Chapter 653: Chapter 33: The Dark Night and Strong Wind, Yu Manyun’s Arrival!_2

The dark courtyard was instantly illuminated by the firelight.

In the spacious courtyard, a tiger bathed in flames appeared.

Waves of heat spread outward, instantly withering the surrounding plants.

The third level of Fist Force had reached a reality-impacting level.

At this moment, Jiang Ning felt the upheaval of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Compared to Sword Force, the Power of Heaven and Earth invoked by Fist Force was undoubtedly much more magnificent.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he began practicing the Five Animals Fist, displaying the Fist Force, while also drawing the Power of Heaven and Earth into his body.

[...]

In less than thirty minutes.

Jiang Ning’s body trembled.

Every pore in his flesh suddenly emitted a visibly glowing radiance.

The radiance burst forth like a waterfall generated in the void, resembling a bridge connecting the Heavenly Person.

In an instant.

He felt his body being washed by an invisible force, bringing an indescribable sense of ease throughout his body, as if releasing him from some constraint or burden.

His body became incredibly transparent.

After several breaths, he opened his eyes.

Light continued to burst from every pore, with a shimmer of light filling his muscles, as if a Divine being had descended.

"Indeed!"

"The Power of Heaven and Earth invoked by the Fist Force of the Five Animals Fist is indeed greater and more exaggerated, significantly shortening the time to complete one round of Marrow Refining!!"

He nodded continuously, showing a satisfied expression.

Then, he looked at the panel again.

[Realm]: Fourth Grade Marrow Refining (9/1999)

"Indeed!!"

Seeing the changes on his panel, he displayed an understanding expression.

His heart was immediately inspired, his motivation becoming even more abundant.

The greatest fear in one’s life is to exert effort without gain, unable to see where the endpoint and goal lie.

For the average Martial Artist, practicing is like a lone boat crossing a vast ocean, unsure how long it still needs to sail before reaching the shore, unsure if the direction of progression is straight.

This unknown and confusion easily make people give up halfway.

But he was different; not only did he know the right direction.

He could also clearly see his endpoint.

He only needed to practice Marrow Refining 1999 times like tonight to achieve Perfection in the Fourth Grade Marrow Refining realm.

Having confirmed this hypothesis and gaining a goal, his motivation naturally increased further.

Subsequently.

He continued practicing his punches, exploding with Fist Force and drawing the Power of Heaven and Earth into his body.

[...]

In the repetitive act of punching practice, the experience value of the Five Animals Fist continued to increase.

The dual benefits gained provided Jiang Ning with even more abundant motivation.

Moreover, the efficiency of Marrow Refining also gradually increased with each round of familiarity.

...

On the other side.

Bai Luoyu stood in his courtyard, looking toward the brightly lit courtyard where Jiang Ning was located.

"Is this... Force? Second level of Force? Or the third level of Force?"

He showed a thoughtful expression, murmuring to himself.

According to his understanding, being able to influence the outside world with Force and display anomalies requires at least the second level of Force.

Because the first level of Force can only project into the spiritual world.

He was not in opposition to Jiang Ning, but even at a distance of a mile, he could see the anomalies in Jiang Ning’s courtyard.

This naturally indicated that the Force Jiang Ning mastered was not just the first level but at least the second level of Force.

Because the second level of Force can influence reality, even if not facing an opponent directly, the anomalies caused by Force will still be visible.

And the third level of Force is even more terrifying, bringing the imaginary Force into reality, making it a true existence.

This divinity is beyond what average martial artists can grasp.

"Such talent, it’s monstrous!!" Bai Luoyu couldn’t help shaking his head.

Although he was tempted to go over and see what was happening to satisfy his curiosity.

But he also knows, recklessly spying on others’ martial arts practice, probing into others’ secrets, is a very imprudent behavior.

"With the conditions Brother Jiang currently possesses, once his inner breath completes the transformation, condenses into liquid, and transforms into True Yuan, he might be able to start marrow cleansing!"

Thinking of this, Bai Luoyu shook his head: "No! I cannot fall behind him! I have already mastered the second stage of force, and my inner breath has already transformed, the only lacking is the total amount of True Yuan!"

"Only a sixty-year worth of power can allow me to complete a full cycle of marrow cleansing!"

"I must attend the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion auction in half a month, the Thunder Fruit is on the auction list, and Brother Jiang gained over sixty years of power through the Thunder Fruit!"

"With the help of the Thunder Fruit, I should be able to possess sixty years of power as well!"

"Sixty years of power can fulfill the True Yuan consumption for one cycle of marrow refining!!"

...

As time passes.

The night deepens further.

Under the cover of clouds, the moonlight becomes hazy, as if draped in a layer of gauze.

"Be careful of fire, it’s dry!"

"Be careful of fire, it’s dry!"

"Be careful of fire, it’s dry!"

"..."

With the sound of the watchman’s bell and his calls.

It indicates that it is already 7 p.m.

Two black silhouettes swiftly pass over the rooftops, approaching the courtyard quietly.

Suddenly.

The agile figure of a woman stops first.

She stares at Jiang Ning’s located east courtyard, her eyes momentarily dazed.

The woman behind her also quickly stops, glancing in the direction the previous woman is looking, her expression remains calm.

Seeing the blaze in the distant courtyard, Xiao Emei instantly recognizes it as Jiang Ning’s fist force.

Jiang Ning has mastered the third stage of fist force, she is already aware.

She still hasn’t forgotten everything that transpired that night when she sneaked into Jiang Ning’s room under the cover of night.

These following days, she often wakes up startled from her dreams.

It was that night when Jiang Ning erupted with his fist force, the mental and physical oppression it inflicted on her was too powerful.

"Senior sister, you say this is..." The woman in front suddenly speaks.

"Force! A force beyond the second stage!" Xiao Emei uttered calmly.

Yu Manyun: "..."

"Junior sister, do you still refuse to give up?" Xiao Emei said lightly: "His current age, his strength far exceeds ours, if he finds out, Junior sister might be able to get in, but will never get out!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Manyun fell silent again.

The rooftop became instantly quiet.

Xiao Emei stopped speaking at this moment, instead quietly waiting for Yu Manyun to make a decision.

She knows, due to Jiang Ning’s previous orders, if she doesn’t watch over Yu Manyun closely, and allow Yu Manyun to harm Jiang Ning’s family, she too will meet a bad end.

This is also the reason why she followed Yu Manyun out tonight.

After a long silence.

Yu Manyun’s murmuring suddenly broke the silence.

"Before leaving the Water Moon Sword Palace, I made a promise in front of my master. Having made a promise, I cannot give up!"

"Moreover, that Commander Jiang is now practicing martial arts, during practice, it is impossible for him to be distracted!"

"His relatives, are all ordinary people, especially that little girl, she is such an ordinary person, if I take her away without making any noise, he absolutely won’t find me!"

These words from Yu Manyun seemed to explain to Xiao Emei, and also as if convincing herself, convincing herself to find enough reasons to act.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Emei said: "Since Junior sister Yu is determined, then I won’t persuade you further!"

Immediately, she looks at Yu Manyun before her, sighing once again.

"Junior sister Yu, we are of the same sect, since you are so determined, I will help you a bit, by monitoring that Commander Jiang!"

Hearing this, Yu Manyun looked deeply at Xiao Emei, her eyes bright.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

With the voice fading, Yu Manyun hesitated no more, her figure sped swiftly towards Jiang Ning’s mansion.

Under the veiled night, wearing black night attire, Yu Manyun seemed ghostly, even passing by ordinary people, she was hard to detect.

Xiao Emei hurriedly followed her.

A moment later.

The two halted by the wall outside Jiang Ning Mansion.

Xiao Emei’s eyes flashed, reaching out to tug Yu Manyun’s sleeve.

Yu Manyun immediately turned to Xiao Emei, her eyes still bright.

"Junior sister Yu, I won’t go in!" Xiao Emei’s lips slightly parted, employing Sound Transmission into Secret Skill.

Hearing this, Yu Manyun’s expression turned a little stunned, she looked at Xiao Emei once again, then with a motion, she climbed over the tall wall ahead.
