Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Bang bang bang!

The Martial Arts Arena echoed with the sounds of fierce collisions.

Lin Zheyu excelled in speed.

Facing Xiao Shi, a genius ranked 30th on the Hidden Dragon List, if he couldn’t overpower him with a surpassing force.

He could only use his best speed to compensate for the gap in combat experience between himself and his opponent.

Xiao Shi, as a genius from the War God Sect, possessed terrifying battle talent. Although in terms of speed and body technique, he was far from Lin Zheyu.

But for close combat, excessive speed and body technique weren’t necessary.

Xiao Shi stood in place, relying on his formidable battle talent to make small dodging movements, easily coping with Lin Zheyu’s attacks.

"His lightweight skill is even more powerful than rumors suggest; just how does he cultivate!"

Xiao Shi calmly dealt with Lin Zheyu’s offensive, and was quite surprised in his heart.

As the defending party, he needed to make very small evasive movements.

Unlike Lin Zheyu, whose lightweight skill was extremely strong, but because his movements were larger, there was room for Xiao Shi to react in the midst.

With his powerful battle talent, Xiao Shi could easily anticipate Lin Zheyu’s attacks and then defend and counterattack.

Usually, even when facing Martial Artists skilled in speed and technique, Xiao Shi could easily fight and win.

But against Lin Zheyu, it proved ineffective.

Xiao Shi discovered that Lin Zheyu’s speed had reached an astonishing level, his control over body technique was unbelievably agile.

"No wonder he’s ranked 30th on the Hidden Dragon List, his strength is indeed extraordinary."

Lin Zheyu also thought silently in his heart.

The biggest gap between him and these geniuses was mainly in combat experience and the battle awareness cultivated over decades.

There was no resolving that, Lin Zheyu had been cultivating for too short a time.

Even though he cherished every opportunity to fight these geniuses, rapidly absorbing experience, compared to geniuses like Xiao Shi from the War God Sect, he was still far behind.

"Such powerful spirit and soul, and terrifying perception and reaction capabilities."

Jiwei City squinted his eyes slightly, his heart astonished.

Having been a former Hidden Dragon List champion, Jiwei City quickly noticed interesting details from their brief encounter.

Lin Zheyu’s battle awareness was decent, yet it was far inferior to someone like Xiao Shi, an exceptional genius.

But his spirit and soul were extremely powerful, allowing Lin Zheyu’s perception and reaction to become exceptionally strong, compensating for the lack of combat experience.

With his powerful spiritual perception, Lin Zheyu could quickly react and counterattack, appearing as though he possessed formidable battle talent as well.

But Jiwei City quickly noticed something amiss.

Lin Zheyu’s attacks, dodges, and blocks were quite different from those of Martial Artists with powerful battle talent.

There was a sense of abruptness.

With Jiwei City’s experienced perspective, he soon speculated the reason.

"With such a strong spirit and soul, it’s no wonder his strength progresses so rapidly."

"Not sure if he naturally possesses exceptional spirit and soul talent, or had a serendipitous encounter that granted him such powerful spiritual perception."

A thought flashed through Jiwei City’s mind.

Earlier, upon learning of Lin Zheyu’s martial talent and intuition, he remained calm.

But now, knowing the opponent’s spirit and soul were powerful to this extent, even with Jiwei City’s cultivated temperament, he couldn’t help but feel envious.

Strengthening the spirit and soul is remarkably challenging.

Martial Artists condense true intent not just for cultivating true force but also to refine the spirit and strengthen the soul.

The process of condensing true intent is also one where the spirit and soul are tempered and strengthened.

Lin Zheyu was only at the Marrow Refining Realm, yet it’s been less than two years since he condensed true intent, and his spirit and soul are already so strong.

It’s truly unbelievable.

"I wonder if he has cultivated a Soul Secret Skill..."

"Probably not..."

"Not to mention the high difficulty of cultivating Soul Secret Skills before advancing to Transforming Force, it’s nearly impossible."

"Even if possible, the effect of Soul Secret Skills is not this potent."

"Martial Artists who cultivate Soul Secret Skills often require a long time, slowly tempering and strengthening over time."

"At least ten to twenty years are needed to see results."

Jiwei City observed Lin Zheyu with a complex mood.

His usually calm temperament was almost disrupted at this moment.

Fortunately, Jiwei City quickly dispelled distractions, resuming his normally calm and scholarly demeanor.

...

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

Lin Zheyu’s Great Power Vajra Fist was incomparably fierce, even though he deliberately restrained his strength, Xiao Shi still felt overwhelmed.

With the integration of Tyrannical True Intent and Turtle Breath True Intent, two distinct true intents aligned with the Great Power Vajra Fist’s concept, allowing Lin Zheyu to unleash the powerful might of this cultivation technique.

Meanwhile, complemented by his superb lightweight skill, the already formidable Great Power Vajra Fist became even harder to deal with.

Xiao Shi put forth all his strength, not daring to relax for a moment.

His unique Mad War True Intent from the War God Sect was pushed to its limit, utilizing his strong battle talent and battle awareness to fend off Lin Zheyu’s attack.

His defense was incredibly tight.

Although his expression was stern, there was no panic in his eyes; instead, they blazed with intense brilliance.

Not only was Lin Zheyu absorbing Xiao Shi’s combat experience through battle,

Xiao Shi also intended to utilize Lin Zheyu’s skills to break through his own limits.

He had been stuck at the 30th rank on the Hidden Dragon List for a long time, with his strength unable to improve for a while.
