I can evolve everything

Chapter 105 The Growth of Skill

Renn stared silently at his arm, which was not yet fully recovered, and clenched his fist in the air, lost in thought.

At this moment, a thoughtful light flickered in Raine's eyes as he recalled that sword strike.

Looking back now, the feeling of that sword strike was quite peculiar.

In the instant he swung his sword, to prevent his right arm from completely exploding, he subconsciously did something.

He did not pour life energy directly into his entire arm as he had done before.

At that moment, under the pressure of life and death, he seemed to see the complex blood vessels and muscles inside his arm.

With the now highly evolved "Black Rock Breathing Technique," he has gained a deep understanding of the breathing technique, and subconsciously, he controls the direction of the flow of life energy.

He directed all his life energy to a few major blood vessels and muscles in his arm. He subconsciously blocked the other smaller blood vessels.

The originally dispersed life energy is compressed into a more precise and efficient form.

"It's not just about infusion—"

Raine muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the arm.

"It's a loop."

He closed his eyes, temporarily entering a meditative state, his consciousness sinking into the misty corridors deep within his mind.

He walked to the wall where his attributes were engraved and noticed something new behind the skills section:

[Gambling Skills (Proficient)], [Street Fighting (Beginner)], [Knight's Basic Swordsmanship: Iron Wall Stance]

Straight Chop (Proficient), Half-Step Crushing Sword (Proficient)】, 【Black Rock Breathing Technique: Heart, Bones, Organs, Torso, Limbs】, 【Breathing Technique: Targeted Infusion (Beginner)】

Now, his understanding of [targeted infusion] seems to have reached a new level, and it has been successfully recorded on this wall.

Renn had a vague feeling that if he could master this technique, and if he could use it not just on his right arm, but on his entire body...

For example, when swinging a sword, only strengthen the arms and waist, while when running, only strengthen the legs and heart and lungs.

That way, you won't need to overuse breathing techniques every time, and your body won't become completely weak.

Energy utilization will double, while damage to the body will be greatly reduced.

"Is this... meticulous observation?"

Ryan suddenly opened his eyes and picked up a piece of gravel at his feet.

This time, he did not activate the "Black Rock Breathing Technique" to mobilize the life energy of his entire body.

It was just a fleeting thought.

My heart skipped a beat, and a surge of life energy instantly traveled along my collarbone, upper arm, and forearm, precisely reaching my fingertips.

Snapped.

The piece of gravel instantly turned into powder at his fingertips.

He did not emit the characteristic white aura that was associated with activating the breathing technique, and he felt almost nothing in his arm, only a slight tingling sensation in his fingertips.

Raine chuckled softly as he watched the stone dust spill between his fingers.

He almost lost his life in this battle.

But besides defending [Shattered Tooth Canyon], he also gained a lot personally.

That sense of control over power made him feel that his strength could reach a new level.

Just give him time —

Once this technique is fully perfected—

When he finally faces the Warg King, he might be more confident.

"Not enough—"

Renn clenched his fist, feeling the power surging in his palm.

"It needs to be even stronger."

Four days later.

The winds of the North seem never to stop.

But after several days of cleaning, the bloody smell of the monsters in [Shattered Tooth Canyon] finally dissipated.

Countless monster corpses burned in the open space outside the canyon, and several campfires had been burning for three days and three nights.

Raine stood on the terrace of the stone tower, holding a small ball in his hand to help him regain his grip strength.

"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred."

He loosened his grip and looked at his palm.

Thanks to Vina's continued treatment, the swelling in her originally purplish-blue right arm has now subsided considerably.

Although some bruises still remain on the skin surface, and the muscles still feel a little sore and numb when exerting force, it has basically healed.

After practicing the "Black Rock Breathing Technique," Rein's recovery ability was stronger than he had imagined.

The damaged blood vessels are constantly repairing themselves, and this overuse of breathing techniques has actually made the arm a bit thicker.

"If you squeeze that ball again, I'll put it in your soup."

A lazy voice came from behind. Ella was sitting on the wall, carefully polishing her short sword.

"This thing feels good in the hand." Ryan tossed the ball around. "If you want it, I can give it to you."

"No thanks." Ella pouted, holding up her dagger to the sunlight. "Someone's coming. Three riders, no, five."

Raine followed her gaze.

On the winding mountain road at the entrance of the canyon, several warhorses were slowly making their way through the snow.

The leader was wearing plate armor; he was clearly Valen.

Behind him followed Knight Garrick and a burly middle-aged knight, all of whom were formal knights that Renn had met at the meeting.

Ryan's face returned to seriousness as he walked downstairs.

"Open the door."

Even after four days, traces of the battlefield still remain in [Shattered Tooth Canyon], especially the mountains of monster corpses and ashes.

Especially that large pit that was still conspicuous even when covered by snow.

"By the God of Justice—" Valen dismounted, his boots crunching on the snow. "Raine, it seems you've made the biggest commotion here. Did you bury a dragon here?"

“It’s Thales,” Raine said calmly, stepping forward. “He’s sacrificed himself.”

Valen paused for a moment, then fell silent.

He looked at the large crater, took off his helmet, revealing a tired face.

"That greedy bastard? — Well, it seems I misjudged him."

The group entered the stone tower, rested briefly, and then began to share their experiences.

"How's the situation?" Ryan asked bluntly.

He noticed that Garrick's left arm was in a sling across his chest, with blood seeping through the bandage, and the middle-aged knight was in no better shape.

"Not too bad, but definitely not good either."

Valen explained carefully, "I spent two days covering all the surrounding locations. Thanks to your plan, we managed to hold onto all the outposts around here."

"But—" his voice lowered, "there were still losses."

"Um?"

"Knight Dolan," Garrick continued, "He single-handedly held off hundreds of monsters to force his way out of the monster horde, allowing the others to continue their breakout. When the monster tide ended, they only found half of his body."

"

A brief silence fell over the hall.

"And Jori," Valen added, "that kid who's only been a full knight for less than two years. He was too reckless while chasing the dire wolf and fell off a cliff with it."
