Chapter 12

4, Breakthrough of the Sun Breathing Method (4/10)

After getting those ragged fishing nets from Uncle Brian's fish shop, Luo En scampered off to a pond in the mountain forest.

He found a long wooden stick, then wrapped the good parts of the fishing net around it with wire, and a fish-catching tool was done.

"Hehe, although this thing can't be used to fish in the sea, in this little river, it's no problem."

Luo En said happily.

He immediately tested it out in the river.

Although it wasn't very easy to use, there wasn't much of a problem either.

As long as his eyes were accurate and his hands were quick, he could precisely catch those river fish leisurely swimming underwater.

In no time, Luo En had caught five or six.

"Now the meat problem is solved too."

Luo En ate the grilled fish, his face full of joy.

……

Now with a large supply of fish meat, Luo En trained even more desperately.

Under such training pushed to the limit, along with the full supplementation of abundant meat nutrition.

The changes in Luo En's body became more and more obvious.

His bones began to develop, his muscles began to grow.

In just one month, he had rapidly shot up ten centimeters, five centimeters taller than Ma Ersi, who was a year older than him.

…………

Such days continued for another full month.

This day.

It wasn't even light yet.

Luo En got dressed, leapt down from the house window, landed nimbly on the grass with practiced ease, then left the mountain cabin and headed into the forest.

"Fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three…"

Luo En was doing one-armed push-ups with one hand; even at fifty-something, his expression remained composed, handling it with ease.

After finishing one hundred and fifty one-armed push-ups.

The system's voice rang in the ears of Luo En, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass with steam rising from his whole body.

【Reminder to Host: Qi and Blood Value has reached 30.】

"It's already 30?"

Luo En was slightly surprised, and opened the attribute panel to take a look.

【Host: Luo En.

Age: 8 years old.

Qi and Blood Value: 30.

Sun Breathing Mastery: 0% (Not Mastered).】

Luo En closed his eyes, the full content of the Sun Breathing Method surfaced in his mind, and his breathing began to change.

Exhale…………

One breath seemed to expel all the air from his body.

Inhale…………

One breath seemed infinitely long, instantly filling his entire body.

Within his body, it transformed into a scorching storm, igniting the qi and blood throughout his whole body!

The qi and blood throughout his body began to boil and surge, like fiery dragons, incomparably hot and freed from their reins, rushing toward his bones, flesh, and skin.

"Mm…"

Luo En frowned slightly, letting out a muffled grunt, but still persevered.

He continued to circulate this Sun Breathing Method, hailed as the primordial breath; thick, dense white steam rose from his body.

If anyone were present at this moment, they would feel the astonishing heat radiating from Luo En's entire body.

When Luo En opened his eyes, he felt the world before him had never been so clear, and his whole body had never felt so comfortable and relaxed.

"So this is the Sun Breathing Method…"

Luo En looked at his own palm.

After cultivating the Sun Breathing Method for the first time, his greatest feeling was.

He seemed to have learned how to use his own strength.

【Host: Luo En.

Age: 8 years old.

Qi and Blood Value: 30.

Sun Breathing Method Mastery: 1%.】

………………

Summer departed, autumn arrived, and winter came.

Aunt Mary once again fretted over the children's winter clothing, sighing all day long.

Old Man Harris also went out earlier and came back later than before.

The visits from Uncle Brian, whom the children had been looking forward to, also became fewer and fewer.

Winter arrived, and pirates and bandits 'visited' the town even more frequently, making life difficult for everyone on the small island.

On this day, dark clouds hung heavy.

Within the mountain forest.

The cold wind howled.

A thinly-dressed black-haired little boy stood in an empty clearing, eyes closed, gripping a wooden stick in his hand.

"Hoo—"

He drew in a long breath.

His eyes snapped open.

He stepped forward.

"Sun Breathing, First Form, Flame Dance!"

The black-haired boy used the stick as a blade and struck out with a sword technique.

The wooden stick in his hand was instantly incinerated.

A ring of arcing flames slashed outward from around his body, vanishing in an instant, but leaving on the grass a series of concentric, spiraling scorch marks, the largest ring reaching a radius of three meters.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo…"

Bracing his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, his face pale, yet his bright eyes were full of exhilaration.

"I did it!"

Five months had passed since the day he mastered Sun Breathing.

During those five months, he had risen at four every morning to train, returning at dusk, and no matter whether eating, walking, or sleeping, he had kept Sun Breathing circulating every single moment.

Such extreme training had continued without a break for five whole months.

Luo En had finally managed to perform the first-form slash of Sun Breathing, 'Flame Dance'.

Luo En circulated Sun Breathing, and in just a few moments his stamina had fully recovered.

He stood straight, looked at the marks on the ground with satisfaction, and said: "At last there's some result."

"System, display my current attributes."

【Okay.】

【Host: Luo En

Age: 8 years old.

Qi and Blood Value: 87.

Sun Breathing Mastery: 7%.】

Since the System had been activated.

In just half a year.

Luo En had grown tremendously.
