Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint Chapter 357: 59: Break Limit, Water and Fire Immortal Clothe

Chapter 357: Chapter 59: Break Limit, Water and Fire Immortal Clothes!_2

A dragon steed, towering ten feet tall, approached through the snow.

Its hooves moved swiftly, each lift stirring up a flurry of snowflakes.

Astride the horse, a distinguished young man clad in a thin white robe, with a handso face and piercing eyes, sat poised.

In front of this young man, the extre cold of the outside world seed trivial.

Even as the howling wind penetrated his white robe, his brow remained uncreased.

“Luoshui County! We’re here!” the young man slightly lifted his head and saw the three characters above the city gate not far away.

At the sa ti,

The sound of the hooves quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers on guard in the chilling wind.

The mont they saw the white-robed figure on the dragon steed, the soldiers on the city wall imdiately grew solemn.

Whether it was traveling in snowy weather or the fact that the man rode a dragon steed as tall as ten feet, both were enough to prove the extraordinary status of the visitor.

Monts later,

The young man’s right hand grasped a long spear, and his left hand held the dragon steed’s reins.

He——

Amid the dragon steed’s neighing, a series of dull dragon chants emitted.

On the other side,

The newly appeared adjutant on the city wall narrowed his eyes.

“Pureblood dragon steed!”

“Sir, is a pureblood dragon steed very precious?” asked a captain standing nearby.

“Very precious! A pureblood dragon steed is worth a hundred gold! And that’s not just a figure of speech!” the adjutant replied.

“Hiss——” Hearing this, the nearby captain imdiately drew in a breath of cold air.

A hundred gold equates to a hundred taels of gold.

If converted to silver tael, that ant the dragon steed was worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Then, the captain continued, “That ans the visitor is no ordinary person!”

“Definitely not ordinary!” said the adjutant, “Being able to travel in this heavy snow and dressed so lightly, how could he be ordinary! He must be a master!”

Just then,

The young man called out loudly, “Open the city gate!”

His voice bood like thunder, instantly carrying across the snowy ground.

“My hero! It is not yet ti to open the gate; please wait outside for another half an hour!” the city wall’s adjutant imdiately leaned out and called loudly.

“Again, open the gate!” the man outside the city spoke again, adding, “I am the second son of the Qinghe Marquis!”

Upon hearing this, the adjutant on the city wall was instantly shaken.

“Open the city gate!” he imdiately turned and called out loudly.

“Sir…”

“Open the city gate!” Before the person behind him could finish, the adjutant cut him off.

Following this order,

In less than an instant,

Boom——

With a shake of the city gate, it began to slowly swing open to both sides.

As the city gate opened, the snow around it rustled down.

Once a ten-foot-wide gap appeared,

“Drive——”

The man outside, riding the dragon steed, pulled on the reins, and the steed instantly moved its four hooves to charge into the city.

“Go safely, Second Young Master!” the adjutant stood at the gate, his face brimming with a smile as he spoke.

The man did not speak, nor did he look back as he entered the city.

Monts later,

Only when the man was a distance away did the adjutant finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the captain next to him imdiately spoke,

“Sir, without verifying his identity, you broke the rules by letting him enter the city. Aren’t you afraid of the Commander’s bla?”

“You know nothing!” the adjutant glared fiercely at the captain beside him, “Being blad by the Commander is much better than losing one’s life!”

Then he added, “Didn’t you hear the identity the man just declared? He is the second son of the Qinghe Marquis’ family, rumored to be an unbeatable existence among Sixth Ranks.”

“His presence at the city gate today, clearly making an urgent journey overnight, must be in relation to the death of his brother, He Jinyun.”

“In such a case, do you dare block his entry into the city, believing he won’t erupt in anger, storming the city walls to slay us?”

“For the likes of us, just based on the identity of the Marquis’ second son, even in death we would be insignificant!”

“Do you understand??”

Hearing this stern shout, the captain beside him shuddered and nodded repeatedly.

Understood!

…

On the other side,

At this mont, Jiang Ning was unaware that the Qinghe Marquis’ second son had already arrived in Luoshui County.

He continued to operate his strength indoors, constantly bolstering his Water and Fire True Strength.

In a blink,

It was already afternoon.

…

Inspection Office.

“Turns out it’s the second son himself who has co!” Hong Minghu stepped into the hall and saw an extraordinary, upright young man.

“I greet the Residence Master!” The young man stood up and slightly clasped his hands.

“No need for such formality, Second Son, please, take a seat,” offered Hong Minghu with a wave of his hand.

Facing the Qinghe Marquis’s second son, even he dared not take things lightly.

Because though the Second Son held no official position now, he was distinguished by his academic honors.

He had secured the title of a successful martial candidate last year.

If he chose to join the military, he could easily start as a Capital Commandant.

Even leveraging the Qinghe Marquis Mansion’s connections, he might have the chance to reach a Secondary Fourth-Rank military advisor.

Although a Secondary Fourth-Rank military advisor might be a nominal position, it was still a Fourth Grade official.

And having such an office in Dongling County would make him the highest official.

Therefore, Hong Minghu did not dare neglect this second son who had traveled from afar of the Qinghe Marquis Family.

Simply based on the achievents the Second Son had earned alone, he was worthy of respectful treatnt.

Not to ntion the identity of Qinghe Marquis’s Second Son.

…

After they sat down,

The young man spoke, “Master Hong, do you have any leads on the death of my fifth brother?”

“I’ve had Ye Qiu and the commander look into this matter. How about I call him here to let the Second Son ask about it?” Hong Minghu said.

“Good!” The young man nodded, his expression calm.

…

Elsewhere.

[Source Energy]: 623.17

[Skill]: Water and Fire True Strength (Perfection 1000/1000)

Staring at the display on the panel, Jiang Ning felt extrely pleased.

Through his strenuous training these past days, his skill, Water and Fire True Strength, had finally t the requirents for the first Break Limit.

The plus sign on the panel also proved that this skill had indeed fulfilled all the needs to Break Limit.

Whenever he wished, he could allow Water and Fire True Strength to Break Limit.

The next mont.

With a thought from Jiang Ning,

The Source Energy Points on the panel plumted.

Imdiately afterward, he felt half of his body subrged in water and the other half enveloped in fire.

The two extre forces seed harmonious at this mont.

And his body seed to beco the transition point in between.

His body alternated between chill and searing heat.

After so ti, all sensations faded.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes and first looked at his panel.

[Source Energy]: 523.17

“Indeed, the requirent for Breaking Limit in superior martial arts has no difference compared to lower-level and middle-grade martial arts! The first Break Limit costs one hundred Source Energy Points.”

He then looked further below.

[Skill]: Water and Fire True Strength (First Break Limit 0/2000) (Trait: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes)

[Water and Fire Immortal Clothes]: Possessing the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, able to avoid water and fire, fearless of them.

“Is this the effect?”

Jiang Ning looked at the description on the panel and his gaze sharpened.

He had thought that after Breaking Limit, Water and Fire True Strength would augnt traits beneficial to offensive power.

But this trait seed unquestionably a form of self-defense.

Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, fearing neither water nor fire.

The effect of this trait was quite clear, as the words suggested.

“I wonder if this fearlessness of water and fire has an upper temperature limit?” Jiang Ning murmured, thinking of the high temperatures of the sun.

That’s also fire.

Up to 15 million degrees Celsius.

“There must be a limit, it couldn’t possibly cope!” Considering the temperature at the core of the sun, Jiang Ning shook his head inwardly.

That temperature was just too exaggerated.

If it could resist such flas of that temperature, it would be far too exaggerated.

After checking the panel, Jiang Ning imdiately closed it.

Then, he closed his eyes and circulated the Water and Fire True Strength, calmly feeling it flowing through his body.

A few breaths later, he opened his eyes.

“Not a bad deal, Water and Fire True Strength enhanced by more than double after the Break Limit, which will surely augnt my offensive capabilities.”

“Now I just need to know, how effective is this trait of fearing neither water nor fire!”

With this thought, Jiang Ning lowered his head to look at the charcoal brazier in the room.

The black charcoal was burning well, filled with a red glow, and flas were rising.

“Let’s try it out!” Jiang Ning looked at the lively burning charcoal, muttering to himself inwardly.
