Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 69: Not Started

Robin quickly opened the system panel to check the changes in his attributes.

When he saw "Basic Meditation Method (Beginner's Guide): 3/100", he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the progress bar only has a pitiful 3 points, it means that he has successfully stepped into the threshold of meditation.

"As long as I'm diligent enough, I will definitely succeed in my cultivation!" Robin knew very well that without the system's assistance in his cultivation, after these three energies were exhausted, he would completely lose the chance to become a wizard.

He sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing according to the basic meditation method.

This time, he did not rely on any external objects, but relied entirely on his own mental power to sense the energy fluctuations around him.

At first, his mind was still filled with various distracting thoughts, making it difficult to concentrate.

But Robin did not give up. Instead, he kept adjusting his breathing rhythm, trying to eliminate all distracting thoughts one by one.

As time passed, sweat began to seep out of Robin's forehead, but his breathing became more and more stable.

Gradually, he felt a weak energy fluctuation flowing in his body, like a small stream, although weak, but clearly visible.

"Is this mental power?" Robin was secretly happy, but he did not rush for success. Instead, he continued to maintain a meditative state, trying to make this energy fluctuation more stable.

After an unknown amount of time, Robin slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

He felt that his mental state was clearer than before, as if the whole world had become brighter.

He opened the system panel again and found that the progress bar of "Basic Meditation Method (Not Beginner)" had increased from 3/100 to 5/100.

"It really works!" A hint of excitement flashed in Robin's eyes.

Although the improvement was small, it proved that his efforts were not in vain.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Robin stood up and opened the door to find Monroe standing outside with a look of concern on his face.

"Robin, are you okay? I heard that you bought a bunch of things from the wizard's apprentice and locked yourself in your room all day." Monroe asked.

Robin smiled, a hint of relief in his tone: "I'm fine, just researching something new."

Monroe frowned, a hint of worry in his tone: "Don't be fooled by those wizards' tricks. Their things are not something we knights can touch casually."

Robin nodded, "I understand. I'm just curious. I won't get too obsessed."

Monroe sighed and patted Robin on the shoulder. "Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much. But if you run into any trouble, remember to come find me."

Robin nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Monroe. I will."

After seeing Monroe off, Robin returned to the room and continued to practice meditation.

Although practicing meditation allowed him to improve his progress to 8/100, the consumption of his mental energy also made him feel extremely tired.

He lay in bed, closed his eyes, and tried to ease the feeling of being drained away.

"Is this the state of mental exhaustion?" Robin muttered to himself, a wry smile in his tone. He had originally thought he could master the meditation technique in one go, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.

His mental energy was being consumed much faster than he had imagined, and it was recovering extremely slowly.

The next morning, when Robin woke up, he still felt a slight headache.

He tried to concentrate, but found that his mental strength was still weak and he could not continue to practice meditation.

"It seems I have to give up temporarily today." Robin sighed, feeling a little regretful.

But he was not discouraged by this, but quickly adjusted his mentality.

After all, although meditation cannot be practiced for the time being, he still has breathing techniques to continue improving.

After getting up and washing up, Robin walked to the corner of the room and began to adjust his breathing according to the Dragon-Eating Breathing Method.

The practice of breathing method is different from meditation method. It focuses more on guiding and strengthening the original force of life rather than consuming mental energy.

As his breathing rhythm gradually stabilized, Robin felt the life force in his body begin to flow slowly, like a warm stream, nourishing his body and spirit.

"The practice of breathing techniques is indeed more suitable for me now." Robin thought to himself.

Although meditation cannot be continued for the time being, the improvement of breathing method can also enhance his overall strength.

Moreover, practicing breathing techniques does not consume mental energy, but can help him recover faster.

As time passed, Robin's breathing became more and more steady, and the life force in his body gradually became full.

He felt his body become lighter and stronger.

When he finished his training, the sun was already high in the sky. The warm sunlight shone through the window onto his body, bringing a sense of comfort.

Robin opened the system panel and carefully checked the changes in his attributes. His eyes swept over the various data, and he felt both relieved and full of anticipation for the future.

Robin's gaze lingered on the "Dragon Devouring Breathing" column for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "My experience in Dragon Devouring Breathing has increased a bit."

He nodded with satisfaction, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his Dragon Devouring Breathing technique was much faster than when he was a Knight's apprentice.

Not only that, the speed of practicing the Spirit Snake Breathing Method is also amazing, especially in the early stages, the improvement speed is even more than ten times or even dozens of times that of the Earth Dragon Breathing Method.

When the experience of the Spirit Snake Breathing Technique reached the same level as the Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique, the speed of cultivation suddenly slowed down and returned to the same level as the Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique.

"It seems that the Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique is the key." Robin muttered to himself, a glimmer of enlightenment in his eyes.

He realized that if he wanted to quickly improve his breathing experience, he had to practice the Dragon Devouring Breathing Method as his main breathing method, while also considering improving other breathing methods to maintain a balance.
