Chapter 877: Part 2: Reviewing breathing methods

Auction House

The old lady greeted us inside and led us to her office. She sat in her seat behind the desk.

She asked us to take a seat. We sat opposite her.

The old lady smiled and said, "My name is Dorothy. How may I help you?"

Hearing that, Head Harold didn’t waste time. He stated the request.

Dorothy nodded her head. They did buy and sell breathing methods. A good breathing method was important for the Beast Tamers.

They could utilize the talent efficiently.

"What’s your talent, young man?"

"And what type of breathing method do you need?" she asked.

"I have the Supreme Combat Body Talent. But I need a matching breathing method which is not overbearing," Jeremy said with a smile.

Dorothy was taken aback by the request. The Supreme Combat Body was a good talent. But the Beast Tamers with such talent usually preferred overbearing methods

So that they could develop their strong physique. From the young man’s words, she understood that he didn’t like domineering powerful methods.

She was an old lady with experience. She saw through the young man’s thoughts clearly.

"The Supreme Combat Body is known for combat. So, most of the matching breathing methods are overbearing, but they will increase body strength."

"The weight behind your attack will be tenfold. Most Beast Tamers won’t fight in close combat. But people with such a physique can take the risk," Dorothy explained.

Hearing that, Jeremy Night was surprised. He didn’t expect the old woman to be so understanding and patient.

Head Harold listened from the side. He nodded his head and said, "This kid practiced blade moves. So, he needs something that matches his blade and physique."

"Interesting," Dorothy uttered.

She had been a bit confused. But her doubts were cleared right now.

"No wonder you didn’t want the domineering type of powers," she added.

She then said, "You can use water methods. But it would be difficult. If you had a water talent, then it would be beneficial."

"I can only think of using natural treasures in daily practice. But it’s hard to find treasures of the elemental type."

"And it’s even more of an enormous task to use elemental treasures in daily practice," she added.

Jeremy heard her words. Even he started to wonder whether he was being unreasonable.

Head Harold didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to discourage the kid. He hoped Jeremy Night understood the current situation.

Quiet!

There was a moment of silence.

Dorothy looked at the young man. She then saw the old man next to him. Seeing that the old man was not saying anything, she thought that the old man shared the same reasoning as her.

Jeremy Night was pondering. He didn’t want to give up the blade method. He was already practicing the Star Fist. It was extremely powerful and domineering.

If he practiced a similar breathing method, then he might ignore the blade moves. He didn’t want to leave the blade behind.

The blade moves had accompanied him since childhood.

Dorothy then phoned someone.

Shortly afterwards,

A staff entered the room. Dorothy looked at him and said, "Bring the breathing methods suitable for the Supreme Combat Body."

Hearing that, the staff member looked at the young man. He nodded his head before leaving the place.

Head Harold was surprised. He knew the rules of the auction house. If they didn’t have the requested items, they would decline the request politely.

He had been to the city before, so he knew some inner workings of the organization.

Thus, he didn’t expect the Manager to look into it.

On the other hand, Jeremy Night was stunned. He didn’t expect the old lady to do this all of a sudden.

He didn’t know whether any suitable things would interest him.

It didn’t take long for the staff member to come back with a wooden box. The wooden box contained the suitable breathing methods.

The staff member had screened the methods before placing them in the box. He then placed the box on the table.

He left after getting permission.

The old lady, Dorothy, then said, "Look at this box. Take your time to go through the methods."

After saying that, Dorothy turned toward the old man.

"Elder, why don’t we take a walk around the auction building?" she asked.

"It’s my honor," Head Harold replied.

He understood his presence might influence and force Jeremy Night to make a hasty decision.

Then, both of them left the room.

When they were gone from the place, Jeremy stood up from his chair. He picked up the wooden box and opened it. He then saw the old books.

They were not copied into new ones. It showed that the Supreme Combat Talent was rare. If it were a common one, there would be digital copies as well.

He shook his head before putting away those thoughts.

Then, he picked up the first breathing method book. He saw the cover: "Elemental Body." The title intrigued him. He then began to read the description.

As time passed, he understood that it belonged to a Beast Tamer who had the Supreme Combat Body Talent and an absorption talent.

The Beast Tamer had contracted a lifeline beast with an elemental ability. He had used his second talent and the elemental talent of the beast to create the elemental body.

But the technique was incomplete as well. He had died during a beast tide in the 4th zone. He had Tier-6 strength at the time of his death.

Jeremy suppressed his chaotic thoughts. He tried to remain as clear-headed as possible. He then put aside the book and picked up the second book.

Though he didn’t find a good method, he was getting some ideas. He had a feeling that most of his predecessors had developed their own methods.

The reason was because they hadn’t found a suitable method either. Everyone had the same talent but with a different skillset and different lifeline beasts.

Most of the time, the talent of the lifeline beasts influenced their decisions as well. The following methods were the same.

They were not suitable for him. His lifeline beast had a rare star element power. If he could get a method to utilize it, that would be great. He then continued to go through the old books.

On the other hand, Elder Dorothy and Head Harold were having a friendly conversation.
