Chapter 190: Limit Break, Psychic Energy Projection!

Chapter 190: Limit Break, Psychic Energy Projection!

After lunch, Jiang Ning continued reading.

As a Deputy Commander, he had a high degree of freedom and didn't need to punch in at the Inspection Office daily like ordinary Inspector Guards.

[Script Mastery Experience +1]



[Script Mastery Experience +1]



[Script Mastery Experience +1]



[.]



As time passed, his experience in the art of Script Mastery continued to grow.

Watching the steadily increasing experience points, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

In the blink of an eye, it was past noon, and the sun was gradually setting.

[Skills]: Script Mastery + (Second Limit Break 3000/3000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses)



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

Jiang Ning saw the change on the panel and didn't hesitate for a moment. His mind stirred.

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 felt as if a cloud had been lifted, and with his eyes closed, he saw a colorful world all around him.

With a thought, countless particles invisible to the naked eye danced around him, manipulated by his will.

Then, a weed seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, transforming into a sharp sword that hovered around him.

After that, a piece of rubble slowly rose into the air.

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

After this simple test, he felt his mind become heavy, and his psychic energy was clearly overtaxed.

"Telekinesis, psychic energy projection, as if it were real!"

"With these three abilities, and according to Feng Jiuge's words, I clearly meet the conditions to use the Mustard Seed Ring."

Jiang Ning muttered to himself, his eyes scanning his panel.

[Name]: Jiang Ning

[Essence Energy]: 187.6

[Skills]: Script Mastery (Third Limit Break 0/4000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses, Quick Mind)



[Quick Mind]: Innately Quick Mind, High Comprehension, and Psychic Energy on par with ordinary people.

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

Then, his mind began to race.

In an instant, all the books and words he had read that day flashed through his mind, as if he were replaying them at ten times the speed.

"Is this the effect of Quick Mind?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

After this attempt, he came to a clear conclusion.

With the third limit break in Script Mastery and the emergence of the Quick Mind trait, his mental processing speed had increased several times compared to before.

His brain 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 the speed of his mental processing and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

"Choosing to break the limit for Script Mastery was indeed the right choice."

"Just this trait alone, which enhances comprehension, is already worth it, not to mention it also increases my psychic energy, allowing me to briefly project my psychic energy outside my body."

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

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

As his words fell, his psychic energy instantly projected out, merging with the black ring in his hand.

Jiang Ning's eyebrows furrowed as he felt a strong repelling force when his psychic energy touched the Mustard Seed Ring.

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

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

A moment later, he held a spiritual weapon and drew the sharp blade across his finger.

A flash of blood appeared instantly.

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

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

After that, his psychic energy, as if it were real, once again projected out and entered the Mustard Seed Ring.

At this moment, Jiang Ning felt the tangible barrier from before disappear without a trace, and without expending any effort, his psychic energy entered the ring.

Then, Jiang Ning also sensed an extremely intricate array pattern within the ring.

As his psychic energy infused the array, the pattern lit up, and he could see it clearly on the psychic energy level.

A moment later, as his psychic energy filled the ring, it continued to consume his energy.

When the array was completely lit up, Jiang Ning saw a brand new space from the psychic energy level.

A space that was over ten feet long, wide, and high.

"It really is a Mustard Seed 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 light flashed, and the spiritual weapon reappeared in his hand from the Mustard Seed Ring.

After several attempts, Jiang Ning quickly mastered the usage of the Mustard Seed Ring, becoming adept at using it.

"It's truly a wonderful item, so convenient!" After trying it out again, Jiang Ning stored some silver notes he was carrying into the storage ring and couldn't help but exclaim.

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

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

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

Inside the flask was a small black stone soaking in the liquid.

When soaked in any liquid, this black stone could secrete a mysterious substance.

Not only could this mysterious substance increase his experience in the skill of Enhanced Water Proficiency, but it could also enhance his innate talent.

Furthermore, it could bring him growth in Essence Energy points.

The reason for his hesitation was that he noticed the Essence Energy points on his status panel.

【Essence Energy】: 187.6

He was just under thirteen points away from breaking through the 200-point threshold.

200 points would allow him to break the limit for the fifth time in either the Firewood Chopping Blade Technique or Enhanced Water Proficiency.

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 points of Essence Energy 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 points of Essence Energy, would bring.

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

Not to mention the additional boost from the skill's attributes.

As for Enhanced Water Proficiency, it was even more mysterious.

The fourth limit break granted him a divine ability, the Cloud and Rain Incarnation.

With this divine ability, he could now summon clouds and rain, covering most of Luoshui County.

The effect of this divine ability was undoubtedly powerful!

After pondering for a moment, he quickly drank the ice-cold wine from the flask and refilled it before storing the flask in the Mustard Seed Ring.

After tidying up, Jiang Ning left.

Inspection Office.

As Jiang Ning stepped into the main entrance, he saw Ruan Hongmei hurrying towards him.

When she saw Jiang Ning, her eyes lit up.

"You've come at the right time, my lord. I was just about to visit you at your residence!"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ning stopped walking.

Ruan Hongmei said, "Lord Commander He just came looking for you. He said that Lord Hong has an important matter to discuss with you and needs you to meet him in person."

"I understand!" Jiang Ning nodded.

He set aside his previous thoughts for the moment.

Originally, he had planned to visit the dark cell in the late afternoon to see Xiao Tianhe.

According to Huang Dazheng, two Mustard Seed Rings, family heirlooms, were in their possession. One was with him, and the other was with Xiao Tianhe.

Now that the authenticity of the Mustard Seed Ring had been confirmed, he naturally wanted to obtain the one in Xiao Tianhe's possession.

After all, such a miraculous item must be extremely valuable.

However, for now, he could only put this matter aside.

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

At the Inspection Office, even as a deputy leader, he could only follow Hong Minghu's orders.

A moment later, in a pavilion.

69shu.bar

"Lord Hong!" Jiang Ning slightly cupped his hands.

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

"I'm here at your command, Lord Hong. What is the matter?" asked Jiang Ning.

Hong Minghu said, "Do you remember what I told you a few days ago, Jiang Deputy Leader?"

"What did you say, Lord Hong?"

Seeing Jiang Ning's puzzled expression, Hong Minghu grabbed a few white papers in front of him and tossed them to Jiang Ning.

In an instant, the white papers flew through the air like blades aimed at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning caught them with a raised hand and flipped through them, his eyes immediately focusing intently.

The papers listed the crimes of the Cao Manor.

Among them were smuggling iron and salt, trafficking, and taking lives without regard.

The most crucial point was that the Cao family was a base for the Idolatry Sect, and they had deep connections with the sect.

After reading, Jiang Ning turned to Hong Minghu.

"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. Anyone who resists can be killed!"

"Tonight is also the 50th birthday of the head of the Cao family, making it the perfect time to catch them all!"

"This task is perfect for you, the deputy leader born and raised in Luoshui County!"

"Moreover, Jiang Deputy Leader has a personal grudge against the Cao family. This is an excellent opportunity for you to take revenge and restore honor."

"Jiang Deputy Leader, do you accept the order?"

Seeing Hong Minghu's serious expression, Jiang Ning cupped his hands and nodded.

Hong Minghu grabbed a command token from his waist and threw it to Jiang Ning, "Take this token and go outside the city. Have Captain Wang dispatch the City Guard to assist you. There must be no mistakes in this matter!"

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

At the same time, as Jiang Ning's departing figure was seen, Ye Qiu stood up.

"Lord Governor, I'll go and remind Commander Jiang again!"

"Hmm!" Hong Minghu nodded.

At the Inspection Office.

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

"Brother Jiang!"

"Brother Ye!" Jiang Ning turned around.

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

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

"Oh, I see!" Ye Qiu suddenly realized.

Then he continued, "This is great news! Why did you refuse, Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "Lord Hong's youngest daughter is too young. How could I possibly agree to that?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu spoke with a heavy tone, "Brother Jiang, what does that matter? In Great Xia, girls can marry at the age of fourteen!"

"And if you think she's too young, Brother Jiang, you can raise her for a year or two, can't you?"

Jiang Ning shook his head slightly, "No!"

"Sigh!" Ye Qiu sighed, "Brother Jiang, your stubbornness will cause you trouble in the future! Offending Lord Hong will inevitably lead to some difficulties for you."

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

"Okay!" Ye Qiu nodded and reminded him again, "Be careful in everything! If the Evil God Sect truly has a foothold in the Cao family, you must prioritize your safety!"

"Thank you, Brother Ye, for your concern!" Jiang Ning bowed and then turned to leave.

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

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

By nature, he was more inclined to yield to gentle approaches rather than forceful ones.

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

However, since Hong Minghu chose to be forceful, he completely abandoned the idea.

Currently, Jiang Ning had achieved a level of proficiency in the Martial Way, mastering dozens of Inner Breaths and possessing the divine ability to control water and the divine power of cloud and rain.

With such an incredible system interface, why should he submit to Hong Minghu?

Giving him some time, what could Hong Minghu possibly calculate?

Meanwhile, in a pavilion.

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 exceptional beauty, and I believe that in the future, she will marry a Martial Prodigy comparable to you, Jiang Ning!"

Hearing Hong Minghu's words, Ye Qiu smiled slightly but did not respond.

Then, Ye Qiu said, "Commander Jiang, as a Celestial Prodigy with such strength and achievements at a young age, it's normal for him to have some pride!"

"If Lord Governor 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 coldly huffed, "Why should my manor bow to him?"

Outside Luoshu County.

Within a military camp.

In a large tent.

"Captain Wang!" Jiang Ning greeted the burly man with a protruding belly before him.

"I know you, Jiang Ning!" Captain Wang smiled at Jiang Ning and continued, "Wang Jin has praised you highly."

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

Captain Wang shook his head, "This is not flattery. Among the Celestial Prodigies I've seen, you rank within the top three."

Jiang Ning smiled, not being modest about this assessment.

Then, Captain Wang spoke again, "Jiang Ning, what brings you to my camp today?"

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

After a moment.

The two finished their discussion.

Captain Wang nodded, "This is no problem!"

Then, he called out, "Deputy Official Tong!"

"Present!" The tent's curtain was quickly drawn aside, revealing a burly man.

"Deputy Official Tong, accompany Commander Jiang to the City Defense Army and request their full cooperation with Commander Jiang's mission!"

"Yes, sir!" Deputy Official Tong bowed.

After giving the instructions.

Captain Wang looked at Jiang Ning seriously.

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

"Cao Rong's archery skills pose a threat comparable to a Sixth Stage Martial Dao expert!"

"Furthermore, regardless of the charges the Inspection Office levels against him, it's useless!"

"Because the military no longer accepts the jurisdiction of the Inspection Office! You cannot determine Cao Rong's guilt!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning bowed.

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

After a moment.

As Jiang Ning left the tent, Captain Wang sighed.

"Luoshu County is about to undergo changes."

"I hope the Idolatrous Sect doesn't stir up trouble within the Yellow Heaven Sect."

"Otherwise, Luoshu County will truly struggle to find peace!"
