Innate Breathing and Qi Guiding Technique

"This Breathing and Qi Guiding Technique was obtained from this space. It was the foundation of all qi refinement and had many wondrous uses!"

"After obtaining this technique and opening up a new world, I could see with broadened vision. I was overjoyed!"

"However, the world was incomplete, and it was impossible to refine the energy of nature. Thus, I forged another path, creating a cultivation method that absorbed Life Energy and turned it to my own use!"

"Yet although this cultivation method was overbearing, very few people could absorb its power. As a result, I was trapped at the Grandmaster realm for my entire life!"

"Therefore, I integrated this cultivation method into this space..."

"..."

After Fang Jue finished passing on his inheritance, he vanished from the space.

After finishing his cultivation of the Innate Breathing and Qi Guiding Technique, Jiang Fan rose to his feet.

According to Fang Jue, the Innate Breathing and Qi Guiding Technique was the inherited cultivation method of this space, which was why it had left behind a detailed cultivation route.

But the overbearing cultivation method Fang Jue had created himself had left behind no inheritance. Instead, it had been integrated into the space?

In other words, the Life Energy he had absorbed by harvesting the residual blood of exotic beasts earlier was the result of Fang Jue's overbearing cultivation method?

However, based on Fang Jue's introduction, he should have been nowhere near the level required to integrate his cultivation method into the space. How had he done it?

This Mysterious Seal space was truly bizarre. Jiang Fan racked his brains but could not figure it out!

Still, he was quite satisfied with what he had gained this time!

Although he did not know what specific effects the Innate Breathing and Qi Guiding Technique had, it should be far superior to the Body Tempering Chapter of the Martial Arts True Understanding taught at school.

And Fang Jue... as a Grandmaster...

Although Jiang Fan had no idea what the Grandmaster realm represented, the scenes of battles that could split mountains and shatter stones in his memories were enough to let him imagine how terrifying it was.

Just now...

The one who had fought him should have possessed less than one ten-thousandth of his actual strength...

Otherwise, how could Jiang Fan have had any chance of defeating him through battle?

His purpose should have been to conduct an assessment and pass on his inheritance!

Inheritance...

At that thought, Jiang Fan fell silent again!

Fang Jue had mentioned inheritance several times just now. He seemed to mean that this seal was the source of the inheritance. What secret had caused this inheritance? And what exactly was the so-called incompleteness of Heaven and Earth? Jiang Fan did not really understand!

With a shift of consciousness, Jiang Fan's mind returned to the cultivation room!

The instant he returned, he sensed something unusual.

He had fought in the space for more than ten hours. In the past, after being killed each time, his body had been especially exhausted when he returned to reality.

Yet now, he felt incomparably light and refreshed.

He was just about to stand when he suddenly realized that the wounds he had suffered earlier had somehow stopped hurting!

He tried pressing the places that had originally been injured and found them no different from when he had not been hurt.

He raised his hand and saw a layer of fine grime spreading across the arm exposed to the air!

He sniffed, then brought his arm closer. At once, he caught a faint, fishy stench.

Jiang Fan hurriedly dashed to the shower room.

After skillfully covering his entire body with soap and rinsing himself clean, Jiang Fan changed into fresh clothes and came out.

Fortunately! The advanced training room Sister Bingbing at the front desk had opened for him was equipped with a shower and disposable training clothes.

Otherwise, with his body covered in grime, he truly would have had no way to deal with it!

Afterward, Jiang Fan turned the room's ventilation system up to its maximum. Only then did he have time to examine his body.

Under the lights, his skin was unnaturally fair. Even the black mole that had originally been on his arm had disappeared without a trace at some point.

The wounds on his chest and lower abdomen had also completely healed!

He waved his arm and felt his body brimming with strength.

Almost instinctively, he began using the Breathing Technique he had learned in the space. In an instant, he felt a thin stream flowing slowly through his body.

What was this? It seemed to be an extremely powerful energy!

Jiang Fan's heart pounded wildly!

The Blue Star World placed great importance on using technology to break through the limits of the human body. Thus, whether one was awakening or advancing, one needed technological drugs to assist the process!

Jiang Fan had been the top student in the written examination at River City Martial High. Because he had been unable to awaken, however, he had fallen to a state even worse than that of an ordinary person.

But now, what he had obtained in this space seemed to be an entirely new cultivation system!

Could cultivating this system break the shackles around his body?

At that thought, he slapped his forehead, quickly rose, and came to the testing platform.

A miniature Qi and Blood Testing Device sat on the table. It was roughly the size of a suitcase, with a length and width of about forty centimeters.

At the top of the testing device was a small screen that recorded the test results.

In the middle was a hole about ten centimeters in radius, faintly glowing blue.

The bottom was a support stand for the testing device.

This was the miniature testing device the martial hall had equipped in every advanced training room.

Although its results were not extremely precise, it made up for that with its speed and convenience.

Otherwise, he would have had to go to school or line up at a large testing device!

Jiang Fan tapped "Begin Test," then rolled up his sleeve and inserted his hand into the hole. The outer edge of the testing device stopped flush with his wrist.

The interior of the testing device then began to contract. Once it had tightened to a suitable range, Jiang Fan felt a sting in his fingertip—the blood-drawing needle had begun to draw blood automatically.

After the blood had been drawn, the band around the hole loosened. Jiang Fan withdrew his hand and found a tissue to wipe it.

At the same time, the numbers on the top screen began rolling wildly!

A few seconds later, the data settled at 0.98!

This...

Jiang Fan was stunned!

His original qi and blood value had been 0.8!

Now, in just over ten hours, it had risen by 0.18. That speed was practically the same as taking a powerful restorative drug.

No!

Jiang Fan suddenly slapped his forehead.

He had spent more than ten hours in the space, but outside, at most a little over an hour had passed.

To rise by 0.18 in just over an hour was even faster than taking a powerful restorative drug!

At least, with his current understanding, he had never seen anyone cultivate so quickly!

Jiang Fan exhaled a breath of stale air, then came to the Combat Power Testing Device.

The Combat Power Testing Device resembled the punch-strength testing machines at amusement parks.

A sandbag hung from the front of the machine. By striking the sandbag and making it rebound into the sensor area, the machine measured the strength of the blow.

Jiang Fan stood before the machine, rolled his shoulders, and swung with all his might.

A tremendous force slammed into the machine. The numbers on the screen began leaping wildly, accompanied by the sound of a winding spring.

More than ten seconds later, the data settled!

When Jiang Fan saw the number on the screen, he could hardly believe his eyes!

Combat Power Index: 122!

This... this number had already broken through the threshold of a First-level Martial Artist!

A qi and blood value of 1 and a Combat Power Index of 100 were the threshold for a First-level Martial Artist.

And to become a First-level Martial Artist, one had to awaken first!

Thus, all the students in high school—whether they practiced the Body Tempering Technique from Martial Arts True Understanding or swallowed drugs—were trying to raise their qi and blood as close to 1 as possible before using an awakening drug to awaken.

Someone who had not awakened could not become a Martial Artist, much less break through a Combat Power Index of 100. This was an ironclad rule!

Yet now, he...

Jiang Fan's heart pounded violently!

This cultivation system really worked!

And it seemed even fiercer than their so-called genetic drugs!

In barely more than ten hours, it had caused his qi and blood to surge by 0.18. Although he had not yet reached the critical qi and blood value of 1 required for a First-level Martial Artist, he believed he already possessed the strength of one.

That was because qi and blood were related not only to one's cultivation realm but also closely tied to one's physical condition that day!

He had been injured yesterday and had not eaten yet today. That would certainly have some effect!

The moment he thought of food, a tremendous wave of hunger instantly swept over Jiang Fan!

"Xiao Fan, you're not going to cultivate a little longer?"

"No, Sister Bingbing! When Ah Ming comes back, tell him I stopped by!"

"Okay. Do you want me to pass anything on to him?"

"No, just tell him that!"

"No problem!"

"..."

Jiang Fan left the training room of Thunder Martial Hall. After greeting Sister Bingbing at the front desk, he dashed outside like a streak of smoke.

He was so fast that he nearly blinded Sister Bingbing at the front desk.

"Hehe! What a child!"

"He looks so steady and composed. How did he end up as careless and fidgety as Ah Ming?"

Sister Bingbing shook her head and laughed.

After leaving Thunder Martial Hall, Jiang Fan passed through the Inner City gates and hurried back to Aunt's Home.

"I'm telling you, child, where did you go? Why were you gone so long?"

"I even stewed meat for you, but I couldn't find you anywhere!"

Jiang Fan stared at the meat on the table, his eyes shining.

"I went to the martial hall just now!"

Su Qingwan cried out in surprise.

"You were injured. Why did you still go cultivate?"

Jiang Fan opened his shirt and said with a smile,

"Aunt, my injuries are already healed!"

Su Qingwan stood there dumbfounded.

"Healed... already?"

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something.

"Did that bottle of genetic drug heal you?"

Jiang Fan had been worrying about finding an excuse, but Su Qingwan had handed him one herself. He hurriedly nodded.

"That's right!"

Su Qingwan was instantly delighted.

"I never knew genetic drugs had such a wondrous use!"

Seeing Jiang Fan staring at the dishes on the table like a starving wolf, Su Qingwan quickly smiled.

"I stewed all of it for you. Hurry up and eat!"

Jiang Fan answered and quickly sat down at the table, wolfing down the food!

Before long, he had swept the entire pot of stewed meat clean.

After eating, he was still somewhat unsatisfied!

He had just eaten six bowls of rice and one whole pot of stewed meat, yet that had only barely filled his stomach.

Seeing the table in complete disarray, he realized that he had left nothing for Su Qingwan to eat and immediately felt terribly ashamed.

He was just about to say something when he raised his head and saw tears streaming endlessly down Su Qingwan's face.

"Damn them! Just... how did they abuse this child?"
