Chapter 35: The Power of Qi and Blood Perfection

Chapter 35: The Power of Qi and Blood Perfection

Li Qing?

Jiang Ning was surprised, realizing that Senior Sister Li Qing had been preparing for her Martial Dao Ascension. No wonder she hadn't been seen around these days.

He couldn't help but marvel at how young Li Qing looked, yet she was about to reach the level of Martial Dao Ascension.

It seemed that Li Qing was indeed one of the candidates for Wang Jin's Direct Disciple.

"Jiang, what are you thinking about?" Cheng Ran's voice startled Jiang Ning.

Then, Jiang Ning smiled, "I was just thinking about the power of this tiger after five days. With a body length of four meters, a single palm strike would probably exert a thousand jin of force, right?"

"Yes!" Cheng Ran nodded, "It's even more powerful! That's why only those Martial Dao Ascension level senior brothers are qualified to fight this fierce tiger! If we encounter it in the wild, we can only scream and die a heroic death!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile slightly at Cheng Ran's words.

Cheng Ran's face lit up with excitement. "The Five Beasts Fist originates from the Tiger, Bear, Ape, Crane, and Deer! Five days from now, by observing the tiger's might and posture, I might be able to grasp the form and spirit of the Tiger Form Fist, achieving the perfection of the fist technique!"

"It's a pity that our strength is too weak to participate. If we could fight the tiger personally, we might capture that ethereal strand of energy and push the Tiger Form Fist to perfection!"

"Once we reach perfection, by condensing the Tiger Vigor, we can unleash force beyond our limits, rivaling some of the Middle Realm Martial Techniques!"

Just then, a man in a white training uniform with a majestic aura approached. This person was none other than Xiao Peng.

He was currently the absolute core figure in the front yard of the Waveflow Martial Academy.

In everyone's hearts, Xiao Peng was the most promising candidate to enter the Inspection Bureau and accomplish the leap over the Dragon Gate in three months.

Before possessing overwhelming strength, the importance of authority was undeniable.

Moreover, the Inspection Bureau not only held authority but also possessed Martial Techniques and precious herbs.

This was a tremendous opportunity for anyone, ensuring a more successful Martial path.

Therefore, Xiao Peng's every move naturally attracted everyone's attention.

As Xiao Peng walked by, all eyes were on him.

"Where is Senior Brother Xiao Peng going?"

"I don't know!"

". . ."

Xiao Peng passed by Jiang Ning and stopped in front of Cheng Ran, a slight smile on his face. "Senior Brother Cheng, you're the only one in the entire academy who can match me. How about a friendly spar?"

Seeing Xiao Peng's challenge, Cheng Ran responded with a cold smile, "Good, since you want to fight, I'll grant your wish!"

The two walked past Jiang Ning and headed to a spacious area.

At the same time, the onlookers became excited.

"Who do you think will win between Senior Brother Cheng and Senior Brother Xiao Peng?"

"I think Xiao Peng will win. His Tiger Form Fist has reached Major Success, and his explosive power is incredible. Plus, he has achieved Minor Success in the Ape Form Fist, and his body's agility and veins resemble an ape, so his strength must be formidable!"

"I disagree!" someone countered. "Senior Brother Xiao Peng's fist technique may be superior, but Senior Brother Cheng has achieved Qi and Blood Perfection! With Qi and Blood circulating throughout his body, he can exert a force of five hundred jin!"

"A single punch can unleash over two thousand jin of force, and with his Minor Success in the Tiger Form Fist, Cheng Ran can easily overpower Xiao Peng. In terms of raw strength, Cheng Ran has the natural advantage!"

"Xiao Peng has only achieved Qi and Blood Mastery, exerting a force of just over three hundred jin. Even with his superior fist technique, the difference in their strength is significant!"

At this moment, in the front yard of the martial academy.

Jiang Ning overheard the discussion nearby and couldn't help but marvel.

Senior Brother Cheng, with his Qi and Blood Perfection, could unleash over two thousand jin of force with a single punch, far surpassing the limits of humans in his previous life.

He still remembered a set of data from his past life.

A boxing champion from his previous life could only punch with a force of around one thousand six hundred jin.

Yet Cheng Ran, with his seemingly slender build, could punch with a force exceeding two thousand jin.

"Is this the allure of Martial Arts? What terrifying power did the legendary Martial Sage of Grand Xia possess?"

Jiang Ning's heart couldn't help but yearn for such a peaceful old age.

At this moment, Xiao Peng and Cheng Ran were also sparring.

Cheng Ran's body moved, and he leaped like a flying crane, swooping towards Xiao Peng.

"Well done!" Xiao Peng shouted.

His body sank, his feet slightly arched, and his sharp claws firmly gripped the ground.

The next moment, Cheng Ran pounced towards Xiao Peng like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

Xiao Peng's body slightly lowered, resembling a beast king ready to pounce.

As their vital energies clashed—

Roar—

Xiao Peng let out a roar like a fierce tiger, and his coiled body suddenly burst forth.

From the start, they were giving it their all.

At this moment, facing Cheng Ran, who had achieved Qi and Blood Perfection and possessed greater strength and physique, Xiao Peng did not choose to retreat but instead met him head-on.

Cheng Ran, who withstood the strongest blow head-on.

Bang—

A dull sound rang out, and both of them retreated simultaneously.

Xiao Peng retreated more than two zhang, while Cheng Ran only retreated one zhang and five chi.

However, a hint of surprise flashed in Cheng Ran's eyes at this moment.

The head-on clash didn't give him much of an advantage, which was beyond his expectations.

It was known that he had reached the level of Full Body Circulation, and at this level, the minimum strength was five hundred jin.

Those with innate divine strength could even possess seven to eight hundred jin of force.

Cheng Ran's vital energy was slightly inferior to Xiao Peng's, and he had only achieved Qi and Blood Mastery, reaching the level of circulating energy through his limbs, with a force of over three hundred jin.

With such a significant gap, the head-on clash didn't show much difference, which could only mean one thing.

Cheng Ran spoke up, "Brother Xiao seems to be not far from reaching the level of Full Body Circulation!"

Xiao Peng raised his lips in a smile, "My strength has reached over four hundred jin, and I'm not far from achieving Qi and Blood Perfection and Full Body Circulation. Does Brother Cheng still want to continue the fight?"

"Of course!" Cheng Ran replied with a light shout.

His body moved again, instantly closing in on Xiao Peng.

In an instant, the two of them engaged in combat, and as their fists and feet collided, dust was sent flying, and the friction between their sleeves and the air produced a tiger's roar that tore through the air.

Not far away, Jiang Ning watched this scene, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Qi and Blood Perfection, Full Body Circulation, with a strength of five hundred jin, every move capable of unleashing a thousand jin of force, but it doesn't seem that powerful?"

After achieving Minor Achievement in Vital Energy, Jiang Ning had also tested his own strength.

He could lift a two-hundred-jin stone lock with one arm, but a two-hundred-and-fifty-jin stone lock was still a bit of a challenge.

This meant that his force had already reached close to two hundred and fifty jin.

Although it was only half the strength of someone who had achieved Qi and Blood Perfection and Full Body Circulation, this number didn't seem that impressive, nor was it exaggerated. But as far as he knew, the peak record for humans in his previous life seemed to be lifting over three hundred jin with one hand.

In other words, his ability to lift a two-hundred-plus jin stone lock with one hand could be considered an extremely high level.

In his previous life, even a professional athlete would have found this difficult.

After all, that record was achieved by one in a million with innate talent, combined with specialized and rigorous training to squeeze out their physical potential.

At this moment, Jiang Ning felt that if he were to spar with Cheng Ran and Xiao Peng, he could hold his own for a few rounds.

Because in his eyes at the moment, although Cheng Ran's strength was powerful, it was at least twice as strong as his, but he lacked agility, and his movements weren't swift enough. As for Xiao Peng, although his movements were fast and his limbs were as nimble as an ape, his strength was lacking, and his footwork was full of obvious flaws, very rough.

"No wonder Wang Jin once said that cultivating all five forms together is the right path!"

"Now that I've achieved Minor Mastery in my fist technique and Vital Energy, I'm almost at half the level of Cheng Ran, who has achieved Qi and Blood Perfection and Full Body Circulation. This is clearly the effect of the Bear Form Fist! Moreover, cultivating all five forms together not only increases strength and speed but also enhances agility and footwork, making it a truly well-rounded technique. It is indeed an excellent foundational martial technique."

"It seems I've underestimated my own strength!"

As Jiang Ning watched the two of them spar, this thought popped into his mind.
