Chapter 664: Chapter 38 Trait: Harmony of Water and Fire, Transformation of True Yuan and Qi-Blood!_2

Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded.

The topic then swiftly shifted.

"Yiming, punch me with all your might, let me see your martial arts progress!"

"Alright, Uncle!" Jiang Yiming’s face immediately filled with confidence.

His face clearly had big words written on it, "Good student, never afraid of a test!"

Then.

Jiang Yiming stepped back and clenched his fingers into a fist.

"Uncle, I’m ready!"

"Do it!"

"Yes!" Jiang Yiming responded.

His gaze suddenly sharpened, his eyes became fierce.

He knew his Uncle’s competence, knew that despite his rapid martial arts progress and formidable skills, he was still no match for Jiang Ning.

Thus, he had no intention of holding back.

Whoosh—

He suddenly threw his right fist, causing his sleeve and the air to produce a harsh friction sound.

The next moment.

Boom—

A muffled sound.

Jiang Yiming felt his punch hit Jiang Ning’s palm, as if it hit a towering and unmovable divine mountain.

The powerful counterforce instantly made him retreat repeatedly.

Tap—

Tap—

Tap—

After retreating three steps, Jiang Yiming finally managed to disperse this counterforce.

"Not bad!" Jiang Ning nodded, showing satisfaction.

From Jiang Yiming’s full-strength punch, he could feel that Jiang Yiming now possessed no less than a thousand pounds of force.

With such force, if not rivaling the eighth grade, he could at least walk unbridled among the ninth grade.

At this age, with this skill, it was a breeze for Jiang Yiming to pass the assessment and enter the Martial Arts Garden.

Having understood Jiang Yiming’s strength, Jiang Ning immediately felt relieved.

He then spoke, "Yiming, go and tell your mother that I won’t be having breakfast. After you finish eating, go to the Martial Arts Garden to register. Once I finish my training, I’ll try to catch up!"

"Yes, Uncle!" Jiang Yiming immediately understood: "Then I won’t disturb Uncle’s cultivation, I’ll head back!"

Watching Jiang Yiming’s disappearing silhouette.

Jiang Ning waved his hand.

The torches standing by immediately changed one after another, and the flames spontaneously rising lit the torches again.

Fierce flames rose, with waves of heat rolling, instantly making the surrounding air become distorted and blurred.

He once again sat cross-legged at the junction of fire and water.

[Skill]: Water and Fire True Strength (Three times limit-breaking 3793/4000) (Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, Water and Fire Control, Stone Boiling)

"In a little over half a time unit, Water and Fire True Strength can achieve four times limit-breaking!"

"Four times limit-breaking, the Water and Fire Grinding Plate Force can enter the second level, affecting reality with illusion!"

"The second level of force also meets the requirements for Marrow Cleansing, allowing me to test the difference between the force derived from superior martial arts versus lower martial arts."

"Whether it’s worth continuing to invest more Source Energy Points to enhance the Water and Fire True Strength breaking limit level."

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning silently mused.

The Source Energy Points required for Water and Fire True Strength from three to four is one thousand points.

From four to five, it requires two thousand Source Energy Points.

To reach the third level of Water and Fire Grinding Plate Force, it requires a total of three thousand points.

Yet the Source Energy Points currently on his panel are less than two thousand points.

Only enough to meet the requirement for Water and Fire True Strength three to four breaking limits.

If he wants four to five, he not only needs to continue practicing to grow Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value but also has to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or elixirs containing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to increase Source Energy Points.

Whether it’s worth such painstaking effort depends on the performance after breaking the limits.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Ning immediately composed his mind.

He started to fully operate Water and Fire True Strength to drive the two extreme forces of water and fire within his body.

Instantly, these two forces inside him turned like a grinding plate, rotating slowly.

Under the rotation of the grinding plate, his body’s abundant Qi-Blood Power was continuously extracted.

The surrounding lake surface suddenly stirred waves without wind, surging towards his direction.

The flames beside him also suddenly seemed to be drawn by a vortex, changing their fire trend, leaping towards Jiang Ning’s position.

[Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value +3]

[Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value +6]

[Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value +5]

[...]

As time slowly passed by, the Water and Fire True Strength Experience Value grew slowly but orderly.

...

On the other side.

"Mother, do you need me to call Dudu?" Little Dumpling held Liuu Wanwan’s finger and looked up at her.

"No need!" Liuu Wanwan reached out to rub Little Dumpling’s head: "Your uncle is likely at a critical moment of practice now, let’s not disturb him!"

"Mother, it’s nailed!" Jiang Yiming spoke.

In front of him, on the vermilion door, he hammered a very conspicuous white paper.

"Ah Ning, breakfast is still warm on the stove."

Liuu Wanwan glanced at the note on the vermilion door, she immediately nodded.

"Then let’s set off! We can’t miss the time for the Martial Arts Garden entrance test."

...

East courtyard.

The waves on the lake surged and constantly pounded against the shore.

Jiang Ning’s face was as calm as a still pond, like a monk in deep meditation.

Suddenly.

He opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance passed through them.

[Source Energy]:1839.33

[Skill]: Water and Fire True Strength +(Three times limit-breaking 4000/4000)(Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, Water and Fire Control, Stone Boiling)

"It’s done!!"

The next moment.

With a thought.

[Source Energy]:839.33 (1839.33→839.33)

As his thought moved, the Source Energy Points on the panel instantly dropped by a thousand points.

He once again felt everything experienced the night before last.

At times surrounded by water, at times engulfed in fire.

Constantly feeling the alternation of water and fire, his body turned cold and hot by turns.

Until a certain moment, water and fire merged, coexisting to form a grinding wheel.

One half was red, red for fire.

The other half was black, black for water.

At this moment, the red and black colors, the Water and Fire Force, became incomparably balanced, forming a grinding wheel slowly rolling.

He then returned to normal, slowly opening his eyes.

At this time.

The morning breeze was slightly cool, tree shadows swayed, and ripples appeared on the lake surface.

He glanced at the sundial with indifference, then withdrew his gaze.

"Not late, still have some time!"

Although he had just awakened from the limit-breaking, he already knew Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan had already left first.

But he was not in a hurry, for the time of the Martial Arts Garden entrance test had not yet arrived.

The next moment, he looked at his panel.

[Source Energy]:839.33

Due to the limit-breaking of Water and Fire True Strength, his Source Energy directly decreased by a thousand points.

He then lowered his gaze.

[Skill]: Water and Fire True Strength (Four times limit-breaking 3/5000)(Traits: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, Water and Fire Control, Stone Boiling, Water and Fire)

[Water and Fire]: A Water and Fire Profound Meaning, mastering this profound meaning can make different forces merge without repulsion.

Water and Fire?

Looking at the newly appeared trait on his panel, Jiang Ning’s eyes slightly concentrated.

A deep furrow appeared between his eyebrows.

Water and Fire Profound Meaning?

Seeing the explanation of the trait, he fell into contemplation.

Within him, Qi-Blood and True Yuan coexisted.

Qi-Blood, ethereal, existing in every part of his flesh, yet he could feel the real existence of Qi-Blood.

True Yuan, on the other hand, existed in the Dantian.

The Dantian, in reality, was also a place ethereal.

The theory of the Dantian also existed in his previous life.

But human anatomy had long become a thick book, yet no matter how deeply explored, the so-called Dantian could not be found.

In this world, it was the same.

Regarding the Dantian, former wise men were also curious and had dissected the bodies of those who had embarked on Martial Arts, across different grades.

Jiang Ning had also read many such related books.

In those books, not only did the wise men fail to find the Dantian, they also couldn’t find the many human terms mentioned in books like Spiritual Platform or Sea of Consciousness.

Martial Arts Strongmen were not fundamentally different from ordinary people in terms of structure.

Even the so-called Grandmasters were like that.

"Can Water and Fire let my True Yuan and Qi-Blood merge?" Jiang Ning murmured within his heart.

Let’s try!

After making the decision.

He closed his eyes.

Within just a moment.

He opened his eyes again, his gaze bright.

At this moment.

The True Yuan in his Dantian, like a water pond, had disappeared.

The power of two Jiazi merged into his Qi-Blood, into every part of his flesh.

Qi-Blood and True Yuan thoroughly integrated at this moment.

This also means that from now on, his body also became another carrier of True Yuan.

The total amount of True Yuan would no longer be limited by the capacity of the Dantian.

And the Dantian does have a carrying limit.

He had read a passage in a book mentioning the limit of Dantian capacity.

This also means his future limit would be much higher than others.

More crucially, the integration of True Yuan and Qi-Blood would make explosive power more rapid, not restricted by the carrying limit of the body’s meridians.

And unlike True Yuan, which needs to flow through the body’s meridians to burst forth.

At this moment, he only needed a thought, and the power of the integration of True Yuan and Qi-Blood could burst forth instantly, in any part of his body.
