Chapter Thirty-Six: The Technique Called [Thunder Breath]

Breathing method, the full name is [Comprehensive Breathing Method], it is a collective term for the techniques created by the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad to fight against evil spirits with the human body.

It mainly uses a special breathing rhythm to enhance the cardiopulmonary function, so that the blood can absorb a large amount of oxygen, so that the user's physical energy will increase instantly, and within a short period of time, it will be able to rival ghosts.

Strengthen physical fitness through breathing methods, and then use sword skills matched with breathing methods to fight. This is how the swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Team fight against ogre ghosts.

The original breathing method appeared in the Warring States period about 400 years ago, and it was called "the original breath". From the "initial breath", later generations absorbed part of the essence, combined with their own special, Five basic breathing styles were created.

The five basic breathing styles are [Water Breath], [Thunder Breath], [Fire Breath], [Rock Breath], and [Wind Breath].

There is basically no distinction between high and low in the five basic schools of breathing. Each has its own emphasis and characteristics, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages that other breathing methods do not have.

And from these five basic breathing methods, many other branch schools have been derived. Although they are derived from the basic breathing methods, they also have their own characteristics.

Among these breathing methods, except for the "initial breathing" of the ancestor of breathing method, which has a transcendent status, no breathing method can be said to be absolutely superior to other breathing methods.

And what my wife Shanyi learned is the fastest and most explosive of these breathing methods [Thunder Breath].

[Thunder's Breath], even among the ghost killing team with various breathing methods, it is one of the most difficult breathing methods to cultivate.

While possessing the fastest speed and the strongest explosive power, it will naturally require the user to have physical fitness beyond ordinary people. If the physical fitness is strong enough, learning [Thunder Breath] can get twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Xia's physical fitness has reached the limit of ordinary people. In terms of physical fitness alone, he surpasses my wife Shanyi by a lot. Learning [Thunder Breath] is naturally more than enough.

"The key to learning breathing methods is how to effectively absorb a large amount of oxygen and then gather it into the blood, so the strength of the heart and lung function is the most important thing."

In the ancient temple, although the willow branches are already on the moon, and my wife Shanyi has already felt a little sleepy, but in order to survive the final selection tomorrow, he still teaches the cultivation method of [Thunder Breath] to him with all his heart. Lucia.

Of course, although it is teaching, he is actually just transcribing to Lucia exactly what his trainer said to him. He has no experience in teaching others, so of course the teaching will appear dry and not at all. Know how to adapt.

But fortunately, Lucia learns very fast.

If there are people like [geniuses] in this world, then Lucia is definitely one of them. The aptitude possessed by this kind of person is like a chasm, lying in front of people with ordinary aptitude, causing countless people to produce The hopelessness of not being able to catch up, lives under the shadow of such a person all his life.

After telling Liu Xia the key points of breathing method and sword skills, my wife Shanyi couldn't bear the overwhelming drowsiness, lay down on the floor of the ancient temple, and slowly fell asleep.

Liu Xia practiced [breathing method] repeatedly in the open space outside the temple, and the sound of deep but rhythmic breathing resounded in the silent night.

And with the passage of time, the agitation contained in this breathing sound has become more and more intense. It is obviously just an ordinary breathing, but it makes people feel like a wild beast is restless in front of them, and it is about to roar like a sky-shaking roar. illusion.

…………

The next day, morning.

The two had breakfast early, and when the sun had just risen above the horizon and the dew on the leaves in the forest had not completely melted, they left the ancient temple.

We came to the vicinity of Fuji Attack Mountain.

The ancient temple is not far from Tengji Mountain. After driving together for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at the foot of Tengji Mountain.

"I said, Lucia sauce, are we really going to lift such a heavy box up together?"

At the foot of the mountain, my wife Shanyi looked at a nearly 100-meter-long staircase in front of her, and turned her head to look at the suitcase in Liu Xia's hand, with a bitter look on her face.

"What exactly is in this box of yours? Why is it so heavy? Wouldn't it be better to throw some away, or just put them at the foot of the mountain?"

Liu Xia glanced at the suitcase in his hand, there was nothing special in the suitcase, just some things such as tents, flashlights, clothes, nylon ropes, and the most important things were placed in the piano case behind him.

"Lift it to the top and let someone from the Ghost Killing Squad take care of it."

Although things are not important, Lucia has no intention of giving up.

Because in addition to the above essential items for life in the wild, he also put some valuable jewelry in it. He has no money from other worlds, so of course he needs to prepare some hard currency. At least it must be able to be sold in most of the worlds, at least be prepared.

My wife Shanyi sighed, had no choice but to lift up the other corner of the suitcase, and together with Liu Xia, carried the suitcase up the stairs step by step.

The only way to go to the mountainside is the ladder in front of you. Every candidate swordsman of the ghost killing team needs to walk up this ladder step by step. Not far from the top, you can see a red door. The building is there.

That is the torii called 'Torii', also called 'God's gate', which is usually an annex to the shrine, meaning the place where the gods enter and exit. The reason why it is built on both sides at the end of the stairs is to tell others that there is a shrine here.

It took the two of them another ten minutes to walk up the stairs and arrive at the shrine on the mountainside.

As soon as I entered the shrine, my wife Zenitsu lay directly on the ground, not caring whether the haori on her body would be dirty, panting heavily, dripping with sweat.

Compared with him, although Liu Xia's breathing was a little faster, she felt that she had only run a thousand meters, far less unbearable than him.

In the open space of the shrine, there are already more than ten figures standing at this moment.

These people stood around the open space, barely talking to each other. From the outside, they were almost fifteen-year-old youths, and everyone looked very serious.

Behind these people, the shrine is in the previous position, and there is a long table placed there, and two teenagers who are only about seven or eight years old are standing in front of the table.

The appearance of the two is almost exactly the same, and it is completely indistinguishable from male to female. Only the hair is pure black and white, which can barely tell which is which.

Although the two looked immature, their faces were extremely calm, as if they had already seen such scenes, and there was no jerk or fear at all.
