Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms

However, relying solely on his own understanding, he was unable to see the secret of Luo Xuan's breathing method.

He couldn't help but start the spiritual burning.

In an instant, I entered a state of calm and focused mind.

All complicated thoughts are gone.

His attention was completely focused on Luo Xuan.

The amplitude, frequency and intensity of chest and abdominal expansion and contraction.

The degree of neck straightening and the angle of face tilting upward.

Skin vibration velocity at the neck corresponding to the vocal cords

When coordinating with the breathing, the last posture is similar to the "Crane Dance", but with slightly different body movements.

The rhythm and volume of the clear sound like the cry of a crane.

Unconsciously, Zhou Yan put the clothes in his hands aside and subconsciously began to imitate Luo Xuan and strike a similar posture.

In his current state, his learning ability was amazing, and he quickly learned Luo Xuan's external movements almost exactly.

So, he naturally began to imitate Luo Xuan's breathing method.

By deliberately contracting and expanding the chest and abdomen, the interaction between the air and oneself is changed from conventional breathing to other modes.

Then, it is a matter of constant revision.

Adjust your movements, adjust your breathing, adjust your details

Luo Xuan, who was concentrating on practicing, opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Zhou Yan who was concentrating on imitating her.

Her face was calm and she closed her eyes silently again.

Isn't it perfectly normal for students at the sword gym to see the gym owner practicing martial arts?

As for whether it will lead to the leakage of the "breathing method"?

The so-called core secret method can be learned by imitation if someone can just watch with their eyes.

Can that still be called a secret method?

On the other hand, if a person can learn the "secret method" just by "watching".

That proves that he is extremely gifted. Any master would be eager to have such a genius, so how could he refuse to learn from him?

Thinking in this way, Luo Xuan once again entered a state of concentrating on practicing breathing techniques.

Yoshihisa

"Chirp."

The talented girl who was practicing suddenly opened her eyes.

She turned in surprise and looked at Zhou Yan who was standing in the corner of the martial arts hall.

At this moment, Zhou Yan was posing in an almost identical posture to hers, standing still like a crane calling to the sky.

His chest and abdomen expanded and shrank in a strange manner, and his body moved in tiny rhythms with some mysterious charm.

The air interacts quickly with his body due to his special breathing method.

When it passed over the vocal cords, it naturally caused a wonderful vibration.

Sounds like the chirping of birds came out of his mouth.

After confirming Zhou Yan's condition, the girl's eyes became even more surprised.

'Is this the chirping stage?'

She confirmed Zhou Yan's breathing posture again and again in disbelief.

Finally I have to admit that the chirping sound was very weak and light.

But this guy Zhou Yan has actually reached the threshold of breathing technique!

The so-called "Crane's Cry Breathing Method" certainly does not mean that one can make a sound like a crane's cry through breathing as soon as one starts practicing it.

It is divided into several stages.

In the entry-level stage, the practitioner's breath is not yet perfect, and the body cannot withstand the strong airflow resonance, so the sound produced is a "chirp" sound like a bird.

In the standard stage, as the practitioner's control over breath becomes stronger, the body can withstand stronger breath vibrations under the tempering of breathing techniques. The sound emitted at this time is like the "hundred sounds" of many birds superimposed together.

Only when one reaches the stage of proficiency or even mastery can one make a clear and crisp sound like the cry of a crane like her.

As for the higher-level secret techniques, one needs to truly become a "core elite" recognized by the Suzaku Palace before one can apply to practice from the "Lihuo Pavilion", the higher-level institution of the sword hall.

Even for the owner of a sword gym, only the best among them can practice it.

Although she also knew this more advanced secret method because of her father, she was unable to practice it in her daily life due to her lack of physical strength.

We will leave the further matters aside for now.

Luo Xuan turned his attention back to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan's talent was so amazing. Just by watching and imitating, he actually grasped some of the mysteries of the breathing method.

If she really taught him the tricks of breathing, how well would he be able to master it?

Should such a genius be reported to the Lihuo Pavilion in Yicheng, which governs her sword hall?

Luo Xuan's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but think of her father's fate.

There was a moment of silence.

Chapter 33 Effects and Supplements

After Zhou Yan activated his spiritual burning, he had an extremely high level of comprehension in a state as clear as a mirror and still water.

He imitated Luo Xuan's posture and updated and corrected the details at a very fast speed.

Finally, when I adjusted the frequency of my breath one time, I suddenly felt something unusual—

As the airflow interacted with his body, his vocal cords, passed by the breath, naturally made the sound of a bird chirping.

At the same time, a very special tremor occurred in the muscles all over his body.

Zhou Yan immediately seized this crucial moment and completely immersed himself in the practice of this "simple version of breathing method" that he had learned through imitation.

The muscles all over his body were vibrating in a continuous cycle, as if they were constantly being trained by some highly efficient method.

This efficient training process allows his muscles to quickly become stronger and more powerful.

【Crane's Li Breathing Method (Beginner's Guide)】

After a long time, a line of information appeared in front of Zhou Yan.

He paused slightly and quickly turned off the state of spiritual burning.

When he opened his left eye, he saw Luo Xuan standing very close to him.

The girl was less than a foot away from him, her pair of cold sword-like eyes lowered as she stared at his chest and abdomen, observing every detail of his breathing.

Zhou Yan's breath stagnated, and he could no longer maintain his breathing method, so it was interrupted.

Seeing this, Luo Xuan looked up at Zhou Yan and said calmly, "If you learn the breathing method by yourself in the wrong direction, it will do more harm than good to your body."

She paused, and before Zhou Yan could speak, she continued, "But it looks like you've found the right direction."

As they were talking, Luo Xuan seemed to realize that the two of them were a little too close. She turned her face slightly away, still maintaining a calm tone, as if talking to herself: "According to the regulations of the Suzaku Palace, the breathing method is a relatively core and true secret method. If the sword hall wants to teach it to students, it must report it to the Lihuo Pavilion in advance for filing, and let the students pass the Lihuo Pavilion's qualification assessment."

After that, she turned and walked towards the back door of the dojo. As she walked, she said calmly, "I'm afraid it's difficult for you to pass the test now. If you are found to have secretly learned the breathing method, you will not only be investigated by the Lihuo Pavilion, but also implicate the relevant sword halls. You will be held responsible in the future."

"Be careful."

After saying that, she left the martial arts hall.

Zhou Yan watched Luo Xuan leave.

Then, he took a deep breath and understood what the girl meant - you can learn it secretly, but don't show it in front of outsiders to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

It might even lead to the sword gym being punished.

This is something Zhou Yan absolutely cannot accept.

The two sisters, one innocent and cute, the other cold but kind-hearted, took him in. If they still got into trouble because of him, then he would be a real inhuman.

"From now on, I can only practice in my own little room. Maybe, I can practice with Luo Xuan when she practices at night."

"Also, get stronger as quickly as possible until you can pass the 'assessment' that Luo Xuan mentioned."

Zhou Yan whispered to himself, then looked up at the clock.

It's almost ten o'clock in the evening.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

Had he learned the breathing technique for so long without realizing it?

Cultivation is indeed addictive.

So, are there any results?

Zhou Yan couldn't help but look at his personal panel and soon found something different.

[Attributes: Physical strength 9, Agility 9, Spirit 11]

[Skills: Nanming Sword (proficient), Crane Breathing Method (beginner)]

Physical strength has increased a little!

The effect of that breathing method is so obvious. Has it really improved his physical fitness in just a short period of time?

Zhou Yan's expression gradually calmed down.

No wonder the masters of this world can break through the limits of the human body and exert such terrifying combat power.

With the existence of this secret technique, everything makes sense.

Zhou Yan shook his head, picked up his clothes again and walked into the public bathroom.

*

Walking into the bathroom, Zhou Yan went under the shower and turned on the water to rinse his body, but after just a few seconds, he felt something was wrong.

My whole body felt sore and weak, and there was a vague feeling of emptiness coming from deep inside my body.

So hungry...

It was as if countless cells in his body were conveying to him the message that he needed energy and nutrition.

Zhou Yan frowned and quickly thought about the reason for the current situation.

Is it because of walking in the realm of disaster?

No, I didn’t encounter such a situation the last time I walked out.

That is... breathing method?

He recalled that he had gained some strength, and seemed to have realized something.

Obviously, the human body is not a life-enhancing equipment and cannot obtain additional attribute bonuses by absorbing rune factors.

As his body becomes stronger, it must consume something.

In the gym, people eat more meat, eggs, milk, and drink protein powder to build muscles, and some even inject banned drugs.

The breathing method made the body stronger, but it also naturally consumed the nutrients and energy of his body.

After figuring out the reason, Zhou Yan came up with an idea.

He quickly took a shower and walked out of the bathroom, then went back to his room to change into clothes for going out.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw someone I didn't expect.

"Xiao Xuan?"

Zhou Yan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and greeted her in confusion.

But Luo Xuan handed something over: "This, drink it."
