Chapter 1 Breathing Technique
Chenxi Continent, Grant Kingdom, Geda Province, Wright County, Knight Academy.
A young man wearing black steel armor and a gray leather hat sat cross-legged on the stone steps, his chest rising and falling, and every time he breathed, a stream of white air was ejected, which lasted for an hour and a half.
The cold north wind blew, mixed with snowflakes hitting Richard. He practiced breathing in the weather of minus 30 degrees. Although it was very painful and looked like self-mutilation, Richard still did not stop practicing breathing.
Every morning, Richard practiced breathing. In the Knight Academy of the Kingdom of Grant, it was rare to find a student as diligent as him.
Especially in the cold winter, the colder the climate, the more suitable it was for Richard to practice the breathing method of the Mad Lion Legion. After completing the breathing method training, Richard held a sharp sword, picked up a thick wooden stake with his feet, and chopped it continuously.
The sharp sword made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and easily split the wooden stake as thick as a washbasin into two pieces. After splitting three hundred wooden stakes, the morning training was considered to be over.
"Breathing skill proficiency +4, third level perfection (4000/4000).
Swordsmanship proficiency +1, third level swordsmanship (289/4000)."
Richard took a deep breath, quickly wiped off the sweat on his body, and opened the attribute panel silently.

Looking at the attribute panel in his mind, Richard thought to himself.
"I have been in this fantasy world for six years, and I have been practicing breathing for a year and a half. I have finally practiced the breathing method of the Mad Lion Legion to the third level."
One point of strength is about the same as that of an ordinary adult in the previous life, and can lift a weight of 50 kilograms.
According to Richard's estimation, with a strength of 6.7, he can easily lift a weight of 300 kilograms. Based on the strength attribute alone, Richard is stronger than the weightlifting champion of Blue Star in his previous life.
With an agility of 2.3, he runs much faster than Bolt, and a physical strength of 3.5, he can keep this burst speed for 2,000 meters.
In terms of physical fitness, Richard is like a little superman.
But on the Dawn Continent, Richard is only a high-level warrior student, and has not yet opened the seed of life and completed the professional advancement.
Six years ago, the original owner of this body was possessed by a demon.
After the pastor of the Dawn Church expelled the demon, Yang Rui, the soul from Blue Star, occupied this body and came to this world in a daze.
This is a world with extraordinary power, but also a world with low productivity.
Through subsequent learning, Richard gradually realized that the microscopic particles in this world are different from those in the Blue Star Universe.
There is a special microscopic particle in the material world, which is called the magic factor and is the source of extraordinary power.
Under the influence of the magic factor, the physics, chemistry, and biology of the Dawn Plane are slightly different from those of the Blue Star.
The scientific experience on the Blue Star cannot be directly transferred to the Dawn Plane.
For example, Richard prepared black gunpowder according to the proportion, but it failed to explode successfully.
The explosion of this plane may require the participation of the magic factor.
Richard heard that there are magic bombs in the Dawn Continent, which are more powerful than large-caliber artillery shells.
According to Richard's observation, this world also has stars, planets, and satellites.
Twelve months a year, thirty days a month, and twenty-four hours a day.
The strange thing is that every year, every month, and every day is very accurate, and there is no need to revise the calendar after running for many years.
What's even stranger is that there are almost no stars in the night sky of this world. It seems to be another universe.
After failing to make gunpowder and his confidence being hit, Richard began to study the knowledge of this world and carefully integrated into this world.
This world has a recorded history of more than 3,000 years, and has not developed the science of the previous earth.
There is no sign of the industrial revolution, and the wars between the major kingdoms are still dominated by cold weapons. A powerful legendary professional can usually decide the outcome of a war. As long as you can become a high-level professional, the royal families of the Dawn Continent will not be stingy with the reward.
If you can make military achievements for the kingdom, you will become a hereditary noble and achieve class transition.
Richard's family background is not very high, and his ancestors have no noble blood.
His father William was a free hunter. In the orc invasion war 23 years ago, he saved a noble officer of the Northern Legion.
In this war, William turned over, first saving the noble officer to expand his network, and then picked up a breathing method of the Mad Lion Legion from the body of a low-level officer. After the war, he joined the Northern Legion, successfully opened the seed of life, and grew into a powerful professional.
Although William has no title yet, he has already served as the captain of the 6th Battalion of the Northern Army, and is considered a heavyweight officer in the Northern Army. Even in the important Black River Fort in the North, he is still a figure.
The earlier you learn the breathing method, the better. If your physical fitness is not good enough, forcing yourself to learn it will at least damage your body, and at worst, it will be life-threatening.
In the major legions of the Kingdom of Grant, soldiers usually have to wait until they reach adulthood, their bodies are completely formed, and they have undergone preliminary training and made military achievements and passed the test. Only then will they be given the breathing method and trained as professionals.
William is gifted. After he grows up, he is a famous strongman in Wright County. Before he practiced the breathing method, his strength was stronger than that of a first-level soldier.
Richard inherited some of his father's talents. At the age of thirteen, he had the same strength as an ordinary adult. At the age of fourteen, he began to practice the breathing method.
In less than two years, Richard practiced the third-level Crazy Lion Legion Breathing Method to the limit.
"It's a pity that the Crazy Lion Legion Breathing Method my father got was incomplete, otherwise I would have been able to break through and become a professional soon.
My father switched to the Morning Light Breathing Method to become a professional. It is said that doing so is very dangerous. If you want to successfully advance to a professional, you need to join the Crazy Lion Legion as soon as possible, get the subsequent exercises of the Crazy Lion Breathing Method, and advance step by step. The subsequent practice will also be smoother."
There are a total of thirteen legions on the northern defense line of the Kingdom of Grant.
These legions vary in strength and are roughly divided into three types.
The first type is the five legions directly under the central government. Among these five legions, the Northern Legion, the Mad Lion Legion, and the Grizzly Legion are the main legions of the Grant Kingdom. They are second to none in strength and have extraordinary combat effectiveness.
Due to the threat of the northern orcs, three of the kingdom's seven main legions are stationed in the North all year round.
Almost half of the kingdom's military forces are stationed in the North.
These three legions are also the most powerful military forces in the North. The remaining two central legions have average combat effectiveness and are not as good as the four dukes' direct legions in the North.
In addition to the five central legions and the four dukes' direct legions, there are four noble coalition legions in the North.
These four noble legions are quite powerful, but unfortunately they are not united and their strength is scattered. They have strong power but perform very averagely on the battlefield.
