Chapter 103: Basic Breathing Technique

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Eileen took out something, and Lu Ming and Huo Sheng looked down at it together.

They saw a booklet that resembled a martial arts secret manual, with a deep blue cover and there were five large characters in black written on a white background.

[Basic Breathing Technique]

Lu Ming:”???”

Huo Sheng:”???”

“What is this?”

The two of them asked in unison, and Eileen said, “Basic Breathing Technique.”

Hmm… Alright, Lu Ming and Huo Sheng were not illiterate, so they naturally knew that this was the Basic Breathing Technique—it was written in black and white.

Eileen added, “Chang Yi said that this was his biggest gain from the misty area.

But 1 haven’t looked at it in detail, so I don’t know much about it.”

Chang Yi did not carry this item with him. Instead, he hid it in his room.

He thought that he had hid it very well, but he did not know that Eileen had witnessed everything he did, stored it in her memory, and was just waiting for the right moment to stab him in the back.

“Apart from this, Chang Yi also has a bag of zombie crystals. Their levels are quite high.”

However, Lu Ming and Huo Sheng did not listen to this sentence. The two of them only focused their attention on this Basic Breathing Technique booklet. Huo Sheng picked up the booklet first.

As he flipped through the pages, a large block of text appeared before his eyes.

“Chinese characters.”

Huo Sheng first confirmed the font of the text before carefully looking at the relevant content in the book.

As he read, Huo Sheng’s eyes gradually lit up.

Until Huo Sheng roughly scanned through it and gave the book to Lu Ming, who then flipped through it.

He saw on the t.i.tle page it was written:

‘Origin Power, The Beginning Of The Extraordinary!’

“Origin Power?” Lu Ming muttered these two words. Huo Sheng, who was beside him, said, “Mystery factor. It can only be Mystery factor.”

Turning to the next page, the contents of the text appeared in Lu Ming’s eyes.

However, as he read, Lu Ming’s eyes gradually narrowed.

It was not until he closed the booklet that Lu Ming shook his head regretfully. “This is of no use to me…”

The so-called Basic Breathing Technique, in Lu Ming’s opinion, was a little like the inner energy in martial arts movies.

It involved meditation and using a specific breathing frequency to temper internal energy.

It sounded a bit fantastical.

But in reality, the function of this thing was easy to understand.

As everyone knew, humans relied on Mystery Factors (Source Power) to become Awakened, and Awakened also relied on Mystery Factors to level up and become stronger.

It was the same for zombies.

As for the so-called Basic Breathing Technique, it was to quickly absorb the Mystery Factors that diffused in the air through a specific breathing frequency. This allowed the ordinary people to become Awakened, and even enabled an Awakened to quickly level up.

To put it bluntly, this thing served as a subst.i.tute for the zombie crystals.

But how should Lu Ming put it…

He did not want and could not level up quickly as an Awakened; otherwise, it would delay his daily attribute farming.

In any case, this thing was very useful for others—gradually acc.u.mulating the high-level corpse crystals was always a challenge. The Basic Breathing Technique could reduce the consumption of corpse crystals to some extent. However, for Lu Ming, this thing was utterly superfluous.

Huo Sheng was fascinated by this thing.

Seeing that Lu Ming was not interested in this thing, Huo Sheng quickly put away the Basic Breathing Technique. At the same time, another question came to his mind.

“Since Chang Yi obtained such a thing, why have 1 never seen him practice it?”

The Basic Breathing Technique was very important to ordinary Awakened.

With this item, it would pave a smooth path towards higher levels.

Then why didn’t Chang Yi use it?”

At the mention of Chang Yi, Eileen immediately sneered, “That’s why 1 said that he’s sick!

He thinks that he’s invincible in Nanxiang and just wants to enjoy life. Why would he waste his energy to increase his strength?”

Hearing this, Lu Ming and Huo Sheng both sighed.

Chang Yi was born with a good apt.i.tude and good luck.

But he didn’t know how to expand his advantage and instead wasted precious time on worldly pleasures…

Lu Ming said, “I have to take this as a warning!

Stay stable and not get distracted.

Focus and persevere!

Invincible? He was just a frog in a well.”

Hearing Lu Ming’s words, Huo Sheng shrugged helplessly.

He wanted to say, Brother Lu, you don’t have to work so hard and persevere. It doesn’t matter if you relax occasionally.

But considering Lu Ming’s personality, Huo Sheng did not feel it was appropriate to say such things.

To him, Chang Yi and Lu Ming were completely two opposite extremes. However, in comparison, Huo Sheng felt that Lu Ming was more adorable. Turning to look at Eileen, Huo Sheng smiled gently, “There’s no need to say anything about the Holy Tower. 1 roughly understand everything in this aspect. Now, I’d like to have a private chat with Mr. Lu. Madam Eileen, what do you think…”

Eileen nodded and turned to leave.

When Lu Ming and Huo Sheng were the only ones left in the dining room, Huo Sheng said, “Mr. Lu, have you memorized the Basic Breathing Technique? If you haven’t, I’ll show it to you again. Then, I’ll take this original copy.”

Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he had memorized it.

In his heart, he indeed had some thoughts of just trying it out and not going too deep.

It was definitely not going to work if he practiced this thing hard. If he leveled up, it would be even more troublesome.

But having an additional skill was always a good thing. Even if he did not need it now, he would keep it and not have to scramble for it later when he needed it. After discussing this matter, Huo Sheng adjusted his gla.s.ses, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng. “The situation is actually very clear.”

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and waited for Huo Sheng to continue.

Huo Sheng began to explain tirelessly.

Chang Yi had come into contact with the Holy Tower three days ago and obtained some information from it.

Chang Yi did not keep this information hidden.

“If you want to gain more power, if you want to escape this dangerous place, you need to touch the Holy Tower.”

Coupled with Chang Yi’s experience in the Black Mist, this Basic Breathing Technique, and the various phenomena observed previously, Huo Sheng had roughly figured out the situation they were facing now.

“First of all, we can be sure that the Black Mist and the Holy Tower did not appear out of thin air. The Holy Tower, the Black Mist, and everything we’re facing right now all have a mastermind behind the scenes.”

However, who the mastermind was, or rather, what it was, remained unknown.

“Based on previous observations, the Black Mist is slowly shrinking. The danger in the Black Mist is probably a death trap for us.”

Just because Chang Yi could brave the Black Mist without trouble did not mean the Black Mist area was safe….

Chang Yi indeed had some abilities—other than Lu Ming, no one in Nanxiang could control him.

Even so, Chang Yi said that he would never dare to enter the Black Mist again. This showed how terrifying the danger in the Black Mist was.

As the Black Mist continued to contract in the future, everyone only had two choices, or rather, only two outcomes.

“First, being enveloped by the Black Mist, pa.s.sively entering the Black Mist area.

Second, break through to Level 5 as soon as possible and then come into contact with the Holy Tower to see what’s behind it.”

Holding the Basic Breathing Technique, Huo Sheng felt a lot of emotions at this moment.

Countless thoughts spun in his mind, and many speculations arose, but they were ail groundless, lacking verification.

After a moment, Huo Sheng smiled and shook his head. “But, this Basic

Breathing Technique has indeed solved a huge problem.”

Although they had found a way to turn ordinary people into Awakened individuals, the total number of zombie crystals was always a big issue.

This problem troubled all the Awakened individuals and suppressed the upper limit of all their levels. The appearance of the Basic Breathing Technique made their path ahead clear.

Speaking of this, Huo Sheng could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

“I have to hurry back and popularize this thing.”

After saying that, Huo Sheng paused for a moment and added, “And I think there are big secrets and great opportunities in the Black Mist… Mr. Lu, do you want to explore the Black Mist?”

Since Chang Yi could come out of the Black Mist alive, there was no reason why Lu Ming could not!

However…

Lu Ming’s personality…

“I don’t want to go.”

He was straightforward and decisive.

Huo Sheng’s mouth twitched.

It was really the answer he expected…
