Chapter 16: Chapter 16: A New Perspective



In the front yard of the martial arts school.

[After practicing the Five Beast Fist, a total of 2 experience points have been gained.] 

[Skills]: Five Beast Fist (Beginner 8/100) 

Wearing a short jacket, Jiangning finished his practice, steam rising from the top of his head. 

He clenched his fist, feeling the strands of qi and blood energy growing stronger within him. The earlier gloom in his heart was swept away, replaced by a sense of satisfaction as his strength steadily increased. 

Walking over to the well in the front yard. 

Gulp 

Gulp 

Jiangning drank several large mouthfuls of cool well water before taking out the red rectangular brocade box from his pocket. 

Opening the box, he saw a wild ginseng lying inside. 

He pinched off a small section, about one-tenth of the entire ginseng root. 

As the small piece of ginseng entered his stomach, Jiangning immediately felt it being digested and absorbed. 

The medicinal energy released by the ginseng quickly spread throughout his limbs and body, carried by his qi and blood energy. 

His body, which had been somewhat weak and exhausted after practicing the Five Beast Fist twice, was now recovering at a noticeable rate. 

"Senior Brother Zhou Xing is indeed generous! This wild ginseng is really helpful to me," Jiangning thought as he quietly felt the changes in his body. 

Suddenly. 

"Master Wang is here!!" someone exclaimed. 

Jiangning opened his eyes and saw Wang Jin walking out from the backyard, wearing a short jacket and revealing muscular arms. 

At this moment, as Wang Jin appeared, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood in an orderly manner. 

Wang Jin glanced at the energetic crowd and nodded in satisfaction. 

"Spread out and practice your fist techniques! I will point out each of your mistakes," Wang Jin said slowly, his voice not loud but reaching everyone's ears. 

"Thank you, Master Wang, for your guidance!" 

Someone bowed to Wang Jin. 

The others followed suit, bowing and expressing their gratitude. 

"Thank you, Master Wang, for your guidance!!" 

"Thank you, Master Wang, for your guidance!!!" 

"..." 

Jiangning also cupped his hands and bowed. 

Then, his eyes flickered as he thought for a moment before retreating to an open area. 

"Don't look around or chat! Show me your progress with all your effort!!" Wang Jin said, walking forward with his hands behind his back. 

The crowd began to demonstrate their progress in the Five Beast Fist. 

Wang Jin walked forward, observing everyone's techniques with a calm expression. 

At this moment, Jiangning also began to practice the Five Beast Fist with all his might. 

He knew this was an opportunity a chance to showcase himself. 

Under normal circumstances, the Canglang Martial Arts School wouldn't be short of people or looking to recruit. 

Staying at the martial arts school long-term wouldn't be easy. 

So he understood clearly that the only way was to showcase his talent and value. 

As Jiangning practiced with full effort, his movements and breathing rhythm gradually aligned with the Five Beast Fists that Wang Jin had demonstrated the day before. 

Continuously optimizing the details of his movements and adjusting his breathing rhythm, Jiangning became more and more fluid, entering a special state of focus. 

At this moment, Wang Jin's footsteps suddenly paused. 

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Jiangning. 

"The Tiger form has reached the beginner level? Did he achieve this in one day? And he's already generated qi and blood energy?" 

Wang Jin's pause lasted less than a breath, and he continued walking forward, subtly observing Jiangning without drawing attention. 

At the same time, he occasionally pointed out mistakes in the postures and breathing rhythms of the other practitioners. 

Only Jiangning couldn't find any major flaws, just some minor imperfections. 

The more he observed, the more surprised he became. 

Suddenly, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. 

Because at this moment, Jiangning's every move was powerful and steady, his feet seemingly rooted to the ground. 

"The Bear form has also reached the beginner level?" 

Wang Jin was inwardly shocked. By now, he had circled the group once. 

"Keep practicing! No one stops until I say so!!" 

Wang Jin's words made everyone tense up, and they dared not slack off in the slightest. 

Meanwhile, Jiangning's mind was completely focused, free of any distractions, purely immersed in practicing the fist technique. 

Jiangning's movements became faster and smoother. 

After finishing the Bear form, his posture suddenly changed, and his breathing rhythm shifted as well. 

His movements became as agile as an ape's, nimble and flexible within a small space. 

"The Ape form has also reached the beginner level!" Wang Jin's eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, "Could this kid have mastered all five forms and reached the beginner level in each?" 

Thinking of this, Wang Jin's heart stirred slightly. 

As the saying goes, a good teacher is hard to find, but a disciple who can inherit one's legacy is equally rare. 

In Wang Jin's mind, Jiangning had already caught his attention. 

Wang Jin was in no hurry to leave. He stood quietly, watching everyone practice. 

As Wang Jin remained still, so did everyone else. 

Jiangning transitioned from the Ape form to the Crane form, his posture and breathing rhythm changing once again. 

Finally, he concluded with the Deer form, his movements shifting from intense to gentle and relaxed, his breathing becoming slow and deep. 

[Five Beast Fist Experience +3] 

[Skills]: Five Beast Fist (Beginner 11/100) 

Looking at the panel, Jiangning felt a surge of joy. 

"Progress has passed 10%! At this rate, I'll be able to break through the Five Beast Fist in three to five days at most!!" 

On the other side. 

"This kid has truly mastered the Five Beast Fist and has begun to refine qi and blood energy!" 

"Not bad! Not bad!!" 

"He's far better than those kids who try to take shortcuts to stay here!" 

"If you don't practice all five forms, what's the point of calling it the Five Beast Fist?" 

Wang Jin nodded slightly, looking at Jiangning with satisfaction. 

Then, he walked to the front of the group. 

"Today, I'll demonstrate the fist technique for you again. Watch carefully and learn!" 

"Yes! Thank you, Master Wang!" Everyone bowed. 

The yard immediately fell silent. 

Wang Jin assumed a stance and began to slowly demonstrate the Five Beast Fist to everyone. 

His movements weren't fast. They seemed deliberately slow, likely to allow everyone to observe carefully. 

After the time it took to burn an incense stick. 

Jiangning watched intently, then closed his eyes. 

In his mind, he replayed Wang Jin's demonstration of the Five Beast Fist. 

After a while, he opened his eyes and sighed inwardly. 

"Master Wang's demonstration this time was textbook-perfect, every move precise and standard." 

"But such a standard demonstration isn't helpful to me anymore." 

By now, Wang Jin had already left. 

The front yard gradually became lively again. 

Throughout the morning, with the help of the wild ginseng's medicinal effects, Jiangning rested briefly before continuing to practice, unwilling to waste any of the ginseng's energy. 

After all, a single wild ginseng was worth over ten taels of silver. 

Based on his understanding of the current world's prices, one tael of silver was roughly equivalent to one thousand yuan in his previous life enough to support a poor family for a month. 

The value of wild ginseng was equivalent to a poor family of four living for a year. 

How could he bear to waste it? 

Without the help of the wild ginseng, his efficiency in grinding experience points for the Five Beast Fist would drop significantly, and his strength would improve much more slowly.

Throughout the morning, as he practiced the fist technique repeatedly, the experience points for the Five Beast Fist continued to rise. 

By the time lunch was served. 

[Skills]: Five Beast Fist (Beginner 14/100) 

At noon. 

After lunch. 

Knock knock knock 

Jiangning knocked on the door to Wang Jin's backyard.
