Chapter 492: Chapter 118: Fifth Grade True Understanding, One Million Silver Taels! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!)
Internal Affairs Office.
In the courtyard.
Jiang Ning flipped through the token in his hand and found that it was not much different from the previous one.
It was only that the two characters on the front of the token had changed from the original “Secondary Eighth-Rank” to “Eighth Grade.”
This also ant that his official title had risen from Secondary Eighth-Rank to Standard Eighth Grade.
After storing away the token, Jiang Ning once again clasped his hands and spoke.
“Senior, I would like to exchange for detailed information about the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm and martial skills related to Inner Breath,” he said.
“I just knew it!” The old woman’s expression showed understanding.
A booklet suddenly appeared in her hands.
In the sunlight, the few characters on the booklet were very clear to Jiang Ning.
“Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm Detailed Explanation.”
“This item is Martial Saint’s sorted transcript about the Fifth Grade Internal Strength, enough to solve your confusion about the fifth grade.”
“Normally, it would require a thousand of Contribution Points, but today I’ll give it to you!”
With these words, the booklet fell into Jiang Ning’s hands.
Then, the old woman looked at Jiang Ning and continued, “As for the martial arts of Inner Breath you ntioned, there is no such martial art of Inner Breath. Inner Breath is Inner Breath, a kind of transcendent power, similar to the True Qi of those from the Ancient Tis who embarked on the path of immortality.”
“So martial artists might have unique thods of circulation.”
“This pertains to the category of skill, not martial arts.”
“In this respect, there is a record of such a skill in the three pages of explanations you have in hand.”
Upon hearing this,
Jiang Ning could no longer contain his desire to explore the unknown and quickly flipped through the booklet in his hand.

As he browsed, the experience value for his Reading and Writing skill continued to rise.
Despite being a re three-page booklet, Jiang Ning studied it earnestly for a good tea ti.
Reaching the end, he slowly shifted his gaze away from the booklet.
[After browsing the book, Literacy and Judgent Experience increased by 369 points.]
[Skill]: Reading and Writing (Five-tis Break Limit 838/6000) (Trait: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension, Heavenly Vision)
He glanced at his panel, and after this period of accumulation, the experience value for the Reading and Writing skill had reached 838 points.
The growth in experience from this brief mont today was the most noticeable.
He closed the panel and began to recall the records of the three-page booklet in his mind.
According to the “Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm Detailed Explanation,”
at this fifth-grade level,
the initial stage involves practicing the Inner Strength thod to enhance the functionality of the five viscera and six bowels.
At this stage, the martial artist’s endurance in battle begins to increase, as does the ability to hold breath underwater, and the bodily functions beco more vigorous.
Only when the viscera are strengthened to a certain level, to achieve preliminary control over the body and unravel human restrictions, thereby releasing the potential hidden within,
can one truly be considered to have stepped into the fifth grade.
And thus exhibit traits distinctly different from the Sixth Rank.
The next step is to condense Inner Breath.
When Inner Breath reaches from the ethereal to the substantial state, able to erupt out of the body, that is the second stage.
At this stage, the extension of Inner Breath weakens precipitously with distance.
The third stage is when Inner Breath is transford, condensed into Gang.
Reaching this step, where Inner Breath condenses without dispersing, even if it exits the body by several ters, it can cut tal and jade, with a significantly slowed rate of decay in its might.
From then on, in terms of the quality of Inner Breath, it has reached its limit.
One can only continue by accumulating quantity.
This accumulation is key as the older one grows in the Inner Strength Realm, the stronger one becos.
For martial artists who reach this point, their peak physical abilities can greatly increase, maintaining their golden years for a longer period.
However, as they age, they will still gradually enter a period of decline in Qi-Blood and physical functions.
But Inner Breath is not affected and will only beco more formidable with age.
From the initial Inner Breath like mist, then converging into a stream,
to Inner Breath like a river,
Inner Breath like a river,
Inner Breath like a sea,
Inner Breath like an abyss,
Inner Breath like a prison.
Each level signifies a change in the accumulated quantity.
Determining the extent of the accumulated quantity is simple; it is different external phenona displayed in the Dantian.
Just like the phenonon currently in his Dantian,
where Inner Breath transforms intermittently into a mighty torrent.
This indicates the level of Inner Breath like a river.
From this booklet, Jiang Ning also understood what constituted the peak of the Fifth Grade.
It’s when the quality of Inner Breath has achieved condensation into Gang, and the five viscera can emit thunderous roars.
In terms of quantity accumulation, it also reaches an astonishing Inner Breath like a sea.
As for the legendary claim that a single breath can slash through a thousand soldiers,
even among the peak of the Fifth Grade, such a figure would be considered legendary.
It is when the accumulation reaches the abyss-like level of Inner Breath
where Inner Breath is vast and unfathomable, too deep to be perceived.
The accumulation has reached a terrifying level,
where just the eruption of Inner Breath alone can suppress ordinary Fifth Grade martial artists.
As for Inner Breath like a prison, that is not achievable by Fifth Grade Martial Artists.
It is only possible for Grandmasters, or those above Grandmasters.
For ordinary fifth graders, limited by their age, could not achieve the state of Inner Breath like a prison even if they accumulated it for a lifeti.
Inner Breath like a prison is also a symbol of the imposing presence of old Grandmasters.
In this mont, the confusion in Jiang Ning’s heart was completely dispelled.
Afterward, he recalled another technique docunted in the booklet.
A skill for the circulation of Inner Breath.
In an instant,
Inner Breath in the Dantian burst forth, turning into thousands of threads that instantly enveloped his entire body.
He was suddenly clad in a seamless coat of Inner Breath.
This coat wrapped around his entire body, providing all-encompassing and angle-proof defense.
