Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Next day.

The morning mountain breeze in this month is already tinged with a faint warmth.

The clean mountain air stirred the curtains, passing through the house.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

A day's boxing practice had drained his body of fatigue and exhaustion, yet with a few hours of sleep, he had completely recovered, his body restored to peak condition once more.

The energy within him was abundant, extremely vigorous.

He got up and clenched his fists, maneuvering the Qi-Blood within him, causing it to resonate like the sound of a dragon, instantly coursing through his entire body.

"Indeed, stronger!"

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Through his mastery of his physical body, he could realistically feel even the slightest increase in his strength.

Then, he looked at his panel.

[Source Energy]: 9494

Nine thousand four hundred ninety-four points?

Not bad after all!

Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he closed the panel, wearing loose training clothes and left the room.

"Truly a good day!"

Looking at the cloudless blue sky, Jiang Ning exclaimed.

Such weather signifies that his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill will further advance today, bringing him a step closer to achieving the status of Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

...

Moments later.

Finished washing.

He wiped the water off his face with his hands, shook dry, and once more looked at his panel.

[Source Energy]: 9494

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist+ (Five times limit-breaking 6000/6000) (traits: Five Internal Organs Store Essence, Five Elements Spirit, Master of Fist Skill, Bear and Tiger Body, Five Elements Body)

Source Energy Points broke through the five-thousand mark.

With full dedication yesterday, the familiar plus sign on the Five Animals Fist Experience Value reappeared.

This also signifies that he has fully equipped the foundation for the Five Animals Fist Break Limit.

"If that's the case, then break through!"

Looking at the current panel display, Jiang Ning was not excited but rather filled with inner calm.

Next moment.

The panel changed again.

Source Energy Points decreased like a waterfall.

[Source Energy]: 4494 (9494→4494)

Countless images flashed through his mind.

Each image was of him practicing boxing.

Practicing in the mountain forest, by the volcanic lava, at the peak of the mountain, by the jungle creek...

Images flashed by.

Giving Jiang Ning a sense of connection.

It seemed he really had practiced boxing in these places.

Practicing day and night, irrespective of cold and hot, spring and fall.

Countless insights about boxing surged into his mind.

In the mystical moments, his mind became ethereal, with countless flashes of enlightenment.

After a long while.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, his form like a serene mountain, his pupils like deep tranquil ponds, exuding an extraordinary aura.

He looked at his panel once more.

[Source Energy]: 4494

Source Energy Points were less than five thousand now.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Six times breaking limit 83/7000) (traits: Five Internal Organs Store Essence, Five Elements Spirit, Master of Fist Skill (First Break), Bear and Tiger Body, Five Elements Body)

[Master of Fist Skill (First Break)]: Exceptionally high boxing talent, transcendent, rare in the world. Cultivating any boxing-related techniques seems divinely aided, greatly enhancing their power.

Transcendent?

Rare in the world?

Seeing these words, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

Undoubtedly.

According to the panel's description, his boxing talent had been enhanced.

He then closed his eyes, searching for the skill previously described under Master of Fist Skill.

[Master of Fist Skill]: Possessing extraordinary talent in the path of boxing, enough to start a sect, ranked as a grandmaster.

Comparing the two.

Undoubtedly, his boxing talent had been elevated.

In this world, numerous martial arts prodigies exist.

Some excel at the sword, with exceptionally high swordsmanship talent.

Some excel at the leg, progressing rapidly in leg skill mastery.

Some excel at the spear, with spear in hand, fearless at heart.

...

And now, unquestionably, he excels at boxing.

And his boxing talent is exceedingly high.

Rare in the world, transcendent, exactly as the panel described his current boxing talent.

From this eight-word description, it sufficiently illustrates that his current boxing talent ranks in the top echelon of the world's elite prodigies.

Only the top echelon can receive the rare in the world, transcendent evaluation.

Afterwards.

Jiang Ning closed the panel and began practicing boxing on the spot.

As his body moved, his muscles and bones sounded, releasing an echo similar to a tiger's roar.

If he were to shed his clothes at this moment, one would clearly see every muscle and bone in his body in motion.

The force of the punches was formidable yet lacked the previous grand momentum.

But this wasn't because he had regressed, rather because he had progressed.

He had reached the level of returning to the basics, with divine might and subtle strength.

From the outside, he seemed almost indistinguishable from a novice martial artist.

And this was the manifestation of returning to the basics.

As he practiced boxing, prompts began to appear before his eyes.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

Upon seeing this, his gaze became steady, and a thought flashed in his mind.

Because at this moment, his Tiger Form Boxing had just ended, and this prompt appeared before him.

This led him to give rise to speculation.

"Could it be..."

With this thought, he continued practicing boxing.

When Bear-shaped Fist ended, another prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

"Indeed!!" Upon seeing this prompt again, surprise flashed in his eyes, though his hands continued without pause.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

As one set of boxing concluded, the subsequent three prompts arrived one after another.

[This practice of Five Animals Fist increased experience value by 5 points!]

"Efficiency increased by two and a half times compared to before!"

Glancing at the prompts, he silently reflected in his heart.

Then, he slightly closed his eyes, digesting the insights from his boxing practice.

When he opened his eyes.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

Another prompt appeared before his eyes.
