Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 697 Blood and Qi Transform into a Crimson Dragon, the Crimson Dragon is Nine and Three Feet Long!
King's capital.

Supervisor Tiansi.

"Quickly, quickly invite the lord over! In the Guangning Prefecture of Zeshan Prefecture, the blood and qi have transformed into a crimson dragon, a crimson dragon nine feet and three inches long!!"

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

next moment.

Several figures immediately surrounded a compass.

A bright light emanated from the compass engraved with the Yin-Yang symbol and the Eight Trigrams.

Under the light, a map of the Great Xia Dynasty floated one foot above the compass.

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

Everyone immediately saw a red dragon coiled on a map of a mountain range within Guangning Prefecture in Zeshan Prefecture.

at this time.

An elderly man with a full head of long, gray-black hair suddenly appeared at this place.

"Greetings, sir!!"

"Greetings, sir!!"

"."

Upon seeing the old man whose eyes resembled bottomless pits, everyone bowed respectfully.

The blind old man nodded, his jet-black eyes fixed on the compass.

"Qi and blood transform into a crimson dragon, a crimson dragon nine feet and three inches long!"

"He has actually entered the realm of martial arts legends at such a young age!" The blind old man's tone revealed surprise.

"Sir, who is he referring to?" someone nearby couldn't contain their curiosity.

The blind old man shook his head: "It cannot be said!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at the people present and said, "No one is allowed to tell anyone about this!"

As soon as the blind old man swept his gaze over them, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their hair stood on end.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

After several breaths, someone whispered, "Yes, sir!"

……

The Dongling Mountains.

At this moment, the first rays of dawn are appearing.

Within the mountain valley, a crimson dragon of vital energy meanders upwards, seemingly poised to soar into the heavens.

Below the Crimson Dragon of Qi and Blood.

A man dressed in black stood there, his long hair flowing wildly over his shoulders.

His gaze was as cold as a knife.

On his clenched fist, the muscles writhed like a dragon.

"So powerful!!" Jiang Ning was shocked as he felt the power rising within him.

From a physical perspective, he felt that his strength had increased many times over compared to before.

Moreover, the strength and resilience of his entire body, including his tendons, bones, and muscles, have undergone a transformation.

Among these changes, the most significant are in the Qi and blood.

The qi and blood transformed into a red dragon, nine zhang and three chi tall.

Compared to the previous Crimson Dragon, which was only thirteen feet long, it was like heaven and earth.

His body was filled with abundant qi and blood, making him feel that he had inexhaustible power.

At this moment, the most dangerous blood exchange in the Blood Exchange Realm was completed.

He felt no weakness or hunger stemming from a lack of bodily energy.

On the contrary, he was full of energy, with bright eyes and a vibrant spirit.

"I don't know how strong I am now!" He spread his five fingers, then clenched them.

With just a light touch, you can feel the air in your palm flowing out like water through your fingers.

I carefully observed the changes in my physical condition.

He closed his eyes again.

With his mind focused on his body, he saw his own spiritual platform and the illusory golden phantom within it.

His gaze then fell on the golden phantom's brow.

At the center of his brow, a bright radiance shone with dazzling white light.

"The true spirit merges into the divine soul. Is this the final transformation of the nine metamorphosis of the true spirit?" he murmured to himself.

Although he had accomplished this, holding the True Spirit Mark and merging it with his own soul, he did not feel any other changes.

Only the memories of two lifetimes are incredibly clear.

Even a blurry image is now frozen in time, like a photograph.

You can easily see every single change within it.

He then explored for a while longer, and when he found nothing new, he opened his eyes.

now.

As dawn broke, the clouds on the distant horizon were bathed in golden light.

He glanced indifferently at the distant horizon, then immediately moved.

boom--

With a loud bang, his figure vanished into the ravine in an instant.

In an instant, he broke the sound barrier, and the air collided with his body.

"Such speed!!" He was secretly shocked as he felt the air flowing like water.

The significant increase in speed allowed him to truly feel the improvement in his strength once again.

Then, a thought struck him, and he used the Wind and Thunder Steps.

In an instant, he merged into the wind.

The speed increased dramatically once again.

In just a few dozen breaths, he saw houses rising and falling, high and low.

A moment later, he stopped in the air above his own residence.

It then landed in its own home.

At this moment, only a handful of people knew that another martial arts legend had been added to the Great Xia territory.

……

"Young Master!!" Seeing Jiang Ning, who appeared before her with disheveled hair and a radiant expression, Lü Yi smiled.

"Young master, did you succeed?" she asked nervously.

"Of course!" Jiang Ning nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lüyi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Young master, what would you like to eat this morning?" she asked again.

"Give me a bowl of noodles!" Jiang Ning said.

"Then add some beef and a few fried eggs!" she said with a smile.

"You understand me best!" Jiang Ning smiled and ruffled Lü Yi's hair.

……

An hour later.

Jiang Ning rubbed his stomach contentedly.

"You two eat first!" he said, looking at Lüyi and Zhongling who were sitting at the same table.

Then he got up and walked outside.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the wind and snow rushed in.

He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked outside.

Just moments ago, the eastern sky was still tinged with the pale light of dawn, with golden rays shining through the clouds.

The sky is now overcast again.

The snowfall was light, but the cold wind was howling.

The next moment, he walked outside.

The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, lashed against him, but the snowflakes vanished the moment they touched him.

Arrived at the East Courtyard.

He stretched his muscles.

After a while.

"Hoo—" He gently exhaled the stale air from his stomach.

The foul air spewed from his mouth like a white sword piercing the air, stirring up the snowflakes falling in front of him.

"It's been a long time since I practiced the Five Animal Fist!" he thought to himself.

Then a thought came to my mind.

Roar--

As soon as he began the Tiger Stance Fist, his internal organs roared, producing a sound like a tiger's roar in the mountains and forests, which shook the snow on the trees in the distance to the ground.

Then the firelight illuminated the scene, revealing a fire tiger faintly visible behind it, as the surrounding snow melted away.

A moment later, the tiger's posture changed, transforming into a bear's posture.

The originally domineering and unparalleled fist stance has transformed into a stable and unyielding bear stance.

The bear treads on the earth, its feet taking root.

At this moment, every move he made carried the power to shake the earth and move mountains.

The snow in the entire courtyard trembled with each move, each punch and kick he made.

The snow that had accumulated on the tree branches continued to fall in a soft rustling sound.

Then the fist technique changed to the ape stance.

Its movements were agile and swift. Only the increasingly strong whirlwind in the courtyard could be seen.

Then came the crane shape, and finally the deer shape.

[Five Animal Fist Experience Points +67]

After finishing one round of boxing practice, Jiang Ning stopped in the courtyard, steam rising from his body.

"Unbeknownst to me, my martial arts skills and increased talent have provided such a high level of efficiency boost to the Five Animal Fist!"

Looking at the prompt that appeared in front of him, he felt a pang of sadness.

Previously, he practiced diligently day and night in order to improve his skills in the Five Animal Fist.

Each complete practice of the boxing technique only increases experience points by one.

But the efficiency today is completely different.

After completing one round of boxing practice, the experience points increased by a full 67 points, which is equivalent to 67 times the efficiency before.

"Moreover, the power of their fist techniques is worlds apart, incomparable!" he muttered to himself.

He was deeply moved by the effect of having a high vantage point and a broad perspective.

If you understand one thing, you understand everything; if you understand one method, you understand all methods!
The ways of the world, though different, all lead to the same goal!
He suddenly understood.

He closed his eyes again, savoring the insights he had gained from practicing the boxing.

After a while.

He practiced the Five Animal Fist again.

……

Another round of boxing techniques ended.

Jiang Ning gathered his fists and stood tall and straight in the courtyard.

Snowflakes drifted down, melting away completely before they could even land on him.

now.

The rising heat enveloped him like smoke.

Within the smoke, in the bright eyes, there was peace and tranquility.

[Five Animal Fist Experience Points +199]

Seeing the prompt that appeared before him, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The progress gained from mechanically practicing boxing without consciously feeling and understanding it is completely different from practicing boxing with focused contemplation and careful thought.

"At the current rate, the Five Animal Fist can achieve further breakthroughs in a matter of days!"

"The only thing limiting me is my source energy points!"

With that in mind, he glanced at the panel.

[Source Energy]: 5055
After the Vajra Indestructible Body broke through, the source energy points plummeted from over 200,000 to just a few thousand.

For him now, several thousand energy points are of no use whatsoever.

The only thing he was really looking forward to was how much energy points the Phoenix Grass could bring her.

Even now, as long as he has enough Source Energy Points, his strength can still increase rapidly with breakthroughs in martial arts techniques and skills.

The only thing limiting his breakthroughs in martial arts techniques and skills is the amount of Source Energy Points.

He also thought this was perfectly reasonable.

In his view, source energy is a kind of energy that he cannot understand at present.

Only by expending energy and adhering to the law of conservation of energy can breakthroughs in skills and the development of unique characteristics be achieved.

You reap what you sow.

This makes sense.

After pondering for a moment, the turbulent energy within his body, which had been boiling from practicing the boxing, gradually calmed down.

"It's time to make a trip to the capital!" he thought to himself, glancing in the direction of the capital.

Previously, Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan's family left Dongling County and headed towards the capital.

Now, judging by the time, the family is not far from the capital.

Before they arrived, he also needed to go to the capital to greet Su Qingying and make arrangements for them.

Ever since he heard from Zhao Yulong a few days ago that the governors of Zeshan Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture had suddenly died, he felt that his previous arrangements were even more necessary.

In Dongling City, I can't guarantee that I won't suffer the same fate.

Especially as their strength increased, their abilities were gradually revealed to the world.

No matter what choice he made at that time, he could not remain uninvolved.

And along the way, so many people have helped him.

How could he possibly take advantage of someone, clean up his mess, and then retreat to the mountains?

Whether it's the path of martial arts, one must be courageous and diligent, and requires many resources to support oneself.

It was still those same people and things that made him unable to shrink back.

……

After a while.

The main gate of the mansion.

Fine snowflakes drifted down.

Luyi stood in the snow, holding an umbrella and wearing fleece-lined deerskin shoes.

The girl's thin body looked even more frail in the cold wind.

"Stay home and be back in a few days!" Jiang Ning patted Lü Yi's head.

"Don't worry, young master. I will take good care of this family!" Green Rhyme nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning nodded as well.

Then she looked at Zhong Ling: "It's been cold these days, try to stay home as much as possible!"

“I know, Brother Jiang Ning!” Zhong Ling nodded obediently.

Then, she stood on the threshold, watching Jiang Ning tiptoe, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

Then he walked over and casually ruffled Zhong Ling's hair, which had been ruffled by the cold wind.

"If you miss home, I'll send you back in the spring! With the destruction of Zhixuan Mountain, the Five Sacred Mountains Prefecture is now very safe!"

"As for these days, you should stay at my house and keep Xiao Lü company."

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Zhong Ling nodded: "Brother Jiang Ning, don't worry about me. Sister Lüyi and I will take good care of each other at home!"

"That's good!" Jiang Ning nodded, then added, "You two should go back as soon as possible! It's cold outside!"

After saying those words, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from their sight.

……

Sheriff's Mansion.

creak-

Wang Qingtan pushed open the door and saw Jiang Ning standing at the door.

The wind and snow swirled behind Jiang Ning, unable to get even a fraction closer to the room's door.

"In broad daylight, what brings you here today!" Wang Qingtan crossed her arms and leaned against the doorway.

Jiang Ning's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the sight of the hands clasped together.

Noticing Jiang Ning's gaze, Wang Qingtan felt a sense of pride and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

The fact that she could attract Jiang Ning's attention means she has a lot of potential.

"I'm going to the capital!" Jiang Ning said.

"Going again?" Wang Qingtan straightened up, her brows furrowed.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded: "The postponed martial arts examination is just around the corner. To obtain the title of martial arts champion, I must make a trip to the capital!"

“It’s important business!” Wang Qingtan nodded, then reached out and grabbed Jiang Ning’s arm, pulling hard.

He instantly pulled Jiang Ning into the room.

boom--

With a sound, the door was slammed shut.

"Hey, why are you taking off my clothes?" Jiang Ning's voice came from behind the door.

"What do you think?" Wang Qingtan said reproachfully, "You have to spend half an hour with me before we go to the capital!"

After a few breaths.

"Half an hour isn't enough!" Jiang Ning's voice rang out from behind the door.

tear-

Then came the sound of cloth being torn.

……

That night.

Jiang Ning reached out and smoothed the strands of hair that were damp with sweat in front of Wang Qingtan's eyebrows, revealing her fair and smooth forehead.

"Get a good night's rest and have a good sleep!" Looking at the sleeping woman, her chest rising and falling gently, and the spring light suddenly revealed.

Jiang Ning pulled the blanket covering her navel up a little higher, covering up her exposed skin.

After what happened last night, he quietly got up and put on his clothes.

The door opened gently, and outside it was pitch black, with a fierce snowstorm raging.

He looked back again.

In the flickering candlelight, her pretty face appeared exceptionally rosy.

The next moment, he disappeared behind the crack in the door, and the door was gently closed.

Until he was completely gone.

Wang Qingtan opened his eyes and glanced in the direction Jiang Ning had just left.

Immediately, she wrapped herself in the blanket and turned her head to the side to sleep.
