Chapter 84: New Ability, Astonishing Results!
Chapter 84: New Ability, Astonishing Results!
At the Yangwu Martial Academy.
Jiang Ning sat in the courtyard, quietly waiting for the sunrise. His mind, however, was already wandering far away.
According to his understanding, the martial artists in Luo Shui County were not particularly strong.
The Ninth Stage Martial Dao practitioners were considered skilled, and they formed the backbone of the county.
The Inspector-in-Chief of the County Hall, along with the Hall Masters of the three major gangs, were all Ninth Stage Martial Dao experts.
With such strength, they could live comfortably no matter which faction they joined.
They were truly above the common people.
They had the ability to transcend social classes and rise above ordinary individuals.
If they joined the government, it would be easy to obtain an official position.
Just like the Inspectors-in-Chief, they held official titles, genuine Ninth Rank officials.
Although these were minor positions, they were still considered class-transcending and fate-defying achievements for ordinary people.
As for the Eighth Stage Martial Dao practitioners, they were prominent figures in Luo Shui County, each controlling important resources within the county.
The leaders of the three major gangs in Luo Shui County were well-known for their strength, being at the Eighth Stage Martial Dao with well-developed power. Their bodies possessed strength exceeding a thousand jin.
At the Eighth Stage Martial Dao, as far as Jiang Ning knew, practitioners circulated their Essence Force to temper their muscles, increasing their density and quantity, thereby significantly enhancing their strength.
The top experts at this stage could easily unleash over two thousand jin of force with a single arm swing. If they were innately gifted, they could even burst forth with over three thousand jin of force.
The increase in strength at this stage was very noticeable, and even in the subsequent stages, no other stage could match the power enhancement of this one, unless one reached the Inner Fortification stage.
Hence, the Eighth Stage Martial Dao was also known as the Divine Strength Stage.
The top experts at this stage were considered the overbearing figures of Luo Shui County.
Even the local tyrants, like the Three Major Clans, treated these individuals with respect.
Moving up from the Eighth Stage were the Seventh Stage Martial Dao practitioners, such as Wang Jin, Cao Rong, and others.
Additionally, the County Magistrate who oversaw all the Inspectors, the Chief of the East Gate, the Commander of the Garrison outside the city, and the pillars of the Three Major Families were all at the Seventh Stage Martial Dao.
As for the even higher Sixth Stage Martial Dao, there was seemingly no one at this level in the entire Luo Shui County.
Jiang Ning was well aware of this.
As long as he reached the Ninth Stage Martial Dao, with his various abilities, he would truly possess the strength to protect himself, even among all the skilled warriors in Luo Shui County.
Moreover, he would also meet the qualifications to join the Patrol Bureau.
Joining the Patrol Bureau would bring about a real change in his life.
Without absolute invincibility, the importance of authority was undeniable.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning felt a surge of motivation.
The next moment, the sun rose high in the sky.
Jiang Ning immediately entered a serene state, facing the sun and practicing the breathing technique of inhalation and exhalation.
As he breathed, strands of invisible Great Sun Essence Qi continuously flowed into his five viscera and six bowels through his nose.
With the tempering of the Great Sun Essence Qi, he could distinctly feel his internal organs' functions and strength gradually improving.
[Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique Experience: +1]
[Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique Experience: +1]
[Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique Experience: +1]
Time passed slowly, and the experience points for his Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique on his panel continued to rise.
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.
The third hour of the morning approached.
Jiang Ning stopped his breathing technique.
As he opened his eyes, a notification appeared:
[This session of absorbing the Great Sun Essence Qi has increased your Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique experience by a total of 44 points.]
[Skills]: Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique (Beginner: 1002/1000)
"44 points, one more than yesterday," Jiang Ning thought.
"As expected, the earlier the sunrise, the longer I can absorb the Great Sun Essence Qi, and the more experience I gain."
"With today's efficiency, in just five more days, my Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique will break through."
"I just hope it doesn't suddenly rain in the coming days!"
As this thought crossed Jiang Ning's mind, he shook his head, feeling a twinge of guilt.
Forget it!
Let it rain heavily!
It hadn't rained in the entire Luo Shui County for three months; even the heavens seemed to be against the people's livelihood!
Fortunately, being close to Luo Shui County meant they could still irrigate their fields with water.
Other places must be facing much more difficulty than Luo Shui County.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning sighed inwardly.
In recent days, when he occasionally returned to visit his brother's family, he noticed an increase in beggars as he passed through the outer city.
From their behavior and clothing, it was evident that these beggars were once ordinary commoners.
They begged with shame and embarrassment, some even kneeling with their children.
Amidst this situation, Jiang Ning had also encountered several worship ceremonies of the Worship Deity Sect.
They were praying to the heavens for rain! As a result, the number of members in the Worship Deity Sect was growing daily.
"Natural disasters and calamities, signs of a nation's downfall!"
"In such an environment, I must grow stronger quickly."
Jiang Ning shook his head.
He then composed himself, picking up the book he had just put aside.
[Skills]: Book Knowledge Mastery (One-Time Limit Break: 1995/2000) (Characteristic: Photographic Memory)
"Just five more experience points! Let's accumulate these points in one go!"
With this thought, he began to read the book.
[Book Knowledge Mastery Experience: +1]
[Book Knowledge Mastery Experience: +1]
[Book Knowledge Mastery Experience: +1]
Experience points slowly accumulated, inching closer to the 2000-point mark.
After a while, another notification appeared:
[This reading session has increased your Book Knowledge Mastery experience by a total of 5 points.]
【Technique】: Book Knowledge Mastery ( Limit 2000, Characteristic: Photographic Memory and Extraordinary Senses)
【Extraordinary Senses】:: No Feather Addition, No Fly Landing.
Realizing this, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Wasn't this something I read in The Theory of Tai Chi that Master Tai Chi to its highest level makes the body extremely sensitive? Even a feather would feel heavy, and a fly landing on the body would be instantly sensed and countered."
" This statement means that when one’s body reaches the peak of Tai Chi,essence, the five senses—sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste—become extraordinarily acute."
"" he opened his eyes, a change so profound in his vision that he could now see an ant searching for food on the wall corner and a green insect munching on a leaf.
"This kind of vision! How exaggerated!!" Jiang Ning marveled internally. The effect was as if a 500-degree myopic person had suddenly put on a pair of glasses.
After a moment, he closed his eyes again and focused on his hearing.. Listening. The sounds of passwalk and the Martial Academy reached his ears. the street, people walking, the buzzing of wings sounds and the sounds of bees passing by the direction the flur of the Martial Academy. a bee. the buzzing of bees, the distant sound of a tree breaking off as ground the direction from which they originated.
Next, he took a slight sniff. the earth, grass, and his own sweat were all distinctly smelled.
“Cough——”
he couldn’t help but open his eyes and coughed a few times and lowered his head and muttered, “I'll have to take a bath later!””
Following this, he looked greatly pleased. “No Feather Addition, No Fly Landing.” This is just a statement about my sense of touch. At this moment, his arm muscles trembled slightly and the moment a mosquito landed on his arm, it was instantly flicked away.
Extraordinary Senses!
“Good Characteristic!”
“Valued!!” (End of Chapter)
