Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 627 Successive Breakthroughs, Purple Sword Seed!
As night deepened, mist slowly rose from the mountains and forests.

The stars in the sky are bright, and the Big Dipper is faintly twinkling, radiating a glow.

Below in the mountains and forests.

Sword light surged like a tide, and wisps of sword energy filled the mountains and forests, gradually intensifying the chilling atmosphere.

【.】

Jiang Ning practiced the sword technique several times in a row, and the more he practiced, the more exhilarated he felt.

Previously, when practicing the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword, I only gained one or two experience points each time I practiced the sword technique, but now it has directly increased to more than twenty points.

Efficiency has increased nearly twentyfold compared to before.

This undoubtedly proves that his previous idea was absolutely correct.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

The Taixu Yin Yang Sword is of an extremely high grade, requiring an exceptionally high level of swordsmanship talent.

With his previous talent in swordsmanship, he could only rely on persistent effort to gain experience points.

That kind of efficiency is too low, and it's not the right choice for him.

This is the right choice.

First, develop your kendo talent and accumulate kendo experience points.

Therefore, practicing the Taixu Yin Yang Sword is the best method.

After a while.

He sheathed his sword and stood there.

The sword light dissipated, and the surrounding area had become completely barren.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword (5 times breaking the limit 158/6000) (Traits: Sword Heart Clarity (Dark Blue), Demon Extermination (Dark Green), Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune (Light Blue), Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple))
"The efficiency is indeed high!" Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction after scanning the panel.

After repeated verification, he became even more convinced of his previous idea.

Subsequently.

After calming himself down slightly, he continued practicing his swordsmanship.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +101]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +105]

【.】

The increased efficiency in gaining experience points instead of decreasing filled Jiang Ning with motivation, and he became engrossed in the thrill of ever-growing progress.

noon the next day.

"break--"

Jiang Ning shouted loudly.

With a slash of his longsword, the waves that had gathered around him suddenly erupted like a long river.

boom--

The mountains and forests trembled, followed by a violent earthquake.

When the disturbance subsided, a landslide was seen in front of them, with rubble rolling down and piling up.

"A sword that splits mountains in two, truly worthy of being a superior sword technique that has broken limits multiple times!" Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

"What a pity!" He shook his head again. "It's a pity there wasn't a suitable opponent!"

He felt a pang of regret and glanced at the panel.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword + (5 times breaking the limit 6000/6000) (Characteristics: Balance of Strength and Softness (light green) Defense (light blue) Graceful as a Swan (light green) Sword Type (light purple))

From late last night until noon today, with the efficiency of gaining experience points greatly improved, the experience points required for the Two Elements Sword Breakthrough have once again been fully accumulated.

"It's time to break through!"

"I wonder if this breakthrough will further enhance my talents and allow me to successfully rise to the top."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

In his view, this is a good approach.

His breakthrough in the Yin-Yang Sword technique allowed him to gain related swordsmanship talent.

Furthermore, the growth of his swordsmanship talent can, in turn, increase the efficiency of his insights gained from sword practice and the acquisition of experience points.

After repeated practice, he went back to practicing the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword, gaining more experience points more efficiently, and possibly gaining further growth in his swordsmanship talent.

Repeatedly adding to it is tantamount to stepping on one's own foot to ascend to heaven.

As the thought arose in his mind, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

If this continues, he will not only be able to easily master the Taixu Yin Yang Sword in the future.

This could allow his swordsmanship talent to reach a level that is unmatched by the world.

Subsequently.

The demon-subduing sword intent erupted within him, severing the chaotic thoughts and instantly restoring his mind to clarity.

His gaze fell on the panel again.

【Source Energy】:11327
"That's enough for my breakthrough this time!"

Looking at the Energy Points column, he muttered to himself.

Then, a thought occurred to him.

【Source Energy】:61327 (11327→61327)

In just a split second, the energy points decreased by exactly five thousand.

Reaching this number of times to break the limit, even for a superior sword technique, is quite an exaggerated consumption.

Just now.

The air currents in the mountains and forests began to converge towards the area where Jiangning was located.

In just a few breaths, the converging airflow forms a ring.

A ring of Yin and Yang symbol.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the ring is very obvious.

at this time.

Jiang Ning also had a sudden realization.

He understood the essence of the Two Elements Sword of Hardness and Softness.

The sword intent derived from this superior sword technique is the shifting of stars and the turning of the constellations.

He suddenly realized that the eighth blood transfusion was just around the corner.

After a long time.

In the vast and desolate mountains and forests.

Countless air currents converged, causing blades of grass to flutter and transform into alternating, flowing rings.

At that moment, Jiang Ning was standing in the circle.

The air currents around him moved.

As time goes by, this ring becomes clearer and clearer.

A sudden gust of wind arose in the mountains and forests.

The surging airflow transformed into a Tai Chi circle, covering an area of ​​a full hundred feet.

A long time passed.

The sun, past its zenith, began to set in the west.

suddenly.

The surging air currents within a hundred feet suddenly stopped completely, and then gradually returned to calm.

In the forest, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

"The stars have shifted?!" he murmured.

He then raised his hand and gripped the longsword.

In an instant, sword intent erupted, enveloping his entire body.

He immediately felt countless dust particles being deflected by an invisible force the instant they approached within three feet of him.

"This is the true meaning of swordsmanship that I have come to understand from the Yin-Yang Sword of Softness and Hardness!" Jiang Ning murmured, feeling the changes around him.

next moment.

His longsword trembled.

hum!
An invisible force expands into a circle, and the moment any tangible or intangible being touches this circle, it deflects.

"Your sword intent has not yet reached the level of transcending heaven and earth!"

After a few breaths.

He stopped unleashing his sword intent, the longsword in his hand ceased to vibrate, returned to calm, and his surroundings became completely silent.

【Skill】：Two Elements Sword of Strength and Softness (Six times breaking the limit 45/7000) (Characteristics: Balance of Strength and Softness (light green) Defense (light blue) Graceful as a startled swan (light green) Sword Type (light purple) Shifting Stars (light blue))

【Shifting Stars (Light Blue)】: Use their own methods against them.

"It actually developed related characteristics!" Jiang Ning looked at his panel and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He then conducted some more tests but found nothing noteworthy.

"Forget it! Let's see how efficient this sword technique is at gaining experience points!" He shook his head and gripped his longsword tightly again.

Immediately, the sword's momentum arose.

The air currents surged again.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +53]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +48]

After finishing practicing the sword technique once, he sheathed his sword and stood up. Looking at the prompt that appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but frown.

Efficiency has been nearly halved.

Such efficiency, coupled with the increase in required experience points.

To reach the current level of progress, it will take almost three times longer than before.

"As expected, it gets more and more difficult as you go higher! With this sharp decrease in efficiency, I estimate that after two more breakthroughs, the experience gain efficiency might be equivalent to that of the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword before!"

The thought of such slow, tortoise-like efficiency was unbearable to him.

With that kind of efficiency, he no longer needs to spend time on merely mastering superior swordsmanship.

"I hope more traits that can enhance my talent will appear later!" he thought to himself.

Then he set off on his way back.

Three days later.

It is still deep in the Dongling Mountains.

boom--

The mountains and forests trembled, and a furrow was plowed into the earth.

Jiang Ning sheathed his longsword.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword + (Six Limit Breaks 7000/7000) (Traits: Balance of Strength and Softness (Light Green) Defense (Light Blue) Graceful as a Swan (Light Green) Sword Type (Light Purple) Shifting Stars (Light Blue))

"Finally full!"

Looking at the panel, Jiang Ning let out a long sigh of relief.

Compared to before, this time it took him a long time to fully master the Yin-Yang Sword, a full two and a half days.

"If this breakthrough doesn't result in a corresponding talent boost, then we'll have to stop here for now!"

A thought flashed through his mind.

Then my gaze swept over the Energy Points column.

[Source Energy]: 11342
In the past three days, in order to collect enough energy points, he also used some of the stockpiles that were originally intended for blood transfusions.

"I hope it goes well!" he thought to himself again.

Immediately, a thought struck him, and he no longer hesitated.

[Source Energy]: 1342 (11342→1342)

In just a fleeting moment.

The number of energy points decreased by tens of thousands.

His sword intent surged wildly, bursting forth from his body.

hum! !

The void trembled, and an invisible aura spread out, turning fallen leaves into dust, which was then scattered by the wind.

Within a radius of over a hundred feet, every blade of grass stood erect at that moment, like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky.

In a corner unnoticed by anyone, Jiang Ning's two sword intents overlapped, reaching an astonishing level.

After a long time.

The surging sword intent slowly receded into Jiang Ning's body, and Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant.

A flash of sword light appeared in his eyes, and ripples immediately appeared in the void in front of him.

At this moment, although he did not check his own panel, Jiang Ning understood that the biggest improvement this time was in his sword intent.

The Demon-Subduing Sword Intent and the Shifting Sword Intent have just merged.

The fusion of the two sword intents allowed him to reach a new level.

The changes within his body also made him realize that the characteristics derived from this breakthrough of the Yin-Yang Sword must be related to this.

Otherwise, the fusion of sword intent wouldn't be so simple.

With this thought in mind, he immediately looked at the panel.

【Skill】: Yin-Yang Sword (Seven Limit Breaks 37/8000) (Characteristics: Balance of Strength and Softness (Light Green) Defense (Light Blue) Graceful as a Swan (Light Green) Sword Type (Light Purple) Shifting Stars (Light Blue) Yin-Yang Fusion (Dark Blue))

"Deep Blue grade?"

"Sure enough, the further you go, the more source energy points you consume, but the higher the grade of the derived characteristics will be."

He murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on the characteristic of the fusion of Yin and Yang.

【The Fusion of Yin and Yang (Deep Blue)】: Understanding the way of the fusion of Yin and Yang allows one to easily merge and unify multiple energies.

"The way of the fusion of Yin and Yang?" he murmured.

My thoughts couldn't help but drift back to what I had learned before.

The core of the pinnacle of first-grade martial arts lies in the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit.

The three elements of the King of Huai'an were fully integrated, and with a single move of the Great Luo Heaven Hand, he forced the powerful cave-heaven expert Pang Yunhai to flee in disarray.

"I wonder if it will help with the complete integration of essence, energy, and spirit. If it does, then my path to the first rank will be smooth sailing!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning felt a surge of excitement.

After a while.

After calming his emotions, he resumed practicing his swordplay.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +17]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +18]

【.】

He stopped abruptly after finishing one round of swordplay.

"The reduction is so drastic!" He frowned as he looked at the panel.

Having reached this stage, the Two Elements Swordplay faces numerous difficulties on its path forward.

Not only is the progress slow, but the number of energy points required to break through the limit has also increased significantly.

The next time the limit is exceeded, the required number of energy points will no longer be small.

It requires a full 10,000 points.

The further along the journey, the more exaggerated the consumption becomes.

As for the increase in combat power brought about by the breakthrough in swordsmanship, although there is some, the increase is not significant.

He felt it wasn't worth investing too much time in this.

Think for a moment.

Jiang Ning raised his sword in a powerful stance.

Suddenly, sword light surged like a tide, and the intersecting sword energy crisscrossed in all directions, instantly filling the mountain forest with a chilling aura.

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +47]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +51]

【.】

After the usual swordplay ended, Jiang Ning withdrew his sword stance.

"The efficiency of the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword has improved quite a bit!" A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that the experience points of the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword would not change much compared to a few days ago.

After all, the characteristics derived from the two breakthroughs of the Yin-Yang Sword were not as he had hoped.

His kendo talent did not improve in the slightest.

However, the experience points gained have increased exponentially.

"It seems to be related to one's skill level!" He then immediately understood.

The Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword technique, a superior sword art, contains the essential principles of swordsmanship.

If an ordinary martial artist can master this sword technique, it will greatly enhance their skill in swordsmanship.

With such a foundation, if one were to learn a new sword technique, the initial progress would undoubtedly be miraculously aided, progressing by leaps and bounds.

He has now made several breakthroughs in mastering the Yin-Yang Sword, surpassing the Seven Star Demon Subduing Sword in terms of skill level, and his swordsmanship has greatly improved.

Given this situation, the Taixu Yin Yang Sword shouldn't be that difficult for me.

With that in mind, his gaze immediately swept across the panel and landed on the Taixu Yin Yang Sword section.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Beginner 5231/10000)

"Let's give it a try!"

As soon as a thought arises in my mind, I begin to adjust my own state.

call--

With a few breaths, my mind returned to calm.

next moment.

As soon as the sword in hand moved, the golden energy accumulated in the dantian began to drive the sword technique.

The sword light surged like a rolling tide, flickering uncertainly in the void.

Time and space here seem to have become disordered at this moment, and yin and yang seem to have been reversed.

The light was sometimes dim, as if day and night were alternating, and sometimes bright, with the sun shining high overhead.

Although it was afternoon, it was a sunny day.

However, the phenomenon of day and night occurs simultaneously in this place.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning suddenly had many insights, and his understanding of this sword technique deepened.

Those insights and understandings were all related to the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword.

He could also clearly feel that, compared to before, what he saw and felt when practicing this sword technique now was completely different.

That's a difference in perspective.

At different altitudes, the views and scenery are all different.
