139: Cultivation cannot stop

Shen Bei opened the box with joy, taking out the Martial Skill to examine it.

His face couldn't help but fill with disappointment.

Hidden Breath Technique…

Listening to the name, it seemed like a Martial Skill for hiding one's aura, hiding one's rank.

If this were in a cultivation world, it would be somewhat useful.

To pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, you see.

But in this high Martial Artist world, it seemed to be of no use at all.

After all, a Martial Artist, if he doesn't actively attack, usually isn't much different from an ordinary person.

His own rank wouldn't be detectable by others.

Furthermore, even if there were Martial Skills that could identify a Martial Artist's rank, did Shen Bei need to hide his strength?

He didn't need to!

What era was this? pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger was long outdated.

For Shen Bei, if he had strength, he would show it; if someone disagreed, he would fight.

This was the nature of a Martial Artist!

Hiding it away was rather meaningless.

Therefore, Shen Bei was somewhat displeased with this “Hidden Breath Technique” Martial Skill.

“This is just fooling people. Can I apply to exchange it for another Martial Skill?”

Shen Bei grumbled.

However, Shen Bei still opened the Martial Skill book.

He glanced through it roughly.

Shen Bei recalled a famous saying: Don't look at the advertisement, look at the results.

“I misunderstood… this Hidden Breath Technique must be learned.”

Because…

This Martial Skill wasn't aimed at Martial Artists on Earth.

It was aimed at the Dungeons!

According to the Martial Skill book's introduction, once a Martial Artist enters the Dungeons, and enters a combat state, their life magnetic field will be invisibly amplified.

Like a firefly in the night sky, the higher the rank, the more dazzling it is.

In the eyes of Dungeon creatures and Stranger, it was simply a walking light bulb.

This would cause no small amount of trouble during combat.

This was also why people entering the Dungeons had to form teams; once combat began, it was possible to attract nearby Dungeon creatures and Stranger to intercept, making it easier for others to provide support.

Although it wasn't certain that a Martial Artist entering combat state would definitely attract trouble, there was still a probability.

And with the Hidden Breath Technique, one could completely converge one's life magnetic field during combat, focusing on fighting without worrying about attracting other creatures and Stranger.

“Very timely.”

Shen Bei stated that although this Martial Skill didn't increase his external strength, it could be considered a life-saving method.

Shen Bei quickly scanned it. This method wasn't too complex, at least not on the same level as “Seven Stars Fist” and “King Kong Indestructible.”

Its main concept was to rely on meditation and breathing in conjunction, gradually compressing and condensing one's life force to form a special barrier on the body surface, masking one's life magnetic field.

And besides being able to converge and hide the strong life field on a Martial Artist to a certain extent, this method could also serve to precipitate and compress one's own strength, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Shen Bei understood everything about the Hidden Breath Technique and immediately began to try it.

First, he controlled his breathing according to the unique breathing frequency in the notes, then his mind was Void Gazer, and he began to exert himself to restrain his vast True Qi.

This attempt was even more difficult than Shen Bei had imagined.

To converge the life magnetic field within the body, the most important thing was to converge the True Qi within the body.

While True Qi was still like a calm lake, once it moved, it was undoubtedly like a raging Dragon.

It took him over an hour to gradually grasp some of the key points, allowing the True Qi in his body to slowly condense, and at the same time, the vigorous life aura on his body, which was like a furnace, also gradually diminished.

Two or three hours later, the aura on Shen Bei's body had undergone a noticeable change.

If Shen Bei was originally a 100W light bulb when fighting in the Dungeons, he was now an 80W one.

“Hidden Breath Technique… still not proficient enough.”

Shen Bei vaguely sensed the changes within his body, his face showing joy:

“Once I'm completely proficient, even during combat, I won't attract other troubles.”

He stopped practicing the Hidden Breath Technique, and the life field on his body subtly rebounded, but Shen Bei didn't mind, knowing that this was because he hadn't fully mastered this method yet.

However, with his high-level perspective and experience from cultivating Martial Skills like King Kong Indestructible, Shen Bei estimated that he would completely master the Hidden Breath Technique in a few more days at most, and then entering the Dungeons would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.

He temporarily stopped Cultivating.

Shen Bei turned and left the villa dormitory.

He went out to work again.

This Hidden Breath Technique required time for grinding and blending in its Cultivate, belonging to the type where more is not always better.

It was impossible to become fat in one bite.

To Cultivate successfully, it would indeed take a few days.

Therefore, Shen Bei filled his schedule.

Aside from eating and sleeping, he Cultivated and worked, preparing for his official entry into the Dungeons.

His last entry into the Dungeons at Diaobing Mountain was purely out of necessity.

He fought and ran.

He had no impression of what the real Dungeons were like at all…

Upon arriving at the Labor Market, he took a few odd jobs, mostly running errands.

It was meaningless.

The next day.

Shen Bei continued to Cultivate the Hidden Breath Technique in the basement.

He could feel that as his Cultivate progressed, his mastery of converging True Qi and reducing his life magnetic field became increasingly proficient.

After finishing his Cultivate.

Shen Bei originally planned to go out and continue working.

But the pouring rain outside blocked Shen Bei's path.

In this weather… even the Labor Market was empty.

Commonly known as “rain rest.”

Shen Bei leaned against the windowsill, feeling bored.

He watched the endless lines of rain crash into puddles, exploding into splashes.

He had wanted to go to Professor Gu Xinrou for class.

At least he had to learn the Stranger language.

But he only thought about it and didn't act on it.

These past few days, Professor Gu Xinrou had been acting strangely.

She had gone to other classes to be a teaching assistant, trying to replicate a “Shen Bei” among other students.

Principal Zhang also expressed his full support for this.

Upon hearing this news, Shen Bei could only roll his eyes.

What a joke.

Not every student was named “Shen Bei.”

This teacher Professor Gu Xinrou couldn't possibly think that her current achievements were all thanks to her personal guidance, could she?

While there was some truth to it, it wasn't entirely true.

“She’s definitely going to cry…”

Shen Bei breathed on the window, drawing a smiley face.

“Oh, right.”

Shen Bei slapped his thigh: “Now I have time, I can study the Seven Stars Fist!”

Currently, the Seven Stars Fist had developed four Moves: Seven Stars Steps, Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper, Starry Sky Capriccio, and Shooting Star Sweeping Tail.

There were still three Moves yet to be developed.

Shen Bei immediately ran back to the basement.

He pulled out the Seven Stars Fist Martial Skill.

“The fifth Move is called… Three Stars Unite.”

Shen Bei first looked at the general description.

“Three Stars Unite: A fierce fist technique driven by violent True Qi, emphasizing overwhelming destruction, an unstoppable forward momentum, and the use of absolutely wild power and speed to destroy opponents! The deeper the True Qi Cultivate, the greater the power!”

Shen Bei stroked his chin. From the introduction, this was a very violent, wild, and direct fist technique, possessing powerful destructive force.

But it seemed there was nothing particularly outstanding about this Three Stars Unite.

When Shen Bei continued to turn the pages, looking at the next one.

Shen Bei was shocked…

He never expected this Seven Stars Fist to be like a Russian nesting doll!

Under Seven Stars Fist, there was Three Stars Unite.

Under Three Stars Unite, there were still three Moves!

From low to high, they were One Star Three Echoes, Two Stars Falling Light, and Three Stars Qi Moving Chain Punch, all driven by True Qi, with extremely violent power, but at the same time, the method of exerting force was also very brutal.

“A three-in-one skill…”

Shen Bei clicked his tongue and continued reading.

Having a general understanding, to Cultivate “Three Stars Unite,” one must first skillfully master the method of exerting force and circulating Qi for each stance, otherwise, the violent Qi circulation in actual combat would cause no small amount of harm to oneself.

Then.

Shen Bei looked at the Cultivate requirements.

It actually required 50 points of real Agility attribute!

“This is a bit much.”

In Shen Bei's opinion, the Seven Stars Fist was clearly a close-combat Martial Skill.

Martial Artists who followed the close-combat path primarily focused their attributes on Strength and Physique.

Requiring 50 points of real Agility attribute meant that the surface attribute would need to be at least 70 points to be safe.

For a close-combat Martial Artist to reach 70 points in Agility, that would take forever.

“Why does it feel like there's an intentional obstacle here?”

Shen Bei stopped thinking about it.

He immediately turned and left, heading to the testing hall.

He would first test his attributes.

If his Agility attribute wasn't enough, he would temporarily put aside the Cultivate.

Forcing oneself to Cultivate could cripple a Martial Artist, and this was no laughing matter.

It was better to have a clear understanding.

Holding an umbrella.

He quickly arrived at the testing hall.

Half an hour later.

Shen Bei received his attribute test report.
