Chapter 201: Breathing Technique (Please vote)

"Deer-Headed Spirit... interesting, interesting!"

Fang Xing looked at the Deer-Headed Spirit, touching it here and there, looking like he couldn't wait to study it.

Woll and Sophia on the carriage were already stunned.

Especially Woll!

He was someone who deeply knew the terror of the Deer-Headed Spirit.

As a result, this Deer-Headed Spirit was actually unable to move under a circle of golden light, being studied over and over again?

Moreover, that aged head from before also made him care.

"That Sadu voodoo priest?"

Woll stepped forward and asked.

"He's already dead... if he had only driven the Deer-Headed Spirit over, I wouldn't have had a very good way... but that fool actually used a ritual to temporarily merge himself with the Deer-Headed Spirit in order to achieve a better manipulation effect... then don't blame me for following the connection back to hit him."

Fang Xing shook his head.

"This Deer-Headed Spirit... you only temporarily bound it... if there were a divine priest here, it would be great... divine priests are the most skilled at sealing spirits."

Woll sighed: "If the Deer-Headed Spirit is left alone, I'm afraid it will keep wandering in this area, bringing trouble to travelers..."

"Don't worry so much."

Fang Xing touched the center of his brow, and the Great Sun Relic turned into a radiance, completely shrouding the Deer-Headed Spirit.

Then... a flash of radiance.

The original Deer-Headed Spirit disappeared without a trace.

"Sealed? No..."

Woll looked at Fang Xing, his expression suddenly becoming very strange: "You... could you be a Saint Son of the Radiant Church?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Sophia's cheeks on the side turned somewhat crimson.

As everyone knows, there are many Saintesses in the Radiant Church, but there is only one Saint Son, and the position is often vacant; he is regarded as the incarnation of God on earth.

If she were selected as a Saintess, her greatest duty would be to serve the Saint Son well.

"I have nothing to do with the Radiant Church."

Fang Xing shook his head: "Where are we going now? Duncan City?"

"Forget it, let's just go straight to the City of Gold."

Woll looked at Sophia: "This noble lady, what is your opinion?"

"I agree... but I might need to send a letter to explain the situation to my family."

Sophia hesitated.

The carriage continued its journey.

Fang Xing and Woll sat in the position of the coachman.

This time, Woll seemed to have let go of much of his vigilance toward him: "Outsider... your talent, no, you are blessed by God, naturally close to the Radiance... you should go to the Radiant Church."

"Ahem, no need to talk about that... can you show me your knight cultivation technique?"

Fang Xing coughed and said.

"Sure!"

After Woll pondered for a while, he suddenly smiled: "The knight technique I practice starts with a breathing technique; although the outside world calls it the 'Cross Breathing Technique,' in reality, within the Church, it is generally called the 'Saint Longinus Breathing Technique'..."

"Saint Longinus? Is this perhaps a saint of the Church?" Fang Xing asked.

"Yes, this saint was active during the collapse of the Radiant Empire and is the founder of the Church's Knight Order..."

Woll's voice was solemn as he introduced the life of Saint Longinus: "After completing God's mission, he became a saint and has always been by God's side..."

"So, the saints of the Radiant Church haven't died?" Fang Xing heard a bit of subtext.

"How could a saint die?" Woll shook his head, as if stating a very ordinary fact.

"Alright, back to the Saint Longinus Breathing Technique... it includes a series of movements, as well as medicine and meditation... it is divided into four major levels: Faint Light, Initial Light, Dawn, and Pride of the Sun!"

"Being able to perceive the breathing technique and condense a seed of battle energy means entering the 'Faint Light' realm... cultivating battle energy to be strong and shrouding the whole body is 'Initial Light'... I am currently at this realm, so I don't know much about what the 'Dawn' and 'Pride of the Sun' states are like, but a Great Knight who can enter the 'Dawn' realm should only be our former commander..."

Woll sighed, as if reminiscing, and also as if mourning: "Except for that Saint Longinus... no one has practiced this breathing technique to the 'Pride of the Sun' realm."

"You're teaching it all to me just like that?"

Fang Xing was somewhat surprised listening to Woll's explanation; clearly, this person had been firmly unwilling before.

"Your knight level is higher than mine... far too high."

Woll shook his head and smiled: "Even if you master another breathing technique, it's just a burden, not a gain..."

In fact, in his heart, he was still shocked by that radiance: "Could it be... is this God's guidance? The Radiance has passed away, the Radiance is coming again... ever since I left the Knight Order, everything has been God's arrangement?"

A few days later.

"I just feel like it's all inexplicable..."

Fang Xing traveled with Woll and Sophia, feeling that both of them were a bit strange.

But he didn't care about that much.

The key was that after Woll's explanation and personal demonstration, he finally had a complete understanding of the Saint Longinus Breathing Technique and could begin practicing it.

But a strange thing happened.

In the following days, even though Fang Xing had been pondering it with all his heart, he still couldn't get this breathing technique to enter the introductory stage!

You have to know, he wasn't some young man who didn't understand anything, but a Martial Dao Jin Dan!

With his physique, blood energy, and spirit... theoretically, there was no martial art that could stump him.

Unless... this wasn't a martial art at all!

On the road.

The carriage moved forward steadily.

"Practicing a breathing technique is not a matter of one day or one night; I was a knight apprentice for three years, then became a squire for Knight Gerong, went through thirteen bloody battles, and finally, on one battlefield, I sublimated to the extreme and condensed my own seed of battle energy."

Woll saw Fang Xing working hard and couldn't help but comfort him.

"I'm just... thinking about a problem."

Fang Xing opened his eyes and shook his head: "Regarding the source of the breathing technique... do you think it comes from a person's physique, blood... or something else?"

"I don't understand this either; I can only talk about my own experience..."

Woll fell into deep thought: "That bloody battle was extremely tragic; I felt like I was about to become a dried-up person, but at the moment I was about to fall, I saw... light!"

"Radiance?"

Fang Xing muttered, but in his heart, he had some realization.

"Regardless of any world, one must first consider the source of the extraordinary..."

"In the main universe, power comes from technology, and the extraordinary comes from cosmic energy... in the cultivation world, the extraordinary comes from spiritual energy..."

"But this world is different; it has no spiritual energy... its extraordinary seems to be built on one thing—that is, evil deity pollution!"

He sighed, suddenly understanding why he couldn't condense a "seed of battle energy."

"This is probably not some seed of battle energy, but a source of evil deity power... it requires drawing evil deity pollution into oneself, then refining it? Subsequently... continuously absorbing evil deity pollution and refining it into one's own extraordinary power?"

"The top breathing techniques of the Church are all like this, let alone other breathing techniques..."

"Does it require drawing in a trace of evil deity pollution as a seed to enter the introductory stage?"

Fang Xing's heart stirred, and the Great Sun Relic at the center of his brow radiated boundless light and heat; within the rolling crimson, a red thread was drawn down and entered a certain position in his lower abdomen.

"The knight breathing technique still has its merits; the position where this sea of battle energy is opened is a 'sha' acupoint..."

"Although there is only one, the development of this one acupoint is ahead of the Federation..."

Under the sensing of his mental powers, this five-colored light spot instantly exploded, turning into a colorful ocean.

And within the ocean, a red thread fell, turning into a seed.

This seed resembled a crimson heart, and as the "heart" pulsed continuously, wisps of battle energy overflowed.

During this process, Fang Xing was extremely cautious, prepared to "disperse his cultivation" the moment any problem arose.

But soon he discovered that although this wisp of battle energy was violent in nature, it was easily controlled by him.

Because the evil deity pollution he chose as the "seed of battle energy" did not come from this world, but from the Great Sun Relic!

"It actually really worked?"

Fang Xing's heart stirred, and he looked at the attribute bar.

He saw that at the very bottom of the attribute bar, a new line had appeared:

【Cross Breathing Technique: 1/100 (Introductory)】

"It's entered the introductory stage!"

Not only that, Fang Xing was somewhat stunned to see that the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra flashed with light, "swallowing" the Cross Breathing Technique, which meant that the "Cross Breathing Technique" had attained the same status as the Great Sun Tathagata Palm and the Clone Technique, becoming a subordinate column of the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra.

Its highest level could not exceed the level of the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra!

"But there is an advantage to this... for example, I can directly add points to the breathing technique; after all, in my Great Sun Relic, I still have the 'Deer-Headed Spirit' as fuel."

Fang Xing opened his eyes and looked at his right hand.

At this moment, on his palm, there was suddenly a trace of sharpness.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Woll's eyes widened, feeling that his worldview had been hit.

After all, he had gone through nine deaths and one life to enter the introductory stage of the breathing technique and condense the seed of battle energy, and it had taken several years.

But now, how many days had it been for Fang Xing? He had simply and easily succeeded.

Night.

In the camp, the bonfire was burning brightly.

Fang Xing looked at Woll, who was keeping watch outside, and crawled into the tent, sitting cross-legged on his own.

"Great Sun Tathagata Mantra... add points for me!"

At the center of his brow, the Deer-Headed Spirit, which had originally been bound within the "Great Sun Furnace," screamed and turned into a torch.

Following that, threads of crimson light seeped into the "seed of battle energy" that had just been opened.

On the attribute bar, the rune representing the "Cross Breathing Technique" blurred for a moment and became—【Cross Breathing Technique: 1/100 (Proficient)】

The seed of battle energy expanded, spewing out a massive amount of battle energy, shrouding Fang Xing's entire body.

In just an instant, he broke through from the "Faint Light" of the Cross Breathing Technique to the "Initial Light" realm, able to circulate battle energy throughout his body and become a true "extraordinary existence"!
