I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 345 Fifth Rank

In the days that followed, Lu Wang's side and Yin Qingleng's side seemed to have stabilized on the surface, but there were still some struggles behind the scenes. However, both sides were quite restrained and no open conflict occurred.

As for Xu Ning, he did not participate in it; he devoted more of his energy to collecting resources.

Having become an instructor at the Ice Feather Academy and with the support of Jiang Xu and others, Xu Ning obtained nearly 15000 units of energy within just three months through the platform of the Ice Feather Academy.

This nearly 15000 units of energy was enough for Xu Ning to raise his cultivation level to the fifth rank and further enhance his secret techniques.

The secret techniques of the world of esoteric masters are different from those of the world of martial arts.

In the world of martial arts, different techniques cannot be linked together.

However, in the world of esoteric masters, if the esoteric technique one has mastered has the same attributes and activation mechanism as the esoteric technique one wishes to learn again, it is possible to directly upgrade the lower-level esoteric technique to a higher-level one based on the original one.

This mechanism, when applied to the martial arts panel, means that Xu Ning can use a high-level secret technique to overwrite a low-level secret technique, thus saving a considerable amount of energy consumption during the upgrade process.

Three months later.

On this day, Xu Ning once again used the energy he had accumulated to improve himself.

"Martial Arts Panel!"

After Xu Ning improved his cultivation level and secret techniques, he brought up the martial arts panel.

-

Name: Xu Ning

Realm: Fifth-Order Mystic

Secret Techniques: Violent Wind Wall, Corrosive Rain Curtain, Gravity Spiral

Remaining energy: 370 units

-

"This time, my strength has also seen a significant advancement!"

Xu Ning is very satisfied with this improvement.

In addition to improving his cultivation level, his secret techniques also became more powerful.

The Wind Barrier Wall has been upgraded to the Violent Wind Wall, the Corrosive Arrow has been upgraded to the Corrosive Rain Curtain, and the Gravity Field has been upgraded to the Gravity Spiral.

This allows Xu Ning's combat strength to approach that of a sixth-tier fighter.

"The difference between advancing to a Mystic Master level and advancing to a Martial Arts level is quite significant..."

The upgrade of a Mystic's level simply improves the quality and intensity of their power, allowing them to unleash greater power when using secret techniques.

However, the advancement of martial arts realms varies between the various minor realms.

"Now that I've advanced to the fifth rank, I no longer need to worry about any potential threats from Yin Qingleng within the Ice Feather Academy..."

Xu Ning thought to himself.

When Xu Ning had contact with Yin Qingleng before, she could sense Yin Qingleng's hidden killing intent towards her.

In the world of mystics, the gap between realms is far greater than in the world of martial arts, making it much more difficult to defeat enemies of a higher level.

Moreover, Xu Ning's secret techniques had not yet been upgraded at that time, and he was not confident in defeating enemies of a higher level.

Therefore, Yin Qingleng's existence is a threat that Xu Ning has always been somewhat worried about.

However, with this improvement in strength, Yin Qingleng no longer poses a fatal threat to him.

"I should inform Jiang Xu, Xu Siqi, and others about my advancement to the fifth rank first..."

Xu Ning was making plans in his mind.

He knew that his advancement to the fifth rank would completely disrupt the current balance between Yin Qingleng's side and Lu Wang and Jiang Xu's side.

Xu Ning is willing to help Lu Wang obtain the position of head of the academy ahead of schedule.

I did this because of the resources provided by Jiang Xu and Lu Wang. If they hadn't found a way to allocate resources to me, I wouldn't have been able to get promoted so quickly.

Secondly, once Lu Wang becomes the head of the academy, he will be able to obtain resources more quickly and conveniently.

After all, the subsequent resource upgrades require a huge amount of energy. Upgrading from the fifth rank to the sixth rank requires 120000 units of energy, which is almost ten times more than upgrading from the fourth rank to the fifth rank.

However, this is basically in line with the energy consumption required to advance from the mid-stage to the high-stage of the Void Realm in the martial arts world.

So, Xu Ning walked out of her courtyard to find Jiang Xu.

At this moment, Xu Siqi and Lu Wang were both in Jiang Xu's study.

The three were discussing something, their expressions slightly serious.

"I can sense that Yin Qingleng has been acting strangely lately..."

Jiang Xu said, "He's becoming increasingly ruthless in his covert attacks against us, as if he wants to provoke a conflict between the two sides..."

"Yes, I feel the same way."

Xu Siqi immediately added, "He seems to have found some kind of leverage and appears to be escalating his resistance to launch a devastating attack on us."

"What should we do then?"

Lu Wang sat to the side, and after listening, he was slightly alarmed.

He is still a third-tier master, and there is no sign of him reaching the threshold for advancement to the fourth tier.

"We are almost certain that Yin Qingleng will not allow you, Young Master, to advance to the fourth rank peacefully and then obediently relinquish your position as Headmaster..."

Jiang Xu said, "He will definitely use some methods before you advance to the fourth rank. We can't rule out the possibility that he might try to harm you. Although you have the protection of several other instructors and me now, Yin Qingleng has a precedent of trying to assassinate you..."

"Um……"

After Jiang Xu finished speaking, the atmosphere among the three became somewhat tense.

Although they were evenly matched in the competition within the Ice Feather Academy, Yin Qingleng's side, being a fifth-tier Mystic Master, still exerted considerable pressure.

"Brother Jiang."

Just then, Xu Ning arrived.

He and Jiang Xu were already quite familiar with each other, so he simply pushed the door open and came in.

"Young Master, Academician Xu."

Xu Ning also greeted the other two.

Xu Ning had already sensed that the two of them were inside when he was outside the door.

This is perfect, Xu Ning can tell them the news of his advancement to the fifth rank at the same time.

"Xu Ning?"

Upon seeing Xu Ning enter, all three of them stood up and treated him with great courtesy.

After spending three months together, they realized that Xu Ning was genuinely on their side.

"The three of you have come here today to inform you of some news."

Xu Ning said, "I have already advanced to the fifth-level Mystic Master."

"You've already advanced to a fifth-tier Mystic Master!?"

Jiang Xu, Xu Siqi, and Lu Wang were stunned at first, then overjoyed.

Xu Ning also took this opportunity to subtly release his fifth-tier aura, allowing the three of them to truly perceive it.

"It really is Rank 5!"

Jiang Xu and Xu Siqi exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter.

Lu Wang stood to the side, also somewhat excited.

At the same time, there was a hint of respect in his eyes when he looked at Xu Ning.

He was about the same age as Xu Ning, but he hadn't even reached the fourth rank, while Xu Ning had already advanced to the fifth rank.

"Xu Ning has advanced to the fifth rank, which means we now have enough combat power to contend with Yin Qingleng!"

Jiang Xu was greatly shocked.

Previously, he was worried about the pressure from Yin Qingleng's cultivation level, but now that Xu Ning is also a fifth-level Mystic Master, his concerns have been resolved.

Xu Ning has made up for the biggest weakness of our own camp.
