[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Beginner 8/100)
Dressed in a short robe, as Jiang Ning finished his boxing, a wisp of steam rose from his head.
He clenched his fists, feeling the several strands of Qi Blood Power that had grown inside him again. The gloom in his heart cleared away, and the gradual increase in strength made his mood turn to relief.
He approached the well in the front courtyard of the Martial Arts Hall.
Glug—
Glug—
Jiang Ning gulped down several large mouthfuls of crisp well water before taking out a red rectangular brocade box from his bosom.
Upon opening the red brocade box, he saw a piece of Wild Ginseng lying inside.
Jiang Ning pinched off a small piece with his fingertips, about one-tenth of the whole ginseng.
The moment that small piece of Wild Ginseng entered his stomach, he instantly felt it being digested and absorbed.
The Medicinal Power released by the Wild Ginseng transported through the Qi Blood in his body, quickly reaching his limbs and bones.
His body, which was somewhat weak and powerless from practicing Five Animals Fist twice, was now recovering at an exceedingly noticeable rate.
"Brother Zhou Xing really has a generous spirit! This Wild Ginseng truly aids me a lot!" Jiang Ning quietly felt the changes in his body.
Suddenly.
"Master Wang is here!!!" someone cheered.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes and immediately saw Wang Jin, dressed in a short robe, revealing his muscular arms, slowly emerging from the backyard.
At that moment, as Wang Jin appeared, everyone stopped their actions and stood properly in their places.
Wang Jin glanced at the spirited crowd and immediately nodded in satisfaction.
"Spread out and practice your boxing! I will point out each of your issues one by one," Wang Jin slowly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Thank you, Master Wang, for your guidance!"
Someone spoke up to Wang Jin with a bow.
The others also echoed with bows to Wang Jin.
"Thank you, Master Wang, for your guidance!!"
"Thank you, Master Wang, for your guidance!!!"
"..."
Seeing this, Jiang Ning also bowed with clasped hands.
He then paused to think for a moment, his eyes flickering, before moving to a vacant spot.
"Do not look around or whisper, show your full potential in your boxing!" Wang Jin walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back.
People then began to demonstrate the Five Animals Fist they had been deeply studying.
Wang Jin continued to walk forward, observing the boxing displayed by the crowd, his expression extremely calm.
At this moment, Jiang Ning also started to practice Five Animals Fist with his full strength.
He knew that this was an opportunity, a chance to show himself.
Under normal circumstances, Canglang Martial Arts Hall would neither lack nor recruit people.
Staying prolongedly in the Martial Arts Hall wasn't that simple for him.
So, he was very clear, only by showing himself, his Talent, his Value, could there be a possibility.
As Jiang Ning practiced intensely, his movement and breathing rhythm also synchronized with what he remembered from Wang Jin's practice of the Five Animals Fist the day before.
Continuously refining the intricacies of his movements and adjusting the rhythm of his breathing, Jiang Ning's performance became increasingly smooth, entering a unique state.
At this moment, Wang Jin's steps abruptly halted.
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes as he looked at Jiang Ning.
"Tiger Form Boxing reached the beginner level, is this... accomplished in one day? Early stage of Qi Blood?"
Wang Jin's steps barely paused for one breath, yet he continued moving forward, discreetly observing.
Meanwhile, he also occasionally corrected the other men's wrong postures and breathing rhythms.
Only with Jiang Ning, he momentarily couldn't find any noticeable mistakes, at most some negligible minor flaws.
The more covertly he observed, the more surprised he felt.
Suddenly, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.
At this moment, every move Jiang Ning made was powerful and grounded, as if his feet took root in the ground.
"Bear-shaped Fist also reached the beginner level?"
Wang Jin inwardly gasped, and at that moment, he had completed making a round around everyone.
"Continue practicing, don't stop unless I say so!!"
As soon as Wang Jin spoke, everyone's hearts tightened, and they dared not slack off in the slightest.
At this moment, Jiang Ning's mind had already forgotten everything else, free of any distractions, focused solely on practicing boxing.
Jiang Ning's boxing became faster and smoother as he practiced.
After finishing the Bear-shaped Fist, his body suddenly changed, and his breathing technique also changed.
At this moment, his movements were as agile as an ape, darting and turning in the confined space.
"Ape Form Boxing has also reached the introductory level!" Wang Jin's eyes narrowed, thoughtful, "Could this guy have mastered all Five Animals Fist?"
Thinking of this, Wang Jin felt a slight stir in his heart.
It's often said that a good master is hard to find, but so is a disciple who can inherit the mantle.
In his heart, Jiang Ning had now caught his eye.
Afterward, Wang Jin was in no hurry to leave, standing quietly in place, watching everyone practice boxing.
As long as Wang Jin stood still, so did everyone else.
Jiang Ning also shifted from Ape Form Boxing to Crane Form Boxing, changing his body shape and breathing technique again.
He ended with Deer Form Boxing, his movements transitioning from vigorous to gentle and soothing, his breathing rhythm becoming very slow and prolonged.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Entry level 11/100)
Seeing the panel before him, Jiang Ning felt thrilled.
"I've made progress past one-tenth! With this efficiency, I can break through the Five Animals Fist in just three to five days!"
On the other side.
"This kid has truly reached the real entry level of Five Animals Fist and has begun to condense Qi-Blood!"
"Not bad! Really good!!"
"He is much stronger than those kids who try to take shortcuts!!"
"Five Animals Fist without all five animals is not true Five Animals Fist!"
Wang Jin nodded slightly, satisfied after looking at Jiang Ning.
Then, he approached everyone.
"I will practice the boxing techniques again for you to observe today! Watch carefully, learn well!"
"Yes! Thank you, Master Wang!" Everyone bowed in salute.
The place then fell into complete silence within moments.
Wang Jin then assumed a stance, practicing boxing slowly in front of everyone.
His movements were not fast, in fact, they seemed somewhat slow to Jiang Ning, probably deliberately slowed down for everyone to observe.
After thirty minutes.
Jiang Ning watched intently, then closed his eyes.
In his mind, the Five Animals Fist that Wang Jin had just practiced replayed once again.
After a while, he opened his eyes and sighed inwardly.
"The Five Animals Fist demonstrated by Wang Jin was meticulous, absolutely textbook standard."
"Yet this standard version of Five Animals Fist is no longer of any help to me."
By this time, Wang Jin had already left.
The entire front courtyard also gradually became bustling.
...
The entire morning, with the help of the dispersing medicinal power of the wild ginseng, Jiang Ning rested for a moment but continued practicing boxing, not wanting to waste any medicinal power.
It's known that a wild ginseng is worth more than ten taels of silver.
With his understanding of current world prices, one tael of silver had a purchasing power similar to a thousand yuan from his previous life, which could support a poor family for an entire month.
The value of a wild ginseng in this world could support a poor family of four for a whole year.
How could he afford to waste it?
If he lost the help of wild ginseng, his efficiency in gaining Five Animals Fist experience would diminish significantly, and his strength would improve much more slowly.

The entire morning, as he practiced the boxing techniques repeatedly, the experience value of Five Animals Fist continued to rise.
Until before lunch at noon.
[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Entry level 14/100)
At noon.
After lunch.
Thump, thump, thump —
Jiang Ning knocked on the back door of Wang Jin's residence.
