Chapter 68: Breakthrough in Blade Technique, Dual Essence Powers!
The carriage continued its journey towards the Martial Academy.
Before long, the carriage smoothly arrived at the entrance of the academy.
Standing on the carriage, Cheng Ran watched as Jiang Ning walked towards the main gate of the academy.
Suddenly, Cheng Ran spoke up again.
"Jiang Shidi!"
Hearing this call, Jiang Ning turned around.
Cheng Ran spoke again, "It's all my fault, Shixiong! If Master Wang hadn't appeared, you would have been in great danger!"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's fine, Shixiong. You should head back early. There's no need to bring this up again."
After saying this, he stepped over the threshold of the academy and disappeared from Jiang Ning's sight.
Watching Jiang Ning leave, Cheng Ran instructed the carriage driver, "Let's go home!"
After giving this command, he turned and entered the carriage.
"Gee-up!"
Under the driver's control, the carriage started moving again, heading towards the Cheng Family residence.
Inside the carriage.
Cheng Ran looked at Elder Zheng beside him.
"Ah..."
He sighed softly.
"Is the Young Master blaming me?" Elder Zheng asked.
Cheng Ran shook his head, "How could I blame Elder Zheng? It's my fault for being reckless! I almost endangered Jiang Ning by bringing him out!"
Elder Zheng looked at Cheng Ran and explained, "Young Master, it's not that I don't want to follow your orders. But it's inconvenient to offend Xu Yunfeng. He works for Cao Bin, and with his strength, he will eventually enter the Patrol Bureau."
"You also know how much power the Patrol Bureau holds. It's best not to offend a person like Xu Yunfeng."
"Moreover, although I've reached the Ninth Stage of Martial Dao, the stage of Qi and Blood Mastery, my body is aging, and my vital energy is declining. Even if I give it my all, I might not be his match!"
"After all, youthful vigor triumphs in combat! Whether it's physical strength or bodily functions, I can't keep up with the younger generation anymore!"
Cheng Ran said, "Elder Zheng, I understand all this. In the end, it's my fault! Today, I almost endangered Jiang Shidi. No matter how I think about it, I can't help but feel uneasy!"
After saying this, he sighed deeply.
Meanwhile, at the Martial Academy.
"You're back?" Wang Jin asked, standing in the front courtyard.
"Master!" Jiang Ning clasped his hands respectfully.
"Close the main gate and come with me!" Wang Jin said, walking towards his residence in the backyard with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, Master!" Jiang Ning replied and turned back towards the main gate of the academy.
Boom!
As he pushed the gate, it slowly closed.
After securing the gate bolt, he headed towards the backyard of the academy, in the direction of Wang Jin's residence.
Upon reaching the backyard of the academy.
Wang Jin was already seated on a bamboo chair woven from bamboo strips.
He pointed to the empty bamboo chair beside him, "Sit down and talk!"
"Yes, Master!"
After Jiang Ning took a seat.
Wang Jin spoke, "What are your thoughts on tonight's experience?"
"Master's might is awe-inspiring!" Jiang Ning exclaimed.
Wang Jin immediately laughed, "I didn't ask you to flatter me!"
Jiang Ning pondered for a moment before speaking, "Truth lies only within the realm of the fist."
Hearing these words, Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.
"You've got the right idea, young one!"
"The fist is the truth. As for the rest, they're all nonsense!"
"As long as you're strong enough, even if you surpass me, the three great families of Cao, Cheng, and Xie will have to bow before you."
"Your family's troubles are nothing to worry about!"
Jiang Ning nodded, "Master, I understand. I will work twice as hard to learn the fist!"
Wang Jin showed a relieved expression, "Good! Stay indoors these days. It's a good thing I arrived in time tonight. If that constable had caught you and taken you to the county jail, it wouldn't have been easy for me to get you out!"
"After all, in this county, my strength is decent, but I'm not invincible!"
"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Ning expressed his gratitude again.
Wang Jin waved his hands dismissively, "Talking won't help! The stronger my disciples are, the more face I'll have. Train hard, make me proud, and that's the best way to repay me!"
"Yes, Master Wang!" Jiang Ning replied with a respectful gesture.
After leaving Wang Jin's courtyard and returning to his residence, Jiang Ning walked deep in thought.
Strange!
Xu Yunfeng didn't dare to make a move before, but why did he dare to attack me tonight?
Has something happened?
Has someone given Xu Yunfeng the courage to defy his teacher?
That doesn't make sense either!
If Xu Yunfeng wasn't afraid of his teacher, he wouldn't have acted like that earlier.
Standing in his own courtyard, Jiang Ning shook his head slightly after much contemplation.
Forget it!
Unless I can catch Xu Yunfeng and confront him, there's no point in overthinking things.
[Skill]: Canglang Blade Technique (Beginner 43/100)
Glancing at his skill panel, Jiang Ning muttered to himself.
If I can break through and master this blade technique, I should be able to kill Xu Yunfeng with a single strike, right?
He then focused his mind.

Swish—
The long blade unsheathed, reflecting the cold moonlight like a mirror, emitting chilling rays.
"When the enemy comes, the soldiers will block; when the water comes, the earth will cover it!"
"Strengthening my abilities is my top priority right now."
"As long as I'm strong enough, like Master Wang, there's nothing to fear."
Swish—
Swish—
Swish—
The long blade tore through the air, stirring up gusts of wind and waves around it. Leaves and dust on the ground swirled and spread in all directions.

Experience points continued to rise as he practiced the blade technique, and insights about the skill flooded into Jiang Ning's mind.
In this state of intense focus, Jiang Ning felt that even without the panel's mystical effects, he might have been able to achieve this level.
The following day at noon.
Swish—
As the blade fell, it stirred up a gust of wind, carrying dust and spreading in all directions.

As this prompt appeared before Jiang Ning, his skill panel also changed.
[Skill]: Canglang Blade Technique (Mastery 0/200)
At this moment, the Canglang Blade Technique officially broke through from beginner to mastery.
Jiang Ning stood like a statue, his eyes slightly closed, and his arms bulging with veins like winding dragons.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and lightly waved the blade in his right hand.
Swish—
The blade's edge briefly glinted in the air.
Jiang Ning felt that with this strike, he had split the air like a tidal wave.
"The blade is faster now!"
He casually waved the long blade in his hand a couple of times.
Buzz—
As the essence force circulated, the long blade in his hand vibrated slightly.
Simultaneously, a powerful force condensed within him, ready to be unleashed.
He could clearly sense that once this force erupted, it would be like a flood released from a dam, causing a tremendous uproar.
After carefully sensing the force within him, Jiang Ning thought to himself.
"With my mastery of the blade technique, I've naturally grasped the twofold essence force!"
"Once the twofold essence force erupts, the power of this strike will be more than double that of the previous level!"
"However, my current physique cannot withstand this immense power. The previous level's force already caused my arm muscles to tear and my veins to burst. Therefore, I cannot use the combined might of the twofold essence force unless it's a life-or-death situation!"
