Chapter 129: Chapter 52 Experience Value Full, Xiao Peng Steps Into Martial Arts Ninth Grade!
Five days later.
Still morning.
Jiang Ning was practicing his punches over and over again in his own yard.
[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]
[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]
[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]
[…]
As he practiced, the experience value of Five Animals Fist slowly increased.
He also felt his Qi-Blood becoming increasingly robust.
A moment later.
He ceased punching and stood still, stopping his movements.
[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Perfection 1000/1000)
“It’s full!”

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning let out a sigh of relief.
The next moment.
His gaze slightly sharpened.
Because as the experience value of Five Animals Fist hit a thousand points, his panel did not show the familiar change; the familiar plus sign did not appear next to the name of the skill.
Then, he looked at his panel again.
[Name]: Jiang Ning
[Source Energy]: 37.8
[Skill]:
Reading and Writing (Second Limit Breaking 1043/3000) (Trait: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)
Five Animals Fist (Perfection 1000/1000)
Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Fourth Limit Breaking 5000/5000) (Trait: Touch and Understand, Blade like a Whirlwind, God-like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One)
Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Mastered 1243/2000)
Canglang Saber Technique (Great Success 48/1000)
Vajra Immortal Body (Mastered 266/2000)
Swimming (First Limit Breaking 187/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)
“That’s right!”
“These seven days, the medicinal coat of the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill in my belly was dissolved by my stomach, and my body absorbed its medicinal power, leading to a significant increase in the Source Energy Points I gained that day.”
“Over the past few days, I’ve also accumulated nearly thirty Source Energy Points, catapulting to 37.8.”
“However, with so many Source Energy Points, my experience value in Five Animals Fist has once again maxed out at a thousand points, but that familiar plus sign still hasn’t appeared.”
“It seems my previous premonition was not wrong!”
“For a lower-level martial art like Five Animals Fist that has gained some popularity, it requires many more Source Energy Points to break limit than insignificant skills such as Swimming and Chopping Wood Blade Skill.”
“I don’t know whether the First Limit Breaking for Five Animals Fist requires fifty Source Energy Points or a hundred?”
Jiang Ning mused internally.
Then, he took another glance at his panel.
[Skill]:
Five Animals Fist (Perfection 1000/1000)
Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Fourth Limit Breaking 5000/5000) (Trait: Touch and Understand, Blade like a Whirlwind, God-like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One)
…
He thought to himself again that now with both skills having their experience values maxed out, with enough Source Energy Points, both could immediately break through.
His strength would surely advance greatly once more.
Considering there are just about ten or so days left before the Inspection Office establishes its headquarters.
In such a violent institution, strength is undoubtedly extremely important.
I need to figure out how to gather enough Source Energy Points to allow for the First Limit Breaking of Five Animals Fist before that happens.
With this in mind, Jiang Ning turned and walked toward the house.
A moment later.
He checked his finances and had a total of over eighteen hundred Silver Taels.
He then took these eighteen hundred Silver Taels, along with some of the spoils of war he had saved, and headed towards Wanhua Building.
Having tasted the benefits of Blood Lotus before, Jiang Ning knew that to rapidly increase his Source Energy Points in a short time, he still needed to rely on those so-called Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures,
And not ordinary supplements like Wild Ginseng and Earth Ginseng.
Such supplements have a limited effect when taken daily.
The human body ultimately has a limit; taking too much will be too much for the body to handle.
Just like those Qi Blood Pills and Plant Essence.
All medicines have their side effects.
Taking a little daily, with his current physique and internal organs, is completely fine.
But excessive consumption can lead to the accumulation of drug toxins, ultimately causing irreversible damage to the body.
This is something that all people inevitably face.
And that’s why Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like Blood Lotus, containing powerful medicinal effects, are so valuable.
That’s why they seem to have no cost-effectiveness.
And that’s why the value of Blood Lotus doubles with every additional decade of age,
Because the erosion on the body remains constant, the stronger the medicinal properties, the greater the effect.
Naturally, the value rises accordingly.
Jiang Ning’s current trip to Wanhua Building was to sell some of the previous spoils of war, gather some Silver Taels, and then see if he could purchase some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with potent medicinal power.
He had also thoroughly grasped the pattern of his Source Energy Points growth.
It was the energy intake each day that determined the increase in Source Energy Points for the day.
Like when he first started without practising martial arts, consuming simple meals, the growth in Source Energy Points each day was minimal, usually 0.1 per day.
On occasions with meat and greasy food, it would be an increase of 0.2 Source Energy Points.
Later, after joining the Martial Arts Hall and being able to eat meat, the growth of his Source Energy Points surged along with it.
As for after obtaining the Wild Ginseng, his daily Source Energy Points also experienced a surge.
Then, the Qi-Blood Pills also brought about some additional growth in Source Energy Points.
In recent days, his most significant spikes in Source Energy Points came from only two sources.
The first was that fifty-year-old Blood Lotus.
Jiang Ning had roughly calculated that the Blood Lotus had accounted for an increase of over twenty Source Energy Points.
Secondly, were the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills. Each time his body absorbed a part of the Medicinal Power, it would result in a surge of Source Energy Points.
Based on the frequency of deterioration of the pills’ outer coating over the past few days, as well as the insights Jiang Ning gained through inner vision, it would take at least half a year to completely absorb the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills.
This was under the condition that he wasn’t actively refining the pills.
From his observation, it would take roughly five days to dissolve a layer of pill coating.
Just estimating, Jiang Ning knew just how terrifying the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills were.
If he were to refine the pill inside his body, just the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills alone could provide him with several hundreds of Source Energy Points.
Plus, he had another one.
If both pills were refined, he estimated it could potentially lead to an increase of nearly a thousand more Source Energy Points.
This also showed just how precious the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills were and the immense Medicinal Power they contained.
Not to mention, this was merely the additional effects the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills brought him.
The most important effect was to improve his constitution.
With an improved constitution, his body would grow stronger at an even faster rate, and the efficacy with which he could absorb various medicinal diets, pills, Heavenly Materials, and Earthly Treasures would significantly increase.
This was where the true value of the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pills lay.
Compared with these effects, the hundred Gold Taels offered as a reward by Medicine King Valley didn’t amount to much at all.
Afterwards,
Jiang Ning left his residence with those items, heading straight for the Wanhua Building.
…
Meanwhile,
At the Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
“Brother Zhou Xing has arrived!”
“Brother Zhou Xing has arrived!”
“And Brother Zhang Tiesheng is here too!”
“…”
With the carriage coming to a stop, Zhou Xing stepped into the Martial Arts Hall.
Upon seeing Zhou Xing’s arrival, everyone’s faces instantly lit up with excitement.
At this moment, with the arrival of Zhou Xing and Zhang Tiesheng, the front yard became even more lively.
Everyone greeted Zhou Xing and Zhang Tiesheng.
“Where’s Brother Jiang Ning?” asked Zhou Xing, scanning the crowd, then he inquired.
Someone immediately responded, “Brother Jiang Ning hasn’t arrived yet, but Brother Cheng Ran has gone to find him!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded, “Then who else hasn’t arrived?”
Hearing this, Zhao Hu couldn’t help but let out a sneer.
“Who else could be late other than that kid?”
Hearing Zhao Hu’s words, Zhou Xing pretended not to notice and completely ignored him.
Getting entangled with such a muddle-headed person like Zhao Hu was beneath his dignity and utterly meaningless.
At that moment,
The figures of Wang Jin and Li Qing slowly came into view of the crowd.
As Wang Jin appeared, the entire place suddenly went quiet.
“Has everyone arrived?” asked Wang Jin, his booming voice instantly spreading throughout the entire Qianyuan.
Someone replied, “Brother Jiang Ning and Brother Cheng Ran haven’t arrived yet, as Cheng Ran has gone to call for him.”
Wang Jin nodded slightly, then addressed Zhou Xing and the others, “Don’t worry about him. It’s fine as long as you few are here.”
Seeing this, Zhou Xing immediately bowed and asked, “Master Wang, what exactly is the matter?”
Master Wang declared, “Tomorrow, the Residence Master will arrive in Luoshui County and will also prepare for the establishment of the Inspection Office. Therefore, you candidates for the evaluation, I will take you in as Direct Disciples in three days. Everyone will witness this moment, and you will represent me in participating in the Inspection Office’s evaluation.”
At these words, Xiao Peng slowly stepped forward from the crowd.
“Master Wang, I have an objection!”
As soon as these words were out, everyone’s gaze instantly shifted to Xiao Peng.
“What’s your objection?”
Xiao Peng clenched his fists, his knuckles knocking against each other in front of his chest.
Bang—
A muffled sound echoed instantly.
Xiao Peng stated, “I have now stepped into the Martial Arts Nine Grade, and I have achieved Great Success in both Fist Forces! I am aware that Master Wang currently only has five spots available, and I wish to compete for one of those spots.”
“To compete with Brother Jiang Ning!”
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
“Did I hear wrong? Brother Xiao Peng actually did it, he truly stepped into the Martial Arts Nine Grade?”
“I told you before, Brother Xiao Peng is definitely more promising than Brother Cheng Ran!”
“Given that Brother Xiao Peng has reached this point, it’s no wonder he’s stepping forward.”
“Yes! If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t be satisfied either!”
“That’s right! Even though Brother Jiang Ning is favored by Building Owner Shen, even Shen might not be infallible! It’s still uncertain whether Brother Jiang Ning has stepped into the Martial Arts Nine Grade.”
“Indeed! After all, Brother Jiang Ning has trained in martial arts for such a short period. Even if his martial arts talent is incredibly high, it’s still debatable whether he can step into the Martial Arts Nine Grade in such a short time.”
“In my opinion, even if Brother Jiang Ning has really reached the Martial Arts Nine Grade, he may not necessarily be a match for Brother Xiao Peng, considering Xiao Peng’s combat experience is far richer than Brother Jiang Ning’s.”
“If Master Wang agrees and then Brother Jiang Ning is defeated by Brother Cheng Ran, that would be quite entertaining!”
At this moment, you spoke, and I spoke, everyone voicing their opinions.
All were expressing their skepticism about Jiang Ning.
In recent times, because Jiang Ning hadn’t been coming to the Martial Arts Hall for training, many people had already harbored grievances.
So, in this moment, using this reason, they unleashed their complaints.
Belittling Jiang Ning while elevating Xiao Peng was their most straightforward way of expressing themselves.
