Chapter 27: Tiger Strength
Chapter 27: Tiger Strength
Under the moonlight, Jiang Ning began his fist technique practice."
This time, his movements were significantly slower than his usual practice of the Five Animal Fist.
However, Wang Jin, upon witnessing this, was slightly taken aback.
Jiang Ning's muscle fibers were undergoing a transformation, seemingly mimicking the powerful forces flowing within his own body.
It's worth noting that only by reaching perfection in the Five Animal Fist can one achieve a harmonious control of strength, a force so destructive upon physical contact.
In certain situations, the martial rank does not necessarily reflect the actual combat prowess.
A martial artist with complete mastery of vital energy, flowing through their limbs, who has practiced a technique to the level of understanding strength, can, with their formidable strength, engage in several rounds of combat with a novice ranked martial artist without being at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, if one achieves perfection in vital energy, flowing throughout their body, they can dominate a novice ranked martial artist in combat.
Additionally, some with extraordinary talents, like those born with divine strength, can reach a thousand-pound force upon achieving perfection in vital energy, equivalent to twice the strength of a typical martial artist of the same level. These gifted individuals can also overpower novice-ranked martial artists.
One force to subdue ten, it's no different.
Any lower-tier martial art technique, upon reaching perfection, can allow one to grasp strength.
This is the ranking system for lower-tier techniques.
The Five Animal Fist, with all five forms perfected, can give birth to Tiger Strength, White Monkey Strength, Savage Bear Strength, Soaring Crane Strength, and Agile Deer Strength.
Among these, Tiger Strength is the most formidable. Upon physical contact, it inflicts devastating damage, shattering muscles, bones, and flesh.
This is why he specifically brought a ferocious tiger and placed it in an iron cage for his disciples to observe. He hopes that someone with exceptional comprehension can, in a moment of insight, grasp the perfected Tiger Form Fist, reaching perfection in the Fist Technique and instantly mastering Tiger Strength.
Those who have mastered strength and those who haven't can be said to be on different levels.
He, too, relied on the various strengths of the Five Animal Fist flowing within his body, driving the changes in his muscle texture, to demonstrate the essence of minor mastery in Fist Technique.
As for whether Jiang Ning could gain any insights, he didn't hold high expectations.
If the Five Animal Fist were that easy to comprehend, then in the two to three years since he opened the martial arts hall, he wouldn't have just a few direct disciples.
Most of the apprentices who joined the martial arts hall would typically leave after six months.
At this moment, as Wang Jin pondered, Jiang Ning finished a round of fist technique.
[Five Animal Fist Experience +1]
"How is it?" Wang Jin asked.
"I have some insights!" Jiang Ning replied. "I want to try again!"
After speaking, he took a deep breath and practiced the fist technique once more.
This time, instead of recalling the images in his mind, he practiced based on his own understanding.
After releasing his hold, Jiang Ning, based on the insights from the previous round, felt something different.
In the darkness, he seemed to grasp some insights about the balance of hardness and softness.
The force flowed harmoniously, and the Tiger Form Fist, after building up power, gave him a sense of unrestrained force release.
After an incense stick's worth of time.
Jiang Ning stopped his fist technique.
[Five Animal Fist Experience +2]
[Skill]: Five Animal Fist (Proficiency 17/200)
Looking at the prompt in front of him.
"It seems my comprehension is barely passable, at best grasping some superficial aspects of minor mastery."
At this moment, Jiang Ning was clear that although he gained two points of experience from practicing this round of the fist technique.
It didn't mean he had comprehended the essence of the Five Animal Fist's minor mastery.
In his estimation, if he truly grasped the essence of the Five Animal Fist, he could achieve the balance of hardness and softness in the Tiger Form Fist, and the Bear Form Fist could be both steady and agile.
He could also make the Ape Form Fist nimble and flexible, with unpredictable movements. The Deer Form Fist could combine motion and stillness, and the Crane Form Fist could soar into the clouds, with the heart leading the body in perfect harmony.
If he could achieve these five aspects, then with just one round of practice, his experience would immediately surge by 185 points, and he would reach minor mastery in the Five Animal Fist.
"This is not just about gaining a mere two points of experience now." Jiang Ning's heart mocked himself.
"But if I think about it, I'm being a bit greedy!" His mood shifted to joy, and he was pleased with this new discovery.
His previous speculation was confirmed; Wang Jin's guidance in Five Beasts Fist would help improve the efficiency of his experience gain in the Liver skill.
Jiang Ning clenched his fist, feeling a surge of excitement.
Although this additional experience point was only for this particular Fist Technique, it validated his hypothesis and opened up a new path—a more efficient way to gain experience.
He felt that as long as he could find and stabilize his understanding of the Five Beasts Fist before reaching Minor Mastery, the efficiency of his experience gain would double.
If he could further comprehend other Fist Techniques, the efficiency of experience gain would increase even more.
The correct version is available on the 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar.
At that moment, Wang Jin nodded slightly.
"I can see that you've gained some insights," he said.
Jiang Ning nodded, "Yes, I've gained some understanding."
"In fact, the best way to improve in Five Beasts Fist is to observe the movements and fighting styles of the Tiger, Bear, Monkey, Crane, and Deer. After all, this Fist Technique is derived from the actions and demeanor of the five beasts," Wang Jin explained.
"In eight days, the tiger in the courtyard will be released to fight with people. You can go and observe it carefully. This will greatly help you when you enter the Tiger Form Fist and strive for Mastery, even Perfection," Wang Jin added.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up.
Even without considering other factors, as long as he mastered the form and spirit of the Tiger Form Fist, the efficiency of his experience gain in Five Beasts Fist would not only be maintained until Minor Mastery but would also increase exponentially before reaching Mastery.
In the future, before entering Mastery, he would gain multiple times the experience with each practice of the Fist Technique.
If he could achieve this, then before reaching Mastery in Five Beasts Fist, each practice would increase his experience by two points, effectively doubling his efficiency.
Although gaining experience did not directly increase the efficiency of Vital Energy refinement, the Fist Technique he had just practiced increased his experience by two points, but his Vital Energy did not double. It remained the same as before, refining only two strands of Vital Energy.
However, this was not a problem. As long as his efficiency in gaining experience through the Fist Technique increased, his breakthrough would come faster.
After all, for Jiang Ning, there was no concept of bottlenecks; as long as he filled up his experience bar, he could break through smoothly.
The Entry-level Five Beasts Fist could refine one strand of Vital Energy per practice, while the Proficiency-level Five Beasts Fist could refine two strands, doubling the efficiency.
It was easy to imagine that the efficiency of Vital Energy refinement would be even higher after reaching Minor Mastery.
Similarly, the Mastery-level Five Beasts Fist would also increase the efficiency of Vital Energy refinement.
The efficiency of Vital Energy refinement at the Mastery level would undoubtedly surpass the current level.
With this, the likelihood of Jiang Ning achieving the rank of Patrol Inspector within three months would greatly increase.
Jiang Ning felt a surge of excitement.
Wang Jin nodded in satisfaction, observing Jiang Ning's expression.
"Well done! To advance boldly in Martial Arts, one must have confidence and vigor!" Wang Jin exclaimed.
Jiang Ning snapped back to attention and bowed respectfully.
"Disciple thanks Master for his guidance!"
Wang Jin laughed heartily, "Don't waste time with these formalities! Focus on practicing the Fist, and strive to reach Mastery. That's the best way to show your gratitude. Only then will we have a true Master-Disciple connection. Although you may have missed the best opportunity to enter the Patrol Inspectorate, if you can pass my test, I will impart all my knowledge and skills. Your future achievements may even surpass mine."
Jiang Ning smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
