“Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique, excellent quality, focuses on enhancing agility, has a small chance to awaken the Transcendent traits ‘Swift’ and ‘Fire Wing’ under specific advanced Magic Potion combinations,”

Exchange price: 1 Golden Medal plus 2000 Merit Points.”

“…”

Breathing techniques of excellent level were not abundant in the Sword Bearers Branch, there were altogether six types.

Rein looked at the above descriptions of breathing techniques, lost in thought.

“Although I’ve harvested quite a number of Golden Skill Points this time, totaling 11, after using 4, I’m left with only 7….”

“Considering that merging the Fire Gekko Breathing Technique already used 4 points, if I merge another technique, that would leave only 3 points…”

“And I still need to consider enhancing other Extraordinary Battle Skills and secret techniques…”

“Golden Skill Points are really not enough!”

“Let’s exchange one and see.”

After some thought, Rein spoke, “Help me exchange for the Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique.”

“Alright, sir,” the female clerk started to operate quickly.

The reason why Rein chose this technique was reasoned.

The Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique and the Fire Gekko Breathing Technique were similar, both have a small chance of awakening fire-based Transcendent traits.

Thus, Rein wanted to see if the effect would become more pronounced after fusion.

…

After obtaining the Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique, Rein returned to his long-missed dormitory.

He stored the blue and white sky-smashing Buster and the pair of exotic level Daggers into his cabinet.

In the cabinet, there was also the crystal staff from the slain ‘Ice Messenger’ Grant and the blood-glow Dagger from the ‘Shadow Assassin.’

With that, the cabinet was fully packed.

Seeing this scene, Rein couldn’t help but laugh.

“If there’s more, I couldn’t fit them in anymore!”

“Besides, it’s funny to think that I’m still living in the newbie room despite being at the star rank…”

However, Rein didn’t mind this.

After tidying up briefly, Rein sat at his desk and opened the scroll containing the ‘Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique,’ reading it thoroughly.

About half an hour later, Rein put down the scroll and squinted, pondering.

“This Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique consists of twenty-three forms, which are two more forms than the original Fire Gekko Breathing Technique, seemingly indicating better quality.”

“Of course, it still doesn’t compare to the new Fire Bear Breathing Technique with twenty-four forms, but the difference is minimal.”

After that, Rein naturally began practicing the Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique.

The first movement of the Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique was a weird pose that violated the normal human stance, similar to the ‘Upward Dog Variation’ from Rein’s previous life’s yoga.

Of course, for Rein, it was nonetheless effortless.

A few seconds later, Rein completed the first form….

Then came the second form.

…

In less than an hour, Rein had performed all twenty-three movements of the Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique.

At this moment, the system notification sounded:

[Ding! Detected host’s Fire Winged Flying Serpent Breathing Technique, achieved minimum level for merging with Fire Bear Breathing Technique, current conditions met, fusion to new breathing technique available. This fusion will consume 2 Golden Skill Points, yes/no to proceed with fusion?]

(Note: After fusion, the Fire Bear Breathing Technique will no longer be displayed on the panel, but the host can still use the related secret techniques and derivative secret techniques.)

(Note: After fusion… a certain percentage will be converted into the improved new breathing technique’s experience points.)

“Eh, only 2 Golden Skill Points required? That’s half less than last time,” Rein was pleasantly surprised.

Just when he was about to choose fusion, Rein raised an eyebrow.

He suddenly remembered something he had forgotten to do.

He stored the scroll carefully and left the dormitory.

…

Shortly after, Rein familiarly arrived at the third floor of the training hall, the testing room.

At that moment, the young girl in the room saw someone enter, promptly stood up, and asked crisply, “Sir, may I assist you in any way?”

“I’m here to do a test on elemental affinity.”

“Alright, sir, this service, as per the rules, will cost you 5 Merit Points, is that alright?”

“That’s fine, but I would prefer not to have anyone present during the test.”

“Um, according to the rules…” the girl hesitated, looking troubled as she was about to gently refuse.

Suddenly, her whole demeanor changed, her eyes brightened, and she quickly smiled sweetly, changing her statement:

“Alright, sir.”

The girl saw the transparent Sword Bearer badge Rein handed to her.

She respectfully took it and immediately stopped saying anything else.

Although according to the rules, she was supposed to stay nearby.

But for a diamond-ranked sir…

Even if he were to dismantle this testing room, he could afford the compensation.

However, if she offended a diamond-ranked sir, the officer would probably dismiss her immediately.

The girl voluntarily closed the door behind her and then stepped out.

Rein walked around the two-meter tall crystal prism, gave the room a thorough look to ensure there were no hidden recording devices, and then nodded slightly.
