Chapter 270: Validating Martial Arts, Offense and Defense Transformation!

Chapter 270: Validating Martial Arts, Offense and Defense Transformation!



On the desolate island, Jiang Ning continuously engaged in combat with the Wind Divine Messenger, who had transformed into the Six-Armed Divine Descendant.

Wherever the two fought, rocks shattered, trees toppled, and the snow they kicked up soared several zhang high.

A Fifth Rank Warrior was truly a match for ten thousand enemies.

With their inner breath, they could effortlessly withstand the tactics of a vast army.

At this moment, the Wind Divine Messenger, in his Six-Armed Divine Descendant form, was far more powerful than an ordinary Fifth Rank Warrior who had mastered the art of condensing and solidifying their inner breath.

His formidable physical body granted him strength that was no weaker than when he unleashed his inner breath.

The vitality of his immortal body made him fearless against any attack short of a fatal blow.

Combined, these factors made the Wind Divine Messenger in his Six-Armed Divine Descendant form the strongest below the peak of the Fifth Rank.

Jiang Ning's advantage over him was not solely due to the fist technique reflecting in the Wind Divine Messenger's mind, intimidating his spirit.

When the Six-Armed Divine Descendant attacked, Jiang Ning's authority weakened his opponent's strength by a third.

More importantly, Jiang Ning's authority allowed him to quickly heal any injuries to his physical body.

Each time he clashed with the Six-Armed Divine Descendant, the powerful impact would shake his five viscera and six bowels, causing a slight displacement.

Under this terrifying force, his entire body felt like it was falling apart.

Normally, a single intense collision would leave him with significant injuries.

These injuries would cover his entire body, appearing inconspicuous on the surface but causing severe internal damage.

In this state, facing the next attack from the Six-Armed Divine Descendant, he would find himself unable to defend.

At most, he could withstand three attacks before being completely overwhelmed or killed.

This was the gap between them.

But Jiang Ning was different now.

Thanks to his authority of flesh regeneration, any injuries he sustained, both internal and external, healed instantly.

Moreover, this accelerated the metamorphosis of his physical body's strength as he forged his mystical bones.

After each clash, once his injuries healed, he felt his physical strength had noticeably improved.

With each encounter, he grew stronger.

Throughout their continuous battle, Jiang Ning was also constantly validating his recent martial arts insights.

The five fist techniques, initially awkward and unfamiliar in his hands, gradually became fluid and effortless.

At times like a tiger, at times like an ape, at times like a bear, the five fist techniques transformed freely in his hands.

This made it increasingly effortless for him to counter the attacks of the Six-Armed Divine Descendant.

Meanwhile, the Wind Divine Messenger, in his Six-Armed Divine Descendant form, grew increasingly frustrated as his attacks on Jiang Ning remained futile.

His inner rage became more and more apparent.

He could clearly sense his rationality slipping away, consumed by the rising flames of anger.

As time passed, Jiang Ning became increasingly elusive, never giving him a chance to pursue.

Additionally, the fist technique reflecting in his mind and spirit world suppressed his spirit.

He couldn't unleash his full strength.

Before each attack, his power was weakened by a third.

Thinking of this, the idea of retreating that had just arisen in his mind was quickly rejected.

"No!"

"This is a divine command!"

"I must complete it!!"

"If I retreat today, with this child's rate of progress!"

"Every day, his strength will increase by a fraction!"

"In the future, it will only become more difficult!"

"Today is when this child is at his weakest!"

After coming to this realization, the Wind Divine Messenger gritted his teeth, determined.

"I want to see how many of my punches you can take!"

"I don't believe you're truly an unkillable cockroach!!!"

The next moment, the Wind Divine Messenger's attacks became even more ferocious and wild.

His four legs moved relentlessly, pressing towards Jiang Ning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With each step, the ground shook, leaving deep footprints and spider web-like cracks spreading in all directions.

In the distance, rocks tumbled down from the mountainside, and snow on the treetops fluttered down.

Under the pressure of the Six-Armed Divine Descendant, Jiang Ning's figure continuously retreated.

Even though the fist technique reflected in the Wind Divine Messenger's spirit world suppressed his strength by a third, the powerful impact of each strike was beyond Jiang Ning's current ability to withstand.

Even when he assumed the Savage Bear Form and borrowed the power of the earth, he still couldn't match the Wind Divine Messenger in his Six-Armed Divine Descendant form blow for blow.

Nevertheless, Jiang Ning's heart was filled with excitement.

Under the honing of the Six-Armed Divine Descendant, his five fist techniques were completely integrated.

His fist technique could now effortlessly transform from one form to another.

As for the transformation of his physical body's strength, under the pounding of the Six-Armed Divine Descendant, it was nearing its conclusion.

After a while, the two continued their battle, moving towards the center of the island.

Along the way, the ground was littered with broken rocks and fallen trees.

The ground was covered with large and small pits, as well as footprints left by the Six-Armed Divine Descendant that were over a foot deep.

In the distance, a thousand meters away,

Star Guardian stood atop the pile of ice, observing the battle on the desolate island from a distance.

"Jiang Commander truly lives up to his reputation, fearlessly challenging the mighty!" Star Guardian exclaimed softly.

Having observed for so long, he naturally understood that Jiang Ning was using the six-armed divine descendant state of the Wind Deity Messenger as a whetstone to sharpen his skills.

And indeed, this whetstone had honed his edge.

It was evident that Jiang Ning had grown significantly stronger since the beginning of his confrontation with the six-armed divine descendant state of the Wind Deity Messenger.

Not only had his fist technique improved, but his physical strength had also advanced.

The repeated intense clashes made it clear that the six-armed divine descendant state of the Wind Deity Messenger was enduring increasingly powerful impacts.

Boom—

Another collision occurred.

Facing the force of the six-armed divine descendant's punch, Jiang Ning was once again sent flying.

He slammed into a tree as thick as a hug, causing it to snap in half with a loud crack.

Jiang Ning's movement came to a halt.

"That felt good!" He clenched his fist, feeling the power surging within him from the inside out.

His heart was filled with satisfaction.

With the casting of the Mystical Bone, the transformation of his physical body was complete.

He could clearly sense the change.

His physical strength had increased by about two-tenths.

Two-tenths might not seem like much, but in reality, it was a significant boost.

This two-tenths increase was enough to give him the upper hand over his previous self, leaving his former self completely breathless.

Just like an ordinary person, if there were a two-tenths difference in strength, the outcome of a brute force battle would be obvious, easily knocking down the opponent.

Moreover, this two-tenths increase was not only in strength but also in physical resilience.

It was common knowledge that the stronger the physical resilience, the greater the impact one could endure.

And strength was not just about one's own power but also the impact brought about by inertia.

Just like a high-speed car and a car that had just started, the impact they generated was vastly different.

At this thought, Jiang Ning became aware of his Dantian.

He had three-tenths of his inner breath left.

In his previous attacks, he had not held back at all.

Every move and every technique were infused with his inner breath.

Although this was the most basic application, it still provided him with a significant boost.

The next moment, he saw a dark shadow pressing down on him.

The six-armed divine descendant, standing over ten feet tall, had leaped to his head, carrying the weight of a mountain as he stomped down with his four legs.

Jiang Ning's body moved.

At that instant, the air resistance against him decreased significantly, and fine, dense arcs of electricity flashed across his muscles.

With a flash, he turned into an afterimage, disappearing from the range of the six-armed divine descendant's attack from above.

When Jiang Ning's movement stopped, he had already appeared several zhang away.

[Gale Thunder Breath]: Move like the wind, strike like thunder, able to sense the existence of wind and thunder in the heavens and earth.

Move like the wind, strike like thunder.

This was the profound nature of the Gale Thunder Breath.

As Jiang Ning entered this state, his body seemed to merge with the wind, significantly reducing air resistance.

The importance of wind resistance was evident, and with it greatly reduced, his speed became terrifyingly fast.

It instantly doubled.

This movement startled the Wind Deity Messenger in the six-armed divine descendant state.

Among the four great guardian deities of the Worshipping God Sect—Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest—he was the fastest, with unparalleled speed among warriors of the same level.

Seeing Jiang Ning's speed at this moment, he was utterly shocked.

This speed was a full five-tenths faster than when he used his inner breath to burst into full speed.

This five-tenths difference filled him with despair.

After transforming into the divine descendant state, his physical strength and explosive power had indeed increased significantly, but his speed had decreased.

The reason for this was his massive physique.

With a height of over ten feet and a body thicker than a log, the air resistance against him was tremendous when he moved.

He understood that if Jiang Ning wanted to escape, with a speed nearly twice his own, he would have no chance of catching up.

This meant that Jiang Ning currently held the advantage of being unbeatable.

He could fight if he wanted to, and he could flee if he chose to.

On the other side, a thousand meters away on the ice, Star Guardian witnessed this scene and couldn't help but let out a gasp.

"This speed!!!"

"Is this his reliance?!?!?"

"No wonder he wasn't afraid when the Wind Deity Messenger approached him before!!!"

At this moment, Star Guardian finally understood the source of Jiang Ning's previous composure.

This innate speed that gave him an advantage over defeat was his greatest confidence.

On the desolate island, Jiang Ning saw the slightly startled six-armed divine descendant Wind Deity Messenger.

His body moved, and in an instant, he became a blur, moving so fast that he could reach a thousand meters away in less than two breaths.

Normally, this terrifying speed, combined with a human body, would create a powerful air wave, sweeping away the surrounding debris and leaves.

As Jiang Ning moved, his actions were incredibly subtle, causing only the accumulated snow on a dead branch above his head to fall with a rustling sound, the branch swaying back and forth.

Facing Jiang Ning's head-on charge, the six-armed Divine Descendant immediately raised his hands to block.

Boom!

The collision was like a cannonball striking a city wall.

Visible ripples of air spread out in all directions, sweeping away the snow on the ground.

The surrounding dead branches snapped and were carried away by the air waves.

Even in his Divine Descendant form, the Wind Deity Messenger was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

With each stomp of his four legs, he broke through the solid ground, his feet sinking into the stone layer. Yes, I want to test the limits of my body! I want to see how strong I've become!"

This island was covered in hard rocks. As his feet sank into the stone layer, the cracking stones spread out in a dense spider web of cracks.

The surrounding trees also shook continuously.

Countless snowflakes fell from the bare tree trunks, floating in the air.

Jiang Ning quickly withdrew his touch, preventing the six arms from capturing him.

"What a sturdy body!"

Feeling the internal injury caused by the counterforce, Jiang Ning secretly marveled.

With this strike, the powerful momentum and the force unleashed by the Dragon Sinew level granted him terrifying impact.

And he also bore the counterforce of this impact.

His five viscera shifted, causing internal injuries.

His muscles and bones seemed to fall apart, making it difficult to mobilize his full strength.

But his arms withstood this terrifying force, and the bones in his body did not deform or break.

"As expected, after casting the Mystical Bone, my body's bones can withstand this force!"

"If it were before the sixth rank, ordinary bones bearing this counterforce would be enough to break my arm bones, or even shatter them!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

After experiencing the hardness of the Mystical Bone, he no longer had any worries.

Soon after, the minor injuries inside his body and all kinds of discomfort disappeared in an instant as his physical body healed.

He once again regained his peak condition.

Then, he moved again.

Boom!

Without any reservation, he charged like a ferocious tiger, slamming heavily into the fist that the six-armed Divine Descendant hurriedly swung.

This collision forced the Wind Deity Messenger in his Divine Descendant form to retreat repeatedly.

The ground rumbled.

Jiang Ning's figure retreated, stepping back more than ten zhang, as if inertia no longer existed for him.

He instantly transformed into a shadow, rushing towards the six-armed Divine Descendant like a cannonball.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

With each strike, the offense and defense changed.

The terrifying speed left the Wind Deity Messenger of the six-armed Divine Descendant exhausted, not giving him any time to counterattack.

A thousand li away.

Star Guardian slightly opened his mouth, then slowly closed it.

He licked his lips, only then realizing that in the cold wind, his mouth had dried up from being open for too long.

His lips were now marked with obvious grooves.

"Defeat!"

He shook his head.

At this moment, he began to consider his retreat.

Jiang Ning's speed was already unbeatable.

His various methods were too divine, making him extremely wary.

The most obvious point was that Jiang Ning's speed at this moment was simply unbelievable.

He also noticed that the wind and waves caused by Jiang Ning's movements were minimal.

This was unreasonable, too unreasonable!

On the other side.

On the deserted island.

After more than ten collisions.

It was like punching a sandbag, thoroughly satisfying Jiang Ning.

He understood that such an offensive, if directed at an ordinary fifth-rank warrior, would have killed them long ago.

But against the six-armed Divine Descendant with an immortal body, it was no different than tickling him.

The impact caused by this explosive force could, at most, inflict injuries on the six-armed Divine Descendant similar to the ones Jiang Ning had just suffered—internal injuries to the five viscera and displaced muscles and bones.

However, for the six-armed Divine Descendant, whose self-healing ability far surpassed Jiang Ning's, even accumulating millions of such injuries would not truly harm him.

"It's time to try the Waterfire Essence!"

Jiang Ning glanced at the Wind Deity Messenger in his Divine Descendant form and quietly activated the Waterfire Essence within his body.

He was ready to test his martial arts on the six-armed Divine Descendant, who made for a good sandbag.

Jiang Ning also had high expectations for the Waterfire Essence.

After all, the Waterfire Essence was the only high-tier martial art he currently possessed, and it was a high-tier martial art that had broken through limits three times.

In terms of martial arts grading, none of the martial arts he knew could compare to the Waterfire Essence that had broken through limits three times.

The only thing that made him feel slightly regretful was that after breaking through limits three times, none of the traits he gained from the Waterfire Essence were for enhancing offensive power.

The power he could unleash now was merely the inherent power of this martial art.

But even the inherent power of this martial art should not be underestimated.

After all, it was a high-tier martial art.

Moreover, it was derived from a high-tier martial art found in ancient immortal manuals.
