Chapter 3 Earth Breathing

"What's the matter?" Herag opened the door and saw old Henry. Behind old Henry was a young man in heavy armor.

Herag recognized him. He was Knight Emil, the captain of the castle's guard.

He was a big shot in the castle. It seemed that he had something to do with him.

"Are you Herag?" Emil looked Herag up and down and asked.

"Yes, Lord Emil." Herag answered honestly.

"Deep Blue, check Emil's physical data."

"Emile: Strength 1, Agility 6, Constitution 2, Spirit 1, unknown energy in the body."

For the first time, Herag had an intuitive understanding of the knight's strength.

Although Emil's data seemed to be only a little higher than his, in actual combat, it was not just a little, but an all-round improvement.

A little increase in strength may increase the corresponding actual combat ability by more than ten times, which is completely different.

There is also some unknown energy in Emil's body. Herag guessed that this should be the power of the knight.

If this unknown power is taken into account, the actual combat energy will be improved by an unknown amount.

"I heard you're a good archer, show me." Emil said simply and clearly.

Old Henry gave an encouraging look, and Herag didn't hesitate, and immediately went back to the house to get the longbow.

Emil looked around, pointed to a tall pine tree in the distance and said, "Can you shoot down the tallest pine cone?"

"Yes." Herag said confidently.

"Let's get started." Emil said.

Herag opened the longbow and turned on the auxiliary aiming.

Now he has enough strength, and the longbow is fully pulled.

After a whoosh, the pine cone in the distance fell to the ground.

Emil nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you are a natural sharpshooter, qualified to join the guard, come with me to the training ground."

Herag obviously had no right to refuse, and followed Emil honestly, and old Henry grinned happily.

The castle's training ground is a wide and flat field. It was training time at this time, and many guards were training.

After Emil brought Herag here, naturally many people noticed it.

However, Emil did not dare to ask more questions. He continued to train and worked harder.

Emil took Herag to an open space. He turned around and said, "Herag, do you know why knights are so powerful?"

Herag did not know this question either. He could only shake his head.

"Because of the breathing method." Emil said in a deep voice.

"Breathing method?" Herag heard this term for the first time.

Emil continued, "Yes, breathing method can allow us to develop and mobilize the hidden power in our bodies. Through the accumulation of breathing method over time, not only can our bodies become stronger, but it is also possible for us to awaken the seeds of life. People who awaken the seeds of life can be called knights.

"Then can I awaken the seeds of life?" Herag asked.

"Not necessarily. Only a very few lucky people have this qualification. Most people will never become knights in their lifetime." Emil said.

He looked at Herag and continued, "You are very talented in archery. Next, I will teach you the earth breathing method. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible to share the worries of the Baron. "

"Thank you, Lord Emil, thank you, Lord Baron. "Herag hammered his right fist on his chest and performed a standard loyalty ceremony. He was very good at these superficial skills.

"Well! You must remember that all this is thanks to the Baron." Emil was very satisfied with Herag's attitude.

"Deep Blue, start recording all of Emil's actions, especially those related to the Earth Breathing Method." Herag's mind moved and gave an order.

"The recording has begun."

Emile began to teach the Earth Breathing Method. He said in a deep voice: "Breathing is something everyone is born with. The Earth Breathing Method has a unique breathing rhythm that allows you to give birth to a stream of air in your body. This air travels throughout the body in a specific route, slowly strengthening your muscles and bones..."

"The Earth Breathing Method has been recorded."

After explaining the precautions, Emil said: "Try it."

The Earth Breathing Method requires a lot of strange movements, and then practice with a unique breathing rhythm. It is difficult for beginners to do the movements well, and it is not easy to grasp the breathing rhythm.

"Deep Blue, start the Earth Breathing Method to assist in practice. "

Deep Blue quickly presented each movement to Herag, and Herag followed suit and began to do the first movement.

"Move your right hand up by one centimeter, and your left hand down by 0.5 centimeters."

After Herag made the first movement, Deep Blue quickly corrected his movement and gave the exact amount of displacement.

He adjusted his movement according to the instructions of the chip.

Emile was a little surprised, and looked at Herag with appreciation without saying a word.

There are a total of fifteen movements in the Earth Breathing Method, and each movement is difficult.

Herag completed the whole set of movements with the help of the chip. After finishing, he was exhausted and could not stand steadily.

"Effective exercise is detected. Repeating this set of movements a hundred times can increase strength by 2, agility by 5, and physique by 3."

"A hundred times, it doesn't seem to be a lot." Herag saw the prompt given by the chip, and he felt more motivated.

It is not difficult to persist in hard work, but it is difficult to make efforts without seeing the progress bar. Herag can see instant feedback, which makes him very motivated to practice.

Emile remained silent throughout the whole process until Herag finished practicing the Earth Breathing Method, then he spoke: "You are very talented! I will pay attention to you."

He was busy with work, so he told Herag to keep practicing and then continued to work.

"Deep Blue, how long does it take to complete 100 practices?"

"According to the current physical condition, you can practice twice a day. After practicing for seven days, your body's adaptability can be improved. The number of practices per day is estimated to be six to seven times, and it is estimated that 100 practices will be completed in 23 days."

This progress is faster than Herag imagined.

After this day, Herag's identity also changed.

He changed from a lowly servant to a guard of the castle guards, with a salary of five silver coins per month, and a set of armor and a long sword.

The daily meals were upgraded to two meals, and there was one meat meal every three days, but this was not very important to Herag, he could get meat by hunting on his own.

Emile valued him very much, and he didn't need to perform any tasks during this period, he just needed to concentrate on practicing the Earth Breathing Method.

Herag went hunting in the forest every day, and then came back to practice the Earth Breathing Method, and so on.

Twenty days later.

"The first stage of the Earth Breathing Method has been completed, and the current physical condition is: Strength 6, Agility 1, Constitution 7, Spirit 2."

"The second stage of the Earth Breathing Method can be practiced. Repeating the practice a thousand times can increase Strength 4, Agility 5, and Constitution 5."

Herag smiled involuntarily when he looked at the chip prompt. His efforts for more than half a month have not been in vain.

He now lives a fulfilling life every day. In addition to hunting and practicing, he eats and sleeps. There is one more course tomorrow. Emile will teach him swordsmanship.

Herag now has a strong physical fitness, but lacks effective means of defending against enemies. Archery can only be used to fight against enemies at a long distance.

In this era of cold weapons, there are more close combats.
