Teacher He Yanan gave Su Yuan a stern look, and then, with a serious expression, asked, "What stage are you at now? Have you reached the Eighth Star Nest?"
"Uh... Yes." Su Yuan nodded, considering himself to have reached the Eighth Star Nest, even though he had fully cleared the entire Eighth Star Nest...
"As expected!" He Yanan took a deep breath and sized up Su Yuan. "I knew it. Being able to attack an opponent from 500 meters away at least requires breaking through the Seventh Star Nest. This kind of talent is truly rare..."
The ability to enhance the concentration of Star Power and reduce the degree of decay after release was one of the traits possessed by the Master Level Breathing Technique.
Su Yuan had spent a month and a half in the Transversal Mountain Range, successfully training the Breathing Method to the third tier. Now, the Breathing Method panel appeared as follows:
"Breathing: General Breathing Method, Progress: Ninth Star Nest, Star Cave No. 1 (0/10w)
Effect 1: Concealing Breath: Conceals one's own breath and Star Power fluctuations through the Star Power Flow Cycle.
Effect 2: Overload: Greatly increases the speed and explosiveness of Star Power circulation, reducing the casting time of all skills by 40%.
Effect 3: Super Perception: Enhances sensitivity to Star Power and various energies, greatly increasing perception ability and range. It also boosts the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch!
Effect 4: Star Power Control: Gains better command over Star Power, significantly enhancing micromanagement and multi-action capabilities while increasing cultivation speed by 30%.
Effect 5: Star Spring: Increases total Star Power by 40%, with a 100% increase in Star Power recovery speed.
Effect 6: Permanent: Enhances the concentration of Star Power, reducing Star Power decay caused by time, distance, and other factors."
The Master Level Breathing Technique not only further enhanced effects such as Overload and Star Power Control but also added two new effects — "Star Spring" and "Permanent."
Among these, "Permanent" was the main reason Su Yuan could use Hellfire to attack Zhu Hongchi from 500 meters away.
However, that was secondary; the primary benefit was from "Star Spring," which provided 40% more total Star Power and 100% additional recovery speed!
This improvement was quite astonishing!
Su Yuan already had a Star Power full talent score of 70, which was two to three times higher than the average C-Grade talent and more than five times higher than D-Grade talent.
With the Star Power Source in his grasp, this gap was further multiplied, widening the margin even more.
It was now seven to eight times higher than an ordinary C-Grade talent, more than double an ordinary D-Grade talent!
And by the time these people reached the Shining Star Level with an understanding of Star Spring, Su Yuan would likely have unlocked the Great Success Stage Breathing Technique by then...
Moreover, this was only the total Star Power; the recovery speed doubling significantly elevated his endurance!
At this moment, He Yanan pondered for a while, then said to Su Yuan, "You have a high talent in breathing techniques; there are some things I think I can tell you in advance."
Hearing He Yanan say this, Su Yuan's expression became serious as well, "Teacher Xiao He, please speak."
He Yanan looked at Su Yuan and asked, "Do you think the current role of breathing is significant?"
Su Yuan answered without hesitation.
Are you kidding? It was a rare passive boost and a percentage increase at that. The deeper the cultivation, the more beneficial it became.
"In fact, this is not all there is to breathing... In addition to these passive abilities, each level of breathing hides an 'Ultimate Skill.'"
Su Yuan was taken aback. What was that?
"Ultimate Skill is a technique evolved from breathing. It has no grade and is not limited by grade or skill slots, but it is undoubtedly practical and powerful."
A powerful skill evolved from breathing?
Su Yuan felt a strong surge of interest.

"Teacher Xiao He, what are some of these Ultimate Skills?"
He Yanan smiled and said, "The information related to Ultimate Skills can only be accessed with ten or more layers of authority in the Book Tower. However, I can tell you a few.
Breathing has five levels from Entry-level to Perfect Level, each corresponding to an Ultimate Skill, collectively known as the 'Five Skills.'
Entry-level Breathing corresponds to the Ultimate Skill 'Divine and Ghost Invisibility': an invisibility skill that evades all detections, moving without leaving traces and unnoticed by anyone!
Skilled Level Breathing corresponds to the Ultimate Skill 'One Heart Dustless': Clearing all distractions and emotional fluctuations, completely focusing on the battle zone to gain perception ability and Star Power Control ability beyond the limits.
In combat, there is no Star Power wastage, capable of gathering all combat-relevant information without omission and can even predict the opponent's attacks!
Master Level Breathing corresponds to the Ultimate Skill 'Mana Tide', with endless Star Power supply, greatly reducing casting delays and intervals!"
Su Yuan listened to He Yanan's description of the three Ultimate Skills and grew increasingly astonished.
Divine and Ghost Invisibility!
These three Ultimate Skills, regardless of which one, could directly elevate the strength of a Star Card Master by at least one level!
"Teacher Xiao He, how can one learn the Ultimate Skill?"
"There are no effective methods to train for an Ultimate Skill. As long as the breathing technique reaches a certain level, there is a chance to comprehend the corresponding Ultimate Skill.
In other words, even if you only have Entry-level Breathing, you may comprehend 'Divine and Ghost Invisibility.' But if you have Perfect Level Breathing, you may not necessarily comprehend any Ultimate Skill...
It mainly relies on talent and luck.
Of course, the higher the breathing technique level, the higher the probability of comprehension.
Additionally, ample combat also helps in comprehending the Ultimate Skill.
After all, in most cases, Ultimate Skills are comprehended during high-intensity battles."
Seeing the eagerness in Su Yuan's eyes, He Yanan added, "Your journey ahead is long, so there's no need to rush. Even among the Sun, Moon, and Stars Level Three, those who master an Ultimate Skill are few and far between, extremely rare.
Ultimate Skills have no hierarchy; although Divine and Ghost Invisibility and One Heart Dustless are slightly more common, it's only because more people reach these levels of breathing."
How mystifying, having no method for cultivation and relying solely on talent, luck, and combat...
Su Yuan observed He Yanan's expression; sensing a faint, hidden pride in her tone, though not very apparent, while she spoke these words.
"So, Teacher Xiao He, do you possess an Ultimate Skill?" Su Yuan asked with a smile.
He Yanan crossed her arms over her chest, "I'm so young, serving as your class homeroom teacher naturally means I have some skills...
Indeed, I am fortunate to have mastered an Ultimate Skill, though I can't tell you what it is~"
Su Yuan looked at He Yanan in front of him, though very curious, he knew this was not something he should inquire about.
"Also, about the Ultimate Skills I mentioned today, don't with others for now. It's still too early for them."
Su Yuan nodded, "Teacher, rest assured, I understand!"
