Breathing techniques are the foundation of Qi power; the stronger the breathing technique, the more formidable the Qi power.
Typically, players who use Qi power would choose an E-tier crack breathing technique at the first order, and they wouldn't change their breathing technique until the third order.
The reason they do not change their breathing technique at the second order is that most D-tier, and even C-tier crack drops of advanced breathing techniques do not offer significant improvements over the mid- to low-tier techniques.
But special-tier breathing techniques are different!
Special-tier breathing techniques can be considered a qualitative transformation! Once fully mastered, all moves' power will increase by at least 30%!!!
However, due to the extreme difficulty of acquiring special-tier breathing techniques, players usually only consider them at the third order.
Chen Qi never imagined that in this place, he would actually obtain a special-tier breathing technique, and it's even a special edition from the Blade Witch!
Great stuff!
The Witch's Battle Suit, the Eternal Burning Blade, breathing technique... Chen Qi hesitated for a moment but still chose the breathing technique.
"Blade Breathing Technique."
With a light shout from Chen Qi, a bright red card appeared in his hand.
On the back of the card, there was a vibrant red blood blade.
On the front, a red-haired witch with a ponytail was holding a long blade, standing motionless beneath a waterfall, practicing.
Is this the appearance of the Blade Witch? What an exquisite card.
My constitution is just over forty... Chen Qi rubbed his fingers and used the card to cut his fingertip.
As blood touched the card, it slowly dissolved, and a vast amount of knowledge flooded into his brain.
It's pretty difficult to digest... Chen Qi felt the knowledge in his brain.
Speaking of difficulty to digest, this skill card is even above his spiritual power origin skill 'Heart of the Bonfire'!
Another long practice...
This skill can be upgraded twice...
Blade Breathing Technique was added to his skill bar.
Chen Qi then checked his current non-profession skill bar.
White Mist Breathing Technique, Blade Body Forging Skill - Early Stage, Burst, Dove Perception, Hunter's Eye, Shadow Armor, Heart of the Bonfire, Lower-order Meditation Technique, Candle Meditation Technique, Shadow Charm, Shadow Step, Hound Step, Shadow Blade Slash, Blade Breathing Technique...
And the newly mastered Blade Release 'Sacrifice My Flesh, Sever My Sinews'!
Currently, his skill inventory was beginning to take shape.
The skills he had learned were few in number but rarely redundant, mostly essential skills that could support each other.
Particularly in terms of inspiration and agility.
One could say Chen Qi was already a fairly competent second-order Transcendent.
If one had to point out his current shortcomings, one would be the lack of high-order Qi power skills. Thus, Chen Qi was very eager to acquire 'Qi Power Transformation,' which is the core of many high-order Qi skills.
Due to a lack of Qi Power Transformation and some advanced Qi techniques, Chen Qi currently only masters offensive moves of Qi power, having only one Shadow Blade Slash and its derivative moves!
The second one is constitution, an important source of strength from Body Forging Skill.
His current Body Forging Skill was still an early stage technique obtained from an E-tier crack.
Chen Qi's current physique mainly came from luxurious nutrition, not skill.
Constitution and strength provided by skills were a huge gap!
However, Body Forging Skill is similar to Breathing Technique in that the skill cards dropped by D-tier cracks are too weak; it's better to learn directly from the third rank.
Speaking of which, Blade Breathing Technique is usually a god-tier skill that only third-order Transcendents can obtain...
Chen Qi took a deep breath and silently clicked to upgrade the Blade Breathing Technique!
Currently, he had also accumulated 10,000 Spiritual Points!
Upgrading to lv2 requires 3,000 Spiritual Points!
Clicking twice, upgrade!
[Your Blade Breathing Technique has been upgraded to Lv2. Once fully mastered, you can obtain a constant state of Qi protection.]
[Your Spiritual Points are insufficient. Lv2 upgrading to lv3 requires 20,000 Spiritual Points!]
How much? 20,000 Spiritual Points!
Chen Qi couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
20,000 Spiritual Points, that's a massive amount!
For a second-order Transcendent, to accumulate such a sum would likely require clearing four C-tier cracks!
Chen Qi propped his chin with his hand.
Although it's a bit costly, it also precisely demonstrates the power of the Blade Breathing Technique.
The only difficulty is that, in learning the Blade Breathing Technique, he isn't a Blade Phase Transcendent.
Without the Blade Witch, his speed of mastering skills would have to rely on diligent practice every morning and evening!
"Sigh—"
Chen Qi couldn't help but look towards the Blade Witch amidst the smoke:
"Blade Teacher, can we make amends now? Could you teach me a little more?"
Explore more at empire
Chen Qi said this in jest.
Missing Blade Teacher on the very first day.
However, the next instant, the Blade Witch's blurry arm suddenly moved.
Playing dead? No way, right? Is it the wind? Chen Qi was startled.
This Blade Witch should just be a sort of projected being, unrelated to the real Blade Witch, right!?
The Blade Witch from five hundred years ago should already be dead.
It shouldn't be... Chen Qi murmured to himself.
After all, within those more than two thousand deaths, he had mocked her while kicking her face with his foot, even calling the Blade Witch illiterate!
Later, because of the Blade Witch's memory function, he was chopped down at the legs fifty times in succession.
Of course, if it hadn't been for that mockery, the Blade Witch might not have faced his Blade Release in the end.
But fortunately, the Blade Witch did not play dead, it was just the wind making a sound, and a prompt popped up!
[Crack settlement continues, congratulations for triggering the Land of Trial's lucky moment with your S rating!]
In front of Chen Qi, five twenty-sided dice appeared once again!
