Capítulo 3: Inner Breath
Eight years later, deep within the mountains, a wooden cabin stood amidst the forest. Surrounding the cabin were medicinal plants and vegetables, protected by a fence to ward off wild beast intrusions. Fang Yuan was currently in front of the cabin, slowly practicing the Turtle Snake Coiling Fist.
Eight years had passed since he entered this world through the simulator. During this time, Fang Yuan had found this ideal location in the dense forest, where he built a wooden cabin and cultivated various vegetables. As for essential items, Fang Yuan had no trouble acquiring them, thanks to nearby villages beyond the mountains.
"Eight years!" Fang Yuan looked around and was unable to suppress his emotions. How many eight-year spans does a person have? Yet, Fang Yuan had spent a full eight years in this secluded mountain.
"Fortunately, regardless of how much time I spend in the simulated world, it's just a moment in the real world."
With this thought, Fang Yuan's body suddenly trembled. A warm current emerged from his lower abdomen, gently flowing throughout his body.
"Inner Breath realm, achieved!"
Feeling the warm flow emanating from his dantian, Fang Yuan rejoiced. In the real world, martial arts realms were divided into several stages, and the Inner Breath realm marked the first stage. The manifestation of a warm flow in the dantian was the sign of achieving this realm.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuan concentrated his mind, mobilizing his Inner Breath to spread throughout his body. With the augmentation of Inner Breath, his muscles swelled slightly, and a majestic force emerged.
After a while, Fang Yuan dispersed the Inner Breath within his body, shaking his head slowly.
"Unfortunately, I've only just entered the Inner Breath realm. The Inner Breath in the dantian is shallow, mainly serving as a means for explosive strength."
Nevertheless, even with this preliminary step into the Inner Breath realm, Fang Yuan had become several times stronger than before.
The Inner Breath realm itself had further divisions, and Fang Yuan, at this point, was at the initial stage of the Inner Breath realm.
After the initial stage, there were the Initial and Comprehensive stages.
With a fleeting thought, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"Cough, cough!"
Suddenly, Fang Yuan coughed twice, his complexion turning somewhat pale.
"In recent years, I've used the Burning Blood Secret Technique quite often. My body's foundation has suffered, leaving behind some hidden illness."
"But now, having reached the Inner Breath realm, I can use the Burning Blood Secret Technique more liberally."
After a moment of coughing, Fang Yuan stood upright, gazing into the deep mountains. He had been here for a long time, and now it was time to leave.
Fang Yuan knew he was curious about the outside world and desired to explore the differences between the martial arts of this world and the real world.
"Next, besides exploring the martial arts of this world, I need to perfect the Burning Blood Secret Technique."
Once the Burning Blood Secret Technique reached perfection, it could unleash thirty percent of a warrior's strength without harming their foundation.
Although Fang Yuan had almost Mastered the Burning Blood Secret Technique due to frequent use, his strength was still insufficient.
Thinking about his situation in the real world, Fang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. The Fang family intended to use him to lure Fang Tianzong; he couldn't afford to sit idly.
After a couple of coughs, Fang Yuan turned towards the wooden cabin, packed his belongings, and then left the mountain he had called home for eight years.
...
One year later, within the Four Seas Escort Agency, Fang Yuan was silently wiping a long knife.
Since leaving the mountain, he had found an escort agency and joined it. Thanks to his martial skills, he had become a leader within a year.
After a year of escort missions, Fang Yuan had gained an understanding of the martial arts system in this world. The martial arts here was divided into Nurture, Nature, Master, and Grandmaster realms, with the existence of Divine Ability martial artists known as Immortals.
"The martial arts system in the real world is different from this world, but there are some similarities."
Fang Yuan pondered silently.
His current strength, according to the world's classification, made him a Nurture martial artist, still two levels away from reaching the Initial and Comprehensive realms.
"It's a pity I haven't acquired any exquisite martial arts. Otherwise, I could better understand the differences between the martial arts of these two worlds."
Over the past year, Fang Yuan had visited various martial artists, but he hadn't learned much. Even if someone tried to teach him, the techniques were inferior to those of the Fang family, extremely rudimentary.
"Well, I've gained a deep understanding of this world. It's time to leave the escort agency."
After resigning from the Four Seas Escort Agency, he roamed around and was curious to observe this world. Though somewhat resembling ancient times from his previous life, it seemed vast and different.
As Fang Yuan roamed, a legend slowly emerged in the areas he passed through. Disregarding his own life, Fang Yuan frequently infiltrated the homes of wealthy individuals or rural landowners, attempting to discover martial arts techniques. In the process, many ruthless individuals lost their lives at Fang Yuan's hands, and their wealth was distributed freely among the common people.
"Unfortunately, these are just small households. Despite their considerable wealth, they are not true martial arts families. Even if they possess some martial arts, they are merely crude and unsophisticated rural techniques."
Inside a tavern, Fang Yuan shook his head slightly, savoring the fine wine in his hand. As for martial arts families or prestigious clans with skilled practitioners, he couldn't infiltrate them.
However, although the martial arts he acquired were crude, they still proved useful to Fang Yuan.
"Only five more months until the ten-year mark. I'll put in more effort to see if I can find some formidable martial arts."
"And my Burning Blood Secret Technique is almost completed."
"Although this body is riddled with injuries now, and my martial arts cultivation cannot progress any further, it doesn't matter. After all, this is just a simulated body, not my real-world physical form."
Two months later, Fang Yuan watched in astonishment as a colossal hand slowly descended from the sky, covering everything. He had heard that there would be martial arts experts engaging in battles here, so he came to observe.
However, now...
"So powerful..."
"Unfortunately, my Burning Blood Secret Technique hasn't reached completion yet. It seems I'll have to wait for the next simulation."
In the next moment, the giant hand pressed down, reducing everything in the small town to rubble.
"This simulation concludes. Commencing settlement..."
