Chapter 57: Breaking Limits, Unlocking New Traits!
A short while later, in the kitchen of the martial arts academy...
"Alright, eat up quickly! I'll clean up the kitchen after you're done!" Sun Daining placed the food that had been cooking on the stove.
A bowl of steamed pork with a mix of fat and lean meat, a bowl of scrambled eggs, and a steamer of buns, accompanied by a pot of rice, were set before Jiang Ning.
Seeing the steaming hot delicacies, Jiang Ning felt even hungrier.
"Thank you, sister! I'll dig in!" Jiang Ning exclaimed.
Sun Daining smiled and said, "Go ahead and eat."
Jiang Ning began devouring the food voraciously.
With his progress in martial arts, Jiang Ning noticed his appetite had been steadily increasing day by day.
Now, he needed at least three to four times the amount of food he used to eat, an astonishingly large appetite.
He could swallow a bun in one mouthful, and a bowl of rice disappeared after a few big scoops, all going into his stomach.
In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Jiang Ning devoured all the food prepared by Sun Daining, leaving nothing behind.
"Ah, that hits the spot!" Jiang Ning rubbed his belly contentedly.
"Alright, you little rascal, go and rest now!" Sun Daining waved him away.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Thanks for the hard work, sister!"
"Go and sleep now!" Sun Daining waved him off again.
After returning, Jiang Ning practiced his fist technique twice more, successfully gaining 4 experience points, and then he went to sleep.
Before falling asleep, he checked his status panel.
【Essence Energy】: 9.2
"Just 0.8 points away. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, my Essence Energy points will exceed 10."
With this thought, Jiang Ning slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next day.
At the break of dawn, Jiang Ning woke up.
Crack! Crackle!
He got out of bed and stretched his body, and his body immediately emitted a crackling sound.
“Ahh, that’s the spot!”
As he spoke, he also opened his status panel and took a glance.
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Essence Energy】: 10.1
【Skills】:
Literacy (One Break Limit 5/2000) (Trait: Photographic Memory)
Five Animal Fist (Minor Success 82/500)
Firewood Splitting Blade Technique+ (Perfection 1000/1000)
Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique (Beginner 28/1000)
Seeing his status panel, his gaze momentarily froze.
“10.1, I knew it. Yesterday, after absorbing half a ginseng plant, it would be enough to increase my Essence Energy points by more than 0.8.”
“This is indeed close to my previous calculations. Fully absorbing a ten-year-old ginseng plant can provide me with approximately 0.9 to 1.1 Essence Energy points!”
At this moment, Jiang Ning’s expression revealed a look of confirmation.
Then, his gaze fell back onto the status panel, landing on the '+' sign behind Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
Action: In his heart, he silently spoke, and his thoughts slightly moved.
His thoughts landed on the '+' sign behind Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
In an instant.
His Essence Energy points decreased like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, his Essence Energy points returned to 0.1.
Then, Jiang Ning felt countless chilling blades of light appearing in his mind.
He immediately closed his eyes, and his consciousness manifested in his mind.
Countless blades of light flashed by, each one cold and sharp, slicing through the void.
These descending blades of light only had simple downward slashes, but they contained a strange sense of beauty, captivating Jiang Ning.
At the same time.
He also felt as if thousands of ants were crawling on his arms, and a tingling, numbing sensation emerged from deep within his flesh.
After dozens of breaths, all the changes had vanished.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes.
【Skill】: Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Limit Break 1783/2000) (Attribute: Touching the Unseen)
【Touching the Unseen (Blade)】: Profound understanding of blade techniques, increasing the efficiency of learning blade-related cultivation methods and facilitating the comprehension of their secrets.
"Touching the Unseen?"
"This implies that my innate talent for blade techniques has increased."
Jiang Ning muttered to himself as he examined his panel, his expression thoughtful.
Glancing at his panel once more, his gaze fell on the attribute 【Touching the Unseen】.
His mind was suddenly filled with countless blade lights that had just appeared in his thoughts.
"It seems I really need to find a blade and learn a blade technique!"
"With a blade in hand, my combat strength is vastly different from when I was unarmed."
"If I also had a decent-ranked blade technique, it probably wouldn't take long before I could directly defeat Xu Yunfeng!"
Jiang Ning's thoughts turned thoughtful again.
"I remember Wang Jin once said that the name of the Canglang Martial Academy originated from a blade technique! This is why he had me practice with firewood to get a feel for blades!"
"Now it seems that my hopes for a blade and blade technique rest on Wang Jin!"
"It's perfect timing since I've already achieved great success in the Tiger Form Fist, one of the five forms of the Five Animal Fist, fulfilling the requirement for becoming Wang Jin's direct disciple."
Jiang Ning couldn't help but marvel at this realization.
"The six-month assessment period, according to my calculations, took me only about ten days, less than half a month to complete!"
"The panel's effects are truly remarkable!"
"But with such an exaggerated rate of progress, should I reveal my current level to Wang Jin today?"
"Should I let him know that my Tiger Form Fist has reached the level of great success, passing his six-month assessment, and that I'm qualified to become his direct disciple?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Ning had made his decision.
He would reveal his progress in fist techniques to Wang Jin, informing him of his current level.
Only then could he gain further trust from Wang Jin.
"Wang Jin is a trustworthy man, and at his age, his desires should be simple."
"He seeks a worthy successor and a disciple who will take care of him in his old age."
"I can fulfill all of these!"
"The higher my displayed talent, the more importance he will place in me! This way, I'll have more confidence when facing Xu Yunfeng's pressure and the stress from Cao Bin and the Cao family."
"Moreover, based on my observations and interactions over the past few days, Wang Jin seems like a decent person!"
After careful consideration, Jiang Ning made his final decision.
He planned to find Wang Jin immediately and inform him of his current progress in fist techniques.
By doing so, he would become Wang Jin's direct disciple, a true disciple in name.
He clenched his fist again, and the muscles in his arms instantly swelled like coiled dragons, exuding strength.
Just by clenching his fist, Jiang Ning could clearly feel his power increasing as he broke through the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
"With the blade technique's limit break, I can sense my arm strength improving again. Now, I should have the power of over 4000 jin!"
This was his guess.
"If I sparred with Cheng Ran today, I'd likely be much more composed than yesterday!"
"With a blade in hand and my limit-broken Firewood Splitting Blade Technique, I should be able to decide the outcome in one strike against Senior Brother Cheng Ran, and settle the life-or-death battle!"
After experiencing the changes that came with his breakthrough in the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique, Jiang Ning pushed open the door and stepped out of the room.
