Chapter 25: Resonance of the Kung Fu
Chu Ning calmly activated his true energy, and a very weak wave emerged from the bell, resonating subtly with the Hunyuan Divine Order in his body for a moment. Although it was extremely brief, it was extremely clear.

A storm was brewing in his heart.

"More importantly, it can protect your soul." Li Jing'an continued, "If someone uses their spiritual sense to investigate you, or uses a soul-stealing technique, this bell will automatically resist and protect your sea of ​​consciousness."

Chu Ning's heart trembled slightly when he heard this.

Guardian soul?

This is an extremely precious treasure.

Especially for a warrior like him who has not yet fully grown up, if he encounters an enemy who is good at mental attacks, he is often unable to defend himself.

"I'll give it to you today." Li Jing'an waved his hand, his tone so casual as if he was giving away an ordinary object.

Chu Ning looked at the Xu Ling Bell in his hand, but he didn't feel relieved.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly speculating in his heart:

"Li Jing'an has been hiding his cultivation level. He must be relying on this Xu Ling Bell to conceal his strength."

"But now he gave it to me without hesitation. Could it be that he has other intentions?"

But on second thought, this was a huge benefit after all, and he had no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning raised his head and said frankly: "Old Li, then I won't be polite."

"Hehe, kid, you are really unpretentious." Li Jingan chuckled.

Chu Ning held the Xu Ling Bell in his palm, closed his eyes, slowly activated his true energy, and tried to communicate with it.

In an instant, a wonderful wave spread out from the inside of the bell. He could clearly feel his breath being wrapped by an invisible force, as if his whole body merged into the world, becoming ethereal and ethereal.

"This thing... is indeed mysterious."

Chu Ning secretly marveled.

However, just as he was feeling the peculiarity of the Xu Ling Bell, he suddenly realized something strange.

He was holding the bell at the moment. Logically speaking, since Li Jing'an gave it to him, it should no longer be able to conceal the fluctuations in his own cultivation.

But Chu Ning still couldn't feel Li Jing'an's cultivation.

It's like...

It seems like he has no cultivation at all.

Chu Ning was stunned and suddenly looked up at Li Jingan, his eyes full of confusion.

Li Jing'an noticed Chu Ning's gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"What's wrong? Boy, why are you staring at me?"

Chu Ning frowned and said, "You have already given me your Xu Ling Bell, why can't I sense the fluctuations of your cultivation?"

Li Jing'an laughed heartily, with a look of complacency on his face. He did not answer immediately, but slowly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and felt the changes in himself.

"In fact, as early as when you walked in, I sensed a resonance with the Hunyuan Qi Refining Method."

Chu Ning was stunned, and his heart moved slightly.

"Although the Hunyuan Qi Refining Method is simple, it possesses boundless mysteries. After a practitioner's spirit and soul reach the Guiyuan realm, the techniques resonate with each other. This resonance caused my Qi and blood to flow subtly, and my previously stagnant Qi to loosen a little."

Li Jing'an's eyes were deep, as if he was reminiscing. "At that time, I knew that the bottleneck I had been holding for years might have a chance to break free. But what really allowed me to break through was far more than that."

He shook his finger, which had a faint tooth mark on it.

"Just now, after being bitten by your little white fox, I faintly felt the blood and energy in my body surge, and the obstacles that had accumulated for many years were actually further loosened."

He paused, his smile widening. "And what finally pushed me to break through was your lightning strike."

Chu Ning's thunder power was overbearing and fierce, containing a unique shock force, which completely activated Li Jing'an's Qi. Li Jing'an slowly stretched out his hand, clenched his five fingers lightly, and the momentum around him subtly changed.

"I had been stuck at the advanced level of the sixth rank for a long time, unable to break through. But under the impact of your thunder power, the internal energy in my body was completely connected, and I broke through to the fifth rank."

Chu Ning was stunned when he heard this.

A warrior's breakthrough often requires a long period of accumulation and opportunity.

The sixth and fifth grades are a huge watershed.

Li Jing'an actually broke through instantly due to the resonance of his own martial arts, the bite of the little white fox, and the stimulation of the thunder power?
"What's that?" Chu Ning said with a complicated expression, "The resonance of the technique plus a bite from the monster, plus my thunder power, and you've achieved a breakthrough just like that?"

Li Jingan laughed heartily and patted Chu Ning on the shoulder. "You don't understand. This is called opportunity."

"When a warrior reaches the fifth rank, he can conceal his aura on his own and has officially entered the ranks of the powerful."

A fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Chu Ning looked at Li Jingan in shock, his heart trembling.

As the Supervisor of the First-Rank Pavilion, Li Jing'an's strength far exceeds that of an ordinary sixth-rank warrior. Now that he has broken through to the fifth rank, his strength is probably even more difficult to estimate.

He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that my thunder power has helped you a lot."

Li Jingan chuckled and said, "You owe me a favor."

"As for your concern about why you couldn't sense my cultivation level even without the shield of the Void Spirit Bell, it's because those below the fifth rank are all mortal."

"But those above the fifth rank are true practitioners."

Chu Ning pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

The fifth level means entering the realm of true strength.

And Li Jingan finally crossed this threshold.

He looked at Li Jingan in front of him and suddenly realized.

Although I have grown rapidly, there is still a big gap compared to the real strong ones.

"It seems that I have to improve my strength as soon as possible."

Chu Ning clenched his fists, his eyes determined.

Li Jing'an suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Now that Wang Li is dead, the Wang family will probably be searching for the murderer. The Xu Ling Bell should be able to help you escape this disaster."

He paused, his eyes darkening. "The Wang family's ancestor is a tough character to deal with. Don't think that killing Wang Li will solve the problem once and for all. From now on, you must be even more careful."

"I heard that the Wang family has a secret deal with the Blood Refining Hall. As Patriarch Wang's lifespan nears its end, the elixir of immortality becomes his last hope. He is seeking cooperation with the Blood Refining Hall at all costs, even secretly providing living people to refine the elixir."

Chu Ning's heart was shocked, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The Blood Refining Hall extracts the blood of living people with extremely cruel methods. How dare the Wang family collude with them?

Li Jing'an said slowly, "Wang Lin, the ancestor of the Wang family, is said to have lived for nearly two hundred years. He should have passed away long ago, but he has used special secret techniques to extend his lifespan time and time again. If he hadn't reached the end of his life, he wouldn't have gone so crazy."

"He has less than a year to live."

Chu Ning took a deep breath and bowed solemnly, saying, "Thank you."

Li Jingan waved his hand and chuckled, "No need to thank me, the most important thing is to live well."

Chu Ning nodded, hugged the little white fox tightly in his arms, turned around and walked away slowly.

The night was dark and starry, and his figure gradually disappeared in the streets.

Li Jing'an stood there, his eyes deep as he looked at Chu Ning's back and sighed softly: "I hope you can hold on until then..."
