Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 638 Invincible Grandmaster, Jiang Ning!
In the mountains and forests.

When Nan Zhiwei reappeared in front of Jiang Ning and Ye Zhengqi.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and he was covered in blood.

However, no wounds could be seen on the exposed skin.

Jiang Ning understood that this was not because Nan Zhiwei was uninjured, but because in that short time, all of Nan Zhiwei's superficial wounds had healed.

"Inspector Jiang, what kind of swordsmanship is this!" Nan Zhiwei asked, looking at the unremarkable longsword in Jiang Ning's hand.

"Superior swordsmanship, the Yin-Yang Sword Technique!" Jiang Ning replied.

"The Yin-Yang Sword Technique? What a profound sword technique! It's beyond the reach of ordinary superior sword techniques!" Nan Zhiwei exclaimed with emotion.

Having withstood Jiang Ning's burst of sword energy, he knew that Jiang Ning's strength had surpassed his own and that Jiang Ning was capable of defeating him.

That sword strike made him feel as if he were facing the true might of heaven. The torrent of sword energy erupted like a celestial river pouring down, which was beyond human power to resist.

If he hadn't already undergone seven blood transfusions, making his physical body virtually indestructible, this sword strike would have taken half his life.

Even now, although the injuries on his body have healed thanks to the powerful vitality of his physical body, there are still remnants of sword intent running rampant inside his body, damaging his internal organs.

"Inspector Jiang, I'd like to experience your move that was as powerful as the sun just now." Nan Zhiwei looked at Jiang Ning with a serious expression.

Seeing Nan Zhiwei's serious expression, Jiang Ning nodded.

"it is good!"

"Thank you!" Nan Zhiwei's expression immediately brightened, and his face lit up with joy.

For him, he has been stuck at the last step for ten years. If he doesn't break through now, he will be stuck there for the rest of his life as he gets older.

This outcome was unacceptable to him, given his pride and arrogance.

He would rather die than give up his martial arts if he could not find a chance to advance further.

"Please enlighten me!" Nan Zhiwei said earnestly, gripping his long sword. His entire demeanor changed instantly, like a divine sword just drawn from its sheath, its sharpness fully revealed.

Jiang Ning nodded.

next moment.

It was as if a great sun was rising within him.

His vital energy was boiling, his blood was burning, and terrifying heat erupted from his body, causing golden light to burst forth from every pore on his body.

In just a moment, the surrounding air began to distort.

Jiang Ning was enveloped in endless golden light.

Then, a great sun seemed to rise from the mountains and forests, its golden light dazzling and blinding, as if the great sun overhead had fallen to earth at that moment.

King's capital.

Supervisor Tiansi.

"Quickly, quickly invite the lord over. An energy fluctuation of an invincible grandmaster has appeared in the Guangning Prefecture area of ​​Zeshan Prefecture."

A gasp of surprise rang out from the second floor, the very heart of the Observatory.

next moment.

Several figures immediately surrounded a compass.

The compass features a Yin-Yang symbol at its center, surrounded by the eight trigrams (Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui) and the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches.

As the compass emitted a bright light.

A map of the Great Xia Dynasty floats one foot above the compass.

The outlines of the thirty-six prefectures of Kyushu are all clearly visible.

Everyone immediately saw a bright and unusual fluctuation appear outside Guangning Prefecture within Zeshan Prefecture.

at this time.

An old man with white hair and a youthful face, white eyebrows and beard, and wearing a long robe appeared in front of the compass.

"Greetings, Lord Si!"

"Greetings, Lord Si!"

"."

Everyone bowed repeatedly.

The old man nodded slightly, but his gaze was fixed on the geographical map of the thirty-six prefectures of the nine provinces above the compass.

“The energy fluctuations of an invincible grandmaster!” The old man narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp.

next moment.

He raised his hand and pointed, and a beam of light shot into the compass.

In an instant.

In the light and shadow image, the bright spots of light begin to expand rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they form a two-dimensional painting with interlacing light and shadow.

The image prominently features a dazzling, golden sun.

Under the intense light, no one could see what was happening in the painting.

the other side.

In the mountains and forests.

Jiang Ning's sword fell.

boom--

Nan Zhiwei immediately felt the fierce and domineering sun descending and enveloping him.

the other side.

Ye Zhengqi immediately retreated, arriving dozens of feet away in an instant.

Then, he saw the golden light dissipate, saw Jiang Ning standing with his sword, and saw Nan Zhiwei's body charred black.

It was impossible to tell whether the body was charred flesh or dissolved clothing.

"What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Nan Zhiwei asked slowly, his words coming out with difficulty.

"The imagery of the sun soaring through the sky!" Jiang Ning exclaimed.

"The sun is high in the sky! What a magnificent sun!" Nan Zhiwei said with difficulty.

Looking at Jiang Ning in front of him, he felt extremely complicated.

Only after personally experiencing the great sun descending upon the world did he understand the terror of Jiang Ning's move.

In that instant, he almost felt himself dissolving into that great sun.

If that feeling hadn't come and gone so quickly, if it had lasted just two or three more breaths, the outcome wouldn't have been the same.

"I've lost!" Nan Zhiwei said, his words flowing much more smoothly.

"Does Chief Nan need my help with his injuries?" Jiang Ning asked.

"No need!" Nan Zhiwei shook his head.

Jiang Ning could clearly sense that Nan Zhiwei was in much better condition than before.

next moment.

A flash of light appeared in Nan Zhiwei's hand, and a jade box appeared in his hand.

As the jade box was opened, a bright, golden-orange pill appeared inside.

Then, Nan Zhiwei swallowed the pill from the jade box in one gulp and closed his eyes slightly.

at the same time.

Ye Zhengqi also walked over again.

After a few breaths.

Nan Zhiwei opened his eyes.

The newly charred and curly hair on the top of the head began to fall out, and new hair began to grow back.

Large chunks of scabs and hardened charcoal began to fall off, revealing the jade-like skin beneath.

"Such a powerful self-healing ability!!" Jiang Ning was secretly amazed as he watched Nan Zhiwei's condition.

He has not suffered any serious injuries during this time.

Although it is known that with a grandmaster's physique, vitality, and extremely strong self-healing ability, ordinary superficial injuries can be healed in the blink of an eye.

Even if limbs are severed, the body can regrow with the guidance of will.

But having never seen or experienced one firsthand, they had little concept of a grandmaster-level expert, especially a top-tier grandmaster.

Seeing the changes in Nan Zhiwei now, I truly understand how powerful the self-healing ability of a grandmaster like Nan Zhiwei is.

He was seriously injured just now, but now his injuries are almost completely healed, and his burnt hair has grown back.

After a while.

Nan Zhiwei shuddered, and the dust on his head flew up. His long, gray-white hair cascaded down his back, glossy and free-flowing.

The charred bits on his body were completely blown away, revealing his jade-like skin.

Then, Nan Zhiwei looked at Jiang Ning with a sigh.

"Inspector Jiang, the world calls me the number one person below the second rank in Guangning Prefecture!"

"Now I understand that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding!"

"I am grateful to Inspector Jiang for showing mercy in this encounter!"

Just now, he sensed that it wasn't Jiang Ning's full strength. If that blazing sun had lasted a few more breaths, he would have had a hard time remaining as intact as he is now.

The terrifyingly high temperature was enough to melt flesh and blood.

If the fire poison enters the heart and lungs, it will further damage his internal organs.

"He held back?" Ye Zhengqi was surprised to hear Nan Zhiwei's words.

He knew very well what kind of strength Nan Zhiwei possessed after many encounters with him.

It is no exaggeration to call him the number one person below the second rank in Guangning Prefecture.

This praise is the result of Nan Zhiwei's many years of genuine talent and hard work, not just flattery from the world.

But at this moment, Nan Zhiwei not only lost to Jiang Ning, but also frankly admitted that Jiang Ning had held back.

Invincible Grandmaster!!
Ye Zhengqi looked at Jiang Ning, and the name immediately came to mind.

Invincible Grandmaster.

That's the title for someone invincible in the realm of a third-grade Grandmaster.

That is a terrifying existence that is comparable to a second-grade Grandmaster, and even surpasses some newly entered second-grade Grandmasters.

Looking across the land, there are nine provinces and thirty-six prefectures.

The number of experts who can obtain the title of Invincible Grandmaster is even smaller than the number of experts who have reached the peak of the first-grade martial arts.

This is extremely rare.

He had never even heard of anyone in Jiangning's age who received this title.

at the same time.

Just as Ye Zhengqi was secretly alarmed, Jiang Ning smiled at Nan Zhiwei.

"Chief Nan, you're too kind. We were just having a friendly spar, not fighting to the death!"

After a while.

Nan Zhiwei then used the excuse of seclusion to leave first.

“Inspector Jiang, I’ll be heading back now! If you have time these next few days, you can send someone to find me so I can give you a proper welcome!” Ye Zhengqi said.

"With these words from Prefect Ye, I will definitely have a good talk with him before I go back!" Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"With pleasure!" Ye Zhengqi replied readily.

Having witnessed Jiang Ning's strength, he felt he had nothing left to be arrogant about.

Invincible Grandmaster.

That was a field he dared not even think about.

Normally, that's a title that can only be obtained after completing eight blood transfusions.

Although Jiang Ning's move was too profound, summoning the sun to rise into the sky with the sword and possessing the power to incinerate all things.

He also knew that such power must be a technique that far surpassed the realm of superior martial arts.

Compared to the Marquis's Summer Thunder, it's not even in the same league.

He also couldn't understand why Jiang Ning could glean such terrifying truths from the six solar terms of summer.

This was completely beyond his imagination and comprehension.

In the end, he could only attribute it to Jiang Ning's extraordinary talent and astonishing comprehension, which allowed him to grasp a truth that ordinary people could not comprehend.

Subsequently.

Ye Zhengqi bid farewell to Jiang Ning and then soared into the sky, heading towards Guangning City.

In the mountains and forests.

Watching Ye Zhengqi leave, Jiang Ning slowly withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the longsword in his hand again.

next moment.

The sword intent surged, and the sharp sword energy filled the surrounding area.

His blood and qi suddenly boiled, and his blood and qi were burning.

It was as if a great sun was rising within him, with dazzling golden light bursting from every pore of his body.

In an instant.

His entire body was enveloped in endless, dazzling golden light.

It was as if a great sun was rising in the mountains and forests.

Quietly feel this power.

Jiang Ning gradually realized the truth.

Compared to the artistic conception gleaned from the Springtime Manual, the Great Sun Soaring in the Sky artistic conception is clearly on a much higher level.

At first, he did not feel that the imagery of the sun soaring into the sky was particularly extraordinary.

However, after exchanging blows with Nan Zhiwei, he realized that he had underestimated the power of the Great Sun Soaring Through the Sky.

If we say that he can unleash his full combat power by wielding the Yin-Yang Sword, then...

Then, by unleashing the Great Sun Soaring Through the Sky, one can unleash twenty or even thirty points of combat power.

These differences are not simply a matter of the difference between superior techniques and ultimate techniques.

Not to mention, the Yin-Yang Sword Technique in his hands is no longer an ordinary superior sword technique. It has been broken through multiple times and has truly surpassed the category of superior sword techniques in terms of power level.

As for the Great Sun Soaring Through the Sky realm, he has only reached the minor level of understanding, not even the perfect level.

There is such a huge difference between the two.

"This may be related to my physique, or it may be related to the inheritance of the Shangyang Immortal Sect!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he murmured to himself.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Technique (Breaking the limit three times to 17633/40000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Dark Purple) Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple))
【Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple)】: Possesses pure Yang energy, and is as bright as the sun.

Looking at his panel, he recalled the inheritance he received in the Shangyang Inner Realm half a month ago.

On the pulpit in the inner landscape of Shangyang, he saw scenes from the past.

I saw my senior brothers and sisters sitting on the prayer mats, each with extraordinary appearance and otherworldly grace.

I saw a handsome young man sitting cross-legged on the pulpit.

They also received a tragic and devastating scripture transmission.

The character “阳” in the scriptures.

[Craftsmanship]: Yang Character Scripture (incomplete, cannot be upgraded)

His gaze then swept across the bottom of the panel, where the record of the Yang character scripture stood out prominently.

"It must be related to these two things!"

Upon reflection, he became increasingly convinced that his guess might be true.

The incomplete scroll of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms contains twenty-four profound meanings.

Regardless of who attempts to comprehend the true meaning, the ultimate conclusion will be largely the same.

However, the artistic conception of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—derived from the twenty-four solar terms is different for each season.

As for the idea of ​​comprehending reincarnation and time through the changing seasons, it only exists in imagination and legendary records.

However, the imagery of the sun soaring in the sky that he gleaned from the six solar terms of summer is clearly too over-the-top.

Even at the level of minor mastery, he possesses such powerful abilities.

"I wonder how domineering it would be if it were perfect?"

The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

the other side.

Ye Zhengqi had just left when he noticed the commotion behind him and turned around to look.

A golden sun rose again from the mountains and forests.

Under the golden sun, the view in the mountains and forests began to become distorted and blurred.

Waves of heat surged in all directions.

"The sun is high in the sky?!"

"I really don't know how he figured it out!"

Ye Zhengqi shook his head, a vague feeling lingering in his mind.

The more he saw and interacted with Jiang Ning, the more he realized how ordinary he was.

It was an overwhelming crushing of him in every aspect: comprehension, innate talent, aptitude, potential, and foundation.

"It seems my position as governor is not secure! Jiang Ning's strength is far above mine, and in terms of combat power, he has already entered the realm of invincible grandmaster."

"If this continues, the higher-ups will probably have to promote him!"

"With his current unparalleled Grandmaster-level combat power, it's a waste of his talent to serve as a mere county inspector!"

Suddenly, a jumble of thoughts flooded Ye Zhengqi's mind.

After a while.

He steadied himself, and with a swift movement, sped straight towards Guangning City.
