Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 631 The Wind and Thunder Steps Break Limits, the Physical Body Breaks the Sound!

Lakeside.

Jiang Ning took a small sip of his wine.

He could feel the imperial fluid flowing through his body, as if purifying his flesh and making his body more transparent.

Incidentally, he also shared some of the wine containing the Emperor's nectar with Linglong and the old tortoise next to her.

The old tortoise held the wine containing the Emperor's nectar in its forepaws and savored it little by little.

Linglong also held the wine glass with both hands, and with each sip, her legs swayed happily in mid-air.

She was clearly in a very good mood at the moment.

Jiang Ning quietly savored this rare moment of tranquility.

As the sun slowly set, its afterglow painted the sky red.

"Let's go eat!" Jiang Ning stood up.

Hear the words.

Linglong immediately jumped off the recliner.

"Master, wait for me!"

Then, one of them walked in front, and the other behind, their shadows stretched long and narrow by the setting sun.

The next morning.

Jiang Ning pushed open the door, and a cool mountain breeze immediately blew in, invigorating him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath of fresh air, and walked towards the courtyard.

After a while.

He stood in the courtyard, sword in hand.

His gaze immediately swept towards the panel.

[Source Energy]: 183763
One hundred and eighty thousand?
His eyes narrowed slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen this number.

His gaze paused for a moment, then moved downwards.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword (Six Limit Breaks, 473/7000) (Trait: Sword Heart Clarity (Light Purple))

Yin-Yang Sword (Six Limit Breaks 287/7000) (Specialty: Sword Type (Light Purple))

Both sword techniques have now reached the limit six times, giving him many useful talents.

"We now have plenty of Source Energy Points, so let's upgrade these two sword techniques further!"

The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, and he had already made his decision.

next moment.

As soon as he raised his sword, the sword light rolled like a tide.

A strong sense of impending doom immediately filled the surroundings.

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +74]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +72]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +74]

【.】

He practiced his swordsmanship again and again, and his experience points increased rapidly.

Chenshi.

After breakfast.

At the entrance of the mansion.

“Young master, I’m waiting for you at home!” Green Ripple said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled, and with a swift movement, he vanished from Green Ripple's sight.

After a while.

"grown ups!"

Xie Xiaojiu was stunned when he saw Jiang Ning appear.

"This sword." The Spirit Sword Sword Nine immediately appeared in Jiang Ning's hand.

Then, he raised his hand and tossed the spirit sword Jian Jiu, which darted like a fish and arrived in front of Xie Xiao Jiu in an instant.

“Take it!” Jiang Ning said.

"Thank you, Lord Xie!" Xie Xiaojiu reached out and grabbed the longsword, which landed in her hand.

All of a sudden.

She felt the spirit sword in her hand tremble and resonate, as if it were cheering and celebrating.

"Hold this sword carefully and let it help you comprehend the essence of swordsmanship!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu turned his wrist, and the hilt and blade of his sword were pointing downwards as he bowed to Jiang Ning.

"Open your mouth!" Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaojiu's mouth opened slightly.

next moment.

Three drops of pale golden blood, arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "品" (pǐn), flew into her mouth.

"Go back and absorb it properly! Grow up as quickly as possible!" he said again.

After undergoing eight blood transfusions, every drop of his blood now contains immense and powerful energy.

A single drop of blood can unleash its energy and instantly evaporate a pond.

With three drops of blood entering Xie Xiaojiu's body, Xie Xiaojiu's current strength would allow her to achieve a leap in power.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Xie Xiaojiu's eyes flickered, but he was speechless.

Jiang Ning glanced at the spirit sword again indifferently.

"Don't get any funny ideas. If I see anything amiss when I get back, I'll refine you!" he said.

The words fell.

Xie Xiaojiu immediately felt the spirit sword in his hand tremble, as if it were in fear.

next moment.

Jiang Ning vanished from Xie Xiaojiu's sight in a blur.

The spirit sword in Xie Xiaojiu's hand finally returned to calm.

Then, the sword vibrated again.

But this time, Xie Xiaojiu felt not fear, but cheers.

The sword possessed a spirit, and at this moment, the spirit within the sword left Jiang Ning, feeling a great weight lifted from its shoulders.

These days, it has been following Jiang Ning around, being held in Jiang Ning's hand, and has truly witnessed Jiang Ning's terrifying speed of progress.

Even the phrase "a thousand miles in a day" is insufficient to describe its view of its master.

It also knew that if Jiang Ning did not perish along the way, it could not harbor any ulterior motives.

This is not only because Jiang Ning possesses the method to forge it, but also because of Jiang Ning's terrifying rate of progress.

the other side.

After leaving Xie Xiaojiu, Jiang Ning arrived at the city wall of the East District in an instant.

Ahead, beneath our feet, lies the surging, roaring Nu River.

He had a general understanding of what the spirit sword was thinking.

He also knew that as long as he didn't get into trouble, the spirit sword wouldn't dare to make any small moves, nor would it dare to devour Xie Xiaojiu's essence and spirit to continuously increase its spirituality.

Because he possesses the secret techniques of the Lingbao lineage, specifically the Lingbao weapon-forging technique.

With this secret technique, he could easily melt down that spirit sword and erase its spiritual essence.

It could be said that he held the power of life and death over that spirit sword.

So he wasn't worried.

Now, he has also discovered that after reaching his current level of swordsmanship, that spirit sword is basically no longer of any help to him.

In his hands, it cannot bring him an efficient increase in sword skill experience points.

That's why he returned the sword to Xie Xiaojiu, hoping she could grow up quickly.

These days, the sword has been by his side, and he has been practicing those two superior sword techniques in his hand over and over again.

The baptism of the sword intent allowed the spirit sword to remember his sword intent.

"I hope Xie Xiaojiu will live up to my expectations!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Subsequently.

He moved again, instantly disappearing from the towering city wall and into the waters of the Nu River.

Following the flow of the Nu River can save me 20-30% of the journey.

A thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

He unleashed the Great Five Elements Water Escape Technique, instantly merging his body into the surging river.

In an instant.

Countless images of light and shadow flashed before his eyes.

Those fleeting images intertwined, forming a series of complex and chaotic paintings.

After a moment of confusion.

Jiang Ning instantly appeared in the waters a hundred miles away from Dongling City.

He floated quietly in the river, the water's essence constantly gathering into his body to restore the energy he had lost from using the Great Five Elements Water Escape Technique.

After half a cup of tea.

The 20-30% that had been consumed was recovered.

wow-

As the waves splashed, Jiang Ning emerged from the water and landed on the shore.

[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Step + (Eight times breaking the limit 9000/9000) (Traits: Breath of Wind (light green), Deep Still Wind (dark blue), Spatial Rhythm (dark blue))

During this period, daily walking and the agility and dodges during sword practice will increase the experience points of the Wind and Thunder Step.

It can be said that this movement technique has long been integrated into all his daily actions.

Before I knew it, the progress of the Wind and Thunder Step experience points had reached the maximum.

With his current 180,000 source energy points, he can advance the Wind and Thunder Step to a higher level at any time.

"Are you going to break through?"

Looking at his current stats, a thought flashed through his mind.

The last breakthrough in Wind and Thunder Steps consumed a full 20,000 Source Energy Points. This time, the consumption has increased, requiring a full 50,000 Source Energy Points.

Even for his current savings, 50,000 energy points is an enormous sum.

This made him hesitate.

Is it worth spending 50,000 energy points to upgrade the Wind and Thunder Step movement technique?

He hesitated for only a moment before shaking his head, having already made his decision.

50,000 energy points seem like a lot these days.

But that's only true for him right now.

Just six months ago, let alone 50,000 energy points, he would have had to think carefully before making a decision, even if it were only 5,000 energy points.

But now he doesn't even need to blink at 5,000 energy points.

This is the difference brought about by different strengths and statuses.

The stronger you are, the easier it is to acquire resources.

The more energy points you accumulate, the easier it becomes.

Once he understood this step, he had nothing to hesitate about.

If we run out of energy points, we'll find a way to get more.

Any investment that can improve his abilities is well worth it.

Moreover, the energy points you accumulate do not earn interest.

next moment.

He glanced at the energy points again.

[Source Energy]: 183763
Then a thought suddenly occurred to me.

In an instant.

Energy points plummeted like a waterfall.

【Source Energy】:133763
In an instant, the energy points decreased by a full 50,000.

After a while.

Jiangning made the breakthrough with ease.

He opened his eyes, and instantly there was a whirlwind of wind and thunder within them, with streaks of lightning filling them.

[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Step (Nine times breaking the limit 2388/10000) (Traits: Shrinking the Earth to an Inch (Dark Purple↑), Wind Whisperer (Dark Green), Deep Still Wind Sway (Dark Blue), Spatial Rhythm (Dark Blue))

"The Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique has actually been upgraded?" Jiang Ning looked at the panel with surprise, his eyes burning with admiration.

【Shrinking the Earth to an Inch】: A spatial supernatural power.

The simple introduction reveals the unusual nature of this characteristic.

Spatial supernatural power.

Anything that borders on supernatural powers is not simple.

Not to mention that this is a spatial supernatural power.

The space encompassing the four directions, both above and below, is called the universe.

The past and present are called the universe.

The combination of the two is an interpretation of time and space.

It can be said that the power of space is second only to that of time, and is one of the most mysterious forces in the world.

It is also the most essential force that constitutes the world.

Shrinking the earth to an inch is a supernatural power involving this kind of strength.

next moment.

Jiang Ning took a step forward.

In an instant.

He then sensed a shift in time and space.

As he stepped down, he arrived in the mountains and forests.

He looked back and saw that the Nu River was already more than 300 meters away from him.

"One step, a hundred feet!!" A thought suddenly struck him.

Subsequently.

He took another step.

In an instant.

In an instant, it covered a hundred feet.

So he tried again.

They took one step after another.

His figure kept flashing in and out.

Each flash covered a distance of a hundred feet.

After a while.

Having fully mastered the Shrinking Earth Technique, Jiang Ning stopped.

call--

He took a deep breath, feeling a sudden wave of fatigue.

Using the supernatural power of shrinking the earth to an inch does not consume mental energy, qi and blood, or physical strength.

It's his spirit and energy that's striking.

The significant depletion of his energy and spirit left him feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

"I need to go into the water!" He scanned the surroundings and used his divine sense to instantly discover a water source.

After a dozen breaths.

He came to a calm lake, the water level of which was somewhat shallow, and a large amount of dried-up lakebed was exposed around the shore.

Clearly, the lake's current water storage capacity is severely insufficient.

If this continues, it will eventually dry up completely.

"This drought seems to be very serious!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

With a swift movement, he entered the lake.

In an instant.

He then felt the rich essence in the lake water gathering into his body, replenishing what he had just consumed.

That's a really useful feature!
He silently contemplated the scene, his expression relaxed, quietly enjoying the nourishing effects of the lake water on his body.

A full incense stick's time had passed.

He then realized that his body had almost fully recovered.

"That's enough!" He leaped out of the lake, his body completely dry.

Then, with a stomp of his foot, he soared upwards like a roc spreading its wings, instantly plunging into the azure sky.

Let's go to Guangning City!

He instantly locked onto the direction of Guangning City, his physical body breaking through the air, his speed constantly increasing, faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye.

He easily broke the sound barrier, reaching the speed that Shen Wenyuan had achieved when his physical body broke through the air.

However, his performance was completely different from Shen Wenyuan's.

Shen Wenyuan's speed exceeded the speed of sound, his physical body broke the sound barrier, and the air waves he created were like surging waves.

And his current speed has also reached this level.

When the physical body broke through the air, there was not much of a commotion.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ning landed in front of Guangning City and let out a slight breath.

Even now, he felt that traveling by breaking through the air with his physical body was somewhat too taxing.

He also rested for a while during the journey to replenish his energy.

"Back then, I wonder if Shen Wenyuan came to Baisha County from Guangning City in one go?" The thought flashed through his mind.

If Shen Wenyuan could do that, he felt he would have to think more highly of Shen Wenyuan.

Subsequently.

He moved swiftly and arrived at the city gate.

The city gate, which could accommodate eight carriages entering and exiting at the same time, was unusually lively at this moment.

Merchants and pedestrians came and went in an endless stream.

Jiang Ning simply paid the city entrance fee and entered the city.

Along the way, he moved swiftly, like a gentle breeze, speeding along the main road in the city where eight carriages could travel side by side.

the other side.

Wanhua Tower.

"Miss! This is the latest news about that Inspector Jiang!" A maid in a yellow dress came to Xia Wanqin and respectfully handed her a summary of information.

Xia Wanqin took the summary of information handed to her by the maid, glanced at it, and looked surprised.

"He's already at the level of a top-tier grandmaster?"

"Yes, Miss, according to the latest intelligence, that Jiang Envoy must have entered the ranks of top grandmasters, and his strength is no less than that!" the maid said respectfully.

"How is this possible?" Xia Wanqin murmured, her eyes flashing. "How could he have reached the level of a top grandmaster at such a young age? He couldn't have been deceiving the world all along, saying that he started practicing martial arts from the womb."

The maid did not respond to this.

She knew that her young mistress wasn't really asking her a question, but rather was amazed by Jiang Ning's current strength.

"I heard he left a request in the building before. How is the progress of his request?" Xia Wanqin asked again.

"That river inspector asked us to collect the incomplete scrolls of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, and we have now collected the six incomplete scrolls he needed," the maid said.

"A fragment of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms scroll? It seems he wants to comprehend the ultimate truth of the cycle of the four seasons." Xia Wanqin said, her eyes flashing.

“Miss, that’s what I think too! The blood exchange technique that Inspector Jiang practiced required nine sessions, so Inspector Jiang must lack enough true essence to complete the subsequent blood exchange,” the maid said.

"Nine blood transfusions have made him a martial arts legend, one of the most likely to become a Martial Saint," Xia Wanqin said, his expression filled with emotion.

"Do you think he can succeed?" Xia Wanqin asked the maid again.

“Miss, in my opinion, the possibility is very low! There are countless geniuses in the world, but the legends of martial arts are sometimes broken. It can’t be that simple,” the maid said.

A thoughtful look appeared in Xia Wanqin's eyes.
