Chapter 707: Chapter 58: Break Limit, Heart Like a Bright Mirror, Grandmaster on the Fourth Floor of the County Prison!
“Yes, we are insignificant people, offending no one, we must be strategically neutral! That Commander Jiang being able to involve Grandmaster Zhao, shows he’s not simple!”
“Indeed!!”
“…”
—————–
County prison, third floor.
Jiang Ning slled the pungent odor in his cell and imdiately raised his hand.
Roar—
The sound of a tiger’s roar echoed.
Fierce flas instantly ignited in the cell, filling the narrow space of six square ters.
This scene, seen by no one.
Because upon arriving at the third floor of the county prison, Jiang Ning noticed that before his arrival, this floor did not hold any serious offenders.
So now, the entire third floor held only him.
Such a quiet environnt suited his heart’s desire.
In his mind, it was rely a change to a quieter place for practice.
Even in the county prison, practice was possible.
With the outbreak of the trapped fire tiger stance, the flas baked his cell, dispelling moisture, and burning away all filth, converting it into toxic gas that perated the air.
A mont later.
He waved his hand.
A gust swept away the burnt remnants and those pungent toxic gases.
That was it.
The cell he occupied instantly transford.
The soil layer dried, free from the recent humidity.
Moreover, the cell beca much tidier, with no trace of the foul stench.
Yet soon, the outside odor invaded the cell.
Once more slling the nauseating, rotting stench akin to decayed fish from a stinking ditch, Jiang Ning furrowed his eyebrows.
“Forget it!” He then shook his head: “It’s just a bit of stench, nothing intolerable!”
He ntally comforted himself, ignoring the odor.
At that mont.
A deeply silent county prison third floor.
Bang bang bang!
Jiang Ning faintly heard the sound of iron locks clashing and scraping.
“The sound is… from the next floor?”
His gaze instantly fixed on the dark iron gate leading to the fourth floor of the county prison.
Compared to the first three floors, the fourth-floor gate was heavier, entirely dark, naturally exuding a heavy aura.
Listening again, the sound of iron locks striking beca more distinct.
“Indeed, soone is there!!”
“Right below, the fourth floor of the county prison!”
Jiang Ning concluded silently, and felt secretly surprised.
As far as he knew.
The fourth floor of the county prison, known as the water prison, bitter prison.
The whole floor used rcury as water, containing toxins, simultaneously using cold iron to pierce shoulders and restrain limbs.
Only thus could a grandmaster be contained.
“Who could it be?” Jiang Ning’s mind flashed with a thought.
After pondering briefly, he shook his head.
His understanding of Dongling County was limited and superficial, utterly unable to guess the identity of the imprisoned individual.
At this mont.
As no movent was made.
The fourth floor of the county prison below returned to silence.
Evidently, the mysterious grandmaster ceased struggling.
“It seems my tiger stance eruption’s disturbance made him choose to make noise, perhaps waiting for soone to rescue?”
Feeling the change below, another idle thought and speculation arose in Jiang Ning’s mind.
Upon this thought.
Jiang Ning placed his index and middle fingers on his brow, closed both eyes, and gently stroked.
Instantly.
A white vertical line appeared on his brow, bright white brilliance spilling from it, as if ready to open at any mont.
Completing the Heavenly Eye ritual, he slightly bowed his head, his gaze piercing through the ground beneath him.
He imdiately saw that below his cell was a thick steel plate.
Clearly, the entire cell had steel plate casting rather than just a few fine iron bars making up the cell.
Without steel casting, ordinary soil layers couldn’t trap even slightly strong martial artists.
The powerful physique of martial artists could bore through soil with bare hands, carving a passage out.
Soon after.
His gaze penetrated the hidden thick steel plate beneath him, reaching the county prison’s fourth floor.
He also saw, in the rcury pool below, six cold iron shackles restraining a broad-shouldered, burly man.
Four cold irons bound limbs, the remaining two pierced through his shoulder blades.
rcury subrged the burly man’s waist.
The lighting on the fourth level is no longer torches but a few fist-sized peculiar stones embedded above, emitting a pale white glow.
“How cruel!!”
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
This thod of confinent is not just a physical tornt, but also a spiritual one.
This is tantamount to locking soone in a small dark room.
For an ordinary person, it wouldn’t take long to beco ntally deranged, confused, let alone anything else.
“Truly cruel!” he exclaid once more.
He then withdrew his gaze.
Even with the Heavenly Eye activated, he still couldn’t recognize which Grandmaster was below.
“Forget it! This matter has nothing to do with , I can’t be bothered to pay attention anymore!”
Jiang Ning no longer focused his thoughts on this issue.
Instead, he looked at his own panel.
[Source Energy]: 11198
[Skill]: Reading and Writing (Eight tis broken limit 9000/9000) (Traits: unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension, Heavenly Eye (First Breakthrough), Sixth Sense Transcendent, Unity of Knowledge and Action)
Currently, Source Energy Points still have over eleven thousand points, directly increasing by more than a hundred points compared to three days ago.
The main source of this increase was the Emperor’s Liquid diluted and absorbed from his drinking with Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu two days ago.
“If Source Energy Points aren’t enough, the Emperor’s Liquid in that jug can bring quite a few points!”
As a stray thought flashed in his mind, his gaze locked onto the skill of Reading and Writing.
This skill has now reached eight tis broken limit, and the experience value is full.
Now, whether it is Source Energy Points or experience value, they fully et his requirents for breaking the limit.
Having fallen to this point, he beca deeply aware of the importance of status and strength.
If it were Zhao Yulong in his place.
Xiao Qiuyue’s death would be a trivial matter, how could it possibly get him imprisoned in the third level of the county prison.
The so-called rules are only rules for the weak.
Just like the Heavenly Son breaking the law is subject to the sa punishnt as a commoner.
Honestly believing such slogans would be foolish.
Afterward.
His stray thoughts dissipated from his mind, and with a thought.
In an instant.
Source Energy Points decreased like a waterfall.
Eight to nine, this is also his first ti breaking from eight to nine.
[Source Energy]: 6198 (11198→6198)
A glance at the panel, he closed his eyes, stimulated by the surge of Pure Spirit Energy into his mind.
His brain instantly beca clear and ethereal, without joy or sorrow, with no ripples in his heart.
At this mont, the seven emotions and six desires vanished, cold as if he were a machine.
His entire being also returned to an incredibly pure rationality.
In this state, he could clearly feel his brain absorbing those Pure Spirit Energy, and his spiritual power was rapidly growing.
After a long ti.
He slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, a silver glow flashed by.
“Was that just now…” Jiang Ning ca to his senses, his face imdiately showing a look of confusion.
Then he looked at his own panel.
[Skill]: Reading and Writing (Nine tis broken limit 2/10000) (Traits: unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension, Heavenly Eye (First Breakthrough), Sixth Sense Transcendent, Unity of Knowledge and Action, Heart Like a Bright Mirror)
[Heart Like a Bright Mirror]: A bright mirror is not a stand, where does the dust settle. My heart is like a bright mirror, undisturbed by stray thoughts, unconstrained by confusion, as the years pass quickly, yet my heart is like a bright mirror.
“A bright mirror is not a stand, where does the dust settle.” Staring at his panel, Jiang Ning murmured to himself.
Then, looking at the analysis above, he seed to have an epiphany.
In one’s life, the longer one lives, the more stray thoughts and troubles accumulate in the heart.
Stray thoughts and troubles are like threads.
Constantly intertwined and accumulated in the mind, gradually making the brain less efficient than before.
Just like a mirror, over ti, the mirror surface is gradually covered with dust, no longer as bright as it was, able to reflect oneself.
Just like a blank sheet of paper, initially leaving very simple inscriptions on it.
But as the inscriptions increase, it becos more difficult to leave new marks, only able to find space where there is none.
In his understanding, this is also why during student years, everyone’s mory is at its peak.
Because at that ti, the brain is blank, without too much accumulated mory.
As age increases and experiences accumulate, the brain accumulates too much mory and impurities.
The brain can no longer be as efficient as it once was.
“Heart Like a Bright Mirror, it should count as a good trait!”
He nodded slightly, and his gaze moved downward.
[Source Energy]: 6198
“Spending five thousand Source Energy Points at once is really excessive!”
“According to the pattern, the next Reading and Writing limit-break, nine to ten, will require ten thousand points.”
“I wonder if there will be any additional changes from nine to ten?”
“Forget it!”
He then shook his head, no longer having such thoughts.
Ten thousand Source Energy Points is too excessive; he can’t bear it for now.
