Chapter 83: Qi and Blood Mastery, Integrating the Four Limbs!

Chapter 83: Qi and Blood Mastery, Integrating the Four Limbs!

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days later.

Boom, boom, boom—

Jiang Ning stood in his own courtyard.

Each punch landed on the wooden post like a raging storm, creating a deafening sound.

At this moment.

Wang Jin, who was in the backyard of the Martial Academy, heard the resounding impact coming from Jiang Ning's direction. His eyes narrowed suddenly.

"The direction of the impact is coming from Jiang Ning's courtyard!"

"This sound is a bit odd!"

He moved swiftly, jumping out of his own backyard.

In just a few breaths, he appeared outside Jiang Ning's courtyard gate.

He glanced at the locked courtyard gate and then leaped onto the wall.

From his vantage point, he could see everything within Jiang Ning's courtyard.

At this moment, Jiang Ning, wearing a short robe, was striking the bullhide-wrapped wooden post with rapid punches, creating numerous residual shadows.

With each punch, his dragon-like arm muscles stretched, showcasing a sense of power.

The visual impact alone indicated that each punch contained immense strength.

As Jiang Ning's fists landed on the wooden post, they produced a dull, thunderous sound.

Even though the post was deeply embedded in the ground, it shook with each punch.

Hearing the sound of Jiang Ning's fists hitting the post up close.

Wang Jin's pupils constricted.

How could this young man's punching power be so swift and strong?

Such a sound!

Such a commotion!

Each punch contained a force of at least 1,500 jin and above!

This force was off!

Something was definitely amiss!

What level had his Qi and Blood Power reached now?

Could it be Qi and Blood Mastery, integrating the four limbs, or Breath Circulation Perfection, permeating the entire body?

Considering the latter possibility, Wang Jin shook his head inwardly.

This... shouldn't be possible!

After a long while.

Jiang Ning retracted his fists and stood there, feeling refreshed.

"Awesome!"

He clenched his fists, sensing the abundant Qi and Blood within him, flowing through his limbs, nurturing his physique.

In this state, even as time passed, his physique would not decline but would continue to improve.

This was the profound aspect of Qi and Blood Power.

"Finally, Qi and Blood Mastery, integrating the four limbs!" he thought with satisfaction.

Just then.

"Cough, cough—"

Two light coughs sounded behind Jiang Ning.

"Master!"

He turned around and respectfully saluted Wang Jin.

"Your punches are excellent!" Wang Jin nodded.

"Thank you for the praise, Master!" Jiang Ning replied.

Wang Jin smiled, noticing Jiang Ning's expression, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

"If you have something to say, Master, please speak frankly!" Jiang Ning said.

"Your punching force is fierce and impactful. I'm curious, how much have your Qi and Blood improved?" Wang Jin asked.

"Qi and Blood Mastery, integrating the four limbs!" Jiang Ning answered without hesitation.

"Qi and Blood Mastery?" Wang Jin's eyes narrowed, and he showed a look of astonishment. "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

"Yes! I'm sure!" Jiang Ning affirmed.

Seeing Jiang Ning's confident expression, Wang Jin's heart was no longer calm.

This young man had only been practicing his punches for so long, and he had already achieved Qi and Blood Mastery?

This was too monstrous!

He had been learning the art for less than a month, and he had already reached this level. Could it be that Shen Congyun had given him some precious elixir, causing his Qi and Blood to improve so rapidly?

It must be!

Otherwise, his talent would be too terrifying!

In all these years in Luoshui County, they had never seen such a monstrous talent.

Wang Jin forced a calm nod.

"Not bad! Keep up this progress, and you'll need to study and practice diligently! As for your current needs in martial arts, leave it to me!"

Hearing Wang Jin's words, Jiang Ning's expression changed.

He bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Master! Your kindness will be remembered by your disciple forever!"

Wang Jin waved his hand, feigning nonchalance, "It's just a small matter! As your master, it's my responsibility to take care of you!"

Then Wang Jin said, "Enough of this. Continue practicing your punches, and I'll adjust my state to practice the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique."

"Master, take care!" Jiang Ning saw Wang Jin off and then opened the courtyard gate.

Watching Wang Jin's departing figure, he felt grateful.

After that, he returned to his courtyard to continue practicing his punches.

Although he had achieved Qi and Blood Mastery and his strength had improved, it was still not enough.

It was not enough for him to roam fearlessly in Luoshui County without fearing anyone.

He needed to continue practicing his punches!

In the blink of an eye.

Three days had passed.

Jiang Ning looked at his panel, thinking to himself.

"The Experience Points have broken through the thirty-point threshold, but the Firewood Splitting Blade Technique doesn't show a break-limit prompt. It seems that the required Experience Points for the third break-limit of the technique are more than thirty points."

"Then, he looked at the Word Recognition section."

"Word Recognition is almost at the threshold for experience points too! The experience points for this skill are much harder to accumulate than for Firewood Splitting Blade Technique! I hope that after the second Limit Break, I'll get a decent trait."

Jiang Ning then decided to temporarily stop his fist practice.

He flipped through the book in his hand and quietly waited for the sun to rise.

[Word Recognition Experience +1]



[Word Recognition Experience +1]



[Word Recognition Experience +1]



[.]



As time passed, the experience points for the Word Recognition skill continued to increase.

In the blink of an eye, the sun slowly rose.

[Word Recognition Experience +1]



When this prompt appeared, Jiang Ning stopped reading.

[Reading this book has increased your Word Recognition experience by a total of 18 points.]



[Skills]: Word Recognition (1995/2000 experience points until next Limit Break) (Trait: Memorize at a Glance)



"Just 5 points short of the threshold, no need to rush it now!"

"I should prioritize absorbing the Solar Essence first!"

"After all, I only have this short window each day to increase my experience in Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique!"

Jiang Ning sat down, facing the rising sun in the east, and quietly waited for the sunrise to end.

As the sun rose, Jiang Ning immediately started absorbing the Solar Essence.

Even in this world, he noticed that the earlier the sunrise, the closer it was to winter.

Like now, in mid-August, the sunrise was around the third quarter of the Rabbit hour.

The earlier sunrise allowed him to practice the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique for a longer duration.

He could absorb the Solar Essence for over an hour, gaining more experience points.

He didn't know the exact reason for this, nor did he want to ponder over such an incomprehensible matter.

He only knew that it was a good thing, a favorable development for him.

The longer he absorbed, the faster his progress in the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique.

The sooner he broke through to the next level in the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique, the faster his strength would improve.

The Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique was a supreme art, and even more so, it was a supreme art for refining the five organs.

At this level of martial arts, every advancement in realm would bring about a qualitative change in his strength.

Especially later on, each breakthrough in the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique's realms would result in even more significant improvements.

Upon breaking through to Mastery, not only would his bodily functions greatly increase, and his stamina become enduring, but he would also be able to autonomously unleash his body's potential, displaying strength far beyond the ordinary.

Upon reaching Minor Achievement, refining the Inner Breath, nothing could withstand him, and nothing could break him.

He could even kill enemies from a distance, reaching a level where falling leaves and flying flowers could slay foes.

Upon achieving Great Achievement, refining the five organs to an extremely powerful state, a typical trait would be the ability to emit thunderous roars from the five organs.

His strength would undergo even more noticeable changes, and the refined Inner Breath would become a gale, possessing formidable destructive power.

There were records of such powerful individuals; with a single burst of Inner Breath, they could slay a thousand elite armored soldiers with a single sword, like gods or demons in the mortal realm.

With the might of that sword, the entire battlefield would instantly turn into a hellish slaughter, with blood and flesh flying, corpses littering the land, and rivers of blood flowing.

Not to mention, beyond Great Achievement, the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique had the Perfected realm.

Although Jiang Ning didn't understand the profundity of the Perfected realm, he knew that it would bring about a qualitative change, the core essence of the supreme art's grade.

Because all the transformations of this technique were completed in the final step of the Perfected realm.

Swallowing a golden core, my fate is in my hands, not the heavens.

Only then would it align with the true intent of the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique.

The increase in strength would be unparalleled.

Therefore, Jiang Ning highly valued breaking through the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique.

Although he didn't have a method to break through to the Perfected realm, with the miraculous system panel, as long as he accumulated enough experience, he could instantly reach the Perfected realm.

At this moment, this technique was not far from the next realm.

[Skills]: Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique (Foundation: 758/1000 experience points)



He glanced at the panel again.

The Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique was only 242 experience points away from the next realm.

With his current efficiency, and with the subsequent methods given by Shen Congyun, along with the Vitality Pill's assistance, he was three times more efficient than before.

Give him another week, and he would break through to the next level in this technique.

Then, looking at the rising sun, Jiang Ning calculated the time again.

"It's been about a month since Wang Jin announced the establishment of the Inspection Bureau!"

"Calculating carefully, the opening of the Inspection Bureau in Luoshui County is only about two months away!"

"I must make the most of my time!"

He sensed the Vital Energy within his body.

After so many days of diligently practicing his fist technique, his Vital Energy had improved significantly.

After achieving Great Achievement and integrating the Four Limbs, he was now even closer to Vital Energy Perfection.

He could clearly feel that Vital Energy Perfection was just a few days away.

"After achieving Vital Energy Perfection, I'll focus on Skin Refinement, and then I'll be able to enter the ranks of the Ninth Stage Martial Practitioners in the world, and in Luoshui County, I'll have the initial ability to protect myself."

"It's almost here! It's almost here!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.
