Chapter 62: Mastering the Blade, Grasping the Power!
Chapter 62: Mastering the Blade, Grasping the Power!
At the Canglang Martial Academy.
After practicing the Tideblade Technique, Jiang Ning went to the front yard, unlocked the door bolt, and opened the academy's main gate.
He then returned to his small courtyard to continue his blade training.
Since he could gain experience points for the Intermediate Martial Arts technique, Tideblade Technique, and it was so simple, he decided to master it in one go and personally experience the mysteries of internal power.
He wanted to grasp the mysteries of this Intermediate Martial Arts technique, which focused on attack and defense.
As the sun rose higher, the temperature also increased.
Amidst the pouring sweat, Jiang Ning repeatedly practiced the Tideblade Technique.

[Skills]: Tideblade Technique (Unmastered 9/10)
After drinking a large bowl of well water and chewing on the remaining wild ginseng from the previous day, Jiang Ning felt his fatigue gradually dissipate, and his energy slowly replenished.
He rested under the shade of a tree for a while, then stood up to make his final push for mastery.
He held the sword and practiced again, the blade flashing.
After completing a set of the Tideblade Technique.
[Tideblade Technique Experience +1]
The prompt appeared before him.
[Skills]: Tideblade Technique (Beginner 0/100)
Jiang Ning had officially mastered the Tideblade Technique.
The next moment.
He closed his eyes, and in his mind, countless sword flashes passed by.
Countless images of drawing, swinging, and sheathing the sword continuously appeared in his thoughts.
Every movement and posture manifested from various angles in his mind.
He also gained insights about the Tideblade Technique.
At the same time, the invisible power that flowed through his body while practicing the sword earlier began to condense.
It gradually solidified, as if it were real.
A moment later.
He opened his eyes, and countless sword flashes seemed to appear within them.
These sword flashes merged and then disappeared.
Clang!
Jiang Ning drew his sword, and the long blade trembled in his hand, emitting a buzzing sound.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the power flowing through his body, a vast and mighty force akin to the roar of mountains and seas.
The long blade trembled under the flow of his power.
"Is this the so-called Nine Levels of Power?"
Feeling the power within him, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be fascinated.
"What a powerful feeling!"
Then, his gaze fell on the wooden post in front of him.
The wooden post before him was made from a hundred-year-old iron tree.
This tree's hardness was said to rival that of hundred-forged steel, and when wrapped in bullhide, it became a sturdy wooden post for the academy's disciples to practice their skills.
He had occasionally used this wooden post as a target during his fist training.
For days, this wooden post had shown no signs of damage.
The next moment, Jiang Ning's long blade, empowered by the Nine Levels of Power, struck the wooden post.
The power surged through his right arm, and the Nine Levels of Power flowed into the long blade.
Whoosh!
The blade pierced the air, and the air rippled like waves.
Boom!!!
The sturdy wooden post, wrapped in bullhide, suddenly exploded, and the bullhide covering it tore like broken cloth, scattering in all directions.
"So strong?" Jiang Ning's mouth hung open as he stared at the half-destroyed wooden post.
It was known that he had tested this wooden post many times before, and even with his full-strength punch, capable of exerting a thousand jin of force, the wooden post had shown no signs of damage.
But now, this single strike not only split it almost in half.
The released power caused the wooden post to shatter, and the bullhide covering it tore like broken cloth, scattering on the ground.
"Indeed worthy of being an Intermediate Martial Arts technique, and indeed more powerful than the Tiger Power!"
Then.
Jiang Ning exerted force with his right arm, preparing to draw the longsword.
However, just as he exerted force, he couldn't help but gasp in pain.
His right arm, which had been exposed to the sun for nearly half a month, now tanned to a wheatish color, had fine blood vessels bursting open.
"I was careless!" Jiang Ning realized that unleashing the Nine Levels of Power was too much for his current physique to handle.
The sheer force caused his muscles, skin, and vessels to tear under the immense pressure.
"It seems that for me now, unleashing the Nine Levels of Power is a double-edged sword, powerful but damaging."
"The Nine Levels of Power is indeed strong, worthy of being the essence of Intermediate Martial Arts!"
"It's far more powerful than the Tiger Strength Zhao Hu displayed yesterday, completely on another level!"
"With just the first level of power, I can unleash several times my current strength, enough to decide life and death with a single strike!"
"This is indeed an ultimate move!"
"If I can master the Tideblade Technique and unleash the second level of power, the combined might would be unimaginable!"
"But I wonder if my current physique can withstand the second level of power?"
Jiang Ning's thoughts raced as he released his right hand and gripped the sword hilt with his left. With a forceful pull, he smoothly drew the longsword.
He examined the blade, finding no curls or imperfections.
"Excellent!" He nodded in satisfaction, "As expected of the hundred-forged fine iron, worth a hundred taels, it's truly durable!"
Sheathing the sword, Jiang Ning rubbed his right arm, and his vital energy circulated, gradually healing his torn skin.
In just a moment, the pain subsided significantly, and the swelling in his arm returned to normal. The bruise on his arm also faded away.
"The power of vital energy is indeed mysterious and wondrous!" Jiang Ning marveled as he felt his torn skin heal and the pain diminish.
Then, he continued practicing with the sword.
Having personally experienced the power of the Nine Levels of Power, he decided to continue practicing the Tideblade Technique until he mastered it, making it his top priority.
The first level of power alone had such an explosive force, allowing him to unleash strength beyond his physical limits.
If he mastered the sword technique, he could unleash the second level of power, doubling the might.
Although he knew that even the first level of power was a challenge for his physique, as evidenced by the torn skin from the previous attempt.
The second level of power would double the strain, and the consequences were unimaginable.
However, he also knew that once he mastered the Tideblade Technique, he would have a powerful trump card.
If he encountered Xu Yunfeng again, he would have the ability to strike with deadly force if necessary.
This was a life-saving trump card, a true ultimate move!
No one would expect that in less than a month of cultivation, he would possess such terrifying power.
Therefore, in Jiang Ning's view, adding this ultimate move was essential, even if his current crisis remained unresolved.
This trump card might not be used, but it was indispensable.
Preventing trouble before it happens!
Moreover, mastering the Tideblade Technique was not difficult, much simpler than the Five Beasts Fist.
So, he naturally made this sword technique his current top priority.
