After Jiang Yuan woke up, he felt his head throbbing intensely, completely muddled. It took him a full half minute to clear his head, and he felt pain whenever he tried to think. This time, the consumption was much greater than when he had previously deduced the Immortal Body Tempering Method! And the result was also quite substantial. He checked the introduction.
Kindling Breathing Method (SSS-Rank): With breathing as the guide, the body is like a burning kindling, endlessly regenerating. It purifies and absorbs all energy particles from the outside world, upgrades one's potential, breaks through limitations, and evolves one's life level.
Effect 1: Every attack carries Kindling Power, containing purification and destruction. Attack power is increased by 100%, and damage reduces the enemy's self-healing and recovery by 50%.
Effect 2: Cultivation speed is increased tenfold, recovery ability is increased tenfold. After being injured, one can quickly self-repair and self-heal. As long as the inner fire is not extinguished, stamina will never be depleted.
Effect 3: After the body and mind reach harmonious unity, during the process of life level evolution, there is a certain chance of igniting one's own miracle fire, triggering a miracle.
Simple, direct, and brutal! Yet it contained power beyond imagination.
Just the tenfold increase in cultivation speed and tenfold increase in recovery ability was enough to suppress almost all breathing methods on Blue Star.
Not to mention the attack power increase and the built-in severe injury effect.
"As expected of an SSS-Rank breathing method, it's too strong," Jiang Yuan exclaimed.
Even if it were cultivated by a warrior with a trash talent and an ordinary profession, over time, they would probably become an incredible top-tier expert.
"Let's test the effect," Jiang Yuan immediately sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and began cultivating.
With each inhale and exhale, changing the rhythm, he entered a state.
He gradually felt the other side of the world, feeling countless glowing particles appearing in the surrounding void, different colors, lightning particles, fire particles, dark particles, radiation particles... Vast and filling every corner of the world.
And he felt as if he had transformed into a chaotic vortex, emitting a massive suction force, unceremoniously devouring all these energy particles.
As a large amount of energy particles surged in, Jiang Yuan's own magnetic field energy increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, the blood in his body became increasingly surging, cells were cheering, bone marrow emitted light, and the density of his body became greater and greater.
Ten minutes passed.
In the deepest darkness within Jiang Yuan's body, a tiny flame appeared, warm, pure, full of vitality, containing hope.
"First step, igniting the kindling, complete."
The moment the kindling was ignited, his physique and bone marrow became crystal clear, the spiritual Domain in his glabella emitted pure light points, showing a faint tendency to open, his biological magnetic field surged by a large margin, and a vast life aura emanated from him. The withered and dead flowers and plants in the flower pots on the balcony at home sprouted from yellow and withered to lush green, grass blades grew, and flower petals bloomed.
...Seven forty-four in the evening.
Jiang Yuan woke up from his cultivation state, opened his eyes, a faint golden light flashed in his pupils, his eyes were pure and bright, with a crystal-like luster.
"Check panel."
[Character: Jiang Yuan]
[Race: Human.]
[Age: 17]
[Level - Unranked]
[Profession: Martial God (Myth)]
[Talent: Infinite Amplification (Primal), Supreme Analysis (God-level), Burning Wood Fire (E Level)]
[Stamina: 690]
[Strength: 700]
[Speed: 680]
[Spirit: 680]
[Luck: 5]
[Passive Specialization: Limit of Power (All attributes increased tenfold in normal state)]
[Active Skills: Divine Evasion, Exploding Star, Godspeed]
[Cultivation Methods: Ripple Force Technique, Immortal Body Tempering Method (sss), Kindling Breathing Method (sss)]
[Equipment: crimson bracers (Rare)]
Every 1 point increase in his basic attributes would become 10 points under the effect of [Limit of Power].
His training during this period had increased his vitality and blood, and his overall attributes had improved significantly, resulting in his four-dimensional attributes increasing by another large margin compared to before!
"This passive specialization is too abnormal," Jiang Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Perhaps when he becomes a Martial Practitioner (One-Rank), his four-dimensional attributes will all break through a thousand.
"Even without using skills, Xia Qinghou and those other prodigies probably wouldn't be able to take one punch from me right now," Jiang Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power contained within, his heart surging with excitement.
"Once I step into the Martial Practitioner (One-Rank), as long as it's not some bizarre ability involving the spiritual Domain, curses, or Karma, I'll even have the strength to fight a Fourth-Order Martial Artist."
Click.
The sound of a door opening came from outside the room.
"I'm back!"
Hearing the girl's cheerful voice, Jiang Yuan knew it was Mo Xixi who had returned.
"Ha! Ah! Hey!"
Listening to the sounds outside, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but push open the door and saw Mo Xixi, still wearing her school uniform, standing on the living room sofa practicing some unknown boxing technique.
Jiang Yuan: "...What are you doing?"
"I'm practicing martial arts," Mo Xixi said seriously.
"Where did you learn that boxing technique? It's so... ugly, and quite useless," Jiang Yuan commented, arms crossed.
"Sister Chen Zi taught me. Where is it ugly? I think she looked very good when she did it."
"Then you're not doing it right."
Mo Xixi turned her head, looking at Jiang Yuan indignantly, "I'm not practicing anymore!"
"Why did you come here to bother me instead of going to train?"
When she saw Jiang Yuan, she was suddenly stunned, and she leaned in to examine him closely.
Jiang Yuan was confused by her gaze: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Yuan, are you a little different from before?"
"How am I different?"
"You feel like you've become better looking than before, and your skin is better too."
Mo Xixi circled around Jiang Yuan, occasionally reaching out to touch him.
Jiang Yuan slapped her hand away, saying calmly, "Maybe it's because of the job change."
"That's great, I want to change jobs and awaken my talent early too," Mo Xixi pouted, very envious.
...Eight thirty in the evening.
Jiang Yuan and his Aunt's family sat around the table, chatting about what happened today. The living room TV was broadcasting the news.
[Breaking News: An explosion occurred at Longhu Building in Nanjiang City. Relevant agencies are heading there to handle the situation. Please nearby residents take note of safety.]
"Longhu Building, isn't that nearby?" Mo Lingfeng said.
Mo Xixi ran to the balcony: "It's true, it's on fire."
Jiang Yuan also went to the balcony and looked outside.
A tall building in the distance was on fire, the flames burning fiercely, the crimson firelight illuminating the night sky. Some air shuttles and flying vehicles were heading towards it.
"Today has really been full of incidents," Tao Yufeng said. "Xixi, and Xiao Yuan, you should both be careful in the future and try not to go to places with few people."
"Got it," Mo Xixi replied, dragging out the sound.
Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered his appointment with Guan Xiaoxiao and checked the time.
"It's already this late."
He stood up, "Aunt, a classmate is looking for me. I'll go out for a bit."
"Remember to come back early," Tao Yufeng reminded him.
"Okay."
...At the same time.
In a hundred-meter-tall building next to Longhu Building, a young man in a black uniform put away his sniper rifle and said with a grim expression into his wristband, "Captain, I failed."
"The target was injured and disappeared, leaving my line of sight."
Soon, a steady male voice sounded from the wristband.
"Okay, I understand."
"Attention everyone, target lost, repeat, target lost."
"All team members, search the Longhu area."
"The target is a Martial Practitioner (One-Rank) registered with the Martial Artist Association, C-level natural talent sequence, job changed to Assassin, his ability has undergone an unknown mutation,"
"Danger level raised to Level Two."
"Received."
"Received."
"Received."
Inside the several-hundred-meter-tall clock tower in the center of Nanjiang City.
Patrol Division office.
Zhang Wei, the leader of Patrol Division Team One, whose chest was wrapped in bandages, sat at his desk and sighed.
Across from him sat a woman eating spicy hot pot, exhaling as she ate: "So spicy, so spicy!"
The woman had ethereal blue hair that reached her waist, tied up at the ends, but her eyes were covered by a black ribbon. Even without seeing her full face, one could feel her unparalleled beauty from the small face that was revealed.
Hearing Zhang Wei sigh, she asked curiously, "Brother Wei, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just that there have been over a dozen incidents in the city tonight," Zhang Wei said, his head aching.
Although those few Martial Artists were only First-Order and Second-Order, not a big problem, their sudden, rootless rampage caused great harm to ordinary people.
"I've only been away for a year, and Nanjiang City has become so chaotic? Riots, crimes, and even Wang Realm creatures descending, it's terrifying."
"You don't know, when I took the air rail back this afternoon, I saw the void rift in the sky, I was really scared to death."
"I've never seen a scene like that even in the Imperial Capital."
The blue-haired girl chattered non-stop.
Zhang Wei's head ached from the noise, "You were studying well in the Imperial Capital, why are you back now?"
"What? Can't people come back to visit family during the holidays? So spicy."
"Tell me the truth."
"I came to recruit students, to get some credits."
"..."
"If you were going to come back, you should have come back earlier, then not so many things would have happened," Zhang Wei sighed.
"How would I know that?" the blue-haired girl said, putting down the spicy hot pot, looking satisfied, "I'm full."
Zhang Wei looked at the girl in front of him with complex emotions and emotion.
Yan Runan, nineteen years old, a LV39 Fourth-Order job-changed Martial Artist, S-Class sequence talent, job-changed to the legendary profession - Eye Technique Master. Any one of these points is enough to shock outsiders' eyes, an absolute favored daughter of heaven.
"I want to move around after eating and drinking my fill. Let me help you too," Yan Runan volunteered.
Zhang Wei was short on manpower, "Then you go to the Longhu area and help me investigate the reason for this collective rampage of Martial Artists, or if someone is manipulating them from behind."
"No problem," Yan Runan said, full of energy.
