Chapter 79: Breakthrough, The Perfection of Fist Technique!

Chapter 79: Breakthrough, The Perfection of Fist Technique!

The next day, Jiang Ning woke up and immediately checked his panel.

【Essence Energy】: 9.3

"Yesterday it was 6.8, today it's 9.3."

"A daily increase of 2.5 points, not bad, really good!"

Looking at the changes on the panel, Jiang Ning felt even more optimistic.

In the past few days, even with the brief and sufficient supply of wild ginseng, his essence energy points were only increasing at a rate of about two points per day.

But yesterday, after absorbing two additional Qi and Blood Pills, he gained more than twenty strands of Qi and Blood Power, which was equivalent to practicing the fist technique seven or eight times a day.

Even with his current high efficiency in refining Qi and Blood Power, this significantly increased his speed of accumulating Qi and Blood Power by about an additional twenty percent.

At the same time, it also brought him an additional boost in essence energy points.

The energy he absorbed yesterday increased by 2.5 essence energy points in just one day.

【Skills】:

Word Recognition (Limit Break 756/2000) (Characteristic: Photographic Memory)



Five Beasts Fist (Minor Achievement 356/500)



Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Limit Break 2000/2000) (Characteristic: Lateral Thinking)



Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique (Beginner 97/1000)



Tideblade Technique (Mastery 0/200)



He took another look at his panel.

In just one day, his progress was already very noticeable.

The Five Beasts Fist had increased by 82 experience points yesterday, bringing the total experience points to 356, leaving just over a hundred points to reach the 500-point requirement.

"Two days from now, my Five Beasts Fist will enter the realm of perfection," Jiang Ning thought to himself.

After washing up, he continued practicing his fists in the courtyard.

As he diligently practiced his fists, he could clearly feel his Qi and Blood growing stronger, and his strength increasing.

Especially with the two Qi and Blood Pills from yesterday, which gave him a pleasant surprise.

The two pills provided him with a total of fifty strands of Qi and Blood Power.

This greatly exceeded Wang Jin's claim that the pills could increase Qi and Blood Power by about twenty strands.

The difference was several times greater.

Jiang Ning had some speculations about this.

The enhancement of organ functions might also improve the absorption of medicinal effects.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Third Hour.

Jiang Ning stopped his breathing exercises and opened his panel.

【Essence Energy】: 19.3

【Skills】:

Five Beasts Fist (Minor Achievement 496/500)



Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique (Beginner 188/1000)



"I just need to practice the fist technique two more times, and my Five Beasts Fist will break through to perfection!"

"It's almost here! I'm about to break through!"

His eyes shone with excitement.

Then, he got up and started practicing his fists.

In the courtyard, each move was executed with vigor, and his agile movements occasionally stirred up gusts of wind.

At times, he was as nimble as a white ape, and at other times, as light as a deer.

The fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by his swift movements.

【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】

【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】

When the prompt appeared, Jiang Ning saw a sudden change on the panel.

【Skills】: Five Beasts Fist (Perfection 0/1000)



The next moment, he felt a surge of insights about the Five Beasts Fist flood into his mind.

At the same time, all the scenes of his fist practice from recent days flashed through his mind.

Time seemed to have passed in an instant, yet it also felt like an eternity.

When Jiang Ning opened his eyes, a bright gleam flashed in them.

"Finally, perfection!"

He moved, and in an instant, his figure turned into a residual shadow and rushed out.

In the small courtyard of forty square meters, his agile movements were unrestricted.

He moved through the courtyard like the wind, stirring up gusts.

His figure seemed to have no inertia or momentum, shifting left and right, up and down unpredictably, making it difficult to capture.

A moment later, Jiang Ning's figure suddenly came to a stop, transitioning from motion to stillness, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"The perfected Five Beasts Fist not only greatly enhances my explosive power, but also significantly improves my agility and speed. I move like the wind, and my transitions between movement and stillness are effortless."

"This agility is enough for me to deal with ordinary Ninth Rank Martial Artists."

A confident gleam flashed in his eyes.

With this agility, even if he couldn't match a skilled Ninth Rank Martial Artist like Cao Bin, who had specialized in martial arts for many years, he at least had some capital to protect himself.

With his endurance, he was confident he could escape with a certain chance of survival.

Then he thought of Cao Rong from a few days ago.

When Cao Rong drew his bow and released the arrow, it created a sonic boom, and the speed of the arrow exceeded the speed of sound.

Thinking of Cao Rong, the sense of self-satisfaction in his heart vanished without a trace.

"My strength is far from sufficient. I must enter the Martial Arts rank as soon as possible!"

"According to what Wang Jin said yesterday, Shen Congyun will return to the headquarters in Guangning Prefecture early tomorrow morning to receive punishment for violating the rules of Wan Hua Tower."

After learning this, a sense of crisis suddenly filled his heart.

With Shen Congyun leaving Luoshui County, the deterrence against the Cao family would greatly decrease.

So he dared not take it lightly.

Then, he walked out of his small courtyard and headed to the stone lock in the front courtyard of the martial arts academy.

He stood before the four-hundred-jin stone lock.

His left hand gripped the cold fine iron of the stone lock.

"Lift!" he muttered to himself, and his muscles tightened with force.

The next moment, the four-hundred-jin stone lock lifted off the ground, completely suspended in mid-air.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile, "The strength in my left arm has also reached four hundred jin!"

Boom—

As he placed the stone lock back on the ground, a dull thud reverberated from beneath it.

"With four hundred jin in my left arm, I wonder if my right arm can lift a five-hundred-jin stone lock."

With this thought in mind, he approached the five-hundred-jin stone lock, clenched his right hand, and exerted force with his entire body, his face instantly turning red.

After a moment, he released the force from his body, exhaling the turbid energy from his abdomen, and shook his head slightly.

"Still a bit far off!"

"Five hundred jin of force is indeed not something that can be achieved easily."

"But it's normal, after all, my Qi and Blood Power haven't even reached the Great Achievement level, let alone the Perfect Achievement!"

"Having four hundred jin of force is already because of my Great Achievement in Bear Form Fist and the power gained from repeatedly breaking through in my blade technique."

He clenched his fist, feeling the surge of strength and Qi and Blood Power, which instantly coursed through both his arms.

"Continue practicing the fist technique. Now that Wang Jin has provided me with resources, I must seize this opportunity to quickly achieve Perfect Qi and Blood, and then enter the Ninth Stage of Martial Dao as soon as possible."

"Without reaching the Ninth Stage, the gap is too wide, and I don't even have the qualifications to pass the Inspection Bureau's assessment and join them."

Cao Residence.

"Big brother, do you have to leave now?" Cao Bin followed behind Cao Rong.

Cao Rong carried a powerful bow on his back and a quiver hung at his waist, containing seven arrows.

His steps were steady, appearing slow, but in reality, he moved at an astonishing speed.

This was because the distance he covered with each step far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Each step was over a meter.

Cao Rong said, "There's an urgent military order from above, and I need to return to report immediately! The Black Gale Army has recently infiltrated Dongling Prefecture. I have to go back and participate in their eradication."

"The Black Gale Army has come to Dongling Prefecture?" Cao Bin's face showed surprise.

"Yes, so you should instruct the merchant caravan to rest for now, and send more people to guard the iron mine at Tieling Mountain." Cao Rong instructed.

"Yes, big brother!" Cao Bin quickly followed Cao Rong's footsteps and responded.

At this moment, Cao Rong had also arrived at the stable, patting his horse.

"Huff—"

The horse was over two meters tall, its body gleaming with oil, and it was exceptionally well-fed.

Anyone who knew horses would recognize this as a truly exceptional steed.

The horse rubbed its head against Cao Rong's head, and Cao Rong mounting the horse, it seemed to understand his intentions.

Seeing this, Cao Bin quickly spoke up, "Big brother, what about Jiang Ning? I heard that Shen Congyun is about to leave for the Guangning Prefecture headquarters to receive punishment."

"Once he leaves, who knows when he'll be back? Do I still need to bring gifts and apologize to that kid?"

Cao Rong thought for a moment, then said, "It's up to you to decide!"

Cao Bin said, "Shen Congyun is leaving, and who knows when he'll be back! Our Cao family has come this far, why should we bow our heads and apologize to a mere commoner? I don't want to go."

Cao Rong nodded, "You don't have to go if you don't want to! Since the Wan Hua Tower headquarters is punishing Shen Congyun, he won't have the chance to return to Luoshui County for a while!"

"In a year or so, I should be able to enter the Sixth Stage of Martial Dao."

Hearing this news, Cao Bin's expression suddenly lit up with joy.

"Big brother is about to break through?"

Cao Rong said, "Soon! It could be as fast as half a year, or as long as one or two years, but I will definitely enter the Sixth Stage. At that time, my position will improve."

Hearing Cao Rong's words, Cao Bin's face beamed with joy, and his confidence soared.

"Since big brother feels this way, there's no need to apologize."

"You decide!" Cao Rong said, preparing to ride off, but then he seemed to remember something.

He glanced at Cao Bin, "No matter what you do, don't go overboard and create a deadly feud. That kid must have something special for Wang Jin to value him so highly, even if it means breaking ties with us."

"And for Shen Congyun to value him so much, it shows something even more."

"That kid must have exceptional Martial Dao talent to be valued by both Shen Congyun and Wang Jin."

Cao Bin said, "Big brother, rest assured, I understand!"

Cao Rong looked at him once more, then patted the horse's back.

"Giddyup—"

As he gave the command, the horse beneath him seemed to understand and galloped out of the courtyard.

The sound of hoofbeats echoed through the early morning streets of Luoshui County, along the wide inner city road, heading straight for the city gate.

Cao Bin watched Cao Rong's departing figure, feeling a sense of relief.

In the Cao family, although Cao Rong wasn't the head of the family, his words carried more weight than even the family head.

The Cao family's current status was largely due to Cao Rong's strength and position.

He had brought the Cao family to new heights.

Therefore, Cao Bin always had an innate sense of fear towards Cao Rong.

Soon after, a look of delight appeared in Cao Bin's eyes.

"Big brother is about to advance further, and Shen Congyun is also leaving. What else do I have to worry about?"

Cao Bin's heart stirred with ambition.

But then he remembered Cao Rong's departing words, and he shook his head.

"No! Big brother is right, it's better not to offend that kid!"

"For Shen Congyun and that old man Wang Jin to value him so highly, this kid's Martial Dao talent must be extraordinary."

He suppressed the ambitious thoughts that had arisen in his heart.
