Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Boom—

Yuan Fei's right leg involuntarily stepped back, and the moment his right leg touched the ground, he suddenly erupted with terrifying power.

Hiss—

Yuan Fei's muscles intensely collided at this moment, his arms and legs swelling so much that his clothes burst open.

For a moment, fabric flew through the air.

"Take this strike!" Yuan Fei bellowed, mustering strength in his arms, just about to shift from defense to offense.

However, at that moment, the thick blade in Jiang Ning's hand seemed unaffected by any force.

As soon as the blade separated from the stick, another slash descended.

Clang—

Seeing this, Yuan Fei could only continue to defend with his stick.

Thud—

Faced with the overwhelming explosive power, this time it was Yuan Fei's left leg stepping back.

His thick left leg stepped down, instantly cracking the platform.

...

"What incredible power!" exclaimed the man overseeing the evaluation nearby, his face slightly changing color.

A step that cracked the ground of the platform, the contained power was unbelievable.

This was already far beyond the strength possessed by a Martial Arts Eighth Grade.

"How strong is this strike of his?" The man looked at Jiang Ning, incredibly perplexed.

Then.

Thud—

Yuan Fei took another step back, the platform cracked again, and fissures spread outwards.

Clang—

Jiang Ning raised his hand and delivered another cut.

The powerful Sword Force erupted, causing Yuan Fei to retreat once again.

Then cut after cut.

The sword strikes were relentless, and Yuan Fei kept retreating.

As much as Qin Xuan felt stifled just now, Yuan Fei felt equally so now.

In front of Jiang Ning's heavy, lightning-fast sword strikes, Yuan Fei found no chance to counterattack.

He could only keep retreating, gradually pushing him to the same predicament as Qin Xuan just experienced.

...

Below the platform.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel secretly thrilled.

Just now, facing Yuan Fei's unceasing stick attacks, even though he blocked them all, he was almost beaten to the point of spitting blood and not recovering.

If not for that, he would not have chosen to jump off the platform and concede.

Now, seeing Yuan Fei follow in his footsteps, this naturally gave Qin Xuan great satisfaction.

At the same time, he was extraordinarily shocked by Jiang Ning's strength.

Having personally faced Yuan Fei, he knew well how strong Yuan Fei was!

He was completely suppressed without any strength to retaliate, a significant acknowledgment indeed.

And he was among the highly ranked individuals present.

Among the standout captains of the Inspection Office, he was within at least the top three.

This strength was completely suppressed by Yuan Fei.

And yet, Yuan Fei was in turn completely suppressed by Jiang Ning.

"What kind of monster is this!" Thinking of Jiang Ning revealing his age as eighteen, Qin Xuan felt incredibly complex.

He once thought he was a prodigy, born into a notable family, with excellent innate Talent, and had a smooth journey thus far, with few peers who could match him.

Today, however, in such a small place, he saw what a true Martial Arts prodigy was.

He watched the platform, where Yuan Fei now had his face flushed red and eyes bloodshot, filled with a crimson hue.

"Claiming to be a prodigy, yet he has no right to even stand before him!" Qin Xuan showed a bitter smile.

Yuan Fei could suppress him to the point of breathlessness, and Jiang Ning could suppress Yuan Fei the same way.

The gap between them was exaggerated to think about.

Moreover, Jiang Ning, who achieved this, was still so young, not yet of age.

...

On the platform.

Yuan Fei had retreated to where Qin Xuan had just been, with only about half a meter left to the edge of the platform behind him.

At this moment.

This battle, which seemed intense to outsiders, felt like no burden to Jiang Ning.

Because his Internal Strength had achieved some success, the functioning of his five organs was far beyond ordinary.

Even though he appeared to wield a 300-pound thick blade, exerting full force with each strike, he still showed no sign of reddened face or racing heart.

This battle, to him, was at most a warm-up.

Then, he cleaved with another stroke, the blade wind whistling through the nine ring-holes on the blade's spine, sounding like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Seeing this strike, Yuan Fei's eyes bulged out, resembling bronze bells.

"Break!"

He shouted, and suddenly a blood-colored mist rose from his body.

The muscles in his limbs solidified like iron, clearly revealing the green veins and human meridians winding across the muscles.

"Forbidden Technique!!" Hong Minghu instantly uttered these two words from the stands.

The next moment.

Clang—

The blade and stick collided.

An immense, vast force surged from the blade to Jiang Ning's right arm.

Thunk thunk thunk—

Faced with this massive force, Jiang Ning involuntarily took three steps back.

So strong!

Jiang Ning was secretly startled.

"Kill—" Yuan Kong glared furiously.

At this moment, it seemed like red flames were burning in his eyes.

A faint red mist also drifted from his entire body.

As the stick fell, halfway through the air, Jiang Ning felt a strong wind pressure rushing towards his face.

"Good coming!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Although Yuan Fei had been strong just now, the pressure on him wasn't great.

It made him somewhat bored.

But this stick attack made him somewhat excited.

A clash of the strong, that was what he truly desired.

Next moment.

Thump—

His heart suddenly pounded heavily.

It was as if a stone had fallen into a calm lake, suddenly creating a ripple.

The blood in his body seemed to break free like wild horses running wild.

In an instant,

He felt an infinite power surge within him, his energy was abundant, with nowhere to vent.

His skin quickly turned red, veins bulged, and his muscles were stimulated intensely, twisting into the shape of sinuous dragons.

All these changes happened in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the human body's limits inside him had been removed.

Only a Martial Artist who had attained the Fifth Grade Internal Strength could achieve this.

Removing human body limits, completely unleashing the body's potential.

Enhancing speed, power, reaction, and endurance comprehensively.

And this, it was merely a basic technique for Martial Artists who have stepped into the Fifth Grade.

But this kind of basic technique of the Fifth Grade, used at this moment, had an effect far beyond any so-called Forbidden Technique.

On the other side,

On the viewing platform, Hong Minghu's pupils suddenly narrowed.

Internal and external cultivation, successful internal refining!!!

Gongsun Yu, witnessing this, also had his pupils sharply contract.

Because both of them, were Martial Artists who had stepped into the Fifth Grade.

Naturally, they could recognize that the technique Jiang Ning was using

Was one that could be mastered only when the organs had been greatly enhanced through Internal Strength.

Moreover, to use this technique, one also needed strong mental power.

Only with mental power strong enough to introspect one's body could one use this technique, remove human body limits, and unlock their potential.

This technique was far more profound than those so-called Forbidden Techniques.

Because most of the inspirations for Forbidden Techniques came from methods to remove human body constraints.

"What kind of monster is this?" Hong Minghu couldn't help but wonder inwardly.

Jiang Ning's current performance was simply astonishing.

"If I were to take a disciple, I must find a way to take this young man as my disciple, this performance is monstrous!!" Hong Minghu sighed inwardly as he looked at Jiang Ning in this moment.

At this time,

Gongsun Yu was also coveting Jiang Ning.

"How great would it be to take him as a disciple?"

"What a pity! Such a pity!"

He glanced at Hong Minghu beside him and sighed inwardly.

...

On the arena.

Jiang Ning swung his blade.

As soon as this strike fell, a solid oppressive force instantly enveloped Yuan Fei.

At the same time, in Yuan Fei's burning eyes, there was now only the blade in mid-air.

The blade reflects in Yuan Fei's fiery pupils, instantly conjuring the image of the Fiery Fire Refining Gold Blade.

...

On the viewing platform.

Clang—

The desk before Hong Minghu suddenly shook, moving slightly about a centimeter forward.

Sword Force!!

Hong Minghu's pupils contracted yet again.

"How is this possible!" Gongsun Yu exclaimed slightly open-mouthed.

As the Third Elder of the Medicine King Valley, well-experienced and knowledgeable, how could he not recognize that Jiang Ning's strike was indeed Sword Force.

This profound and mysterious technique, even he had yet to master.

Out of all Fifth Grade Martial Artists, less than half can master any form of Force.

Because only by mastering Force, could one step into the ranks of the Fourth Grade.

Force.

It is a profound and ineffable technique!

But there's no doubt, this technique is extremely powerful.

Regardless of which Force is mastered, once deployed, it's as if one could borrow the power of the universe, merging with the cosmos.

Facing a strong person who has mastered the Force, one can only clash forcefully, unable to escape.

If the Force is strong enough, it can even suppress others with its might.

Winning without a battle.

This, even the Valley Master couldn't achieve.

He had once been fortunate enough to encounter such a formidable person, who was also an exceedingly young Fourth Grade strong person.

That Fourth Grade strong person's Force was overwhelmingly powerful.

Upon the burst of Force, he only felt terrified, daring not make the slightest movement.
