Night had fallen.
Returning to his small courtyard,
Jiang Ning opened his panel.
Skill:
Reading and Writing (Break Limit once 238/2000) (Trait: Unforgettable)
Five Animals Fist (Master 52/200)
"Literacy and Judgent Experience increased by 42 points!"
"I practiced the Five Animals Fist eighteen tis today, apart from the first ti which added one experience point, the subsequent seventeen practices each added two points of experience, totaling an increase of 35 points for the day, not bad at all!"
Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.
Although he had lost the assistance of Wild Ginseng today, reducing the number of tis he could maximally practice his boxing by about ten tis,
the understanding he had gained from the Tiger Form Boxing's blend of hardness within softness, and softness within hardness,
ant that with each practice of the boxing technique, the Five Animals Fist would gain two experience points.
Thus, the speed of his skill experience growth did not diminish but instead increased, boosting the efficiency unexpectedly.
With such efficiency, he was quite content.
By his calculation, at this rate, he wouldn't need a week for his Five Animals Fist to Break Limit through the realm of small success.
By then, given his current progress, the Qi-Blood he had accumulated would be sufficient to reach the small success realm and flow through an arm with ease,
and the efficiency of condensing Qi-Blood would increase once more.
...
The next day, as soon as Jiang Ning woke up, the first thing he did was to open his panel.
Source Energy: 6.4
"As expected, the acquisition points have lessened! Yesterday, it increased by 0.6 Source Energy, but today only 0.4."
"It seems that supplents like Wild Ginseng really are a big help to ."
Thinking this, Jiang Ning slightly shook his head: "Forget it, I'll put it off for now! A piece of Wild Ginseng is worth more than ten taels of silver, where am I going to find so much silver now! Plus, I haven't seen my fellow disciple Zhou Xing these past few days, so I don't even know the exact value of a piece of Wild Ginseng."
At this mont, when Jiang Ning thought of Zhou Xing, another figure ca to mind, the Sister Li Qing he had seen on his first day at the martial arts hall.
"I haven't seen Sister Li Qing these past few days either, I wonder what she's been up to?"
...
In a blink of an eye, another day had passed.
Yesterday was an ordinary day for Jiang Ning.
He took advantage of the morning sunrise, seizing the ti to practice the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill and perford the Big Sun Breathing Technique facing the rising sun.
After a session of breathing exercises, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill gained another 12 points of experience, one point less than the day before.
Jiang Ning suspected it was because he had absorbed less of the heavenly and earthly energy.
Other than that, his entire day was spent practicing boxing, reading, and gaining experience by chopping wood.
It was mundane, but Jiang Ning never tired of it.
Watching each point of experience on his skill ter inch closer to his goals filled him with satisfaction,
especially feeling the Qi-Blood condensing with each practice of the boxing technique, making his body stronger and bringing him ntal and physical pleasure.
Thus, his experience in these two skills had grown considerably by the end of the day.
Skill:
Reading and Writing (Break Limit once 322/2000)
Five Animals Fist (Master 90/200)
Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Not Yet Entered 25/100)
In one day's ti, Reading and Writing had gone from 238 points to 322 points, totaling an 84-point increase in experience.
The Five Animals Fist had also increased from 52 points to 90 points, almost reaching halfway to the realm of small success.
"Yesterday I added 38 points of experience to my boxing technique. At this rate, it will take another three days. Three days from now, my boxing will be able to reach the realm of small success, and my Qi-Blood will be more than sufficient to flow through an entire arm, achieving the realm of Qi-Blood small success!!"
"The efficiency is really impressive! It was the right move asking Wang Jin for the essence of reaching the Five Animals Fist small success!"
"If I hadn't grasped the essence of Tiger Form Boxing, the blend of softness and strength, how could I have such efficiency?"
Jiang Ning's fighting spirit soared instantly.
After getting up and finishing his morning routine,
he sat cross-legged in the courtyard, quietly waiting for the big sun to rise.
For the day, it was only during the short twenty breaths of ti that he could use the breathing and exhaling thod from the Inner Elixir Cultivation to gain experience with the cultivation technique.
Naturally, he wouldn't waste the opportunity each day brought.
Monts later, as the sun rose, Jiang Ning promptly began the breathing and exhaling thod of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.
Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP 2
Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP 2
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP 1]
...
Task completed.
[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation (Uninitiated 40/100)
"Almost over half now!"
Jiang Ning glanced at his panel and hurriedly went towards the outhouse.
Since the first day, after completing his morning breathing and exhaling exercises, he always went to the outhouse.
Jiang Ning felt this was detoxification.
These past few days, every day he felt his internal organs becoming lighter and his energy levels more abundant, which greatly aided his boxing practice.
His physical strength seed to recover even faster too!
Clearly, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, even though not yet mastered, was already having an effect on him.
After leaving the outhouse, he took a short rest and then headed straight for the small courtyard of the kitchen.
Yesterday, he spent the entire day practicing his boxing and reading, and didn't split any firewood; naturally, he couldn't be lazy today.
"Moreover, today is the mont my Chopping Wood Blade Skill achieves Perfection!"
[Skill]: Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Great Success 633/1000)
Seeing the progress of the Chopping Wood Blade Skill on the panel, Jiang Ning's steps quickened.
He originally planned to grind the Chopping Wood Blade Skill to Perfection in one go yesterday.
But at that ti, Aunt Sun told him that because he had been working too hard, there was too much chopped firewood, and they couldn't use it all at once!
He was told to co back and chop wood the next day.
It was precisely for this reason he waited until today to prepare to grind his skill in the Chopping Wood Blade Skill to Perfection.
A mont later.
Jiang Ning arrived at the back courtyard of the kitchen.
By this ti, the morning sun had already risen.
In the blistering heat of mid-July, with the big sun shining upon the world, Jiang Ning could feel the breeze starting to carry the heat.
"This damn weather, hasn't there been a drop of rain in two months?"
Jiang Ning's tone was sowhat doubtful as he murmuted, then recalled briefly.
"It has been two months!"
"Looking at this situation, this year's crop yield probably won't be good!"
"Forget it! What's that got to do with ?"
Jiang Ning shook his head, casting out the miscellaneous thoughts from his mind.
Then he grabbed the axe that was a full five pounds in weight.
"I'd better just focus on grinding my experience value!"
As the thought passed through his mind, the axe in his hand also fell.
Whoosh—
The sound of the axe blade cutting air.
Thud—
The axe fell, and the thick log standing on the stump split in two.
[Chopping Wood Blade Skill EXP 1]
"Heh, it's really gotten simpler!"
...
After a while.
Jiang Ning wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead.
Even with his current physical strength, chopping several hundred logs continuously still inevitably made him feel fatigued.
[Skill]: Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Great Success 990/1000)
"Only ten logs left!"
Looking at the progress display on the panel, his body, which was originally sowhat weary, was instantly filled with energy again.
[Chopping Wood Blade Skill EXP 1]
[Chopping Wood Blade Skill EXP 1]
[...]
In front of his current efficiency, in the blink of an eye, ten experience points were acquired.
[Skill]: Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Great Success 999/1000)
When the prompt for the last point of experience value increase appeared before him.
The panel, in this section, suddenly underwent a change.
