Chapter 58: Strength Enhancement
Chapter 58: Strength Enhancement
Jiang Ning's Courtyard.
After finishing his morning routine, he looked up at the sky above. The sun had not yet risen, and there was clearly some time before sunrise.
He then walked out of his courtyard and arrived at the front yard of the martial arts hall.
The sky was just beginning to brighten at this moment.
The entire front yard of the martial arts hall was quiet, and he could only hear some noises coming from the direction of the kitchen, presumably from Sun Daining.
He then went to one corner of the front yard, where the stone locks were stacked.
On regular days, these stone locks were used by the disciples to train their strength and test their power.
He had come here to test his current strength.
Knowing his own strength would give him a rough idea of his capabilities.
Standing before a 300-catty stone lock.
The stone lock was connected by an arm-thick piece of refined iron in the middle, and the forging marks and textures on this iron were extremely distinct. With just a glance, Jiang Ning knew that this was refined iron forged dozens of times.
Only after being forged dozens of times would the refined iron have sufficient hardness and toughness to withstand the weight of this 300-catty stone lock.
Then, Jiang Ning slightly lowered his body, gripping the arm-thick refined iron on the stone lock with his right hand.
The next moment, as he exerted force, this 300-catty piece of refined 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 exceeded 300 catties."
Then, he thought of his past life.
According to his knowledge, the limit recorded in his past life's human records was lifting a 300-catty barbell with one hand.
In other words, at this moment, his strength had caught up with the peak of humanity in his past life.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but marvel.
After just over ten days of practice, he had caught up with the peak of humanity in his past life, which made him realize just how profound the martial arts path in this world was.
It was an extraordinary path.
Then, he slowly lowered the stone lock and tried to lift the 300-catty stone lock with his left hand.
With a clench of his teeth, his left hand also struggled to lift the 300-catty stone lock with difficulty.
"My left arm also has 300 catties of strength," he muttered to himself.
Then he approached the 400-catty stone lock.
"Let's try and see if my right arm can lift it."
As this thought arose, Jiang Ning lowered his body, gripping the thick refined iron.
With his exertion of force, the 400-catty stone lock suddenly moved, but it did not leave the ground.
He clenched his teeth again and exerted more force.
The 400-catty stone lock momentarily lifted off the ground, rubbing against the ground and moving left and right in his hand.
"No good!!!"
Jiang Ning shook his head and slowly retracted his force.
Boom—
The stone lock fell to the ground.
At this moment, Jiang Ning had a clear understanding of his current strength.
The breakthrough in his knife technique had once again slightly enhanced the strength of his arms.
His right arm's strength exceeded 300 catties, reaching around 350 catties.
His left arm's strength reached 300 catties.
Even though his Vital Energy cultivation was only at the Minor Success stage in martial arts, his strength level had clearly almost caught up with Xiao Peng, who had achieved Great Achievement in Vital Energy.
"A typical person with Perfected Vital Energy would have a strength of 500 catties as a starting point, still far surpassing me."
"But if I have a knife in hand, this difference in strength of over 100 catties won't be so noticeable!"
"Now, give me a knife, and the force I exert with my breakthrough should not be weaker than those with a strength of 500 catties."
"I wonder if I can be Xu Yunfeng's opponent?"
Jiang Ning murmured to himself, deep in thought.
After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head slowly, "No rush, with my Tiger Fist at Great Achievement and the wild ginseng in hand, a powerful tonic for the body, give me a few more days, and I'll be able to practice the Five Beasts Fist to the level of Great Achievement."
"By then, my Vital Energy should reach Great Achievement, flowing through my limbs."
"My strength will further increase, not inferior to ordinary martial artists with Perfect Vital Energy."
"If I can find a blade technique and encounter Xu Yunfeng again, I'll make sure to defeat him this time!"
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Ning returned to his courtyard in the martial academy.
Taking advantage of the early morning before sunrise, he continued his fist practice in the courtyard.
After completing one set of the Five Beasts Fist...
【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】
He continued with a second set.
【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】
After two sets, Jiang Ning successfully gained 4 experience points in the Five Beasts Fist and 6 strands of Vital Energy.
【Skill】: Five Beasts Fist (Minor Success 86/500)
At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the distant horizon was painted with a crimson glow, signaling the imminent rise of the sun.
This was the time when the sun's essence and energy were at their peak, and it was crucial for Jiang Ning to absorb and refine the sun's energy to increase his Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique experience.
After the eighth hour of the morning, as the sun's energy became more intense, it would be too powerful for his current level of Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique to absorb.
Although the fragmented manual didn't mention the subsequent steps, Jiang Ning inferred that he would need to absorb the sun's energy for another hour to effectively refine his five viscera and six bowels and increase his Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique experience.
Just as he had tried after initially learning the technique, the two minutes after sunrise were no longer effective for absorbing the sun's essence, and his Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique experience no longer increased.
A moment later, the sun rose, and the sky was filled with crimson light.
The warm sunlight at sunrise bathed Jiang Ning.
He calmly waited for the sun to fully rise, as his Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique had reached the initial stage, and his five viscera and six bowels had undergone preliminary refinement.
Absorbing the gentle sun's essence at sunrise no longer increased his Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique experience.
After several breaths, the sun fully rose.
Jiang Ning began to practice the absorption technique from the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique, and you have successfully increased your experience in this technique.
【Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique Experience +1】
As Jiang Ning continued to absorb the sun's essence, in a distant high-rise building, Shen Congyun, dressed in a green robe, gazed at Jiang Ning from miles away.
"This... This is impossible!" Shen Congyun exclaimed, his mouth agape, his previous calmness replaced by sheer astonishment.
"How can this be?" Shen Congyun muttered again, "Without the guidance of a complete technique, how dare he absorb the sun's essence? Does he not know the meaning of death?"
Shen Congyun was in disbelief.
The Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique was something he knew intimately.
It was a supreme skill he had obtained by chance, albeit with a missing perfection technique.
Even without the perfection technique, this supreme skill was unparalleled, and even at the Great Achievement level, it was no less impressive than any advanced martial art.
