Chapter 1 Breathwork
Chapter 1 Breathing Method
Morning Sun Continent, Grant Kingdom, Gerda Province, Wright County, Knight Academy.
A teenager wearing pitch-black steel armor and a gray leather cap sat cross-legged on the stone steps, his chest heaving together, each breath spewing out a white stream of air, surprisingly lasting for an hour and a half.
The cold north wind blew, mixed with snowflakes hitting Richard’s body, practicing breathing method in the weather of minus thirty degrees Celsius, although it was very painful and looked as if it was self-inflicted, Richard still did not stop practicing breathing method.
Every day in the early morning, Richard had to practice Breathing Technique. In Grant Kingdom Knight Academy, it was still relatively rare to see a student as diligent as him.
Especially in the winter months, the colder the climate was, the more suitable it was for the Berserker Lion Legion Breathing Method that Richard practiced. After completing the breathing method practice, Richard held a sharp sword and picked up the thick wooden stakes with his feet, chopping them continuously.
The sharp sword made a sharp cracking sound, easily splitting the stakes that were as thick as a basin in two. After splitting three hundred stakes, the morning’s cultivation was considered finished.
“Breathing Technique Proficiency +4, Third Order Perfection (4000/4000).
Sword Technique Proficiency +1, Sword Technique Third Order (289/4000).”
Richard gasped for breath, quickly dried the sweat on his body, and with a thought, silently opened the attribute panel.
Richard Harland.
Strength: 6.7
Agility: 2.3
Physical Strength: 3.5
Mental Strength: 8.9
Breath of the Wild Lion Legion: 3rd Order (4000/4000)
Grant Kingdom Basic Swordsmanship: 3rd Order (289/4000)
Archery: 3rd Order (2590/4000)
Riding: 2nd level (1743/2000)
Northern Legion Fighting Arts: Second Order (435/2000)
Looking at the attribute panel in his mind, Richard pondered in his heart.
“It’s been six years since I came to this fantasy world, and it’s been a year and a half since I practiced the Breathing Technique, so I’ve finally cultivated the Breathing Technique of the Berserkers’ Legion to the apex of the Third Order.”
The strength of one point was about the same as that of an ordinary adult in his previous life, and could lift fifty kilograms of heavy objects.
According to Richard’s estimation, with a strength of 6.7, he could already easily lift 300 kilograms, based on the strength attribute alone, Richard was a bit stronger than even the Blue Star Weightlifting Champion in his previous life.
With 2.3 agility, the running speed was quite faster than even Bolt, and with 3.5 stamina, he could make this explosive speed last for 2000 meters away.
In terms of physical quality, Richard was already like a small superhero.
But on top of the Morning Glory Continent, Richard was still just a High Warrior Cadet, and had yet to open his Seed of Life and complete his Professional Advancement.
Six years ago, the original owner of this body was possessed by a demon.
After the priests of the Morning Sun Church expelled the demon, Yang Rui, a soul from the Blue Planet, occupied this body and came to this world in ignorance.
This is a world where transcendent powers exist and a world with low productivity.
It was only through subsequent studies that Richard slowly realized that the microscopic particles of this world were different from the Blue Star universe.
There was a special kind of microscopic particle in the material world, which was named Magic Factor and was the root of transcendent power.
Under the influence of the magic factor, the physics, chemistry, and biology of the Morning Glory realm were all slightly different from the Blue Star.
The scientific experience on the Blue Planet could not be directly transferred to the Morning Glory Realm.
For example, Richard prepared black powder according to the proportion, but it didn’t explode successfully.
This dimension explosion may require the involvement of a magic factor. Richard had heard that there were magic bombs in the Morning Glory Continent, the power of which exceeded even large caliber artillery shells by one step.
According to Richard’s observation, this world likewise had stars, planets, and moons.
There were twelve months in a year, thirty days in a month, and twenty-four hours in a day.
The strange thing is that every year, every month, every day is very accurate, running for many years surprisingly do not need to revise the calendar.
What’s even stranger is that the stars are almost invisible in the night sky of this world. It looks like it should be another cosmic space.
After the failure of making gunpowder and his confidence was shattered, Richard started to learn the knowledge of this world and carefully integrated into this world.
This world has a recorded history of more than three thousand years, and has not developed the science of the Earth in the previous world.
There were no signs of an industrial revolution, and the wars between the major kingdoms were still dominated by cold weapons, and a powerful Legendary Professional could usually decide whether a war was won or lost. As long as one could become a high-ranking professional, the royal families of the Morning Glory Continent would not begrudge the rewarding of their knighthoods.
If you can make a war achievement for the kingdom, you can leap up to become a hereditary noble, realizing a leap in class.
Richard’s origin was not very high, his ancestors did not have noble blood.
His father, William, was a freeman hunter who saved a noble officer of the Northern Legion during the orc invasion war twenty-three years ago.
During the war, William salted his way back to the top, first saving the noble officer to expand his network, then picking up a copy of the Breath of the Wild Lion Legion from the corpse of a low-ranking officer. After the war, he joined the Northern Legion and successfully opened the Seed of Life, growing into a powerful professional.
Although William did not have a title yet, he had already served as the brigade commander of the 6th brigade of the Northland Legion, which was considered a heavyweight officer in the Northland Legion. Even if he was placed in Black River Fortress, the heavy land of the North, the size of it would be considered a character.
Breathing method is not the sooner you learn the better, if the physical quality is not enough, forced to learn the light is damage to the body, the heavy will be life-threatening.
Grant Kingdom in the major legions, usually to wait for the soldiers adult, the body is completely stereotyped, after the preliminary training, military service through the test. Only then will give the breathing method, professional training.
William was gifted, and when he reached adulthood, he was a famous Hercules in Wright County, and before he practiced the breathing method, he was a little stronger than even a first-order warrior.
Richard inherited part of his father’s talent, and at the age of thirteen he had the same strength as an ordinary adult, and at the age of fourteen he began his breathing method training.
In less than two years, Richard had practiced the Apprentice Third Level Berserker Legion Breathing Method to its limit.
“It’s a pity that the Berserk Lion Legion Breathing Technique my father got was crippled, or else I would have broken through to become a professional soon.
Father switched to the Morning Glory Breathing Method to become a Professional, and it’s said that it’s very dangerous to do so. If I want to successfully advance as a professional, I still need to join the Mad Lion Legion as soon as possible, get the follow-up technique of the Mad Lion Breathing Method, and advance step by step, so that my subsequent cultivation will go a little smoother.”
There were a total of thirteen legions in the northern defense line of Grant Kingdom combined.
These legions varied in strength and weakness and were roughly categorized into three types.
The first was the five legions under the central jurisdiction. Among these five legions, the Northern Legion, the Wild Lion Legion, and the Grizzly Bear Legion are the main legions of Grant Kingdom, and their strength is second to none in Grant Kingdom, and their combat power is extraordinary.
Due to the threat of the orcs in the north, three of the seven main legions of the kingdom are stationed in the north all year round.
The kingdom’s military force, stationed in the northern border accounted for almost half.
These three major legions were also the most powerful military forces in the North Realm. The remaining two central legions had average combat power, and were no match for the four dukes’ direct legions in the North.
In addition to the five centralized direct legions and the four ducal direct legions, there were also four noble coalition legions in the North Realm.
The strength of these four noble legions was not bad, but unfortunately, their hearts were not united and their power was scattered, so they had weak power, but their performance on the battlefield was average.
