Eric continued to write, "Slowly, your body and mind will adapt to the breathing technique, eventually reaching the stage where what you breathe normally was your breathing technique."
It was undeniable that Ixcahua received a wave of excruciating pain when he reincarnated into the body of Eric. However, he could not just change his "normal breath" because it would take time to change his normal breath to his breathing technique.
He continued to write after recalling the past, "With the Iron Heart Breathing technique, your bones, muscles, and skin will be strengthened like a tempered steel–not including the effect of the Metal Morph yet.
It enhances your affinity with the metal elements, enabling you to continue evolving without instability–the chances of you mutating in the future as you attain a higher stage will reduce significantly…"
Eric continued to write while trying to be as objective as possible. However, there were times he shared his sentiments, especially his experience, to provide detailed information regarding breathing techniques.
The next part was the breath control mechanics. He continued to write, "Inhale deeply and slowly, visualizing yourself sucking molten metal to the core. Naturally, you will inhale not only oxygen but energy as well, so you must hold it, compress the energy, as you visualize the energy reinforcing your body structure like a metal forging process.
Then, exhale in a short forceful burst to sharpen your form. Repeat it in a slow and powerful manner, like a hammer striking an anvil."
Eric even went as far as drawing a detailed body structure, even a network where the energy would flow. He called it, energy network, which was inspired by the meridian network. Furthermore, he stated that the energy would also flow in the Evolution Crystal, to which he discovered its location after awakening, in the dantian. Similar to the murim world, it was called the energy core, like the qi core.
Once he was finished, writing almost in fifteen pages, taking spaces and trying to be as detailed and neat as possible, he ended it with a quote, "With each breath, you forge yourself anew. Metal bends, hardens, and sharpens within you."
A smile appeared on his face after he closed the book. He estimated it only took him to finish–drawing and writing. Thankfully, his writing style and even the design was not a mess, he practiced handwriting and drawing before, so he did not face any difficulties during the process.
It was now Andrew's breathing technique. He called it, Pulse Breathing technique. It simply aligned the breath with the nervous system, enhancing bioelectric control. That way, the energy would easily be assimilated.
Andrew simply has to visualize himself as a stormcloud, gathering electric charge with every breath. As a result, his nervous system conductivity would be strengthened, allowing seamless energy control.
Consequently, it also enhances his muscle response time, causing his movements to be as fast as lightning. The breathing technique also gradually electrified his blood, reducing his internal resistance to high-voltage outputs.
In other words, if Jasper's breathing technique enhanced his durability, Andrew's speed would be the highlight.
He ended his writing with a quote, "Lightning is alive. It breathes within you. You are its conduit."
It was now Axel's turn, and the effects of his breathing technique was pretty much the same as Andrew—enhances speed.
It was Windflow Breathing technique, synchronizing Axel's breath with air currents, refining his agility and cutting power.
Axel has to visualize his breath sharpening the wind like a honed blade. His breathing rhythm was fluid and precise, mimicking the rhythm of flowing winds. The effects of his breathing technique were increasing movement speed and fluidity, enhancing lung capacity and oxygen efficiency, and sharpening his wind-based attacks.
He ended it with a quote, "To breathe is to cut. The air is your blade, and your breath sharpens its edge."
Next was Leonel, Tidal Breathing. He has problems when it comes to Leonel and especially Zoe's breathing technique. After all, every breathing technique heavily relied on its environment–its effects differed exactly to where the cultivator meditated.
To fully utilize Leonel's breathing technique, it would be better if he meditated in the vicinity of the ocean.
"Thankfully, water adapts. However, when it came to Zoe…" Eric shook his head and decided to write Zoe's breathing technique on the last and has to solve the problem as early as possible.
Leonel's breathing technique mimics the rhythm of tides, allowing smooth control over water-based energy. It enhances fluidity of movement and even thought. It improves hydration efficiency, preventing exhaustion. It also increases his affinity with water-based abilities.
Leonel's breathing technique might be much simpler compared to the others, but it was as powerful as theirs.
Hence, he ended it with a quote, "Water adapts, flows, and crashes. Your breath carries its tide."
Next was the girl's breathing technique. Samantha has rather unique abilities, so was her breathing technique, too. Back in the Murim World, Samantha could become a healer, who was closer to nature than any other.
However, she could be a poison assassin, too. Hence, her breathing technique was Verdant Breathing technique, mimicking plant respiration cycle, becoming one with the environment. Her breathing rhythm was steady and enduring, syncing with the natural world's pulse.
It enhanced oxygen intake, improving her endurance in hostile conditions, strengthened resistance to toxins and pollutants, and boosted natural healing and symbiosis with the environment.
Her abilities were so unique and baffling, causing Eric to have a headache when it came to delegating a task to her.
Whatever, I'll let her decide what she wants to do. He thought.
In fact, Eric already understood that her strength relied on experiments, exploration and comprehension about the environment, and much more like what a biologist does.
He ended with a quote, "The earth breathes through you. You become one with its pulse."
Michelle's breathing technique was Mindflow Breathing technique. A precise breathing pattern that enhances cognitive functions and calculation speed. It increases focus, memory retention, and problem-solving speed. It enhances perception of time and motion. It also allows predictive analysis of enemy movements.
This way, becoming a sharpshooter would be assured.
Eric imagined thousands of sharpshooters on his Empire and a gleeful smile appeared on his face.
He shook his head and continued to write, ending it with a quote, "Breathe, compute, and transcend. The mind is an infinite stream, and you are its master."
