Chapter 23

“Blue Spirit Breath.”

This name was not very good, but at least it was longer than “breathing method”.

Well, adhering to the principle that long was good, this name was decided.

As for the specific content, he needed time to think about it.

When buying knowledge from the Evolving Sandbox Table, there was no specific text content. It just magically injected a stream of information into your mind.

If he wanted to spread it around and let ordinary people understand it, the first thing he needed to do was to clearly write down the instructions.

This was not difficult. According to Lin Tuo’s experience, the so-called “breathing method” was just a way of breathing with a unique rhythm.

By deliberately adjusting people’s breathing rhythm, they could achieve a state of calmness.

Then, the existence of Ether would be vaguely sensed and it would be absorbed.

After hesitating, Lin Tuo decided to write in a relatively simple and straightforward language instead of using traditional characters.

Although the latter was more compelling, the amount of people who could understand it would be very little.

“Ka chak ka chak…”¹

It took more than three hours to finally write the first draft of “Blue Spirit Breathing”.

‘Next is the question of how to spread the manual..‘

Lin Tuo let out a sigh and started thinking about the next step.

If he wanted to quickly attract human attention, it was actually very simple. He could just switch to Observation Mode and perform some miracles.

It would have an outstanding effect.

It was guaranteed to spread all over the world within a night.

But the problem was that this scheme had many hidden dangers.

‘If I use a miracle-like method, it will inevitably arouse high attention. Not only will it disturb the people, but it will also increase the probability of being found out…”

In addition, Lin Tuo had another consideration.

That is, although in theory this plan would work, he was not sure what the effect will be after the implementation. If the trouble was too big, once a problem occurred, it would be difficult to control the situation.

In contrast, referring to any project in history, it was best to conduct a test.

It was safe to try first in a single area, test the effects, then fill in any gaps.

As for the location of this test, it was obviously Yangcheng.

Regardless though, once it spreads, with the Internet the “Blue Spirit Breathing” method would certainly spread quickly across the country. As long as the initial interest was small enough, it would be safe for a while.

This plan should also cover at least some part of Yangcheng, otherwise it would be ineffective.

‘Perhaps, the identity of this mysterious warrior in the Taihe Mountains can be used appropriately.‘

After thinking for a while, Lin Tuo gradually had a plan in his mind.

…

While Lin Tuo was hiding in his study to write the exercises, all afternoon, news about Taklimakan’s black box blasting experiment was revealed.

The hot spots of global concern have to be made public in many cases.

This immediately caused a new round of sensation.

You know, before this, there were still many people who firmly believed that thermal weapon blasting was the last and most effective method.

Many people were believed that once bombed, the so-called black box would inevitably fall.

This was not without merit, but based on people’s understanding of the power of thermal weapons in the past.

However, the results of this morning’s experiment ruthlessly announced a fact.

With the current technology of mankind, this barrier really couldn’t be broken.

“I’m a little panicked, what kind of alien technology is this?”

“Did the aliens from our solar system finally appear? Have we been targeted by higher civilizations in the universe? What do they want to do?”

On the Internet, similar sentiments began to emerge.

All fear stemmed from the unknown.

At present, the unknowability of the entire “Taklimakan Black Box” naturally made many people feel terrified.

Of course, some people still insisted, saying that this was just because the explosives were not powerful enough. As long as the amount was increased, it would definitely break through.

Some people even called for nuclear weapons to be used whenever necessary to detonate from high altitudes and explode on the black box.

In short, on the Internet, waves were surging.

However, the people in Yangcheng unexpectedly didn’t care much about it. They had something more worthy of attention.

After all, the Taklimakan’s black box wsa too far away from them, and the “Taihe Mountain Mysterious Warrior” was close at hand.

If it was before the black box, most people would watch this kind of video just as a joke, but in light of current events, people would inevitably feel a little more worried.

Especially in the evening, similar discussions flooded local group chats.

There were all kinds of speculations about the mysterious warrior, and some people claimed they would go to to the video shooting location tomorrow to find him.

…

After a whole night of newfound popularity, Zhou Mo left home and boarded the morning bus in the downtown area until the next morning. She was surprised to find that the bus was full of discussions about her video.

“Did you watch that video?”

“The Mysterious Warrior of Taihe Mountain?”

“Correct.”

“Is the video real or not?”

“Who knows..”

On the bus, in a window seat, Zhou Mo quietly listened to the conversation around her, and her heart was filled with inexplicable pleasure.

As the uploader of that widely circulated video, Zhou Mo was in a state of excitement all day yesterday.

Refresh after refresh, she was watching the increasing data.

Reply after reply to private messages and she partcipated in multiple discussions.

Later, friends and even relatives in reality sent messages and asked her whether the video was real.

So that night, she did not fall asleep until two or three in the morning.

In the morning, she woke up again and she was not sleepy.

“Shanshan, I have already gone outside, have you come out yet?” Thinking of this, Zhou Mo picked up her phone and sent a message to her friend.

Today, Saturday, the two agreed to go to the city center for a day out.

They’d have a meal and celebrate.

After all, the video was a smash hit, and it was indeed worth remembering.

“I’m coming out, don’t rush me, lady! By the way, are you wearing a coat? The temperature is a bit low today.”

Seeing the reply, Zhou Mo smiled and replied, “Yes, I’m wearing one.”

She then put down her phone and turned her head to look out of the car window.

The temperature today was indeed a bit low.

The weather forecast clearly stated that it was fine today, but since early mornign, the sky across the city suddenly became gloomy.

Large swaths of thick clouds flew in from a distance, covering the pale sun.

Not only that, there was a layer of fog in the city.

The temperature also dropped a lot.

Ordinarily, this season, even in the morning and evening, there would rarely be fog. Of course, there was a few times it had happened before, but it was relatively rare.

The misty fog blew from the direction of the Taihe Mountains and engulfed most of the city.

Most of the citizens who went out put on their coats and suddenly the city looked like it was in autumn.

It was weird.

While thinking, the bus came along her street and came to the downtown area.

Zhou Mo got up, and as soon as she got out of the bus, she saw her friend waiting nearby.

The girl who was looking down at the phone not far away raised her head.

Unlike Zhou Mo, who had a fair and pretty style, Jiang Yishan’s skin tone was wheatish. She had curly hair and was wearing a trademark plaid shirt, which was very easy to recognize in a crowd.

“On the bus, everyone was talking about the mysterious warrior.”

“It was the same with my bus. I didn’t expect so many people to pay attention.”

The two talked while walking towards the downtown business district.

Probably because it was Saturday, there were already a lot of people on the downtown commercial street in Yangcheng City. The stores had already opened too, but…

“Do you feel that the fog here is thicker?” Walking on the street, Zhou Mo couldn’t help frowning.

Yes, for some reason, in the center of the city, the busiest neighborhood, the fog here was thicker than elsewhere, and there were gusts of cool breeze.

Even the billboards on the building looked a little fuzzy.

Boom!

And just as the two of them were puzzled, suddenly, they heard a sharp sound somewhere in the sky in front of them.

“What was that sound?”

“Over there!”

On the commercial street, the people walking were all startled and then looked at where the sound was coming from.

Zhou Mo and Jiang Yishan also looked it blankly, and then they heard an exclamation from under the building in front of them.

“What are they doing!”

“Look!”

“On the top of the building! On the top! Someone’s there!!”

Those in the distance, unable to see the specific situation, gathered together curiously. The two girls looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

Is someone going to jump off the building?

Thinking about it, the two were busy rushing forward with the flow of people.

This was the business district square. Soon, a large crowd of citizens gathered together, raised their heads, and looked towards the top of a certain building.

Zhou Mo stopped and looked up. Then, to her surprise, she found that there was a figure standing at the top of the tall building, on the edge of the roof.

He seemed to be wearing a training suit, covering his head and face, and beside him was a huge stone monument taller than a human!

“He… is…”

Zhou Mo was startled at first, then her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Jiang Yishan next to her also reacted similarly, blurting out.

“The mysterious warrior?!”

Even if you couldn’t see him, the familiar stone tablet beside him almost immediately reminded countless people in the square of the “Mysterious Warrior of Taihe Mountain” in the video.

“It’s him?”

“The person in the video?”

“Wasn’t that fake?”

“No… it’s real…”

There was a riot in the square. There was a lot of chatter, and some people picked up their mobile phones to shoot a video.

But at this moment, everyone felt that the mist around them was violently rolling. A gust of breeze blew from nowhere and the mist moved, the atmosphere became more and more weird.

In the next second, the figure on the tall building suddenly raised his hand and lifted the huge stone tablet.

Immediately after, he exhaled and made a sound. He threw the tablet straight to the center of the square!

“W-what!”

“Be careful!!”

“Move out of the way!”

Seeing this scene, everyone was on high alert and wanted to escape subconsciously.

Once that huge stone tablet broke through the air, passing straight over the crowd, it actually hit the flowerbed in the center of the square with a bang!

*Boom*

The dull impact caused another round of exclamations. The stone tablet was timid and almost fell.

Zhou Mo and Jiang Yishan approached subconsciously, their hearts trembled at the same time.

Turning her head to look at the place where the stone tablet fell, immediately she was surprised to find that on the huge stone tablet, there were many words carved on it!

Very dense, but clearly distinguishable!

And at the top of these words, there was a particularly conspicuous line of writing.

“Blue Spirit… Breathing Technique?”²

She was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly turned her head and looked at the top of the building again.

But she only saw the empty rooftop and the mist slowly dissipating.

There was no trace of the mysterious warrior?

…

On this day, in the center of Yangcheng city, a mysterious warrior appeared. Spreading strange techniques, thousands of people witnessed it. Later, the whole city shook!
