Chapter 19: Skill breakthrough, strength improvement
Standing in front of the wooden stake.
Jiang Ning picked up the hatchet again and placed a thick log on the stake.
Just when he was about to chop, a loud voice suddenly came from his ears.
"Little guy, dinner is ready, come and eat!!"
"Okay, eldest sister!" Jiang Ning raised his head and responded.
In the kitchen, Aunt Sun, who was holding a tray, could not help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"This little guy has such a sweet mouth! Coupled with this handsome face, I will definitely be able to coax girls in the future!"
The other side.
Jiang Ning raised his head and responded to Aunt Sun.
Still holding the hatchet in his hand tightly.
The next moment.
The arm muscles suddenly bulge.
Whoosh——
There was a slight friction sound as the blade cut through the air.
Crack——
As the hatchet fell, the thick log cracked instantly.
Jiang Ning looked at the marks of the hatchet in front of him, his eyes slightly condensed.
“It’s nine out of ten that it penetrated the wood! It’s really different!”
A smile slowly appeared on his face, and then he exerted force on his palm, and the thick blade of the hatchet cut across the fracture of the wood. Lying.
Kaka——
The sound of wood fibers tearing continuously came from the wood in front of him.
Finally, with the heavy blade of the hatchet, he successfully separated the entire piece of wood. There were irregular tear marks underneath the bisected log.

“Just now, I could only penetrate 50 or 60% of the wood with a single blow of my full strength. Now that I have achieved proficiency in the wood splitting knife technique, I can only penetrate 10% of the wood. Eighty-nine, you have really become stronger!”
Jiang Ning nodded with satisfaction. He was extremely satisfied with the progress he had made in such a short period of time.
Then he put the hatchet aside and walked in the direction where Aunt Sun left.
Step into the main hall.
"Master!!"
"Sit!" Wang Jin stopped what he was doing and motioned towards Jiang Ning.
"Thank you, Master!!" Jiang Ning bowed and saluted.
After Jiang Ning took his seat, Aunt Sun placed a bowl of meat soup in front of him.
"Thank you, Sister Sun!" Jiang Ning took the bowl of meat soup and thanked Mrs. Sun.
"Eat quickly, little guy! You have been chopping firewood so hard just now, so you must be hungry already!" Jiang Ning nodded and smiled slightly shyly.
The next moment.
After taking a big mouthful of meat soup, a look of satisfaction appeared on Jiang Ning's face: "Sister's craftsmanship is so good!"
Aunt Sun laughed at the side.
Wang Jin said at this moment: "Eat quickly and continue to practice after eating! Aunt Sun specially added Dizhi to the meat soup today. Dizhi is a good tonic and is very useful for your martial arts training. Help."
"Di Zhi?" Jiang Ning's eyes lit up. He also knew about this tonic. The books he had read some time ago included an introduction to the medicinal materials, so he knew all the basic medicinal materials.
Although the value of Dizhi is not as good as that of wild ginseng, a complete finished Dizhi plant only costs one tael of silver.
The purchasing power of a tael of silver is not low. According to his estimation, it is approximately equivalent to the purchasing power of 1,000 yuan in his previous life, which can enable a poor family of three or four to live for a month.
“It’s really a good thing that I can stay in the martial arts school for a long time!!” Jiang Ning was secretly happy.
He immediately raised his head: "Thank you, Sister Sun!!"
Then he looked at Wang Jin, stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, teacher, for taking me in."
Wang Jin slightly Nodding: "If I don't give you wages, I can't let you eat and drink less."
"Teacher is joking!" Jiang Ning said seriously: "In front of this kind of dinner prepared by the teacher, wages don't matter. The teacher has done me a great favor, and I will never forget it in my life!”
One old, one young, and a sturdy middle-aged woman.
The old man is Wang Jin, the owner of Canglang Martial Arts School, the young man is Jiang Ning from Luoshui County, and the middle-aged woman is Aunt Sun, the owner of Canglang Martial Arts School. On the dining table, there was a large amount of meat, and next to it was a basin of meat soup and a large basin of rice. The rich aroma filled the entire hall.
Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning's extremely serious look, and when he heard those words, he felt a little moved in his heart.
Silent for a few breaths.
He said in a calm tone: "Eat it while it's hot! When it's cold, the effect won't be as good and the taste will become worse!"
"Yes, Master!!" Jiang Ning said respectfully. .
Afterwards, the two of them ate their dinner in silence, but Wang Jin was filled with thoughts.
Retirement and death!
These four words touched him greatly.
People who practice martial arts have not reached the state of inner strength. After thirty, their progress begins to slow down. After forty, they can only retreat, their energy and blood begin to decline, and hidden injuries in the body break out. After fifty, the sun sets over the mountains. , one day is not as good as one day.
Over fifty, he can already feel that his body is burning out bit by bit as time goes by.
At this age, he doesn’t think about glory, wealth or martial arts advancement. The only thing he thinks about is inheritance and a peaceful old age.
Jiang Ning's words undoubtedly hit the deepest part of his heart.
Although he had heard similar words before, never before did it feel as real to him as this time.
After secretly sizing up Jiang Ning, Wang Jin quietly looked away.
Take a look first!
The other side.
After Jiang Ning sat down, he was no longer polite.
A large bowl of meat soup was in his mouth, and he poured it all into his stomach in a few big mouthfuls.
Then he started his gobbling mode.
If in front of others, he might restrain his image, but there is no need in front of Wang Jin.
He knows very well the temperament of martial arts practitioners and also understands some of Wang Jin's style.
Being unrestrained, eating meat and drinking heavily will only gain Wang Jin's approval.
Although my own appetite would be a headache for ordinary families, as one person could eat as much as several people, it was completely insignificant in Wang Jin's eyes.
Wang Jin opened such a large martial arts gym in the inner city of Luoshui County, where land is extremely valuable, so his wealth must be far beyond his imagination.
My mere appetite is nothing to mention to a person like Wang Jin who is not stingy.
In a short time, Jiang Ning was full and full.
There was already a warm current in his belly slowly pouring into his limbs and bones, constantly replenishing the energy he had consumed before.
“Let’s chop wood to digest first, and then go practice boxing!” Wang Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ning’s belly and said.
“Yes, teacher!!”
Return to the small courtyard behind the kitchen.
The sky also darkened, and a bright crescent moon appeared above the head.
Jiang Ning came to the wood pile, grabbed a hatchet, and placed a heavy log on the stake.
The next moment.
He exerted force on his right arm, and the bulging muscles on his arm were clearly visible.
Whoosh——
The sound of the blade cutting through the air suddenly sounded.
What followed was a "clicking" sound of wood breaking.
This knife will most likely penetrate wood.
He immediately grasped the handle of the hatchet, exerted force on his palm, and the muscle texture of his right arm completely emerged.
Kaka——
A sound of wood fibers tearing was heard, and then it was completely split into two by him.
[Experience value +1 for the wood-chop technique]
[Skill]: The wood-chop technique (mastery 2/200)
“After reaching proficiency in the wood-chop technique, you can chop it without bursting out your energy and blood. Wood, this job is much easier!"
Jiang Ning smiled, feeling very good at the moment.
Because this means that the experience value of his liver splitting method is simpler, and only requires pure physical strength.
