Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 592 Quality Improvement, Life Source Increase!
When the four suns rise, the temperature becomes even hotter.

Jiang Ning looked at the golden light that appeared in his hand, and then closed his eyes to look inward.

One could see that the blood and energy, as well as the spiritual senses, were continuously flowing into the golden inner core. Then, strands of golden energy spewed out from the inner core, gradually turning into clouds and mist that lingered in the dantian.

"A product of the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit!"

Looking at the product in his dantian, Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

His intuition told him that this energy was of extremely high quality.

"I need to find an opportunity to try!" The thought flashed through his mind.

After observing for a while longer, and seeing that there were no other changes in his dantian, only the accumulation of golden mist, he reopened his eyes.

[Source Energy]: 11374
His gaze swept across the panel, and after some processing, he had about 10,000 energy points left. This made him sigh at how excessive his current consumption was.

More than 60,000 energy points would have been an astronomical figure for him a few months ago.

Now, simply by breaking through the Inner Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique, the points have directly increased to over ten thousand.

Moreover, if the Neidan Health Cultivation Technique wants to achieve another breakthrough, the consumption will surge again, reaching a demand of 100,000 points.

Thinking of this, he secretly gasped.

One hundred thousand energy points, if extracted from ordinary medicinal herbs, would be enough to make him vomit.

It's even more uncertain how long it will take.

He shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Then, he looked at the panel again, focusing on the "Skills" section.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Cultivation Technique (Breaking Limits Three Times 2871/40000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (↑Dark Purple) Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple))

【Long-lived species】: Born extraordinary, with abundant life force, vigorous vitality, and long lifespan.

Upon seeing the changes on the panel, Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed.

"The immortal species has been upgraded!"

"Abundant life force!"

Looking at the description of the characteristics of the immortal species, he murmured to himself, seemingly lost in thought.

A moment later, he shook his head again.

Although I had my suspicions, I couldn't prove them.

But he also knew that, in short, his lifespan was far beyond what ordinary people could achieve, and it was not simply a matter of improving one's martial arts realm to extend one's lifespan.

In his speculation, this might be due to the fundamental difference in lifespan among species.

Just like a mayfly, it only lives for a day.

Cats and dogs, on the other hand, live for more than ten years.

Humans, on the other hand, have a lifespan of nearly a hundred years.

Tortoises can easily live to be over a hundred years old.

He felt that the key to the difference in lifespan might be related to the source of one's destiny.

Those rare and precious natural treasures that prolong life may be the ones that can replenish this crucial and mysterious substance.

After thinking for a long time, he closed the panel.

In any case, he knew this was ultimately a good thing.

His lifespan has been extended once again, and his future holds limitless possibilities.

Now he even sees the possibility of achieving near-immortality simply by upgrading his attributes.

Just thinking about it made him feel a little happy.

Even the most gifted cannot live forever; one will eventually turn into a handful of dust.

Just like the only Martial Saint in the world today.

It suppressed the world for eight hundred years, keeping the blessed lands hidden from the world.

Make all sects in the world bow down.

It also brought peace to the world for more than eight hundred years.

But now that the Martial Saint's lifespan is nearing its end, rumors are spreading throughout the land.

Various forces have been testing the waters, appearing eager to make their move.

Based on his understanding alone, he knew that the years of drought and last winter's snow disaster were man-made disasters, not natural ones.

They also witnessed the existence of two grotto-heavens.

Qingyuan Cave Heaven in Dongling County and Qingyang Cave Heaven to which Qingyang Sect belongs.

All of this is because the Martial Saint's lifespan is approaching, and various forces are becoming active and constantly testing each other.

This is undoubtedly a tragic song of a king's fall and a pack of wolves surrounding him.

If that Martial Saint had a strong life force and a lifespan of another hundred years, how could the situation in the world have come to this?

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning closed his eyes again.

next moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

"There are about six or seven people left, all in that direction!" He looked in surprise toward the direction where the river had been.

Everyone on the island, except him, was in that direction.

"It seems I'm not the only one with this idea; they have it too!" Jiang Ning realized, and the thought flashed through his mind.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly set off.

Everyone had already arrived, so there was no reason for him not to go.

Beside the Yanghe River.

On a hilltop.

A hint of joy flashed in Xie Yang's eyes as he watched the two people emerge from the woods.

"Indeed, the strong are all confident and proud!"

He sensed the sword bases on all four sides and the grand array set up using spirit crystals, and felt completely at ease.

After walking from a mine to the Spirit Crystal yesterday, he came up with this plan today.

He laid the foundation stones of the grand formation in advance, so that when needed, he only needed to think about it and the grand formation would immediately rise.

The same formation will have drastically different effects depending on whether it has spirit crystals as an auxiliary material or not.

With the assistance of spirit crystals this time, the power of the Four Spirits Formation will be incomparable to what it used to be.

When he encountered Jiang Ning again, within the great formation, he was confident of victory.

Therefore, he came up with this plan today.

The foundation stones of the Four Spirits Formation were laid in advance, and the sword's cry erupted, attracting powerful figures from all directions to gather.

He knew that those who had entered Shangyang Cave Heaven and survived to this day must be true powerhouses.

Strong people are all confident and proud.

Faced with such an invitation, any strong person with ambition would come to accept.

When the time comes, he only needs to wait for everyone to arrive before activating the Four Spirits Formation to eliminate all the powerful individuals who have come to the appointment.

In this way, he could become the sole victor of this trial within three days and nights.

He wasn't afraid even if one of the trial participants didn't show up.

This behavior indicates that the other party's strength is not to be feared.

He still has time; he just needs to find his opponent within the allotted time using his intuition and eliminate them.

the other side.

Beside the Yanghe River.

"Two more people have arrived!" Zhong Yue sized up Long Xiaofeng and Long Xingyun, who emerged from the mountains and forests.

“It’s the two of them!” Ye Zhengqi’s gaze sharpened slightly.

"This Long Xiaofeng seems to be quite strong!" Zhong Yue said.

"To be able to appear here, having eliminated countless opponents, how could his strength be lacking!" Ye Zhengqi said, then continued, "Long Xiaofeng's strength should be no less than yours or mine!"

"It seems it will be very difficult for the two of us to win!" Zhong Yue said, his gaze returning to Xie Yang on the hilltop.

Hear the words.

Ye Zhengqi also looked at Xie Yang.

At this moment, a long sword emitting a blue light was trembling continuously a dozen feet above Xie Yang's head.

The sound of swords clashing echoed in all directions, stirring up the winds and clouds.

“A true disciple of the Qingyang Sect. This person dares to lead us here so openly, his strength must be extremely high!” Zhong Yue said.

"It's definitely not bad!" Ye Zhengqi nodded in agreement.

at the same time.

The dragon roared as it emerged from the forest, sweeping across all directions.

I saw Xie Yang on the hilltop, Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue by the Yang River, and also a burly man as tall as an iron tower and a man carrying a knife.

"Five people, just enough for me to have a good fight!" Long Xiaofeng's face showed excitement.

"Third Brother, what are you planning to do?" Long Xingyun asked after observing the surroundings. "Of course, I'll end this boring trial!" Long Xiaofeng replied.

The words fell.

Long Xiaofeng took a step forward.

Roar!
A surge of qi and blood erupted from his body, rising like smoke and clouds, transforming into a ferocious dragon head above his head.

At that moment, the attention of the other five people was instantly drawn to Long Xiaofeng.

"Who wants to go first, or all at once?" Long Xiaofeng's voice rang out, echoing in all directions.

"So arrogant?" Xie Yang looked at Long Xiaofeng's actions with a strange look in his eyes, and couldn't help but think of Jiang Ning.

He had personally experienced Jiangning's strength.

In his view, if he wanted to become the sole victor, his biggest rival was Jiang Ning.

At that time, Jiang Ning defeated his two junior brothers and one junior sister single-handedly. Even with his participation, they still did not achieve any results.

If he hadn't found the spirit crystal yesterday, which allowed him to set up the complete Four Spirits Grand Array, he would have been prepared to settle for second best.

Now, with the help of the spirit crystals, he can set up the complete Four Spirits Grand Array, which gives him confidence.

"Could it be another expert comparable to Jiang Ning?" Xie Yang wondered.

at this time.

Roar!
Suddenly, a burst of energy and blood erupted from the body of this towering man.

Bang! !
He clenched his fists and clasped them together in front of his chest, producing a dull metallic clang.

“Long Xiaofeng, I’ve heard of you! I’ve heard that the Dragon Head has the blood of the Dragon Clan flowing through his veins and has a powerful physique. I imagine your physique is not bad either. I’d like to see it for myself.”

"Who are you?" Long Xiaofeng asked.

"Thunderbolt Sect, Thunderfire!!" The towering man announced his name.

"As you wish!" Long Xiaofeng said.

The words fell.

The two leaped up like tigers leaping over a mountain stream, as if there were no gravity beneath their feet, and each leap covered more than ten feet.

Only one breath had passed.

boom--

Both players opted for a head-on confrontation, the most direct approach.

When the two fists collided, the air was blasted apart like ripples on water, creating a visible shockwave.

Upon impact, Lei Huo's expression changed drastically.

He felt as if a dragon was hidden inside Long Xiaofeng's body, a ferocious and roaring dragon.

With a single blow, he was sent flying backward at an even greater speed.

"Too weak!!" Long Xiaofeng's voice rang out. His figure paused in mid-air, as if he were using the void to gain strength. In an instant, his figure completed an extreme change from stillness to motion in mid-air.

Compared to when it pounced, it is now 30% faster.

With a swift movement, he caught up with Lei Huo, who was flying backward.

In Lei Huo's dilated pupils, Long Xiaofeng's right fist seemed like a giant hammer slamming down on him.

Lei Huo immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest to block.

boom! !

There was another loud noise.

He changed direction in mid-air and fell to the ground like a cannonball.

Boom! !
Its tower-like body landed heavily on the ground, causing waves to surge and dust to fly everywhere.

See this scene.

Xie Yang, Ye Zhengqi, and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"Is he born with superhuman strength, or has this person already entered the ranks of top grandmasters?" A thought flashed through Xie Yang's mind.

He then thought of Jiangning.

When Jiang Ning made his move, he swiftly and decisively eliminated his junior brothers and sisters.

Now, Long Xiaofeng has taken action and has crushed his opponent.

now.

The same thought flashed through the minds of Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue.

the other side.

The man carrying the knife slowly gripped the hilt with his right hand.

Looking at Long Xiaofeng, his expression turned solemn.

Although he had never fought against Lei Huo.

However, he was certain that Lei Huo was not much weaker than him.

Because he could feel a sense of oppression from Lei Huo.

Only when the forces are evenly matched can there be a sense of oppression.

The fact that Lei Huo possessed this sense of oppression indicated that his strength was roughly equal to Lei Huo's.

"Could he be a top-tier grandmaster?" The thought flashed through his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of lightning seemed to flash in them.

Compared to the vague judgments of these people, Lei Huo was greatly shocked.

A top-tier grandmaster!!
He made this judgment without the slightest hesitation.

Then he felt a strong, large hand land on his neck.

Compared to that large hand, he felt that his neck seemed unusually vulnerable.

It seemed that if that big hand exerted just a little force, it would snap his neck.

He had no doubt about the authenticity of this feeling.

Because he had witnessed Long Xiaofeng's terrifying physical body.

Its strength was on a completely different level from the aspects he was proud of.

"You lost!" Long Xiaofeng's voice rang clearly in Lei Huo's ears amidst the smoke and dust.

"I lost!" Lei Huo admitted frankly.

next moment.

Lei Huo felt his neck suddenly pull back and then land heavily on his chest.

After making this attack, Long Xiaofeng slowly walked out of the area shrouded in smoke and dust.

"Who's next?" His voice rang out clearly in their ears, neither hurried nor slow.

Compared to what he said before, this sentence completely changed the attitude of the remaining four people.

Long Xiaofeng's actions proved his terrifying strength.

Even someone as strong as Lei Huo, who survived to the third day, was eliminated by Long Xiaofeng in just one exchange.

This led them to directly raise their assessment of Long Xiaofeng's strength by one level.

“If no one dares to come, then let’s all come together!” Long Xiaofeng said calmly.

“I’ll see what you’ve got!” Zhong Yue said, stepping forward.

“Envoy Zhong, you’re no good!” Long Xiaofeng glanced at Zhong Yue, then swept his gaze over the crowd: “You all come at me together!”

"As you wish!" Xie Yang suddenly spoke.

next moment.

hum! !

The sword's cry resounded in all directions, then transformed into a streak of azure light and headed towards the dragon's roar and the sandstorm.

"You've come at the perfect time!" Long Xiaofeng smiled calmly.

As he raised his hand, golden dragon scales appeared on his arm, spreading down his arm to his palm.

Zheng——

The longsword struck Long Xiaofeng's arm, but it seemed to hit an impenetrable wall, and the flying sword was immediately deflected.

"A swordsmanship technique that's all show and no substance!" Long Xiaofeng commented.

At the same time, even after witnessing this scene, the man with the knife on his back did not back down at all, but instead drew his knife and slashed.

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, slashing fiercely towards Long Xiaofeng.

Faced with this strike, Long Xiaofeng simply raised his hand.

clang--

The blade struck Long Xiaofeng's arm, which was covered in golden dragon scales, and instantly disintegrated like a crystal.

Seeing that the first attempt was ineffective, the man with the knife on his back seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately slashed out with his knife again.

Long Xiao raised his hand to block again, but the blade shattered upon striking his dragon scales.

Then, one strike followed another, each strike faster and heavier than the last.

Long Xiaofeng continued to parry calmly, and even managed to knock away the flying sword controlled by Xie Yang.

In the short span of a few breaths, the three exchanged blows several times.
