Ethan Clark was familiar with the music industry, so he naturally knew the name of Tianxing Media.

　　Although this company wasn’t a top-tier one, it still ranked among the best in the entire Great Zhou, and its main resources and artists were concentrated in the music industry. If its resources and foundation in the film and variety show sectors were on par with its music division, it could probably rival the six major entertainment groups of Great Zhou.

　　“Thank you.”

　　Ethan Clark expressed his gratitude.

　　“No need to be so polite. You’re Little Brother Clark’s son. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll do my best within my abilities.”

　　As Jason Carter spoke, he seemed to remember something. He took out a handwritten copy of a boxing manual from his person: “This is the Tianfeng Boxing of our Tianfeng Martial Arts School. Take it. Since you’re considered a disciple of Tianfeng Martial Arts School, you should naturally receive the proper treatment.”

　　“Tianfeng Boxing.”

　　Each of the nine major martial arts forces had at least one, sometimes several, boxing or sword techniques.

　　Whether it was boxing or swordsmanship, they could generally be divided into two types: training methods and combat techniques.

　　But regardless of whether it was a training method or a combat technique, they were all the kind you could learn as long as you paid.

　　The more famous the martial arts school, the higher the tuition.

　　For places like Tianfeng Martial Arts School and Tiandao Sword Sect, tuition could reach tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand a year. Ordinary people who didn’t have serious intentions for this path simply couldn’t afford it.

　　“This boxing manual contains both training and combat techniques. Tiandao Sword Sect may have sword techniques, but no boxing. If you learn a bit, even without a sharp sword in hand, you won’t be at too much of a disadvantage in a fight. As for the Five Elements Breathing Technique, you need medicinal assistance to practice it, otherwise you’ll only harm your body. If you want to learn it, you’ll have to stay at my Tianfeng Martial Arts School long-term.”

　　“I appreciate your kindness, Uncle Carter, but martial arts will only be a hobby for me from now on. I don’t plan to waste any more resources or money on breathing techniques or qi cultivation.”

　　“That won’t do. Tiandao Sword Sect still needs you to carry it forward.”

　　Jason Carter said, but then immediately changed his tone: “But you’ve just gone through a major upheaval, so I can understand your aversion to the martial arts world. I won’t force you. You’re still young—whenever you figure things out, come find me.”

　　Ethan Clark responded.

　　When they reached the parking lot, he watched Jason Carter leave.

　　After he left, Ethan Clark first went to the hospital to check on his younger brother Logan Clark.

　　With their mother Emily Bolton accompanying him, there was nothing to worry about.

　　Then, he returned to the courtyard of Tiandao Sword Sect.

　　Arriving at Chris Clark’s study, he put away the Tianfeng Boxing manual, placing it together with the Tiandao Sword Style of Tiandao Sword Sect.

　　He didn’t give much thought to the Five Elements Breathing Technique that Jason Carter mentioned.

　　The core of every sect was always its breathing technique.

　　Like the Five Elements Breathing Technique of Tianfeng Martial Arts School, or the Innate Qi Cultivation Technique of Tiandao Sword Sect.

　　Boxing and sword techniques, even when mastered, only led to physical perfection. If one wanted to break through the limits of the human body and step into the realm of a Qi and Blood Martial Master, one had to rely on breathing, qi cultivation, and similar methods.

　　To learn a breathing technique, you either had to spend a fortune, or, like William Harris and Matthew Wright, be accepted as a disciple by Brian Foster or Jason Carter, treated as a personal student and do things for them.

　　Unfortunately…

　　Unlike Tianfeng Martial Arts School or Longquan Sect, Tiandao Sword Sect only taught the Tiandao Sword Style, not the Innate Qi Cultivation Technique, which meant there were no personal disciples.

　　That’s also why, after Chris Clark died, Tiandao Sword Sect quickly fell apart.

　　“Innate Qi Cultivation Technique…”

　　As the eldest son of the Lu family, Ethan Clark naturally learned this qi cultivation method.

　　However, unlike most breathing techniques that could only temper the five internal organs, the Innate Qi Cultivation Technique was divided into four stages.

　　The first stage strengthened the body; the second tempered the organs; the third condensed vital blood; and the fourth, representing mastery of qi cultivation, produced Innate True Qi.

　　Ethan Clark was able to achieve minor physical mastery at eighteen thanks to the Innate Qi Cultivation Technique.

　　Likewise, it was because of the uniqueness of this technique that Chris Clark never taught it to outsiders.

　　The method of practicing the Innate Qi Cultivation Technique flowed through Ethan Clark’s mind.

　　“The first stage of the Innate Qi Cultivation Technique strengthens the body, tempering the muscles, bones, and skin together during the physical training phase. This method requires special medicinal supplements, otherwise it’s easy to deplete your qi and blood and damage your body. And these training medicines aren’t cheap…”

　　Ethan Clark had practiced for four years, spending nearly a million each year.

　　According to Chris Clark’s plan, as long as he kept practicing diligently, he should be able to achieve physical perfection by the age of twenty-five or twenty-six. Even if he slacked off a bit, he could still reach this stage before thirty.

　　In other words, he’d need at least seven or eight million in expenses.

　　Of course, he could also choose not to use medicinal supplements, but that would greatly reduce efficiency. Maybe he wouldn’t end up like William Harris, John Reed, or Matthew Wright, who only achieved physical mastery in their thirties and perfection in their forties, but the time required would definitely triple.

　　As for organ refinement and blood replacement, who knew when that would be possible.

　　“I need to make money. With no more income at home, we’ll burn through our savings. I have to find ways to increase income and cut expenses.”

　　Ethan Clark said.

　　But he needed nearly a million a year for martial arts, and his younger brother Logan Clark was almost at the age to start foundational training, which would also require money…

　　“So, what’s a way to make money that’s both easy and fast?”

　　“Ding.”

　　At that moment, Ethan Clark’s phone chimed.

　　He glanced at it and saw a new message.
