Chapter 27: Tiger Vigor

Chapter 27: Tiger Vigor

Under the moonlight, Jiang Ning began his fist practice.

This time, his movements were much slower than when he usually practiced the Five Beasts Fist.

However, upon seeing this, Wang Jin was slightly surprised.

Jiang Ning's muscle texture was changing, as if mimicking the vigor that had just flowed through his body.

It was common knowledge that only when the Five Beasts Fist reached perfection could one freely control and unleash this power, and its destructive force was immense upon physical contact.

In certain situations, the martial rank did not necessarily represent the actual combat strength of a martial artist.

Once a martial artist with Qi and Blood Mastery, whose power coursed through their limbs, mastered the control of vigor, they could hold their own against a beginner-ranked martial artist for several rounds, relying on the dominance of their vigor.

If they reached the realm of Qi and Blood Perfection, with power coursing through their entire body, they could even dominate a beginner-ranked martial artist.

Additionally, those with extraordinary talents, such as those born with divine strength, could achieve a thousand-jin force upon reaching Qi and Blood Perfection, equivalent to twice the strength of a martial artist of the same level. These gifted individuals could also compete with beginner-ranked martial artists.

The principle of one force overcoming ten was no different.

The birth of vigor, any inferior martial technique that reached perfection, could master vigor.

This was also how inferior techniques were ranked.

The Five Beasts Fist, when all five forms reached perfection, could give birth to Tiger Vigor, White Ape Vigor, Mighty Bear Vigor, Soaring Crane Vigor, and Spirit Deer Vigor.

Among these, the strongest was the Tiger Vigor, which, upon physical contact, could shatter one's muscles, bones, and flesh.

This was why he had specifically captured a tiger and placed it in an iron cage for his disciples to observe, hoping that someone with exceptional insight would grasp the perfection of the Tiger Form Fist in a moment of enlightenment, and upon perfecting the fist technique, the Tiger Vigor would be achieved.

Martial artists who mastered vigor and those who didn't were like two different dimensions.

Jiang Ning had just relied on the various vigors of the Five Beasts Fist flowing through his body, driving the changes in his muscle texture, to demonstrate the essence of minor mastery in his fist technique.

He didn't hold high hopes for Jiang Ning's enlightenment.

If breaking through the Five Beasts Fist was this simple, then in the two to three years since he opened the martial academy, he wouldn't have just a few direct disciples.

Most of the apprentices who joined the martial academy would leave after their six-month term ended.

At this moment, as Wang Jin contemplated, Jiang Ning finished a set of the Five Beasts Fist.

[Five Beasts Fist Experience Points +1]



"How was it?" Wang Jin asked.

"I have a slight realization!" Jiang Ning replied, "I want to try again!"

As his words fell, he took a deep breath and practiced the fist technique again.

This time, he didn't recall the images in his mind but practiced based on his understanding.

After releasing his power, Jiang Ning felt different, drawing on his insights from the previous set.

In a mysterious way, he seemed to have grasped some of the essence of softness within hardness.

The force of his Tiger Form Fist, when unleashed after accumulating power, gave him a sense of unrestrained release.

After a stick of incense had burned.

Jiang Ning retracted his fist.

【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】

【Skills】: Five Beasts Fist (Proficient 17/200)



Looking at the prompt before him.

"It seems my insight is only barely passable, at best grasping some superficial aspects of the minor mastery realm!"

At this moment, Jiang Ning was well aware that although he had gained two experience points from this practice session.

It didn't necessarily mean he had comprehended the essence of the Five Beasts Fist's minor mastery realm.

In his speculation, if he truly grasped the essence of the Five Beasts Fist, he could achieve the balance of hardness and softness in the Tiger Form Fist, and the Bear Form Fist could possess lightness within its steadiness.

He could also make the Ape Form Fist agile and lively, with unpredictable body movements, and the Deer Form Fist could blend stillness within motion and motion within stillness.

If you achieve these five points, then with each practice of the fist, your experience points will immediately surge by 140, and you will immediately achieve a minor success in the Five Beasts Fist.

Instead of just gaining a mere two experience points like now.

"But thinking about this, I'm being a bit greedy!" Jiang Ning mocked himself inwardly.

His mood shifted to joy, and this kind of harvest was not bad at all!

It validated my previous guess, having Wang Jin guide me in the Five Beasts Fist, and as long as I can comprehend some of the basics of the minor success level of the Five Beasts Fist, it will help improve the efficiency of my experience grinding.

He clenched his fist, feeling quite exhilarated.

Even though it only added a little experience to this round of fist technique.

But it validated his speculation, undoubtedly giving him a boost.

He felt that as long as he could find and stabilize the Five Beasts Fist before achieving minor success, the efficiency of experience grinding would double.

If he could gain insights into other fist techniques, the efficiency of experience acquisition could further increase.

At the same time.

Wang Jin also nodded slightly.

He immediately spoke up, "I think you've gained some understanding?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "Slightly!"

Wang Jin said, "In fact, the best way to improve in the Five Beasts Fist is to observe tigers, bears, apes, and cranes, even in combat, as this fist technique is derived from the movements and spirits of the five beasts."

"Eight days from now, the tiger in the courtyard will be released to fight with people, and you can go and observe it carefully. This will greatly help you when you enter the major success realm and even the perfect realm of the Tiger Form Fist."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up.

Not to mention that as long as he grasps the spirit and form of the Tiger Form Fist, the efficiency of his experience grinding in the Five Beasts Fist will increase and can be maintained beyond the minor success realm.

In the future, before reaching the major success realm, he can acquire multiple times the experience points.

If he can achieve this, then before reaching major success in the Five Beasts Fist, every practice of the fist technique will increase by two experience points, which is equivalent to doubling the efficiency.

Although increasing experience points does not directly enhance the efficiency of vital energy condensation.

Like the fist technique he just practiced, although it increased two experience points at once, the vital energy force did not double; it remained the same, condensing only two strands of vital energy.

But this is not a problem; as long as the efficiency of experience grinding in his fist technique is faster, his breakthrough will come sooner.

For him, there is no such thing as a bottleneck; as long as he grinds enough experience, he can break through smoothly.

A beginner-level Five Beasts Fist can condense one strand of vital energy, while a proficient Five Beasts Fist can condense two strands in one practice, doubling the efficiency.

It's easy to imagine that after achieving minor success, the efficiency of vital energy condensation in the Five Beasts Fist will be even higher.

As for the major success realm, it will also significantly increase the efficiency of vital energy condensation.

The efficiency of vital energy condensation in the major success realm of the Five Beasts Fist will undoubtedly surpass the current level.

This will greatly increase the possibility of him reaching the Inspection Bureau within three months.

Jiang Ning felt exhilarated.

Seeing Jiang Ning's expression, Wang Jin nodded in satisfaction.

"Good! To advance boldly on the Martial Path, one must have confidence and vitality!"

Jiang Ning snapped out of his thoughts and bowed respectfully.

"Disciple thanks Master for the guidance!"

Wang Jin laughed heartily, "Stop with all these formalities! Just focus on practicing the fist, and strive to reach the major success realm as soon as possible. That's the best way to show your gratitude! Only then will we truly have a master-disciple relationship. Although you missed the best opportunity to enter the Inspection Bureau, if you can pass my test, I will impart all my lifelong learnings to you, and your future achievements may even surpass mine."

Jiang Ning smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
