--- Chapter 6 ---

After breakfast, which is very enjoyable as Bibi Dongxue is made a warm soup for him, not only it makes his body warm and full of energy, he could feel the hunger from gluttony fading. ??

"Hmm, it's delicious..." Yunlong praised his mother's cooking, which makes Bibi Dongxue smiled at him.

"Well, normal food won't satisfy your endless stomach, after all." Bibi Dongxue commented as she cooked the soup using a few medicinal herbs and spirit beast's meats.

Not only the soup she made is very nutritious for a soul master, but it also can nourish their body and spirit power.

Well, Yunlong is an exceptional case as his mortal sin: gluttony would always make his stomach like an endless hole, his hunger also won't be satisfied if he doesn't eat something like this.

Moreover, this is why Yunlong's body grew faster than any children at his age, as he looks like a four-year-old boy while he's only two years old.

Bibi Dongxue is shaking her head while looking at her son before calmly sipping a tea.

"I can open the birthday gift, right," Yunlong asked while looking at the two books above the table, which are near his mother's hand.

"Mm, here..." Bibi Dongxue responded while lightly pushing the books to her son.

Yunlong is curiously staring at the book as he saw the book's titles, which makes him frowned a little as the two books are breathing techniques.

"You don't like it? I thought you want to train your breathing as I see you often controlling your breath." Bibi Dongxue asked while staring at him with doubt.

'He doesn't like these gifts...' She thought while lowering her head.

'I thought he would like this gift.' She added in her heart while feeling sad as she thinks she already knew what kind of gift her son wanted.

"No, mother! I like it." Yunlong suddenly said as he realized Bibi Dongxue's sulking, which makes him feel bad.

"I'm just shocked." He added while happily hugging his mother, "You should have watched me train my breathing, right."

"Mm, that's why I give you those books." Bibi Dongxue answered while staring at her son's eyes.

'I see my guess is right, so she observed me all this time, huh.' Yunlong thought while released a small sigh.

'I can't feel her presence at all.' He added in his heart as he lifted his head.

They stared at each other for a good few seconds until Bibi Dongxue opened her mouth and said, "Do you want me to teach you these breathing techniques."

"Yes!" Yunlong gladly said with a smile on his face.

Bibi Dongxue nodded her head as she starts teaching her son [Mibu breathing technique] and [Turtle breathing technique].

"Follow my instruction..." She said while released a heavy breath to empty her lungs and breathe in quietly through the nose for four seconds.

Yunlong is calmly staring at Bibi Dongxue before also do the same thing as her, which makes his mother impressed.

Bibi Dongxue nodded her head in satisfaction before exhaling the air from her mouth.

"Repeat this breathing cycle a few times." She stated while watching her son nodded his head while following her instruction.

"Fuu..." Yunlong released a breath as Neo's voice appeared in his head.

[You have learned the Mibu Breathing Technique]

"Okay, that was easy..." Yunlong said as he felt the breathing become more refined.

'My breathing becomes more relaxed.' He thought while calmly shifted his gaze to his mother.

"Good, Mibu breathing technique is to soothe your body while makes your nerve calmer." Bibi Dongxue praised while staring at him.

"If you successfully learned this breathing technique to a higher level, you would be able to breathe underwater." She added, which makes Yunlong nod in satisfaction because this breathing is beneficial for him.

"What about the other breathing technique?" He asked as he already learned the Mibu breathing technique.

"Well, for the other breathing technique, you need to inhale a big amount of oxygen into your lungs and maintain it for a few seconds." Bibi Dongxue replied as she inhaled a significant amount of oxygen into her lungs.

She's calmly closing her eyes for a few seconds before she exhaled the air from her mouth.

"Turtle breathing technique is to enhance your breathing and increase your lungs capacity," She stated while repeating the cycle of the breathing.

"I see..." Yunlong muttered before following his mother's breathing steps.

He inhaled a vast amount of oxygen and released it after holding it for a few minutes and repeat for a few times.

"Fuu..." He released a big breathe as Neo's monotonous voice appeared in his head.

[You have learned the Turtle breathing technique]

'Hmm, maybe I should fuse these breathing techniques.' Yunlong thought while feeling something patting his head.

"Mother?" Yunlong tilted his head while staring at his mother.

"Good job, my son," Bibi Dongxue said before kissing him on his forehead.

Yunlong is feeling a little bit complicated when his mother kissed him.

"Well, I'm going to my room for a little bit." She said as she walked from the room.

"Call me if you need something, okay." She added, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

'Bibi Dong, your life is tragic...' Yunlong thought while staring at his mother's back.

"But I will change that." He firmly added in his heart while his eyes shone with white light.

'Douluo Dalu's world, Bibi Dong...' Yunlong thought while closing his eyes while remembering the story about this world as he already read the novels.

'Since she had become the new supreme pontiff, that means she already killed her teacher while the main protagonist of the story is already born into this world.' He added before he opened his eyes.

"Neo..." Yunlong whispered as a virtual black screen appeared in front of his face.

[Do you need my assistance, Host]

'Mm, open fusion function.' He thought while looking at the screen changing.

[Activating the enhanced system function...]

'Fuse, basic breathing, Mibu breathing technique, and Turtle breathing technique.' Yunlong instructed while seeing three lights flying from his chest.

[Y/N]

'Yes.' He calmly responded.

[You have gained the Serene Water Art]

"Ohh, let's see..." Yunlong said while checking his new skills.

[Name: Serene Water Art]

[Type: Breathing Technique]

[Grade: Rare]

[Description: a combination of three skill, which got fused into one technique, this technique would make the user able to breathe underwater while also enhance their breathing, mind, and physical ability]

"Hmm, not bad, I guess..." Yunlong said while trying to use the new skill.

He's calmly inhaled a significant amount of air into his lungs and hold it for a few seconds before releasing it with his mouth.

He keeps repeating this for a few cycles before a calm feeling is washing his mind as his physical ability somehow got enhanced by several folds.

"Hmm, this is similar to breathing techniques from demon slayer, but it doesn't contain any sword moves," Yunlong commented while gripping his hand.

"Well, I'm satisfied with the technique." He added before walking toward his mother's bedroom.
