Chapter 119: Chapter 89: Super-tier Breathing Technique (Part 2)
"Go on, go play by yourself. If you get hungry, drink the nectar."
Pei Ze took out two bottles of nectar and placed them on the table before returning to his bedroom.
After closing the door, he sat cross-legged on the bed and summoned the Eye of Omniscience.
[Power of Rules: 418]
Pei Ze then looked at the task list.
[Task 1: Analyze Gale Rune. Estimated time: 67 days]
[Task 2: Analyze Earth Rune. Estimated time: 67 days]
[Task 3: Improve Burning Hand Spell model. Estimated time: 55 days]
Without hesitation, Pei Ze instantly accelerated the analysis tasks for the Gale Rune and the Earth Rune.
In an instant, as the analysis of the two Elemental Runes completed, a tide of information flooded his mind.
He closed his eyes to digest it for a moment, then opened them, a satisfied expression on his face.
’Lightning, Gale, and Earth. For now, these three Elemental Runes are enough.’
The Lightning Rune enhances attacks.
The Earth Rune enhances defense.
The Gale Rune enhances agility.
The three runes complemented each other, enough to raise his power by a whole level.
’Even without using any other methods, I can fight a Tier One Legendary Knight head-on with just these three Elemental Runes.’
Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction. He then took the books Yin Xue had given him from his dimensional bag and began to scan them.
The content of the Breathing Techniques was much simpler than that of the Spell Books. There weren’t as many complex models and diagrams, so scanning them was incredibly fast.
In just about half an hour, Pei Ze had recorded all the Breathing Techniques into his mind using the Eye of Omniscience.
There were thirty-seven Breathing Techniques in total.
Eighteen Basic Breathing Techniques.
Eleven Mid-tier Breathing Techniques.
Six High-tier Breathing Techniques.
To his surprise, there were even two Extreme-tier Breathing Techniques.
It was clear that Yin Xue had put real effort into this.
Making a mental note of the favor, Pei Ze then recited silently in his mind:
"Eye of Omniscience, using all these Breathing Techniques as a foundation, create a new one that can comprehensively strengthen my physical constitution."
[Task created. Beginning Breathing Technique deduction. Estimated time: 132 days]
Without a second thought, Pei Ze accelerated it instantly.
In an instant, a completely new Cultivation Technique appeared in his mind.
Pei Ze jumped off the bed and immediately began practicing the Breathing Technique on the spot.
As he performed the series of movements, his skin turned crimson. Wisps of warm vapor escaped from his pores, and in an instant, his entire body was shrouded in a faint white mist.
This was a phenomenon he had never experienced before during his cultivation.
Even the first time he practiced the Cyan Mist Breathing Technique, nothing like this had happened.
About half an hour later, when Pei Ze finished one cycle of the Breathing Technique and stopped, he felt a pleasant comfort permeating the scorching heat in his body, as if he had just stepped out of a hot spring.
Looking at his constitution attribute again, it had already reached 87.29!
An increase of a full 2.35 points!
Pei Ze couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight.
’The effect is too good, unbelievably good!’
’The effect is always best the first time practicing; it should gradually diminish after this. But even so, at this rate of growth, it will only take three or four days for my constitution attribute to reach one hundred!’
Pei Ze’s heart surged with excitement.
’As expected of a powerful Cultivation Technique created from so many others!’
’This effect definitely far surpasses an Extreme-tier Breathing Technique!’
’With this Breathing Technique, it won’t be long before I can break through and become a Legendary Knight.’
’But then again, what should I call a Breathing Technique that’s even better than an Extreme-tier one?’
’A Super-tier Breathing Technique?’
Pei Ze pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a chuckle.
’Who cares what tier it belongs to? As long as the effect is powerful enough, it’s fine.’
After composing himself, Pei Ze carefully reviewed the content of the new Breathing Technique. He discovered that its cultivation was divided into far more levels than the Cyan Mist Breathing Technique—a full twelve of them.
What surprised him even more was that, according to the feedback from the Eye of Omniscience, only a Legendary Knight could truly master the basics of this Breathing Technique.
Although those below the Legendary Realm could practice it, the body-tempering effect would be drastically weakened.
’This effect is the drastically weakened version?’
Pei Ze was shocked.
’Just how powerful would the real effect be?’
’I can’t believe I created a Breathing Technique exclusively for Legendary Knights to cultivate.’
It took him a while to come to his senses, a joyous smile spreading across his face.
As far as he knew, Legendary Knights didn’t practice Breathing Techniques.
Upon reaching the Legendary Realm, what Knights needed to do was commune with the elements, absorb as many Energy Particles as possible to strengthen their bodies, and simultaneously accommodate more Elemental Power.
This was very similar to a Second-level Wizard Apprentice.
Second-level Wizard Apprentices also manipulated Energy Particles to strengthen themselves, which was why their constitution could improve so quickly.
What a Legendary Knight could do, a Wizard Apprentice could achieve just by reaching the second level. This was one of the reasons why Wizards were far superior to Knights.
’With this Breathing Technique, my cultivation speed after becoming a Legendary Knight should far surpass that of other Legendary Knights.’
Pei Ze smiled and said to himself:
"Just like the All-Knowing Meditation Technique, I’ll call it the All-Knowing Breathing Technique."
After resting for a while, he continued practicing the Breathing Technique.
He only stopped cultivating when his body reached its limit.
By now, his constitution had soared to 90.75.
In just a few short hours, his constitution had shot up by nearly 6 points. The powerful tempering effect of the Super-tier Breathing Technique was enough to stun any Knight.
Letting out a long breath, Pei Ze turned his attention back to his Power of Rules.
’I still have 152 points of Power of Rules left.’
Pei Ze thought for a moment, then used all his remaining Power of Rules, along with his Spiritual Power, to improve his Magic.
In the end, he improved a total of four One-Ring Spells.
Burning Hand, Summon Level-1 Monster, Electric Claw, and Charm Humans.
With this, Pei Ze had now mastered eleven improved One-Ring Spells.
’I still need to improve Freezing Beam, Fog Concealment Technique, Hypnosis Skill, and Sleep Technique.’
’As for Feather Fall Technique and Comprehend Languages, I’ll put them aside for now.’
The Feather Fall Technique could apply a floating force to the target, causing them to fall only slightly faster than a feather.
Pei Ze had learned this Magic just in case, thinking it might be needed in certain special circumstances. Naturally, he didn’t need to occupy a task slot in the Eye of Omniscience to improve it.
In fact, with his current physical strength, he wouldn’t even be hurt falling from a hundred meters high. He could just land, dust himself off, and get up as if nothing happened.
So, the chances of him needing this Magic were probably slim; he had only learned it as a precaution.
As for Comprehend Languages, as the name implied, it allowed the target to understand the speech of any creature or read previously unfamiliar text—provided they were in contact with the creature or the text.
Pei Ze had learned this Magic mainly for future contact with Extraterritorial Life.
As a Wizard, contact with Extraterritorial Life was almost unavoidable.
Whether it was planar travel, planar invasions, or biological experiments and research, contact with Extraterritorial Life was inevitable.
Therefore, Comprehend Languages was a One-Ring Spell that almost every Wizard had to master.
’If I get the chance, I should learn a few more languages. It’s not always convenient to cast Comprehend Languages.’
Pei Ze muttered to himself.
Learning an alien language was an incredibly arduous process.
The Draconic language course offered at the academy had stumped countless Wizard Apprentices.
Dragons were a race born with innate spellcasting abilities, and their language naturally contained the power to communicate with the elements.
Because of this, many Wizard incantations were in Draconic.
If one couldn’t master Draconic, they couldn’t even dream of becoming a Wizard.
However, Draconic was profound and mysterious. Not only were its grammatical rules extremely complex and its vocabulary vast, but because it was the language of dragons, many words had strange, tongue-twisting pronunciations that seemed impossible for human vocal cords to produce.
To this day, many apprentices were still stuck on this course, causing their speed of learning Magic to be excruciatingly slow.
Of course, this only applied to ordinary Wizard Apprentices.
For Pei Ze, mastering a language was just a matter of scanning a few more books.
With the Eye of Omniscience, he could easily master any alien language.
Composing himself, Pei Ze turned his attention back to the task list and queued up improvement tasks for Freezing Beam, Fog Concealment Technique, and Sleep Technique all at once.
’That should be about it.’
’Now I just have to wait for tomorrow’s trial.’
Pei Ze looked out the window at the night sky, a dark glint flashing in his eyes before vanishing.
