Douluo Continent: Pioneers of the Era, Gods in Parallel

Chapter 61 Breathing Techniques

Given the current situation, we cannot be too rigid.

What are these so-called "Old Six Tactics" or underhanded methods? As long as they are effective and provide an extra layer of security, any underhanded tactics learned online in my past life should be used without hesitation.

"Don't worry, Chief, I'll go and look at the books my grandmother left behind. I'll definitely find what you need."

Upon hearing what she could do for the team, Jiang Caiwei became excited.

Then he ran off to get busy.

Next, Zhou Yuan began forging the outer shell needed for the grenade.

After they finished their work, Manqian and the others had already prepared the food.

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content, one meditates and cultivates. Once one's mental energy feels fatigued, one then begins to forge it.

Every three days, they would try their best to strengthen the surrounding defenses.

Before we knew it, another five months had passed.

Zhou Yuan is now seven and a half years old.

His soul power has also broken through to level 20.

He was still somewhat dissatisfied with this promotion.

It took a year and a half to raise his cultivation to this level, which is indeed a bit slow.

Of course, this is from his perspective.

Anyone who could see the light screen in the sky was astonished by the speed at which Zhou Yuan's soul power increased.

Keep in mind that this was even while he was distracted by other things.

His living environment and the various dangers and difficulties he faced made it impossible for him to maintain a good state of cultivation.

Under such circumstances, to be able to improve so rapidly is something that countless people envy.

Of course, Zhou Yuan himself did not think so.

The soul power in the world during the era he lived in was extremely rich. He had also consumed thousand-year-old whale glue and ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, and absorbed soul rings beyond the limit, which greatly increased his soul power.

If the tribe still existed, with the care of his people, he was confident that he could raise his soul power to level 20 by the age of seven.

Now, both Manqian and Zhou Yanyan's soul power has been raised to level 18.

Manqian is the oldest among them, already eight and a half years old.

Zhou Yanyan is already eight years old.

The reason why Zhou Yanyan was able to surpass Man Qian was naturally because the age of her first soul ring far exceeded that of Man Qian, and the resulting increase in soul power directly surpassed Man Qian's six months of arduous training.

If Zhou Yanyan caught up with Man Qian by relying on the age of her first spirit ring, then Shi Hao relied purely on his talent.

In terms of age, Shi Hao is half a year younger than Zhou Yanyan, and his cultivation level has already reached level 18.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that he will break through to level 20 earlier than Manqian.

Besides his madness and hard work in cultivation, it was also due to his innate soul power.

With his innate soul power at level 9, he was inherently superior to others.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is destined to become a Title Douluo in the future.

Of course, his talent is still far inferior to Zhou Yuan's.

In comparison, Jiang Caiwei, who has a level 7 innate soul power, is obviously slower in her cultivation.

I only recently reached level 17.

In the past few months, in addition to cultivating, Zhou Yuan has also been constantly researching and manufacturing soul tools, and at the same time, he has been trying to explore ways to increase the speed of cultivation.

Optimizing meditation techniques is a difficult thing.

He was genuinely unfamiliar with these things.

I hadn't studied cultivation techniques in my previous life, and I didn't even know how many acupoints there were in the human body.

In this situation, he can only approach it from other angles.

That's the combination of the boxing techniques and breathing methods I learned in my previous life.

You know what, there's a trick to this stuff.

During this process, Zhou Yuan also noticed his own abnormality.

In his previous life, when he was learning martial arts, he accompanied his roommate to attend classes.

It's already quite an achievement to be able to remember this. As for what the teacher taught in the training class, I've long forgotten it.

But recently he has found that his mind is becoming increasingly sharp.

Some memories gradually became clearer.

If he's willing to think, many things will subconsciously surface in his mind.

The boxing style that my roommate and I went to audit a class to learn was a Xingyi Quan style. The boxing style itself didn't seem to improve me much, but the breathing exercises during the practice were very beneficial.

Although he hasn't fully figured it out yet, after practicing boxing with breathing techniques, his self-control has greatly improved, his condition has recovered quickly, and he can more easily enter a deep state during meditation.

And I always get very hungry after each boxing practice session.

The flesh of the soul beasts they ate seemed to be easier to digest, thus strengthening their physique while also providing a slight increase in soul power.

In contrast, the Tai Chi he learned in college seemed to have no effect, or perhaps the Tai Chi taught in school only had the moves and didn't incorporate breathing techniques, which is why it was ineffective.

It is certain that this breathing technique was of great help to him.

Zhou Yuan planned to explore it one more time, and once he had completely mastered it, he would teach it to Man Qian and the others.

It is best to combine breathing techniques with meditation.

Now that my soul power has reached level 20, it's time to hunt for my second soul ring.

Finally, after preparing to continue, the group of five set off.

Zhou Yuan was unaware that tremendous changes had taken place on the Douluo Continent over the past five months.

The most obvious change is that various factions have begun to research soul tools.

Among them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall are the most enthusiastic and have already achieved results.

Other forces also conducted research, but the manpower, resources, and money required were simply too much to sustain.

As the number one power on the continent, the Spirit Hall naturally has no shortage of money and resources, and it also has all kinds of soul masters. In addition, they are spread all over the continent, quickly collecting soul tools from various broken bodies and excavating ancient ruins. Their progress can be described as rapid. Besides the Spirit Hall, there is also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is not short of money.

Their method is simple, there's only one: throw money at it.

Anyway, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of money.

The difference is that the soul tools researched by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are all focused on offensive soul tools, while the soul tools researched by the Spirit Hall are all auxiliary and life-related.

Of course, it's also possible that the Spirit Hall's research on weapon-type soul tools has not been made public.

Judging by the quality of soul tools ten thousand years from now, Zhou Yuan has only just managed to develop a crude level 2 soul tool, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already developed a level 3 soul tool.

As for the Spirit Hall, there are even rumors that they have developed a level 4 soul tool. The reason is simple: someone in the Spirit Hall had previously researched soul tools.

Besides these two major forces, the Blacksmith Association is the most enthusiastic about soul tools.

In this process, they clearly saw a clear direction for the blacksmith's status to be elevated or transformed.

Unfortunately, researching soul tools is too expensive.

Therefore, these professional soul masters are actually inferior to the soul masters of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
