The man could also tell that he had shocked Zhao Gao and the others. Zhao Gao and the others would definitely be unable to recover from the vomiting.

They had no heart to continue training.

Therefore, he instructed the adjutant to arrange for the soldiers to clean up the corpses.

Looking at the corpses that were being taken away by the soldiers, everyone started vomiting again. But this time, they had nothing left in their stomach to vomit out.

Seeing the miserable state of the dead, everyone could not help but feel their limbs turn cold.

The man had killed more than two hundred people by himself, yet he looked neither angry nor breathless. The difference between his strength and theirs was too great!

Or rather, the people had no strength at all.

————

After everyone had calmed down, the man spoke again. “This is the first lesson I’m going to teach you today.”

“In this place, it is not for you to decide.”

“Here, human lives are worthless.”

“Here, before you have the strength to kill me, you have to obediently listen to my orders.”

“As for trash like those who can’t even persist in training, they have no value to be nurtured. On the battlefield, they are also trash that will be killed eventually.”

Upon hearing the man’s words, everyone fell silent. Whatever they wanted to refute was killed by the man’s brutal appearance.

Zhao Gao’s heart was also racing.

“From today’s mysterious fantasy, it only speaks of strength, strength and nothing else.”

“The man’s casual killing posture tells how cruel this place is.”

“Even though I was mentally prepared from the start, reality has deepened my knowledge of the cruelty of the Infinite World once again.”

“From this moment forth, I must live on. I must adjust my mental state quicker and work harder to become stronger.”

“So that no one can kill me.”

The above were Zhao Gao’s only thoughts at the moment.

“Everyone, rest here.”

“Adjutant, distribute the lunch!” After the man gave the order, the adjutant arranged for soldiers to bring in the carriage of food.

They were given to Zhao Gao and the others, one bowl per person.

But when everyone looked at the lunch in their hands, they had no appetite. This was especially so when they looked at the meat in the bowl.

At the thought of what had just happened, their stomachs churned.

“Eat it!”

“How do you train if you’re not full?”

“How can we fight the war without training?”

“I’m telling you, you have to eat it even if you don’t want to!” the man, seeing that no one moved, shouted directly at them.

Looking at the food in his hands, Zhao Gao hardened his heart and forced himself to swallow it.

The man was right. If he could not even accept this, how could he train and survive?

Zhao Gao Da ate it in big mouthfuls. When he felt that he was about to vomit, he covered his mouth and swallowed it forcefully.

After everyone was done eating, the man started training everyone again.

“Queue up!”

“Take your weapons!”

“Raise your shields!”

“Slash!”

Following the man’s slogan, Zhao Gao devoted himself to training.

Time ticked by. His rested body sent a signal to his brain that it needed to rest.

But the man did not stop, and Zhao Gao could not stop either.

Zhao Gao tried his best to raise the shield and saber in his hands. Every movement made him feel as if the shield and weapon in his hands were extremely heavy.

“Stop! Rest on the spot!” About an hour later, everyone finally heard the most ‘beautiful sound’ in their lives.

“Bang! Bang!” Many people directly fell to the ground and gasped for breath.

The man said, “Sit up, don’t lie on the ground!”

The people on the ground did not dare to disobey the man’s order, and quickly sat up cross-legged.

“Next, I will teach you the technique to become extraordinary.”

“And this cultivation technique will be the beginning of your true soaring. It will also be the start of being a warrior.”

The man paused, allowing Zhao Gao and the others to digest the information.

“I admit that you are qualified to be warriors from now on. Hence, you are qualified to know my name.”

“I am one of the 13 Grand Protectors of Blackrock City, Chiliarch Ling Chi. You can just call me Chiliarch Ling.”

“Now, I will lead you onto the path of the extraordinary and teach you the Basic Breathing Technique.”

“But what is a breathing technique?”

“Breathing is the process of letting air in and out. It is also the process of fusing the heart and aura.”

“Breathe in and breathe out, expel the old and take in the new. This is the way to longevity.”

“As long as you master this breathing technique, your bodies and resistance will begin to slowly evolve.”

“Everyone, start doing it with me.”

Step 1, lift your head and inhale.

Sit down cross-legged, retract your abdomen, and take a deep breath. At the same time, squeeze the back of your shoulder blade and bend back slightly to suck in ample breath. When doing this action, pay attention to how much you can do. Do not rush, especially in these early stages of training. If you raise your head too much, you can get dizzy.

And this action will allow you to absorb the energy of heaven and earth in the air and provide a foundation for your body’s evolution.

Step 2, hold your breath.

The pause after inhaling is a transitional state of breath. At this time, the air is no longer entering or exiting. Take note of the time you hold your breath. If you hold it for too long, it can also cause dizziness. The time you hold your breath should be proportional to the functions of your body, heart, lungs, and meridians. Do not force yourself, especially when you are practicing for the first time. For those of you who are older, have poor physiques, or have relatively serious cardiovascular diseases, hold your breath for a shorter time.

Step 3, the head is calm.

With no air leaking from your nose or mouth, lift up your shoulder blades, move forward, then lower them. At the same time, be mindful of loosening your shoulders and arching your lower back (this step needs to be done well; it is very crucial). Then, you would slowly and naturally sink your Qi into your Dantian. What you have to pay attention to is that when you sink your Qi, you have to let your body and mind be in a relaxed state. Only then would you be able to relax your shoulders and arch your lower back easily. The effect would be very good.

Step 4, hold your breath.

After sinking your Qi into your Dantian, stop breathing for a moment.

Step 5, exhale.

After holding your breath for a certain amount of time, you can slowly breathe out the air you have sucked in. You can also let out a soft “Ah” sound.

Things to note in basic breathing technique:

You can practice your breathing, for the next 5-30 minutes, in accordance to your actual physical condition. Do a minimum of 9 times; 4 cycles is better, as each cycle can consist of 9 deep breaths or slow breaths.

After completing the last cycle, rub your palms 9 times. Gently rub the left side and right side of your face 9 times. Rub your ears 9 times, and rub your cervical vertebra 9 times. Then, move your 10 fingers, starting from your lower jaw and move upwards, tapping your head 9 times. Finally, massage your left and right kidneys 9 times with your palms simultaneously. Once you are familiar with this, you just need to rub your hands and face.

Lastly, I have to emphasize something. When you raise your head to inhale, you can silently chant “An”. When you are holding their breath, you can chant “Ah”. When you exhale,you can chant “Hom”.

Of course, only beginners would find it so troublesome. When you break through the basics, you will naturally understand the profoundness of this breathing technique.
