165: Chapter 165 Upgrade, Double SSS-Rank Spells
"Oh, I see. If the slot is gone, then it's gone!"
Zhou Bai nodded and spoke indifferently.
Looking at the carefree Zhou Bai, Mu Qinghuang's heart felt a momentary trance.
This was a slot for the Four Great Sacred Halls, a holy land that countless martial artists in Great Xia yearned to enter, yet Zhou Bai truly didn't care.
"Zhou Bai, I can plead with our Spark Holy Temple elders to reconsider and give you another slot. With your talent, it would be a pity not to join the Four Great Sacred Halls..."
Mu Qinghuang was silent for a moment before continuing to Zhou Bai.
"No need. Joining the Four Great Sacred Halls doesn't mean everything!"
Zhou Bai continued, looking at Mu Qinghuang with a gentle gaze, "Thank you!"
Zhou Bai could feel Mu Qinghuang's goodwill; she was truly considering his best interests.
But Zhou Bai didn't think the Four Great Sacred Halls were really that big of a deal.
"No need to thank me, I didn't do much!"
Mu Qinghuang said slowly.
"Then I'll be going now. Goodbye!"
After a while, Mu Qinghuang glanced at Zhou Bai with a complex expression, then spoke softly.
"Mm, goodbye!"
Zhou Bai nodded and bid farewell to Mu Qinghuang as well.
Mu Qinghuang turned and left. When she reached the hall entrance, her footsteps paused for a moment, but she still departed resolutely.
"Junior, you have a history with this senior sister from the Imperial Martial Arts University too, don't you?"
Zhao Shiyu looked at the departing Mu Qinghuang and then whispered to Zhou Bai.
"Yeah, something did happen between her and me..."
Zhou Bai didn't hide it from Zhao Shiyu and spoke slowly.
After all, their relationship had already reached a level beyond ordinary imagination. Moreover, in the virtual reality pod, Zhao Shiyu had even been with Shen Ninger...
So, regarding whatever relationship Zhou Bai had with this goddess senior sister from the Imperial Martial Arts University, Zhao Shiyu didn't actually have too many thoughts about it.
She supported everything about Zhou Bai...
"Junior, how about you go..."
Zhao Shiyu continued slowly, her gaze hesitant as she looked at Zhou Bai in front of her.
Zhou Bai reached out and covered Zhao Shiyu's mouth, saying slowly, "No need. It was just a chance encounter. We'll see if fate brings us together again in the future..."
Zhao Shiyu leaned gently into Zhou Bai's embrace.
Feeling the obedient and pure girl in his arms, Zhou Bai's heart began to stir again.
"Let's go. Let's find a place so I can check your body!"
Zhou Bai then picked up Zhao Shiyu and smiled.
A hint of blush flashed across Zhao Shiyu's face, but she still let Zhou Bai carry her toward the University Alliance's VIP lounge.
Soon, in the VIP lounge, Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu rekindled their old flame.
The two of them vented their emotions to their hearts' content in the VIP room.
A few hours later, Zhou Bai let Zhao Shiyu wash up and rest. After all, she was pregnant and couldn't be as indulgent as before.
Zhou Bai went to the University Alliance's cultivation room.
"System, upgrade the SS-rank [Thunder Spirit Breathing Technique] and [Thunder Piercing Sky Spear]!"
After entering the cultivation room, Zhou Bai input the two top-tier SS-rank Breathing Techniques and martial arts rewarded by Great Xia into the system and immediately began upgrading them.
[Ding! Consumed a skill upgrade card. SS-rank Thunder Spirit Breathing Technique upgraded to SSS-rank Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique!]
[Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique]: SSS-rank top-tier Breathing Technique. A domineering and masculine supreme Breathing Technique containing the rules and profound meanings of the Dao of Thunder...
[Ding! Consumed a skill upgrade card. SS-rank Thunder Piercing Sky Spear upgraded to SSS-rank Thunder Abyss World-Extinguishing Spear. Current remaining skill upgrade cards: *.]
[Thunder Abyss World-Extinguishing Spear]: SSS-rank top-tier spear technique. Condenses Thunder Power into a Thunder Abyss. Every thrust contains super-strong destructive power. The more layers of Thunder Abyss condensed, the more ferocious the spear technique's power becomes. It can stack up to eighteen layers of Thunder Abyss at most, suppressing the entire world...
As Zhou Bai assigned points, the system's prompts rang in his mind.
"SSS-rank Breathing Technique and spear technique!"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Zhou Bai's eyes were full of joy, and he felt a complete sense of security.
Although Zhou Bai's Thunder Breathing Technique was good, it was only an S-rank Breathing Technique.
Compared to the foundations of those truly peerless geniuses, there was still a considerable gap.
From his previous contact with Mu Qinghuang, Zhou Bai knew that top-tier geniuses like Ye Wushang and Mu Qinghuang used SS-rank Breathing Techniques, which brought their foundations to a terrifying level.
Top-tier Breathing Techniques not only make a martial artist's foundation stronger and their improvement speed faster, but they are also superior for tempering the martial artist.
Just like Aaron Helens, who could achieve eleven spiritual apertures; besides his own top-tier SSS-rank Light Element talent, his Breathing Technique must also be of an extremely high grade.
"With this Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique, perhaps I can also open more spiritual apertures..."
Feeling the power of the Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique, Zhou Bai muttered to himself.
Although Zhou Bai's Thunder Breathing Technique was powerful, combined with his talent, he might be able to open ten spiritual apertures.
However, it could never open an eleventh spiritual aperture.
Now, with this Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique, Zhou Bai was absolutely certain he could open eleven or even twelve spiritual apertures.
The more spiritual apertures opened, the more spiritual energy of heaven and earth could be drawn in, and the more terrifying the enhancement to one's foundation and potential.
"And this Thunder Abyss World-Extinguishing Spear, an SSS-rank spear technique, contains power that can destroy the heavens and earth..."
Zhou Bai muttered in a low voice.
"Now, let's switch Breathing Techniques first!"
Zhou Bai looked at his learning points count: [2310].
Because he had also taken Mu Qinghuang as a partner, Zhou Bai's learning efficiency reached sixfold. Combined with the help of the girls, Zhou Bai could obtain several thousand learning points every day.
After these days of hard study, Zhou Bai's learning points had reached over 20,000 again.
"System, assign points to the Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique!"
Zhou Bai didn't hesitate at all and immediately used learning points to upgrade the Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique.
[Ding! Consumed 1,000 learning points. The Host has successfully comprehended the Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique. Current remaining learning points: 13,100.]
As the learning points were consumed, a memory of diligently studying the Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique appeared in Zhou Bai's mind.
Zhou Bai's comprehension of the Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique reached an extremely profound level.
After comprehending it, Zhou Bai then began to adjust his breathing rhythm and started switching to the Thunder Emperor Breathing Technique.
Soon, the rhythm of Zhou Bai's breathing changed, and the incomparably domineering Thunder Power within Zhou Bai's
Behind Zhou Bai, a phantom of a Thunder Emperor faintly emerged, radiating a vast and majestic aura that suppressed the heavens and earth.
The space of the entire cultivation room trembled slightly.
After switching the Breathing Technique, although Zhou Bai hadn't opened more spiritual apertures, the spiritual energy and blood qi in his body seemed to be strengthened, undergoing continuous transformation.
"System, assign points to the Thunder Abyss World-Suppressing Spear!"
While his body was transforming, Zhou Bai once again assigned points to the SSS-rank spear technique.
[Ding! Consumed 1,000 learning points. SSS-rank Thunder Abyss World-Suppressing Spear upgraded to the First Level. Current remaining learning points: 3,100.]
