Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

early morning.

The dawn light shines on the ancient city walls.

Jiang Ning's figure was stretched out at the city gate.

"I'm finally back!" Jiang Ning sighed when he saw the three big characters "Dongling City" engraved on the main gate of the city wall.

On the way back, he followed the same route he took. Although he was familiar with the journey, he was still very tired because he was in a hurry.

Especially the continuous water escape techniques, which drained him dry over and over again, making him feel like he was becoming weak.

However, returning safely without delaying those important things made him feel that his efforts were worthwhile.

Although I didn't gain as much as I had imagined from this trip, I still gained something.

More importantly, it allowed him to get in touch with some secrets of ancient times.

The records from ancient times are not fictional, but real ancient history.

True Dragon Hall and Dragon Pond.

And the different dimension where the True Dragon Palace is located.

Also, when he came out of the True Dragon Palace, the change in space made him appear not in the pool of water, but in an unknown valley basin.

The magic of this method can be seen from a few examples.

It allowed him to see the extraordinary aspects of that era.

This is enough to prove that that era was perhaps more exciting than this one.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Ning raised his legs and walked towards the city gate.

"Sir, you're back!!!"

The moment Lu Yi pushed open the door of the mansion and saw Jiang Ning, her eyes suddenly became bright and joy appeared in her eyes again.

"Yeah!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Then Jiang Ning raised his leg and stepped over the threshold.

Behind him, Lu Yi quickly closed the door and followed.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!" Lu Yi nodded quickly.

"That's good!" Jiang Ning smiled immediately after hearing that.

After traveling back and forth for several days, he went out to find the True Dragon Palace according to the guidance of the jade tablet.

He had no idea what was going on, had no rest or sleep, and hadn't eaten anything either.

The stomach is empty, and although the body can withstand it, it's not a big deal.

But decades of eating the same three meals a day have made him accustomed to the pleasure of tasting food.

Eating is not just about survival, it is also about the enjoyment of tasting delicious food.

Born in a country where food is the most important thing for the people in his previous life, his genes have long been ignited to this kind of enjoyment.

After a while.

Jiang Ning took a big bite of the meat bun, then ate a piece of salted duck and took a sip of wine.

An expression of pleasure suddenly appeared on his face.

"Oh, right!" Jiang Ning started, and then continued, "Xie Xiaojiu, have you heard anything about Senior Brother Zhou Xing and Feng Jiuge?"

"Yes! A little bit!" Lu Yi nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Zhou Xing arrived in Dongling City yesterday afternoon and paid me a visit. He also left me a message, asking me to inform him if he returns. He is staying in an inn not far away."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Then he said, "Then go tell him! I'm back!"

"Yes, sir!" Lu Yi replied with her head down.

Then she turned and left.

With Luyi's departure, Jiangning ate and drank alone at the dining table.

After a while.

There was another noise at the door.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw Liu Wanwan walking towards the house with a large bowl of noodles in her hand.

The hot steam rose up and hit the beams of the house.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Jiang Ning stood up.

Liu Wanwan smiled and said, "I just heard you come back. I knew you must be starving after being away from home, so I made a bowl of noodles for you!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Jiang Ning was moved and nodded and took it.

"Okay, Aning, you eat first! I'll go get something else!" Liu Wanwan said.

"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law!" Jiang Ning said.

Subsequently.

Watching Liu Wanwan leaving, Jiang Ning looked down at the big bowl of noodles again.

The noodles are piled high with braised beef and topped with two fried eggs. Finely chopped green onions are sprinkled on the snow-white noodles to garnish them.

Just by smelling the fragrance, he couldn't help but feel hungry.

Liu Wanwan is an excellent cook, especially her noodles.

He brought the noodles back to the table and started eating.

After a cup of tea.

Tread-tap-

Footsteps came from the direction of the door.

Could it be that my sister-in-law is here again?
Thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

At this moment, the big bowl of noodles in front of him had been eaten up by him, leaving only some soup.

He also finished the big bowl of braised beef in soy sauce that Liu Wanwan had just brought him.

He looked up in the direction of the door.

next moment.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

A man in a white crane robe appeared in his sight.

The person who came was Zhou Xing, who had been away for a long time.

"Senior Brother Zhou Xing, please take a seat quickly!" Jiang Ning smiled.

When Zhou Xing saw Jiang Ning, he quickly took a few quick steps and came in front of Jiang Ning.

"Greetings, sir!" He bowed.

"Brother, there is no need to be so formal!" Jiang Ning spoke, and as he raised his hand, his true energy condensed from virtual to real, and he supported Zhou Xing and bowed to him.

"Thank you, sir!" Zhou Xing began to express his gratitude.

At this moment, he was secretly excited and a little nervous.

He received a letter from Jiangning. After reading it, he could hardly believe his eyes.

A sixth-rank patrol envoy, this was a big shot that he had never imagined before.

However, the letter recorded that Jiang Ning was about to take on such an important position.

Jiang Ning also needed his help and granted him a seventh-rank official position.

This was like pie in the sky, and he couldn't believe it at all at the time.

But he also knew that Jiang Ning had no reason to lie to him.

After a brief thought, he rode at full speed to Dongling City alone.

This was his greatest opportunity to lead the Zhou family to prosperity. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was prepared to seize it with all his strength.

"Brother Zhou Xing, do you know the whole story?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Got it!" Zhou Xing bowed and said, "My lord, if you need me for anything, just ask me. No matter who the target is in the future, the knife in my hand will not waver in the slightest."

Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile in his heart.

He really likes smart people like Zhou Xing.

He is about to open his own government.

The people in the palace must be loyal to him and obey his orders.

He is not used to it with outsiders, and people's hearts are hidden, so he is not sure that he can see through people's hearts.

In comparison, Zhou Xing and he were both from Luoshui County, so they had more dealings with each other, and he had a deep understanding of Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing is a good choice for him.

Whether you are strong enough is not the key.

There are also other means of cultivating the strength of others.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind.

Jiang Ning looked at Zhou Xing.

"Brother Zhou Xing, how strong are you now?"

"Eighth grade, strength of two thousand five hundred kilograms!" Zhou Xing said with some pride.

With such strength, he is already a leader in Luoshui County.

Not to mention that he is still very young and has great potential in the future.

With more effort for a period of time, it is entirely possible to enter the seventh rank. It may not be impossible to enter the sixth rank or even the fifth rank in your lifetime.

With such an achievement, he would be a figure who would be recorded in the annals of Luoshui County.

But he also knew that he was able to have such strength only because of his initial surrender and the help Jiang Ning gave him.

He also knew that if he had the opportunity, he would become a figure recorded in the county annals.

Then Jiang Ning is a figure who will go down in history.

"Eighth rank?" Jiang Ning frowned: "Too weak!"

He readily expressed his own opinion.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing's proud expression suddenly disappeared, and he felt a little bitter in his heart.

He could tell that these were Jiang Ning's true thoughts.

The word "weak" dealt him a heavy blow instantly.

From the letter Jiang Ning sent him, he knew that Jiang Ning was going to use him.

But now that Jiang Ning evaluated his strength as weak, he suddenly felt panicked and even more nervous.

"Brother Zhou Xing, drink this!" Jiang Ning lifted the teacup beside him. The bottom of the teacup was covered with blood.

This was the blood he had just prepared for Zhou Xing.

Blood to increase strength.

After absorbing the authority of the God of Flesh and Blood, his flesh and blood also had the effect of strengthening the body.

And now, as his strength increases and his body becomes stronger, the effect of his blood becomes stronger.

Since he wanted to use Zhou Xing, he needed Zhou Xing to be stronger.

Now Zhou Xing is only at the eighth rank. In Dongling City, he is too weak.

I saw the teacup being opened and heard Jiang Ning's words.

Zhou Xing immediately picked up the teacup without hesitation, tilted his head back and swallowed it in one gulp.

next moment.

Zhou Xing's face began to turn red, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

"Brother, please improve your strength as soon as possible these days! I need you to reach a higher level of strength!"

"Yes!" Zhou Xing nodded repeatedly.

Then he said, "Sir, I will go back first!"

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

He also knew that Zhou Xing was not feeling well as his blood was taking effect.

But this just shows that his blood is more effective now.

With Zhou Xing's departure.

Jiang Ning held the wine glass again and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Zhou Xing, Xie Xiaojiu, and Feng Jiuge are the three people he wants to use.

Improving his strength is not difficult for him now.

Just pay some blood.

What really made him hesitate was Cheng Ran.

In Luoshui County, Cheng Ran is his only good friend.

Now that he is on the rise, it’s not that he doesn’t want to help Cheng Ran.

But he knew that if he helped in this way, their friendship would deteriorate due to the complete inequality in their status.

Just like how Zhou Xing treated him just now.

He could feel Zhou Xing's restraint and uneasiness.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Let Cheng Ran make this choice! Let him choose his future destiny!"

After thinking it through, Jiang Ning stopped worrying about it.

Continue drinking wine and wait for Luyi's return.

After a while.

"Son!"

"Have you seen off Senior Brother Zhou Xing?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Send him away!" said Lu Yi.

"Come on, follow me to the study again. I want to send another letter!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" Lu Yi responded quickly.

She then followed Jiang Ning in small steps.

"By the way, young master!" Lu Yi suddenly spoke halfway through the journey.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ning asked.

Lu Yi said, "Yesterday, Envoy Bai came to look for you, and after learning that you were not there, he asked me to tell you."

"The Envoy's Banquet is already being prepared, and all the forces in the city have received invitations. But now they want to know what the Master likes, so that they can give gifts according to the Master's preferences."

Hear these words.

Jiang Ning stopped.

"Treasures from heaven and earth!"

"Pass this message on!"

He spoke again.

"Yes, sir!" Lu Yi responded immediately, understanding what Jiang Ning meant.

Come out from the study.

Lu Yi ran out of the yard with the letter he wrote to Cheng Ran.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly, there are no clouds in the sky, and the sky is as blue as a clear blue.

"It's a nice day, perfect for a nap." He showed a comfortable look on his face.

After traveling for several days, he returned home today and felt a sense of peace in his heart.

"It's still so comfortable at home!" he sighed softly.

He looked towards his own panel.

[Source Energy]: 3443
[Skills]: Wind and Thunder Step + (break the limit 4000/4000 three times) (Features: Breath of Wind, Swift Wind and Thunder, Chasing Wind and Lightning)

After several days of traveling back and forth, his experience points in Wind and Thunder Step were already maxed out.

The accumulation of experience points in body movement allowed him to now choose to push the limits of the Wind and Thunder Step, a superior martial art.

now.

The image of Xiao Qiu Shui leaving a few days ago flashed through his mind again.

The person that matters to him most now is Xiao Qiu Shui.

Thinking of the peculiarity of the Grandmaster Tianren's walking in the air, he no longer had any hesitation in his heart.

If your physical skills are not outstanding enough, you will be a real sitting duck when facing a master who can walk in the air.

Moreover, with only three Wind and Thunder Steps that break the limit, the number of source energy points required is relatively small.

After making the decision, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

In an instant.

The energy points on the panel will decrease rapidly.

[Source Energy]: 2443 (3443→2443)

next moment.

He slowly closed his eyes.

In his mind, he suddenly saw a gust of green wind.

I saw myself merging with this green gale.

I saw myself turning into a gust of wind, emerging from the sea, and then rushing towards the land.

I saw myself rolling up waves on the sea, pushing the sailboat, passing the beach, rushing into the forest, rolling up the forest, crossing the mountains and lakes.
He followed the gust of wind, feeling its creation and end, and finally turning into a tiny cyclone and slowly returning to calm.

When all the dust has settled.

He slowly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be a flash of blue in his eyes.

[Skills]: Wind and Thunder Step (4637 times to break the limit 5000/) (Features: Breath of Wind, Swift Wind and Thunder, Chasing Wind and Lightning, Rhythm of Wind)
[Rhythm of Wind]: Able to feel the rhythm of wind. The wind moves without leaving a trace, and its shadow leaves no trace.

"The rhythm of the wind?" He murmured, and looked at the experience points that Fenglei Bu currently lacked.

Subsequently.

He leaped up and instantly rushed into the Dongling Mountains behind him.

As he performed his skills, he instantly felt a completely different place.

The body becomes lighter, as if it has no weight at all.

With one leap, he could easily cross a distance of dozens of feet, turning in the air at will, just like flying in the wind.

Then he felt that the speed had greatly increased.

Normally, the faster the speed, the greater the resistance.

When the speed reaches a certain level, the wind resistance becomes as real as a substance.

Therefore, the higher the speed increases, the more difficult it becomes.

But for him, the wind resistance became lower at this moment.

The wind even became his thrust and was used by him to further increase his speed.

After a while.

He stopped on top of a towering hill.

Looking back at the road I came from.

His mansion had long been hidden behind the towering mountains.

After a simple estimate of the distance and time, he came to his conclusion.

"The maximum speed has increased by about 20%!"

“The biggest change is that my flexibility in the air has greatly increased!”

He murmured.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

The higher the speed, the more difficult it is to improve.

A 20% speed increase means that for him now, he can run dozens of feet faster in one breath.

If he increases his speed further, he will be able to reach a speed that breaks the sound barrier.

Thinking of this, he looked at his panel again.

[Source Energy]: 2443
[Skills]: Wind and Thunder Step (4688 times to break the limit 5000/) (Features: Breath of Wind, Swift Wind and Thunder, Chasing Wind and Lightning, Rhythm of Wind)
"We still need about 300 experience points!"

As for the next time to break the limit, the required source energy points are two thousand points, which is just enough!
If I can make another breakthrough, perhaps my speed will be infinitely close to the speed of sound, or even exceed the speed of sound.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

I can no longer contain my excitement.

To exceed the speed of sound would be an extremely terrifying movement.

Once he reaches this level, even a Grandmaster's speed is no match for him. (End of this chapter)
