(Vote for Monthly Tickets!!)_2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning said, “This is the Five Animals Diagram, an improved Five Animals Diagram.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five Animals Diagram?” Wang Jin was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then picked up the nearest diagram on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoing the red string that bound it, he slowly unfurled the rolled-up diagram in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly saw a fierce tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce tiger whose entire body was bathed in raging flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger was trapped in a cage, roaring furiously towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, the reflection of a raging, flame-engulfed tiger could be seen in Wang Jin’s pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several breaths,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly shifted his gaze and gently closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after a few more breaths,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes again, looking at Jiang Ning with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is just too incredible!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning asked, “Master, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of answering, Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve grasped the essence of the boxing technique, haven’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the question sounded doubtful, his tone was filled with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Ning slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely incredible!!!” praised Wang Jin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he became very emotional,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To have grasped the essence of the boxing technique, and one that is your own creation at that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who could have imagined?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re just too freakishly talented!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to a master of fist skill at your age, they are far behind you!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Wang Jin fully realized\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That the improved Five Animals Fist was not just an idea or aim of Jiang Ning, but it had become a reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cheaper apprentice had already, by practicing the improved Five Animals Fist, developed a true boxing essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this cheaply taken-on apprentice, Jiang Ning, might become a really big shot that would shake Great Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he was filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have thought that just a few months ago, when Jiang Ning had become his disciple to learn the skills, he now was already a top fighter who had mastered the boxing essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by mastering the boxing essence alone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jin felt that looking across the whole Luoshui County, Jiang Ning ranked among the top fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This coupled with the feeling he got when comparing strength with Jiang Ning just recently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood even more that his cheap apprentice’s progress in martial arts cultivation was now above his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have already entered the realm of Martial Arts Sixth Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jin came back to his senses and proceeded to open the other four pictures tied with red strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After viewing them all, he looked at Jiang Ning with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you demonstrate the boxing essence, the one that traps the Fire Tiger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please watch, Master!” said Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed, and the reflections of two flame-bathed fierce tigers instantly appeared in his pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boxing essence reflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Wang Jin also saw a fierce tiger, bathed in flames, looking at him with an intense gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this flame-bathed fierce tiger, Wang Jin instantly felt an inexplicable surge of heart palpitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight movement of the Qi-Blood throughout his body, he immediately felt suppressed by the boxing essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circulation of his Qi-Blood also slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning withdrew his boxing essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jin’s eyes still contained remnants of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the boxing essence that traps the Fire Tiger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can feel as if I might be completely torn apart by this flame-bathed fierce tiger at any moment, and the natural sense of fear makes me unable to act on my own will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder martial artists experience a huge increase in combat power once they grasp the boxing essence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Under the influence of your boxing essence, I feel like I can only exert sixty to seventy percent of my strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the formalities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning accompanied Wang Jin for over two hours of drinking before getting up to take his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Martial Arts Hall, he made a trip to the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving home at noon, he had promised Little Dumpling to buy her five candied haws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he went to the market and bought five candied haws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then rode a horse-drawn carriage back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he continued to flip through his books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned home,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before getting off the carriage, he took another glance at his own panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill]: Reading and Writing (Four times Break Limit 4887\u002F5000) (Traits: unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight’s settled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he entrusted Lv Yi with the task of seeing to the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself, carrying several strings of candied hawthorns, ascended the steps to the front door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump, thump, thump—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Uncle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be Uncle!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle has brought back rock candy hawthorns!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the chattering voices coming from the front yard, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it?” Liuu Wanwan’s voice followed shortly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law, it’s me!” Jiang Ning spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the tightly closed front door suddenly swung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning immediately saw Little Dumpling, standing behind the door gap with her mouth wide open, exclaiming in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah Ning, you really brought back five rock candy hawthorns for Little Dumpling!” Liuu Wanwan spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning smiled, casually ruffling the hair of Little Dumpling who had crossed over the threshold and was hugging his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A promise to a child can’t be forgotten!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One must always deliver!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, how disappointed Little Dumpling would be!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liuu Wanwan’s tone was gentle: “You spoil her so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing, Liuu Wanwan made way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning chuckled shaking his head: “This isn’t spoiling, it’s about keeping promises! Otherwise, they shouldn’t be made!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stepped over the front door’s threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the front yard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning handed the rock candy hawthorns he was carrying to Little Dumpling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dumpling’s two small hands instantly grabbed one in each, left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother! This one’s for you!” Little Dumpling raised the rock candy hawthorn in her right hand high toward Liuu Wanwan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother doesn’t want it!” Liuu Wanwan’s face revealed a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuanyuan doesn’t believe it!” Little Dumpling shook her head firmly: “Yuanyuan knows, Mother likes sour and sweet things too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Little Dumpling this way, Liuu Wanwan smiled, accepting the candied hawthorn Little Dumpling offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dumpling took another rock candy from Jiang Ning’s hand and ran towards the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Little Dumpling’s retreating figure, Jiang Ning took another look at the rock candy hawthorn in his hand, then said with a smile: “Sister-in-law, Little Dumpling is quite sensible, hasn’t gone awry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liuu Wanwan also smiled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two of them saw Little Dumpling return empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Jiang Ning also wanted to see how Little Dumpling would deal with the remaining two rock candy hawthorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Little Dumpling took the two rock candy hawthorns from Jiang Ning’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, come with me!” Little Dumpling grabbed Jiang Ning’s fingers and pulled him along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Ning let himself be led by the finger by Little Dumpling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came to the side yard and saw a snowman piled up in a corner of the yard, a round, one-meter-tall snowman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, look!” Little Dumpling stood next to the one-meter-tall snowman and solemnly introduced it to Jiang Ning: “Uncle, this is Xiaobai! He’s a friend I made in the winter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dumpling continued: “I promised to give my friend a rock candy hawthorn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her words ended, she inserted the tightly held rock candy hawthorn in her right hand into the right hand of the snowman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Little Dumpling had only one rock candy hawthorn left in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then skipped happily back to Jiang Ning’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, let me give you two bites first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she raised the rock candy hawthorn in her hand forcefully, holding it in front of Jiang Ning, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning bowed his head to look at Little Dumpling, then smiled as he bit off a piece of the rock candy hawthorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, is it tasty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tasty!” Jiang Ning said: “Sour and sweet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, you eat half, and I eat half! Uncle, have two more bites.” Little Dumpling looked up at Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he ruffled her hair: “You eat! I’m afraid of sour!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Uncle is afraid of sour, huh!” Little Dumpling seemed enlightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she stuck out her tongue and gently licked the rock candy hawthorn, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons and her face filled with a sense of bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The happiness of a child, so simple!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Jiang Ning reflected in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1499,"2026-05-29T16:07:09.208Z","2026-06-01T04:29:42.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","49602b4a5c9421fe7a5129830f705b6102c824b8b97a412ac75d874507c6b055","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-460","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-458",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
