Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Canglang Martial Arts Hall.

Accompanied by Jiang Ning’s last punch thrown.

All phenomena returned to tranquility.

And a faintly expanding fist mark remained.

Within the fist mark, five colors overflowed, Yin and Yang shifted, and all returned to solitude.

"Good! Good!! Good!!!" Wang Jin gazed at Jiang Ning, uttering ’good’ thrice, his voice filled with incomparable excitement and comfort, "The wisest decision I made in this life was taking you as my disciple!"

Jiang Ning stood after retracting his fist, with all anomalies disappearing, returning to calmness.

"Master Wang, what do you think of this boxing technique of mine?"

"Good! Very good!!" Wang Jin sincerely said, "But as to how good, I cannot tell! The gap between us now is truly vast!"

As the words fell, Wang Jin’s expression filled with emotion.

"Master Wang, I wish to truly impart this boxing technique to you. It’s both a boxing technique and a supreme inner strength method." Jiang Ning looked at Wang Jin, speaking earnestly.

"No need!" Wang Jin shook his head calmly towards Jiang Ning, "I am aware of my limits; my comprehension and aptitude are modest. Reaching this step is a stroke of luck! As for your creation of the Five Animals Fist, its realm is too high, too mysterious. Forcing comprehension will instead fall to lower levels and disturb the heart spirit."

As he spoke, Wang Jin wore a face filled with serenity and calmness.

Jiang Ning heard this, observing Wang Jin’s serene and calm face, secretly admiring him in his heart.

Even after he had shown the strength and profundity of this Five Animals Fist, Wang Jin could still calmly refuse.

This was not easy.

He understood that Wang Jin could refuse partly because of his pride.

No matter how one says it, between him and Wang Jin, the relationship remains that of mentor and apprentice.

The gap in strength does not change the actual relationship.

With Wang Jin’s strong character, how could he be willing to learn the Five Animals Fist from him?

"Master Wang, forgive me!" A thought flashed through his mind.

Jiang Ning spoke.

As the words fell.

His figure moved and appeared before Wang Jin.

"You brat, what are you doing?" Wang Jin’s expression changed, finding himself unable to struggle or move.

"Master Wang, close your eyes, calm your mind." Jiang Ning spoke, his finger lightly touching Wang Jin’s forehead.

Instantly, a flood of information surged into Wang Jin’s mind.

In the next moment.

Wang Jin looked complexly at Jiang Ning, then closed his eyes.

...

After a while.

The sun hung high.

Golden sunlight fell to the ground, reflecting dazzling brilliance.

Wang Jin slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes instinctively squinted.

The courtyard was silent.

He turned to look around, only to see no one in the courtyard, with Jiang Ning’s figure long gone, leaving only himself.

"That brat!!!" Wang Jin’s face revealed an indescribably complex expression.

Then, he closed his eyes again, quietly digesting the flood of information in his mind.

Profound boxing principles, the transformation of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang converging, the dawn of chaos, all surged like tides within his heart.

Among these mysteries, he found it hard to comprehend, hard to digest yet vaguely understood.

Meanwhile.

On the rooftop, a small stone suddenly rolled, falling along the eaves.

At this moment, Wang Jin was deeply absorbed in his own mind, noticing none of this commotion.

After a long time.

Wang Jin slowly opened his eyes, eyes deep and vast.

Whew—

He exhaled a breath of impure energy, looking complexly toward the direction of the courtyard gate, murmuring.

"That brat... has reached a level completely beyond my understanding!"

After the words fell, a smile gradually appeared at the corner of Wang Jin’s mouth.

Within this smile, there was comfort, pride, and a slight trace of melancholy.

"Oh well! Since you have this intention, I won’t be bothered anymore, and will accept your kind thought."

As he spoke, Wang Jin also assumed a stance.

In the next moment.

He began practicing the Five Animals Fist.

Initially, his movements were not smooth.

This boxing technique, though born from his perfected realm of the Five Animals Fist.

The essence of the two was already different.

In his mind, he diligently recalled the insights Jiang Ning had just imparted, the flowing Five Elements, the alternating Yin and Yang, the profundity of chaos’s inception.

Gradually, his movements began to smoothen.

Amidst the motion and stillness, red, black, white, orange, blue rays of light circulated, appearing in his fists and palms.

His figure was like a tiger roaring through the forest, already displaying a semblance of power.

Then, the fist force changed, like a bear stepping on the earth.

A moment later, it changed again, like a crane dancing in the sky.

Afterwards, like an ape climbing a cliff, like a deer leaping over a stream.

Five changes, five rhythms, five Qi alternately circulating.

Wang Jin immersed himself within, his heart spirit gradually merged with the boxing technique.

He could feel the Five Elements Qi gathering from heaven and earth, pouring into his body, nourishing his organs.

Fire Qi flowed into the heart.

Water Qi flowed into the kidneys.

Metal Qi flowed into the lungs.

Earth Qi flowed into the spleen.

Wood Qi flowed into the liver.

Each organ received its nourishment, Qi circulated, endlessly life-giving.

With one set of boxing complete.

Wang Jin stood, withdrawing his fists.

"Good boy...!!!" Wang Jin was filled with countless emotions.

Having trained in the Five Animals Fist for decades, for such a boxing system newly entering the advanced level, he had already perfected its realm, each move and form surpassed the lower-level martial arts’ scope.

But today, personally experiencing the boxing technique Jiang Ning created, and feeling it firsthand, only then did he understand how immense the gap between them was.

No need to discuss the might of each move.

Just as a body refining technique, this boxing is an incomparable supreme technique, cultivating both inside and out.

The momentum of the Five Animals refines Qi-Blood, strengthens the physique, increases speed, as well as agility and reflexes.

It is an all-round enhancement.

As for Inner Strength.

The Five Elements give birth to each other, cycling endlessly.

Five Qi entering five organs is a supreme Inner Strength Method.

Simply after one set, he felt the improvement of Inner Strength from the Five Animals Fist far surpassing his previous practice of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, at least several times more efficient.
