Vast Exhalation Breathing Technique

"Fatty Wang?!"

Commander Liu and Commander Xiong turned around.

Wang Zhi, who had arrived silently beside Chen Sanshi at some point, helped him up from the ground with an approachable smile.

"You, Wang!"

Commander Liu pointed at Fatty Wang's nose and berated him, "You personally said you looked down on this kid's talent!"

"Exactly!" Commander Xiong chimed in, "I think you're the most shameless!"

"You two brothers are mistaken, what does this have to do with talent?"

Wang Zhi shook his head and said, "I, Wang, have always valued loyalty and kept my word. Since I received the silver, how could I not teach him wholeheartedly?"

"Good, good, good!"

Commander Liu gritted his teeth, his hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of his saber. "You dead fatty, you want to snatch him from me too? Sanshi, you need to think clearly. This fatty values money above all else, I can teach you without taking a single cent."

"Come with me!"

Wang Zhi didn't waste any more words and pulled Chen Sanshi away. In a few breaths, the two of them disappeared.

"Dead fatty, Xiong will never consider you a comrade again!"

Commander Xiong and the other could only curse at the dust as they left helplessly.

Chen Sanshi was a little slow to react.

From being ignored to being fought over.

It seemed that those who were against him did not have absolute status and power, otherwise, they wouldn't have given him a chance to turn things around.

As for which commander to choose to teach him.

Did he even have a choice?

Commander Wang's strength was immense, he almost pulled Chen Sanshi's arm off.

The two of them didn't stop until they reached the entrance of the camp.

Commander Wang released his grip. "Little Stone, come in with me."

The moment they entered the tent.

Wang Zhi suddenly turned around again and reached out to press on his shoulder.

Chen Sanshi instinctively wanted to dodge, but that hand was like the Five Finger Mountain, inescapable. It pressed heavily on his shoulder, and his bones felt a sharp pain.

After feeling over most of his body, Wang Zhi nodded with satisfaction. "Monkey arms and bee waist, and most importantly, a solid bone structure. A really good foundation."

"Monkey arms and bee waist..."

Chen Sanshi nodded.

"When practicing martial arts, talent is paramount, followed by bone structure."

Wang Zhi swaggered to the desk and sat down, explaining, "I don't need to explain talent, right?

"As for bone structure, martial artists must first be able to withstand hardship, and their bones must be strong. Besides that, different types of bone structures also represent different strengths.

"For example, archers are usually tall with long arms, making it easier to draw a full bow. That's why your archery talent is naturally good.

"Monkey arms and bee waist, combined with strong bones, can be considered superior bone structure!"

Chen Sanshi nodded. "Thank you for your guidance, Commander Wang."

"You resent me in your heart, don't you?"

Wang Zhi's small eyes gleamed. "You think I took the money and didn't teach you."

Chen Sanshi replied calmly, "I wouldn't dare."

"Not daring doesn't mean you don't feel it.

"Alright, don't feel wronged. Commander Liu and Commander Xiong couldn't offer you this."

As Wang Zhi spoke, he took out a booklet from his bosom and slapped it heavily on the table.

On the cover of the booklet were the familiar words "Basic Soldier Spear Technique."

Seeing Chen Sanshi's confused look, he took out another copy of "Basic Soldier Spear Technique." "Compare them and tell me the difference between these two books."

Chen Sanshi did as he was told.

Both booklets contained the complete "Basic Soldier Spear Technique," including posture training, spear techniques, and breathing techniques.

Through the text, he learned the importance of breathing techniques.

Without the breathing technique, one would have to endure more hardship. Perhaps they could still practice the spear techniques completely with slow practice, but they would absolutely be unable to condense qi and blood.

The content in both booklets was identical in terms of posture training and spear techniques.

However, there were many differences in the breathing techniques.

The first breathing technique was primarily for assistance.

The posture training and spear techniques were too damaging to the body, so a special breathing method was used as lubrication to reduce the pain of practice while slightly increasing the speed of cultivation.

The second type is called the Vast Exhalation Breathing Technique.

This breathing technique offers no protective benefits during cultivation, nor is it faster than the first type. However, the text states that the qi and blood cultivated through it will be superior to the first type.

As for how it's superior, he didn't know.

Fatty Wang peeled peanuts, eating as he explained, "The breathing technique I gave you cultivates qi and blood that is more enduring, resilient, and powerful, just like me.

"As for the other breathing technique, although it's fast, it's neither tough nor lasting, just like Commander Xiong.

"I've explained it this way, you should understand, right? It's okay if you don't, you'll naturally experience it once you cultivate qi and blood."

Chen Sanshi asked thoughtfully, "May I ask Commander Wang for guidance, why does the same technique have two different breathing methods?"

"It's a watered-down version."

Fatty Wang said, "The Vast Exhalation Breathing Technique is better, but not everyone can learn it. If your bone structure isn't solid enough, you might cripple yourself. If your talent isn't good enough, it will significantly slow down your cultivation progress. Plus, this thing is very costly to practice, usually taught only in the Eight Great Camps.

"I've told you all the pros and cons. It's up to you to decide which one you want to learn."

A technique from the Eight Great Camps?

Chen Sanshi looked at Fatty Wang, then at the technique.

"Do you look down on me?"

Fatty Wang glared fiercely, "Don't think that just because I'm only a Hundred Household Commander now, I was once part of the Eight Great Camps!"

"Commander Wang is overthinking it, I didn't mean that."

Chen Sanshi quickly made his decision: "I'll practice the Vast Exhalation Breathing Technique."

"Good lad, I didn't misjudge you."

Wang Zhi brushed the crumbs off his hands and called for a subordinate to bring a Plum Blossom Iron Spear from outside. He then began teaching hand-in-hand.

"Posture training, holding the spear, breathing – the three must become one.

"Take a deep breath. How you hold your breath matters. Don't just hold it in your lungs. Imagine this breath is 'strength' stored within your body. Use this 'strength' in conjunction with every move you make.

"That's not how you exhale. That's normal breathing. Do you think the Vast Exhalation Technique is different for a reason?

"You need to use this 'strength' to stimulate your acupoints!

"Yes, yes, just like that!"

"Hiss—"

Through the breathing diagrams in the manual and Commander Wang's explanations, Chen Sanshi successfully mastered the correct way to use the Vast Exhalation Breathing Technique after a few attempts.

Each of his movements was accompanied by "qi," which transformed into "strength," multiplying the stimulation to his acupoints and bones.

The combined effect of posture training and spear techniques, which was already a double layer, now became a triple layer.

The discomfort made Chen Sanshi almost gag.

However, at the same time, a system panel appeared before his eyes.

Technique: Basic Soldier Spear Technique (Uninitiated)
Progress: (8/100)
Effect: None

"Pant, pant—"

After holding on for a few seconds, Chen Sanshi felt somewhat depleted, his legs wobbled, and he nearly fell.

"That's enough."

Wang Zhi called a halt. "We'll stop here for today. You learned the spear technique in one night; even an iron body would be at its limit. You must not harm your body.

"Especially regarding food, you need to eat at least five jin of meat every day. Wild game is good, fierce beasts are even better, and exotic beast meat is best.

"Once you reach the 'Initiated' level in the Basic Soldier Spear Technique, you will have entered the Blood Tempering realm and truly become a Martial Cultivator!

"At that time, I will help you find Lord Thousand Households.

"As for Tianyuan Martial Arts Academy, do you have any grievances with the Young Master of the Academy, Liang Zhan?"

"Tianyuan Martial Arts Academy?"

Chen Sanshi understood immediately and replied, "I have no grievances with the Liang family whatsoever."

"Oh?"

Wang Zhi seemed surprised. He stroked his chin, his eyes flickering, as if contemplating something. "I see. You go rest now."
