Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 653 The all-embracing nature of Li San, the Overlord Blade!

Night falls, and the moon hangs high in the sky.

At this moment, Jiang Ning had no hesitation.

He looked at his control panel.

[Source Energy]: 191387
Then, with a thought, the energy points decreased rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the energy points were reduced by a full ten thousand points.

【Source Energy】:181387
At that moment, he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a shockwave erupted around him, like a volcanic eruption, a flash flood, or a tsunami.

The violent air currents gathering around him instantly tore up chunks of ground.

Trees and rocks caught in the violent airflow were instantly reduced to dust.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning was also immersed in the breakthrough of this sword technique.

time flies.

The raging air currents gathering around him grew even more intense.

The constantly converging air currents transformed the area around him, spanning several dozen feet, into a forbidden zone for life.

The violent airflow was enough to tear apart any life that came near this area.

suddenly.

It seems as if the pause button has been pressed at this moment.

Everything around him suddenly stopped.

The continuously gathering airflow seemed to lose some kind of support at this moment and began to dissipate rapidly.

It only takes a moment.

All the converging air currents receded like the tide, leaving only a mess on the ground.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword (Seven Limit Breaks 33/8000) (Trait: All Rivers Run into the Ocean (Light Blue))

【Sea Embraces All Rivers (Light Blue)】: Like the sea, it embraces all rivers.

"Like the ocean, embracing all rivers?"

Looking at the four words on the panel, Jiang Ning murmured to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Think for a moment.

He closed his eyes again to sense the changes within himself before opening them again.

"The upper limit of body capacity should have been expanded."

He made his own judgment.

He then practiced his swordsmanship again.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +57]

【.】

After practicing the sword technique once, he felt confident in his abilities.

After the breakthrough, the power of the Yin-Yang Sword has reached a new level.

However, correspondingly, it becomes more difficult to further improve this sword technique.

On the one hand, the required experience points have increased, and on the other hand, the experience points gained have decreased.

Compared to just now, the efficiency of gaining experience points has been almost halved.

Subsequently.

He then changed his swordsmanship and began practicing the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword.

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +44]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +45]

【.】

After finishing one round of swordplay, he stopped wielding his longsword.

Compared to before, due to the breakthrough of the Yin-Yang Sword and the improvement of swordsmanship, the Seven Star Demon Subduing Sword has also improved its efficiency in gaining experience points.

at this time.

Jiang Ning looked at the notification flashing before him, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The rapidly declining efficiency dashed his hopes of achieving great things by stepping on his own two feet.

If you want to continue to improve, the time required will increase exponentially.

However, compared with other martial arts techniques, these two sword techniques are still very efficient.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he decided to mention the two sword techniques again.

The current efficiency of his swordsmanship experience points growth is still within an acceptable range.

Further upgrades would consume source energy points within his acceptable range.

If we don't make sufficient preparations now, we'll only spend more time on the Taixu Yin Yang Sword in the future.

Afterward, he practiced the Two Elements Swordplay a few more times before heading home.

It landed in the front yard of the house.

He instantly sensed the two presences in the house.

Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu.

at this time.

Sitting in the living room, the two of them stared at each other blankly.

Their eyes met, as if to say, "Did we make a mistake coming here? Did we make the wrong decision?"

Jiang Li poured more tea for the two of them and was about to get up to get some dried fruit.

at this time.

Footsteps came from the direction of the gate.

The two looked up and saw Jiang Ning strolling towards them.

"Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu immediately stood up.

"Inspector Jiang!" Zhao Yulong also stood up.

"What brings you two here so late at night?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.

“Brother, the two gentlemen arrived this afternoon!” Jiang Li said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning looked at Bai Luoyu and Zhao Yulong in surprise.

"What brings you two here?"

"It's nothing!" Zhao Yulong shook his head: "I just saw the commotion you caused during the day and learned that Inspector Jiang's strength has greatly improved, so I came to congratulate you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

"Since you two have come to offer your congratulations, why don't you join me for a drink?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Zhao Yulong smiled.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning remotely instructed Lü Yi to prepare some wine and dishes.

A blink of an eye.

Two more days passed.

Luyi walked out of Jiangning's room carrying a quilt cover and bed sheets.

"My lord, today is the seventh!" Seeing Jiang Ning in the courtyard, Lüyi reminded him.

Upon hearing Lüyi's reminder, Jiang Ning immediately nodded.

Then he rinsed his mouth with a gurgling sound and spat it out.

"Is October 28th the day of the martial arts examination?" Jiang Ning asked again.

“Yes, young master!” Green Ripple nodded.

"That means there are only twenty-one days left!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, young master!" Green Ripple nodded again, holding the bed sheets and blankets that needed to be changed.

Then she asked again, "Is the young master really going alone this time?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning glanced at Lü Yi and could see the expectant look in her eyes.

He nodded immediately: "Yes! There are only twenty-one days left, and time is very tight. I can only go alone!"

“Then Wanwan and I will wait at home for the good news that your son has won the martial arts championship!” said Lüyi.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded with a smile.

"When does the young master plan to set off?" Green Ripple asked again.

"There's no rush!" Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head, then continued, "If I go to the capital, it will be very quick!"

“Young master, the capital is tens of thousands of miles away from here!” said Green Ripple.

"You don't trust your young master anymore?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.

“Of course I believe what you say, young master!” Green Ripple nodded emphatically.

Subsequently.

Green Ripple left with the bed sheets and duvet covers she needed to change.

Jiang Ning also sprinkled the last handful of fish food in his hand onto the lake in front of him.

Fish food was scattered like raindrops.

The ornamental koi in the lake immediately stirred up waves as they scrambled for the food.

After feeding the fish, Jiang Ning casually placed the empty plate on the railing by the lake.

“Master, it’s me!” Linglong suddenly jumped out.

"You've already taken human form, why are you still eating fish food!" Jiang Ning reached out and tapped Linglong's forehead, then immediately pushed her away.

"But Master," Linglong rubbed her slightly reddened brows, then said with a wronged expression, "but it tastes really good as a snack!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning gave Linglong a look of admiration.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a small cloth bag appeared in his hand. He then tossed the bag to Linglong.

"Take it!"

"Thank you, Master!!" Linglong's face lit up with joy, her golden-red eyeshadow reflecting a bright light in the sunlight.

Watching Linglong skip away, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile faintly.

He then fell into deep thought.

The reason I didn't leave earlier.

He was worried that there might be new developments at Zhixuan Mountain.

After all, Fang Yu died at his hands.

Fang Yu came to the door openly and honestly that day, and more than one person saw it.

With so many days having passed, Zhixuan Mountain must have received the relevant information long ago.

If there's any movement, it should happen within the next few days.

As for going to the capital, judging by the time, there are still about twenty days left.

Although the capital city is tens of thousands of miles away from the Eastern Mausoleum City.

But with his current abilities, it wouldn't take him too long to travel at full speed.

Think for a moment.

"I hope Zhixuan Mountain can behave himself!" A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Subsequently.

He composed himself, glanced at the sky, and saw that the sun was high in the sky.

So he began to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Sun Soaring into the Sky.

He was in communion with the sun overhead.

The courtyard was bathed in golden light, as if a great sun were rising.

But it has light but no heat, as if it were an illusion.

Although it seemed illusory, the great sun in his heart grew ever brighter.

[Summer Pass Experience Points +25]

[Summer Pass Experience Points +26]

[Summer Pass Experience Points +23]

【.】
-
The next day.

He visualized a breakthrough in his skills.

From mastery to minor achievement.

What followed was that the great sun in my heart became clearer, brighter, and more dazzling.

The golden light emanating from his body intensified.

[Summer Pass Experience Points +31]

[Summer Pass Experience Points +30]

【.】

After a brief attempt.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes by the lake and felt satisfied when he saw the notification that had just appeared.

His breakthrough in visualization skills allowed him to perceive the grandeur of the sun soaring through the sky more efficiently, and the experience points he gained also increased accordingly.

Subsequently.

His gaze swept across the panel.

[Skill]: Visualization (Minor Success 33/5000)

After this period of accumulation, I have reached a minor level of proficiency in the special skill of visualization.

Then his gaze shifted downwards.

[Skill]: Summer Treasure Trove (First Limit Break 8768/20000) (Trait: Sunfire True Fire (Light Purple))
The Two Elements Sword of Strength and Softness (Seven Limit Breaks, 3247/8000) (Traits: Balance of Strength and Softness (Light Green), All-Encompassing (Light Blue))

After several days of arduous training, the Summer Treasure Manual and the Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword have also made significant progress.

Compared to his previous progress in martial arts, the progress in these two martial arts is undoubtedly very encouraging.

"In a few more days, I should be able to break through in both of these martial arts!"

He closed the panel and muttered to himself.

Then they entered into sympathy.

When the mind resonates with the sun, the sun rises in one's heart.

the other side.

On the banks of the Luo River.

It's late afternoon.

The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds, and the setting sun cast its reflection on the lake's surface.

As the gentle breeze swept across the lake, it seemed as if millions of golden scales were being stirred up.

at this time.

Li Sixiang gazed quietly at the distant lake.

I saw three or five people fishing in boats on the lake.

suddenly.

A strong gust of wind rushed from behind.

The moment the wind stopped, a voice rang out.

"Sect Leader Li, I've arrived!" The voice was deep, powerful, and extremely penetrating.

Upon hearing the voice, Li Sixiang turned around.

Then he saw a scarred giant who was a head taller than him.

The big man's head was shiny and completely hairless.

He had a hideous scar on his face, nearly 20 centimeters long, which almost split the big man's face in two.

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge would recognize the man's identity upon seeing the distinctive scar on his face.

Li San'er, the notorious criminal wanted by the imperial court, the leader of the Thirteen Linked Forts, and the tyrant who terrorized Jiulong Lake several years ago.

The battle that made Li San'er famous was when he was almost killed by the former leader of the Thirteen Linked Forts with a single blow, leaving an extremely ferocious scar on his face.

Later, Li San'er, the Overlord Blade, got an opportunity, greatly improved his strength, entered the ranks of the third-grade grandmaster, killed his enemies, and became famous in one battle.

After that battle, Li San'er, the Overlord Blade, became famous throughout the Jiulong Lake area and in Yun Tuan Prefecture.

After entering the ranks of grandmasters, no one dared to call him Li San'er anymore; instead, they all called him Ba Dao Li San.

Even though Ba Dao Li San had reached the Grandmaster level and could easily repair his bones and restore the scars on his face, he still didn't do so.

Instead, they left the scar on their face, regarding it as a disgrace.

Anyone who has seen Ba Dao Li San's face knows that he is an extremely vengeful and ruthless person.

If he didn't hold grudges, why would he leave such a hideous scar on his face?

After Li San, the Overlord Blade, took command of the Thirteen Linked Forts, his actions became increasingly rampant, resulting in numerous bloodshed incidents at Jiulong Lake.

Ultimately, due to their rampant actions, they were besieged and wiped out. The Thirteen Linked Forts were basically destroyed, with some dying and others fleeing.

Li San, the Overlord Blade, escaped with his life thanks to his formidable strength.

Over the years, he traveled to various prefectures and counties, and his reputation only grew stronger.

Looking at the domineering swordsman Li San in front of him, Li Sixiang immediately nodded.

"I never expected Brother Li to be such a person who keeps his promises."

"I, Li San, keep my word! I owed you my life back then, and I've always remembered that kindness!" Then, Li San, the Overlord Blade, continued, "Sect Leader Li, speak! What do you need me to do?"

Li Sixiang said, "Help me kill someone!"

"Kill people?" Ba Dao Li San glanced at Li Si Xiang: "Does Sect Leader Li need me to kill the person he wants? If Sect Leader Li, a dignified second-rank Grandmaster, can't handle it, how could I, Li San, possibly do so?"

Li Sixiang shook his head: "It's not that I can't handle it, but my identity makes it unsuitable for me to take action."

"Who is it?" asked Ba Dao Li San.

"Inspector of Dongling Prefecture, Jiangning!" Li Sixiang said.

"It was him?" Ba Dao Li San's face immediately showed surprise.

"So you've heard of it too?" Li Sixiang said.

“I’ve heard of it!” Ba Dao Li San nodded with a somewhat solemn expression: “Fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, how could I not have heard of it?”

Then, he frowned again.

"According to the records on the Heavenly Ranking, the strength of that Jiang Inspector is only slightly lower than mine. The Heavenly Ranking has always underestimated the strength recorded, which means that although that Dongling County Inspector is young, his strength should be above mine."

Upon hearing Ba Dao Li San's words, Li Si Xiang immediately nodded.

"That Inspector Jiang is indeed more powerful than you!"

Ba Dao Li San frowned: "So, Sect Leader Li wants me to go and die?"

Li San then nodded: "That works too! I owe you my life, what's wrong with me returning it to you!"

Li Sixiang immediately laughed: "Chief Li, you've misunderstood! How could I let you go and die in vain?"

The words fell.

Li Sixiang took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it to Li San.

Seeing the confusion in Li San's eyes, Li Sixiang said again, "There is a section of divine bone in the box, and the divine bone contains the meaning of mountains and rivers!"

"The meaning of mountains and rivers?" Li San frowned, then looked up at Li Sixiang: "What does 'mountains and rivers' in 'cloud mountains and rivers' refer to?"

Li Sixiang nodded.
