Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan realized that this couldn't continue, so with a thought, the pain gradually subsided, transferred to his "Second Self."

The "Second Self" could bear both harm and pain, but this time, he only shifted the pain.

Because he knew that the harm from the medicinal power might be the direct source of stimulation. Without any harm, he wouldn't achieve the purpose of the medicinal power's penetration.

But this was enough. Without the interference of pain, he could concentrate on the breathing technique.

Yu Gang watched calmly from the side.

He had anticipated that Chen Chuan's breathing would become chaotic from the start. Basically, everyone who started trying the breathing technique had this reaction. If they couldn't bear it and couldn't continue normally, he would step forward in time to stop it, and then use patting and rinsing to dissolve the accumulated medicinal power, and wait for the next attempt. Otherwise, the body would only be damaged in vain.

He didn't expect Chen Chuan to succeed once, because he knew very well that people were in great pain under the stimulation of medicinal power, especially when they came into contact with it for the first time. Very few people could withstand it.

Generally speaking, people with strong willpower would have to try two or three times to adapt and be able to proceed relatively normally. A few more times wouldn't be surprising, but more often, they couldn't bear the torment and gave up halfway.

But soon, a change appeared in his originally calm expression, because only half a minute later, Chen Chuan's breathing stabilized.

He stared at Chen Chuan. This kid was not simple.

At this moment, Chen Chuan was carefully guiding his breathing, but after two consecutive attempts, he couldn't find any secrets, any meridians, any aura. He was completely clueless.

Due to the gradual dissipation of the medicinal power, there wasn't enough time left to complete the third attempt. In order to avoid leaving hidden dangers, he simply let the "Second Self" bear the damage to the body during the process.

This also led to dense, uneven virtualizations appearing on the "Second Self", like many misty holes. When he saw this scene, his heart stirred, and he suddenly had an idea…

"Alright, let's stop here for now," Yu Gang said at this time. "Time is almost up."

Chen Chuan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Yu, can we continue later?"

Yu Gang looked at him, not only did he not show any resistance or rejection, but there was also a hint of eagerness in his expression. He was silent for a while before saying, "Go to the bathroom next door to rinse off and rest for half an hour."

Chen Chuan responded, picked up the large glass of salt water Yu Gang had prepared for him on the table, and went to the bathroom next door, turning on the simple shower to rinse off.

At this time, he felt very hungry. After all, he hadn't had lunch yet, and the breathing technique stimulated vitality and mobilized Qi and blood, which consumed a lot of the body. So after rinsing off, he asked, "Mr. Yu, is there anything to eat here?"

Yu Gang had prepared it in advance, throwing him a sealed box about two fingers wide and fifteen centimeters long, saying, "Longde Food's nutrient paste. Although it doesn't taste like much, it has all the necessary nutrients for combat training. If you go to Wuda, you will have to eat this every day."

Chen Chuan tore open the outer packaging and saw a whole strip of green ointment inside. He didn't dislike it and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. It really didn't taste like much, but after a while, he felt like his whole spirit had returned, and he didn't feel so hungry anymore. The effect was immediate.

After resting for another ten minutes, he re-applied the ointment with Yu Gang's help and made a second attempt.

This time he had experience. When he felt the burning sensation all over his body again, he immediately used his consciousness to transfer the pain and a small part of the damage away. And when using the breathing technique, he also looked at the "Second Self". It could be seen that with the progress of the breathing technique, different degrees of virtualization appeared there again.

He observed carefully and could confirm that these virtualized manifestations were closely related to his breathing.

The degree of virtualization in those parts fluctuated, intermittently. It should be because the breathing guided vitality and Qi and blood. The pure medicinal power would not manifest so complicatedly.

But through these, he also directly saw the effect of the breathing technique. Currently, because the guidance of the breathing technique was not in place, these Qi, blood, and vitality were scattered in a chaotic manner when mobilized. Could it be assumed that when these virtualized parts no longer showed strong and weak distinctions, became connected smoothly, and tended to be consistent with each other, he could achieve what Yu Gang said was a whole?

He felt that this was very possible, and he could try it when he couldn't find a clue. Even if he was wrong, he could remove the damage through the "Second Self." So next, he began to consciously adjust his breathing rhythm based on the virtualized performance on the "Second Self."

Half an hour later, he had to stop again. Although he was a little tired and his breathing was slightly rapid, he was very excited because he felt that he had vaguely touched a bit of the edge, and he might be on the right path!

Yu Gang looked at him, and the mixture of sweat and ointment flowing down his feet, and said, "Even with restorative medicinal food, a person can only try three to four times a day at most. Do you want to continue?"

Chen Chuan said very firmly, "Continue!"

After rinsing and resting, he immediately began his third attempt.

Under his repeated efforts to adjust, those virtualized traces finally gradually converged, as if they were connected to each other. At this time, he also slowly felt something, but just when he was about to grasp that clue, the duration of the medicinal power came to an end again.

That could only wait for the next time.

Only this time, when he stood up, he suddenly felt a burst of weakness, his head dizzy, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, and fell back down. Even if the pain and a small part of the damage were moved away, the remaining drug stimulation still existed.

Seeing him like this, Yu Gang said, "Let's stop here today. The training of the breathing technique, the lifting of Qi and blood, and the stimulation of drugs will put a heavy burden on your internal organs."

Chen Chuan raised his head and said, "Mr. Yu said that a person can try up to four times. I want to try one more time."

Yu Gang met his gaze and felt the determination not to back down, and said in a deep voice, "Since you insist, then try one last time."

Chen Chuan went to rinse off as usual, and after returning, he ate two more nutrient pastes. After resting, he started his fourth attempt.

He believed that he had found the right direction. The damage presented on the "Second Self" was equivalent to a correcting ruler, allowing him to constantly approach the correct location.

This time, he would go all out.

Yu Gang stared at Chen Chuan. The damage from the ointment was extremely great, not only physically, but also psychologically. When a person encounters repeated double destruction, how many can persist?

Four attempts were only theoretical. Generally, people couldn't help but give up after one or two times at most. He didn't expect Chen Chuan to persist to this point.

Lu Ke ran up again after cooking the meat. When he saw Chen Chuan desperately trying again and again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He had tried the breathing technique once at the beginning of the year, and he would never forget that feeling.

At first, it was just a burning sting, but later, it was like countless ants crawling under the skin. A kind of indescribable irritability would arise in the heart, making people want to shout, jump up, and wave their fists and feet.

Because he couldn't bear it after several attempts, Yu Gang believed that he was not ready yet, so he temporarily interrupted this practice.

At this time, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Master, can Young Master Chen do it?"

Yu Gang said, "Combat training has six elements: goal, determination, action, perseverance, as well as luck and talent. I initially confirmed his goal and determination, and now I see his action and perseverance. He already has four of them."

Lu Ke oh-ed. He didn't look at Yu Gang, but just asked, "Then Master, Young Master Chen has four points. Should he be able to find the trick soon?"

Yu Gang said in a deep voice, "No, among the six elements, the most difficult to have is talent, and the most indispensable is actually luck."

At this moment, Chen Chuan's whole body and mind were completely focused on breathing, and he had almost no perception of external information.

Just a little bit, just a little bit more.

Under his efforts, the correction of the breathing technique had reached the final stage, and when all the flashing lights gradually became consistent, he felt the existence of a hidden aura. He couldn't tell what it was, but it seemed that along this path, the originally separate and scattered aura was gathered together.

In an instant, he finally understood what Yu Gang meant by the whole.

At this time, the medicinal power was almost over, and he also stopped.

Yu Gang watched him sitting there motionless, only his body rising and falling slightly with his breathing, and said, "Don't worry, you must eat some restorative medicinal food first, and continue trying tomorrow."

Chen Chuan slowly raised his head, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "I think, I seem to have found the trick."
