Chapter 93: Chapter 92: The Nameless Three Blades! Tiger Bone Mad Demon Fist! (Subscription Requested)

Black Tiger Heart-picking!

Fierce Tiger Jumping!

White Tiger Carrying Corpse!

Jiang Shu manipulated the treasured blade in his hand as if it were an extension of his arm, emitting a chilling cold light. With each move and form he practiced, his spine and limbs worked in unison, driving his Qi ever faster as his pores closed. Despite him holding back his strength, whenever the blade carved through the air, chunks of grinding stone stakes were cleaved into pieces, emitting explosive sounds. Martial arts with a grade were indeed different!

On the Proficiency Panel, Jiang Shu had cultivated the Thirteen Forms of Blade Technique to Great Success. The three forms of blade techniques passed down by Master Chou also, at this moment, officially reached entry-level!

It’s a pity, this blade technique, having only three forms. It’s an incomplete set of an unknown rank martial arts technique. If I could learn it all, an average Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist definitely wouldn’t withstand ten strikes from me!

In the Da Jing Dynasty, martial arts were categorized as Not Ranked, Lower Ranked, Middle Grade, Top Grade, and Supreme Grade.

Techniques like the Tiger Form trio were considered Not Ranked, which even a novice Martial Artist could practice. The Hungry Tiger’s Desperate Claw was a Lower Ranked martial art. If Jiang Shu were to classify it further, he would place it at the bottom tier. It was perfect for Martial Artists in the Skin Grinding Realm but insufficient in attack power for those in the Bone Forging Realm.

Whereas the unnamed three-form blade techniques imparted by Master Chou a few days ago, in his opinion, were certainly fragments from a Middle Grade martial art!

The three forms of the blade technique were terrifyingly lethal.

Black Tiger Heart-picking—slashing, stabbing, stirring, a heart-wrenching ordeal!

Fierce Tiger Jumping—chopping, cleaving, mincing, a gore-fest!

White Tiger Carrying Corpse—spearing, intercepting, collapsing, ensuring that corpses abound!

I’ve been scavenging benefits thus far, and Master Chou still has hidden treasures. A Refining Internal Realm powerhouse confined to a small county, and yet he possesses so many trump cards. The geniuses of the commandery cities, born into prominent clans, must have unfathomably deep foundations.

Jiang Shu sheathed his blade. He clenched his fist and took a deep breath. His body became a series of afterimages. His punches were fierce and wildly frenetic, like a drunken soldier wading through slaughter in the heat of battle!

Qi coursed through every limb and bone. The bones in his right arm were the first to emit a series of explosive noises!

Tiger Bone Mad Demon Fist!

Master Chou’s second martial arts technique imparted to him! A top-tier skill among the Lower Ranked martial arts!

Even though it didn’t match the Nameless Three Saber Strikes in terms of combat strength, it still offered benefits that other martial arts could not provide! The Tiger Bone Mad Demon Fist allowed one to consume their own Qi and blood to enhance bone forging efficiency! If used in conjunction with the Leopard Strength Tiger Bone Pill, this efficiency could improve by seventy to eighty percent or more!

No wonder those geniuses could progress so rapidly in their martial arts training.

Techniques, wealth, Companions, and land—there’s a reason why techniques and wealth are prioritized! Having just one of these could lead to a significant lead among one’s peers!

Right now, although I can travel between two realms, be it Xuanxing or the Da Jing Dynasty, my status is just too low. It prevents me from accessing the true techniques and wealth. To further my progress, I can only push forward in both worlds! In Xuanxing, enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, obtain higher permissions in Xia Country, exchange for weapons, and even for firearms! In the Da Jing Dynasty, leave Pingling County, traverse the great mountain, and head towards the commandery cities! Elixirs! Middle Grade martial arts! Geniuses who reach the Refining Internal Realm by the age of eighteen! Staying in a small county town will only wear away one’s ambition.

The Tiger Bone Mad Demon Fist, with its mere eighteen forms, could train every one of the two hundred and six bones in the body. As Jiang Shu’s fists flew, he resembled a genuine fierce tiger.

He practiced diligently day and night without rest. Desiring to leave Pingling County was not only his ambition but also a requirement from Master Chou.

Sending a letter. This Master Chou has been in Pingling County for over a decade. Sending a letter out—that would be to a friend he hasn’t seen in ages, wouldn’t it? Modern times are better; if there’s news, a quick message solves everything. And if you really want to meet, a plane would just fly over mountains like these with no danger. That’s not right, there are Mutant Beasts in the mountains, and definitely in the skies too. Planes aren’t safe either. I wonder if the pinnacle of martial arts in this world allows one to walk on air.

According to Master Chou, the Blood Exchange Realm invigorates the marrow. Training the marrow until it’s frosty, refining the blood until it’s like mercury. At its Peak, one possesses extreme strength of a hundred thousand catties, reaching the pinnacle of physical form. But even so, one can only reign supreme on land and can’t fly through the air. Beyond that, there’s only one realm name known. Its wonders and how to cultivate it—one needs to go to the commandery city, or even the state city to find out.

Unable to help fantasizing, Jiang Shu unconsciously shook his head and gulped down two large bowls of water to quench his thirst.

「Xia Country.」

「Jiangnan Academy.」

Jiang Shu, who had now reached entry-level with the Nameless Three Saber Strikes and the Tiger Bone Mad Demon Fist, loosened the taut string in his mind and lay on the soft bed, regulating his breathing.

As long as he could reach entry-level, the Proficiency Panel would allow him to grind any martial art to Break Limit! The Nameless Three Saber Strikes only had three moves, but after achieving Break Limit, would its power be comparable to a real Middle Grade saber technique? The Tiger Bone Mad Demon Fist could only temper the bones, but perhaps after achieving Break Limit, it could also strengthen parts of the internal organs? The thought was almost too exciting to bear! But this was going to take a long time. The higher the level of martial arts, the more time and effort it required to grind. It was proportionate.

Glancing at the safe where he had placed Master Chou’s letter, secure at his bedside, Jiang Shu fell into a deep sleep.

Visualizing a crystal.

His thoughts became calmer.

The slanted moon sank steadily.

Dewdrops gathered the light.

Waking up from a good night’s sleep, the cool breeze of the morning slipped through the window crack, bringing with it a hint of sweet coolness.

On the Great Dao, groups of academy students walked in pairs and trios.

Jiang Shu stepped out of the dormitory. In the span of over a month, he had spent most of his time practicing martial arts in Pingling County. In the academy, he lived a life of seclusion, only making appearances when exchanging resources. So when he arrived at the training classroom, his classmates were all surprised.

In the center of the classroom, Teacher Xie Feichen was unhurriedly performing a set of boxing techniques. It lacked any heavy killing intent, simply mimicking animal postures, similar to health-preserving exercises. The students below were also diligently practicing along.

In the academy, attending a class was not easy. Martial arts teachers had extreme freedom with their schedules; they determined their own class times. Basically, a month would see at most two or three lectures. Therefore, to improve, one must seize every opportunity.

"This is a new Health Care Boxing technique released by Xia Country," Xie Feichen said, his voice steady. "Although it doesn’t improve a martial artist’s combat strength, those in the Bright Force Realm are often overly fierce and lack softness. Mastering this Health Care Boxing technique in advance can help them grasp flexibility and facilitate the future transition to Dark Force." As he performed the Health Care Boxing, he seemed to become deeply involved, his temperament also becoming mild.

"Jiang Shu, why have you come to attend the class?" Shou Junming elbowed Jiang Shu and chuckled softly.

Having not seen each other for over a month, the students in the academy had all made their own progress. With sufficient resources, Shou Junming could feel his Qi and blood improving every day. He could feel his strength growing daily.

Now, he had an illusion. If he participated in the university martial arts talent competition with his current strength, based on the level of the contestants at that time, he would at least... make it to the second round! Isn’t that strong? That’s incredibly strong!
