Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 133: Chapter 56 Five Animals Fist Break Limit

He had returned from the Martial Arts Hall.

Jiang Ning had also learned about Wang Jin’s arrangement.

Three days later, he would need to make a trip to the Martial Arts Hall.

On that day, Wang Jin would announce to all corners of society, inviting prominent figures to witness the enrollment of his five direct disciples.

He was one of them.

But before that, he still needed to contend with Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng had also reached the previous requirements announced by Wang Jin.

About this matter, Jiang Ning did not take it to heart.

It seemed normal to him that Xiao Peng wanted to challenge him.

Everyone knew that joining the Inspection Office was an opportunity, a chance to change one’s fate.

Since Xiao Peng had met the conditions previously set by Wang Jin, he would definitely come to compete with him.

No matter how big or small the opportunity was, anyone would compete for it; it was normal.

When the time came, he would simply need to defeat Xiao Peng.

To Jiang Ning now, this matter seemed nothing more than a minor episode.

Compared to this, there was another matter that Jiang Ning was more concerned about.

That was, according to what Wang Jin said, a major figure from Guangning Prefecture would arrive in Luoshui County tomorrow.

This was truly a significant figure, the future Residence Master of the Luoshui County Inspection Office.

This person would hold real power, controlling life and death.

From high-ranking officials to ordinary citizens, all could exercise the right to act first and report later in urgent circumstances.

He had previously heard about this from Manager Han.

The arrival of this event was undoubtedly like a massive bomb dropping into the water for the whole Luoshui County.

“That one is the real ‘dragon crossing the river’,” Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Then he quietly added, “However, this matter doesn’t concern me. What really needs to be worried about are those local bigwigs and powerful figures.”

“As for me right now, the key is to focus on enhancing my strength.”

“There are just over ten days until the opening of the Inspection Office; I must try to advance my strength further during this period!”

While thinking about these things in his mind, Jiang Ning also walked through the corridor and pushed open the gate to the east courtyard.

…

A moment later.

East courtyard.

Jiang Ning stood in place, his eyelids slightly closed.

The lake breeze rose from the Luoshui River, blowing over Chaotic Beach, caressing his face, his long black hair dancing in the wind.

Since arriving in this world, Jiang Ning naturally conformed to the local customs, not cutting off the long hair of his original body.

He usually just tied it up casually, and now, under the lake wind, it looked somewhat disheveled.

While circulating his spiritual power for internal view, Jiang Ning also saw the Bull Demon Strength Fruit in his belly that had not yet been fully digested.

“This Bull Demon Strength Fruit still has about thirty percent remaining,” he opened his eyes and silently said to himself.

Then, he continued to mutter, “According to what Manager Han said, one Bull Demon Strength Fruit can temper muscle strength and increase my strength by a hundred pounds.”

“Digesting three of them will increase my strength by three hundred pounds.”

“Today, I will fully move and refine the remaining Bull Demon Strength Fruit. If successful, my Source Energy Points will surely surge tomorrow.”

After making his decision.

The next moment.

Jiang Ning found a clean rock and sat cross-legged.

Then, he circulated his own power, mobilizing his Qi-Blood within.

Instantly.

The Qi Blood Power in his body began to boil, and his body’s temperature also climbed progressively.

Under the dual catalytic forces, Jiang Ning immediately felt his digestive capacity in his abdomen surge.

The remnants of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit in his stomach were rapidly digested by his stomach, releasing immense Medicinal Power.

This Medicinal Power merged into his limbs and bones, flowing into all 639 muscles throughout his body.

The muscles constantly tensed under the influence of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit, sending waves of pain.

At the same time, his power also circulated through the muscles.

…

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

Then he got up from the rock.

He clenched his fists, and his arm muscles immediately released a powerful force.

“Manager Han was right! My strength has increased by nearly ten percent compared to yesterday.”

“The increase is a bit more than a hundred pounds; those 800 taels of silver were well spent!”

Jiang Ning felt the changes within his body, his face showing slight joy.

Before, the effect of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit had seemed somewhat miraculous, though coming from Manager Han of Wanhua Building, Jiang Ning had some doubts in his heart.

Now, having personally verified the effects of this kind of Spirit Fruit, he had no doubts left.

“I still have two Bull Demon Strength Fruits. By refining these two, my strength can increase by a total of three hundred pounds.”

“That is to say, those 2,400 taels of silver can increase my strength by nearly thirty percent in just one day.”

“Is this the role of wealth?”

The last sentence, Jiang Ning asked himself.

At this moment.

He experienced more clearly the significance of wealth.

“Wealth’s aid to Martial Arts is also too significant!” he couldn’t help sighing, then continued murmuring, “It’s understandable that those top-tier sects, those powerful family successors never lack resource provisions, their progress in Martial Arts can be incredibly fast.”

“No wonder, even though my Martial Arts progress has been so rapid before, neither Wang Jin nor Lin Qingyi, Master Lin, showed too much astonishment.”

“It must be that there are people in this world whose progress in Martial Arts is much faster than mine.”

After reflecting briefly, Jiang Ning revived his spirit without any self-deprecation.

He knew what his real advantage was.

It was the miraculous panel in front of him.

[Name]: Jiang Ning

[Source Energy]: 37.8

[Skill]:

Reading and Writing (Second Limit Breaking 1133/3000) (Trait: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)

Five Animals Fist (Perfection 1000/1000)

Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Fourth Limit Breaking 5000/5000) (Trait: Touch and Understand, Blade like Swift Wind, God-Like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One)

Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Master 1243/2000)

Canglang Blade Skill (Great Success 48/1000)

Vajra Immortal Body (Master 266/2000)

Swimming (First Limit Breaking 187/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)

He glanced at his own panel.

“I hope that after digesting these three Bull Demon Strength Fruits today, my Source Energy Points can break through a hundred tomorrow.”

Jiang Ning silently said.

Then he took out a Bull Demon Strength Fruit wrapped in a thin membrane from his body.

Golden Body Water pouch, he asked Jiang Li to set it up properly inside the house.

But the Bull Demon Strength Fruit, he always kept on him.

After all, this kind of spirit fruit was not big, each only the size of a chicken egg, and very easy to carry.

The next moment.

He tore off the thin film on top of the spirit fruit.

Then, he threw the Bull Demon Strength Fruit directly into his mouth.

With a move of his jaw, the juice burst inside his mouth.

As he chewed, his throat moved repeatedly, and the remnants of the fruit fell into his stomach.

Then, he began to mobilize his Qi-Blood and operate his power, aiding the digestion and absorption of the Bull Demon Strength Fruit.

…

The moon was hazy.

Tonight, the night sky was scattered with some clouds, stars hidden, the bright moon also visible intermittently.

“It’s done!”

Jiang Ning’s expression brightened, and he opened his eyes.

He then stood up and squeezed his right fist, immediately feeling the surging power contained within his right arm.

Following his earlier breakthrough in Reading and Writing, the enhancement of his spiritual power, and the effects of his Extraordinary Five Senses trait,

Jiang Ning had reached an extremely high state of control over his own body, capable of perceiving even minor changes.

Therefore, at this moment, he was very clear about how the resilience and strength of his muscles contributed to the enhancement of his power.

His strength had increased by about thirty percent.

In terms of the 300-pound strength mentioned by Han Hongmei, in his perception of his body, it was more rather than less.

The next moment.

Boom—

He raised his hand and struck the air in front of him.

A force of 1,600 pounds, after being exerted, suddenly released a terrifying explosive power, instantly producing a clear sound in the air.

“Feels awesome!”

Feeling his current strength, Jiang Ning was extremely exhilarated.

Within one day, his strength had surged by thirty percent.

This explosive increase provided him with great stimulation.

“With this strength, even those who just entered the Eighth Grade of Martial Arts wouldn’t be much better than this!” Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Then.

Capitalizing on it still not being too late, and having little sleepiness,

he began practicing boxing in the courtyard.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[…]

…

The next day.

As his biological clock rang, Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

He sat up and rubbed his cheeks.

The remaining sleepiness evaporated instantly.

After becoming fully awake, he immediately opened his panel to check.

[Source Energy]: 110.5

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning’s gaze sharpened.

“Yesterday, I clearly remember the Source Energy Points were at 37.8, today it has reached 110.5.”

“An increase of 72.7 Source Energy Points in one day, could the energy points brought by the Bull Demon Strength Fruit actually surpass that of the fifty-year-old Blood Lotus?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

Yesterday, he had been worried that even if he absorbed three spirit fruits named Bull Demon Strength Fruit, his Source Energy Points might not break a hundred today.

Now, he realized he had underestimated the energy contained in these spirit fruits.

They were even better than the Blood Lotus.

One Bull Demon Strength Fruit had increased his Source Energy Points by about 23 to 24 points.

The next moment.

His gaze moved downward.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist +(Perfection 1000/1000)

“Indeed, a plus sign appeared, this martial art can also break the limit.”

Jiang Ning’s expression brightened.

He slowly exhaled a breath of impure energy, calming his somewhat excited heart.

The Five Animals Fist was the first cultivation technique he mastered, and it had met the requirements to Break Limit.

Intuition told him, the nature of this skill’s Break Limit would undoubtedly be different from before.

A few moments later.

He willed, and his Source Energy Points suddenly plummeted, the numbers rapidly decreasing.

[Source Energy]: 10.5

Until the numbers reached this point did the change in Source Energy Points stop.

In an instant.

Jiang Ning involuntarily closed his eyes, entering a mysterious state.

He saw between heaven and earth.

Five colors were slowly converging towards his chest.

They were red, black, white, yellow, and green.

These five colors were distributed in various corners of heaven and earth, either sparse or dense.

At this moment.

While with closed eyes, in a pitch-black state of vision, he saw himself as if placed in the endless dark universe.

Not knowing up from down, south from north.

But all around, the speckles of five-colored lights were converging towards him.

Red lights entered his body, making him feel slightly warm.

Black lights entered his body, making him feel slightly cool.

White lights entered his body, making him feel slightly sharp.

Yellow lights entered his body, making him feel slightly dense.

Green lights entered his body, bringing him a slight sense of vitality.

Is this… Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth?

Sensing this scene, Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

At this moment, although his mind was filled with countless doubts, he did not dare to be distracted.

His instinct told him that where he was now was his fortune.

It would certainly bring great benefits for his future.
