"Deerhead Spirit...interesting, interesting!"
Fang Xing looked at the Deerhead Spirit, touching it here, prodding it there, with an appearance that scread his desire to study it further.
The others on the carriage, Wal and Sofia, were already stupefied.
Especially Wal!
He was deeply aware of how terrifying the Deerhead Spirit could be.
Yet, this particular Deerhead Spirit was rendered immobile under a circle of golden light, being flipped and examined?
Also, that aged head from before, it equally preoccupied his thoughts.
"That sorcerer of Sathari?"
Wal stepped forward and asked.
"He’s dead... If his only act was to drive the Deerhead Spirit here, I wouldn’t have had much of a plan... But that fool actually used a ritual to temporarily rge himself with the Deerhead Spirit for better control... So he can’t bla for tracing the connection back and hitting him."
Fang Xing shook his head.
"This Deerhead Spirit... You’ve only bound it temporarily... It would be great if there were a Divine Shepherd here now... Divine Shepherds are the most skilled at sealing spirits."
Wal remarked with so regret, "If we let the Deerhead Spirit roam, it will probably continue to wander in this region, causing trouble to passersby..."
"Don’t worry so much."
Fang Xing touched his forehead, the Great Sun Relics transford into a ray of Radiance, thoroughly enveloping the Deerhead Spirit.
And then... the Radiance flashed.
The original Deerhead Spirit vanished without a trace.
"Sealing? No..."
Wal’s expression turned very strange as he gazed at Fang Xing, "You... You couldn’t possibly be the Holy Son of the Radiant Church?"
As soon as he said this, Sofia’s cheeks flushed red.
It was well-known that while there were many Holy Daughters within the Radiant Church, there was only one Holy Son, often vacant, and he was seen as the embodint of God on Earth.
If she were chosen as a Holy Daughter, her primary duty would be to serve the Holy Son well.
"I don’t have any relationship with the Radiant Church."
Fang Xing shook his head, "Where are we going now? To Duncan City?"
"Let’s just go directly to the Golden City instead."
Wal looked at Sofia, "What do you think, noble lady?"
"I agree... But I might need to send a letter ho to explain the situation," Sofia hesitated.
...
The carriage continued on its journey.
Fang Xing and Wal sat in the driver’s seat.
This ti, Wal seed to have let down his guard a lot toward him, "Foreigner... your talent, no, you are blessed by God, naturally close to Radiance... You should go to the Radiant Church Court."
"Ahem, let’s not talk about that just yet... Could you let see your Knight Cultivation thod?"
Fang Xing coughed.
"Sure!"
After so thought, Wal suddenly smiled, "The Knight thod I practice starts from the Breathing Skill, and although outsiders call it the ’Cross Breathing thod’, within the Church, it’s generally referred to as the ’Saint Longinus Breathing thod’..."
"Saint Longinus? Could this be a saint of the Church?" Fang Xing asked.
"Yes, this saint was active during the downfall of the Bright Empire, he was the founder of the Church Knights..."
Wal spoke with a stern voice, sharing so details about Saint Longinus’s life, "After completing the tasks of the Divine, he ascended to sainthood, and has forever remained by God’s side..."
"So, the saints of the Radiant Church have not died?" Fang Xing picked up on a subtext in his words.
"How could a saint die?" Wal shook his head as if stating a simple fact.
"Alright, back to the Saint Longinus Breathing thod... It includes a series of movents, as well as dicine, ditation thods... in total, divided into four major levels: Micro Light, Initial Light, Dawn, and Blazing Sun!"
"To comprehend the Breathing Skill and consolidate the Combat Energy Seed is to enter the ’Micro Light’ Realm... to cultivate and amplify Combat Energy, enveloping the whole body, is ’Initial Light’... I am currently at this stage, and so I’m not quite clear about the states of ’Dawn’ and ’Blazing Sun’. However, the only Great Knight who reached the ’Dawn’ Realm used to be our forr captain..."
Wal sighed, seemingly nostalgic yet also reminiscent, "Aside from Saint Longinus... no one has brought this Breathing Skill to the ’Blazing Sun’ Realm."
"You’re teaching all this just like that?"
Fang Xing was sowhat surprised as he listened to Wal’s explanations, rembering his previous steadfast refusal.
"Your Knight Level is stronger than mine... much stronger."
Wal shook his head and smiled, "Even if I mastered another Breathing Skill, it would be a burden, not a benefit..."
In his heart, Wal was still stunned by that ray of Radiance: ’Could it be... this is the guidance of the Divine? Radiance has faded, Radiance returns... From the mont I left the Knight Order, everything has been ordained by the Divine?’
...
Several days later.
’I always feel like sothing’s off sohow...’
Fang Xing traveled alongside Wal and Sofia, sensing that there was sothing odd about them both.
But he didn’t concern himself too much with that.
The key was that, after receiving Wal’s explanations and personal demonstrations, he finally had complete understanding of the Saint Longinus Breathing thod and could begin to practice it.
But then strange things happened.
In the days that followed, Fang Xing put his heart into pondering but still could not even begin to grasp this breathing technique!
It must be known that he was not so ignorant young man, but a Martial Arts Golden Core!
With his physique, blood, and spirit... theoretically, there should be no Martial Arts that could stump him.
Unless... it wasn’t any ordinary Martial Arts!
...
On the road.
The carriage moved smoothly.
"Cultivation of a breathing skill is not an overnight matter. I was a knight apprentice for three years and later beca an attendant to a Gerong Knight, going through thirteen bloody battles. It was only during a battle that pushed to the limit that I finally condensed my Combat Energy Seed."
Wal, seeing Fang Xing striving hard, could not help but offer a word of comfort.
"I am just... considering an issue."
Fang Xing opened his eyes and shook his head, "Regarding the source of the breathing skill... do you think it cos from the body’s physique, blood... or sothing else?"
"I don’t understand this either, I can only share my own experience..."
Wal fell into contemplation, "That blood battle was extrely ferocious. I felt like I was about to shrivel up, but just at the mont I was about to fall, I saw... light!"
"Radiance?"
Fang Xing muttered to himself, but his heart had so enlightennt.
’In any world, one must first consider the source of the extraordinary...’
’In the Main Universe, power cos from technology, and the extraordinary cos from cosmic energy... In the Cultivation World, the extraordinary cos from Spiritual Energy...’
’But this world is different, it has no Spiritual Energy... Its extraordinary seems to be built upon sothing else—Evil God contamination!’
He sighed, suddenly understanding why he could not condense the ’Combat Energy Seed.’
’This is probably not any Combat Energy Seed, but the source of the Evil God’s power... it requires channeling the Evil God’s contamination into oneself, then refining it? Then... continuously absorbing the Evil God’s contamination, turning it into one’s own extraordinary power?’
’Even the Church´s’s top breathing skills are like this, not to ntion the others...’
’Pulling a thread of Evil God´s contamination as the seed, is that the way to get started?’
Fang Xing had a thought, and the Great Sun Relics between his brows emitted boundless light and heat. Within the rolling crimson, a red thread was pulled down, entering a certain spot in his lower abdon.
’The Knight Breathing Skill still has its advantages; the location for opening up the Sea of Fighting Energy is a deadly acupoint...’
’Although there is only one, compared to the Federation, this developnt of a single acupoint is ahead...’
Under the detection of his Spiritual Power, this spark of multicolor light burst instantly, turning into a vast, many-colored ocean.
And in the midst of the ocean, a thread of red fell, turning into a seed.
This seed appeared like a red heart, and with the ’heart’ beating, wisps and strands of Fighting Spirit surged out.
Throughout this process, Fang Xing was extrely cautious, ready to ’abandon his power’ at the first sign of trouble.
But soon, he discovered that although this thread of Fighting Spirit was volatile in nature, he could easily control it.
Because the Evil God’s contamination he had chosen as the ’Combat Energy Seed’ did not co from this world, but from the Great Sun Relics!
"Did it really work?"
Fang Xing had a thought and looked at the attribute bar.
There, at the very bottom of the attribute bar, a new line had suddenly appeared:
[Cross Breathing thod: 1/100 (Beginner)]
...
"I’ve made it to the beginner level!"
Not only that, but Fang Xing was sowhat staggered to see that the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’s light flashed and ’swallowed’ the Cross Breathing thod, signifying that ’Cross Breathing thod’ had taken on the sa status as Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm and Clone Technique, becoming a subsidiary category under the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra.
Its maximum level could not exceed that of the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra!
"But this also has its advantages... like being able to directly boost the breathing skill, after all, I still have ’Deer Head Spirit’, this portion of fuel, imprisoned within my Great Sun Relics."
Fang Xing opened his eyes and looked at his right hand.
At that mont, a sharp intent sudden appeared over his palm.
"This..."
Seeing this, Wal’s eyes widened, feeling as if his worldview had been shaken.
After all, he had risked his life barely surviving to learn the Breathing Skill and condense the Combat Energy Seed, and it took him several years.
But now, Fang Xing had simply achieved it in just a few days?
...
In the night.
Within the camp, the campfire blazed brightly.
Fang Xing glanced at Wal, who was guarding outside, then crawled into his tent and sat down cross-legged.
"Great Sun Tathagata Mantra... give a boost!"
Inside his brows, the Deer Head Spirit, which had been bound inside the ’Great Sun Furnace,’ scread and turned into a torch.
Following that was a series of crimson threads that poured into the freshly created ’Combat Energy Seed.’
On the attribute bar, the Rune representing ’Cross Breathing thod’ blurred and transford into—[Cross Breathing thod: 1/100 (Skilled)]
The Combat Energy Seed expanded suddenly, releasing a vast amount of Fighting Spirit that enveloped Fang Xing’s entire body.
In just an instant, he broke through from the ’Micro Light’ level of the Cross Breathing thod to the ’Initial Light’ Realm, allowing him to circulate the Fighting Spirit throughout his body, becoming a true ’Extraordinary Existence’!
