Chapter 82: Second Limit Break, New Traits
Chapter 82: Second Limit Break, New Traits
At the city gate of Luoshui County, under the cover of night, Shen Congyun's carriage gradually disappeared from sight.
Lin Qingyi withdrew her gaze and glanced at Jiang Ning with a faint look.
"Shen Congyun has entrusted you to me. If you have any matters in the future, you can come to Wan Hua Tower to find me!"
"But let me tell you beforehand, I won't help you like Shen Congyun did! I will only assist you within reasonable limits, and you'll have to rely on yourself for the rest."
"I understand, Senior," Jiang Ning replied. "Thank you, Senior!"
"Don't call me Senior, it sounds terrible!" Lin Qingyi said.
"Thank you, Sister Lin!" Jiang Ning smiled.
"You're good at taking advantage of the situation!" Lin Qingyi remarked with a faint smile, then turned and left.
As she turned, a hint of a smile appeared on her lips.
Being called 'sister' by someone valued by Shen Congyun made her feel delighted.
This feeling was completely different from what others gave her.
In her eyes, being valued by Shen Congyun meant that they were worthy of her attention.
Especially since Jiang Ning's appearance met her aesthetic standards, making her feel very pleased.
Furthermore, Jiang Ning's age, eighteen years old, was also a factor.
It wasn't just men who adored eighteen-year-olds.
Women felt the same way!
At this moment, as Lin Qingyi's figure disappeared into the distance, Jiang Ning's heart stirred slightly.
No rejection! That meant she agreed!
Being able to call her 'sister' was a good thing! At least he could take advantage of the situation!
Meanwhile, in a nearby tavern, Cao Bin slowly turned his gaze from the direction of the city gate.
"It really was Shen Congyun in that carriage! He's truly gone!"
"With him gone, I feel much more at ease."
"Cultivating both inner and outer strength, and already refining inner breath at the Seventh Stage Martial Artist level, it's truly terrifying!"
"If my brother can reach the Sixth Stage, it won't be long before he's no longer afraid of him!"
At the same time, even though it was night, the buildings on both sides of the street were filled with activity.
Numerous figures swiftly dashed through the darkness, spreading the news.
Back at the martial academy, Jiang Ning resumed his fist training.
With each punch, his experience in Five Animals Fist increased by one point.
"One set of fist techniques, one point of experience, and four strands of Vital Energy."
Jiang Ning clenched his fist, feeling the surging Vital Energy coursing through his body, empowering him with a formidable force.
"My previous estimation was slightly off. The total amount of Vital Energy required to cultivate the lower limbs is significantly higher than that of the upper limbs."
"However, with my current efficiency, within a month, I'll achieve perfection in the fist technique, accumulating a total of four thousand strands of Vital Energy. With the additional effects of the Vital Energy Pill, it should be sufficient for me to reach complete Vital Energy perfection."
He continued his fist training, feeling more confident with each increment of Vital Energy and strength.
Before going to bed, he checked his status once more.
[Essence Energy]: 19.9
[Skills]: Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Limit Break 2000/2000) (Trait: Analogous Understanding)
"Tomorrow, I'll reach 20 points. I wonder if it's enough for the second limit break of the blade technique."
With this thought in mind, he gradually entered a deep sleep state, allowing his body to recover overnight.
The next morning, as the sky brightened, Jiang Ning opened his eyes and got out of bed.
With a stretch of his limbs and a crack of his joints, a crisp sound reverberated throughout his body.
"Ah, that's better!" He sighed, then immediately checked his status.
[Essence Energy]: 21.9
[Skills]: Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Limit Break 2000/2000) (Trait: Analogous Understanding)
"Hmm?" Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed as he saw the status.
"Can it really be that 20 points are enough for the second limit break?"
His face showed surprise.
He hadn't held much hope for the second limit break of the skill.
20 points of Essence Energy was a simple task for him now.
It would only take eight or nine days.
So, he assumed that the requirements for the second limit break would be slightly higher.
Perhaps ten times the first limit break, as a decimal system seemed reasonable.
However, at this moment, seeing the bright plus sign behind the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique on the status, he realized his mistake.
The second limit break of the blade technique required only 20 points of Essence Energy, much lower than he had imagined.
Just 20 points.
With 20 points of Essence Energy, he could achieve the second limit break of the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
His heart filled with anticipation.
The new trait, especially for the blade technique, would undoubtedly bring him new changes and improvements.
His strength would undoubtedly increase again.
His gaze fell on the plus sign behind the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique on the status, and his will moved slightly.
The Essence Energy points on the status rapidly decreased.
As the Essence Energy points decreased, he suddenly felt his mind entering a transcendent state beyond that of ordinary mortals.
In his mind's eye, he held a blade and repeatedly slashed downward, regardless of the season or weather, always holding the blade.
With each slash, he gained new insights into the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
The speed of the blade increased, and he slashed countless times.
In this state, time seemed to have ceased to exist.
At the same time, Jiang Ning also felt a tingling sensation in his arms, as if countless ants were crawling inside, and an electric current coursing through them.
After an unknown duration, he opened his eyes.
In that instant, his eyes seemed to flash with blade light.
【Essence Energy】: 1.9
【Skill】: Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Secondary Limit Break 1967/3000) (Attribute: Analogous Understanding, Blade Like Gale)
【Blade Like Gale】: With divine assistance, the blade speed is extremely fast, far surpassing ordinary people.
"Blade Like Gale?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself. Then, he picked up the long blade by his bed, moved swiftly, and in just a few steps, he was in the courtyard.
Swish—
He drew the blade, and the cold light flashed as the long blade left its sheath.
The next moment, the courtyard was filled with dazzling blade lights, overlapping and covering a radius of three zhang around Jiang Ning. The air rippled with energy, and the fallen leaves and twigs on the ground surged outwards.
As he continued to dance with the blade, it became faster and faster, and the flashing blade light seemed to transform into a blade curtain, a blade shadow that not even a drop of water could penetrate.
After a long while, Jiang Ning sheathed his blade, and the flashing blade lights around him simultaneously dispersed.
【Waveflow Blade Technique Experience +1】
Jiang Ning's face immediately showed excitement.
"This blade is so fast! Almost fifty percent faster than before."
At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement.
A fifty percent increase in blade speed—what a concept!
If two people had the same strength, a ten percent faster blade would give a ninety percent chance of victory.
A fifty percent increase in blade speed would make a world of difference in actual combat, completely beyond the same level. It was like the gap between an adult and a child.
When facing an opponent, if the opponent's blade is just one-third slower, it could mean the difference between life and death.
With the same strength, this blade speed could easily achieve a first move advantage, unless one was careless, in which case the odds of winning would be ten out of ten.
"I wonder what my current strength is!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, "If I use the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique with a fifty percent increase in blade speed, combined with the burst of power and speed from the second limit break, should I be able to kill Xu Yunfeng without even using the Nine Levels of Power?"
"After all, my strength has been enhanced, and the gap between us has narrowed!"
With this thought, Jiang Ning, bathed in the morning light, arrived at the front courtyard of the martial academy.
He stood before a 500-jin stone lock.
His right hand grasped the hundred-refined muscle-strengthening iron in the middle of the stone lock, and his right arm exerted force.
The exposed right arm immediately revealed clear muscle contours.
These bulging muscles resembled coiled dragons, exuding power.
The next moment, the stone lock slowly lifted into the air, and Jiang Ning's body sank slightly to stabilize his stance.
"It really works!" His eyes shone with excitement, and after enduring for nearly ten breaths, he slowly lowered the stone lock.
Boom—
Even though he lowered the stone lock slowly, it still landed with a dull thud, and the soil on the ground was flung to the sides.
"Huff—"
Jiang Ning slowly exhaled the turbid breath he had accumulated in his abdomen, his face filled with excitement.
"The strength in my right arm has exceeded 500 jin. This strength is already comparable to those with Qi and Blood Perfection."
"Even those with ordinary Ninth Stage Martial Dao strength can only lift 700 to 1000 jin with a single arm. I've further narrowed the gap with them!"
Then, he shook his right arm and lowered his body, his left hand grasping the stone lock again.
"Hei—"
He took a deep breath, sinking his energy into his dantian, and exerted force with his left arm.
The stone lock lifted off the ground.
After enduring for two breaths, he lowered the stone lock, and it landed heavily.
"500 jin, and my left arm also has 500 jin of strength!"
Jiang Ning was even more excited.
With 500 jin of strength in both arms, even those with extraordinary natural strength and innate divine power couldn't match this force.
Feeling this obvious progress, Jiang Ning was highly motivated.
Then, his gaze fell on his status panel.
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Essence Energy】: 1.9
【Skills】:
Word Recognition (First Limit Break 903/2000) (Attribute: Memorize at a Glance)
Five Beasts Fist (Great Achievement 35/1000)
Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (Second Limit Break 1967/3000) (Attribute: Analogous Understanding, Blade Like Gale)
Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique (Foundation 188/1000)
Waveflow Blade Technique (Mastery 1/200)
"I only have 1.9 Essence Energy points, I need to keep accumulating."
"The Word Recognition experience is almost halfway, and at my current rate of accumulating Essence Energy points, it will only take eight more days to reach 20 points."
"During this time, I should read more books to increase my Word Recognition experience."
"At the same time, I must not neglect my fist technique and Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique."
"As for the Waveflow Blade Technique, there's no rush for now! My physique is insufficient, and I've only just entered the Martial Dao. I'll consider improving this blade technique after I've achieved Skin Refinement."
Then, his gaze fell on the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique.
"Experience 1967, only 1033 points away from the limit. During this time, I should also accumulate experience for the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique and try to earn some extra points."
"The Firewood Splitting Blade Technique is simple for me now, and the experience gain is fast!"
After making this plan, Jiang Ning continued his fist practice, awaiting the sunrise.
With Wang Jin's support and help, he could freely use precious supplements without worrying about it for a while.
