Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 258 - 13: Breakthrough to Seventh Grade, Mastering Inner Breath!

The moon rose above the treetops.

Splash ——

Waves splashed in the pond as a figure suddenly emerged from the lake.

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

It was Jiang Ning.

"Indeed!" Jiang Ning clenched his fist excitedly, feeling the power ready to burst within him, his heart leaping with joy.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that clenching his fist casually, compared to before, had become much smoother.

This state indicated that the toughness of his Great Tendon had noticeably improved.

"With this situation, it won't be long before I can truly step into the Martial Arts Seventh Grade."

"Entering the Martial Arts Seventh Grade, normally speaking, one can unleash a force three times as strong as during the peak of Eighth Grade."

"With my strength increasing by three times, I believe I can compete with most of the Martial Arts Seventh Grade."

Thinking of this, the scene of Cao Rong making his move that day involuntarily flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

The arrows broke through the air, momentarily causing a sonic boom.

"Cao Rong, truly fearsome!"

"Hong Minghu actually commanded me to lead a team to annihilate the Cao family; this move will surely bring about a reckless retaliation from Cao Rong."

Thinking this, Jiang Ning's brows slightly furrowed.

"This is troublesome! I need to enhance my strength as soon as possible!"

...

Time flew swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

By the Luoshui River.

Snap ——

Jiang Ning casually lashed out his arm, which, like a whip, suddenly produced a crisp crackling sound.

"Whipping fists like a whip, Martial Arts Seventh Grade achieved!!"

Jiang Ning suddenly looked elated.

Using up only half of his beef tendons, he had reached the Martial Arts Seventh Grade, a level where the human body's Great Tendon was as resilient as a cow's.

Reaching this level meant he was officially in the Martial Arts Seventh Grade.

And this, too, marked his entrance into a new level of Martial Arts.

Immediately.

Jiang Ning clenched his fist; power circulated within his body, accumulating.

The next moment.

Boom ——

He punched out, releasing power like a deluge.

The punch boomed through the air, creating a thunderous sound.

"Still not there!" Jiang Ning slightly shook his head.

With his punch, he could feel the air in front of his fist as if it were substantial.

However, it was still not sufficient to trigger an explosion.

This indicated that his punch was still not comparable to the arrows shot by Cao Rong.

Thinking back to that scene, Jiang Ning pondered, "From this, it seems Cao Rong is indeed not simple; his archery is extraordinary!"

"His bow and arrows are also out of the ordinary!"

"Indeed, the threat of a skilled archer is exceptional."

"Perhaps, I too could try learning an archery skill!"

With this thought, Jiang Ning glanced at his own panel.

[Name]: Jiang Ning

[Source Energy]: 237.6

[Skills]:

Reading and Writing (Second Limit Breaking 2955/3000) (Traits: unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)

Five Animals Fist (First Limit Breaking 413/2000) (Traits: Five Internal Organs Store Essence)

Chopping Wood Blade Skill+ (Four times limit-breaking 5000/5000) (Traits: touch and understand, Blade like a swift wind, God-like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One)

Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Mastered 1977/2000)

Canglang Blade Skill (Great Success 67/1000)

Vajra Immortal Body (Small Success 453/5000)

Swimming+ (Four times Limit Breaking 5000/5000) (Traits: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation Technique, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Formation and Rainfall)

Over the course of a few days, Source Energy Points had also seen a rise.

Reaching a value of 237.6.

Since the Source Energy Points had broken through the 200-point threshold, and both Chopping Wood Blade Skill and Swimming had their experience values completely filled up, they were now eligible for the fifth limit-breaking.

Yet, Jiang Ning was not planning to allocate his Source Energy Points to these two skills.

Because Reading and Writing was about to break through.

Once Reading and Writing breaks through again, according to Feng Jiuge's statement, he could use the so-called Sumeru Ring.

This matter, in fact, was where Jiang Ning felt he should use his Source Energy Points most.

Now, his Source Energy Points were clearly running short.

To undergo the fifth limit-breaking for Swimming, he needed 200 Source Energy Points, and it was the same for Chopping Wood Blade Skill.

Just for these two skills, there was a shortfall of over one hundred and sixty Source Energy Points.

Not to mention that Reading and Writing was also approaching its third limit-breaking, which likewise required fifty Source Energy Points.

"The gap in Source Energy Points is a bit large!" Jiang Ning said to himself as he looked at his panel, letting out a quiet sigh.

Immediately afterward, his gaze moved downward.

[Skills]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Mastered 1977/2000)

"Fortunately, the level of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is high enough, reaching the level of condensing Inner Breath, and does not yet require spending Source Energy Points."

Now, Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill was also reaching a critical stage.

Within today, this cultivation technique would certainly break through to small success.

Small success in Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill would allow him to cultivate Inner Breath within his body.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's emotions subtly turned to excitement.

Possessing Inner Breath, strength would surely experience a qualitative leap.

This enhancement, in his view, was maybe even greater than the enhancement from stepping into the Martial Arts Seventh Grade.

After all, Inner Breath is a power possessed by those in the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm.

Only those with Inner Breath can be called true Fifth Grade.

Immediately, Jiang Ning looked up at the sun overhead.

At this time, the sun had already surpassed its early rising phase, and the sunlight was becoming fierce and harsh.

Temperatures also gradually rose.

Thus, it was also getting closer to the period from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

"Almost time!" Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

When the time reached from 7 a.m to 9 a.m., it would be time for him to start practicing Inner Elixir Cultivation and Breathing and releasing the Essence of the Great Sun.

Immediately, he no longer bothered with anything else and picked up a miscellaneous book from beside him to read.

[Adventures of Qingwei True Man]

This miscellaneous book tells of a Daoist master, Qingwei True Man, traveling through the Nine States, even to the countries of many demons in the south, the overseas islands in the East Sea, and documenting the star-studded eighty-one islands.

Thus, although it was a miscellaneous book, Jiang Ning read it very seriously.
