Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 338 - 50 Unpredictable Techniques_2
And yet, in his view, even though Jiang Ning had some motive, he lacked the strength required.
From when the Residence Master was alerted to his arrival at the scene,
it was merely a matter of a few breaths.
In such a short time, to think of killing He Jinyun, one would have to do it oneself almost.
Furthermore, the way He Jinyun died was so unusual that even if it was done by him, he couldn’t have achieved it.
At the same time,
he also felt that with Jiang Ning’s intelligence and ability to assess the situation, he couldn’t possibly be unaware of how terrifying an act it was to kill He Jinyun.
Being a direct descendant of the Earl’s family, although He Jinyun was the youngest son, he was also extremely favored.
It was imaginable that once this matter spread to the Earl’s residence, it would cause a great stir and provoke tremendous anger.
After staying at the original place for a moment,
the Four Great Commanders all appeared quickly.
Another half an hour passed.
The men gathered and did not come up with any solutions; ultimately, Hong Minghu entrusted the task of tracking down the murderer to Ye Qiu, whom he relied upon most.
The others also dispersed thereafter.
...
Exiting the Inspection Office,
"My lord, you are soaked through. Why not come to my place and take a hot bath?" Xie Xiaojiu timidly said to Jiang Ning.
Hearing Xie Xiaojiu’s words, Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback and then looked at her.
"Aren’t you afraid?"
"Not afraid!" Xie Xiaojiu shook her head.
Jiang Ning, seeing her resolute gaze, then slowly shook his head, "No, it’s too late in the evening."
After leaving these words behind, Jiang Ning turned and walked away.
In this world, even achieving what he had so far, he dared not say he could rest without worries, how could he possibly afford happiness to others.
Not to mention, his actions today had provoked a potential behemoth.
If the affair came to light one day, it would be difficult for him to protect himself, and those who were closer to him would suffer even more.
At the same time,
Xie Xiaojiu, dressed in black, raised an umbrella, watching the tranquil departure of Jiang Ning.
By now, the rain had slowed, having turned from a downpour to a drizzle.
Even as Jiang Ning’s figure completely disappeared, Xie Xiaojiu quietly remained standing in place.
...
Returning to his own residence,
Jiang Ning took a hot bath, and immediately, all the negative emotions dissolved.
A smile still showed on his face.
Regardless, his gains over the past few days were substantial.
He had eliminated a potential threat, Cao Rong.
At the same time, his skills had also breached limits once more, with the limit break in Reading and Writing significantly increasing his comprehension.
With the trait [Outstanding Comprehension] added, the experience value growth for most of his martial skills would be significantly more efficient, a great help for his strength enhancement.
Furthermore, his spiritual power had also surged, and once the Spiritual Field expanded, it could easily envelop an area of a hundred meters around him.
The growth in spiritual power also made his Divine Skills much stronger.
Using the Divine Skill of Cloud Formation and Rainfall today, he easily covered the entire Luoshui County in rain, while also employing Water Manipulation Divine Ability to eliminate He Jinyun from a mile away.
With such unfathomable methods, Jiang Ning couldn’t believe that this could leave any evidence behind, or that anyone else could pinpoint him as the true perpetrator?
This was also why he dared to take action against He Jinyun today, to avenge Aunt Sun.
...
Sitting in the courtyard,
as the clouds dispersed, the bright moon was already high in the night sky.
Jiang Ning glanced at his status panel.
[name]: Jiang Ning
[Source Energy]: 237.43
[Skills]:
Reading and Writing (five times limit-breaking 3/5000) (Traits: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension)
Chopping Wood Blade Skill+ (five times limit-breaking 6000/6000) (Traits: Touch and Understand, Blade like a Swift Wind, God-like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One, Innate Blade Bone)
Swimming (five times limit-breaking 6000/6000) (Traits: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation Technique, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Formation and Rainfall, Water Spirit Body)
...
"There are still two hundred Source Energy Points left, these two hundred points are only enough to complete the fifth time limit-breaking for Reading and Writing, still insufficient for the sixth time limit-breaking for Chopping Wood Blade Skill and Swimming."
After reading the panel, Jiang Ning immediately closed it.
Now, there was only one thing on his mind, and that was how to further enhance his strength.
The stronger his strength, the more confident he would be in facing various unexpected events.
Just like yesterday,
knowing that Cao Rong was heading straight for Luoshui County, he was able to leave Luoshui County alone and intercept Cao Rong halfway.
This was all because of his strength.
Sufficient strength had given him this confidence.
If one day he killed He Jinyun and it came to light, then strength alone would be his reliance.
An official identity might be useful against a force like the Yellow Heaven Sect.
But merely relying on an Eighth Grade official position against an Earl, who held a Fourth Grade, was insignificant.
Although Jiang Ning saw this possibility as not very large, he could not help but guard against it.
Like that night, when he attacked Liu Linmen in secret, only to have Liu Linmen summon the Earth King who used the Yin God technique and easily located him.
He did not understand these mysterious and ghost-like methods.
Afterwards, Jiang Ning began to reassess his current strength.
He glanced at his panel again.
[Skill]:
Reading and Writing (Five times limit-breaking 3/5000) (Trait: unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension)
Five Animals Fist (One time limit-breaking 787/2000) (Trait: Five Internal Organs Store Essence)
Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Five times limit-breaking 6000/6000) (Trait: touch and understand, Blade like a Swift Wind, God-like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One, Innate Blade Bone)
Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (small success 713/5000)
Vajra Immortal Body (small success 453/5000)
Swimming (Five times limit-breaking 6000/6000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation Technique, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Formation and Rainfall, Water Spirit Body)
Wind Thunder Arrow Skill (Three times limit-breaking 49/4000) (Trait: Wind and Thunder Breath, Heart Arrow Technique, Wind and Thunder Arrow)
Water and Fire True Strength (small success 54/500)
Reading and Writing allowed his mental power to cover a hundred meters around him, greatly aiding him.
The Five Animals Fist, although only achieving its first limit-breaking, had brought a massive increase in his Qi-Blood, which was key to his rapid progress.
The biggest change in the Chopping Wood Blade Skill was that after achieving five limit-breakings, his Sword Force had further improved.
That peak blade strike that night was still unforgettable for Jiang Ning.
In his view, that strike might be his strongest combat technique.
To kill a flesh-distorted monster of Martial Arts Sixth Grade with one strike was testament to the horror of that blade.

As for the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, reaching the level of small success had allowed him to master the Inner Breath that should only be available in the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm.
His dual cultivation of internal and external techniques was also why his strength far surpassed those of the same grade.
He had not spent much time on the Vajra Immortal Body recently, which although a superior technique, had not shown any special miraculous effects in him.
He then looked at the skills of Swimming, Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, and Water and Fire True Strength.
Swimming, in particular, was his biggest reliance now.
With the Swimming technique, once he entered water, his strength would increase significantly—water was his home field.
The Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, a Middle-class Martial Arts, had also become one of Jiang Ning’s trump cards now that it had undergone three limit-breakings.
Additionally, methods swift as wind and fierce as thunder greatly enhanced his regular techniques.
Compared to the terror of the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, the superior martial arts technique Water and Fire True Strength was a shade less potent in attack capabilities.
Jiang Ning also understood that all of this was because the Water and Fire True Strength, still at a lower level of small success, had not yet achieved Great Success, let alone Perfection.
As for the Middle-class Martial Arts Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, having achieved three limit-breakings with the enhancement of three traits, and with each limit-breaking strengthening the Wind Thunder Energy further,
the three limit-breakings had already transformed the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill.
It was no longer simply a standard Middle-class Martial Arts.
In Jiang Ning’s view, even a superior martial arts at Perfection level might not compare to his Wind Thunder Arrow Skill with three times limit-breaking.
After sorting through the changes in the panel, Jiang Ning immediately closed the panel and clenched his fist.
In an instant,
strength coursed through his body, feeling the extremely resilient, dragon tendon-like human great tendons, he nodded with satisfaction.
Achieving Dragon Tendon, but the true peak of Martial Arts Seventh Grade could not be furthered at this level.
If he wanted to seek further breakthroughs, it would be the path of Martial Arts Sixth Grade.
Now, to further advance his strength, besides improving his skills, the most important thing was the tempering of his flesh.
Bone Forging was the last step of outer refining,
and a crucial one.
After completing this step, with his early start in dual internal and external cultivation, and the progress of his Inner Elixir Cultivation, he could directly enter the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm.
And it would not be an ordinary Fifth Grade.
