He struck a punch with all his might.
"Bang!"
A number immediately appeared on the display: 310.
"Hmm."
Bing Li nodded slightly and said, "Try a few more punches."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Jiang Cheng threw a few more punches.
"Not bad, not bad."
Bing Li nodded in satisfaction.
His gaze towards Jiang Cheng softened considerably.
"Let's test your speed again."
A few seconds later, a number appeared on the speedometer at the finish line: 15.3 m/s.
Jiang Cheng ran a few more times, all above 15 m/s but not exceeding 15.3.
"Excellent."
Bing Li clapped his hands.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of others in the hall.
"Everyone, come over here."
He smiled at the crowd.
After everyone gathered around, he pointed at Jiang Cheng and said, "Everyone, this is Cang Hai. Within just over half a month of joining our Dawn Society, he advanced from the First Rank to the Second Rank."
"!!!"
As his words fell, everyone turned to look at Jiang Cheng.
Their eyes held surprise, envy, suspicion, and disdain.
Fortunately, many people knew Jiang Cheng and didn't want to embarrass Bing Li, so they offered their congratulations.
Bing Li also smiled at Jiang Cheng, "Canghai, you've set a record in our Society. It's rare, very rare. What do you want as a reward?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils dilated.
There was such a good opportunity?
