Giant Dragon Breathing Method

Huff! Huff!

The chubby boy sprawled on the floor of the sword room, panting heavily with vacant eyes, looking utterly miserable as though he had been thoroughly worn out.

Bao'er secretly said to Taike, "A-Tai, Brother Sun Qiang is so pitiful."

Taike nodded disdainfully. A total weakling.

In truth, Little Qiang could not really be called a total weakling. At the very least, he had persisted through ten repetitions of the movements before finally having to sit down and rest from exhaustion.

Sun Qiang himself had never imagined that the movements he had been practicing for the past few days, which he had already become quite proficient at, would become so much more difficult when combined with the breathing method Zuo Yi had just taught him.

It was simply unscientific!

The breathing method Zuo Yi had taught Sun Qiang required him to synchronize it with the movements of the Body Tempering Art.

At first, Sun Qiang had not thought much of it. He believed breathing was such a simple matter that he should be able to handle it easily and master it quickly.

After practicing it a few times, however, he tasted the bitterness of it and nearly passed out on the spot.

In fact, what Zuo Yi had taught him was merely the most basic method of the Giant Dragon Breathing Method.

In the Sadea World, the Giant Dragon Breathing Method and the Knight Body Tempering Art had an extremely ancient legacy, one that could be traced back five eras—fifty thousand years.

Back then, the Sadeya Plane was a world ruled by dragons. All other intelligent lifeforms, including humans, were nothing but objects for the dragons to enslave and hunt.

To resist the dragons' rule, humanity tirelessly sought greater power. After countless sacrifices and efforts, they uncovered the mysteries of battle qi and magic from the dragons.

Knights and wizards emerged in an endless stream, eventually defeating the once-arrogant dragon race and forcing the dragons to flee to other planes, opening a new era for the Sadea World.

Tracing their origins, the Giant Dragon Breathing Method and Knight Body Tempering Art came from the dragon race. After five eras of inheritance and development, they could be said to have reached an exceptionally perfect state.

They were not to be underestimated!

As the first practitioner of the Knight Body Tempering Art and Giant Dragon Breathing Method on Blue Star, Sun Qiang had received Zuo Yi's personal guidance. He must have done countless good deeds in a previous life and knocked through innumerable wooden fish drums to earn such a fortunate opportunity.

"Get up!"

The wooden sword in Zuo Yi's hand ruthlessly smacked the chubby boy's shoulder. "Go run a few laps outside."

"Mm!"

Sun Qiang gritted his teeth and struggled to rise, dragging his incomparably heavy feet toward the outer hall to run laps.

Zuo Yi casually tossed the wooden sword aside and said flatly, "From now on, practice what I taught you properly. When you meet the standard, I'll teach you something new."

As an instructor at the martial arts school, Zuo Yi had fully carried out his duties. He had even given Sun Qiang an opportunity to change his fate.

What happened next depended on Sun Qiang himself. If he could meet the most basic requirements, Zuo Yi would not mind teaching him more advanced skills and even training him into Blue Star's first knight.

But if Sun Qiang could not meet those requirements, whether because of talent or effort, Zuo Yi would not waste any more time on him.

Clack!

As soon as Zuo Yi finished speaking, the wooden sword landed on the sword rack with flawless precision.

Sun Qiang shuddered all over, clenched his fists, and said, "Teacher, I'll definitely work hard!"

A burst of strength seemed to appear from nowhere within him, and he quickened his pace as he stepped out of the sword room.

Zuo Yi withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to his precious little darling, a doting smile appearing on his face.

"Sweetheart, come. Let Daddy see how well you've practiced your swordsmanship."

"Okay!"

Bao'er held the Dragonblood Wood Sword and raised her little head confidently. "Daddy, watch me!"

Woof woof!

Taike cheered her on from the side.

"Hmph!" "Ha!" "Hey!" "Yah!"

Under Zuo Yi's watchful gaze, Bao'er earnestly began practicing the Faston Court Cross-Swordsmanship she had learned yesterday.

While Zuo Yi had been teaching Sun Qiang the Giant Dragon Breathing Method earlier, she had not been idly watching. She had been practicing the whole time.

Sweat had even appeared on her forehead.

Zuo Yi nearly laughed.

When he had taught Bao'er the cross-swordsmanship yesterday, he had not taught her to shout "hmph, ha, hey" while performing the moves.

He had no idea where the little girl had learned it. She had added sound effects to the sword forms herself.

It was actually rather entertaining.

The serious expression on her little face, paired with her adorable childish voice, was simply unbearably cute!

"Ah!"

Having just completed four sword forms, Bao'er lowered her wooden sword and frowned. With a miserable expression, she said to Zuo Yi, "Daddy, I forgot one move. What should I do?"

Zuo Yi laughed heartily, crouched down, and pulled her into his arms. "It's okay. Daddy will teach you again!"

Bao'er smiled again. "Thank you, Daddy."

Thus, Zuo Yi once again taught her the basic sword forms of the Faston Court Cross-Swordsmanship hand in hand, while correcting the mistakes she had made during her practice.

Although Zuo Yi's main purpose in teaching Bao'er swordsmanship was to help the little girl exercise, not to train her into a swordswoman or knight already—she was still too young.

However, Zuo Yi discovered that Bao'er was not only intelligent but also talented in swordsmanship. She had learned several not-so-simple court cross-sword forms quite convincingly, showing exceptional comprehension.

Zuo Yi proudly guessed that she had probably inherited his talent.

Zuo Yi possessed extremely high martial talent. Back then, Shang He had once wanted to train him into a top professional swordsman.

After letting Bao'er practice another round by herself, Zuo Yi took a towel and wiped away her sweat. "That's enough for today. Daddy will take you to your sister now."

Bao'er obediently nodded. "Mm."

He took Bao'er out of the sword room and returned to Shang Yulin's office.

Shang Yulin, who was sorting through bills, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I need to go out for something."

Zuo Yi explained, "Could I trouble you to watch her for me?"

Shang Yulin was happy to help. "No problem."

She winked at Bao'er, and the two exchanged some little secret.

Zuo Yi smiled and instructed the little girl, "Stay here with your sister. Don't be naughty or run around."

He promised, "Daddy will be back soon. I'll take you out for a big meal at noon!"

"Really?"

Bao'er was delighted. "Then will Sister Yulin come have a big meal with us too?"

She had grown so close to Shang Yulin in such a short time? She did not even forget Sister Yulin when it came to having a big meal.

Zuo Yi was a little jealous. "Sure."

Shang Yulin smiled with pursed lips. "Thank you, but Sister has to go home at noon, so I can't go with you."

She took Bao'er's hand. "Next time."

"Okay then."

Bao'er was a little disappointed. Shang Yulin had treated her to cream cake earlier, and since the cream cake had been delicious, she wanted her sister to come along for the big meal.

Zuo Yi rubbed her head, then left the martial arts school.

When he arrived downstairs at Jiaping Building, Zuo Yi quickly sped away on his Harley motorcycle.

More than ten minutes later, the giant shell-shaped main building of the Hang City International Exhibition Center appeared in his view.

Zuo Yi found a place nearby to park, took off his helmet, but left his sunglasses on.

He glanced from afar at the exhibition center where he had returned through transmigration, only to see that the 2019 Daxia International Anime Expo had ended and the banner hanging at the venue entrance had been replaced with another name.

Following the long pedestrian walkway, Zuo Yi unhurriedly arrived at a jewelry store near the exhibition center.

Gold Jade Fortune Jewelry!

Just like when Zuo Yi had first come here, two beautiful greeters were still standing at the entrance of Gold Jade Fortune Jewelry. He even remembered what one of them looked like.

But this time, Zuo Yi did not go inside.

He stood outside the jewelry store's display window and looked through the thick glass.

Zuo Yi had come to "visit" the store manager here, Manager Guan Zhishang!

Evil had to be eliminated completely. After killing Wild Boar and Joker last night, Zuo Yi had already placed this mastermind behind the scenes on the list of "faction enemies"—a list of people who had to die!

Zuo Yi quickly found his target.

Gold Jade Fortune Jewelry was doing good business today, with many customers in the store, so Guan Zhishang had come out to receive them as well.

He was recommending diamond rings to a young couple when his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He subconsciously turned to look toward the display window.

People came and went outside the window, but there was nothing unusual.

Zuo Yi was nowhere to be seen!
