The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Although the strength of the opponents on stage is increasing.

But Ye Xiao's strength is also increasing.

Even Cai Shi, who was in charge of acting as referee for Ye Xiao, was involved.

He could clearly sense it.

Ye Xiao is very different from how he was four hours ago.

He thought to himself.

"This guy, he can actually keep training and getting stronger during battle?"

"He was born to fight!"

"I'm suddenly very curious, how long can he hold on before he loses?"

.......

When Ye Xiao began to face opponents at the fourth realm.

The opponent's fighting level has significantly improved!

If we say...

Facing opponents from the lower three realms.

Ye Xiao only needs to use less than 10% of his power.

So.

Facing an opponent from the fourth realm.

He would then be forced to use 30% of his strength.

That's right!

That's only 30% of the power!

Ye Xiao expended some effort, but still managed to defeat his first opponent from the fourth realm in about a minute.

[Victory's Momentum] is triggered, helping him immediately recover some status points.

However, there was no way to restore Ye Xiao to full strength.

[120 Victories! Combat Achievement Completed! Reward: [Victorious Might V]: After each victory, immediately restore 9% of your full health.]

[Two hundred victories! Combat achievement achieved! Reward: [Victory's Might VI]: After each victory, you will immediately recover 10% of your full health.]

The current [Winner's Momentum] is at level 6. After a victory, it can restore 10% of his full stats.

Under normal circumstances.

Ye Xiao defeated his opponent in the fourth realm using only 30% of his power.

This is a case of "dimensional reduction attack".

But Ye Xiao's current situation is amidst a chaotic car battle.

He will then face a constant stream of challenges from students of the Fourth Realm.

How to control the consumption of energy.

This became a problem that Ye Xiao needed to consider.

But fortunately.

He possesses a passive ability called "skillful force," which helps him conserve energy.

【Skillful Strike (Passive) (Max Tier): When you punch, the energy required is reduced! (25%)】

........

The battle continues.

After Ye Xiao achieved a 260-game winning streak.

He was already showing signs of fatigue.

At this time.

Cai Shi had already noticed.

Ye Xiao was starting to get tired.

He thought to himself, "They really think you're made of iron and never get tired."

"So you can get tired after all."

Just then.

Ye Xiao was waiting for the next challenger to come on stage after defeating an opponent at the fourth realm.

Cai Shi suddenly spoke to Ye Xiao.

"Ye Xiao, your punches are powerful, but your breathing is disordered."

These words were spoken.

This immediately caught Ye Xiao's attention.

His homeroom teacher in the gifted class pointed out Ye Xiao's current shortcomings in just one sentence.

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"Every time you throw a punch, you hold your breath first and then exhale after you finish." Cai Shi gestured. "While the punches are powerful, they don't last long. Your stamina comes from your body's sheer physical endurance, not from the circulation of your breath."

"A true martial artist's fist and qi are in harmony, and their qi and intention are in harmony!"

After Ye Xiao finished listening to Cai Shi's words...

Suddenly, he felt his mind become much clearer.

This moment.

He finally understood why Cai Shi was able to become the homeroom teacher of the top-tier genius class.

Cai Shi made Ye Xiao assume a horse stance and placed his hands on Ye Xiao's abdomen.

"Take a deep breath, not with your lungs, but with your diaphragm!"

Ye Xiao took a deep breath, his chest heaving.

"That's not right." Cai Shi shook his head. "Your breath only reaches your chest, it hasn't sunk down. Try again."

Ye Xiao took another breath.

This time, he tried to push the air down.

Ye Xiao felt his abdomen bulge slightly.

"Yes, that's it!"

"Inhale—let the breath sink to your dantian!"

"Hoo—let the energy surge from your dantian to your fist!"

He made Ye Xiao punch the air.

Coordinate each punch with an exhale.

"Exhale when you punch, inhale when you pull your fist back."

"Don't let it break!"

Ye Xiao threw more than a dozen punches, but still felt awkward.

He was used to holding his breath to exert force, and with each breath, his fist seemed lighter.

"Does it feel too light?" Cai Shi asked with a smile, having immediately discerned Ye Xiao's thoughts and the position he was uncomfortable with.

Ye Xiao nodded.

Cai Shi said, "That's because you used to use brute force, but now you're using internal strength. Brute force has a powerful burst, but it lacks staying power. Internal strength may seem light, but it's continuous and uninterrupted."

"You're fighting a war of attrition right now. If you rely solely on brute force to unleash your power, you won't last long against a higher-level opponent."

"Let me ask you this: do you want to be a man with explosive power for five seconds, or a man who perseveres relentlessly and without ceasing?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's face showed a strange expression.

"Teacher Cai, I suspect you're making a sexual innuendo, but I have no proof."

Cai Shi let Ye Xiao continue hitting him, and he landed over a hundred punches.

The students queuing behind him even got impatient.

"Hey! What's going on here?!"

"Wasn't it supposed to be a challenge?"

"Why are you practicing boxing on stage?!"

"What are you doing?"

"Is this a last-minute cramming session?"

"......"

Faced with these students' urging...

Cai Shi replied directly, "Shut up!"

These words were spoken.

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire area.

It was so oppressive that everyone could hardly breathe.

Even the members of the Heavenly Pride Society, the Demon Hunter Society, and the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion were shocked and felt a chill run down their spines.

All the students were stunned and dared not utter another word.

After the stadium quieted down.

Everyone was watching Cai Shi instruct Ye Xiao on breathing techniques, which were then coordinated with his punches.

One punch!

One punch!

Punch

......

Ye Xiao gradually found his rhythm.

Inhale as you retract your fist, exhale as you punch out; let your breath flow like a thread, connecting each punch together.

After delivering a hundred punches, his breathing was surprisingly steady, unlike before when he was panting heavily.

"What kind of technique is this?" Ye Xiao asked in surprise.

"It's not a martial arts technique, it's a breathing method," Cai Shi said. "It's not anything profound, but martial artists can use it. It allows you to recover stamina during combat and reduce unnecessary energy expenditure. You're good at taking a lot of damage, right? With this, you can take even longer."

Ye Xiao looked at Cai Shi with great gratitude, after all, the other party had taught him the breathing technique for free.

It brought Ye Xiao a significant boost.

"What's the name of this breathing technique?"

"I named it the 'Turtle Breathing Method'! The implication is that, like a turtle, one can live forever with a single breath!"

These words were spoken.

Ye Xiao's lips twitched, and the gratitude he had just felt vanished instantly.

He couldn't help but complain, "Couldn't they have chosen a nicer name?"

Cai Shi laughed heartily: "As long as it works, the name doesn't matter!"

Then, Ye Xiao threw dozens more punches, feeling the energy flowing through his body.

It definitely feels different now.

I used to start panting after fifty punches, but now I can throw over a hundred punches and still have air in my lungs.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully learned the breathing technique: Turtle Breathing Technique!]

At that moment, Ye Xiao heard a system notification.

The moment it started playing.

He was dumbfounded.

This thing is actually called the Turtle Breathing Technique!

He thought Cai Shi was joking.

Ye Xiao had no choice but to open the system panel to check.

[Turtle Breathing Method]

[Standard Passive: Increases the recovery speed of [Spirit], [Energy], and [Mental Energy] by 30%!]

[Active Activation: Reduces the consumption of [Spirit], [Energy], and [Mental Energy] by 15% during combat!]

[Upgradeable: Consumes martial arts experience.]
