Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 116 - 43: Triple Power Explosion, Breakthrough in Sword Technique!
Chapter 116: Chapter 43: Triple Power Explosion, Breakthrough in Sword Technique!
Luoshui Lake.
Moonlight bright, stars scarce.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
Strong waves surged, splashing forth.
At this moment, Luoshui Lake was enshrouded in a layer of light mist.
Upon the vast surface of the lake, there were nothing but waves and mist, nothing else existed.
...
Only sparse lights could be seen from the distant shore.
Suddenly.
Whoosh—
Waves splashed across the surface of the lake.
Shortly thereafter, a head rose from the water.
It was none other than Jiang Ning.
He shook off the water droplets from his hair, then wiped away the trickling water on his face.
[Skill]: Canglang Blade Skill (Master 195/200)
“I’m just five points away from a breakthrough!”
He murmured to himself.
Afterwards, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the impure energy from his belly.
During this repetitive process, he could feel the plant essence in his belly continuously releasing medicinal power, constantly replenishing his stamina.
“I’m getting a bit tired!” he exhaled slowly and said to himself, “Practice once more, break through to small success with the blade skill, and then go back to sleep! Haven’t even had dinner yet!”
The next moment.
He dove back into the lake.
He began to practice his blade skills underwater.
As he practiced, the experience value for the Canglang Blade Skill continued to increase.
[Canglang Blade Skill Experience Value +1]
[Canglang Blade Skill Experience Value +2]
[Canglang Blade Skill Experience Value +1]
[Canglang Blade Skill Experience Value +1]
When the last notification appeared, the Canglang Blade Skill had accumulated enough experience value and smoothly achieved a breakthrough.
[Skill]: Canglang Blade Skill (Small Success 0/500)
At that moment, Jiang Ning closed his eyes immediately and stopped practicing the blade.
In his mind suddenly emerged countless images, all scenes of his blade practice from today.
One slash and then another; the continuous sword force and the undulating undercurrents were all dispersed by his blade.
Viewing these images, insight about the blade skill flashed wildly in his mind, emerging profusely.
With his eyes closed, those images replayed over and over again.
Each review made Jiang Ning feel as if he had practiced the blade skill once more.
Time seemed to lose its meaning, as though it was but an instant and yet also an eternity.
When he finally opened his eyes underwater, it seemed as if a flash of blade light flickered in them—sharp and brilliant.
His right hand gripped the long blade tightly, power circulating within his grasp.
Majestic and vigorous, ready to burst forth at any moment.
“Triple power!”
Jiang Ning felt the change inside him and his expression brightened.
The next moment.
He activated his power.
“Break—”
Underwater, he shouted loudly.
An inch before his mouth, water exploded.
His long blade also suddenly slashed down.
Boom—
A roaring sound resounded in front of him.
Under his blade, the water wave was instantly split apart.
The undercurrents rushing towards him also shattered.
The water in front of him was cleaved into a hollow.
Centering around the point where his blade tip fell, the lake water dispersed in all directions.
As though his single strike had cleaved a vacuum.
One breath later.
The lake water reconverged, quickly filling up the hollow.
Feeling the pain in his right arm like acupuncture, Jiang Ning cracked a smile.
The next moment.
He stepped on the lake water and swiftly rose upwards.
Soon, he was above the surface of the lake.
Exhaling deeply,
he took in the fresh air.
[Skill]: Canglang Blade Skill (small success 0/500)
After glancing at his panel again, his face instantly filled with satisfaction.
In less than a day, the Canglang Blade Skill had progressed from Master to small success, a tremendous improvement.
And his physique had indeed reached the realm of Stone Skin.
He had just slightly tested it and found that his current physique could barely withstand the explosion of Triple power.
It was much easier than when he had first reached Martial Arts Nine Grade with the resilience of cowhide, facing the explosion of two-layered power.
At that moment.
He stepped on the lake water, with half of his body emerging from the surface.
He switched the knife from his right hand to his left.
Then he clenched his right hand, still feeling the fine pain in his muscles, as if being pricked by needles.
“Although adding Triple power puts quite a strain on me, I can just about manage it!”
“With my current condition, bursting out more than ten times isn’t a problem!”
Jiang Ning thought to himself.
Then he nodded contentedly.
“Bursting out more than ten times, that’s enough! That should end the fight!”
“If I cannot kill with a Triple power burst, there’s no point in fighting, as the enemy would be far beyond my strength!”
Afterward.
He dove into the water, swiftly swimming towards the shore.
Even though the lake surface was still restless, filled with gusts and waves,
with his current strength and stamina, as well as his excellent Swimming skill, these waves could not affect him.
He swam through the water like a fish.
[Swimming Experience Value +1]
[Skill]: Swimming (small success 46/500)
“Small success level in Swimming makes me feel like a fisherman who has lived by the water for over a decade!”
“If I reach Great Success, Perfection, or even Break Limit, how exaggerated would my Swimming be?”
“If in the future a powerful enemy chases me, once I enter the water, I’ll be like a dragon entering the sea; who could catch me?”
Jiang Ning thought to himself, feeling extremely pleased.
Today’s unexpected acquisition of the Swimming skill, such a delightful surprise, put him in an excellent mood.
Afterward.
After feeling the changes in his Swimming skill, he made a decision.
He would continue practicing with the knife in water tomorrow.
He aimed to let his blade skill achieve a breakthrough to Great Success early and master the technique of adding Five Layers of power.
After the recent test of adding Triple power, he had a rough idea of his own physique.
Adding Five Layers of power might cause irreversible damage to his right arm.
But, when faced with a life-threatening crisis,
between losing his right arm and completely losing his life, any sane person knew what choice to make.
He didn’t necessarily need to use the technique of Five Layers,
but he couldn’t afford not to master it.
This was the difference between being proactive and being passive.
Moreover, practicing the Canglang Blade Skill in water would also quickly enhance his Swimming skill.
Just today, in only a few hours, this skill had progressed from beginner to its current level of small success.
With this rate, he could reach Perfection in just a day or two.
Even Break Limit would not take much longer.
In Jiang Ning’s view, whether it was the enhancement of the Canglang Blade Skill or Swimming, both were crucial for increasing his chances of survival.
With this panel, he knew that nothing was more important than staying alive.
As long as he lived, and lived long enough, he would eventually become invincible with this panel.
Therefore, he could elect not to use the Five Layers power, but he couldn’t afford not to master it.
Just as the saying goes, having no sword in hand, and having a sword but not using it are two different things.
Furthermore, if his Swimming continued to improve, being by the Luoshui River, should he face danger or encounter a powerful enemy in the future,
once he entered the water, that would be his domain.
He believed that once his Swimming skill reached Break Limit, normally speaking, no one in this world could surpass his Swimming skills.
