• Jiang Ning checked his Five Animal Frolics Fist progress and expected to reach its Second Limit Break within two days.

• Jiang Ning tested the new trait with the Tiger, Bear, and Ape stances, drawing wood, earth, and fire power into his organs and increasing his Qi and Blood Power.
• Jiang Ning used a burning tree to gather fire-element power during the Ape Stance, then found he lacked nearby metal sources to efficiently temper his lungs with the Crane Stance.

Qingyi brought Ji Minghao and his younger sister to visit Jiang Ning, while Jiang Ning tested a Five Elements training setup that improved his Five Animal Frolics Fist practice. Ji Minghao heard Jiang Ning forging his bones and waited outside the courtyard, impressed by his talent and by Qingyi’s standing.

• Qingyi arrived at Jiang Ning’s residence with Ji Minghao and his younger sister, who praised Jiang Ning’s deeds after hearing how he had rescued children and eliminated gangs.
• Jiang Ning practiced the Five Animal Frolics Fist amid sources of all five elements and found that the setup nourished his five viscera and let him coordinate fist training with bone forging.
• Jiang Li led Qingyi, Ji Minghao, and his sister toward the East Courtyard, where Ji Minghao heard Jiang Ning’s bone-forging sounds and realized he had reached the Martial Dao Sixth Rank at a young age.
• Ji Minghao declined to wait indoors and chose to remain outside until Jiang Ning finished training, while Qingyi let him wait and called Jiang Li “Brother Li.”
• Ji Minghao reflected on Qingyi’s connection to a Princess Consort and the five Peak First Rank figures jointly known as Second Under Heaven.

Jiang Ning met Ji Minghao, an influential visitor from Royal Capital Shangque who revealed himself as Great Xia’s Eighth Prince and discussed the man-made disasters threatening the dynasty. After they agreed that private army controls must not be loosened, Ji Minghao befriended Jiang Ning and learned he was an Innate Spiritual Awakened.

• Jiang Ning finished training and welcomed Ji Minghao, who had waited outside in the snow to meet him and explained that he had come from Royal Capital Shangque to visit his cousin’s wife, Pavilion Master Lin.
• Ji Minghao revealed his privileged upbringing and Jade Bone cultivation, while Jiang Ning learned that Qingyi was married to an important figure from the capital.
• Ji Minghao told Jiang Ning that the year’s heavy snow and earlier Great Drought had been deliberately caused to destabilize Great Xia and spur rebellion.

• Jiang Ning produced wine with his Summoning Ring, and Ji Minghao recognized him as an Innate Spiritual Awakened with Immortal Potential.

Jiang Ning learned that the mysterious substance in his wine might be Emperor Flow Paste and received a military token from Ji Minghao. Ji Minghao then brought Jiang Ning to meet his Seventeenth Sister, while He Jinsheng’s hostile visit foreshadowed further conflict with the Qinghe Earl Residence.

• Ji Minghao guessed that Jiang Ning’s mysterious substance was Emperor Flow Paste, and Jiang Ning suspected the black stone was a Taiyin Stone.
• He Jinsheng visited Jiang Ning’s residence but left after seeing Ji Minghao, dismissing both men and revealing his contempt for Jiang Ning.
• Jiang Ning told Ji Minghao about his dispute with the Qinghe Earl Residence but concealed that he had killed He Jinyun.
• Ji Minghao gave Jiang Ning his identity token, which allowed him to mobilize troops, and urged him to consider marrying the Seventeenth Princess.
• Jiang Ning and Ji Minghao entered the front hall, where the Seventeenth Princess saw Jiang Ning and shyly avoided his gaze.

Jiang Ning met Ji Mingyue, who boldly asked him to come to the Royal Capital and marry her, while Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan discussed her royal connections and agreed to visit her family in spring. Jiang Ning then considered the political and martial opportunities ahead and prepared to cultivate, hoping to explain his promise to Ji Mingyue when he reached the Royal Capital next year.

• Qingyi introduced Jiang Ning to Ji Mingyue, and the two exchanged names and greetings as Ji Mingyue grew more confident around him.
• Ji Mingyue held Jiang Ning’s hand, asked him to remember to come to the Royal Capital and marry her, and left with Qingyi and Ji Minghao.
• Liu Wanwan told Jiang Li that Ji Mingyue was likely descended from a royal house, and Jiang Li persuaded Liu Wanwan to take their children to visit her parents in spring.
• Jiang Ning considered He Jinsheng’s ambiguous attitude, the risks of using Ji Minghao’s identity token, and Ji Minghao’s advice to pursue official rank and take the martial examinations.
• Jiang Ning resolved to explain his promise to Ji Mingyue when he went to the Royal Capital for the Martial Champion examination, then arranged a five-element cultivation environment.

Qingyi visited Jiang Ning and delivered the Earth Core Warm Jade that Little Seventeen had sent as a love token, along with her promise to marry him in a year. Jiang Ning accepted the priceless jade and wore it around his neck, while Qingyi ended by teasing him about looking at her legs.

• Qingyi visited Jiang Ning and explained that she was a Pure Body, not a child's mother or a Princess Consort in the way he had assumed.
• Qingyi told Jiang Ning that Little Seventeen had sent him a love token and wanted him to come to the Royal Capital in a year to marry her.
• Qingyi explained that the Earth Core Warm Jade was worth ten thousand gold and could nurture Blood Qi, calm the mind, and increase Spiritual Power.
• Qingyi tied the jade around Jiang Ning's neck, and he felt its warmth improve his Blood Qi and clear his mind.
• Jiang Ning said he would likely return the jade to Little Seventeen, and Qingyi teased him after noticing him looking at her legs.

Jiang Ning turns down Qingyi’s matchmaking efforts, then continues cultivating as his Five Animal Frolics Fist, Mystic Bone forging, and Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill advance. On a rare clear day, he prepares to test whether his strengthened five viscera can improve his absorption of Great Sun Essence Qi.

• Qingyi teases Jiang Ning and offers to introduce him to Li Mujin, but he declines and cites his agreement with Ji Mingyue.
• Ji Mingyue tells Ji Minghao that she has taken a fancy to Jiang Ning after meeting him once.
• Jiang Ning reviews his rising Flesh Regeneration Authority progress and sees that his bones are gradually transforming into Mystic Bone.

• Jiang Ning welcomes a clear day and plans to test whether the Five Elements Spirit has strengthened his five viscera enough to improve his Great Sun Essence Qi cultivation.

Jiang Ning cultivated Great Sun Essence Qi and greatly increased his Inner Breath, then prepared to sell a Golden Box to gain enough Source Energy for a Five Animal Frolics Fist breakthrough. He headed to Myriad Blossom Pavilion while nearing the Mystic Bone Realm.

• Jiang Ning absorbed Great Sun Essence Qi, refining up to five strands of Inner Breath per breath at first and gaining 95 experience points during a two-hour session.
• Jiang Ning realized his Inner Breath had reached the river-like level and decided to raise his official rank to access information about the Fifth Grade and above.
• Jiang Ning continued training through several snowy days, accumulated more Inner Breath, and nearly completed Bone Forging toward the Mystic Bone Realm.
• Jiang Ning checked his Panel and found that Five Animal Frolics Fist had reached its experience limit, but he still needed Source Energy Points for its Threefold Breakthrough.
• Jiang Ning recovered in the lake, changed into dry clothes, and set out for Myriad Blossom Pavilion to sell the Golden Box and buy treasures.

Jiang Ning traded a gold brick for rare treasures at Myriad Blossom Pavilion, then bought a Miao Yan Spirit Fruit after learning it contained water and fire spiritual essence. He also secured Luyi’s freedom, and the chapter ended with him wondering whether the fruit would strengthen his Water Fire True Force.

• Jiang Ning asked Luyi whether she wanted to redeem herself and promised to speak to Qingyi on her behalf.
• Luyi weighed Jiang Ning’s gold brick, and he exchanged it for available medicinal treasures before asking Han Hongmei about ancient Immortal Treasures.

• Qingyi destroyed Luyi’s sale contract, freed her, and told her to live with Jiang Ning and care for him.
• Jiang Ning opened the Miao Yan Spirit Fruit in his carriage and considered whether its water and fire essence would benefit his Water Fire True Force.

• Jiang Ning absorbed the Miao Yan Spirit Fruit’s spiritual nature, gaining 1,637 Water Fire True Force Experience Points.
• Luyi asked Jiang Ning to take her in as his attendant, and he agreed after judging her trustworthy enough to observe further.
• Jiang Ning cleared the courtyard snow with a controlled burst of Inner Breath, then found his Source Energy had increased by more than 300 points.
• Jiang Ning decided to pursue Han Hongmei’s Five Elements Spirit Fruits, believing they could nourish his five viscera, though their discounted price was still eighty thousand taels.
• Jiang Ning spent 500 Source Energy Points to break through the Five Animal Frolics Fist, gaining new insights and a transformation in both arms.

Jiang Ning gained the Fist Art Grandmaster trait, comprehended five forms of fist momentum, and advanced his training while consuming powerful medicinal ingredients. Meanwhile, a cult Spirit Envoy arrived in Luoshui County to find the person who destroyed the Divine Embryo and slipped over the city wall.

• Jiang Ning awakened the Fist Art Grandmaster trait and comprehended five kinds of fist momentum, which he stored in his five viscera.
• Jiang Ning's Trapped Tiger Momentum frightened Luyi unconscious, so he caught her and warned her that watching his training could be dangerous.
• Jiang Ning cleared the courtyard snow with his Inner Breath, ate the gathered Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and resumed bone-forging practice as his Blood Qi surged.
• A cult Spirit Envoy followed a black finger to Luoshui County, seeking the person who destroyed the Divine Embryo under the god's decree.
• The Spirit Envoy watched the city's defenses and vaulted over the wall while patrols were sparse.

Jiang Ning continued training through the blizzards and completed tempering all 206 bones into flawless Mystic Bones. Meanwhile, Spirit Envoy Feng identified Jiang Ning as the one who destroyed the God Worshipping Sect’s Divine Embryo and prepared to confront him.

• Jiang Li checked his progress, cleared the snow from his courtyard, and accepted meat paste and help with his hair from Luyi.
• Jiang Ning trained in seclusion through several days of blizzards while Jiang Li described the frozen dead he had encountered on patrol.
• Protector Xing met Spirit Envoy Feng at Cloud Arriving Inn and explained that the sect’s local members had been wiped out and its Divine Embryo destroyed.
• Spirit Envoy Feng learned that Jiang Ning was the suspected culprit and asked Protector Xing to take him to Jiang Ning’s estate.
• Jiang Ning completed the final three hammer strikes, used nine Mystic Bone Pills, and finished tempering all 206 bones into pure dark Mystic Bones.
• Spirit Envoy Feng pointed a pitch-black finger at Jiang Ning from afar and confirmed that he had destroyed the sect’s Divine Embryo.

After completing Bone Forging, Jiang Ning recognized the God Worshipping Sect’s pursuit and drew Spirit Envoy Feng and Protector Xing away from the city to the Desolate Island. He prepared to seize the divine finger and face the two sect members on ground of his choosing.

• Jiang Ning overheard Spirit Envoy Feng and Protector Xing discussing the destroyed Divine Embryo and sensed a powerful attraction between himself and the God of Flesh and Blood’s divine finger.
• Jiang Ning identified the two men as members of the God Worshipping Sect, then left his courtyard to keep a fight away from his family and nearby residents.
• Spirit Envoy Feng and Protector Xing followed Jiang Ning toward Luoshui, while Jiang Ning assessed their Fifth Grade strength against his own cultivation and hidden abilities.
• Jiang Ning traveled across the frozen lake toward the Desolate Island, using his inner breath to tear off a bamboo pole and ride it over the snow.
• Jiang Ning reached the island’s cliff and began climbing toward the battlefield he had chosen, while Spirit Envoy Feng suspected that Jiang Ning had spotted their pursuit.

Jiang Ning used his archery to fight Spirit Envoy Feng and Protector Xing on the frozen Luo River Lake, wounding both and forcing Protector Xing into the water. Spirit Envoy Feng continued toward Jiang Ning as Protector Xing assessed his serious arm injury and decided he could stay out of the ambush.

• Jiang Ning spotted Spirit Envoy Feng and Protector Xing approaching, then shot Spirit Envoy Feng with an ordinary arrow that wounded his palm despite his defensive Inner Breath.
• Jiang Ning unleashed a Wind Thunder Arrow, and Spirit Envoy Feng used his Surging Waves technique to deflect it into the ice, where it exploded.
• Jiang Ning shot at Protector Xing, who tried to block the arrow with his fist; it shattered the flesh and damaged his Jade Bone before knocking him through the ice into the lake.
• Spirit Envoy Feng moved toward Jiang Ning and angrily condemned Protector Xing for taking the arrow head-on.
• Protector Xing examined his badly damaged right hand underwater and concluded that recovery would take at least one or two months, leaving him unable to join the ambush.

Jiang Ning kept Spirit Envoy Feng at a distance with a relentless barrage of Wind Thunder Arrows until Feng transformed into his six-armed, four-legged Divine Descendant State. Feng then shrugged off the arrows and advanced to within three hundred meters, while Jiang Ning put away his bow and waited on the cliff, leaving Protector Xing wondering what other strength he was relying on.

• Jiang Ning repeatedly shot Spirit Envoy Feng with Wind Thunder Arrows, forcing Feng to spend more than half his Inner Breath deflecting them without making much progress.
• Spirit Envoy Feng transformed into the Divine Descendant State, growing to six arms and four legs and healing his wounds almost instantly.
• Spirit Envoy Feng began smashing or sweeping aside Jiang Ning’s arrows and rapidly closed the distance, reaching three hundred meters from the cliff.
• Jiang Ning put away his nearly ruined longbow and waited for Feng, eager to test his strength in close combat.
• Protector Xing wondered why Jiang Ning was not fleeing and speculated that he had another means of resisting Feng.

Jiang Ning fought Spirit Envoy Feng in his Six-Armed Divine Descendant form, using his Fist Momentum and Five Animal Frolics to withstand the stronger opponent and grow tougher with each clash. Protector Xing recognized that Feng’s failure to end the battle quickly could leave him losing his reason and becoming a Divine Puppet.

• Jiang Ning waited until Spirit Envoy Feng reached the cliff, then struck with a Ferocious Tiger Fist Momentum that shook Feng’s mind and weakened his fighting strength.
• Jiang Ning and Feng exchanged repeated blows, with Jiang Ning recovering from each injury and growing stronger as his body broke down and rebuilt itself.
• Protector Xing saw Jiang Ning change among the tiger, White Ape, Fierce Bear, Crane, and Deer forms and wondered whether his fighting style was the Five Animal Frolics Fist.
• Protector Xing realized Feng had effectively lost because his Six-Armed Divine Descendant transformation had not ended the fight swiftly and threatened to erode his reason.
• Protector Xing recalled that the God Worshipping Sect’s transformed fighters could become mindless Divine Puppets, explaining why he had avoided the transformation for over a year.

Jiang Ning used his Authority, Mysterious Bone, and five kinds of Fist Momentum to endure Spirit Envoy Feng’s Six-Armed Divine Descendant form while growing stronger. After unlocking Wind Thunder Breath and gaining overwhelming speed, Jiang Ning seized control of the fight and prepared to test his Threefold Breakthrough Water Fire True Force.

• Jiang Ning traded blows with Spirit Envoy Feng’s Six-Armed Divine Descendant, healing his injuries and refining his body and Fist Momentum with every clash.
• Spirit Envoy Feng rejected the thought of retreating and intensified his attacks, while Protector Xing watched from a distance and recognized Jiang Ning’s progress.
• Jiang Ning completed his Mysterious Bone transformation, increasing his physical strength by about twenty percent, and used Wind Thunder Breath to move far faster than Spirit Envoy Feng.
• Jiang Ning’s speed let him evade and repeatedly counterattack the Six-Armed Divine Descendant, leading Protector Xing to conclude that Spirit Envoy Feng had lost.
• After more than ten collisions, Jiang Ning decided to test his Threefold Breakthrough Water Fire True Force on Spirit Envoy Feng.

Jiang Ning fought Spirit Envoy Feng’s Six-Armed Divine Descendant form, then lured him into the lake to recover and exploit his advantage in the water. He killed Spirit Envoy Feng with Dragon Abyss and second-level Blade Intent, then turned his attention to Protector Xing above the ice.

• Jiang Ning’s Fire Tiger Fist Momentum weakened Spirit Envoy Feng, and Water Fire True Force spread wounds that resisted healing, but Jiang Ning realized he could not kill the Divine Descendant by relying on punches alone.
• Jiang Ning fled toward the cliff as Spirit Envoy Feng pursued him with high-speed stone attacks, and both leaped into the lake.
• Jiang Ning recovered his strength underwater and used his swimming and Water Control Technique to keep Spirit Envoy Feng from catching him.
• Jiang Ning drew Dragon Abyss and used second-level Blade Intent to restrict Spirit Envoy Feng’s movements, then slashed him apart and severed his head.
• After Spirit Envoy Feng’s life force faded, Jiang Ning looked toward Protector Xing above the ice and prepared to test his strength against him.

Jiang Ning killed Protector Xing after trapping him in the lake, then harvested the Authorities from the God of Flesh and Blood’s finger. He left the corpses hidden for later rewards and used Divinity to strengthen Flesh Regeneration, discovering that his wounds now healed almost instantly.

• Jiang Ning absorbed five points of Divinity and fragments of Flesh Regeneration and Divine Descendant Subordinate from the black finger, then pursued Protector Xing.
• Jiang Ning used the Water Control Technique to trap and slow Protector Xing, who could not escape despite unleashing his Inner Breath.
• Protector Xing accepted his death rather than transform into a monster, and Jiang Ning decapitated him.
• Jiang Ning hid Protector Xing and Spirit Envoy Feng’s corpses in an underwater cave, planning to claim the rewards and seek promotion when the Patrol Office reopened.
• Jiang Ning spent one point of Divinity to improve Flesh Regeneration, then tested it and watched a deep cut heal completely in less than two breaths.

After killing two powerful God Worshipping Sect subordinates, Jiang Ning returned home and tested his incomplete Divine Descendant Subordinate Authority on Luyi by feeding her his blood. The test created a Divine Descendant Mark in Luyi’s mind, allowing Jiang Ning to sense her feelings and control or release the bond.

• Jiang Ning found that his Flesh Regeneration Authority had improved, while Divine Descendant Subordinate was too broken to enhance with Divinity.
• Jiang Ning returned from Desolate Island, considered himself the strongest in Luoshui County below Fifth Grade Peak, and resolved to learn more about higher martial ranks.
• Jiang Ning asked Luyi if she wanted to learn martial arts and chose her as the first person on whom to test his Divine Descendant Subordinate Authority.
• Jiang Ning cut his wrist, healed the wound, and made Luyi swallow the blood, which caused her body to grow intensely hot.
• Jiang Ning sensed a Divine Descendant Mark in Luyi’s mind and discovered he could feel her emotions, withdraw his power, or shatter the mark to free her.

Jiang Ning tested the effects of his Divine Descendant Subordinate Authority on Luyi, discovering that his blood greatly increased her strength but left him feeling slightly depleted. He decided to write down his improved Five Animal Frolics and seek Master Wang’s permission before teaching it to her.

• Jiang Ning confirmed through Luyi’s Divine Descendant Mark that she felt no malice toward him, then observed her reaction to the blood he had bestowed.
• After dressing, Luyi tested her strength and lifted a three-hundred-catty Stone Dumbbell, then reached five hundred catties after Jiang Ning continued enhancing her.
• Jiang Ning realized that strengthening Luyi drained some of his own vitality, while Luyi thanked him and resolved to learn martial arts.
• Jiang Ning planned to teach Luyi his improved Five Animal Frolics, but decided to consult Master Wang and first transcribe the technique’s manual.
• Jiang Ning prepared to paint the Five Animal Frolics’ five figures as the basis for recording its revised conception.

Jiang Ning wrote the Five Animal Frolics Fist Third Level manual to advance his Literacy skill and prepare for a Fifth Limit Break, while gloomy weather prevented him from cultivating with Great Sun Essence Qi. He painted the first of the five spirits, a Trapped Fire Tiger, unlocked the Painting Dao skill, and continued working on the remaining paintings.

• Jiang Ning wrote the Five Animal Frolics Fist manual while Luyi brewed tea, gaining Literacy Experience Points and nearing his Fifth Limit Break.
• Jiang Ning lamented that overcast weather had stopped him from absorbing Great Sun Essence Qi and delayed his Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill’s progress.
• Jiang Ning wrote the Five Animal Frolics Fist Third Level manual and recorded his insights into martial arts breakthroughs.
• Jiang Ning meditated on a Trapped Fire Tiger and painted it onto a scroll, adding flames to its eyes with two drops of ink.
• Jiang Ning unlocked the Painting Dao skill, and Luyi recoiled after sensing the tiger’s fury as he continued painting.
