Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Great Success, qualitative change!

In the Martial Arts Hall.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes from meditation.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the image of the tiger from that afternoon.

Then, he took a stance and began to practice his boxing directly.

After fifteen minutes.

Jiang Ning pulled back his boxing stance.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (small success 52/500)

He glanced at the panel for just a moment and continued to practice boxing.

The recent verification with his boxing practice had not been without gains, but these were insufficient for a qualitative change in his Tiger Form Boxing.

However, Jiang Ning knew he had taken one more step towards achieving the union of spirit and form.

Taking advantage of his good state, he continued practicing boxing while replaying the tiger’s pounce and the majestic aura of the tiger as the King of Hundred Beasts in his mind.

Three times in a row, the Experience Value still maintained the efficiency of increasing by one point with each round of boxing.

But as he practiced the boxing over and over, his eyes shone more brightly, even radiating light as night fell.

Hoo—

Hoo—

Jiang Ning breathed heavily, his chest starting to heave.

Even though he had achieved the entry level of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill and his internal organs had been tempered, practicing four consecutive rounds of boxing without rest had caused him to feel slightly fatigued.

“I need to use the Wild Ginseng!” he thought. @@novelbin@@

Rising to his mind, Jiang Ning picked up the brocade box containing Wild Ginseng placed to one side.

Upon opening the red brocade box, a piece of Wild Ginseng, estimated to be ten years old, lay on the orange-yellow cloth.

[Source Energy]: 9.2

He glanced again at his panel, noting that he was only 0.8 points away from the target of 10 Source Energy Points.

According to the efficiency of the past few days, he would need two full days for these 0.8 points.

But now, he didn’t want to wait.

Having made up his mind, he decided not to be as stingy as before, using only one-tenth of the Wild Ginseng at a time.

After briefly pondering, he split the ginseng in half and placed one half in his mouth.

As Jiang Ning chewed in his mouth, a sweet and warm flow followed down into his stomach.

Soon, he felt his body, like parched land meeting sweet rain, rapidly regaining vitality.

The weariness disappeared swiftly, the heartbeat in his chest became more powerful, and the blood flowed faster within his body.

“Taking half at once, the effect is so strong! No wonder it’s worth more than a dozen taels of silver,” Jiang Ning exclaimed, clenching his fist to feel the changes within.

Moments later.

He felt his body temperature rise, brimming with energy that had no outlet, and his state had been restored from its previous low to its peak.

Now powered by the medicine’s effect, he resumed practice.

…

Round after round of practice, and round after round of validating his insights.

In the short recovery intervals, he repeatedly visualized the scenes of his senior brothers and sisters fighting the tiger that afternoon.

The jade rabbit hung high in the branches.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +2]

When this prompt appeared, Jiang Ning stopped practicing and smiled.

He didn’t know how many rounds of boxing he had practiced from evening until now.

But seeing the change in the prompts, he knew his hard work and lack of sleep were worth it!

“Awesome!!”

Jiang Ning grinned, showing his pearly white teeth.

The changes in the Experience Value gained from practicing boxing represented that he had mastered the spirit and form of the fierce tiger, and his Tiger Form Boxing had indeed reached Great Success.

Henceforth, as long as he consolidated his current understanding, before Five Animals Fist broke through to Great Success, he would gain at least two points of Experience Value each time he practiced the boxing technique.

Additionally, his level of Great Success in Tiger Form Boxing qualified him to become Wang Jin’s True Disciple.

True Disciple—that was a real master-disciple relationship.

Given Wang Jin’s identity and strength, this would bring him a huge increase in status.

At this moment, Jiang Ning truly felt that his situation was beginning to improve, and the gloom that had clouded his heart started to dissipate, with a smile inevitably spreading across his face.

Afterward, he picked up the already-prepared refreshing well water beside him and gulped it down in one go.

“Solidify the understanding!!”

“Continue practicing!!”

His eyes burned with fiery passion, filled with soaring fighting spirit.

While he was sweating profusely, Aunt Sun also came to the yard gate to check several times.

Each time, she couldn’t help shaking her head.

“This kid is pushing himself too hard!”

“Not even eating dinner to practice martial arts!”

“I have to keep reheating his food over and over again!”

…

The jade rabbit hung high overhead.

The moonlight draped over the earth like a gossamer veil, and Luoshui County was enveloped in tranquility.

Only the occasional bark of a dog from afar could be heard.

And—

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

“Midnight has struck, be careful with the candles!”

Hearing the familiar voice of the night watchman, Jiang Ning’s boxing movements also came to a halt just in time.

“It’s already eleven o’clock at night!” he murmured to himself, coming back to his senses.

Gurgle—

As he returned to the present, his stomach rumbled thunderously with hunger.

“I’m so hungry!!” Jiang Ning rubbed his belly, his face showing a hint of misery.

“Tsk tsk! You finally realized you’re hungry, huh!!”

“Sister Sun, you’re here too?” Jiang Ning looked in the direction of the voice and immediately saw Aunt Sun appearing at the yard gate.

“How can I not be? I’ve been reheating food for four or five ‘shichen’! I thought you were made of iron and didn’t get hungry,” Aunt Sun said, sounding annoyed.

“Thank you, Sister, I knew Sister Sun was a beauty with a kind heart!!” Jiang Ning chuckled.

“Stop your sweet talk, come with me!”

“Okay, Sister!”

Jiang Ning hurriedly followed her.

At the same time, he also opened his panel to take a look.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (small success 78/500)

Tonight, I’ve increased my Experience Value by a total of 23 points with Five Animals Fist, quite an impressive efficiency!!

Jiang Ning thought to himself, feeling extremely pleased.

Before, after a whole day of laborious practice, he could increase the Experience Value of Five Animals Fist by less than 20 points.

Tonight, in just one night, from dusk to the small hours, he had increased by 23 points of Experience Value, already exceeding the amount he could increase in a single day.

“With the support of a major tonic like Wild Ginseng, the effect of my boxing practice is indeed completely different!”

“And tonight, it’s also because more than half the times I practiced boxing, the Experience Value increased by only one point.”

“Tomorrow, every time I practice the boxing technique, I will increase two points of Experience Value, three threads of Qi-Blood, and my efficiency will inevitably be higher!”

Envisioning this, Jiang Ning was secretly excited.

“Kid, what are you thinking about?”

Aunt Sun turned around and saw Jiang Ning looking distracted.

Jiang Ning immediately came back to reality and smiled at Aunt Sun.

“Just thinking about the insights from practicing boxing just now!”

“Tsk tsk! Kid, you’re really pushing yourself too hard! Still thinking about practicing boxing with your stomach growling like that!” Aunt Sun clucked.

Jiang Ning smiled and said no more.
