Chapter 190: Breaking Limits, Spirit Detachment!

Chapter 190: Breaking Limits, Spirit Detachment!

After lunch, Jiang Ning continued reading.

As a deputy commander, he had a high degree of freedom and did not need to punch in at the Inspection Bureau like the ordinary patrol guards.

【Literacy Experience +1】

【Literacy Experience +1】

【Literacy Experience +1】

【.】

As time passed, his literacy skill experience kept growing.

Seeing the gradually increasing experience, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past noon, and the sun was gradually moving westward.

【Skills】: Literacy (Second Limit Break 3000/3000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses)



When the experience reached the 3000-point limit, a familiar plus sign appeared next to the literacy skill on the panel.

Jiang Ning saw the change on the panel and without hesitation, his mind moved.

In an instant, his essence energy points rapidly decreased.

Jiang Ning felt his consciousness become chaotic, as if he had entered a state of confusion.

The next moment, he opened his eyes, and with his eyes closed, he saw a colorful world around him.

With a thought, countless dust particles invisible to the naked eye suddenly surrounded him, dancing in the air and being manipulated by his will.

Then, a weed seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and transformed into a sharp sword, wandering around him.

After that, a broken stone slowly rose into the air.

A moment later, Jiang Ning opened his eyes and rubbed his forehead.

After the simple test, he felt his mind become slightly hazy, and his mental energy was obviously over-exhausted.

"Telekinesis, spirit detachment, as if it's real!"

"With these three abilities, plus my natural gift of swift mind, according to Feng Jiuge's statement, I clearly meet the conditions to use the Omnimorphic Ring."

Jiang Ning muttered to himself, and at the same time, he glanced at his panel.

【Name】: Jiang Ning

【Essence Energy】: 187.6

【Skills】: Literacy (Third Limit Break 0/4000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses, Swift Mind)



【Swift Mind】: Naturally gifted with a swift mind, high comprehension, and mental energy comparable to that of an ordinary person.

Looking at this description on the panel, Jiang Ning's expression turned thoughtful.

Then, his thoughts raced in his mind.

In an instant, all the books and words he had read that day flashed through his mind, as if in fast-forward, and he quickly recalled them.

"Is this the effect of a swift mind?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

After the test, he drew a clear conclusion.

With the third limit break of his literacy skill and the birth of the swift mind characteristic, his mind's processing speed had increased several times compared to before.

Now his mind was like an old computer that had suddenly been upgraded with a new generation processor, running at full speed.

Jiang Ning closed his eyes again to sense his mind's processing speed and couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Choosing to break the limits of literacy was indeed the right decision."

"Just this characteristic alone, which increases comprehension, is already worth it, not to mention it also enhances my mental energy, allowing me to temporarily detach my spirit for three inches."

The next moment, he took out a dark ring from his pocket.

"I hope it's as Feng Jiuge said."

As his words fell, his mental energy instantly detached and merged into the dark ring in his hand.

Immediately, Jiang Ning's eyebrows furrowed.

He felt a strong repelling force as his mental energy touched the Omnimorphic Ring.

It was as if an invisible barrier blocked his mental energy from entering.

After trying for a moment, Jiang Ning retracted his mental energy and stared at the ring in his hand.

A moment later, he held a spiritual weapon and raised its sharp blade to his finger, cutting it.

A flash of bloodlight instantly appeared.

Then, a drop of fresh blood condensed from his fingertip and fell onto the ring.

In an instant, he felt a vague connection with the ring.

After that, the tangible mental energy once again left his body and penetrated the ring.

At this moment, Jiang Ning felt the real barrier that had just been there suddenly disappear without a trace, and with no effort, his mental energy entered the ring.

Then, Jiang Ning also sensed an extremely profound array pattern inside the ring.

As his mental energy infused the array, the pattern lit up, and he saw it clearly on the mental level.

A moment later, as his mental energy continued to infuse the ring and was consumed, the entire array pattern lit up.

When it was completely lit up, Jiang Ning saw a brand new space from the mental level.

A space with a length, width, and height of more than ten feet.

"It's indeed the Omnimorphic Ring!!" Jiang Ning's expression turned joyful.

Then, a faint light flashed across his hand, and the spiritual weapon that was originally in his right hand disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, the faint light flashed, and the spiritual weapon reappeared in his hand from the Omnimorphic Ring.

After several attempts, Jiang Ning quickly mastered the use of the Narsimha Ring, becoming adept at its application.

"It's truly a wonderful item, so convenient!" Jiang Ning tried it again, storing some silver bills he was carrying into the storage ring, and couldn't help but exclaim in delight.

With this item, he suddenly realized that he no longer needed to worry about carrying miscellaneous items or weapons.

Soon, he returned to his room and placed the items he needed into the storage ring.

When he picked up the wine flask he had cherished for several days and glanced at his panel, he hesitated for a moment.

Inside the flask was a small black stone, soaking in the liquid, which could secrete a mysterious substance.

This mysterious substance not only increased his experience points in the Swimming Skill but also enhanced his innate root bone.

Furthermore, it also provided him with Essence Energy points.

The reason for his hesitation was the Essence Energy points.

【Essence Energy】: 187.6

He was less than thirteen points away from breaking through the 200-point threshold.

200 points would allow him to perform the fifth limit break for either the Firewood Cleaving Blade Technique or the Swimming Skill.

Based on the previous limit breaks, there was no doubt that the fifth limit break would significantly enhance his abilities.

However, for his current normal state, accumulating thirteen Essence Energy points would still take two to three days.

The closer he got to his goal, the more impatient he became.

He wanted to see what changes the fifth limit break, which consumed 200 Essence Energy points, would bring.

The fourth limit break of the Firewood Cleaving Blade Technique alone had allowed him to master the blade's momentum.

Not to mention the additional boost from its special attributes.

As for the Swimming Skill, it was even more miraculous.

The fourth limit break granted him a divine ability, the ability to summon clouds and rain.

With this ability, he could cover more than half of Luoshui County with clouds and rain.

The effect of this divine ability was undeniably powerful!

After a brief moment of thought, he quickly drank the ice-cold wine from the flask and refilled it before storing the flask in the storage ring.

After tidying up, Jiang Ning left the premises.

Inspection Bureau.

As Jiang Ning stepped through the main entrance, he was met by Ran Hongmei, who hurried towards him.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, her eyes lit up.

"You've arrived just in time, sir! I was just about to go to your residence to look for you!"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ning stopped in his tracks.

Ran Hongmei explained, "Captain Ye just came looking for you. He said the Lord Governor has an important matter to discuss with you and needs you to pay him a visit!"

"I understand!" Jiang Ning nodded.

He put his previous thoughts aside for the moment.

Originally, he had planned to visit the Torture Cage around dusk to meet Xiao Tianhe, as Huang Dazheng had mentioned that the family heirloom, the two Narsimha Rings, were now in their possession. One was with Huang Dazheng, and the other was with Xiao Tianhe.

Now that the authenticity of the Narsimha Ring was confirmed, he naturally wanted to obtain the one in Xiao Tianhe's possession, as such a wondrous item must be incredibly valuable.

However, for the time being, he could only put this matter aside.

Hong Minghu was looking for him, and this was the most crucial matter at hand.

Even as a deputy commander in the Inspection Bureau, he had to follow Hong Minghu's orders.

A moment later, in a pavilion.

"Lord Governor!" Jiang Ning slightly cupped his hands in greeting.

Hong Minghu stopped his conversation with Ye Qiu and turned to Jiang Ning, "You've come at the right time!"

"I don't recall the Lord Governor mentioning anything to me," Jiang Ning said.

Seeing Jiang Ning's puzzled expression, Hong Minghu grabbed a few sheets of white paper from his desk and tossed them to Jiang Ning.

In an instant, the white paper tore through the air, flying towards Jiang Ning like blades.

Jiang Ning raised his hand to catch them, and upon opening the papers, his eyes narrowed.

The papers listed the Cao Family's crimes, including smuggling salt and iron, human trafficking, and disregard for human life. The most critical accusation was that the Cao Family was a secret base for the Cult of Malevolent Gods, deeply connected to the cult.

After reading the papers, Jiang Ning turned to Hong Minghu.

Hong Minghu said, "I believe you know what I want you to do. Today, I need you to lead the capture of all 385 members of the Cao Family. Not a single one should be spared. Those who resist can be killed on the spot!"

"Tonight is also the 50th birthday of the Cao Family's head. It's the perfect time to catch them all!"

"This matter is best suited for you, the native deputy commander of Luoshui County, to handle!"

"Moreover, Deputy Commander Jiang has a personal grudge against the Cao Family. This is the perfect opportunity for him to seek revenge."

"Deputy Commander Jiang, do you accept this order?"

Seeing Hong Minghu's serious expression, Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said, "I accept the order!"

"Good!" Hong Minghu grabbed a token from his waist and tossed it to Jiang Ning, "Take this token and go to the City God Temple. Have Captain Wang dispatch the City Guard Army to assist you. There must be no mistakes in this operation!"

"Yes, sir!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands, took the token from Hong Minghu, and turned to leave.

At that moment, Ye Qiu stood up as he watched Jiang Ning's departing figure.

"Lord of the Manor, I'll go and remind Commander Jiang again!"

"Mmm!" Hong Minghu nodded.

At the Inspection Bureau.

Ye Qiu quickly caught up with Jiang Ning's footsteps.

"Younger Brother Jiang!"

"Big Brother Ye!" Jiang Ning immediately turned around.

Ye Qiu looked at Jiang Ning with a solemn expression, "Younger Brother Jiang, did you offend Lord Hong in some way?"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly and then recounted the events that had happened a few days ago.

"So that's how it is!" Ye Qiu suddenly realized.

Then he said, "This is a good thing! Why did Younger Brother Jiang refuse?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "Lord Hong's youngest daughter is too young, how can I do that?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu sighed and said, "Younger Brother Jiang, what does it matter? In Daxia, fourteen-year-olds can already get married!"

"Moreover, if Younger Brother Jiang thinks she's too young, you can raise her for a year or two, right?"

Jiang Ning shook his head slightly, "No way!"

"Sigh!" Ye Qiu sighed, "Younger Brother Jiang, your stubbornness will bring you trouble in the future! Offending Lord Hong, you'll inevitably face some difficulties."

Jiang Ning shook his head slightly and then said, "Big Brother Ye, let's stop here! I still need to gather some subordinates! We can't delay this matter tonight!"

"Good!" Ye Qiu nodded and added, "Be careful in everything! If the Evil Deity Sect really has a base in the Cao family, you must prioritize your safety!"

"Thank you for your concern, Big Brother Ye!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands and then turned to leave.

As he walked, Jiang Ning couldn't help but recall Ye Qiu's words.

After a few breaths, he smiled slightly and shook his head.

He was naturally soft-hearted but not easily swayed by force.

If Hong Minghu had approached him gently, he might have seriously considered it.

But since they chose to be forceful, he completely abandoned the idea.

Now, with his Seventh Stage of Martial Dao cultivation, he had mastered dozens of strands of Inner Breath, and with his Water Control Aura and Cloud and Rain Invocation, he was truly exceptional.

With such an incredible interface.

Why should he submit to Hong Minghu? Given some time, Hong Minghu wouldn't be able to hold him back.

At the Inspection Bureau.

Ye Qiu had just returned.

"How was it?" Hong Minghu asked.

Ye Qiu shook his head slightly, "Commander Jiang has a stubborn personality and is unwilling to yield."

"Never mind," Hong Minghu shook his head and continued, "My youngest daughter is born with a heavenly beauty, and she's so adorable. I don't believe she won't be able to marry a Martial Heaven's Pride comparable to Jiang Ning in the future!"

Hearing Hong Minghu's words, Ye Qiu smiled slightly but didn't respond.

Then, Ye Qiu said, "As a Martial Heaven's Pride, it's normal for Commander Jiang to have such strength and confidence at such a young age."

"If Lord of the Manor truly wants him as a son-in-law, why not try a gentler approach?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Minghu fell silent for a moment.

After a few breaths.

"Hmph!" Hong Minghu let out a heavy cold huff, "Why should I bow to him?"

Outside Luoshui County.

In a military camp.

Inside a large tent.

"Captain Wang!" Jiang Ning greeted the tall and robust Captain Wang, who sported a general's belly.

"I know you, Jiang Ning!" Captain Wang smiled at Jiang Ning and continued, "Wang Jin often praises you."

Jiang Ning smiled, "That's my master's kindness!"

Captain Wang shook his head, "This isn't kindness; among the Martial Heaven's Pride I've seen in my life, you rank in the top three."

Jiang Ning smiled, not being modest about this.

Then.

Captain Wang spoke again, "Jiang Ning, why did you come to my camp today?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately presented the token given by Hong Minghu and then truthfully conveyed the task assigned by Hong Minghu.

A moment later.

The two finished their discussion.

Captain Wang nodded, "No problem with this!"

Then, he called out to the outside of the tent.

"Deputy Official Tong?"

"Here!" The curtain of the tent was quickly drawn aside, revealing a similarly robust man.

"Deputy Official Tong, you and Commander Jiang, go to the City Guard Army. Have them send some men to fully cooperate with Commander Jiang!"

"Yes, sir!" Deputy Official Tong immediately cupped his hands.

After giving the instructions.

Captain Wang looked at Jiang Ning seriously.

"If you take on this task, you must be cautious of Cao Rong in the future!"

"Cao Rong's archery skills are no less threatening than a Sixth Stage of Martial Dao expert!"

"Moreover, no matter what crime the Inspection Bureau charges him with, it won't work!"

"Because the military, now can't sentence Cao Rong!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Captain Wang, for informing me of this!"

A moment later.

As Jiang Ning left the tent, Captain Wang sighed.

"Luoshui County is about to undergo a change!"

"I hope the Cult of Malevolent won't stir up trouble within the Yellow Heaven Sect."

"Otherwise, Luoshui County will truly lose its peace!"
