“Reaching the Third Rank, you can choose one martial art.”
“Before, the choices were all speed-type enhancing martial arts.”
“This time, it’s not going to work. I need something that enhances my attack methods.”
Ning An thought silently, finally choosing the Blazing Sun Sword Technique.
Heart like the blazing sun, sword cuts through flames!
This was a sword technique that leaned towards a more domineering style.
The cultivation requirements weren’t very high, but it was very practical.
He didn’t have high demands for martial arts at this point.
After all, there was a limit to the time his talent refreshed.
Choosing a difficult martial art would be foolish.
Martial art proficiency is roughly divided into Entry, Proficient, Mastered, and Subtle.
He previously had two martial arts that had reached the Mastered level,
one was the Eight Trigrams Step, and the other was the Quick Blade Slash!
It took him several years to master both of these.
That was the reason he continued to choose another sword technique this time.
With a foundation and talent bonus, it would quickly reach proficiency.
Just as Ning An thought, this Blazing Sun Sword Technique had five forms, and he reached Entry level in just three days.
Normally, it would take at least half a month.
That was the benefit of double talent!
It wasn’t simply one plus one, it created a qualitative change.
Of course, his previous sword technique foundation couldn’t be ignored.
After reaching Entry, Ning An trained in martial arts in the morning.
In the afternoon, he read in the library about the insights left by predecessors on the Fourth Rank.
Although Nanjiang Martial Arts University had not been established for long,
the Shenxia Federation brought many people with them at its founding.
There were a few High-Rank martial artists like Jiang He Kang.
Middle-Rank martial artists were even more numerous, not to mention those who had broken through later.
There were over a hundred Fourth-Rank insights.
Ning An specifically chose those that were more suitable for him.
The breakthroughs of geniuses were simply beyond his reach.
He didn’t need to waste time trying.
At night, Ning An continued to cultivate.
He lived a life of almost complete routine, day after day.
This continued for half a month.
The Blazing Sun Sword Technique had already reached the Proficient level.
His attack methods had grown significantly.
At the peak of the Third Rank, his blood circulation had reached a peak state.
“It’s time to try breaking through!”
Ning An’s eyes sparkled as he murmured softly.
The best place to break through was undoubtedly the Nanjiang Battlefield.
Previously, after considering all the insights, he decided on the path most suited for him.
It was to temper his martial will through slaughter.
This was the most common method for breaking through to the Fourth Rank.
It was also the path most suitable for an ordinary martial artist like Ning An.
He wanted to become a genius, but his talent held him back.
Unless he could someday get a Mall-type ability.
Then he could obtain some special objects that could change his talent.
Unfortunately, such things were not easy to come by.
Talent undoubtedly determined one’s fate, and the value of significantly altering one’s talent went without saying.
Look at the previous Wisdom Spirit Fruit!
Even just maximizing potential before becoming a martial artist was priceless.
It was normal for it to be bought at a premium.
Before entering the battlefield!
Ning An went to the school’s logistics department and spent 10,000 Spirit Stones to choose a Third-Rank long sword that suited him.
Besides that, battle armor was also indispensable.
As his strength increased, his previous armor was no longer suitable.
Fortunately, the school offered discounts to its own students.
For someone like Ning An, who had recently been promoted and was making a first purchase,
there was a 50% discount!
“Old Zhang, you can’t give me a little more discount?”
Of course, Ning An didn’t forget to haggle.
He had been in the logistics department since entering the school.
It was said that he was one of the first people to establish Nanjiang Martial Arts University.
However, he was very kind to people and didn’t have much of an air about him!
After being in the school for so long, he had become quite familiar with the man.
Mainly, he had interacted with him too many times.
In fact, Ning An knew that this Old Zhang wasn’t simple.
One of the first people to establish Nanjiang Martial Arts University, and in charge of the school’s entire logistics.
He wouldn’t have been able to do that without some strength.
“You little rascal, your wings have hardened since breaking through the Third Rank.”
“I can give you a hundred Spirit Stones for free, do you want it?”
Old Zhang huffed and puffed as he spoke.
“A hundred Spirit Stones is fine!”
“It’s enough for my family to eat a few more meals of spirit rice.”
Ning An didn’t mind at all as he spoke.
“Take your things and leave!”
“Next time you come, I’m going to fleece you.”
Old Zhang was a little speechless about this kid, Ning An, as he spoke.
His words were a bit rude!
But it was obvious that he was still looking out for him.
Come again next time?!
He was clearly telling Ning An not to die on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, even Middle-Rank martial artists couldn’t be sure of surviving every time.
Let alone Ning An, who was only a Third-Rank.
And after reaching the Third Rank, it wasn’t as easy to lie in wait and ambush as before.
After all, this time Ning An would be hunting down other Third-Rankers.
