Chapter 61: The Effects of Intermediate Martial Arts (PK Seek to Read!)
In the backyard.
Just as Wang Jin was about to leave his room to continue enjoying breakfast, he saw Jiang Ning return with a folded body.
He was startled, "Why have you come back again, you little one?"
Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said, "Master, I would like to ask you for a blade. I want to carry the blade with me day and night to become familiar with its feel."
Upon hearing these words, Wang Jin suddenly recalled Jiang Ning's process of learning the Five Beasts Fist.
After reading the fist manual once, he could remember it all and mimic the movements by observing his own practice, executing the fist technique with precision.
He couldn't help but chuckle at this.
"You sly one, I still don't understand your intentions!"
"Oh well!"
"If I don't let you try, you'll never be satisfied! Get familiar with the blade feel!"
Wang Jin returned to his room.
Jiang Ning stood in the courtyard, feeling a surge of excitement.
He naturally understood the meaning behind his master's words.
Although his master had seen through his desire to try the Canglang Blade Technique, he also implicitly approved of this action.
A moment later.
Wang Jin came out of his room again, holding a blade with a pitch-black hilt.
He then tossed the longsword towards Jiang Ning, who quickly caught it.
"This blade is called the Ebony Longsword. Its hilt and scabbard are made of ebony, and the blade is forged from a hundred times refined tempered iron, weighing fifteen pounds and valued at a hundred taels of silver!" Wang Jin explained.
Jiang Ning gripped the ebony blade and slowly drew it out.
A glint of cold light instantly reflected in his eyes.
The blade shone with a blinding radiance under the sun's glare.
Whoosh—
Jiang Ning flicked the hilt, sheathing the longsword.
He then cupped his hands and bowed, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this blade!"
Wang Jin said, "Since you want to try it, go back and give it a good try! I know you, young one, will never be satisfied until you give it a try!"
"Only Master understands me!" Jiang Ning chuckled.
"Alright, go back!" Wang Jin waved his hand, "After trying it, you'll realize it's impossible for you now!"
"After that, focus on practicing the fist technique. As for this blade, just get familiar with it from time to time!"
Jiang Ning cupped his hands again and bowed, "Thank you, Master!"
Back in his own courtyard.
At this time, it was still over half a day until the martial arts academy opened at the fourth hour of the morning.
Jiang Ning slowly drew out the ebony blade, and the entire length of the glistening ebony longsword appeared in his hands.
The blade was two feet and seven inches long and weighed fifteen pounds.
Holding it in his hand, Jiang Ning could feel the heavy weight.
Even with his current single-arm strength exceeding three hundred pounds, the fifteen-pound blade didn't feel heavy or light, but rather, it felt just right.
"Valued at a hundred taels of silver, this is not cheap at all!"
Jiang Ning marveled as he held the ebony longsword in his hands.
A hundred taels of silver was a decade's worth of living expenses for an average civilian family of three.
Gripping the black hilt, Jiang Ning casually waved the longsword.
He instantly felt a sense of harmony between the blade and himself, as if they were blood and flesh.
He swung the blade through the air.
Whoosh—
The cold glint of the blade cut through the sky, instantly slicing a floating leaf in half.
"This feels amazing!!!"
Jiang Ning was captivated.
Holding the longsword, he felt a surge of confidence.
Even if Xu Yunfeng appeared before him, he dared to confront him head-on.
Gripping the longsword, Jiang Ning stood in the courtyard and slowly closed his eyes.
Instantly, his mind recalled the Canglang Blade Technique he had carefully reviewed.
After a few breaths.
Jiang Ning suddenly opened his eyes, having completed a thorough recollection. The practice methods of the Canglang Blade Technique were vividly clear in his mind.
The next moment.
The records of the Canglang Blade Technique in his mind came to life as he wielded the blade with precise movements.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
The blade created a buzzing sound as it sliced through the air.
Wielding the Canglang Blade Technique.
At this moment, the weapon in his hand felt familiar, not strange, but incredibly familiar.
In his hands, the object seemed to have been with him for countless years, and he was extremely familiar with it.
At the same time, the Canglang Blade Technique was executed flawlessly.
The blade's gleam flashed across the courtyard, slicing through the air with each swing.
At this moment, he seemed like an expert who had immersed himself in the way of the blade for many years!
Holding the blade, he moved with ease and grace, without a hint of awkwardness.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning could also sense something.
As he practiced the Canglang Blade Technique, an invisible force circulated within his body, as if drawing something out.

One round of the blade technique completed.

Jiang Ning exhaled slowly, his face slightly red, and his body warmed up, with fine sweat on his forehead.
He clenched his fist, feeling the vague yet tangible sensation within his body.
"Is this the process of essence force being born?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, deep in thought.
[Skill]: Canglang Blade Technique (Beginner 1/10)
He glanced at the panel again, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It really works! With this incredible panel, I can indeed master this intermediate-level martial art."
Seeing the changes on the panel, he was instantly motivated.
By mastering the technique, he could grasp the powerful Ninefold Power.
This meant that the might unleashed by the Canglang Blade Technique at the beginner level could rival the Five Beasts Fist at the perfection level, and even surpass it.
After all, the Ninefold Power, a force refined from an intermediate-level martial art, was more powerful than the Tiger Power, a force refined from a beginner-level martial art.
"Perhaps only by perfecting all five fist techniques and refining the Five Beasts Essence Power can I match the Ninefold Power at the beginner level!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.
He sensed the changes in his body again, and his face lit up even more.
Because the energy consumption of practicing the blade technique seemed to be less than that of practicing the Five Beasts Fist.
"Let's practice the blade technique once more!"
With this thought, Jiang Ning practiced the Canglang Blade Technique again.
The Canglang Blade Technique draws its essence from the continuous and surging waves.
This blade technique, when used offensively, is characterized by swift and powerful strikes, each one faster and stronger than the last, with relentless attacks that leave no room for breathers.
When used defensively, the blade's gleam transforms into an impenetrable water curtain, not allowing even a drop to pass through.
After practicing the blade technique for the second time, Jiang Ning felt that his understanding of the Canglang Blade Technique had deepened.
He clearly felt an invisible force circulating within his body.

[Skill]: Canglang Blade Technique (Beginner 2/10)
Looking at the changes on the panel and sensing the changes in his body again, Jiang Ning was certain.
Although the Canglang Blade Technique was an intermediate-level martial art, the energy consumption of practicing this technique was still less than that of the Five Beasts Fist.
This indicated that he would gain experience points in this intermediate-level martial art faster than in the Five Beasts Fist.
The doubts in his mind flashed by, and he quickly understood.
Because with each practice of the Five Beasts Fist, the fundamental aspects of the body are involved.
Practicing the Five Beasts Fist refines the power of qi and blood, strengthening the physique.
The physique is the foundation of strength.
The Five Beasts Fist is the fundamental technique before attaining a martial rank.
Therefore, it naturally consumes more energy.
Although the Canglang Blade Technique is an intermediate-level martial art, it is more inclined towards technique.
So, in Jiang Ning's opinion, the minimal physical consumption made sense.
In Jiang Ning's view, if he had to choose one, the Five Beasts Fist, despite being a beginner-level martial art, was still more important than the Canglang Blade Technique.
Without a strong physique and vital energy, all techniques are like castles in the air, easily toppled.
"Now that I've obtained the Canglang Blade Technique, an intermediate-level martial art, as long as I make progress in it, my strength will surely soar!"
"But I can't neglect the Five Beasts Fist either. Refining the vital energy and strengthening the physique are the foundation of the body and a necessary condition for advancing in martial arts."
Jiang Ning muttered to himself, clear about the importance of both.
