Chapter 1355: Chapter 220: Qi-Blood Turns into Red Dragon, Red Dragon Reaches 9.3 Zhang!_2

Arriving at the east courtyard.

He stretched his muscles and bones a bit.

Moments later.

"Hoo—" He gently expelled the impure energy from his abdomen.

The impure energy sprayed out from his mouth, like a white sharp sword piercing the air, sweeping the falling snowflakes before him.

"It’s been a long time since I practiced Five Animals Fist!" he mused inwardly.

Then, with a thought.

Roar—

With just the starting move of Tiger Stance Fist, his internal organs roared, emitting a sound like a tiger roaring in the mountains, shaking the accumulated snow off distant trees.

Soon, firelight reflected around, and a Fire Tiger could be vaguely seen behind him, causing the surrounding snow to melt.

Moments later, the Tiger Stance shifted, transforming into Bear Stance.

The originally dominant fist force turned into a Bear Stance as steady as a rock.

Bears tread the earth, rooting underfoot.

At this moment, his every move carried the power to shake the earth and provoke the mountains.

The snow throughout the courtyard vibrated continuously with every move.

The snow on the branches kept tumbling down.

Then the boxing turned into Ape Style.

His posture was agile, swift as lightning.

Only the increasingly strong whirlwind in the courtyard.

Then came Crane Form, and finally Deer Form.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +67]

When the complete set of boxing was finished, Jiang Ning stopped in the courtyard, steam rising from his body.

"Unexpectedly, my Martial Arts accomplishment and increased talent have granted such a high efficiency boost to the Five Animals Fist!"

Looking at the prompt that appeared before him, he couldn’t help but feel wistful for a moment.

Previously, in order to break through the Five Animals Fist, he practiced day and night.

Completing one round of boxing practice could only increase the Experience Value progress by a point.

But now the efficiency is altogether different.

Upon completing one round of boxing, the Experience Value increased by a full sixty-seven points, equating to sixty-seven times the previous efficiency.

"Furthermore, the power of the boxing is vastly different, beyond comparison!" he mused.

The effect of standing at a vantage point, looking far beyond, stirred his feelings deeply at this moment.

If one path is clear, all paths are clear; if one technique is clear, all techniques are clear!

The way of the world leads to the same goal despite different paths!

His heart became enlightened.

He closed his eyes again, carefully savoring the realization from practicing boxing just now.

Moments later.

He practiced the Five Animals Fist once again.

...

Once again, the boxing ended.

Jiang Ning gathered his fist force and stood tall in the courtyard.

The snowflakes fell continuously, yet they completely melted before touching him.

At this moment.

The steaming heat enveloped him like mist.

Within the mist, his bright eyes were peaceful and serene.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +199]

Seeing the prompt that appeared before him, a faint smile couldn’t help but appear on his lips.

The progress made by practicing boxing mechanically, without understanding or enlightenment, vastly differed from the progress made by focused comprehension and careful reflection.

"At the current efficiency, the breakthrough of Five Animals Fist can be achieved overnight!"

"The only limitation is the Source Energy Points!"

Thinking of this, he scanned the panel.

[Source Energy]: 5055

After the breakthrough of Vajra Immortal Body, the Source Energy Points plummeted from over two hundred thousand points to just a few thousand.

To him now, a few thousand Source Energy Points had no significance.

The only thing he eagerly anticipated now was how much Source Energy Points the Immortal Phoenix Grass could bring him.

Even having reached this point, as long as the Source Energy Points are sufficient, with the breakthroughs of Martial Arts Skill and Skill, his strength can still surge rapidly.

The limitation on his Martial Arts Skill and Skill breakthroughs was only the Source Energy Points.

Regarding this, he found it very reasonable.

Source Energy, in his view, was a kind of energy he currently couldn’t comprehend.

Expending energy and adhering to the conservation law of energy could lead to breakthroughs in skill and derivative traits.

Only with effort can there be gain.

This is the only sensible way.

His thoughts lingered for a moment, and the boiling internal energy from practicing boxing gradually settled.

"I should take a trip to the Royal Capital!" He looked toward the direction of the Royal Capital, murmuring in his heart.

Previously, Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan’s family walked out of Dongling County and headed toward the Royal Capital.

Calculating the time now, the family was not far from the Royal Capital.

Before they arrived, he also needed to go to the Royal Capital to greet Su Qingying and then arrange everything properly for them.

Ever since he heard from Zhao Yulong about the sudden deaths of the Zeshan State Patrol Envoy and Nan’an State Patrol Envoy, he felt that his previous arrangements were even more necessary.

In Dongling City, one could never be sure of avoiding a similar fate.

Especially as his strength improved and his abilities became more exposed to the world.

No matter what choice he made at that time, he ultimately couldn’t remain uninvolved.

And throughout his journey, too many people had aided him.

How could he just take advantage, clean his hands, and leave without a care before retiring to a secluded life?

In pursuing the path of martial arts, one needs to advance courageously with the aid of many resources.

And those people and events, they made it impossible for him to retreat.

...

A moment later.

At the mansion’s main gate.

Delicate snowflakes drifted down gently.

Lv Yi held an umbrella, wearing fur-lined deerskin shoes as she stood in the snow.

The girl’s slender figure appeared even more fragile in the cold wind.

"Stay home well, I’ll probably be back in a few days!" Jiang Ning patted Lv Yi’s head.

"Don’t worry, young master. I will take good care of this home!" Lv Yi nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also nodded.

Then she looked towards Zhong Ling: "These days are cold, try to go out as little as possible!"

"I know, Brother Jiang Ning!" Zhong Ling nodded obediently.

Then, she stood on the threshold, looking at Jiang Ning, rose on her toes wanting to speak, but hesitated.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled warmly.

He then walked over and casually ruffled Zhong Ling’s hair, which was tousled by the cold wind.

"If you feel homesick, I’ll take you back when spring comes! With the fall of Zhi Xuan Mountain, the Five Mountains Prefecture is very safe now!"

"As for these days, just stay well at my house and keep Little Lv company."

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Zhong Ling nodded: "Brother Jiang Ning, don’t worry about me, I and Sister Lv Yi will take good care of each other at home!"

"That will do!" Jiang Ning nodded, and added: "You two should go back inside quickly! It’s cold outside!"

Leaving these words, he turned and left, soon disappearing from their sight.

...

At the Commandery Governor Mansion.

Creak—

Wang Qintan pushed open the door and saw Jiang Ning standing at the entrance.

The wind and snow swirled behind Jiang Ning, unable to come any closer to the door even an inch.

"Bright daylight, how come you have time to visit me today?" Wang Qintan crossed her arms, then leaned against the doorway.

Her arms pressed, Jiang Ning’s gaze was inevitably drawn in.

Noticing Jiang Ning’s gaze, Wang Qintan felt a bit smug, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Attracting Jiang Ning’s gaze meant she had a lot to offer.

"I need to make a trip to the Royal Capital!" Jiang Ning said.

"Going again?" Wang Qintan stood straight, frowning.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded: "With the postponed Martial Examination around the corner, to obtain the title of Martial Champion, I must go to the Royal Capital!"

"That’s a serious matter!" Wang Qintan nodded, then reached and grabbed Jiang Ning’s arm, pulling him in forcefully.

Instantly pulling Jiang Ning into the room.

Bam—

With a sound, the door was slammed shut.

"Hey, what are you taking my clothes off for?" Jiang Ning’s voice came from behind the door.

"What do you think?" Wang Qintan scolded: "Before you head to the Royal Capital, you must spend an hour with me!"

A few breaths later.

"An hour is not enough!" Jiang Ning’s voice resonated from behind the door.

Rip—

Then came the sound of fabric tearing.

...

It was night.

Jiang Ning reached out to smooth the hair sticking to Wang Qintan’s forehead due to sweat, revealing a fair and smooth forehead.

"Rest well and get a good night’s sleep!" he said, looking at her deep in sleep, chest gently rising, revealing tender beauty.

Jiang Ning pulled up the quilt covering her navel to cover the tender beauty.

After last night’s affair, he quietly got up and dressed.

When the door quietly clicked, outside it was dark, and the wind and snow were intense.

He looked back once more.

In the flickering candlelight, her pretty face appeared exceptionally flushed.

The next moment, he disappeared behind the door crack, gently closing the door.

After he left completely.

Wang Qingtan finally opened her eyes, glanced in the direction Jiang Ning had just left.

Then, she wrapped the quilt around herself, turning to sleep with her head inward.
