73: Warmth, treat
Second floor of the villa.
Li Ziyu sat on the sofa and took out a glass of ice wine from the refrigerator.
The amber liquid flowed into the crystal clear glass.
Li Ziyu tilted his head and drank it all in one gulp.
“Sitting on the sofa in the villa in summer, drinking a glass of aged ice wine, how wonderful.”
“This isn't a student dorm; it's practically a presidential suite.”
Li Ziyu sighed, put down his glass, and began to sort out today's events and his upcoming goals.
First, the Natural Breathing Technique—Flame Breathing.
The strike he made against Yang Ming today was his first use of Flame Breathing after mastering it.
Its power exceeded his imagination.
Under Flame Breathing, his overall strength and explosive power increased by at least twofold.
Moreover, the Flame Breathing Technique could also enchant weapons with fire.
Both normal attacks and Battle Skill attacks could be enchanted.
This was equivalent to directly giving himself the power of a fire element martial artist!
“Judging by the flames during the attack, the attack effect of the Flame Breathing Technique is exactly the same as the flames of a fire element martial artist!”
“It's even stronger than the flames of a fire element martial artist!”
“The level of the Natural Breathing Technique is definitely higher than I imagined!”
Li Ziyu had never thought about it before, but the more he thought about it now, the more shocked he felt.
Information on the Natural Breathing Technique couldn't even be found in Modu Martial Arts University's Battle Skill library, and considering the four elemental powers...
The level of this Natural Breathing Technique definitely exceeded his imagination!
“It seems the priority of asking Wang Patrol about the origin of the Natural Breathing Technique needs to be moved up,” Li Ziyu thought to himself.
After reviewing the Flame Breathing Technique, Li Ziyu then thought of Ouyang Hao, the Vice President of the Mutual Aid Society, whom he had rejected this morning.
Today's events were likely arranged by Ouyang Hao.
Yang Ming was Ouyang Hao's subordinate.
Since his subordinate was taught a lesson, Ouyang Hao would definitely come to get revenge.
“This never-ending cycle,” Li Ziyu's eyes flickered.
He didn't mind challenges, or even sparring with some strong opponents to hone his practical combat ability.
But they had to be valuable opponents; if they were all like Yang Ming in strength, it wouldn't serve to hone his skills at all.
It would be faster to just consume Qi Blood Pills himself or go to the Wilderness Area to farm new players.
“I heard that Modu Martial Arts University encourages sparring among students.”
“It's too annoying to have only small fry coming over; I'll just go find Ouyang Hao directly.”
“If I beat Ouyang Hao up in front of all the teachers and students, I guess no one will bother me at Modu Martial Arts University anymore.”
Li Ziyu's eyes flickered; the more he thought about it, the more feasible this idea seemed.
“But none of these are the most crucial things right now.”
“The most crucial thing right now is to break through to the Second-Level Martial Artist realm!”
“Hmm… also, the Crystal Breathing Technique, Great Sun Body Tempering Method, and Ninefold Thunder Blade, these cultivation methods also need to be mastered.”
“Sigh, I don't know how many Qi Blood Pills it will take to upgrade.”
“Anyway, the ten Qi Blood Pills I have left are definitely not enough to get started.”
“It seems after dinner, I'll have to make a trip to Modu Martial Arts University's supply depot.”
Li Ziyu sighed leisurely, feeling a bit poor for the first time.
It seemed that relying on pills for improvement could only be supplementary; when he had free time, he still had to go to the Wilderness Area.
As Li Ziyu was thinking, the voice of the chubby Sun Qiming from downstairs rang out.
Li Ziyu picked up his wristband and checked; it was already dinner time.
Just then, his phone rang.
Li Ziyu took it out and glanced at it; it was Xia Lin.
...
“Student Li Ziyu, are you alright?”
“I was worried about you, so I specially came from Lanpu Martial Arts University.”
Dusk, with the sunset glow high in the sky.
In the Modu University campus, filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, Li Ziyu and Xia Lin walked side by side.
Behind them, Sun Qiming and Wang Xiaoya followed, intentionally keeping their distance from the two.
“I'm fine, it was just a normal spar,” Li Ziyu said with a smile to Xia Lin.
Xia Lin then patted her ample chest and let out a long sigh:
“It's good that you're okay, you really scared me.”
Xia Lin said.
She reached into her bag and took out a small jar from it.
She handed it to Li Ziyu, who looked curious:
“This is?”
Xia Lin smiled and said:
“I saw you seemed to need Qi Blood Pills for cultivation on the high-speed rail, so I had my family send some over. There are thirty Qi Blood Pills in here.”
“You saved my life on the high-speed rail, and these thirty Qi Blood Pills are a small token of my appreciation.”
As if afraid Li Ziyu would refuse.
Xia Lin then put on a pitiful expression, her eyes seeming to mist over slightly, and quickly continued:
“Please, you must accept them, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night!”
“Hmm… thank you!”
“Come on, I'll treat you to dinner at the Modu University cafeteria!”
Li Ziyu hesitated for a moment; his need for Qi Blood Pills was indeed very great right now.
So he no longer acted coy and reached out to take it from Xia Lin's hand.
It still carried a faint fragrance.
Seeing Li Ziyu accept her gift, Xia Lin's previously anxious face immediately bloomed into a smile, like spring flowers in March.
She had hesitated for a long time at the entrance of Modu University earlier, wondering whether to come and find Li Ziyu.
After all, they were only classmates now, and she was afraid Li Ziyu would find her annoying if she came uninvited.
But now, that worry vanished as Li Ziyu accepted her gift:
“Alright!”
“Then I'll have a good meal later!”
...
Spacious and bright cafeteria.
It was dinner time, and many students were already eating.
In the semi-open kitchen, busy chefs could be seen through the transparent glass.
The hall had rows of separated tables and chairs.
After Li Ziyu and the others found a place to sit.
A cafeteria server, dressed in a shirt and bow tie, came over and enthusiastically presented the menu with both hands.
The bright and spacious environment, combined with the quietly waiting server nearby, made Li Ziyu feel like he wasn't eating in a school cafeteria, but rather in a high-end restaurant.
This was completely different from his imagined scene of queuing for food.
“Wow, the environment at Modu Martial Arts University is too good!”
“Not only is the campus large, but the dorms are villas, and even the dining area is so luxurious!”
“Compared to Modu Martial Arts University, our Lanpu Martial Arts University is simply not in the same league.”
The group sat opposite each other.
Wang Xiaoya looked around curiously, constantly expressing her admiration.
Xia Lin, beside her, also looked envious.
It was a pity that her Martial Exam score wasn't high enough to get into Modu Martial Arts University.
Otherwise, she could have been in the same school as Student Li Ziyu.
“Hehe, that's right!”
“Modu Martial Arts University is the fourth-ranked prestigious university in the country; its basic facilities are definitely far superior to other schools.”
Sun Qiming, sitting next to Li Ziyu, chuckled proudly as he looked at the envious Wang Xiaoya.
Then he waved his hand grandly:
“Eat whatever you want; since we just met today, I'll pay for Yu-ge!”
Sun Qiming chuckled.
When he was with Li Ziyu, his presence wasn't very strong.
With a beautiful girl present today, he had to be extravagant.
As Sun Qiming finished speaking, the server waiting nearby smiled and handed the menu to Sun Qiming.
“Student, today is just the new student orientation, and our cafeteria has launched a four-person luxury set meal. You can take a look.”
“Hmm, good, it's the first day today, so we should have a luxurious meal.”
Sun Qiming took the menu and opened it with a composed demeanor.
When he saw the prices marked on the menu, his eyes widened directly:
“What the hell!?”
“So expensive!?”
“A four-person luxury set meal costs ten points!?”
