Chapter 87: The Missing Breathing Technique (Six Updates! Subscription and Monthly Votes Requested!)

"Is this a sword technique that can hone a person into a dragon?"

At this moment, Lige was shocked.

He had never expected that the special-grade sword technique he found here would be such an incredible sword technique.

Hone a person into a dragon?

What does that mean?

Lige's first reaction was disbelief, followed by a growing sense of excitement.

The main reason was that the requirements for practicing this sword technique matched Lige. It required someone with a naturally vast amount of magic power, and ordinary people could not successfully practice it.

"Could it be that Yuli specifically chose this sword technique for me?"

Lige couldn't help but think this.

He could ask about it later.

At the moment, Lige was already eager to see this sword technique and learn it.

As for the warning in the notes about the extremely high difficulty of practice, Lige ignored it.

With the skill "Fool's Persistence," both his growth rate and growth limit were significantly increased. If even he couldn't master this sword technique, it was unlikely that anyone else could.

With this thought, Lige began to read the "Sacred Dragon Sword Technique."

However, as he read, his brows began to furrow, and his interest gradually faded.

There was no way around it.

"This sword technique is missing the most crucial breathing technique?"

Yes, this sword technique had a missing part.

A sword technique is mainly composed of two parts.

One is the sword technique itself.

The other is the breathing method.

All sword techniques in the world are practiced by learning the techniques themselves while using special breathing methods to stimulate magic power, making it active, and activating the body to gradually absorb the active magic power, enhancing strength, and refining it bit by bit.

In other words, the breathing method in sword techniques is the key to making practitioners extraordinary.

Without a breathing method, any sword technique is just a regular sword art, a set of techniques. Practicing it might strengthen the body, but it lacks the effect of stimulating magic power and refining the body.

Naturally, without a breathing method, even a special-grade sword technique cannot develop special abilities, and even the astonishing growth efficiency is lost.

The "Sacred Dragon Sword Technique" in Lige's hands was missing the crucial breathing method, leaving only the sword techniques.

Such a special-grade sword technique, let alone being stronger than a high-grade sword technique, couldn't even compare to a low-grade one.

In short, the "Sacred Dragon Sword Technique" in Lige's hands was just a chicken rib.

"Why is the most important breathing method missing?"

Lige was puzzled.

"Could it be deliberately separated and stored elsewhere?"

If that were the case, was Yuli's intention in bringing Lige here to have him practice this special-grade sword technique?

Lige was a bit confused.

"Let's ask."

Lige didn't dwell on it. If he had questions, he could directly ask Yuli.

However, Lige first memorized the sword techniques of the "Sacred Dragon Sword Technique."

His memory was extraordinary, and even without taking the book out, he could spend some time and clearly remember all its contents.

"Alright."

About half an hour later, Lige closed his eyes, recalled what he had memorized, confirmed it was correct, and put the "Sacred Dragon Sword Technique" back on the shelf, then turned to leave.

At this time, it was still early.

After leaving the library, Lige originally wanted to go directly to Yuli, but thinking that Yuli might be entertaining important guests, he abandoned the idea and headed towards the courtyard.

He wanted to practice his sword in the courtyard to see if there were any special aspects of this special-grade sword technique that was missing the most important breathing method.

Lige had nothing to do at the moment, and there were no dungeons for him to challenge in this world. He could only use this method to train and confirm things, while also passing the time.

However, just as Lige was about to go downstairs, he was stopped by someone.

"Hello."

A middle-aged man with a beard, who looked a bit like a shady businessman, dressed as a butler, stopped Lige.

"Who are you?"

Lige stopped and looked at the shady businessman-like man.

"I am the butler of the Basoro family."

The shady businessman bowed to Lige, his face full of smiles, but his tone was filled with a pride that others might not notice.

"Basoro family?"

Lige raised an eyebrow.

Wasn't this the family of the young master whom Yuli didn't particularly favor?

Was this man his butler?

"Do you have something to say?"

Lige asked straightforwardly, his attitude not particularly rude but also not overly humble.

"There is something."

The shady businessman saw Lige's calm expression and his expression turned a bit sullen, but he still smiled and said, "Young Master, since you can walk around here freely, your status must be quite high, right?"

"I'm just a guest here, temporarily staying, and I don't have much status." Lige said calmly, "If you have something to say, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

"Since that's the case, I'll be direct." The shady businessman immediately smiled and approached, handing Lige a heavy bag, saying, "Please accept this first, Young Master."

Hearing this, Lige's heart stirred.

Although he didn't see what was in the heavy bag, from the feel of it, it was likely coins.

The currency in Orario was also coins, and Lige, who had carried money before, could easily tell what was inside from the feel of it.

But

"What does this mean?"

Lige held up the heavy bag of coins, his gaze becoming more meaningful as he looked at the shady businessman.

The shady businessman, seemingly unaware, stroked his beard and smiled.

"This is just a small deposit, for you to use for now." The shady businessman said with a forced smile, "If Young Master feels this is not enough, then providing a bit of insider information to me, I will certainly add more."

"Insider information?" Lige asked calmly, "For example?"

"For example, some insider information related to Lord Franzel." The shady businessman blinked, with a "you know what I mean" look, "Any kind of information, from personal hobbies to private secrets, as long as Young Master is willing to reveal it to the Basoro family, our young master will certainly reward you generously."

Hearing this, Lige knew exactly what the so-called butler of the Basoro family wanted.

He wanted to gather information on Yuli.

Whether it was personal hobbies or family secrets, they were all of interest.

As for why they were gathering this information, it was obvious that it wasn't for anything good.

Recalling Yuli's unhappy expression when she heard someone was visiting, Lige suddenly understood her.

This so-called Basoro family must have done this kind of thing many times.

"Alright." Lige's lips curled, and he put away the heavy bag of coins, saying, "Although I don't know any private secrets, if it's personal hobbies, I do know one of Lord Franzel's."

"What?" The other person immediately perked up.

"Lord Franzel seems to really enjoy drinking uniquely flavored black tea." Lige said expressionlessly, "Especially very bitter black tea, which she seems to particularly like."

"Very bitter black tea?" The shady businessman was slightly taken aback, "Is there anyone who likes bitter black tea?"

"That's why it's uniquely flavored." Lige smiled, "If someone could accompany Lord Franzel in drinking her favorite afternoon tea, Lord Franzel's mood would certainly be much better."

"I see." The shady businessman nodded in understanding and then smiled, "Thank you for the insider information, Young Master. I'll come to you again if there's an opportunity."

Saying this, the shady businessman left with enthusiasm.

Lige, left alone, watched the other person's departing back for a long time before muttering.

"This is the nobility."

Lige's tone was full of disgust and sarcasm.

The shady businessman's face and behavior reminded Lige of some unpleasant experiences from his previous life.

"Whatever, it's none of my business."

Lige turned to leave.

He now wanted to practice his sword more to dispel the slight annoyance that had risen in his heart.

"Swish!"

In the courtyard, next to a pavilion, Lige held a wooden sword and was practicing.

He first chopped down, then lifted it, slashed diagonally, and quickly pulled it back, delivering a fierce thrust that made the air whistle.

When Lige swung the sword, his speed was incredibly fast, and there was a sense of great force, whether it was chopping or thrusting, giving the impression of explosive power.

When Lige stopped, he found that he had broken out in a sweat after just one practice session.

"This Sacred Dragon Sword Technique is no joke."

Lige felt somewhat surprised.

"Being able to exercise all the muscles in the body with just a few movements and having such a wonderful technique for exerting force, no wonder it's a special-grade sword technique."

Lige found that practicing the sword using the techniques in the Sacred Dragon Sword Technique could have a significant training effect.

This kind of training far exceeded the effects of practicing with Aiz, and over time, it might even have miraculous effects.

"If I keep practicing like this, even at my level, it might still have some effect."

Lige felt both amazed and regretful.

"Unfortunately, the most important breathing technique is missing, otherwise, this sword technique would definitely be very strong."

Even without the breathing technique, it could still bring Lige some benefits, let alone with the breathing technique assisting.

"Is the breathing technique really lost, or was it deliberately removed?"

Lige thought about this casually while practicing his sword.

After a while, Lige suddenly noticed some commotion.

"I won't give up! Miss Yuli!"

A young man dressed as a noble had appeared at the entrance of the mansion, shouting, with the shady businessman-like man egging him on.

Lige stopped his practice and looked at the young man dressed as a noble.

He kept shouting and had his subordinates help, making a lot of noise.

Not long after, Yuli came out.

Her expression was not good.
