Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

The next day.

Jiang Ning stood on the terrace, practicing the Five Animals Fist leisurely.

The spacious terrace extends from east to west.

The rising sun transformed into millions of golden rays, enveloping Yingyue Lake and casting its light diagonally onto the terrace.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's movements were agile and graceful, sometimes resembling the darting of a White Ape, and sometimes his back arched like a bow, tense as if ready to shoot.

With each move, his muscles and bones engaged, Qi-Blood roared within him like a dragon, and his muscles twisted under the loose practitioner outfit like coiling dragons.

The seemingly casual movements held the weight of Mount Tai and the force of rushing thunder.

Sweat slowly gathered on his forehead.

His Qi-Blood gradually increased as he practiced his boxing.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[...]

The Experience Value of the Five Animals Fist increased rapidly.

The enhancement of his talent in boxing greatly multiplied the efficiency of accumulating Experience Value while practicing the Five Animals Fist.

Once the boxing sequence ended, he started over again.

Time passed slowly.

The rising sun gradually climbed higher, leaving the horizon.

Suddenly.

The air inside the room fluctuated.

"Come to me!"

Ye Zhengqi's voice echoed inside the room.

Upon hearing it, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged.

He was already familiar with the wonders of the Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

Back when Xiao Qiushui attacked him, Zhao Yulong had displayed such miraculous means.

Even from miles away.

His voice instantly resounded in the sky above Jiang Ning.

This was the Heavenly Person Resonance.

The resonance between a part of the world and a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

With means like these, sound need not travel through the air, and could instantly reach miles away, or even farther.

Otherwise, given the speed of sound, it would be too slow for such experts.

Especially for a Second Grade Grandmaster, it would be even slower.

A Second Grade Grandmaster like Shen Wenyan could break the sound barrier with his flesh.

Moments later.

The boxing sequence reached its end, and Jiang Ning stood with his fists retrieved.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

The prompt flashed before him as he closed his eyes to digest the realizations about the Five Animals Fist within his mind.

After a moment.

He opened his eyes again.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +4]

With talent enhanced, the efficiency indeed surged!

Seeing the prompt before him, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Six times breaking limit 4133/7000) (Traits: Five Internal Organs Store Essence, Five Elements Spirit, Master of Fist Skill (First Break), Bear and Tiger Body, Five Elements Body)

Unknowingly, his accumulation of Five Animals Fist Experience Value had already surpassed halfway.

This was despite his recent travels.

During the journey, he focused not on the Five Animals Fist, but the Wind and Thunder Steps, resulting in a substantial growth in its Experience Value as well.

[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Steps (Five times limit-breaking 6000/6000) (Traits: Wind Breathing, Gale and Lightning, Chasing Wind and Lightning, Wind Rhythm, Shrinking Ground to Inches)

He glanced at it and shook his head.

The Experience Value was maxed.

But the Source Energy Points were insufficient.

To break the limit of Wind and Thunder Steps, five thousand Source Energy Points are needed.

Besides, he was about to reach Third Grade, needing to reserve the Source Energy Points for the enhancement of the Chopping Wood Blade Skill.

After learning from Ye Zhengqi about inducing Heavenly Person Resonance with Sword Intent and channeling Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism into the body, he understood.

The remaining Source Energy Points should first be used on the Chopping Wood Blade Skill.

The perfection of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill could only lead him to Third Grade, completing one Blood Exchange Master.

Beyond that, he would need to channel more Heaven Mechanism Spirit into the body to complete a second, third blood exchange, and even higher.

He closed the panel, then tidied up and dressed before heading out.

...

Moments later.

Jiang Ning pushed open Ye Zhengqi's door, seeing the room empty with no sign of Ye Zhengqi.

Just then.

Ye Zhengqi's voice inexplicably sounded again in the empty room.

"Come to the peak!"

Upon hearing.

Jiang Ning closed Ye Zhengqi's door again.

He then extended his Divine Sense, sweeping upwards to locate Ye Zhengqi's presence.

Meanwhile.

Inside a certain room.

Amid rising blue smoke, an elderly man with silver hair and a Taoist robe suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ancestor, what's the matter?" a middle-aged man in a similar Taoist robe asked.

"Someone just used Divine Sense!"

"Divine Sense, could it be that Water Moon Sword Palace also has someone who can gather Yin God?"

"It should not be someone from Water Moon Sword Palace; it's an outsider attending the Grandmaster Banquet."

"Then did Ancestor identify the person?"

The silver-haired Taoist elder shook his head slightly.

"Unprepared, it flashed past, couldn't trace it back!"

...

On a pavilion at the peak.

Ye Zhengqi sat casually.

Opposite him sat a man with a stern face, thick eyebrows flying into his sideburns, with half-gray and half-black hair.

Beside the middle-aged man, there was a girl with braided, fragmented hemp hair.

The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Delicate in appearance, her skin as white as jade.

"Elder Zhong, your great-granddaughter is indeed Zhong Lingliuxiu, a fine pedigree!" Ye Zhengqi praised, continuing the previous topic.

"Haha!" The middle-aged man, referred to as Elder Zhong, burst into hearty laughter.

Then said, "Naturally! My great-granddaughter possesses a special Spiritual Body; if she were in Ancient Times, she would be a fairy among the immortals."

Ye Zhengqi agreed with a nod.

"Born in today's era, it's rather unfortunate!"

"Indeed unfortunate!" The middle-aged man sighed deeply, feeling his great-granddaughter was born in an untimely era.

Considering her special nature, had she been born in Ancient Times, her status would have been unparalleled.
