Chapter 43 – Climbing: The Correct Way to Use the Natural Breathing Technique
Shuhai City, Wild Fox Mountain.
Among the lush mountains and forests, two figures were struggling to climb upwards.
They were a young couple wearing mountaineering clothes, looking quite dishevelled with panting breaths.
“It’s all your fault! The tour guide warned us that this path is difficult and even Level 1 Martial Artists may not be able to make it, but you insisted on going. Now you can’t climb any more … I guess we won’t even reach the top of the mountain in the dark!”
The girl among the couple stopped, reached out to hold a tree, and began to complaining to her boyfriend.
The boy scratched his head in embarrassment and defended, “I thought that since we are both Level 1 Martial Artists, we could give it a try. Who knew it would be so difficult …
But we should be near to the top of the mountain, so hang in there a little longer, my dear.”
The girl shook her head, “I don’t care, I can’t walk any more, either you carry me up, or I won’t go …”
“Stop kidding me, your BQV is higher than mine, and you want me to carry you? …”
“Who’s joking with you, are you going to carry me or not? …”
“No.”
Seeing that the conversation was about to slowly turn into an argument, the boy suddenly saw something, his expression suddenly became serious, he pointed, saying to the girl, “Look, that person!”
“Don’t try to change the topic.”
The girl said, but still looked in the direction where the boy was pointing. Only to see someone coming up the same mountain path they had taken. The person was frighteningly fast.
It took them almost an hour to walk the distance, but the person covered the same distance in a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Wherever that person passed by, the leaves and trees on both sides parted, as if a dark green wave was rushing towards them at lightning speed.
“Hiss–” The girl sucked in a breath of cold air, she looked shaken.
“Level 3, at least a Level 3 Martial Artist! He’s simply too fast! … We know how difficult it is to climb up this path. Even us, two Level 1 Martial Artists, are almost out of energy. Yet he can maintain such speed. He must have a terrifying BQV. It’s possible that he might even be a Level 4 Martial Artist!”
The boy also nodded heavily.
Both of them were official martial artists, and they had good judgement for such aspects.
Due to the steepness of the trail, the two couldn’t make out the person’s features, and the huge bag also added to the concealing effect.
But one thing is for certain. This must’ve been a senior whose achievements in martial arts far exceeded theirs, and who strength was around Level 3 or Level4.
As the silhouette continued to approach, their two faces reflected awe on them.
They had a tacit agreement to take a few steps to the sides to make way for the person coming.
Finally, the person arrived in front of the two.
Just as the person brushed past them, the two widened their eyes. It was as if they had seen something extremely incredible. They were incomparably shocked.
Swish!
The person carrying a hiking bag quickly ran past the two people and quickly moved away in the blink of an eye.
“Fuck!”
The boy couldn’t help but curse as he turned his head to look at his girlfriend.
“Am I seeing things?” He had a confused expression on him.
The girl also opened her mouth wide and looked frozen, obviously not yet recovered from the huge shock.
Just as the man had just brushed past them, they had seen it.
The person they had identified as a senior in martial arts was actually an incomparably young-looking teenager.
Looking at most seventeen or eighteen years old, even the fluff on his lips hadn’t completely faded away!
[TN: “Fluff on someone’s lips” is a phrase used to indicate someone young, and hasn’t grown facial hair.]
“So young? Level 3? Or even a Level 4 Martial Artist?!”
The guy began doubting his life.
Thinking of his own experience climbing the mountain trail that resulted in a sore back, he felt that the martial arts he had learned over ten years were all for naught.
…
“Huff-huff-huff—”
Lu Sheng passed by the young couple and dashed towards the mountain top.
His chest rose and fell rhythmically, and the interval between each breath was far longer than an ordinary person’s.
His footsteps were so fast that they were like cannonballs.
Each step could span a distance of seven or eight meters, resulting in an incomparably fast speed.
“I didn’t expect that Stellar Power could also be applied to movement technique. With the four times the Stellar Power and the absorption of a large amount of dream memories, I have reached the bottleneck in my proficiency in movement techniques. My speed is at least five times faster than a normal Level 2 Martial Artist!”
“Also, there’s the Natural Breathing Technique. I only just realized the correct way to use it …”
Although in the past few days, Lu Sheng’s BQV had increased, it was still far from reaching the standards of a Level 3 Martial Artist. He was able to maintain his speed all the way up until now, entirely because of the Natural Breathing Technique.
This breathing technique, which was hailed as the strongest to the highest in the martial world 10,000 years in the future, finally burst into unparalleled brilliance when Lu Sheng’s physical strength reached its limit.
Every time Lu Sheng breathed, it was as if he could draw some energy from the surrounding air, which greatly replenished his depleted stamina.
Under the impetus of the Natural Breathing Technique, Lu Sheng’s body continued to produce even greater strength.
Whenever he felt that he could barely hold on, the Natural Breathing Technique could always extract newfound power from his muscles.
Lu Sheng knew that this was a sign of breaking through his body’s limits, time and time again.
Boom!
Lu Sheng landed heavily on top of a platform with both feet.
He had already reached the top of the Wild Fox Mountain.
At this moment, Lu Sheng’s body was steaming with vapor, and his entire body emitted a high temperature far beyond that of normal people.
He seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood surging and rushing within his veins …
