Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

After explaining all the opponents Lu Qiu might face tomorrow, Wang Hao got up and left.

After closing the door, Lu Qiu sat down at the table and fell into deep thought.

The practical training greatly improved him. He could earn points and continuously exchange them for resources to improve himself. After improving, he could earn more points and continue to exchange them for resources.

He gained more in these five days than he did in all three years of high school combined.

But other students are not stagnant.

The students here are all elites; even the laggards from the third-tier resource city are the most talented in the city.

Compared to top-ranked students, their talent may not be much different; they just started slower, so they are slower at every step.

The practical training provided them with optimized martial arts techniques and dedicated coaches to guide them, resulting in rapid improvement in their skills.

Speaking of the top fifty, according to Wang Hao's observation, each of them exerted more than 1 unit of force to their maximum, enough to briefly unleash power beyond their physical limits.

But Lu Qiu wasn't afraid at all; in fact, he was secretly excited.

As one of only four Little Celestials out of a thousand, and having mastered the bone strength circulation of the White Crane Stance, exerting maximum force has become the norm for him.

As for the first move of Tiger Form Fist, Tiger Roar, his proficiency has long been at its maximum. Now he can easily accumulate ten layers of power, and the force of each strike is 2.

This level of power is more than enough to overwhelm all students ranked 11th to 50th.

The only drawback is that the preparation time for the Tiger Roar Tenfold Stance is too long. Apart from targets like the Stone Armored Pangolin, it is rare to be able to hit the target continuously with the Tiger Roar.

The second move of Tiger Form Fist, Tiger Breath, is a martial art that incorporates breathing techniques. These techniques, in addition to accelerating the improvement of physical strength, can also be used to adjust the rhythm of attacks.

After carefully reading the copy once, Lu Qiu suppressed his amazement.

Details that were previously incomprehensible are now readily understood in my mind, and I have a complete understanding of the power of the second move, "Tiger Breath," which is several times stronger than Tiger Roar!

The reason why Tiger Breath is so powerful is because of a wonderful breathing method that accumulates the recoil force from punching into the chest cavity.

An ordinary person can only use up 100% of their strength when they punch!

A practitioner of Tiger Breath will only use 70% of their strength when throwing a punch.

When the first force is released, the cultivator's body will begin to gather momentum for the next attack, unleashing another attack with 70% of its power!

With a basic grasp, one can throw five consecutive punches within two seconds.

Each time you improve your mastery of Tiger Breath, you can use one more Punch, up to a maximum of ten Punches.

Ten punches in two seconds, each with 70% of its power, combined, result in seven times the force!

In other words, a high school student who has not yet reached the level of a martial artist can, if he can perfect his Tiger Breath technique, make an attack that surpasses the limits of a martial artist within two seconds!

An hour later.

Lu Qiu took off his sweat-soaked combat uniform and sat on the edge of the bed, breathing slightly heavily.

The power of Tiger Breath is much greater than that of Tiger Roar, but the difficulty also increases exponentially. He tried hundreds of consecutive punches but could not find a way to accumulate power in the breath.

He wiped his sweat, stood up again, his gaze resolute.

If a hundred times doesn't work, then try a thousand times, ten thousand times!

Three hours later, Lu Qiu finally grasped a bit of the secret of tiger's breath and was able to throw three punches in two seconds, with the power exceeding that of tiger's roar.

Three more hours passed, and it was four in the morning when the sky outside the window began to lighten.

Lu Qiu was shirtless, sweat dripping from his sharply defined muscles, and a small puddle had formed on the ground.

As he became more skilled, the burden of tiger breath on his body also increased.

He has already activated the active ability of the Flesh Furnace, practicing Tiger Breath at a recovery speed of one hundred times.

"Again!"

He clenched his fist and punched into the void in front of him again.

Thump thump thump thump.

In two seconds, the buzzing of five fists tearing through the air overlapped, and the second move of Tiger Fist, Tiger Breath, was completed!

"Huff... huff..."

Lu Qiu, having successfully mastered the Tiger Breath, relaxed and slumped into a chair, panting heavily. Cultivating the Tiger Breath had placed an immense strain on his body.

He opened the panel.

Name: Lu Qiu

Qi and Blood: 9.62 → 9.63

Muscle: 9.53→9.54

Skeleton: 9.51→9.52

技能：白鹤桩（精通丨486/500）、初级製药（入门丨23/50）、虎形拳（熟练丨1/100）

Status: Minor Unity of Heaven and Man

Talent: Flesh Furnace (C-rank, 2%)

Realm: Secondary Resonator

Personal Space: 5x Grade D Internal Injury Potions, 7x Shadow Pouches, 3x Stone Armor Wheels

Lu Qiu's proficiency level in Tiger Form Fist has changed from "Beginner" to "Proficient," indicating that he has initially mastered Tiger Breath.

His blood and qi, muscles and bones each improved by 0.01, which was something he hadn't expected.

However, Lu Qiu quickly came to terms with it.

The ability to unleash force continuously in a short period of time is more difficult than the static power accumulation of a tiger's roar, and it also puts a greater burden on the body!

Practicing Tiger Form Fist for seven consecutive hours is an impossible task for any student below the level of a martial artist.

But thanks to the incredible regenerative power of the Flesh and Blood Furnace, Lu Qiu not only survived, but also succeeded.

The body's vital energy, muscles, and bones are constantly damaged by excessive force, but they are also restored through the action of the flesh-and-blood furnace.

In this state, the bone-tempering agent works faster, and the beast's flesh and blood are digested more quickly.

Therefore, the three-dimensional mean increased by 0.01.

Lu Qiu wanted to continue practicing Tiger Breath, but he was already slumped in the chair and could barely move.

Moreover, his highly focused mind was exhausted to the limit, and without even taking a shower, he collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

boom! boom! boom!

Lu Qiu, who was asleep, heard a strange noise, turned over and was about to go back to sleep when he heard someone calling his name outside.

"Lu Qiu, Lu Qiu, the ranking battle is about to start, why aren't you up yet!"

It's Wang Hao.

Lu Qiu immediately got up, stretched his still slightly sore body, put on some casual clothes, and opened the door: "I practiced late yesterday, let's go."

"I thought you'd let your guard down," Wang Hao said, pursing his lips. "It's a good thing I called on you, otherwise people wouldn't be able to keep calling you 'robot'."

Lu Qiu shook his head and chuckled: "What does it matter? In the base, strength speaks for itself."

Wang Hao looked Lu Qiu up and down and noticed that his good brother's demeanor seemed to have changed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Lu Qiu asked.

"Go to hell," Wang Hao laughed and cursed, "I just feel like your demeanor has changed a bit, and my gut feeling tells me you're in some danger right now."

Lu Qiu glanced at the smooth, mirror-like wall beside him and noticed that his gaze had indeed changed, revealing a subtle hint of violence and bloodlust.

Just like a real tiger.

However, he didn't take it to heart, because the first ranking battle had begun, and it was Xu Wen's turn.
