Chapter 349: Chapter 55: The Powerful Effect of Hundred Spirit Blood!_2

This rate of growth was extremely exaggerated in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

He had to acknowledge that his current level of Qi-Blood Power had reached the level that resembled a river.

This level typically belonged to a Martial Arts Sixth Grade, Bone Forging second step, Xuan Bone Realm Martial Artist who possessed that total amount of Qi-Blood.

Bone Forging at the Sixth Rank comprised three steps, each more difficult and offering more enhancement than the last.

With every complete transformation of the bones, there was an ensuing, further transformation of the tendons, skin, and flesh, which could also be called a sublimation.

Therefore, the difference in strength between each step for a Martial Arts Sixth Grade Martial Artist was even more significant than before reaching the Sixth Rank.

And the gaps between each subsequent level would grow even larger.

The total amount of Qi-Blood for a Second Step Bone Forging, a Xuan Bone Realm Martial Artist, was double that of the First Step, Qi-Blood like a river.

From this, one could see just how terrifying a river-like quantity of Qi-Blood was.

He had already reached this level of Qi-Blood, and now, with twelve drops of Hundred Spirit Blood entering his body, he managed to increase his total Qi-Blood by over twenty percent in just half an hour.

Such a substantial increase made Jiang Ning experience the powerful effects of the Hundred Spirit Blood once again.

“Truly worthy of being a treasure needed to step into Grandmasterhood!” Jiang Ning exclaimed in admiration once more.

Then, he glanced at the panel.

[Skill]:

Reading and Writing (Four Times Break Limit 3/5000) (Trait: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension)

Five Animals Fist (One Time Break Limit 787/2000) (Trait: Five Internal Organs Store Essence)

Wind Thunder Arrow Skill (Three Times Break Limit 49/4000) (Trait: Wind and Thunder Breath, Arrow of the Heart, Arrows of Wind and Thunder)

Water and Fire True Strength (Small Success 54/500)

…

Only these four skills remained in his eyes.

While his body was digesting the Hundred Spirit Blood, he didn’t need to take any action.

So Jiang Ning immediately focused on his panel.

While digesting the Hundred Spirit Blood, he could choose a skill to level up.

Having absorbed the Hundred Spirit Blood today, he could imagine the explosion of Source Energy Points he would face tomorrow.

And breaking the limit of skills was where he could see the clearest strength improvement.

He examined each of these four skills in turn,

and then Jiang Ning fell into deep contemplation.

He had just completed four Break Limits for Reading and Writing, and breaking the limits of this skill had greatly advanced him–his spiritual power had broken through to cover a hundred meters around him in a Spiritual Field.

Such a potent effect had left him extremely satisfied.

However, it was currently difficult to level up this skill.

Because nearly all the books he could read, he had already read them.

Reading a book twice had no effect.

Moreover, randomly rearranged book texts did not bring any Experience Value increase, a point he had tested before.

After thinking it over, he temporarily gave up on increasing the Experience Value of this skill.

His gaze then fell on Five Animals Fist, Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, and Water and Fire True Strength.

After pondering for a moment,

he decided to start leveling up Water and Fire True Strength later.

Because Water and Fire True Strength was a superior martial arts technique.

It was his only superior martial arts technique.

Based on his previous experience, breaking the limits of superior martial arts would surely bring even more powerful effects.

Much like Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, the improvement of this Middle Grade martial arts technique had greatly enhanced his ranged combat capabilities.

If it wasn’t for his mastery of Sword Force, a peak level sword technique that converged Essence Qi and spirits into a single strike, then the three-times Break Limit Wind Thunder Arrow Skill would have been his strongest technique.

With this arrow technique, he would typically be able to fight beyond his realm.

Especially with a suitable battleground, a three-times Break Limit Wind Thunder Arrow Skill would allow him to kill any Martial Arts Sixth Grade Martial Artist with his Martial Arts Seventh Grade strength.

This was the powerful effect brought about by continuous Break Limits in Middle Grade martial arts.

That night, he had pierced through the Bone Forging Sixth Grade Martial Artist from the God Worship Sect with a single arrow.

Had the Sixth Grade Xuan Bone Martial Artist not been a member of the God Worship Sect, possessing the ability to transform into a monster with an almost deathless body, that arrow would have been enough to kill the Sixth Grade Martial Artist on the spot.

For an ordinary Sixth Grade Martial Artist, vital points of the body were still crucial.

A pierced heart was an injury not even gods could heal.

They at most could last a few more breaths than ordinary people. Beyond that, they had no ability to struggle.

At that time, the Sixth Grade Xuan Bone Martial Artist relied on the God Worship Sect’s special ability to transform into a monster shape and possessed an undead body to survive.

Jiang Ning was very clear about how terrifying such a monstrous state could be, with Shi Xiaoyuan serving as a cautionary tale.

Once transformed, the combat strength during the maintenance of a monstrous state of mutated flesh could explode by several times in a short period.

Not only nearly unlimited flesh would be on their body, but they would also have no deadly points at all.

Even speed, strength, and explosive power would all receive a great enhancement.

Whenever one transformed, they would possess strength not just one level higher.

Thus, the fact that he could kill such an enhanced state with a single strike of sword force also demonstrated the increase brought about by breaking limits.

A mere Chopping Wood Blade Skill, after five break limits, the inherent effect had also become so formidable.

Therefore, Jiang Ning had reason to believe that, as a superior martial art, Water and Fire True Strength would only have more pronounced effects.

“I hope tomorrow’s Source Energy Points will let me indulge!” Jiang Ning glanced at the Source Energy Points on his panel, murmuring in his heart.

[Source Energy]: 241.31

…

Sitting cross-legged in the cold wind,

Jiang Ning’s Water and Fire True Strength in his body suddenly surged.

According to what Feng Jiuge had said before, Water and Fire True Strength was derived from an Ancient Times cultivation technique known as Water and Fire Treasure Book.

At that time, Feng Jiuge had also said that if Nine Layers of Strength and Nine Refining Fire were merged into one, it would result in mastering a superior martial art, which was Water and Fire True Strength.

If one could deduce the profound mysteries of Water and Fire Treasure Book from Water and Fire True Strength, they would grasp a truth that leads directly to the grand gateway of Grandmasters.

“Truth?” At this thought, Jiang Ning murmured.

He had not heard this term before.

He had only heard it from Feng Jiuge.

“I wonder if I can comprehend the truth she spoke of if I continue to break limits with Water and Fire True Strength?”

Casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Jiang Ning immediately began to push the two extreme forces of water and fire inside his body.

Water and fire do not mix, but now these two opposing forces were strangely harmonious in his body, forming a vortex and rotating like a grinding mill.

With each rotation, Jiang Ning could feel the Qi Blood Power being continuously consumed.

At the same time, the strength of Water and Fire True Strength was also growing bit by bit.

[Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value +2]

[Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value +3]

[Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value +2]

[…]

As he continued to enhance Water and Fire True Strength, Jiang Ning also seemed to have some enlightenment, with occasional flashes of inspiration in his mind.

At the same time, the prompts that flashed before him,

were no longer the kind that only increased by one point of experience value each time.

Instead, they had become random fluctuations of two or three points, with the three-point experience value prompts not being any less frequent than those of two points.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed.

[Skill]: Water and Fire True Strength (small success 89/500)

Jiang Ning glanced at his panel, and his brows furrowed slightly.

“It’s a bit slow,” he sighed softly.

He remembered that more than two hours ago, the skill of Water and Fire True Strength had already accumulated 54 points of experience value.

Now it had only reached 89 points, which meant that in a little over two hours, the skill had grown by less than forty points of experience value.

Jiang Ning shook his head.

Then he felt inside his body again.

The Qi Blood Power brought by the Hundred Spirit Blood was surging and explosive, and had already become calm.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning began to mobilize the Qi Blood around his body.

Boom–

The Qi Blood Power surged, suddenly like a mighty river, with a majestic momentum, roaring in his body.

“The Qi Blood Power has grown by more than fifty percent!” A trace of joy immediately appeared between Jiang Ning’s eyebrows.

Although a fifty percent increase seemed only three percent greater than the initial twenty percent,

Jiang Ning was not disappointed at all.

Because after his recent realization, he had discovered that after consuming Hundred Spirit Blood, the growth of Qi Blood Power was like an erupting volcano.

At the beginning, the eruption was at its most potent.

As it progressed, the momentum weakened.

Therefore, he was not the slightest bit disappointed with a fifty percent increase, but rather extremely delighted.

Because a fifty percent increase in Qi Blood Power in a short span of time was equivalent to at least half a month of his usual hard training.

It must be understood that he had reached this point in less than half a year.

Half a month was incredibly precious to him.

Especially under the current circumstances, with He Jinyun’s death, this became even more precious.

With the powerful effect of Hundred Spirit Blood, he could match half a month of regular hard training in less than two hours.

This made him very satisfied.

After that, seizing the moment, he opened the Golden Box again to consume Hundred Spirit Blood.
