Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 88 - 17 Showing Holiness in Front of Others_2
Chapter 88: Chapter 17 Showing Holiness in Front of Others_2
Afterward, he smiled and said, “Have all the junior brothers seen clearly? Have you had any insights?”
“Thank you, Brother Jiang, for demonstrating the boxing skill! I have gained something!” someone spoke up.
The others also chimed in, “Gained something, thank you, Brother Jiang!”
“Great gains, not less instructive than Master Wang’s guidance, thank you, Brother Jiang!”
“Thank Brother Jiang!!!”
...
“…”
Elsewhere.
The two disciples guarding the entrance also turned their heads to look at the front yard of the Martial Arts Hall.
“He’s truly a freak!”
“Yes! Brother Jiang is really a freak!”
Another added, “I still remember the day Brother Jiang joined the Martial Arts Hall; his elder brother personally escorted him to the entrance.”
“I remember too, but at that time, we both dismissed what Brother Jiang said.”
“Yes! Now that I think about it, we were truly ignorant!”
“To be fair, it wasn’t our fault! Who would have thought that Brother Jiang had such immense talent!”
“Indeed! It’s just that Brother Jiang’s talent is too exceptional. To have such a boxing realm after only a month of practice, you would hardly find a few comparable in the entire county!”
“That’s for sure! Few and far between!”
“…”
In the front yard of the Martial Arts Hall.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries.
Jiang Ning then devoted himself to practicing boxing without distraction.
As for how much insight the onlookers gained, that was none of his concern.
Allowing them to observe him practice was already a significant help to them.
After all, the spirit and form he displayed while practicing boxing were indistinguishable from those Master Wang showed them in person.
This kind of help could be considered immense.
It was as if Master Wang himself was constantly practicing in front of them.
How much they could comprehend was then up to their own fate.
In the process of Jiang Ning’s diligent practice of the boxing skill, his Five Animal Fist experience value also steadily increased.
With every repetition of the boxing skill, he would gain an experience point, and he progressed closer to Perfection.
Simultaneously, he condensed four strands of Qi Blood Power with each practice, thereby inching closer to substantial Qi Blood Perfection.
Throughout the repetitive process of practicing boxing, Jiang Ning’s strength was steadily increasing.
His physique grew stronger under the nourishment of Qi-Blood, and his physical power continued to rise.
During these days, Jiang Ning already felt a significant increase in his strength, far surpassing the previous five hundred catties with one arm.
But as to how much power he actually possessed, he had no idea.
Because in the Martial Arts Hall, the heaviest stone lock was only five hundred catties.
A five hundred catty stone lock was already quite substantial.
Beyond that, using a boulder as a weight, the sheer size was a considerable issue on its own.
Only using fine iron, and repeatedly forged fine iron at that, could such an implement for testing greater physical strength be made.
But fine iron was too valuable, primarily used to forge sharp weapons.
Who would be willing to squander six or seven hundred catties of fine iron to create a tool for testing strength?
Therefore, at this point, Jiang Ning did not know exactly how many catties his strength amounted to.
He only knew that his current strength far exceeded five hundred catties and was no longer on the same level as before.
…
The next day.
Jiang Ning continued to practice boxing in the front yard of the Martial Arts Hall.
After Master Wang announced him as the sixth True Disciple the day before,
every disciple’s attitude towards him shifted dramatically once again.

Especially after witnessing Jiang Ning demonstrate the Great Success Boxing Skill of the Five Animals Fist, they were all extremely thrilled.
One round of the boxing skill concluded.
[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]
[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Great Success 583/1000)
With an additional experience point, several strands of Qi-Blood were condensed once again.
Jiang Ning then took out half a piece of wild ginseng from his bosom and popped it into his mouth. As he slowly chewed, the remnants of the wild ginseng mixed with his saliva entered his belly.
Under the powerful digestive forces in his stomach, the medicinal effects of the ginseng quickly took hold, and streams of warmth were born in his stomach, surging toward his internal organs and limbs.
“Brother Jiang, this is some medicinal wine prepared by my father, quite pleasant to the taste. Brother Jiang might as well give it a try,” a disciple hurriedly approached during a break in Jiang Ning’s boxing practice.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning opened his eyes, glanced over, and then shook his head, “Since it was prepared by your father and is useful for your martial arts practice, I’ll pass!”
The martial arts hall disciple quickly said, “Brother Jiang, you can’t say that! Brother Jiang is willing to let us watch your boxing technique, which is equivalent to Master Wang teaching us night and day. How profound is this kindness?”
“This is no less than the grace of Master Wang’s teaching!”
“I, Zheng Yongtao, am not an ingrate!”
“Please accept this small token of my appreciation, Brother Jiang, otherwise I won’t be able to watch your quintessence of boxing with a clear conscience.”
At these words, another person stepped forward.
“Junior Brother Zheng is right! Despite our previous disdain and neglect, Brother Jiang held no grudges and is now so generous, allowing us to freely watch the subtleties of the Great Success Boxing Skill.”
“Such magnanimity truly makes us feel ashamed!”
“Furthermore, the help Brother Jiang has given us—previously, even with a private teacher hired for a hundred taels of silver a month, we couldn’t achieve such effective results. How can we accept this with peace of mind?”
With these words, everyone began to speak up.
“The two brothers are right!”
“Yes! With Brother Jiang’s open heart and magnanimity, how could we comfortably enjoy these benefits!”
“That’s right! What the junior brother said is true!!”
“…”
For a moment, there was a tumult of voices.
After witnessing his practice yesterday, they knew this was an incredibly rare opportunity.
As long as Jiang Ning was willing to practice his boxing in front of them and demonstrate the subtleties of the Great Success Boxing Skill, it would greatly aid their own training.
Just as Zheng Yongtao had just said, it was as if Master Wang himself was personally demonstrating the boxing skills to them.
And it was a multitude of repetitions throughout the day.
Therefore, they had discussed among themselves and planned this gesture today.
After all, there’s a saying.
He who takes the piper’s money calls the tune!
Giving Jiang Ning some external items to build rapport and mend the previous rift was a surefire deal.
Moreover, with a contribution, equivalent to paying for lessons, they could make this arrangement more stable.
Looking at the compliments from these people and watching them bring out gifts as a token of their appreciation.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile, his mind as clear as a mirror.
He could naturally discern some of their underlying thoughts.
Not to mention others, he had heard their low discussions from a distance crystal clear.
After all, his hearing was terrifyingly keen now; hushed conversations were no different from speaking directly into his ear if he chose to eavesdrop.
“But this is actually a good thing! It’s no expense to myself, and yet I get some nice benefits for nothing,” Jiang Ning mused internally.
Afterward.
He spoke up, “Very well! Since all the junior brothers insist, I will accept your generosity!”
Having said that, everyone’s faces lit up with joy, and they presented their carefully prepared gifts, which included wild tonics, meticulously brewed medicinal wines, and pills to strengthen the foundation and enhance Qi-Blood.
At this moment, as the people saw Jiang Ning accepting their gifts.
A person who appeared to be the leader of this initiative stepped forward and saluted Jiang Ning, “Brother Jiang, I’ve reserved a private room at the Flower Building in advance, and I’d like to invite you to a banquet tonight!”
At the words ‘Flower Building,’ Jiang Ning knew this was a place of entertainment in Luoshui County.
He immediately shook his head, “Let’s forego the banquet! I still have to practice boxing and can’t let down Master Wang’s expectations!”
He knew he wasn’t yet entitled to enjoy.
Let alone entering the Ninth Grade of Martial Arts, as even his Qi-Blood had yet to achieve Perfection, he had no right to indulge.
Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, the man showed a look of admiration.
“No wonder, Brother Jiang, you’ve achieved such success after just over a month of practicing martial arts.”
“I greatly admire your self-discipline.”
After some brief pleasantries.
Everyone ceased to disturb him any further.
Jiang Ning took a couple more sips of the medicinal wine and resumed his boxing practice.
He could feel that he was very close to achieving Qi Blood Perfection.
