Chapter 35: The Power of Vital Energy Perfection
Chapter 35: The Power of Vital Energy Perfection
Li Qing?
Jiang Ning was surprised, realizing that Senior Sister Li Qing was making a final push for the Martial Arts Entry Rank. No wonder he hadn't seen her these past few days.
Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Li Qing, despite her youthful appearance, was about to reach the level of the Martial Arts Entry Rank.
It seemed that Senior Sister Li Qing was one of Master Wang Jin's direct disciples, chosen to be his personal disciple.
"Junior Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about?" Cheng Ran's voice sounded in Jiang Ning's ear, snapping him back to attention.
Soon after.
Jiang Ning smiled, "I was just wondering, what kind of might will this tiger possess in five days? With an estimated length of four meters, a single palm strike could exert a force of a thousand jin."
"Yes!" Cheng Ran nodded, "It's even more powerful than that! That's why only the Entry Rank disciples are qualified to fight this tiger! If we encounter it in the wild, we can only die valiantly with a loud roar!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile slightly.
Then, Cheng Ran's face lit up with excitement.
"The Five Beasts Fist originates from the tiger, bear, ape, and crane! In five days, by observing the tiger's might and posture, I might be able to grasp the form and spirit of the Tiger Form Fist, and with both form and spirit, I can achieve the realm of Fist Technique Mastery!"
"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 the realm of perfection!"
"Once we reach the realm of perfection, with the condensed force of over five hundred jin, even though the Fist Technique is superior, the difference in strength is significant!"
Just then, in the front courtyard of the martial arts academy.
Jiang Ning overheard the distant discussion and couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.
Senior Brother Cheng Ran, with his Vital Energy Perfection, could unleash a force of over two thousand jin with a single punch, completely surpassing the limits of humanity in his previous life.
Jiang Ning recalled a set of data from his past life.
A boxing champion from that life could only exert a force of one thousand six hundred jin with a single punch.
Yet Cheng Ran, with his seemingly slender build, could unleash a force of over two thousand jin.
"Is this the allure of martial arts? What kind of power did the legendary Martial Saint of Great Xia possess?"
Jiang Ning's heart yearned for the Martial Saint's strength.
At this moment, Xiao Peng and Cheng Ran faced off against each other.
Cheng Ran's body moved, and he soared like a flying crane, rushing towards Xiao Peng.
"Well met!" Xiao Peng exclaimed.
His body sank, his feet slightly arched, and his sharp claws firmly gripped the ground.
The next moment, Cheng Ran pounced like a tiger descending the mountain, charging straight at Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng's body slightly crouched, like a lion ready to pounce.
As their vital energy surged...
Roar—
Xiao Peng let out a tiger-like roar, and his crouched body suddenly exploded into action.

From the start, both unleashed their full strength.
At this moment, facing Xiao Peng's vital energy perfection, with strength and physique surpassing his own, Cheng Ran did not choose to retreat but instead met him head-on.
Cheng Ran, who withstood the strongest blow.
Bang—
A dull sound echoed as both figures retreated simultaneously.
Xiao Peng retreated more than two zhang, while Cheng Ran only moved back one and a half zhang.
However, a hint of surprise flashed in Cheng Ran's eyes.
The direct clash did not give him much advantage, which was beyond his expectations.
It was known that he had reached the level of circulating vital energy throughout his body, the lowest level starting at five hundred jin of strength.
Those with innate power could possess seven to eight hundred jin of force.
Cheng Ran's vital energy was slightly inferior, only at the level of vital energy mastery, with his limbs circulating energy, and his strength was at least three hundred jin.
With such a significant gap, the difference in their direct clash was surprisingly small, leaving only one possible explanation.
Cheng Ran spoke up, "Brother Xiao, it seems you're not far from reaching the level of circulating vital energy throughout your body!"
Xiao Peng's lips curled upwards, "My strength has reached over four hundred jin, and I'm not far from vital energy perfection throughout my body. Do you still wish to fight, Brother Cheng?"
"Of course!" Cheng Ran replied with a light shout.
Their bodies moved again, and in an instant, they clashed, their fists and feet colliding, stirring up clouds of dust. The friction between their sleeves and the air created a tiger's roar, piercing the sky.
Not far away, Jiang Ning witnessed this scene, and a peculiar look flashed in his eyes.
"Vital energy perfection, circulating throughout the body, with strength of five hundred jin, every move capable of unleashing a thousand jin of force, but it doesn't seem that powerful?"
After reaching minor mastery of vital energy, Jiang Ning 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 somewhat challenging.
This meant his strength was already close to two hundred and fifty jin.
Although he had reached vital energy perfection, circulating throughout his body, his strength was only half of that level.
This number didn't seem impressive, not exaggerated, but according to his knowledge, the peak record of humans in his previous life was lifting three hundred-plus jin with one hand.
In other words, his ability to lift a two-hundred-plus jin stone lock with one hand was already considered an extremely high standard.
In his previous life, even a professional athlete would have struggled to achieve this.
After all, that record belonged to one in a million with innate talent, combined with professional and specialized training, squeezing every ounce of their body's potential, to reach the peak of human limits.
At this moment, Jiang Ning felt that if he fought against Cheng Ran and Xiao Peng, he could hold his own for several rounds.
In his current eyes, Cheng Ran's strength was formidable, at least twice as strong as his, but he lacked agility, and his movements were not swift enough. As for Xiao Peng, his movements were fast, and his limbs were as agile as a monkey, but his strength was significantly weaker, and his footwork was full of obvious flaws, extremely rough.
No wonder Wang Jin once said, "Practicing the Five Animals together is the true path!"
"Now, with my fist technique at minor mastery and vital energy at minor mastery, I'm almost at half the strength of someone with vital energy perfection circulating throughout their body. This is clearly the effect of the Bear Form Fist!"
"It seems I've underestimated my own strength!"
Watching the two clash, this thought emerged in Jiang Ning's mind.
