Breathing Techniques, while often discussed similarly to Second-Tier Martial Skills, aren't limited to their effectiveness for Second-Tier martial artists.

Before a martial artist reaches Fourth-Tier and unlocks the body's hidden potentials, Breathing Techniques can play a crucial role in combat, cultivation, and many other aspects.

Furthermore, high-level Breathing Techniques can continue to provide significant assistance in various areas for martial artists even after they reach Fourth-Tier, thanks to their unique properties.

S-Grade Breathing Technique, Crimson Gang Yan Wu, latest transaction price 8 million Hanxia Coin.

"S-Grade Breathing Technique, Endless Vitality, latest transaction price 8.5 million Hanxia Coin."

Seated on the wooden chair, Ye Li watched the prices displayed on his phone, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.

Clearly, his previous understanding of S-Grade Breathing Technique prices was far too limited.

He had thought they'd be at most around five million Hanxia Coin, but the search results showed they were so much more expensive...

It could only be said that poverty had limited Ye Li's imagination.

But when he considered that a single Breathing Technique could benefit a noble family or a sect for generations, making it more likely to cultivate outstanding young talents, The price seemed reasonable.

Fortunately, he had agreed to it in advance.

If someone else had snatched this opportunity, it would have been worse than killing him...

Ye Li closed his phone and looked up at Jiang Qingzhu, who was closing the door, and asked softly, "What do you want to learn?"

"Spear techniques."

Jiang Qingzhu turned around, her small lips moving, "My spear techniques are terrible."

"Actually, they're just generally bad."

Thinking about the assistance she could provide him, Ye Li's tone was unusually gentle.

In fact, during the fight that afternoon, Ye Li had spotted the flaws in Jiang Qingzhu's attempts to cast martial skills several times and directly interrupted her casting.

While the full mastery of the Cloud-Breaking Spear Technique contributed to this, the Cloud-Breaking Spear Technique, at best, was only a mid-to-low tier Second-Tier Martial Skill, and even at full mastery, it was just that.

The bigger reason lay in Ye Li's [Spear Martial Saint Body]--

[Greatly enhances the user's proficiency with spear and staff-like weapons, increasing the cultivation speed of spear and staff martial skills by 500%!]

The description alone was terrifying.

And the performance was even more so.

At this very moment, even within the entire Ying Province, Ye Li's spear techniques were undoubtedly the strongest within the same tier!

After all.

Recalling the two powerful figures from mythology in his past life who possessed the Indestructible Golden Soul--

One was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who could still "display his might and show off his spirit" even when surrounded by the twenty-four Heavenly Thunder Gods.

The other was the Heavenly Court's God of War, Erlang Shen, who could split mountains and save his mother, with considerable achievements, who "listened to orders but not decrees."

Both were masters of this type of weapon, reaching the pinnacle of their art.

Since Ye Li shared the same Golden Soul as them and awakened such a powerful innate talent, it was understandable.

"First, show me the spear technique martial skill you use most often."

Ye Li extended his hand towards Jiang Qingzhu and said calmly, "Let me see how I should teach you."

Since the terms had been settled, he no longer had any reservations.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingzhu didn't find anything amiss and nodded obediently, "This Riding the Wind Dragon Classic is the spear technique I use most often now."

"It's just that I've only just started learning it, so my movements are a bit clumsy. Like this afternoon, I couldn't even use it at all..."

As she spoke, she took out a classic text from the ring on her hand and obediently handed it to Ye Li.

"Should I go back first and come back tomorrow?"

Jiang Qingzhu blinked and looked at the martial skill she had spent more than half a year to barely grasp, saying considerately, "The Martial Arts Exam is still some time away, I'm not... not in a particular hurry."

"The Martial Arts Exam is still a month away, but the exchange matches are only a few days away, aren't they?"

Ye Li flipped through the classic text in his hand and said casually, "Just stay here for a bit. I'll just take a quick look, no rush."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curved upwards.

Looking at the text appearing on the panel, his mood also became joyful.

[Third-Tier Martial Skill. Riding the Wind Dragon Classic (Rare)]

As expected of the Jiang family's eldest daughter, her commonly used martial skill turned out to be...

"This martial skill is really not easy to learn."

Jiang Qingzhu's expression was a little complicated as she tactfully advised, "I spent a long time on it. Even if your talent is much stronger than mine, it will be difficult to grasp it in a short period."

"Apart from Tang Yao from the Sword Pavilion, the other opponents in this exchange competition aren't that strong. Even if my martial skills haven't improved yet, I can still beat them."

"Training is a matter of patience. Martial skills can't be rushed," Jiang Qingzhu quoted his father's famous saying, trying to make the young man change his mind.

But all he got was Ye Li frowning.

"You have two choices now."

He looked up at Jiang Qingzhu and said calmly, "Wait outside, or shut up and stay here for a while."

"Which one?"

"The second one." Jiang Qingzhu lowered his head, wisely choosing to stop talking.

Silence fell in the room for a moment.

Shifting her gaze from the young man's serious profile, Jiang Qingzhu began to examine the surroundings.

Everyone had the same basic facilities in their rooms; the difference lay in the equipment they added themselves.

For example, Jiang Qingzhu's room had a very expensive Spirit Gathering Array, completely different from what ordinary school team members had.

It not only condensed Blood Essence and accelerated the cleansing of meridians but also reduced the risk of qi deviation and could even adjust the ambient temperature to suit the user.

Ye Li's room, on the other hand, was more simply furnished.

The only thing that stood out was how much the young man seemed to use the Punch Power Tester... huh?

When her gaze fell on the Punch Power Tester, Jiang Qingzhu froze, her pupils contracting slightly.

What caught her attention was not just the punching bag with a large hole in it.

It was also the blood-red numbers that reappeared on the large screen, numbers that had previously disappeared due to a malfunction:

"Punch Power: 6800 kg!"
