After leaving the meeting hall, Jiang Fa went straight back to the wing. The night had completely darkened.

He closed the door, lit the oil lamp, and placed the things in his arms on the table one by one.

The dim light reflected the animal skin booklet, celadon vial, and a thick stack of banknotes.

He was not in a hurry to watch the movie "The Waves",

Instead, he counted the banknotes one by one.

"One hundred taels per piece, ten in total, plus the remaining silver saved before the martial arts meeting and the one thousand taels sent by Lin Feng, the total is nearly two thousand three hundred taels."

"This money looks like a lot of money, but if you really spend it, I'm afraid it won't even make a splash."

He remembered that the incomplete copy of "The Art of Powerful Diamond" on the black market cost three thousand taels. His little wealth was really pitiful in the face of real martial arts resources.

It was a sigh of relief, but after all, it was thousands of dollars in vain. To put it bluntly, he had never seen so much money in his life.

Forcibly suppress the mentality of the nouveau riche.

He put the banknotes into the secret compartment of the wooden box under the bed, sat back on the edge of the bed, and then turned his attention to the book "Strong Waves" on the table.

Spread it on your lap and open it.

A long summary of the opening chapter is immediately eloquent to the eye. "The way of swordsmanship is ever-changing, but it never departs from its origin. The origin is force. The force is exerted in an instant. The waves are stacked one after another. The previous force is not exhausted but the subsequent force is generated. When nine overlap, it is like a violent wave crashing on the shore. Even an iron wall or a copper wall can be broken into powder."

He chewed on these sentences over and over again, and the more he read them, the more subtle they became.

The core concept of this sword technique is completely different from Cloak Saber Technique.

Cloak Saber Technique pays attention to "quickness", suppressing the opponent with a continuous flow of sharp knives without giving him any chance to breathe.

The Jingtao Overlapping Wave Slash emphasizes "stacking". After each slash is struck, the power does not dissipate and remains in the force of the sword. The second sword is stacked on top of it, and the third sword is stacked again. When the nine swords are stacked, the power can be increased several times.

"No wonder he is a middle-grade Xuan-level person."

He sighed secretly in his heart.

If Cloak Saber Technique is trained to the Transformation Realm, the power of the Transformation Realm will be at best that of a low-grade Xuan-level swordsman. However, if one can master this sword technique, even if it is only practiced to Minor Achievement, the power of Cloak Saber Technique will be far greater than that of Mid Yellow Grade.

But the sword technique is so strong that it is naturally not easy to practice.

He continued to scroll down.

The second page is a diagram of sword skills.

The routes and key points of luck are densely written next to it.

As he watched, he simulated it in his mind. The more he simulated it, the more he felt that this sword technique had extremely strict requirements on the circulation of Qi and blood. Before each knife was struck, the energy must be accumulated in the Dantian.

The moment the sword is drawn out, the force pours into the arm like a flood, and then extends into the sword body. The force is not exhausted in one slash, but a third of the remaining energy should be left in the sword force to overlap with the new force when the second sword is struck.

"Accumulate strength, draw the sword, reserve strength, stack strength..."

Jiang Fa murmured in a low voice, tracing the path lightly with his fingers on his knees.

He tried to mobilize his energy to circulate according to the meridian routes drawn in the book for a week. His Dantian felt slightly hot, and a surge of energy flowed along the meridians toward his right arm.

the next moment,

The panel appears.

[Shocking Waves (Middle Grade Xuan Grade)·Entry (0/1000)]

Done?

Just simulating the movement route, the panel has already recorded this sword technique, which means that his body has completely memorized the movement method of this sword technique?

Jiang Fa suppressed his excitement, closed "The Storming Waves" and put it aside.

Then he picked up the booklet "Broken Stele Finger" and opened the first page.

Different from the animal skins and silks used in "The Storming Waves", this booklet is made of ordinary yellow paper. The pages are yellowed and brittle, and the corners are severely worn. It has obviously been read many times.

"The pointing finger is a weapon of the human body. The fist has a fist surface and the palm has a palm edge. The knuckles are short and strong, and can gather all the strength of the whole body into a drop of land. The stone-shattering pointing finger uses An Jin as a guide and the finger bones as a weapon. With one blow, everything can be broken."

Jiang Fa read it from beginning to end, then closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.

The training threshold for this fingering technique is much higher than Mountain-Breaking Fist.

The first page after the general outline is an article on "Finger Bone Tempering Method", which involves soaking the hands in a special medicinal solution, and then using the medicinal power to induce Qi and blood to wash the knuckles repeatedly, making the density and toughness of the phalangeal bones far superior to ordinary people.

A total of seven kinds of medicinal materials are needed before and after, three of which he has seen at the Precious Ganoderma Hall, and they are not cheap, and the remaining four have never even been heard of.

"No wonder Master has practiced for twenty years before he can be as good as Major Accomplishment."

He whispered to himself.

This fingering method places too high demands on the physical body. Even if an ordinary An Jin warrior masters it, the strength of his finger bones may not be able to support the full backlash of the monument-shattering finger.

But Jiang Fa is different. Under the double tempering of Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art and the powerful Vajra Kung Fu, the toughness of his entire body's bones has long been far beyond that of his peers, and his finger bones are no exception.

He tried to follow the method of energy movement contained in the book and condensed a wisp of An Jin on the tip of his right index finger.

The moment the strength gathered, there was a slight tingling sensation on my fingertips, as if someone had pricked me lightly with the tip of a needle.

[Broken Stele Finger (Low Grade Xuan Grade)·Entry(0/800)]

Is this Entry?

Jiang Fa's face was filled with joy, and he immediately increased the intensity of the injection until the surface of his knuckles had a faint golden sheen.

He tapped lightly on the wooden table.

The moment the fingertips touched the table, there was a very light crisp sound.

The three-inch-thick elm board on the tabletop silently sunk into a circular pit the size of a finger. The edge of the circular pit was smooth and round, without a single crack.

Jiang Fa retracted his finger and looked down at his fingertips. The knuckles were slightly red and slightly hot, but the skin was not broken.

"Wearing Penetrating Jin so domineeringly."

If this fingering technique is practiced to Major Accomplishment, its power may not be as powerful as the surging waves under special circumstances.

Jiang Fa closed the booklet of "Broken Stele Finger",

The light golden aftertaste on the fingertips slowly faded away, but the knuckles were still faintly hot, like the remaining warmth of hardened iron after being immersed in cold water.

He moved his fingers a few times, and the joints made a crackling sound, but it was nothing serious.

"This fingering method suits me better than expected."

He thought to himself.

For ordinary warriors to practice the Shattering Stone Finger and want to exert its true power, just tempering the finger bones will take years or even decades of hard work. If anything goes wrong, the finger bones will be broken and the meridians will be damaged.

But with the foundation of his physical body tempered by Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art and the powerful Vajra Kung Fu, he directly skipped the most time-consuming bone tempering stage, and was able to concentrate on his fingers as soon as he started.

This was indeed an unexpected surprise for him.

After enjoying himself for a moment, he put the booklet into his arms and picked up the small celadon medicine bottle.

Open the cork of the bottle, pour out the elixir inside and hold it in the palm of your hand.

Yuan Ning Dan!

It looks about the same size as a longan, with a round body and a warm light blue sheen on the surface. When you get close to the nose, there is a refreshing medicinal fragrance that penetrates your heart and spleen.

"A Condensing Yuan Pill can save me a lot of time in hard training."

Jiang Fa took a deep breath, put the elixir away again, and did not take it in a hurry.

Having just gone through two fierce battles, my energy and blood have not yet completely calmed down, so taking pills at this moment will only achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He sat cross-legged, immersed in his thoughts.

The panel appears.

[Talent: Heaven Rewards Diligence, Learning Inevitably Bears Fruit]

[Realm: Middle An Jin]

[Exercise method: Mountain-Breaking Stance (Mid Yellow Grade)·Third level (899/1000)]

[Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art(Heaven Rank, Upper Grade)·Second level (624/3000)]

[Defense Vajra Kung Fu (Low Grade Xuan Level)·Third Level: Fu Fu Refining (1312/2000)]

[Guiyuan Condensation Technique (Middle Grade Xuan Grade)·Second Level: Hidden Form (998/1200)]

[Martial arts: Mountain-Breaking Fist(Mid Yellow Grade)·Transformation Realm]

[Cloak Saber(Mid Yellow Grade)·Perfection(341/1500)]

[Wind-Chasing Steps(Yellow Rank Upper Grade)·Major Accomplishment(553/1200)]

[Shocking Waves (Middle Grade Xuan Grade)·Entry(0/1000)

[Broken Stele Finger (lower grade Xuanjie)·Entry(0/800)]

Looking at the numbers on the panel, Jiang Fa raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Mountain-Breaking Fist has jumped from "Perfection" to "Transformation Realm",

After the Transformation Realm, the power of Mountain-Breaking Fist has been qualitatively improved.

More importantly, after practicing Transformation Realm in boxing, I have been able to understand the essence of "meaning" from it. Boxing is no longer limited to moves and routines, but can be done at will and at your fingertips.

Looking at the two eye-catching words on the panel,

Now he finally has a Transformation Realm martial arts that he can really master.

What surprised him a little was that he didn't know whether it was because of practicing Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art, but the speed of practicing the powerful Vajra Kung Fu was surprisingly fast, and the progress increased by nearly 200 points in a short period of time.

What surprised him the most was that the second level of the Guiyuan Breath Condensing Technique was already close to one thousand. It was only a little over two hundred points away from the one thousand two hundred Perfection. Calculating the time, it would only take half a month of hard work to break through.

At that time, he can officially start practicing the third level of Guiyuan.

Gui Yuan Yi Cheng, the three essences, Qi and Shen converge to the extreme.

Even if a warrior who is one or two levels higher than himself stands in front of him, he can't even hope to see his depth.

This seems to be another good life-saving trump card.
