92: Breathing method course, what are you all looking at me for?

The large classroom was filled with students, and soon after, a teacher arrived punctually. He seemed unremarkable, yet no one dared to underestimate him.

Basically, the most elite connections a person could make in their lifetime were their university teachers.

Everyone present who understood knew that those who could teach at top Martial Arts Universities were essentially frequent visitors to various secret realms, and they all had other identities outside.

"Hello, everyone!"

The short teacher with a crew cut smiled and waved, then put down his thermos. "I'm the teacher responsible for instructing you on Breathing Methods. My surname is Zhang. I'll start with a simple survey. How many of you have already begun cultivating a Breathing Method? Please raise your hands so I can see!"

"—Swish, swish, swish!"

Everyone cooperated, and in an instant, countless hands shot up across the classroom.

"More than half, huh!"

Teacher Zhang nodded slightly. "It seems the quality of students this year is very high. Alright then, I'll briefly explain Breathing Methods. Students who already understand can take a quick nap or go back to sleep. For those who don't fully grasp it, you'll need to pay close attention! Don't let yourselves fall behind your peers right at the start of Martial Arts University!"

"This teacher is quite interesting!" Bai He Wan said softly.

Han Lie nodded slightly. Perhaps it was due to it being the first university class, or perhaps Teacher Zhang's words had caught his attention, but he also listened attentively for a while.

The result was...

—He might as well have actually taken a nap.

It wasn't that Teacher Zhang's teaching level was ordinary; in fact, his teaching level was quite high. He explained things in a simple yet profound way, allowing students to understand Breathing Methods in just a few sentences. He particularly emphasized: "To quickly learn a Breathing Method, it's best to start by observing something you're most skilled at. You don't need to study or visualize its breathing rhythm first; just try to observe one thing for half an hour without getting bored."

If someone had taught Han Lie this way back then, he wouldn't have taken a two-day detour.

But then again,

If he had such a renowned teacher back then, he probably wouldn't have learned the Great Dao Breathing Method. He might have found another legitimate path. Looking back now, if he had observed a broadsword back then, would he have entered the Way of the Blade?

After listening for a while, Han Lie only paid half attention.

Because Teacher Zhang's teaching was entirely geared towards the average level of all students. For Han Lie, this knowledge was already outdated.

The top talents beside him were the same. They had more or less heard this theoretical knowledge before, and listening again felt like their ears were calloused.

Many students, however, listened with great interest. They had never received such theoretical knowledge, and there was even a small minority who had spent their holidays playing wildly and had no idea what a Breathing Method was.

Therefore, even though all 1500 new students had been admitted to Shanghai Martial Arts University, they were still divided into several tiers.

"I'll just scroll through my phone!"

Han Lie was bored,

so he put on one earbud and started scrolling through short videos.

This immediately caught everyone's attention.

"What is Han Lie doing?"

Their eyes widened like copper bells, eager to catch every detail of Han Lie, but after a long moment, those around him realized.

Han Lie was truly just playing on his phone.

And he was scrolling through rather uninteresting short videos. Well, perhaps not entirely uninteresting, but for these top talents, spending every day watching suggestive videos was a waste of time, quite sinful, and very meaningless.

"........."

These top Martial Overlords,

seeing Han Lie like this,

really didn't want to comment.

After realizing Han Lie was merely scrolling through his phone, they began to focus inwards, trying their best to adjust their emotions.

Because Teacher Zhang had just said,

that in the latter half of the class, he would teach everyone to experience a Breathing Method, at which point these students would have a tangible experience.

Then they would know,

what Breathing Method Han Lie was cultivating.

Time passed,

and soon half the class was over. Students took a short break. Many felt they had benefited greatly, while a portion felt they had wasted their time.

As soon as the second half of the class began.

Teacher Zhang casually asked:

"Has any student reached Second-Order yet?"

After speaking, he merely glanced around casually.

Then he prepared for the next topic, "If not..."

"Teacher!!"

Bai He Wan raised her hand high. "Teacher, Han Lie is a Second Order Martial Warrior!! What's wrong?"

..."Ah, there's a Second Order Martial Warrior!"

Teacher Zhang quickly looked up upon hearing the sound, and the words he was about to say got stuck halfway. Asking if there were any Second Order Martial Warriors was something he did every year, but in all his years of teaching, he had never seen anyone who was a Second Order Martial Warrior at the start of the school year. This was a first.

"No, it's nothing!"

Teacher Zhang assessed Han Lie. "I was just asking as per routine. If you've reached Second Order Martial Warrior, it means your understanding of Breathing Methods is already quite deep. You don't need to listen to the rest of the class. As for the other students, you need to pay close attention!"

This immediately divided the students into two groups again, only this time, the group of students who didn't need to listen to the lecture consisted of only Han Lie.

"He really is Second-Order!!"

The other top talents were not angry about this.

Only surprised!!

They had suspected that the reason Han Lie was so strong was likely because his martial arts realm was a step higher than theirs, and they hadn't expected it to be true!!

"Too fast!!"

Wang Rui was greatly alarmed. He had broken through to a Martial Artist even before entering the Martial Exam testing grounds and had mastered a Breathing Method that very night. It had been nearly two months since then, yet he was still far from reaching the upper limit of a First-Order Martial Artist, with no end in sight for his breakthrough.

"I didn't expect Han Lie's advancement speed to be so fast!!"

"What Breathing Method is he cultivating, and why is it more intense and faster in tempering the body than my Lightning Breathing Method?!"

He was extremely curious.

A small portion of his attention was on the stage, while the vast majority of his attention was on Han Lie, but unfortunately, the latter kept scrolling through his phone, revealing no clues whatsoever.

Immediately after,

Teacher Zhang began teaching the advanced mastery of Breathing Methods, which involved utilizing Breathing Methods in actual combat, and also shared a lot of related experience to prevent students from taking unnecessary detours during visualization or combat.

Another half hour passed,

until he finally said:

"I've talked a bit much today. Alright, there are only ten minutes left. Everyone, take out your visualization objects. In this last class today, I will teach you how to quickly enter a visualization state and utilize fragmented time as much as possible to temper your bodies!!"

Upon hearing this, the students became excited.

In traditional understanding,

only visualizing until exhaustion could temper the body, but Teacher Zhang's words implied that even ten minutes could be highly effective.

And then recalling what he said:

"What I teach you is not just for use in class or in your daily lives. It's something you can truly apply on the battlefield if you enter a secret realm and are fortunate enough to go to the Myriad Worlds Battlefield!!"

The students thought about it,

on the battlefield,

perhaps such a Breathing Method visualization technique, one that could achieve results in just 10 minutes of meditation, was indeed necessary!!

The ordinary students were extremely excited!!

And the top talents, besides this layer of excitement, also gained an additional layer of curiosity about Han Lie!!

"Come, take out your visualization objects!"

Teacher Zhang said from the front.

The students below all took out the items they had prepared. As each item was brought out, just looking at them suggested they were quite expensive.

For top students like Wang Rui, their visualization objects were mostly lightning, great mountains, and great rivers. None of them were ordinary items, nor were they things that could be brought into the classroom for visualization. It seemed inconvenient to visualize them normally.

So they all had corresponding substitutes. For rare treasures like Cui Dazhi's, many people took out similar items. The items were small, but the 'Dao' or even the grade contained within them was higher.

As for Wang Rui, he took out a painting.

It depicted a vast and boundless sky,

overcast with dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning splitting the sky.

"What a magnificent lightning and dark cloud painting!"

Han Lie was no longer the ignorant little fool he once was. He knew that this was a depiction by a top-tier powerful individual, who had reached the pinnacle in a certain skill, of the myriad things in the world. He imagined this was a top Martial Artist skilled in painting, who had replicated a rare scene from the world, and it also contained the Dao of lightning from that time.

This item was probably not cheap.

Poor scholars, rich martial artists,

it was still being consistently upheld.

Most of these top talents currently had extremely superior family backgrounds, with only a small minority possibly being commoner martial artists who, after being admitted to top universities, received cultivation from various forces.

The items they took out,

were enough to buy someone's life.

And at this moment,

after they were ready, they all looked at Han Lie expectantly, as if asking, "Where's yours?"

"Come, follow me!"

On the stage,

Teacher Zhang began to teach by example. His movements resembled the 'five hearts facing upwards' posture, possessing an indescribable charm.

At the same time,

his attention was also on Han Lie, as he was the only Second Order Martial Warrior in the class, and also the only new student who truly had the potential to quickly learn the method of entering meditation and visualization.

Thus,

under everyone's gaze.

Han Lie opened his phone.

He was no longer scrolling through his phone out of boredom; it was clear he had heard the teacher's words and was scrolling through his phone quite seriously.

It gave people a comical and astonished feeling that his phone *was* his visualization object.

Because the classroom was too quiet, and all the students were Martial Artists with astonishing hearing.

They then heard from Han Lie's Bluetooth headphones—

"Let's go, Guso Guso"

"Guso Yiso Uso"

"Menduo Menduo"

"Menlin Menda Menduo"

......................

"............Ugh,"

When people are utterly speechless, they really do feel like laughing.
