Snake-like Breath Holding Skill!
Hence its name, Snake-like Breath Holding Skill.
Once this skill was used, the whole person's spirit would be completely restrained. No matter how you used Internal Qi, no matter what movement your body made, your spirit would not be released. Even the sound of the wind when your body moved would be restrained. Even a person with a strong spiritual mind would not be able to detect it.
"It's too weird. How could there be such a weird secret skill in the world!"
After returning to the Wu Family, Junior Leopard practiced alone. He used the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill again. The result was as surprising as before. The Snake-like Breath Holding Skill was like the Extraordinary Strength Fist that Xue Wuya taught him. At the same time, he could also use other martial arts without any conflict.
Coupled with the characteristics of this set of martial arts, it was simply the best way to backstab someone. If combined with the Extraordinary Strength Fist and the Three Realms Division that Xue Wuya taught him, he would be able to punch silently, powerfully, and unexpectedly. Just thinking about it made him sweat on his back!
It was already midnight. A bright moon was hanging in the night sky. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the earth. The whole courtyard was filled with a quiet atmosphere.
Xu Yong was still in the Wu Family's refining room. It was said that the Wu Family had received an order from the Tianshan Sect in the northwest to forge a suitable weapon for the young master of the Tianshan Sect. Only an Elder like Xu Yong, who was proficient in refining weapons, could do such a thing.
So now, in this small courtyard, Junior Leopard became the new master.
In fact, there was no one in this small courtyard. There were only two servants in cyan.
Usually, they were mainly responsible for things like serving tea and pouring water.
Junior Leopard was the only successor of Xu Yong. His position in the Wu Family was extremely high. In the younger generation, except for the two or three boys of the Wu Family, his position was equal to the other juniors.
However, Junior Leopard had always been low-key like Xu Yong. He didn't show himself often. Even when he was facing the manservants in the courtyard, he was still polite. He wasn't like Shi Jing who was so arrogant. Therefore, his relationship with a few core disciples of the same generation was not bad. He also got along very well with the ordinary inner core disciples.
To put it bluntly, he knew how to conduct himself.
The Inner Core disciples of the Wu Family were divided into two kinds. One was proficient in martial arts like him, and the other was specialized in refining weapons.
Both kinds of disciples got money. It was just a matter of how much they got.
Inner core disciples who were good at martial arts were paid a fixed salary, not much, only three taels of silver a month. Junior Leopard was an inner core disciple, so he got a little more, five taels of silver.
On the other hand, the inner disciples who specialized in the path of tool refinement would receive a share of the value of the tools they forged each month in addition to their monthly allowance. If they were lucky, it wouldn't be a problem for them to earn a few dozen taels of silver a month.
Therefore, relatively speaking, the disciples who specialized in the path of weapon refinement were much more generous than the disciples who specialized in martial arts.
Moreover, the Wu Family focused on refining weapons and encouraged these disciples to practice the way of refining weapons. After all, it was too difficult to make a breakthrough in martial arts. Without enough opportunities, perseverance, and the help of treasures of heaven and earth, no matter how good one's aptitude was, being able to enter the Bone-Forging Realm was already the limit. Like Wang She and Lu Shaoyou who reached Level Eight at the age of 30, only the Tian Long Taoism and the Mingyi School could do it and cultivate them. It was impossible for a small well-known family like the Wu Family to have them. Even if there were one or two of them, they could only put up a front at most and could not change the general situation. Therefore, the Wu Family's main focus was still on the way of refining weapons.
Refining weapons was the foundation of the Wu Family.
Of course, as the saying goes, how could one not be stabbed in Jianghu?
Although they had the protection of the Tian Long Taoism, they could not trouble them for everything. Moreover, the Wu Family's Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and 81 movements Wild Hammering Skill were also first-class unique skills. If they were practiced well, they could be promoted to Level Nine. Although the Wu Family had not produced a Level Nine expert since the Wu Family's Old Ancestor, there was still hope.
Therefore, for young talents like Junior Leopard who had excellent root bones and comprehension, they also had the attitude of cultivating them. It was always good to have another fighter in the future.
Therefore, in the Wu Family, the status of the Inner Core disciples who specialized in martial arts and refining weapons was equal. It was just a matter of money.
However, the Inner Core disciples who specialized in martial arts still had the opportunity to make money.
The Wu Family was a big family and there were all kinds of things happening every day. These things were big and small. But after all, in Jianghu, there were all kinds of disputes.
Therefore, when the martial arts of the Inner Core disciples who specialized in martial arts reached a certain level, there would be all kinds of tasks for them to choose from.
This was also a kind of experience for them. After these Inner Core disciples had done all kinds of tasks for a period of time, they were considered familiar with the things in Jianghu. Most of them would be assigned to various branches of the Wu Family to hold various positions, just like Qin Xuanlong. The level of the position was determined by the martial arts and the assigned location. Generally speaking, the ordinary Inner Core disciples were assigned to big places and could only hold some middle and lower level positions. But this was still much better than those Wu Family disciples who slowly worked their way up from the bottom. As for the Inner Core disciples like Junior Leopard, they could be assigned to many places and had a lot of choices. When they went to the branch, they would get a higher position. But no matter where they were assigned, their main responsibility was the same, that was to be a fighter.
The difference was just an ordinary fighter and a strong fighter.
Similarly, after the disciples who specialized in refining weapons finished their apprenticeship, they would also be assigned to various branches to strengthen the Wu Family's refining power.
These, were all in the future.
Before the Inner Core disciples who specialized in martial arts finished their apprenticeship, apart from the allowance, their biggest source of income was various kinds of tasks. Not to mention the high rewards of these tasks, the expenses along the way were all covered by the Wu Family. From Junior Leopard's point of view, it was equivalent to traveling at public expense. Of course, the premise was that you could complete the task.
Junior Leopard had not yet reached the level where he could go out on a task. Even if he was an Inner Core disciple like him, he would at least need to stay under his master for two or three years. His martial arts had reached the Basic Level and he would get permission from his master before he could take on those kinds of tasks.
There were no strict rules on the age and strength of the Wu Family's Inner Core disciples to go out on a task. This was because the Wu Family had all kinds of tasks. Even a disciple whose strength was at Level One could find a suitable task for himself. And for an Inner Core disciple like Junior Leopard, the only condition for him to go out on a task was his master's permission.
After all, their masters were the Elders of the Wu Family. This was the minimum respect.
And now even if Junior Leopard wanted to go out on a task, Xu Yong would not agree.
Junior Leopard did not care. Five taels of silver a month was enough for him to eat and drink. This was much better than the conditions of the Zhou Family in the mountain village. Thinking back, before his brother-in-law returned, the Zhou Family could earn five or six taels of silver a year, which was already considered a good year.
Now he was wholeheartedly devoted to the cultivation of martial arts. How would he have the leisure time to go out and spend money?
Using the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, Junior Leopard practiced the Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill. After a set of punching skills, he only felt sore all over. He wished he could replace all the parts of his body and soak them in hot water several times. Originally he thought he had reached the limit of his body strength, but now there was some progress. His tendons, meridians, and muscles seemed to be a little stronger.
With a sudden inspiration, Junior Leopard seemed to realize something. Resisting the exhaustion of his whole body, he once again practiced the Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill. This time, his movement was much slower than the first time. He did not use the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, but he honestly practiced this set of punching skills. Along with his movement, the muscles of his whole body sometimes bulged and sometimes contracted. Indistinctly, there was the sound of bones rubbing. Finally, with a long breath, a fiery red light gushed out of his body. It was the result of his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi seeping into his muscles.
"Ha!" All of a sudden, Junior Leopard gave a low shout. Red Internal Qi gushed out from tens of thousands of pores on his body, instantly setting his clothes on fire. Junior Leopard didn't care about it. He didn't stop until he finished practicing a set of Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill.
After that, Junior Leopard's whole body was shrouded in red Internal Qi. He jumped into the room and closed the door and window tightly. Then the red Internal Qi on his body disappeared and he stood there naked.
"Damn, it's really shameful. Fortunately, I didn't see it. Releasing Internal Qi and moving around my skin and flesh, I actually broke through to Level Two at this time. Not bad, not bad!"
Just now, his cultivation broke through to Level Two with the help of the Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill.
The Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi in his body could freely move between his skin and flesh and be released through countless pores on his body.
This was also the biggest difference between this world's practice system and the novels he had read before. The Internal Qi not only moved in the tendons and meridians and was released through the tendons and meridians, but it could also move between the skin, flesh, bones and tendons. Now, he was only in the Skin-Toughening Realm and had just reached Level Two. He still did not know how to restrain the Internal Qi Fire Strength. That was why the situation where all his clothes were burnt just now happened.
"Good boy, it's just a level up, but the strength of the body is ten times stronger than Level One. Hehe, a whole ten times! The Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill is really worthy of being the top punching skill of Skin Toughening. Using the ordinary punching skill of Skin Toughening, when one just stepped into Level Two, the strength of the body is at most three or four times stronger than that of Level One. Only by slowly stabilizing the Level Two realm and continuously practicing can there be some improvement. How could it be like me now, suddenly becoming ten times stronger?
It's not a loss to have this teacher, not a loss at all!
Junior Leopard proudly changed a set of clothes, his face revealing a proud smile. "Alas, it seems that I have to get a new set of clothes tomorrow, hehe!"
