Chapter 32
“All breathing techniques are derived from the Basic Breathing Technique. Someone said that even though the Basic Breathing Technique doesn’t have any special attributes, it’s actually the most comprehensive breathing technique.”
“It might be the strongest Breathing Technique at every level. It’s just that… No one has ever verified it!”
“I’ve already upgraded the Basic Breathing Technique to the second level of B-Rank Breathing Technique… Let me see what’s different about this Basic Breathing Technique!”
Chu Zhou muttered to himself and immediately activated the Basic Breathing Technique.
His body seemed to have transformed into a hungry monster that violently devoured the cosmic energy in the air instantly, faintly emitting a suction force.
The light in the room dimmed visibly.
Rays of light faintly wrapped around his body, forming a white light vortex.
Then, countless colorful light spots surged out of the surrounding void and entered the light vortex.
The light vortex also turned into a gorgeous colorful vortex.
Chu Zhou sensed the situation in his body carefully.
In the beginning, he only felt the normal cosmic energy in his body.
Then, came the feeling of energy from light.
Finally, he felt the energy of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and other elements.
“This… This is unbelievable!”
Chu Zhou was shocked.
Actually, be it light, metal, wood, water, fire, or earth, they were all cosmic energy.
However, unlike normal cosmic energy, light, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elemental energy displayed certain characteristics.
As far as he knew, all breathing techniques focused on absorbing certain energy except for the Basic Breathing Technique.
For example, the Solar Breathing Technique, one of the top ten SSS-rank breathing techniques, focused on absorbing solar energy.
The Moonlight Breathing Technique, which was also one of the SSS-rank breathing techniques, focused on absorbing moon energy.
Absorbing different energies would also cause the body of a martial artist to undergo different transformations. It might even affect the combat techniques used by martial artists.
Warriors who practiced the Solar Breathing Technique not only had a body that was resistant to high temperatures and flames, but they could also emit terrifying high temperatures and flames.
Their combat strength could also be greatly increased when the sun was still up.
In short, all breathing techniques focused on absorbing one type of energy and had a huge impact on one’s evolution and battle techniques except the Basic Breathing Technique.
However, Chu Zhou’s current Basic Breathing Technique had broken the norm.
It could absorb light, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elemental energy in addition to absorbing normal cosmic energy at the same time.
“So the rumors were true. The Basic Breathing Technique is indeed the most comprehensive… Because the higher the level of the Basic Breathing Technique, the more energy it absorbs. It’s not limited to a certain energy at all.”
“This is equivalent to a more comprehensive tempering and strengthening of a martial artist’s body and genes…”
Chu Zhou exclaimed.
He realized that the Basic Breathing Technique actually contained such a shocking secret just then.
He was sure that it would shock the world if he revealed this secret.
However, it was impossible for Chu Zhou to reveal this secret before he felt it was safe enough.
As for when he would feel safe enough…
That would naturally be when he becomes invincible.
Chu Zhou looked at his Life Field Energy again after experiencing the amazingness of the tenth level of Basic Breathing.
He was also pleasantly surprised that his Life Field Energy could reach 7.
“No matter how monstrous an Apprentice is, 5 is the limit according to the information released by the Alliance.”
“No human’s Life Field Energy has ever been able to break through 5 while he’s still an Apprentice all these years!”
“But now… I’ve broken through this limit!”
“Looks like the so-called geniuses in this world are actually fake… I’m the real genius! Who is able to have talent like mine?”
Chu Zhou muttered to himself proudly.
He unceremoniously treated his Attribute Board as his “talent”.
At the same time, he could clearly sense how powerful he was now.
He was confident that he could slap the mutant into a meat patty if he were to meet it again.
“To be able to reach 7 on the Life Field Energy, this is already far beyond the limit of Apprentices… Then, it’s time to inject the genetic potion.”
Chu Zhou made up his mind and picked up the syringe containing the genetic potion decisively.
He stabbed his arm.
All the genetic potions were injected into his body in no time.
The genetic potion quickly fused into Chu Zhou’s blood and spread throughout his body.
At this moment, Chu Zhou suddenly felt that his five senses had been magnified at least 10 times.
He closed his eyes and vaguely sensed that his father and sister were talking in the hall.
He also heard a few little c.o.c.kroaches crawling in the corner of the house.
He even heard the sound of people walking and talking in the neighborhood.
There was also the sound of blood flowing, stomach squirming, and cells absorbing energy.
He had such a deep understanding of his body for the first time.
He felt that his body was actually a world.
Suddenly, all the muscles, bones, internal organs, cells, and even deeper genes in his body shook violently.
His entire inner world seemed to have awakened at this moment.
The sleeping genes became unprecedentedly active.
Transformation, transformation…
His muscles, bones, internal organs, cells, genes, everything were transforming.
It was as if countless wills were shouting in his body:
Evolution! Evolution! Evolution…
BOOM!
A thunderclap seemed to have torn apart the pitch-black sky. A wave of rumbling shook and suddenly swept through Chu Zhou’s entire body.
An invisible shackle exploded at this moment.
The power that was slumbering in the deepest part of his genes surged out like a raging river.
Chu Zhou’s Life Field Energy continued to rise.
A strong aura of life force swept out of his room, bringing with it a strong wind.
Chu Yu, who was talking to his father Chu Donglai in the hall, suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe and was oppressed. Her small face could not help but turn slightly pale.
His father, Chu Donglai, narrowed his eyes slightly and towards Chu Zhou’s room. He muttered to himself in an almost imperceptible voice. “Has he advanced to an Awakening Realm martial artist?”
With that, he used his rough hand to gently pat Chu Yu, his daughter’s small head.
The huge hand seemed to have a strange magic power. The suffocating and oppressive feeling that enveloped Chu Yu’s heart directly disappeared.
At this moment, she felt very warm and safe.
The transformation in Chu Zhou’s body slowly stopped in the room.
He looked at the information on the Attribute Board and smiled happily.
“Name: Chu Zhou (Beginner Awakening Realm martial artist, Life Field 17)”
He had successfully broken through the first stage of the genetic lock and advanced to become an Awakening Realm martial artist.
