Can diligence compensate for lack of talent? But I'm a martial arts genius!

"Let's study this 'Breathing Technique'."

The second day was a rare day off, and Su Changqing couldn't wait to study breathing techniques.

"Breathing techniques, through special and rhythmic breathing, can prolong life and strengthen the body. They require consistent and diligent practice to see results..."

Su Changqing flipped through the book "Breathing Techniques" that he had obtained from Li Heilang, and the more he read, the more surprised he became.

"This breathing technique... it might not even be considered a martial art, but merely a health-preserving exercise, similar to the Eight Pieces of Brocade or the Five Animal Frolics."

A strange look appeared in Su Changqing's eyes. Li Heilang had indeed not lied to him. This breathing technique was not a profound method, but merely a breathing method for health preservation.

"However, this breathing technique does have a certain effect on strengthening internal organs, so let's try it out first."

After pondering for a while, Su Changqing decided to practice it himself.

"Through the regular changes of fine, long, and even breathing, exhaling stale air and inhaling fresh air, the body is nourished, the internal organs are strengthened, and the body circulates throughout the body."

After memorizing the key points of the breathing technique, Su Changqing sat cross-legged and tried breathing exercises.

call!Suck!

Su Changqing sat cross-legged quietly, breathing rhythmically, each breath gradually deepening as he entered a meditative state. His mind became empty and clear, his thoughts sinking into his dantian with each breath.

After a short while, a complete cycle of breathing exercises ended. Su Changqing opened his eyes, feeling refreshed. Lines of information appeared before his eyes, indicating that he had already mastered the basics of breathing techniques!

"This breathing technique... truly has the effect of refining the internal organs! If I cultivate it to a high level, it will surely allow me to achieve the realm of 'refining the internal organs'!"

Su Changqing's eyes were very bright.

The art of breathing exercises is simple in principle, but it is easy to learn but difficult to master. To see results, ordinary people have to spend decades practicing diligently day after day!

"One of the great advantages of breathing techniques is that they can be practiced while walking, sitting, or lying down. In that case, could I integrate these breathing techniques into my Wild Bull Fist, or even make them an instinct, so that I am constantly breathing and practicing breathing techniques?"

Su Changqing was quick-witted, and his mind was filled with flashes of inspiration as he discovered one of the great advantages of this breathing technique.

The key to martial arts lies in quality, not quantity. Practicing multiple martial arts means scattering your energy. But to live is to breathe. If you turn even breathing into a form of cultivation, then you have more time for cultivation!

Of course, this is easier said than done, but Su Changqing believes that with his qualifications and talent, he can definitely turn the impossible into the possible!

[Breath Control Technique Level 1: Beginner Level (14%): Practice daily, mastery within a year]

Su Changqing gradually became proficient in the breathing technique. When he felt dizzy, he stopped practicing the breathing technique. At this moment, the progress of the breathing technique had increased to 14%!

"At this rate, the breathing technique will soon reach a high level, and entering the realm of purification will be just around the corner!"

Su Changqing smiled, quite pleased with his progress.

In addition, Su Changqing would naturally not neglect the practice of the Wild Bull Fist.

"I've mastered the techniques of the Wild Bull Fist to a high level. To take it a step further, I need to develop a deeper understanding of how to use power, and truly bring my 'wild' strength to life!"

Deep in the Woniu Mountain, Su Changqing, having finished gathering firewood, began practicing the Wild Bull Fist. His battle with two martial artists from the Liu family gave him a clearer understanding of his own martial arts. Originally, he practiced strength, but now he wanted to take it a step further!

A bull butts its horns!

Iron Bull Swings its Tail!

A wild bull charges into the city!

Su Changqing unleashed a series of powerful and imposing bull-fisted moves. With each move, he pondered its characteristics and the way he exerted force, refining it to the point where it reached its peak from the very core of its power.

"I tried combining breathing techniques with the breathing methods of the Wild Bull Fist, so that I could practice breathing techniques even when I was sleeping."

As night fell, the exhausted Su Changqing went to bed to rest, but he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he tried to make breathing techniques an instinct!

[Breathing Technique Training Progress +1%!]

Su Changqing combined the breathing methods from the Wild Bull Fist, lying on his side and curling up to maintain deep breathing, like an old bull ruminating in its sleep. From time to time, prompts for progress in his breathing technique would appear before his eyes. Unconsciously, Su Changqing had entered a state of deep sleep, and it seemed that streams of heat were flowing through his body, dispelling the fatigue of his physical body.

Even when Su Changqing tried to learn martial arts, he maintained his practice of breathing techniques!

Su Changqing gradually experienced the benefits of this breathing technique, which made his blood and qi more abundant, accelerated his body's recovery, and even enhanced his endurance!

"At this rate, reaching the Refining Realm is only a matter of time!"

Su Changqing could feel his internal organs getting stronger, his endurance increasing, and the power he could unleash at the limit of his physical body was decreasing, while the burden on his internal organs was also decreasing.

It was another peaceful day. That afternoon, Su Changqing came to the Liu family mansion to deliver firewood. After delivering the firewood to the woodshed, Su Changqing was about to leave.

But suddenly a strange light flashed in Su Changqing's eyes as he saw a young man in brocade robes walking towards him, followed by a group of followers.

"It's Liu Yong, the third young master of the Liu family."

Su Changqing immediately recognized the young man in brocade robes and moved slightly to the side to make way for him.

But Liu Yong didn't leave immediately. His gaze locked onto Su Changqing, and he suddenly said, "I heard from Butler Liu that your name is Su Changqing, right?"

"Yes, lad Su Changqing."

Su Changqing was taken aback, but still nodded in response, wondering why Liu Yong had singled him out. Had the Liu family discovered something? That shouldn't be the case!

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. It's actually a good thing for you. You've done a great job with the Liu family lately, you've been diligent and honest, and your physique looks quite outstanding. Perhaps you have potential. Would you be interested in joining the Liu family's guard team?"

These words caused the remaining servants and attendants of the Liu family present to show expressions of astonishment and envy.

The Liu family's guard team is trained to protect the Liu family's martial arts practitioners!

Joining the guard team means that, in addition to daily duty and patrol, you can eat meat every meal and practice martial arts. It can be said to be a way to change your destiny and stand out from the crowd!

"How did Su Changqing manage to gain the Third Young Master's favor and be allowed to join the guard team?"

The other servants were filled with envy and jealousy.

Su Changqing, however, felt no joy whatsoever. Instead, he felt a chill run down his spine and did not think this was a good thing!

The prerequisite for joining the Liu family's guard team is to be a member of the Liu family. If Su Changqing wants to join this guard team, it means that he has to sign a contract of servitude and become a servant of the Liu family!

For Su Changqing, this was absolutely unacceptable. Once he became a servant of the Liu family, his life and death would be out of his own hands. Even if the Liu family killed him, they could simply pay a fine to the government and have it all wiped clean.

Su Changqing is now a long-term worker for the Liu family. Although he earns very little money, at least he still has basic human rights.

Moreover, Su Changqing knew that the Liu family was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. The Tiger Gang had the Liu family's shadow behind it. If Su Changqing really joined the Liu family's guard team, he would most likely not be able to hide his martial arts cultivation, which would bring trouble instead!

After pondering for a while, Su Changqing scratched his head and said with a look of fear and trepidation, "Third Young Master, my father is a woodcutter and has never been literate. He is also dull-witted. I'm afraid that even if I join the guard team, I won't be able to achieve anything."

Butler Liu, standing to the side, was stunned, never expecting Su Changqing to refuse. He quickly said to Su Changqing, "Changqing, this is a great opportunity. Joining the guard team is something most people would kill for. How dare you refuse?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong's expression immediately darkened. He had noticed that although Su Changqing looked young, his temperament and physique were quite outstanding, which was why he had personally asked him to sell himself into the Liu family. But this damned bastard dared to refuse him in front of so many people.

Given Liu Yong's status, he naturally wouldn't offer any advice. He simply looked at Butler Liu and asked, "What is the term of his contract with the Liu family?"

Butler Liu replied, "Young Master, Su Changqing has signed a long-term labor contract with the Liu family. According to the contract, he is required to work for the Liu family for thirty years. If he wants to terminate the contract early, he will have to pay a penalty of 200 taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Fine, since he has no ambition, let him serve his full thirty years. A peasant is a peasant, an ungrateful wretch!"

After speaking, Liu Yong didn't even glance at Su Changqing again before turning and leaving.

"You little rascal...sigh..."

After Liu Yong left, Butler Liu looked at Su Changqing and sighed deeply, feeling disappointed in him. That was Su Changqing's chance to change his fate, but he had refused it out of tactlessness. He feared that Su Changqing would have little chance to turn his life around in the future.

It should be noted that Su Changqing signed a long-term labor contract with the Liu family. The contract stipulated that Su Changqing would work for the Liu family, and the Liu family would pay him corresponding wages for a period of thirty years. The Liu family had the right to terminate the contract, and if Su Changqing wanted to terminate the contract, he would have to pay the Liu family a penalty of 200 taels of silver!

Now that Su Changqing has offended Liu Yong, the Liu family is unlikely to terminate the contract on their own initiative. He can only be a woodcutter, with no chance of ever getting ahead in his life. How many thirty-year periods does one have in a lifetime? In thirty years, Su Changqing will be middle-aged or old. What chance will he have of turning things around?

"Utterly foolish!"

The other servants looked at Su Changqing with strange eyes, thinking that Su Changqing had something wrong with his brain, had given up a great opportunity to turn his life around, and had even offended the third young master.

Su Changqing remained silent, and naturally, no one knew his thoughts or considerations!

For Su Changqing now, what he needs to do is to quietly and diligently accumulate his strength.

"Thirty years? That won't take that long!"

Su Changqing thought to himself that he was confident that it wouldn't take more than thirty years to get the Liu family to 'voluntarily' terminate the contract!
