Chapter 452: Chapter 99: A New Trait, Writing the Boxing Manual! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!!)
Inside the house.
Jiang Ning sat by the stove, his brush moving freely in his hand as if dancing on the tip of a blade, characters full of sharpness leaped onto the paper.
Rustle rustle rustle—
Beside him, Lv Yi quietly ground the ink, producing a soft rustling sound.
The black ink gradually spread out.
After grinding sufficiently, she moved to a small ceramic stove nearby and added some small pieces of wood.
Steam rose from the stove, bubbling with a gurgling sound.
Moments later.
The water in the pot boiled.
Lv Yi, hearing the noise from the kettle, immediately set down the ink stick she was grinding.
She went to the tea table, scooped out some tea leaves with a teaspoon, then dropped them into the tea bowl and slightly covered it with a lid.
Then, she picked up the kettle, the snow water inside already boiling.
The tea in the bowl was aged; aged tea required boiling water to brew and release its rich aroma.
The next moment, Lv Yi held the kettle and slowly poured the water along the edge of the covered bowl, causing the leaves to tumble under the force of the water, which helped to release the tea’s essence.
At this time, the tea-brewing method she used was known as "Phoenix Three Nods."
Phoenix Three Nods, namely lifting the kettle high, allowing the water to pour straight down, then using wrist strength to lift and pour water up and down three times, making the tea leaves tumble in the water, heating them evenly.
This shows that Lv Yi received extensive training at Wanhua Building.
She also delved into the art of tea-making.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning, undistracted, continued to wield his brush.
Messages flashed before him from time to time.

Since he started writing the revised boxing manual of Five Animals Fist, he saw messages flashing before him from time to time.
Seeing these messages, he felt even more motivated.
Writing the revised manual of Five Animals Fist, he gained experience in reading and writing, an unexpected delight.
And in this way, he not only saved time but also gained faster skill improvement.
He had just briefly paid attention and already roughly knew that earning experience in reading and writing in this manner was much more efficient than when he normally read books.
And the improvement of the skill of reading and writing could enhance his spiritual power and even earn him new traits.
He clearly remembered the last time he broke the limit of this skill, the trait he gained was increased comprehension.
With that trait of increased comprehension, the efficiency at which he trained in other martial arts and gained experience skyrocketed.
It even caused his spiritual power to transform, from being detached three feet away to covering a hundred meters in a spiritual field. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
The progress was immense.
Also, due to the increase in spiritual power, the efficiency of his bone forging greatly increased.
He could refine thirteen bones in his body at once.
Just in this aspect, it was thirteen times more efficient than that of a common Sixth Rank martial artist.
This was enough to show how great the help of breaking through in reading and writing was.
As the saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting wood.
He, with Iron Bone already cast, was only short of creating Jade Bone at the Martial Arts Sixth Grade level.
If he could break the limit of reading and writing once more and his spiritual power soared again, the efficiency in creating Jade Bone would explode.
It was this thought that made him even less hurried.
He prepared to dedicate himself to completing the writing of the Five Animals Fist boxing manual.
After writing another full page again.
Sigh—
Jiang Ning exhaled a breath of impure energy.
He placed down his brush and rotated his wrist 360 degrees, flexing it.
He also opened his own panel to take a look.
[Skill]: Literacy and Judgement (Four Limit Breaks 2637/5000) (Traits: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension)
The experience points for reading and writing were more than halfway there.
Not far from the fifth limit break.
The fifth limit break didn’t require many Source Energy Points either, only 200, and he already had more than that saved up.
[Source Energy]: 313.77
"Master, the tea is just about the right temperature now!" Lv Yi, seeing Jiang Ning stop writing, promptly brought the tea bowl, which had been set aside to rest, to him.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning took the tea Lv Yi offered.
He lifted the lid, gently blew off the floating leaves on top.
Then, he carefully sipped.
"Not bad!" Jiang Ning nodded immediately: "Much more fragrant than the tea I brewed before."
Hearing his words, Lv Yi smiled serenely.
"Master, I have studied the art of tea-making for half a year. From now on, please leave the tea brewing to me!"
"Good!" Jiang Ning nodded: "I will leave it to you."
He sipped a few more times before setting down the tea bowl.
He then looked out the window again.
The snow still fell heavily outside, but the wind had lessened a lot and was no longer the ghostly howling of earlier; the rustle of tree branches could no longer be heard outside.
"This weather, it’s perfect for staying at home to enjoy the snow!" Jiang Ning suddenly sighed.
Lv Yi chuckled softly: "Indeed! The sound of snow falling has its own charm."
Jiang Ning also smiled.
Then, he picked up his brush and continued to write the Five Animals Fist boxing manual.

As he moved his brush, the strokes danced on the paper like the tip of a blade, with characters vividly taking shape.
After a short while, some patterns were also depicted on the paper.
...
In the blink of an eye.
It was two days later.
Now, there were only six days left until the end of the year.
