"Who would have thought that the chip's analysis function would also be effective for the knight's breathing technique in this world!" Leilin exclaimed, "Optimize it immediately!"
"Optimization started, estimated time: 125 minutes."
"Alright, 125 minutes, that's a bit over two hours. I can wait!" Leilin seemed to be relieved.
As he waited with some anxiety, finally, two hours passed, and the chip's voice rang out on time: "Breathing technique optimization complete, runtime shortened by 5 minutes and 23 seconds, all effects improved by 5%! Aftereffects of bodily damage eliminated!"
"Very good!" This result was very satisfying for Leilin.
A 5% improvement in one session means that after dozens or even hundreds of sessions, the gap would be enormous.
"Legend has it that this Cross Sword Technique and its accompanying breathing technique were obtained from the body of a knight after dozens of bloody battles by the first clan leader. Among many knight families, it can be considered above average!"
"And after the chip's optimization, this breathing technique probably rivals the secret manuals of small kingdoms!"
Leilin thought to himself and then said impatiently, "Chip, transmit the optimized breathing technique to my memory area!"
The chip faithfully executed the command, filling Leilin's mind with numerous scenes of practicing the breathing technique.
After a few minutes of transmission, Leilin rubbed his head, "A bit dizzy, but that's normal!"
At this moment, his mind was filled with a large amount of memory related to practicing the breathing technique, along with various experiences that would help him avoid many detours compared to ordinary people.
"I didn't realize it before, but here, with the chip, I have a significant advantage over ordinary people!"
Leilin muttered, "With the chip, through simulation and analysis, I can instantly obtain the experience that others would need to bleed and struggle for ten years to gain. I just need to follow the chip's prompts and proceed in the most correct direction!"
Practicing the breathing technique has many taboos, some of which cannot be felt through verbal descriptions.
One must personally practice and take some detours before realizing them.
However, all of these were avoided through the chip's modeling and analysis.
"Let's give it a try!" Leilin thought, lying down on the ground in a spread-eagle position.
According to the description of the breathing technique and the chip's suggestions, when practicing the Cross Sword Technique's breathing method, no special movements are required; just find a position that feels most comfortable.
"First, hold your breath for 65 seconds, then perform three long and one short breaths, with the length and frequency being..."
Leilin followed the description of the breathing technique and gradually entered a state of practice.
It seemed as if he fell into a deep sleep, but his face was flushed, and his temples were pulsing, as if he were undergoing some kind of exercise.
As time passed, Leilin's face became increasingly red, and finally, a light black sweat began to flow.
This process lasted about twenty minutes, and Leilin opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Whoosh!
A long breath, carrying black gas, was exhaled.
His body also made cracking sounds.
Leilin got up, moved his limbs, and felt a warm sensation all over, as if he had just undergone intense exercise.
"Chip, display my physical data!" Leilin commanded.
"Leilin Farrell: Strength: 0.4, Agility: 0.5, Constitution: 0.4, Status: Lightly Injured"
Leilin's expression remained unchanged, "Change the data display mode, precise to ten decimal places, and compare it with the data before practice."
Following Leilin's command, the screen in front of him flashed, and the data representing his physical attributes extended to nine more decimal places, with the last three digits continuously changing.
"Ding! Through comparison, after knight training, the subject's strength increased by 0.005, agility by 0.006, and constitution by 0.004," the chip faithfully responded.
"Hmm! Since it's the first practice, the data is still rising!" Leilin analyzed.
"Just 20 minutes of practice, and the increase in data is quite significant. As long as I persist, reaching the physical data of the black-robed men is just a matter of time!"
"In that case, those dozen black-robed men are knights!"
Leilin thought to himself, "Unfortunately, according to my memory and the chip's analysis, the breathing technique has practice limits. The breathing technique passed down by the Farrell family can only be practiced once a day. More than that would not only be ineffective but also harmful to the body!"
"Chip, is there any way to allow me to practice the breathing technique multiple times a day?" Leilin asked.
"Medication is required!" the chip responded.
"List the required medications!"
"Quinine, Mact21, Magnesium Peroxide..." The chip listed a long list of drug names, all of which were from Leilin's previous life.
"Can other drugs or plant components be used as substitutes?" This was clearly impossible, and Leilin frowned, asking.
"Samples need to be provided for drug analysis; current data is insufficient!" the chip prompted.
"As long as there's a way, that's good!" Leilin breathed a sigh of relief.
He then looked at his body, which was covered in a large amount of dirt from practicing the breathing technique, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
Leilin frowned, "I guess I need to take a bath!"
Exiting the carriage, it was already midnight, and the noble young men were sound asleep in their tents. Leilin quietly left the carriage and ran towards a nearby stream.
"Warning! A human is approaching!" the chip warned.
Leilin pretended not to notice and continued walking.
"What are you doing?" a voice came from behind Leilin.
"Wow, that was fast!" Leilin's pupils contracted, "I was already cautious, but I still couldn't detect how he got behind me. If he had any bad intentions, I would have no way to resist!"
On the surface, he acted as if he was startled, "Ah... who? Who?"
Turning around, he saw the black-robed man who had distributed food during the day. Leilin remembered his name was Angrey.
"Y-You... Good evening, Lord Angrey! I just felt a bit dirty and wanted to take a bath!" Leilin's face was pale, as if he had been frightened, and his speech was somewhat hesitant.
"Bathing?" Angrey frowned, sniffing, and indeed detected an odor from Leilin.
"Alright! It's dangerous at night, especially for you noble young men! Hurry up and wash and come back!"
Angrey, in black robes, turned and walked back to the center of the carriages, where his tent was.
"Thank you for the warning, Lord Angrey!" Regardless of whether he heard, Leilin bowed.
Caution was always his way of life.
Seeing Angrey leave, Leilin took a step towards the stream.
After entering his tent, Angrey pulled down his hood, revealing a face split in two.
"Is this the impurities expelled from the body during knight breathing practice? What a nostalgic smell! Seeing these young ones reminds me of my own youthful days!"
"Unfortunately, if I had been a noble, I wouldn't have had to risk my life to obtain the knight training method, and end up like this..."
Angrey muttered, his figure blending with the tent, almost indistinguishable.
As Leilin walked, he casually picked wildflowers and grass by the roadside, sometimes even putting them in his mouth.
"I guess that black-robed Angrey must have noticed something, but it doesn't matter. It's perfectly normal for noble heirs to practice the knight breathing technique."
"Besides, with his knight's physical attributes, he must have his own breathing technique and wouldn't be interested in mine. If he wants it, I can just copy it for him..."
Given the significant difference in strength, Leilin had no intention of keeping the Farrell family's secrets.
However, it seemed that Angrey also didn't care about the knight training method of a minor noble family.
The grass in his mouth had a bitter taste, but Leilin didn't mind, even feeling a bit nostalgic for his childhood.
"Analysis complete, no beneficial components found!" the chip's voice came.
"Pfft!" Leilin spat out the grass and switched to another plant.
"Record the form and components of the previous plant, and start the next analysis!" Leilin commanded in his mind.
"Task established! Collecting components! Simulation and experimental analysis in progress..." Through the screen in front of him, Leilin could clearly see the chip's progress.
"Ding! Experiment complete, unknown plant components have a slight numbing effect!"
"According to Leilin's memory, this is called Three-Night Grass, Chip! Name it Three-Night Grass and store it in the database!"
"Ding! Stored!"
"Hmm! This is 'Red Fruit,' and it tastes pretty good!" Leilin pushed aside a bush and found a few red fruits.
These fruits were only the size of Leilin's thumb, growing at the top of a vine covered in thorns, looking very beautiful.
Leilin carefully avoided the thorns and picked a red fruit.
Putting it in his mouth, he bit down, and a crisp sound was heard. Sweet juice was squeezed out, filling his mouth.
"Hmm! The texture is like an apple, but sweeter," Leilin commented.
"Chip! Analyze..."
...
On the way, Leilin stored data on over thirty types of plants, but unfortunately, none of them were useful to him.
Reaching the stream, the rushing water hit the rocks, making a sound that was particularly piercing in the quiet night.
"Chip! Scan the surrounding environment!" Leilin commanded. Even without Angrey's warning, he could rely on the chip to avoid danger.
"Ding! Surrounding environment scan complete! No dangerous situations detected within twenty miles!" the chip faithfully responded.
"Good, no danger. I don't want to be forced to run back to the camp for help halfway through my bath; that would make me the biggest laughingstock..."
Leilin muttered, took off his coat and undergarments, and entered the river naked.
The cold water made him shiver.
"This water is so cold, I'm starting to miss my old water heater!"
