Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Chapter 213 Taking Fire from the Ashes

Lorne spent three whole days in the laboratory, browsing various materials related to energy balance, enriching his knowledge base, and gaining some understanding of this subject.

During breaks, one either cultivates the Heavenly River True Qi or practices Tai Chi. This place is still too cramped, making it impossible to fully utilize the Nine Dragons Technique.

It can be said that the biggest problem with the delicate dynamic balance formed in the body is that it requires mental effort to maintain, otherwise it will collapse.

After repeated deliberation and reflection, he discovered that a crucial factor determining the success of dynamic energy balance lies in [the following text is incomplete and requires further context].

Tianhe Zhengang.

This extremely cold and heavy internal energy cultivation method, in its third stage, is the River of Heaven, which opens up all the meridians in the body and forms a large cycle with the star core.

By connecting the images on the Tai Chi diagram, these two martial arts styles are somehow linked together.

Dynamic equilibrium, circulation, celestial energy, boiling blood and qi...

Two completely different energies need to be guided by the mind to form a slight confrontation in a localized area, and achieve a fragile balance in the confrontation.

However, focusing on a single aspect is ultimately too one-sided; to completely resolve the conflict between constitutions, it is necessary to extend the discussion to the entire body.

At first, Lorne hadn't figured out how to deal with it, until he accidentally came into contact with the third stage of the fundamental principles, the River of Heaven, while meditating in the Heavenly River True Qi, and suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Academic research and martial arts training have some similarities, but one requires rigorous data to verify and establish, while the other only requires personal understanding and experimentation.

Lorne, who has some talent in martial arts, found that academic research was not a difficult thing, probably because he had not yet come into contact with the profound ones.

His current understanding of academic research is to take his own insights into something, accumulate data, prove it with charts and graphs, and then present them.

Compared to mastering a martial art, it involves more complicated steps later on.

After reading through many explanations that emphasized energy balance, Lorne returned to the lounge next to the laboratory, sat down cross-legged, and was eager to try it out.

Now that he has a certain understanding of energy balance, rashly trying to break that relative balance will not cause too much of a problem; at most, it will just require redirecting the two energies.

This means that practicing the Flame Breathing Technique will not lead to severe imbalance or cause more problems.

Following this thought, Lorne immediately took out the "Ember Flame Breathing Technique" from his Moonlight Bag and activated the Frostfire Ring with his mental power to avoid any problems during cultivation.

With his current mental energy reserves, he can maintain the Frostfire Ring for several hours. During this time, he can at least focus on studying this breathing technique.

Once everything was ready, he opened some old booklets.

In the epic tales of knights pursuing power and glory, they worshipped the rising sun, believed in the undying sacred fire, and sang praises to the burgeoning power of life.

Then, the hottest flames are often the dying embers; the most resilient are always the scorched earth after the fire is completely burned.

This is not a breathing technique that focuses on gentle energy accumulation, but an extremely cruel secret art of physical tempering.

Lorne glanced through it and found that this was not a true breathing technique, unlike the Wind Whisper Breathing Technique, which simply involved guiding airflow after practice.

Instead, it involves a wider range of techniques and leans towards one-off bursts of power.

Simply put, it's a method to stimulate qi and blood, which is very familiar to him.

Essentially, the Ember Flame Breathing Technique is not much different from other martial arts that stimulate qi and blood; the only difference is the method of stimulation.

Practitioners use a unique breathing rhythm to stimulate and guide the body's Qi and blood when their blood and Qi are boiling.

When physical strength is exhausted and there is no strength left to support the fight, when one is on the verge of their limit, they burn the blood energy within their body, and a surge of energy emerges that supports them to continue fighting, surpassing their limits.

Its source of power is the life potential squeezed out by the cultivator from the "ashes" formed by fatigue and injury after repeatedly pushing their limits.

The biggest difference between knights and wizards in this world is that knights cannot manipulate energy particles, nor can they influence the real world with their will.

This forces them to seek other methods to reach the so-called extraordinary.

Since they couldn't find a way from the outside, their focus naturally fell on the physical body. Tempering the body and stimulating its potential became their goal.

They don't have the concept of internal energy cultivation, nor do they have a high pursuit of physical strength, and they don't have a reasonable way of training.

Having prior knowledge of stimulating Qi and blood, the "Ember Flame Breathing Technique" wasn't particularly difficult for Lorne to understand.

At most, it will take some time to understand which principle is used to activate blood and qi and stimulate potential.

Two hours later, his mental energy was nearly half depleted, and Lorne had gained a fairly good understanding of the breathing technique.

The most important thing is the breathing rhythm, which is mainly manifested in three deep breaths that stimulate the blood and qi throughout the body.

Add to that a brief burst of energy, like igniting gunpowder, instantly igniting the body's blood and energy.

Then, five slow breaths allowed the scorching energy to circulate rapidly throughout the body, and finally, a long exhale relieved the immense pressure caused by the process.

Before practicing this breathing technique, it is best to be in a hot and dry environment to stimulate the flow of qi and blood.

Lorne closed the book of "Ember Flame Breathing Technique," a flash of understanding crossing his eyes.

The core of this breathing technique lies in adversity and rebirth. Through a special breathing rhythm, when the body is on the verge of its limit, it forcibly squeezes out deeper life potential, like rekindling a flame in ashes.

This is somewhat different from the way he knew about burning blood and qi.

The burning of vital energy in martial arts can lead to many problems and significant side effects, such as reduced vitality and shortened lifespan.

The "Ember Breathing Technique" is like a weakened version, triggered by a regular breathing rhythm, making it more gentle.

Both seek instantaneous bursts of energy, possessing the characteristics of "burning" and "burst".

In a sense, it is a perfect match for the [Boiling Blood] ability, as both are bursts of energy, and Boiling Blood can temporarily and significantly enhance bodily functions.

This breathing technique can extract more life potential, and in critical moments, it can undoubtedly prolong the duration of boiling blood.

Two overlapping!

Lorne immediately attempted to practice the "Ember Flame Breathing Technique," quickly activating the Boiling Blood state.

Take a deep breath and then breathe slowly and steadily.

The first deep breath expanded the chest cavity, and the mind guided the blood throughout the body to accelerate slightly.

With a second, deeper breath, the blush on her rosy skin deepened, and her body temperature began to rise even higher.

The third inhalation was long and powerful, as if trying to draw all the surrounding air into the lungs.

In that instant, Lorne felt as if his blood had been ignited, boiling over...
