East Courtyard.
After seeing the others off.
Jiang Ning returned to his own courtyard.
"Young master, they're gone?" Lü Yi asked as she tidied up.
"Mm, they're gone!" Jiang Ning nodded.
Then he glanced at her again. "You worked hard today!"
"Young master, you jest. This is simply my duty!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled and said no more.
A moment later.
In the lake.
Jiang Ning felt the lake water nourishing him as the power of his qi and blood rapidly recovered.
[Skill]: Water-Fire True Force (Fourth Limit Break 4566/5000) (Traits: Water-Fire Immortal Robe, Water-Fire Dominion, Stone Boiling, Water-Fire Harmony)
I'm not going to the Martial Academy today. I may as well grind Water-Fire True Force to the limit and complete the fifth limit break!
With that thought, he made his decision.
His gaze then shifted downward.
[Skill]: Wind-Thunder Steps (First Limit Break 288/2000) (Trait: Wind Breathing) [Wind Breathing]: Allows one to sense the breath of the wind and turn the wind's momentum to one's own use.
Wind Breathing was the new trait he had gained when he broke the limit of Wind-Thunder Steps two days ago.
It also proved that his choice had been entirely correct.
He had scarcely spent any time on movement techniques, yet he now possessed a superior movement art at the limit-breaking level.
On top of that, he had gained a trait as well. To him, such gains were no different from an unexpected delight.
A moment later.
He slowly stepped ashore along the stone steps extending into the lake.
Splash—
Lake water streamed off his body, sending ripples and sprays across the surface.
By the time he had fully emerged from the lake, his clothes had already dried completely, as though he had never entered the water at all.
