18, Thousand Layered Breathing Technique, Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes, Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield

Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield, Snake Step

After speaking with Lu Lin, Liu Qingyun left. As the Headmaster, he was busy every day, and he still had to make sure he got enough training in, so he naturally had to treasure every minute and second.

The door closed. Lu Lin and Li Jiangtao exchanged a glance, and only then did Lu Lin confirm that everything that had just happened was real.

"Ahem, Lu Lin, the Hall Master really thinks highly of you. He's grooming you as one of the Martial Arts School's core members, so you absolutely mustn't let the old man down."

"Don't worry, Master Li. I definitely won't let the Headmaster down."

Then Li Jiangtao brought Lu Lin to the Martial Arts School's logistics department. Liu Qinglong had just granted Lu Lin access right in front of him, and now Lu Lin needed to collect his techniques and other benefits.

A logistics employee opened the Martial Arts School's list of treasures for Lu Lin, letting him choose freely.

The first thing Lu Lin looked at was the Breathing Techniques.

Black Tortoise Breathing Technique, Mysterious Grade High Rank, market price: 12 million. It could increase a Martial Artist's defense and strength.

Clear Wind Breathing Technique, Mysterious Grade High Rank, market price: 14 million. It could increase a Martial Artist's speed and footwork.

Thousand Layered Breathing Technique, Mysterious Grade Low Rank, market price: 16.8 million. It could increase a Martial Artist's strength and combat ability.

There were only three Mysterious Grade Breathing Techniques on the list. Clear Wind Breathing Technique was the most expensive, while Thousand Layered Breathing Technique, despite being only Mysterious Grade Low Rank, cost a staggering 16.8 million.

"Lu Lin, are you planning to pick this Thousand Layered Breathing Technique?" Li Jiangtao asked, unable to resist, when he saw Lu Lin's gaze fixed on it.

"Mm."

This technique was only Mysterious Grade Low Rank, yet it was worth so much. There was no way Lu Lin could say he wasn't tempted.

"But I wouldn't recommend choosing this one. The Thousand Layered Breathing Technique is incredibly profound and can increase a Martial Artist's strength and combat ability, but think about it: it's only Mysterious Grade Low Rank, yet it costs more than those two Mysterious Grade High Rank techniques. That's because it's extremely difficult to cultivate."

"To be frank, quite a few Martial Artists in the school have chosen to cultivate it. But whether it took them two or three months, or as long as seven or eight, they all gave up."

"A Breathing Technique that takes that long just to get started is useless to everyone, no matter how powerful it is. The Hall Master said you're good at cultivating defensive techniques. Why not choose that Black Tortoise Breathing Technique?"

"Master Li, I'm choosing the Thousand Layered Breathing Technique."

Lu Lin had the Simplification System, so he couldn't just let something like that slip. This technique might be difficult for other people, but for Lu Lin, all it took was simplifying it and building up proficiency.

"Lu Lin, you need to think this through. This technique is incomplete, too. At most, you can cultivate it to the peak of the Martial Master realm. If you can't get the rest of it, you might be stuck at the Martial Master realm for the rest of your life..."

Li Jiangtao continued trying to persuade him, but Lu Lin had already switched the page to combat techniques.

Compared to the mere three Breathing Techniques, there were many more Mysterious Grade combat techniques, over a dozen in all.

Hundred Battles Saber Technique, Mysterious Grade High Rank, market price: unavailable. A saber technique born for battle.

Mad Dragon Saber Technique, Mysterious Grade Middle Rank, market price: 22 million. Its fierce combat style gave the user a chance to comprehend Mad Dragon True Intent and strengthen their attacks.

Crimson Flame Sword, Mysterious Grade High Rank, market price: 31 million. A special cultivation method could add a scorching property to attacks.

Asking Willow Whip

Xiangshan Swordsman's Unique Sword Technique

Arhat Skyward Fist

Tiger Soldier, Mysterious Grade High Rank, market price: unavailable. A fighting technique combining fists and spears.

Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes, Mysterious Grade High Rank, market price: 68 million. A fierce saber technique that gave the user a chance to comprehend Sky Breaking Blade Intent.

The many martial arts techniques dazzled Lu Lin, and for a moment, he had no idea which to choose.

Fortunately, Li Jiangtao patiently explained each one to him. Martial Artists trained to fight the Monster Beasts outside the city, so naturally they should choose combat techniques with powerful offensive capabilities.

Generally speaking, there were two advantages to using saber techniques. They were simple and easy to learn; even someone who had never studied them could grab a saber and swing it around a couple of times.

Another advantage was that many Martial Artists learned saber techniques. If Lu Lin's weapon became worn down or broke in battle, he could quickly get a replacement.

Lu Lin naturally took his advice to heart. He was still a beginner in martial arts cultivation, so he should listen to what his seniors had to say.

Before long, his gaze drifted once more to the most expensive technique, Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes.

"Lu Lin, you're not thinking of cultivating the most expensive technique again, are you?!"

"I'm telling you, combat techniques and Breathing Techniques aren't stronger just because they're more expensive. You need to consider what suits you best. Actually, I'd recommend the Mad Dragon Saber Technique. Just imagine: once you've learned Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield, you'll be wielding a saber and using Mad Dragon Saber Technique. What Monster Beast could stand against you? You'll be the most dazzling guy on the Monster Beast battlefield..."

Li Jiangtao started chattering away again, but Lu Lin had already tuned him out.

If he was going to cultivate a saber technique, he might as well choose the strongest one.

Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes was a fierce saber technique, and it could also let him comprehend Sky Breaking Blade Intent. Mad Dragon Saber Technique was good, too, but its one flaw was that it was too cheap.

After checking the box beside the saber technique, Lu Lin went to the footwork page. Since he had already learned Soaring Cloud Steps, which excelled at pursuit and long-distance travel and was better suited to running, he chose a technique suited to dodging and weaving within a small area.

Snake Step.

As for defensive techniques, naturally, he chose the Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield Liu Qinglong had recommended.

Seeing Lu Lin finish choosing all his manuals, Li Jiangtao stopped talking. He helped Lu Lin collect the key to Qingyun Garden, and the two left the logistics department.

"Lu Lin, you didn't listen to my advice. Don't come crying to me when you're cultivating later."

Lu Lin shook his head without answering.

These techniques might be difficult for other people to cultivate, but for Lu Lin, they couldn't be simpler.

"Fine, suit yourself. Young people are always like this. They have to smash their heads against a wall before they'll listen to their elders."

"Wait a second."

Li Jiangtao suddenly slapped his forehead. He had been about to drive Lu Lin back to the Martial Arts School when he remembered Zhao Xun.

"Lu Lin, wait here. I'll go find a Yellow Grade Breathing Technique for Zhao Xun. I'll be right back."

Without waiting for Lu Lin to respond, he hurried back to the Martial Arts School's headquarters.

Lu Lin shook his head with a smile. He held the New House Key and the four manuals in his hands, a trace of worry passing through his eyes... The matter of the techniques was all sorted out, but when would he be able to deal with the Simplification Points?

Miss, it's almost noon and you still haven't sent me any news. Don't tell me you're going to stand me up.

Just as Lu Lin was thinking about Liu Weiran, a red car pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing Liu Weiran's lovely face.

"Lu Lin, don't tell me you actually came all the way here just to wait for me?"
