Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

With both the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix in the mix, their fates are intertwined; it would be strange if there wasn't enough temporal and spatial energy involved.

Even so, all these people combined only provided two percent of the spacetime energy. The real bulk of the energy came from another person, namely that bald monster!

When the monster was killed, terrifying spacetime energy surged forth, directly increasing the spacetime energy by three percent, which was more than the spacetime energy generated by the main characters!

This means that killing this monster actually has a huge impact on the world.

This effect simply hasn't appeared yet.

[The First Form of Moon Breathing: The Palace of Dark Night Snacks!]

Genda River, standing under the tree, suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, his long sword flashed, unleashing a crescent-shaped slash!

Within this single strike, countless tiny blades of energy swirled, creating a powerful and dangerous aura, much like a vortex of sword rain.

A fallen leaf drifted down from the maple tree, blocking the slash in front of it. In an instant, the leaf was shattered by the sword energy into fragments only a few millimeters in size.

One can imagine that if a person of flesh and blood were to stand in front of such a sword light, the consequences would be absolutely unbearable!

He then unleashed another sword strike, seemingly no different from the previous one, but anyone with sufficient swordsmanship could discern the difference.

Compared to the previous sword strike, the vortex of air blades attached to this strike was gentler, carrying a continuous and resilient feel. It was the move he created by using the Breath of the Moon to activate the Water Breathing sword technique Water Surface Slash—Mirror Lake Moon Shadow!

Several days have passed, and of course, there is another opportunity to deduce. Genda River will not waste it, so he continues to deduce the Moon Breathing and obtains two sword techniques.

It seems that Moon Breathing is on a completely different level from basic breathing techniques, and the difficulty of deducing it is also much greater.

If Tomoko is still at 5% recovery level, this deduction will only yield the first form of Moon Breathing, and there will be no further gains.

Now, Zhizi's deduction ability has improved significantly again, and she has only deduced two moves.

In the past, it would have been extremely difficult to deduce the sword techniques of Moon Breathing. The first few sword moves would consume one opportunity, and the later moves might require several attempts to deduce them...

Now that computing power has greatly increased, it is already quite remarkable that two forms of the sword shape of Moon Breathing can be deduced in a single simulation.

"Indeed, if one uses the Breath of the Moon to control the sword techniques of the Breath of Water, it will be very easy, and the power of the sword techniques will also be greatly increased. However, the reason for this is not because the sword techniques of the Breath of the Moon and the Breath of Water are more compatible, but because the energy generated by the Breath of the Moon is simply too strong!"

After these few days of practice, he finally understood why Sun Breathing and Moon Breathing are considered the pinnacle of breathing techniques.

The energy effects produced when practicing Sun Breathing and Moon Breathing are on a completely different level from the five basic breathing techniques and those derived from them!

Just like the Breath of the Moon, the reason why the sword techniques of the Breath of the Moon are basically large-scale destructive skills, and the first move is a powerful attack, an area-of-effect bombardment, is because the energy generated by the Breath of the Moon is just too strong.

Only when the Breath of Water is mastered to a very high level can a tiny bit of sword energy condense on the blade, slightly extending from the blade itself. The Breath of the Moon, on the other hand, once mastered, can condense a crescent moon blade on the blade, with an area-of-effect damage effect!

However, the Breath of the Moon is not without its drawbacks. First of all, it consumes too much energy.

Every move is a powerful attack, a wide-area attack that deals massive damage. So how could it not consume a lot of resources? But that's tolerable. However, the second drawback was something we didn't expect.

That is, the sword techniques powered by the Breath of the Moon, although extremely powerful, place an enormous burden on the 2.5th inch of the lungs.

As expected of Kokushibo, Upper Moon One's breathing technique, it's practically dancing on the limits of the lungs.

In his pursuit of the ultimate breathing techniques and swordsmanship, Kokushibo unleashed tremendous power in his lungs through an extremely cruel method that placed immense pressure on them, causing damage with the slightest mistake.

Or rather, this guy never cared about lung damage because he was a ghost.

It's even possible that this thing did it on purpose, just like many demons in Demon Slayer who like to use their ability to regenerate limbs to recklessly employ mutually destructive methods. Kokushibo is Upper Moon One, so naturally he's no exception.

In other words, unless one has a demonic constitution, practicing Moon Breathing is almost certain to lead to death.

However, Genda River was an exception; he found two ways to solve this problem.

Chapter 107 Two Methods and Using Distraction for Two Purposes

The first method is to continue practicing the Ghost Back Muscle Training Method to develop your own unique Ghost Back Muscles, making your body incredibly strong.

It can even make the internal organs extremely strong, so that they can withstand the Breath of the Moon, or even the Breath of the Moon.

It's like an engine. The more advanced the engine, the better the materials used, the greater the kinetic energy it generates, and the faster the stroke.

If one truly possessed such powerful lungs, one could naturally use the Breath of the Moon without restraint.

It's not even inferior to Kokushibo!

However, this method is time-consuming and laborious, after all, it's about building muscle. It's like some body-forging techniques in the cultivation world. Although once mastered, one is basically invincible among those of the same level, the problem is that the difficulty of cultivating this thing is just too great.

In any world, this kind of skill is the most difficult to cultivate.

Because cultivation requires method, aptitude, and effort—all three are indispensable. Even if you have exceptional aptitude, possess top-tier techniques, and put in enough effort, you still need a much longer time to cultivate, several times longer than other cultivation methods!

The resulting predicament is that those with good aptitude disdain to learn it, as they can achieve great success in other areas as well. Moreover, intelligent people often do not calm down and focus on honing their physical body to cultivate this kind of technique.

Then there are those who work hard but lack the necessary qualifications and mentorship, resulting in very limited achievements.

Gendagawa's training of his demon back muscles is similar. Tomoko is an external cheat, but she can't be used to train muscles. At most, she can give some electric shocks to promote muscle growth.

Simply put, this method is time-consuming and laborious, and it may take a long time for the muscles to develop properly, which he may not be able to wait for.

Every action leaves a trace. After this move, he knew in his heart that it would definitely attract the attention of some people, especially Ashida Kensaku.

Although he was in the operating room at the time, his every move outside the operating room was under Tomoko's surveillance, and he could see it all clearly.

That guy clearly had a lot of knowledge about the so-called mutants, and after ending his conversation with Eri, he left in a hurry, most likely to retrieve the bald monster's corpse.

In fact, he later went to the place where he had killed the bald monster. The body was gone, and the scene had been handled very professionally, leaving virtually no trace.

However, this also means that the other party should have already made a preliminary assessment of my strength.

However, the other party was unaware that this was also within his calculations, or rather, his failure to prevent Eri from contacting the other party was actually intentional.

The other party represents the official authorities, and it's a good thing to let the authorities understand our value appropriately.

Moreover, once the other party receives the monster's corpse, those rats hiding in the shadows will make a misjudgment, believing that the monster's death was due to the authorities' intervention, and will not turn their attention back to themselves.

However, this is ultimately just a delaying tactic. The most important thing is to increase combat strength as soon as possible. This time-consuming and laborious method cannot be chosen for the time being.

Then there's the second method, which is to neutralize the malevolent energy in the Moon Breathing!

When he used the Breath of the Moon to activate the sword technique of Water Breathing, there was a wonderful sense of fluidity. Although he used the Breath of the Moon to make moves at that time, his use of the Breath of the Moon was actually very crude.

In reality, when the lungs are working, it's mostly water breathing.

In other words, at that time, his lungs were filled with the energy of water breathing, but he was actually practicing lunar breathing.

Only when the water and the moon blend together can we see the moon's reflection in Mirror Lake!

If you combine Water Breathing and Moon Breathing, you can use the gentleness of water to neutralize the sharpness and ferocity of Moon Breathing, which can damage your internal organs. You can also reduce the wear and tear of using Moon Breathing without diminishing the sharpness of the Moon Blade, thus extending the duration of the battle!

After repeated attempts, he finally confirmed the correctness of this idea.

When using the Breath of the Moon, if the lungs contain the energy of the Breath of Water, it can indeed protect the lungs and prevent the body from being damaged.

However, the problem is that the energy of Water Breathing is completely exhausted after using Moon Breathing once. Unless you use Water Breathing again to accumulate energy, you can use Moon Breathing again without getting hurt.

In other words, if you want to use Moon Breathing without side effects, you need to run Water Breathing for a while beforehand to preheat the lungs, which is like an engine, and apply a protective film.

Once the protective film is exhausted, it needs to be replenished again by applying a new layer of paint to replenish the Moon Breathing energy and use Moon Breathing techniques.

This is amazing!

In that case, the combat efficiency would be too low. Anyone who plays games knows that if the pre-cast animation of an ultimate skill is too long, it can kill you!

Moreover, the real battle, like the one against that bald monster, was extremely fast-paced, with many clashes occurring in an instant.

In a situation like this, there's no time for you to switch back and forth, or to exploit bugs.

Therefore, the only solution is to have the benefits while avoiding the drawbacks, which requires practicing two breathing techniques simultaneously, that is, multitasking!

This is similar to Zhou Botong's ambidextrous fighting style in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, where he can draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right, allowing him to do two things at the same time.

He could sense that once it reached absolute power, it would be like the Little Dragon Girl in The Return of the Condor Heroes who learned this move. Originally, her strength was only around second-rate, but once she learned it, she used two sword techniques in her hands in combination, and her combat power exploded. Even the Golden Wheel Monk was no match for her.

I originally thought it would be extremely difficult and that I would have a hard time mastering it.

However, after trying it out, I found that multitasking wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. Diverting my attention to do some simple things was a piece of cake.

For example, using two knives at the same time to cut different fruits into different shapes, or writing with both hands at the same time and writing different words.

There's also a skill that students love most: looking at their phones while reading textbooks—a perfect blend of learning and entertainment!

However, practicing two breathing techniques simultaneously is extremely difficult.

It was extremely difficult and full of stumbles, just like standing a hundred meters in the air, holding a bamboo pole of uneven thickness, and dancing on a tightrope. Every step was extremely difficult.

However, it was only after Tomoko mastered deep immersion and influenced her own brain, allowing her to easily discard distractions and multitask, that her true power was revealed.

The two breathing methods, like two parallel exhaust systems, flow continuously through the lungs.

The breath of water is gentle, flowing, and ever-renewing, while the breath of the moon is both yin and yang, yet powerful and sharp. The two complement each other, reaching a level of unparalleled wonder!

【Second Type: Pearl Flower Moon Dance】!

He attacked again, this time using the second form of Moon Breathing. This move is equivalent to a continuous first form, with sword energy mixed with small crescent-shaped air blades, instantly forming a large area of ​​attack, like layers of waves, making it impossible to dodge or avoid.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something, and his body reacted immediately. He slightly turned his palm, and the sword blade slid off the blade like flowing water. Then, his body followed the sword.

The sword was drawn, and the figure moved with it, becoming a blur. In the blink of an eye, he was at the gate, the blade resting on a slender neck. The owner of the neck was none other than a stunningly beautiful woman. In an instant, life and death hung by a thread between the two!

Chapter 108 The Explosive Popularity of Yuko Ikezawa

"What? Wow!"

The stunningly beautiful woman was stunned. It took her two seconds to react before she burst into tears, her trembling tears falling freely as if they were free.
