Chapter 34: Perfection in Blade Technique, Minor Mastery in Five Beasts Fist!
Chapter 34: Perfection in Blade Technique, Minor Mastery in Five Beasts Fist!
Skill: Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Perfection 0/1000)
As this skill reached perfection from mastery, Jiang Ning felt a difference.
In an instant, countless scenes flashed through his mind, just like before.
Each scene that flashed by was a reflection of every swing of his blade during this period.
Countless angles and overlapping shadows, ultimately refining the essence.
At the same time, Jiang Ning felt a tingling sensation in his arms, as if millions of ants were crawling on them.
After a few breaths, all the abnormalities vanished.
Jiang Ning gripped the firewood cleaver in his hand and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
"So this is the perfection level of the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique?"
"It actually has such an effect. Even though I'm holding a firewood cleaver, I feel like my flesh and blood are extending, allowing me to control it like my own arm!"
Wielding the cleaver, he casually swung it twice.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
The sound of the blade cutting through the air emerged, and a faint smile appeared on Jiang Ning's face once more.
His blade swings were roughly three times faster.
Moreover!
Jiang Ning swung his blade again.
Thud—
As the cleaver fell, the thick round log lying diagonally on the wooden stake was suddenly cut in half.
"And the force of my swings has increased by about two to three times! This improvement is fantastic!"
Holding the firewood cleaver in his hand, he nodded in satisfaction.
"If I had a blade right now, my combat strength would increase by several times at least!"
At this moment, Jiang Ning felt a surge of ambition.
He even considered going to directly challenge Xu Yunfeng and split him with a single blow.
"No rush! No rush!!"
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, calming his agitated heart.
My current Vital Energy intensity is far from his, give me some more time!
He tightened his grip on the firewood cleaver.
Then, he opened his status panel and took a look.
Skill: Firewood Cleaver Blade Technique (Perfection 0/1000)
Just a thousand more experience points to break through the limit of this technique!
This won't be difficult for me!
If necessary, I can grind these thousand experience points in a single day.
Unfortunately!
My Essence Energy points are limiting my performance!
Essence Energy: 6.8
Looking at his Essence Energy points on the panel, he felt a tinge of regret.
"If I break through ten points of Essence Energy, at my current rate of increase of 0.4 points per day, I'll need about eight more days! Grinding experience for the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique won't be a problem! But if I go out, I'll need to consider getting a blade for self-defense!"
"For me right now, having a blade in hand and not having one are completely different matters!"
"After all, an inch of steel is stronger than flesh and blood. How can a mortal body compete with a steel weapon?"
Jiang Ning's heart stirred, and he added this matter to his schedule.
In the blink of an eye, four days later.
After a round of practicing the fist technique.
Five Beasts Fist Experience: +1
Skill: Five Beasts Fist (Minor Mastery 17/500)
Jiang Ning looked at the prompt in front of him and shook his head slightly.
"Only by embodying the form and spirit can one achieve mastery in the fist technique. It seems that with my current level of comprehension, it's impossible to achieve this!"
After trying for more than a day, Jiang Ning was also ready to give up.
He was about to abandon the idea of comprehending the essence of the Five Beasts Fist on his own.
A few days ago, after seeking guidance from Master Wang Jin, he grasped the essence of the Tiger Form Fist at the minor mastery level, understanding the balance of hardness and softness.
Therefore, in the following days, before reaching minor mastery in the fist technique, he gained two experience points with each practice session.
It was because of this that he was able to grind this fist technique to minor mastery in just a few days.
Immediately, Jiang Ning clenched his fist.
His Vital Energy surged, instantly flowing through one arm with some remaining.
"Now that my Vital Energy has reached minor mastery, after achieving minor mastery in the Five Beasts Fist, with each practice session, I can refine three strands of Vital Energy. At this rate, I believe it won't be long before my Vital Energy reaches mastery and even perfection!"
"However, the opening of the Patrol Office is also approaching soon. Achieving perfection in Vital Energy isn't that impressive. I still need to enter the ranked martial arts, and excel in actual combat to join this transcendent institution."
I can't slack off!
He immediately opened his status panel and took a look.
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Essence Energy】: 8.4
Skills:
- Calligraphy and Literacy (One Breakthrough Limit: 416/2000) (Trait: Photographic Memory)
Five Beasts Fist (Minor Mastery: 17/500)

Inner Alchemy Cultivation (Entry Level: 91/100)
"I still need four more days to accumulate enough Essence Energy points to break through the limit of the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique."
"As for Inner Alchemy Cultivation, I'll reach the Entry Level by tomorrow. This is a technique for enhancing Internal Strength, and it's usually practiced by Martial Artists of the Fifth Rank. I wonder what the effects will be after reaching the Entry Level in this technique?"
The correct version is available to read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar.
He promptly closed the status panel.
Afternoon.
After completing a set of fist techniques.
Five Beasts Fist Experience +1
Skills:
- Five Beasts Fist (Minor Mastery: 18/500)
Feeling the growth of his Vital Energy and physique, Jiang Ning was in a pleasant mood.
He poured a bucket of cold well water over his head.
"Refreshing!!!"
His hair flung water droplets in all directions.
"Junior Brother Jiang, you splashed water on me!" a voice called out from behind.
Jiang Ning turned around and saw Cheng Ran, the only one among the disciples in the front courtyard of the Martial Academy with whom he was on friendly terms.
Since arriving at the Martial Academy, his days had been spent solely on gaining experience and training.
With Wang Jin's permission, he was allowed to stay at the Martial Academy permanently.
Jiang Ning hadn't even stepped out of the Martial Academy's main gate, so he hadn't participated in the disciples' gatherings, drinking sessions, or other activities that fostered camaraderie.
As a result, he hadn't had much interaction with the other disciples.
Especially with his diligent practice of the Five Beasts Fist, he had no time to socialize with them, and no one would bother him out of boredom.
Seeing Cheng Ran approaching, Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head slightly, flicking water droplets from his hair onto the dirt around Cheng Ran. The water marks quickly evaporated under the scorching heat of the ground.
"Senior Brother Cheng, you came over on your own, so you can't blame me for this!"
Cheng Ran chuckled, "Hey, I was just joking with you!"
As he spoke, he threw the bucket into the deep well.
"This damn weather is getting hotter and hotter!" Cheng Ran exclaimed.
Jiang Ning looked up at the sky; it was a vast expanse of blue, clear and cloudless.
He nodded in agreement, "It seems like it hasn't rained for over two months!"
"Yes!" Cheng Ran affirmed.
At that moment, the bucket he had dropped into the well was already full. With a few quick movements, he lifted the bucket filled with cool well water.
"It's not just these two months; Luo Shui County hasn't had much rain all year!" Cheng Ran added.
As his words fell, Cheng Ran lifted the bucket in his hand and poured it over his head.
"Ahhhh!" he cried out in pleasure.
Then, he continued to vent to Jiang Ning, "Brother Jiang, do you know that July is the time to collect crops? A few days ago, I went on a patrol, and a bunch of tenant farmers were crying in front of me. I couldn't bear to see their plight, so I waived their taxes for half a year. When I returned, my father gave me a good beating!"
At this point, Cheng Ran seemed to recall the painful consequences of that day, showing a slight grimace.
"Senior Brother Cheng is truly kind-hearted!" Jiang Ning said sincerely.
Hearing these words of flattery, Cheng Ran couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
He then feigned a calm and unperturbed expression, "Let's not talk about this. Brother Jiang, do you know that something big is happening at the Martial Academy in a few days?"
"What's the big event?" Jiang Ning asked, slightly curious.
"Have you seen the tiger in the cage?" Cheng Ran asked.
Jiang Ning nodded.
Cheng Ran pointed to the left side of the courtyard.
"In six days, this ferocious tiger will be released into that courtyard!"
"The Martial Academy's true disciples will be there, allowing us to witness the tiger's ferocity up close. This will greatly aid us in breaking through the Mastery level of the Tiger Form Fist!"
"I heard that Li Qing Senior Sister is currently in seclusion at home, preparing for the final sprint of her Martial Arts Entry Rank. She might also participate that day!"
As Cheng Ran spoke these words, a hint of excitement flashed across his face.
