Li Bai himself was oblivious to what was happening in the surroundings, since he had his eyes closed, a requirement for this breathing technique.
However, his sister, Li Bao, could see everything clearly, since she was not doing anything at the moment.
The energy in the surroundings circulated fiercely on top of her brother's motionless body like a storm.
"This is... one of the long lost Circulation Techniques?" Li Bao stared at her brother in amazement as she recalled what she read on a book.
Indeed, Breathing Techniques were long gone from this country, and they have been renamed as Circulation Techniques appropriately.
These Circulation Techniques were said to be the hardest to comprehend out of all of the kinds of cultivation techniques, but it was also hailed to be the most effective way.
However, less and less people comprehended these techniques and eventually, they all disappeared from the continent.
Seeing her brother using one in front of her... Li Bao was startled. How much did her brother know? Why did he have knowledge of long lost techniques?
Could it be... that he has a Time-traveling Technique? No, that couldn't possibly be it!
As Li Bao thought more, she progressively got more and more confused. Finally, she decided to just ask her little brother, as it was the easiest and most simple solution.
Of course, she could not do that now... It was said that one should not disturb the cultivating of a person, or else they would suffer severe internal injuries.
Li Bao didn't wish for this to happen to her brother, so she just lied back down on the floor of the massive space.
Li Bai, on the other hand, was finding it harder and harder to maintain breathing like this.
'Why is it like this? This is supposed to make breathing easier, not suffocate me!'
He decided to stop the breathing technique as he found it utterly useless. In the end, however, he felt greatly revitalized as he tried to stand up.
"So it did have an effect..."
Li Bao saw her brother moving and quickly tried to stand, but her body felt too heavy for her to lift herself up.
Instead, Li Bai was the one who walked over as he saw his sister struggling to stand in his peripheral view.
"Sis, let's get out of here... the Earth energy is gone."
"Yeah, let's go."
.....
The tournament was drawing near. Only a day was left before the tournament would start.
Li Bai was excited as he felt like this was a chance to raise his popularity within the city. A ten-year-old like him couldn't possibly attain the Fifth Level Mark unless he had been blessed with extraordinary talent! This was his plan to amaze everyone within this city, so as to make them desire to be his disciple.
Many commoners were also going to be participating in the tournament, in the hopes of getting a spot in travelling to the capital city, the Red Dragon City.
As such, on the actual day of the tournament, the number of participants was expected to be enormous!
The Liu clan had managed to reestablish their relationship with the other major clans, albeit said relationships being fragile. The other clans didn't trust the clan's head, Liu Gong, that much anymore.
