Chapter 119 -45 Break Limit of Swimming, New Trait (Two in One, Extra Update)_2

He continued to immerse himself in the water for a very simple reason.

That was to increase his Swimming Experience Value and incidentally practice his saber technique.

Although his saber skills couldn’t be used even if he broke through again, and even if he mastered the explosion of the Nine Layers of Strength, he still needed to go into the water for the sake of increasing his Swimming Experience Value.

[Skill]: Swimming (Perfection 793/1000)

He only needed a little over two hundred points to reach a thousand points of Swimming Experience Value.

He was full of anticipation for breaking the limit of his Swimming skill.

...

Moreover, the Swimming Experience Value increased very quickly. Based on his understanding over the past few days, he would only need to stay in the water for a little over two hours to earn those two hundred points.

Since going into the water, he might as well practice his saber technique, so as to not waste time and maximize efficiency.

Therefore, this time his main purpose for entering the water was to increase the Swimming Experience Value to attempt to Break Limit for the first time.

As for the increase in the Canglang Blade Skill Experience Value, that was merely incidental.

…

Upon entering the water, Jiang Ning returned to his previous spot.

Then, he continued to practice his saber technique.

[Swimming Experience Value +1]

[Swimming Experience Value +1]

[Canglang Blade Skill Experience Value +2]

[Swimming Experience Value +1]

[…]

Looking at the simultaneously increasing Experience Value of the two skills, he felt a hint of joy.

…

In the blink of an eye.

More than two hours had passed.

[Skill]: Swimming (Perfection 999/1000)

He glanced at his panel.

“Just a little more Experience Value to go!”

Jiang Ning thought to himself, and at this moment, his expression was noticeably invigorated.

After a short while.

[Canglang Blade Skill Experience Value +1]

[Swimming Experience Value +1]

When the prompt appeared again in front of him.

[Skill]: Swimming+ (1000/1000)

The Experience Value for the Swimming skill was completely filled, and a new plus sign appeared next to Swimming.

Seeing this plus sign, Jiang Ning felt a surge of joy.

“I can finally Break Limit. I wonder what new trait will emerge from breaking the limit of the Swimming skill?”

With this thought, his gaze fell on his panel.

[Source Energy]: 87.8

With a thought, the Source Energy Points instantly started to decrease rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they had dropped by ten.

[Source Energy]: 77.8

After lingering on this number for a moment, it stayed put.

“As expected, the first time breaking the limit of Swimming also costs ten Source Energy Points,” Jiang Ning said quietly to himself.

Then his gaze fell on the next line of his panel.

[Skill]: Swimming (First Limit Breaking 0/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)

[Underwater Breathing]: Mastery of underwater breathing enables one to draw oxygen from the water through the pores to sustain oneself.

Looking at this trait, Jiang Ning’s expression was one of astonishment.

“Underwater Breathing?”

“Such a unique ability.”

Murmuring to himself, he immediately became aware that even now, the oxygen in his lungs was no longer rootless or sourceless.

Fresh oxygen passed through the pores all over his body, instinctively drawn into his lungs.

He stayed still and quietly felt the changes in his body.

After a short moment.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, revealing a trace of joy in his gaze.

“Underwater Breathing, such a miraculous trait!”

“To think that just ten Source Energy Points could grant me such an amazing trait. This is simply too much of a bargain.”

Subsequently, he looked over his panel as a whole.

[Name]: Jiang Ning

[Source Energy]: 77.8

[Skill]:

Reading and Writing (Second Limit Breaking 1043/3000) (Traits: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)

Five Animals Fist (Perfection 765/1000)

Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Third Limit Breaking 4000/4000) (Traits: Touch and Understand, Blade like a Swift Wind, God-like Blade Control)

Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Master 1061/2000)

Canglang Blade Skill (Great Success 48/1000)

Vajra Immortal Body (Master 0/2000)

Swimming (First Limit Breaking 0/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)

These past few days, aside from practicing his saber skill, he was breathing and releasing Sun Essence Qi in the morning to temper his internal organs.

Regarding any other skills, he hadn’t spent time on them at all.

His aim was to quickly bring the Canglang Blade Skill to Great Success, to master the techniques after stacking the Five Layers of Strength.

Not until today did he complete this goal.

As for the Swimming skill, it came as an unexpected and delightful gain.

Previously, he had no idea that just by soaking in the lake for a while, he would obtain such a practical skill.

Now, the first Limit Breaking of this skill gave him another surprise.

Underwater Breathing might seem ordinary at first glance.

But it was, in fact, extremely useful.

It should be noted that humans are terrestrial creatures. Even with his advanced Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill broken through to Mastery, tempering his internal organs immensely,

on the level of his organ function and lung capacity, he could match the strength of a Martial Artist who had just entered Martial Arts Fifth Grade Inner Strength.

Even so, going into the water just to practice his saber technique meant that he could only persist for half an hour.

If it was a more intense fight, he could only last an even shorter amount of time.

This was the case even for a strong person at the Martial Arts Fifth Grade Inner Strength level.

For those below this rank, whether Seventh Grade, Eighth Grade, or even a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, entering the water would quickly exhaust them and lead to death.

But for Jiang Ning, it was entirely different.

Now, even if he stayed in the water for days and nights, he would be completely safe.

This was a tremendous advantage.

It meant that by the water’s edge, even top-notch Sixth Grade Martial Artists could not threaten him.

Once he entered the water, it became his home turf.

Just how strong a Martial Arts Sixth Grade was could be glimpsed from Cao Rong’s actions.

They were undoubtedly non-human entities.

But such beings, if they recklessly pursued him into the water, would give him a perfect opportunity to leave a non-human existence behind underwater.
