Chapter 498: Chapter 120: Break Limit, Physical Transformation! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!)

East Courtyard.

Pushing open the room door.

What caught his eye was a swath of white.

The cold wind howled, and heavy snow fluttered about, already accumulating a ten-centimeter thick layer in the courtyard.

The sky, too, was shrouded in gray, with only a dim light from the dawn.

The temperature had dropped about ten degrees compared to yesterday.

He estimated that the current temperature was around minus fifteen to minus twenty degrees Celsius.

This kind of temperature, although not quite like his previous life’s northern regions, was not much to sneeze at.

In his previous life, an era with highly developed productivity, such extreme weather wouldn’t have been much of an issue.

After all, even the poorest of the poor rarely lacked clothing, food, or shelter.

Most people still had the means to survive, so usually, no one would freeze to death due to harsh environments.

But this era was different.

The lower class was hardly different from ancient times in his previous world.

Lack of clothing and food was common, let alone warm clothing and heating necessities.

For the common folk to encounter such weather, suffering from cold and hunger was normal, and it was quite common for some to perish.

"I hope the Xie family will keep their promise and distribute grain. If they can do that, it would suffice!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself as he watched the snow falling from the sky and felt the chilling wind against his face.

Then, he turned and closed the door.

At this point, he could not bother with washing up.

Conditions for Breaking Limit of Five Animals Fist were all met; he now just wanted to see the effects after the Break Limit.

Just now, the space inside the house was too small, unsuitable for breakthroughs.

The courtyard, however, was just right.

There was enough space, and no worry about causing too much destruction.

With his current strength, a mere disturbance could easily level a house.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist+ (Break Limit three times 4000/4000) (Traits: Five Internal Organs Store Essence, Five Elements Spirit, Master of Fist Skill)

After taking another glance at his panel, he didn’t hesitate in his heart.

As his thoughts moved, the Source Energy Points rapidly decreased, and he stood amidst the heavy snow with his eyes closed.

In an instant.

His mind filled once again with images of extraordinary and fantastical beasts.

A fierce tiger amidst a sea of fire.

A Spirit Deer in an ancient forest.

A White Ape between the mountain woods.

...

Tiger, deer, ape, roc, bear.

Each one in his mind was extraordinary and mystical.

Especially their eyes, brimming with an expressive spirit.

The dominance of the tiger.

The tranquility of the deer.

The unrestrained nature of the ape.

The freedom of the roc.

The ferocity of the bear.

The five exotic beasts were exhibited in his mind, showcasing a 360-degree view without blind spots.

He continued to observe these five beasts.

As spring left and autumn arrived, as the sun rose and the moon set.

He didn’t know how much time passed.

All intricacies of the five beasts were displayed in his mind with striking clarity.

From the tiny details like hair and patterns to the larger aspects like limbs and overall form, all were deeply etched into Jiang Ning’s mind.

The next moment.

He exited this wondrous state.

As he opened his eyes.

"Young Master!" Lv Yi finally spoke.

Seeing Lv Yi dressed in a thick cotton skirt, Jiang Ning said, "Prepare the ink and mix the colors for me!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Yes, Young Master!" Lv Yi quickly responded.

The two entered the house, one after the other.

...

Inside the room.

Jiang Ning sat in a rosewood chair, continuing to close his eyes slightly.

He constantly envisioned the five Exotic Beast Maps in his mind, making sure that the memories of them wouldn’t blur.

For an ordinary person.

Even if one were to observe something intently, once they look away, close their eyes, all memories would still become vague.

It is impossible for any memory to be precise and clear down to the texture.

But at that moment, he had achieved it, with the images of the five beasts in his mind as clear and detailed as printed statues.

With his eyes closed, he visualized them repeatedly, reinforcing his memory.

A moment later.

"Young Master, the ink is ready!" Lv Yi spoke softly from the side.

At her words, Jiang Ning picked up the brush from beside him and began to paint on the scroll in front of him.

The last time he painted, he emphasized spirituality over physical form.

This time, he aimed to fully reproduce the physical form of the five exotic beasts from his mind to deepen his visualization.

He was very clear that the images of the five beasts were his greatest gain from the Break Limit of the boxing technique.

These five Exotic Beast Maps were also key to the current Five Animals Fist.

The next moment.

He still kept his eyes closed.

His mind continued to picture the tiger form.

On the scroll, a tiger amidst a sea of fire slowly took shape.

As he started painting, experience points for the skill of painting began to accumulate.

...

Time kept flowing by.

The daylight gradually brightened, and the snowfall outside lessened, though the howling wind persisted.

...

Dongling City.

Inspection Office.

"Gentlemen, Jiang Ning from Luoshui County has achieved another extraordinary feat."

"Jiang Ning, who is that?"

"Luoshui County, on the eve of the New Year, a single man with a bow quelled a large squad from the Black Mountain Army attacking the city!"

"Ah, it’s him!" With the reminder, everyone suddenly realized.

Then someone asked, "Residence Master, what extraordinary feat has he accomplished?"

"He killed two Fifth Grade Martial Artists from the God Worship Sect."

"Fifth Grade, that can’t be real, can it?!!"

"Yes, that can’t be real, right? How could he possibly kill them?"

"You don’t need to ponder over its authenticity. Consider this with me, what reward should we give? After all, the previous order was that killing a Sixth Grade Martial Artist from the God Worship Sect would be a major merit, rewarding fifty thousand Contribution Points. As for Fifth Grade, it wasn’t even mentioned, as we never expected anyone to achieve such a feat."

"Residence Master, I feel we cannot let our subordinate’s hearts grow cold. I am willing to provide the reward. I just hope you can assign Jiang Ning under my command."
