Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Huang Youwei couldn’t help but express his excitement when he saw Lin Zheyu take out the Hidden Dragon Order.

He loved the feeling of swaggering into other sects, showing off a bit, and then issuing a challenge.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t on-site when Uncle defeated Yue Chengzhi, missing the chance to see that arrogant guy defeated by Uncle, something Huang Youwei deeply regretted.

He had long disliked that guy.

Back when Yue Chengzhi and Kong Bo came from the Broken Star Pavilion to the Bitao Pavilion, their condescending attitude was infuriating just to think about.

"Hmm."

Lin Zheyu nodded slightly, holding the Hidden Dragon Order, as a vast map appeared in his consciousness.

...

Outside Wuling City, in the dense mountain forest.

Two young men strolled leisurely through the forest, their expressions calm, as if they were out for a casual walk.

The young man on the left exuded an imposing aura, filled with battle intent, so intense one dared not look directly at him.

The man on the right, however, appeared cultured and elegant, giving off a scholarly vibe.

"Mr. Xiao, what interesting matter have you discovered that makes you wear such an expression?" Jiwei City asked with a smile.

"Do you remember Lin Zheyu from the Bitao Pavilion?"

"Yesterday, he issued a challenge to me through the Hidden Dragon Order."

Xiao Shi smiled and said, "I just looked up his information, and he’s already ranked 53rd on the Hidden Dragon List, truly an astonishing talent."

Xiao Shi commented.

Facing Lin Zheyu’s challenge, Xiao Shi felt no pressure, as if viewing a talented junior issuing a challenge.

In Mr. Xiao’s heart, there was more a sense of amusement.

Between 53rd and 30th on the Hidden Dragon List, the difference in strength was vast.

Xiao Shi had immense confidence in his own strength and didn’t believe Lin Zheyu, who had only been with the Bitao Pavilion for over a year, could defeat him.

"Indeed interesting."

"His talent is truly astonishing."

"By his looks, he seems less than fifty. Having joined the Bitao Pavilion for only about a year and already ranking 53rd on the Hidden Dragon List, such talent is truly enviable."

Jiwei City smiled and said.

Though he spoke of envy, his eyes showed no trace of such emotion.

Jiwei City hailed from the Confucian Sect, following the path of Confucian martial arts, cultivating the true intent of grandeur, with a remarkably serene nature.

Confucian Sect cultivation differed significantly from other sects.

Confucian martial arts leaned more towards the traditional martial path, solely cultivating the true intent of grandeur, emphasizing disposition.

Some even followed the traditional martial path directly.

First cultivate oneself, reading history makes one wise, poetry makes the soul luminous, mathematics precise, science profound, ethics solemn, rhetoric and logic make one eloquent...

Once a martial belief is formed, it condenses the true intent of grandeur.

Jiwei City, though cultivating the true intent of grandeur through an intent map, had already ventured far on the martial belief path.

He was not far from fully forming a martial belief.

Otherwise, no amount of luck could help him secure the first spot on the Hidden Dragon List.

"After defeating a few more demon puppets, I must return first. "

"Having just accepted Lin Zheyu’s challenge, I, Xiao, will return to meet this rising genius."

"Mr. Ji, would you like to return together to watch the duel?"

Xiao Shi said with a smile.

"I would love that."

"The last banquet, I didn’t have an in-depth conversation with him; this time I can have a thorough talk." Jiwei City said.

After speaking, his expression shifted, his figure blurred, and he disappeared in an instant.

Whoosh—

With a whooshing sound, Jiwei City’s hand suddenly held a thin sword, a sharp cold light flashed, and the roar of demon puppets rang out suddenly.

...

On the morning of the third day.

The group led by Lin Zheyu arrived at the Wuling City branch of the War God Sect.

Xiao Shi’s response was swift; as soon as Huang Youwei delivered the challenge letter, they received a reply that very afternoon.

"Do you think Uncle can win this challenge? It’s Xiao Shi, after all, a terrifying talent in the top 30 of the Hidden Dragon List."

Xu Kai’en said softly behind Lin Zheyu.

Besides Huang Youwei, Xu Kai’en, and Wei Dongguang, Inner Sect disciples like Bo Yi and Gu Qing had also come.

Upon hearing Xu Kai’en’s voice, they remained expressionless but subtly listened attentively, clearly interested in the topic.

Especially Bo Yi.

He even subtly slowed down his pace, walking alongside Huang Youwei and the others.

Only Gu Qing, the reserved one, seemed indifferent, silently following behind Lin Zheyu.

"Definitely can!"

"What’s Xiao Shi? I once heard my grandfather praise Uncle Lin, saying his talent is monstrous, worthy of the Hidden Dragon List’s top ten."

"A little Xiao Shi is certainly no match."

Huang Youwei chuckled.

As the grandson of Bai Zhong, he often heard inside news.

"Did the Pavilion Master really say that?"

"Then, Uncle Lin’s odds in this challenge are quite high." Wei Dongguang said.

"It’s just potential, representing potential."

"Uncle’s talent is indeed strong, but he has only been with the Infinite Sect for a little over a year and hasn’t fully matured. Defeating Xiao Shi would be difficult, right?"

Bo Yi couldn’t help but say.

When Lin Zheyu first arrived, he saw him as a rival, but later was surprised to find Lin became a True Disciple, turning into his uncle in the sect.

After a year, he admired Uncle Lin greatly, fully acknowledging Lin Zheyu’s talent surpassed his own.

Even so, Bo Yi did not believe Lin Zheyu could defeat Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi was also considered a legendary figure in Wuling City, rising from mediocrity, joining the War God Sect, and advancing rapidly, becoming an idol for many to worship.
