I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

He was in a sorry state, but he finished it.

"Jing-ge, you're awesome."

Pei Youguang was truly impressed and gave him a thumbs up.

Only someone who has practiced it knows how difficult it is to practice breathing techniques, but Xue Jing actually did it on his first try.

Perhaps this is what the old master craftsman meant by "good natural talent"!

Pei Youguang was filled with envy.

"Once you get used to the breathing method, practice it often, and even make it your instinct and use it all the time, you can continuously improve your physical fitness. However, I haven't achieved that yet. Currently, I can't do too many breathing exercises every day, otherwise my body can't handle it."

"Once you get used to it, you will gradually feel the rhythm inside your body when you breathe. When you learn how to use your breathing to influence or even control these rhythms, your strength will naturally develop."

Pei Youguang said.

Xue Jing closed his eyes, trying to calm the various burdens that arose after practicing the breathing technique for the first time.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said, "Teach me again."

Pei Youguang said worriedly, "You've only just started learning breathing techniques. You should practice once today and continue tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."

Xue Jing shook his head: "It's alright, continue."

He had memorized most of the steps of the breathing technique, but he needed to do it again to solidify his memory and ensure that he would not make any mistakes.

Chapter 18 Life Money

After practicing the breathing method again with Pei Youguang, Xue Jing thoroughly memorized all the detailed steps of the breathing method.

This time, after completing the breathing exercise, the symptoms were the same as the first time—very uncomfortable—but better than the first time; it seemed like I had adapted a bit.

Pei Youguang, feeling a bit unwell after practicing the breathing technique twice in a row, touched his head and exclaimed in surprise:

"Not only did I successfully complete the cycle on my first attempt at the breathing technique, but I also did it twice in a row..."

"If the old master at the dojo knew this, he would probably be shocked."

Xue Jing slowly calmed the burden of the breathing technique and said, "Youguang, thank you this time."

Pei Youguang was flattered and quickly said, "Hey! Don't mention it. Brother Jing, it's an honor for me to be willing to let you teach me..."

Although his statement had a hint of flattery in it, he genuinely felt that way.

With Xue Jing's talent and potential, it's obvious he has a bright future. He feels he's benefiting from being able to claim some 'favor' from Xue Jing while he's still in his infancy.

This basic breathing technique is worthless, but being able to use it to establish a connection with a promising person is a huge win.

Pei Youguang sighed, "It's a pity I don't have the dojo's secret medicine here. Breathing techniques need to be practiced with the secret medicine to achieve the best effect. I remember the old master called this process 'blood cleansing'..."

"He once said that blood is the fundamental source of power for the body. The cleaner and better the blood, the stronger the power it provides. Every dojo or sect has its own 'blood cleansing secret method.' If you join a dojo in the future, Brother Jing, you might be able to come into contact with it."

While listening to him speak, Xue Jing opened the panel and glanced at it.

[You have completed one breathing exercise, Fitness Experience Points +16]

[You have completed one breathing exercise, Fitness Experience Points +16]

[Fitness Lv2 (463/500)]

After practicing the breathing technique twice, my fitness experience increased by more than 30 points!

Pei Youguang said that breathing techniques can improve physical fitness, and he never expected the effect to be so good.

“It takes about fifteen minutes to complete one cycle of the breathing technique, so an hour would be more than sixty minutes.”

If you go to the gym specifically, you can gain about 100 fitness experience points per hour.

Breathing techniques may seem less efficient than dedicated fitness training, but that's not the whole story.

Fitness requires specialized equipment and a dedicated environment, but breathing techniques can be done anytime, anywhere!

If he can keep the breathing technique running 24 hours a day, he can gain more than 1,400 fitness experience points in a day!

What an outrageous increase!

Of course, that's not possible right now. The breathing technique puts a heavy burden on the body. After completing two full cycles, he already felt that he couldn't continue for the time being, otherwise he would really hurt himself.

However, in any case, Xue Jing was very satisfied with having another way to increase his fitness experience anytime, anywhere.

About twenty minutes later, Xue Jing felt that he had fully recovered.

He stood up, looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he looked at a machine in the corner.

Pei Youguang noticed his gaze and smiled, "That's a force measuring machine, Jing-ge, would you like to try it?"

Xue Jing nodded.

Pei Youguang: "Okay, I'll go open it for you."

He ran to the back of the force measuring machine, pressed a button, and the screen on the machine's stand lit up, displaying the results of the last test.

【1472N】.

"The data unit of this machine is N, which is 'Newton'."

Pei Youguang explained.

"1472 Newtons, which is roughly equivalent to 150 kilograms in KG, which is easier to understand."

Pei Youguang said with a hint of pride, "These are the numbers I got the day before yesterday when I used all my strength. Pretty impressive, huh?"

Xue Jing smiled and said, "Yeah, pretty impressive."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try."

Upon seeing this, Pei Youguang immediately gave up his seat.

Xue Jing stepped forward, assumed a fighting stance, took a deep breath, and aimed a punch at the slightly worn leather pad on the force measuring machine!

"boom!!"

With a loud bang, the entire heavy force measuring machine shook slightly, and the numbers on the screen on the support began to jump continuously before stopping.

【1773N】.

Pei Youguang's eyes widened slightly.

"What the hell!?"

1773 Newtons, which translates to approximately 181 kilograms.

"Jing-ge, you didn't actually train and just came here to lie to me, did you?"

Pei Youguang clicked his tongue in amazement.

"No effort was used, just pure brute force, yet he delivered 1773 Newtons, which is already over 180 kilograms! That's outrageous!"

He touched his bandaged nose. "No wonder they almost knocked my nose off at noon..."

Xue Jing laughed heartily: "How was it? Not bad, right?"

Pei Youguang nodded repeatedly: "That's great, brother. If you learn how to channel your energy, you can immediately take the professional martial arts exam to get your rank."

Xue Jing didn't reply, but instead looked at a machine with many buttons next to him and asked curiously, "What's that?"

Pei Youguang laughed and said, "That's for practicing reflexes. See all the buttons on it? It's like playing whack-a-mole. Press whichever button lights up as quickly as possible..."

……

Xue Jing stayed at Pei Youguang's house until nearly 8 p.m., and after agreeing to come over often during this period, he took his leave.

Before leaving, Pei Youguang asked if he could be exempted from the self-criticism recitation the next morning, but Xue Jing refused.

The main reason Xue Jing made him read before was to teach this school bully a lesson, but now he's making him read because Xue Jing genuinely cares about him.

Carrying a reputation as a murderous thug is no joke.

Pei Youguang was too young to understand the consequences, or rather, he vaguely understood the consequences but was somewhat resigned for some reason. Xue Jing, however, was unwilling for him to ruin himself.

Although he has made many mistakes in the past, as long as he has not made any absolute errors of principle, he still has a chance to correct them.

Xue Jing walked down the street. Although it was only eight o'clock in the evening, the street, which belonged to the South District, was very quiet, with only a few shops still lit up.

The evening breeze blew, making bottles, cans, newspapers, and plastic bags on the street sway and create an echo in the quiet street.

Xue Jing, with his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, walked naturally toward the nearest bus stop.

Behind him, in a small alley a few dozen meters away, several people were hiding, staring at his back with ill intent.

One of the men, who had a tuft of white hair in his hair, chuckled and said, "It's rare to run into a fat sheep so late at night. Judging from his school uniform, he's from Qingda Affiliated High School?"

Standing in the middle of the group, a middle-aged man with a long scar on his right cheek took a deep drag of the cigarette he was smoking and slowly exhaled. He was wearing a sleeveless black t-shirt, and a dragon was tattooed across his shoulder on his muscular right arm.

"It wouldn't be right for them to be wandering around our Razor Gang's territory so late at night without leaving anything behind."

"If you can afford the tuition for the affiliated high school, you can probably afford to save your life, right?"

Chapter 19 Night Attack

dark night.

Xue Jing walked on the streets outside the South District.

The narrow and poorly planned neighborhood had all the buildings crammed together in a mess. These houses were generally old, and some could not even be called houses, but were just shacks made of a few pieces of sheet metal and wooden planks.

The building materials used in these houses were obviously substandard, and they had been lacking in basic maintenance for a long time, with some parts already in a dilapidated state.

The ground was littered with canned food scraps, the uneven cement floor was covered in puddles, and several stray dogs stared at Xue Jing, seemingly waiting for something.

"..."

Xue Jing stopped in his tracks.
