81: Sharing the breathing method in the group chat, Han Lie: "Forget it, I don't want to talk about this experience!"
As for reaction speed, Han Lie hadn't tested it yet, but Sun Gan had already anticipated the result: in the Grass Realm, Han Lie's reaction speed was perfect to the extreme.
Having enhanced his Corpse Dog Soul, it was a dimension-shattering advantage at this stage.
Even if Han Lie still hadn't learned any movement techniques, he could avoid most attacks relying solely on his reaction speed and physical prowess.
For Sun Gan, the good news was that he no longer had to worry about Han Lie performing poorly; with such strength, even among the entire freshman cohort, many of whom were top scorers from various regions, Han Lie's inherent strength and comprehension of the Breathing Method should be far ahead.
The bad news was that he was too overpowered; his performance in the freshman assessment would undoubtedly be astonishing, and at that time, leaders, colleagues, and students would surely ask him, the primary person in charge, "Han Lie, what kind of Breathing Method has he truly mastered?"
Heh heh, Sun Gan still hadn't figured out how to answer.
"Hahahahahahahaha..."
"The Great Dao Breathing Method...!!"
"He browses his phone, watches some 'edge' girls, then a few funny skits, then watches travel adventurers record life on other planets, and then he comprehends the rhythm of the Great Dao!"
Sun Gan felt like a madman saying this; his usual public persona was shrewd, cunning, a smiling tiger, opportunistic, and self-serving. How could he say such things? Just uttering those words made him feel like an idiot trying to fool everyone.
But it was the damn truth!!
It! Was! Just! Like! That!!
He could lie to himself, but he shouldn't try to lie to everyone else.
Involuntarily, Sun Gan recalled the vlog of Han Lie's daily life that he was shown during recruitment, and only then did he realize.
".........."
"So, his massages, snacking, and chicken slaughtering are all alternative cultivation methods? No... How can there be such a person in this world!!!"
Sun Gan's mindset crumbled.
Han Lie thought this teacher understood him well, which was why he catered to his preferences so much. In reality, it was not so; Sun Gan was simply using every trick in the book during recruitment to offer so many unreasonable conditions. This was also the first time he realized how bizarre Han Lie's talent was.
However, Han Lie truly chose the right teacher and the right school. This school, which only cared about benefits, wouldn't care how you acquired your strength.
As long as you're strong, then I'll protect you and cultivate you!
...................
As night fell, Han Lie returned to the villa. He simply practiced his Breathing Method for a short while, then scrolled through his phone for a bit, finding it somewhat bland.
The Breathing Method was good, but he couldn't spend most of his day on it. He still missed the time spent on Pile Stance after his body was fatigued.
Fortunately, there wasn't much time left until school started. Once everything settled down, he would message Ning Yu and ask her to come over.
He thought, he'd pick up his phone and check the group chat.
The group chat was constantly buzzing with messages every day, and as soon as he opened it, there was Cui Dazhi, the attention-seeker.
Cui Dazhi: "Brothers, I've arrived at Qing Bei Martial University!! The school specially sent someone to welcome me, and now I'm staying in the school's hotel. Look how big and comfortable this hotel is.jpg"
Han Lie clicked on the photo.
It was just a standard single room, but it looked quite clean.
Han Lie: "Looks good!"
Cui Dazhi: "Hmph, I can't compare to you. Bai He Wan told me two days ago that you're living in a villa spanning over a thousand square meters at school. Damn, you're truly despicable!! Are you going to be a student or an emperor?"
Han Lie: "Hahaha, I arrived at school early and there was no one around, so the teacher gave me this special treatment. Maybe in a couple of days, after the freshman assessment, my villa will be taken by someone else!"
Cui Dazhi: "Damn it, who dares to snatch my brother's villa!! (angry.jpg)"
Li Miao: "Don't say that, Han Lie is currently at the height of his fame; everyone knows his title as the national top scorer. Maybe quite a few people will challenge him!!"
Xin Yao: "Yes, Wang Rui, who once overshadowed me, also went to Shanghai Martial Arts University!"
Cui Dazhi: "Holy crap, Wang Rui went to Shanghai Martial Arts University, holy crap, he's a formidable character!! @Han Lie, he's the one I told you about back then, the one who won first place in the national martial arts competition for all three years of high school!!"
Han Lie: "That awesome?"
Cui Dazhi: "He is... a bit awesome, but brother, I believe in you!! Even if you haven't practiced the Breathing Method, he's definitely no match for you!! Just use that knife strike you used to cleave the Grade 3 fierce beast, he definitely won't be able to block it!!"
"........"
Han Lie understood in his heart that his ability to cleave a Grade 3 fierce beast with one strike at that time actually involved a certain element of luck. If it weren't for the many targeted attributes, plus the item Bai He Wan used that startled the Nine-Fire Cinnabar Gold Phoenix, forcing it to meet his strike, he wouldn't have won so easily.
However, this Wang Rui is very powerful?
Then, if I use the Great Dao Breathing Method, Invincible Posture, and Knife Intent Grandmaster, how will you respond?
Speaking of which, Han Lie hadn't had a chance to experience the effect of the Invincible Posture yet. What exactly was it like, this 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'?
He looked at Bai He Wan, wondering if he should let her hit him a couple of times to test it.
Ugh, never mind.
Han Lie imagined the scene: Bai He Wan would surely be quite surprised to hear this, then after a series of internal struggles, she would gently give him a 'pink fist,' and then be quite annoyed and regretful, asking anxiously, "Does it hurt...?"
"Heh... forget it!"
Han Lie estimated that her two thousand kilograms of strength would probably have no effect on his current body.
No offensive effect whatsoever.
Pure flirtation.
"Let's wait and see!"
While Han Lie was thinking, the group chat had a long discussion, and upon clicking in, he saw it was mainly about sharing experiences with the Breathing Method.
These people shared experiences every day.
It seemed they were truly striving to conquer the heavens.
Cui Dazhi: "Today, the school teacher lent me an eighth-grade Dragon Rock. I only observed it for ten minutes, and my body couldn't handle it, but the gains were far, far greater than what I got from observing an ordinary rock for an hour!! Brothers, if possible!! You must also observe higher-grade items!!"
"There's also this saying?"
Han Lie hadn't actually noticed; it seemed he needed to like, follow, and save higher-quality streamers in the future.
Xin Yao: "That's right, but don't be too fixated on higher-grade visualization objects. Lower-grade visualization references allow for longer visualization times, which helps you improve your proficiency!"
Li Miao: "Also, a senior brother just told me that after everyone visualizes every day, they must not forget to practice Pile Stance!! If your body can keep up, your Essence, Qi, and Spirit will follow, and Pile Stance is our foundation!!"
Hao Ping: "Also......."
Zhao Tianyi: "I've gained some insights from visualizing flowing water recently, I'll share them......."
Li Shang: "Me too...."
Someone offered a good idea, and everyone followed suit, sharing their experiences.
Even Bai He Wan said a lot, then she looked at Han Lie, "Aren't you going to say something?"
"............."
Han Lie thought, what the hell am I supposed to say?
This is the Demonic Dao!!
Only you, little girl, and Cui Dazhi, that idiot, would foolishly listen to me.
He was actually afraid of this.
It was fine if others didn't believe him, but he was afraid someone would firmly believe and try to imitate him. Forget it, it was better not to mislead people.
Han Lie chose to go invisible directly.
This pretense wasn't worth it.
.............
Cui Dazhi: "Everyone's sharing is so good!! Let's pull in a few more people. See who among your acquaintances has learned the Breathing Method, they must be peers!! Preferably from Director Feng, so we can meet offline and exchange insights when we have the chance!!"
As soon as he said this, everyone made an effort.
Before long, seven or eight more people were pulled in. It seemed that quite a few people had learned the Breathing Method at this stage.
Actually, it wasn't so. Birds of a feather flock together. These people in the group were all the top Martial Overlords from various schools, and they only knew other Martial Overlords. These people would naturally find it easier to learn the Breathing Method.
In reality, there were too many people in this world who simply did not possess the comprehension of the Great Dao.
Soon, the newcomers greeted everyone.
What Han Lie didn't notice was that there was an acquaintance among this group, a name called Wildfire Lifeforce. He looked at the avatar.
Good heavens, wasn't it Li Ye, the championship candidate who had been bullied into a trauma by Han Lie!
He also noticed Han Lie and saw that the group was discussing the Breathing Method.
So he casually asked:
"Han Lie, what kind of Breathing Method have you comprehended?"
