Pirate's opening to capture the fluttering fruit

Chapter 38 Memories of the Past ([-]) Breathing

"Hohohoho, it's good to have confidence, but it's not that simple this time, have you seen it?!" Old Hall smiled, pointing to a spot next to the sword-making furnace not far away. A large bundle of iron rods raised his mouth amid Elvis' throat gurgling, and said with a smile:
"That's right, it's exactly as you thought. There are thirty iron rods in total. You need to help me temper them together. Just like what I taught you, the strength of each falling hammer must be precise, and each work after it is released must be perfect. Up to the standard, are you confident to complete it? Elvis!!"

"Yes~" At this time, his tone was no longer as firm as before, because he knew the character of old Hall,

Once there are unqualified ones, they must be pulled back and redone, and now he is demanding to meet the standards perfectly. The time and energy spent in this is immeasurable.

……

For three days in a row, Elvis finally completed the test given to him by the old Hall, but the short, but incomparably lean body also revealed deep fatigue, and he didn't even want to move. Do you hold on because you want to see how your test results are? !
"Hohohoho, it's really possible, Elvis, I didn't expect you to successfully complete the assessment task that the old man gave you. Not bad, not bad. This time the old man still gave you an excellent evaluation, but you can Don't let this slack off..."

Old Hall's words gradually became weaker in Elvis' ears. After hearing the evaluation of the excellent completion, the exhaustion in his body could no longer be sustained, and a large wave of them all flooded into his mind and heart, making his eyelids Slowly closing down, the whole person also leaned back, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Uh... ho ho ho ho, as expected, I'm still a child, and I can't bear these tasks compared to adults, so it's no wonder you... Little, no, Elvis!!" From the old Hall to his Judging from the title, it really represented his recognition of Elvis.

……

At noon the next day, Elvis finally woke up from three days of sleeplessness.

At this time, Old Hall had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him.

……

When Elvis arrived, it was still the familiar table, similar dishes, and familiar sitting posture. Seeing Elvis coming, Old Hall just raised his head and glanced at him, then looked away .

"Come on, sit down!!"

"Yeah!" Elvis nodded, took a few steps, pulled out the chair and sat down.

"About the content of your previous six-month assessment, you already knew it yesterday!! The next thing I want to tell you is what you will do in the next period of time..." Old Hall stood opposite him , clasped his hands together on his chin, and looked closely at Ulysses with scrutiny and said.

"Well, old man, just say it, what else, I can sustain it, just do it..." Elvis has already enjoyed the fruits of his hard work in the past six months, and his strength is stronger than before. He has improved a lot, even if there are dozens or hundreds of him standing in front of him, he can easily defeat him. In order to become stronger, he patted his chest and said, regardless of how hard and tiring the next training will be.

"Really?! Then you don't have to suffer as much as before, because next I will teach you a thing that is precious in this sea... the road to the strong... the mysterious breathing method! !" At this time, Old Hall's voice seemed a little dull, and his face was extremely serious.

"Breathing method?!" Hearing these words, combined with his attitude, Elvis felt that this might be an unparalleled opportunity for him.

Putting away his astonished expression, Elvis cast a curious and questioning look at him.

"That's right, it's the breathing method. Do you know, Elvis, how many people are there in this sea?! And how many people are really considered strong?!" Old Hall nodded. Nodding, then asked.

"This..." Ulysses didn't understand much about this, he thought for a while and then shook his head, without answering, he cast his gaze over to listen to the other party's answer.

"30 billion, 30 billion people, even in this turbulent sea, people die every moment, or die naturally, or are robbed by pirates, or riots and revolutions, etc...

But it still has a population of no less than 30 billion, of which no more than [-] people can be crowned as truly strong, and among them, those who stand at the top can be counted with two hands...

And what I want to teach you today is a key to the path to the strong, if the aptitude and perseverance are enough, it is not impossible for even the top ten strong men among them..." Old Huo Er was talking, his eyes became extremely deep, and at this moment, a wisp of breath was inadvertently emanating from his body, but it made Elvis, who was so strong, feel his whole body explode. Such a terrifying and powerful aura that he couldn't even think of making a move.

"..." Old Hall was talking on the side, but he didn't realize that he inadvertently leaked a breath, which made Elvis on the opposite side restless and his teeth were chattering. did not see.

"Well, I'm sorry, the old man was rude..." After finally finishing his speech, Old Hall finally realized the abnormality of Ulysses on the opposite side, and then he reacted, put away the breath, and opened his mouth to laugh.

"It doesn't matter. Compared with this, I am more concerned about another matter. Your strength is also due to the effect of the breathing method you mentioned, right?!"

"Oh!! You feel it too!!

That's right, the strength of the old man is indeed due to that mysterious breathing method. With the strength of the old man at this moment, even among the hundreds of strong men, he can fight him one or two. "

"Really?! Then I want to learn it, please teach it to me, old man!!" Here, when Old Hall wanted to continue explaining, he was interrupted by Elvis, and this At that time, Elvis behaved a little out of control. He stood up excitedly, pressed his hands on the table, stared in his cute big eyes, and looked at old Hall with a glow.

"Well, I see, you sit down first, the old man didn't say no to teach you, listen to the old man first, and then make a decision, okay?!" Old Hall could understand Elvis' mood at the moment, and waved his hand to him He sat down and said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hall, I lost my composure!!" After being reminded by him, Elvis realized that his behavior was a bit out of control, and sat down embarrassingly.

"Well, the old man just told you the efficacy of this breathing method, but he hasn't told you the disadvantages yet!!"

"Disadvantages?! Does this breathing method have a bad side?!"

"Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Nothing is perfect, even the mysterious and powerful breathing method that the old man said..."

"Then, old man, tell me, what are the disadvantages of this breathing method?!"

"The disadvantage is naturally..."

"yes……?!"

"It's...the bottleneck. Generally speaking, even a talented and amazing person who practices this breathing method can't get rid of that cursed bottleneck...

Unless it is a coincidence, it can only take a long time to slowly wear it down and break it, this is the case with the old man, and I used to be..." As he preached, the old Hall fell into the memory, and it seemed to appear in his mind. Out of the youthful glory, the figures that were only seen in the legend passed by one by one.

"..." On the opposite side of him, after listening to Old Hall's words, Elvis fell into deep thought.

He didn't know whether he should trade the momentary brilliance for the future brilliance.
