In the courtyard.

After sending off Bai Luoyu.

Jiang Ning began warming up with his boxing practice.

The Five Animals Fist had undergone another breakthrough, not only allowing him to grasp the Fist Intent.

But also enhancing the effect of this cultivation technique.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[...]

After a round of boxing.

Woosh—

He slowly withdrew his Fist Force, exhaled a long breath, and his eyes revealed a trace of joy.

After completing a full set of boxing, he could clearly feel a growth of fifty strands of Qi Blood within his body.

He also remembered that when the Five Animals Fist reached Perfection, a single set could only increase by five strands of Qi Blood.

This meant that now, with the seven times limit-breaking Five Animals Fist, the efficiency in consolidating Qi Blood Power was already ten times that of the Five Animals Fist.

Two martial artists.

One martial artist practiced the Perfect Level Five Animals Fist for ten full years.

The other practiced the now seven times limit-breaking Five Animals Fist, needing only one year to equal the former's ten years of hard work.

Anyone with some understanding of Martial Arts would know this is an extremely exaggerated effect.

For the common martial artist, the most suitable golden age for martial practice is only about twenty years.

For every point the efficiency increases, the ultimate achievement in martial arts rises by one level.

An efficiency ten times higher is enough to cross the chasm of innate talent and physique, stepping into the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm.

Once entering the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm, the inner refining of the five viscera and six bowels would greatly boost physical functions, extending the golden age of martial practice by several years or even ten to twenty years.

If, due to the efficiency boost, one steps into the threshold of the Third Grade Grandmaster.

The difference becomes even greater.

Becoming a Grandmaster, the life level transforms, breaking the human body's limit of lifespan, allowing easy ownership of a lifespan of two Jiazi.

The golden age of martial practice can extend by several more decades.

Each change at every step might climb a tier because of increased efficiency.

On the path of martial arts, with each new tier climbed, a brand new world is welcomed.

At this moment.

Feeling that each set of boxing increased his Qi Blood by fifty strands, equaling ten times the efficiency of the Perfect Level Five Animals Fist.

He felt deeply amazed by the panel's magic, a true fortune belonging to himself.

Afterwards, he no longer practiced boxing.

He could feel the changes within his body no longer as intense as before, and the transformation brought by the second blood exchange was nearing its end.

The life level evolution was also coming to a close.

For the third blood exchange, what he lacked was not the key to invoking the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism into his body, but the support of physical strength.

During the second blood exchange, he could feel the substantial burden undertaken.

Following the previous foundations for the third blood exchange, he required external aids to ensure safety.

However, any external object that could aid a Grandmaster in blood exchange, increasing the success rate, was frightfully expensive.

To him, there was no cost-effectiveness at all.

Instead of being a fool throwing money away, he'd rather buy suitable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to increase his own Source Energy Points.

This not only enhanced his strength but also assisted him in achieving breakthroughs in skills, making his foundation even more robust.

Just like in his previous two blood exchanges, relying solely on his rich and powerful body to complete the blood exchange rather than being a fool throwing money away.

In contemplation.

He glanced at the panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (One Break Limit 5085/20000) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power)

"The progress has exceeded a quarter, now I need to fully increase the Experience Value of this cultivation technique!" The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

Then.

He began grinding the Experience Value of Vajra Immortal Body.

Just as Bai Luoyu left and from the news he obtained from Bai Luoyu.

He knew the current situation was obviously not peaceful.

The Cross Immortal Gate had established the Yingtian Alliance.

Their intentions were clear as day.

And now, the two major first-rate sects in Dongling County also joined this Yingtian Alliance.

In this case, how could there be no action?

At that time, he might face not just Fourth or Fifth Grade martial artists, but also Grandmaster level experts.

In his position, he had to fulfill his duties.

Since he assumed the role of Dongling County Patrol Envoy, he couldn't just sit by and watch Dongling County fall into chaos.

This was not only a merit, but also a duty.

Moreover, regardless of his past life or this life, he was born into an ordinary family.

He couldn't turn a blind eye to innocent citizens suffering due to the chaos.

He also understood that he already possessed considerable strength.

Facing the local sect powers in Dongling County, he had no need to be overly cautious.

But he also knew.

Many things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

The powerful were not just those visible on the surface.

Especially with the appearance of the mysterious woman in the Ice Coffin, he was even more aware that what he saw now was just the tip of the iceberg of the world.

Whether coping with future changes in the situation or preventing potential major foes.

He couldn't afford to relax in the slightest.

Strength was the foundation of standing firm, as well as the confidence within the heart.

...

In a blink, a day passed.

In the bathroom.

Steam swirled, and candle flames flickered.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (One Break Limit 8099/20000) (Trait: Dragon Elephant Power)

"Something's wrong!!" Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning slowly shook his head, frowning slightly.

Then he pondered.

"According to the previous efficiency, the Experience Value shouldn't have reached 8000!"

"Today, I actually spent less than ten hours grinding on Vajra Immortal Body's Experience Value."

"In the morning, I grinded for less than an hour before it came to noon."

"After arriving at noon, I spent a full hour breathing and releasing the Essence of the Great Sun to increase the progress of the Inner Elixir Health Care Technique."
