Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Receiving the Inheritance, Middle-class Martial Arts! (PK for more follows!!)

Martial Arts Hall backyard.

Wang Jin put a few peanuts into his mouth before he finally looked at Jiang Ning and spoke,

“Do you remember what I once told you about why Canglang Martial Arts Hall is called Canglang Martial Arts Hall?”

“I remember!” Jiang Ning nodded his head.

Wang Jin nodded and continued, “The name of the Martial Arts Hall is related to a saber technique, a Middle-class Martial Arts saber technique! Whether one can learn this saber technique depends mostly on comprehension, which is also why I set up the test.”

“If you cannot achieve Great Success in any stance of the Five Animals Fist, then such comprehension doesn’t even qualify to learn my saber technique!”

Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Jiang Ning’s face.

“Does Master mean to teach me that saber technique?”

Wang Jin shook his head, “You are not yet qualified to learn that saber technique.”

“Not qualified?” Jiang Ning looked stunned.

Wang Jin stood up and said, “Follow me!”

Jiang Ning quickly followed him.

Entering Wang Jin’s bedroom, he took an old, somewhat yellowed ancient text from a hidden compartment in the wall and handed it to Jiang Ning.

“Just have a look for yourself!”

Jiang Ning took the yellowed ancient text and looked down.

He saw a few large characters on the blue cover.

[Canglang Blade Skill]

“Just flip through and you’ll understand!” Wang Jin’s voice echoed in Jiang Ning’s ear.

Jiang Ning slowly flipped through the ancient text of the Martial Arts Skill.

Time quietly slipped by.

Wang Jin quietly waited for Jiang Ning to finish reading.

Watching Jiang Ning reading intently, Wang Jin mumbled to himself, “I believe that after this boy finishes this Middle-class Martial Arts, his motivation to practice boxing will be even stronger!”

“Middle-class Martial Arts, across the whole Luoshui County, there are hardly a few!”

“This attraction, I don’t believe this boy wouldn’t want to have the qualification to learn this saber technique.”

“Without mastering Power, if the Qi-Blood is not strong enough, one is not qualified to learn this saber technique!”

“I also don’t know if, based on his comprehension, he can bring this saber technique to the realm of Perfection.”

“If he can achieve what I couldn’t in the future, then I can tell him the clues to the Sweeping Fire Saber Skill. If he can obtain the Sweeping Fire Saber Skill and combine it with the Canglang Blade Skill, that will be a truly perfect superior martial arts!!”

Meanwhile, as Wang Jin was deep in thought, Jiang Ning was constantly flipping through the [Canglang Blade Skill], this Middle-class Martial Arts text.

After a long while, Jiang Ning flipped to the last page of the Canglang Blade Skill.

[Skill]: Reading and Writing (Break Limit 654/2000) (Trait: Unforgettable)

He closed the ancient text that recorded the Canglang Blade Skill and then slowly closed his eyes, assimilating the memory of this saber technique in his mind.

According to the records of the saber technique ancient text, the Canglang Blade Skill is a Middle-class Martial Arts.

This saber technique is inspired by the endless torrents of mighty rivers.

To enter into the saber technique, one needs to master a Power known as Nine Layers of Strength.

The Nine Layers of Strength and the Power mastered after achieving Perfection in the Five Animals Fist are of the same nature.

This means that the effect brought about merely by entering this saber technique is equivalent to the effect that can be achieved by reaching Perfection in the Five Animals Fist.

And according to the records in the Canglang Blade Skill, the Nine Layers of Strength is an extremely powerful force.

Once the saber technique reaches Perfection, each saber strike is stronger than the last, each strike surpassing the previous, with the Nine Layers of Strength exploding forth, one strike carrying the attacking power of nine strikes.

It’s simply awe-inspiring, unmatched at the same Realm, with no one able to withstand a single strike.

After reviewing the records of the Canglang Saber Skill, Jiang Ning also understood why Wang Jin had said he wasn’t yet qualified to learn this cultivation technique.

Because the entrance to the Canglang Saber Skill was no less difficult than achieving Qi Blood Perfection in the Five Animals Fist; in fact, it was even more difficult.

Only upon achieving Qi Blood Perfection in the Five Animals Fist could one master power.

And this middle-grade martial arts of Canglang Saber Skill required mastery of the first layer of power, known as Nine Layers of Strength, just to get started.

Such was the height of its difficulty.

Moreover, according to what Jiang Ning knew,

A martial artist of the ninth grade who could master power was among the elite, and their combat power would far surpass that of other martial artists at the same level who had not mastered power.

Power was extremely profound; if one mastered power, the efficiency of skin training after achieving Qi Blood Perfection was several times higher than that of others.

This included those progressing to the eighth, seventh, and sixth ranks, all of which required power.

Without mastering power, even if one possessed the fundamental method for advancement, promotion would be difficult.

And the deeper the layer of power trained in higher-level martial arts, the more evident the effect on the advancement of martial arts grades.

A few breaths later, he finally opened his eyes and uttered softly,

“No wonder Master said I am not yet qualified to learn this technique!”

“Do you understand now?” Wang Jin spoke, “Nine Layers of Strength is a form of power more profound than that of the Wild Tiger, White Ape, or Wild Bear! If you haven’t even grasped the power like that of the Wild Tiger, haven’t personally felt the mysteries of power, unable to touch and understand it, how can you possibly make an entry into this middle-class martial arts of the Canglang Saber Skill?”

“Disciple understands!” Jiang Ning continued, “Disciple will diligently practice boxing and strive to soon master the perfected Five Animals Fist.”

Wang Jin nodded, then added, “Do you have thoughts of joining the Inspection Office?”

“Yes!” Jiang Ning declared.

“Good!” Wang Jin nodded again, “Then you better practice hard. Although joining the Inspection Office seems a slim hope for you, after all, entering the martial arts grade is a hard requirement, and there are only about two and a half months left until the Inspection Office officially opens.”

“But if your progress in the Five Animals Fist is fast enough, and you soon reach the perfected state and master the Five Beasts Force—”

“Then it’s not impossible!”

“If you achieve perfection in the Five Animals Fist, mastering the Five Beasts Force, developing a tough skin that connects throughout your body, entering the martial arts grade at that stage will be extremely efficient!”

“When that time comes, if you can reach the perfection of the Five Animals Fist, as your teacher, I will also exert my efforts to assist you, giving you a chance to change your fate!”

Jiang Ning bowed, “Thank you, Master!!”

Wang Jin waved his hand, “Go now! Focus on your practice!!”

After leaving Wang Jin’s room, Jiang Ning opened his panel.

[Skill]: Canglang Saber Skill (Not Entered 0/10)

“Just as I thought!” Seeing the Canglang Saber Skill on the panel, Jiang Ning slightly nodded, murmuring to himself, “Ten experience points, the same as required for the Five Animals Fist. It seems that whether it’s lower-level or middle-class martial arts, the experience needed for breakthroughs in realms is the same!”

“Looking at it this way, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill undoubtedly surpasses the boundaries of middle-class martial arts. I wonder if it’s superior-grade martial arts, or even higher?”

Then, he closed his eyes again, instantly reviewing the memory from just before.

Instantly, the several thousand characters recorded in the Canglang Saber Skill, along with countless patterns, vividly surfaced in his mind.

Not a single detail was forgotten or blurred.

“The trait of unforgettable, it truly offers tremendous help to me.”

“I wonder if, with the effect of the panel, I can enter this saber technique early and thus master the Nine Layers of Strength!”

As Jiang Ning walked towards his own courtyard, he sank into deep thought.

Stepping out from the backyard where Wang Jin was located, he suddenly halted.

“I don’t have a saber, how can I practice the Canglang Saber Skill?”

He looked back once more at Wang Jin’s backyard.

Should I ask for a saber?

He hesitated for just one breath.

Yes!

There’s no loss if I don’t get one!

It’s a huge gain if I do! @@novelbin@@

With that, Jiang Ning turned around and went back.
