Chapter 58: A Surge of Strength
Chapter 58: A Surge of Strength
Canglang Martial Academy.
Jiang Ning's courtyard.
After finishing his morning routine, he looked up at the sky above. The sun had yet to rise, and it was still some time before dawn.
He then stepped out of his courtyard and made his way to the front courtyard of the martial academy.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the entire front courtyard was eerily quiet.
The entire academy was also very peaceful, and he could only hear some faint sounds coming from the direction of the kitchen where Aunt Sun was working.
He then went to one corner of the front courtyard where the stone locks were stacked.
Usually, these stone locks were used by the academy disciples to train their strength and test their power.
He had come here to gauge his current strength.
Knowing his own strength would give him a sense of confidence.
He stood before a three-hundred-catty stone lock.
The stone lock was connected by a thick, arm-sized bar of tempered iron, and the marks and patterns from the forging were clearly visible. With just a glance, Jiang Ning could tell that the iron bar had been forged dozens of times.
Only after dozens of forgings would the iron bar have the necessary hardness and toughness to support the weight of the three-hundred-catty stone lock.
Jiang Ning slightly lowered his body, and his right hand gripped the thick, arm-sized bar of tempered iron on the stone lock.
In the next moment, as he exerted his strength, the three-hundred-catty bar of iron was instantly lifted by him, completely detaching from the ground.
Feeling that his right hand still had some strength left, Jiang Ning muttered to himself.
"As expected, the strength in my single arm has already surpassed three hundred catties."
Then, he thought of his previous life.
According to his knowledge, the limit of humans in his previous life was lifting a three-hundred-catty barbell with one hand.
In other words, at this moment, his strength had already caught up to the peak of humans in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but marvel.
After only a little over ten days of martial arts training, he had already caught up to the peak of humans in his previous life. This made him realize just how profound and mysterious the martial arts in this world truly were.
It was a transcendent path.
Then, he slowly lowered the stone lock and used his left hand to lift the three-hundred-catty stone lock.
With a clenched jaw, his left hand also managed to lift the three-hundred-catty stone lock with difficulty.
"My left arm also has three hundred catties of strength," he muttered to himself.
Then, he went to stand before a four-hundred-catty stone lock.
"Let's try and see if my right hand can lift this."
As this thought arose, Jiang Ning lowered his body, and his right hand gripped the thick bar of tempered iron.
With his exertion, the four-hundred-catty stone lock suddenly moved, but it didn't leave the ground.
He clenched his teeth again and exerted his strength once more.
The four-hundred-catty stone lock instantly lifted off the ground, rubbing against the ground in his hand.
"No, it's not enough!"
Jiang Ning shook his head and slowly retracted his strength.
The stone lock fell to the ground with a dull thud.
At this moment, Jiang Ning had a clear understanding of his current strength.
The breaking limit of his sword technique had once again slightly enhanced the strength in his arms.
His right arm's strength surpassed three hundred catties, reaching around three hundred and fifty catties.
His left arm's strength reached three hundred catties.
Even though his progress in martial arts was only at the small achievement level, his strength had clearly caught up to Xiao Peng, who had achieved great mastery in qi and blood.
"Those with normal great mastery in qi and blood start with five hundred catties of strength, still leading by a large margin."
"But if I have a sword in hand, this hundred-catty difference in strength won't be so obvious!"
"Now, give me a sword, and with my breaking limit-breaking firewood-splitting sword technique, the strength I unleash won't be weaker than those with five hundred catties of strength!"
"I wonder if I can be a match for Xu Yunfeng?"
Jiang Ning muttered to himself, his brows furrowed in thought.
After a moment's thought, he slowly shook his head. "There's no rush. Now that I've mastered the Ferocious Tiger Fist and have wild ginseng, a highly nourishing medicine, if I have a few more days, I can reach the level of mastery in the Five Beasts Fist."
"By then, my vital energy should be able to reach perfection and flow through all my limbs."
"My strength will further increase, not inferior to the average martial artist who has achieved perfection in vital energy."
"If I can find another sword technique and encounter Xu Yunfeng again, I'll show him who's boss!"
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Ning returned to his small courtyard in the martial arts academy.
Then, taking advantage of the sunrise not yet arriving, he continued his practice in the courtyard.
He completed one round of the Five Beasts Fist.
【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】
He started the second round.
【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】
The flawless version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar. The first release of this novel.
Two rounds of the technique were completed.
Jiang Ning successfully gained 4 experience points in the Five Beasts Fist and six strands of vital energy.
【Skills】: Five Beasts Fist (Minor Mastery 86/500)
At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the distant horizon was tinged with crimson.
This signified the imminent rise of the Great Sun.
Seeing this, he stopped his practice.
Because every day, after the sunrise and until the second hour, was the crucial time for him to absorb the essence of the Great Sun and increase his experience in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
Once the second hour passed and the third hour began, the essence of the Great Sun would become even more intense, which was beyond the level that his current Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique could handle.
Although the incomplete manual did not record what to do next, based on his deduction, he needed to absorb the essence of the Great Sun for another hour to effectively refine his five viscera and six bowels, thereby increasing his experience in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
When he first entered the academy, he had tried this.
During the two minutes of the Great Sun's rise, absorbing its essence had no effect on his viscera, and his experience in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique no longer increased.
A moment later, the Great Sun rose, filling the sky with crimson.
The warm sunlight at sunrise also fell upon Jiang Ning.
He continued to wait patiently for the sun to fully rise, as his Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique had already begun, and his five viscera and six bowels had undergone initial refinement.
Absorbing the gentle essence of the rising sun no longer increased his experience in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
After several breaths.
The Great Sun rose completely.
Jiang Ning focused on the rising sun, practicing the absorption technique within his Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
With each breath, he suddenly felt as if a fiery snake was entering his nasal cavity and flowing into his five viscera and six bowels.
Despite this sensation, he remained calm, as he had enough experience.
【Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique Experience +1】
He continued to absorb the essence of the rising sun.
At the same time.
On a tall building in the distance.
Shen Congyun, wearing a green robe, gazed at Jiang Ning from several kilometers away.
"This is impossible!"
His mouth agape, his face no longer calm but filled with shock.
"How is this possible?" Shen Congyun muttered to himself. "Without the guidance of a complete method, how dare he absorb the essence of the rising sun? Does he not know what the word 'death' means?"
At this moment, Shen Congyun doubted his own understanding of the world.
The Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique was something he knew inside and out.
This was an unexpected treasure he had acquired, an ultimate technique.
Although it lacked a perfect method, an ultimate technique was still an ultimate technique. Even if it could only reach perfection, it was no less impressive than any superior martial art.
