Chapter 18: Breaking Through The Limit Of The Basic Breathing Technique

Chapter 18: Breaking Through The Limit Of The Basic Breathing Technique

The next day.

Fifth High School.

Chu Zhou was practicing his cultivation in the woods when Liu Qianqian came over and told him a shocking piece of news.

"Chu Zhou, I have good news for you. Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan have indeed been released… However, their families have also paid a huge price."

"Vice Principal Zhou Sen and Jin Jingmao, the Academic Director, have both been dismissed."

"Furthermore, Zhou Tong's guaranteed spot has been revoked. Jin Zhennan has also lost the right to continue competing for the guaranteed spot."

Liu Qianqian beamed with joy as she spoke, as if she had vented her anger.

It was a very normal outcome since Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan actually wanted to capture her and let the scar-faced man play with her yesterday…

This made her hate Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan to the core.

Even though Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan were not convicted of serious crimes by the police—

Their families behind them had also paid a huge price.

That made her feel a little better.

Chu Zhou was slightly stunned. He did not expect Vice Principal Zhou Sen and Academic Director Jingmao to be fired just like that.

"That's indeed good news."

He smiled and used his Sharp Blade Kick on a man-sized rock.

Ching!

A sickle-like foot swept across the rock and instantly cut open the entire rock.

The cut on the rock was as smooth as a mirror.

"My Sharp Blade Kick has also advanced to the Mastery Realm."

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

The technique of exerting force and the principle of attacking were similar for both the Curved Hand Blade and the Sharp Blade Kick.

Therefore, he did not use his precious attribute points to upgrade this combat technique.

Rather, he cultivated it by himself.

He had finally successfully upgraded his Sharp Blade Kick to the Mastery Realm with the experience of the Intent Realm Curved Hand Blade as a reference.

"Chu Zhou, you're truly a freak. You've actually cultivated your Sharp Blade Kick to the Mastery Realm."

Liu Qianqian's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.

"It's nothing, I just entered the Mastery Realm!"

Chu Zhou waved his hand, indicating to her not to be caught up by it.

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes, pissed.

This person's words were simply infuriating.

What does he mean by 'just entered' the Mastery Realm?

She had been practicing a few combat techniques for so many years. Her family had even hired a special teacher to teach her, but she had yet to reach the Mastery Realm on any of the techniques.

"Master Chu, I didn't rest much last night. Especially to help you gather information about the competitors so that you can suppress the crowd in the elite trial. Come and take a look!"

Liu Qianqian sat down beside Chu Zhou, took out her phone, and tapped lightly.

A holographic projection interface appeared in the air.

There was a folder called "Top 10 Experts" in the interface.

"These Top 10 Experts are the 10 most famous students in our Jiang City third year cohort. Eight of them are from the First High School, one is from the Second High School, and one is from the Third High School…"

Liu Qianqian tapped the folder icon in the air as she spoke.

Another 10 folders appeared at the same time.

The title of every folder was of a person's name, school, etc.

"This is the cultivation and battle video of Zhuang Cheng from the First High School!"

Liu Qianqian opened a folder at random.

Six videos started playing in the air at the same time instantly.

The protagonists of these six videos were all of the same tall and thin student.

Some videos played the scenes of his cultivation.

Some videos showed his battle scenes.

"Student Liu Qianqian, your intelligence work is very good. You actually collected their cultivation and battle videos so thoroughly."

"This is what you are in terms of intelligence gathering!"

Chu Zhou stared at Zhuang Cheng's cultivation and battle videos. He clicked his tongue in amazement and gave Liu Qianqian a thumbs up.

"Of course!" The corners of Liu Qianqian's mouth curled up slightly as she smiled. "I'm not a useless person." 𝚋e𝚍n𝚘ve𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐

Chu Zhou did not let down Liu Qianqian's hard work and watched all the videos seriously.

He did so especially for the videos on Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi. He watched each cultivation and battle video three to four times.

You can only win every battle if you know yourself and your enemies!

He did not underestimate Ling Zhan and the others just because his Curved Hand Blade had reached the Intent Realm.

Chu Zhou was even more confident for the elite trial after watching the cultivation and battle videos of Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi multiple times.

Nine days later!

In the small forest, Chu Zhou's heart skipped a beat as he opened the Attribute Board.

Name: Chu Zhou (Advanced Apprentice, Life Field 3.6)

Attribute points: 13.25 (+12.15)

Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level Three (Upgradeable)

Curved Hand Blade (D-rank): Level Five -Intent Realm (Upgradable)

Sharp Blade Kick (D-rank): Level Three - Mastery Realm (Upgradable)

Chu Zhou was delighted as he looked at the information on the Attribute Board.

His guess was right.

He could not upgrade his breathing technique or combat technique because he did not have enough attribute points previously.

He could update the Basic Breathing Technique that he had cultivated to the limit or even the Curved Hand Blade that had reached the Intent Realm once he had enough Attribute Points.

"Upgrade the Basic Breathing Technique!"

He chose to upgrade the Basic Breathing Technique without hesitation.

The entire Attribute Board trembled and flickered violently immediately. The information on it became blurry.

This time, the vibration of the Attribute Board was clearly greater than the previous times when he upgraded the Curved Hand Blade.

Chu Zhou's body also began to change.

He instinctively entered the cultivation state of the Basic Breathing Technique and sat cross-legged with his five cores facing the sky.

Exhale!

Inhale!

Every breath he took carried a mysterious frequency as wisps of cosmic energy surged into his body.

The countless cells in his body seemed to have awakened from their slumber and were absorbing the cosmic energy.

Buzz!

His entire body shook as if some invisible shackle had shattered suddenly. The cosmic energy that surged into his body instantly doubled.

His muscles, bones, cells, five viscera, and so on were also absorbing the cosmic energy at a rapid speed.

His physical fitness was undergoing a violent transformation.

A moment later, this violent transformation slowly ended.

Chu Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the Attribute Board.

Name: Chu Zhou (Advanced Apprentice, Life Field Energy Level 4)

Attribute points: 1.25

Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level 4 (Unupgradable)

Curved Hand Blade (D-rank): Level 5 - Intent Realm (Unupgradable)

Sharp Blade Kick (D-rank): Level 3 - Mastery Realm (Unupgradable)

"My Basic Breathing Technique has broken through the limit. Originally, there were only three levels, but now, I've raised it to the fourth level!"

"My Life Field Energy has also increased by 0.4, from 3.6 to 4, breaking through 4."

Chu Zhou looked at the changes in his Attribute Board and was overjoyed.

He could also clearly feel that his body had undergone a huge transformation. His vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell had become stronger. Even his thinking speed had greatly increased.

This is evolution!

An all-rounded evolution.

"Upgrading the Basic Breathing Technique to the fourth level not only increases my Life Field Energy by 0.4, but also allows me to absorb cosmic energy faster. This transformation is still not over, but the momentum is not as fierce as before…"

Chu Zhou muttered to himself and calculated in his heart. There were still 11 days before the elite trial began.

In that case, he might be able to continue upgrading the Basic Breathing Technique.

Eleven days later!

Chu Zhou looked at the information on the Attribute Board and smiled.

Attribute points: 16.1 (+14.85)

Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level 4 (Upgradeable)

"Upgrade the Basic Breathing Technique!"

With a thought, Chu Zhou's Attribute Board trembled again.

He went through the process of upgrading 11 days ago.

After everything calmed down, the information on the Attribute Board changed again.

Name: Chu Zhou (Advanced Apprentice, Life Field Energy 4.5)

Attribute points: 1.1

Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level 5 (Unupgradable)

Curved Hand Blade (D-rank): Level 5 - Intent Realm (Unupgradable)

Sharp Blade Kick (D-rank): Level 3 - Mastery Realm (Unupgradable)

His Basic Breathing Technique had been upgraded to the fifth level.

His Life Field Energy increased to 4.5.
