My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 14 Azure Moon Breathing Technique

Seeing that it was getting late, Javier immediately told Otto to sit down with his legs crossed.

Their teaching should now move to the next stage.

After Otto was seated, Javier spoke.

"What I am going to teach you is the Azure Moon Breathing Technique."

With each breath, you can absorb the essence of the moon and store it within your body.

It can be used directly when needed.

However, I must remind you that the amount of lunar essence that an ordinary person can accumulate in their body is limited.

For example, normally I can only unleash my combat skills three times in a short period of time each day.

Combat skills are powerful techniques that can only be unleashed through the stimulation of mental will and physical potential.

Not only Moonlight, but combat skills also consume physical and mental energy.

You'll have to experience that for yourself after you've actually tried it.

As for the manifestation of moonlight, look at your chest.

As he spoke, Havel took off his shirt, demonstrating the rhythm of his breathing and the manifestation of moonlight.

Three streaks of pale blue veins appeared, swirling around Havel's chest like some strange little totem.

As Havel demonstrated, Otto's "animal friends" immediately noticed something amiss.

The monkeys noticed that during the demonstration, Havel's breathing became incredibly slow and shallow, and that some strange energy seemed to be activated as he inhaled and exhaled!

"Is that strange energy the essence of the moon?"

Otto looked towards the horizon.

It was dusk, and the sun and moon stood facing each other, high in the sky.

Clearly, the reason Havel demonstrated combat skills before teaching him breathing techniques was to wait for the moon to rise.

Seeing this, Otto also changed his breathing frequency and movements in an attempt to reach an agreement with Havel.

The two of them continued their practice on the rooftop.

As night fell, Micah brought the food up to the roof.

The two then rested for a while.

Taking this opportunity, Otto immediately asked Havel for more information about this combat technique, hoping it would help him master it as soon as possible.

However, Havel didn't know much about this either.

"Once, we went on an adventure and discovered the Azure Moon Breathing Technique and its corresponding combat skills in the ruins of a certain savage god."

At that time, I was the only one in the team who successfully mastered it.

I never imagined I'd later use these combat skills to make a living in town.

There are actually quite a few retired adventurers like Havel in various adventurer outposts.

Although it seems that Otto learned the Azure Moon Breathing Technique without paying any price, the reward was actually provided by the Adventurers' Guild.

This is also because Otto was rated as a high-quality resource.

This can also be considered an investment by the Adventurers' Guild, waiting for Otto to bear fruit in the future and bring them more achievements.

However, Otto got an inspiration when talking about primals.

He immediately took out the two tags he had obtained while hunting goblins and showed them to the two men.

"Could this be a totem or symbol of some primal god?"

Otto thought that the two goblins' actions and behavior were too strange.

But what if we look at it from a different angle?

What if the goblins at that time were not hunting, but performing some kind of sacrificial ritual?

However, after examining it for a while, Javier shook his head helplessly.

"In a broad sense, apart from the six orthodox gods worshipped by the Kingdom of Thorne, all other gods are called savage gods."

They may be some kind of ancient deity, or they may be nameless gods born in the countryside.

If it's just a sign, it's hard to find the corresponding deity.

Unless you are someone who has done extensive research on this.

You can wait until the newly joined priest returns, and she will answer your questions.

Or you could go find the new receptionist, Eileen.

As servants of orthodox deities, priests are extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of totems related to the gods.

However, Otto had previously contacted Eileen, but she was also unable to provide any information about the sign, and the investigation is still ongoing.

Seeing this, Otto didn't say anything more, but simply put away the sign, planning to ask Eileen about her progress when he had time later.

As for Micah, he was reminding Otto that they would be busy tomorrow.

"I'll take you on a hunting mission tomorrow, and we'll also see if the Azure Moon Breathing Technique suits you. If not, we'll switch to another one sooner rather than later."

Let's get some rest early tonight.

After saying that, Micah and Javier immediately left the rooftop, leaving Otto alone to compose himself.

Although it was late autumn, Otto didn't feel much of a chill even after taking off his shirt.

He felt he was in good shape today and planned to take this opportunity to accumulate some lunar essence.

As he practiced his breathing technique, Otto could feel a slight tingling sensation on his skin, which was clearly the beginning of the moon's essence gathering.

After sensing the change, Otto tried to grasp that strange feeling and draw energy from the moonlight.

But as time went on, Otto only felt more and more sleepy.

After all, he's still just an ordinary person, and he has things to do tomorrow, so he simply went to sleep.

After a quick wash, Otto returned to his room.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Otto looked down at his chest.

Although not as good as Havel, Otto had already condensed a wisp of moonlight, which meant he was well-suited to the Azure Moon Breathing Technique.

Thinking of this, Otto immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.

However, after falling into a deep sleep, that familiar feeling of disorientation returned.

In a daze, Otto seemed to see a bright, azure moon hanging like a giant plate before his eyes.

The crescent moon was getting closer and closer to Otto.

Otto instinctively wanted to get away.

But then he suddenly opened his eyes and fell off the bed.

"What was that strange dream?"

Otto rubbed his head and slowly sat up from the ground, intending to examine last night's dream in detail.

But when Otto woke up, he saw that his "animal friends" seemed to be showing off something to each other.

The white dog tried to imitate your and your animal friends' breathing techniques, but it couldn't even condense a wisp of moonlight.

The black sheep and the eagle mocked the white dog, each releasing a wisp of moonlight they had gathered.

The black cat and brown bear triumphantly kicked the white dog aside and proudly produced two strands of moonlight they had each condensed.

Only the monkey silently produced three strands of moonlight, arrogantly barking at the brown bear.

The monkey was thrown a long way by the brown bear.

The monkey grumbled and complained, thinking, "How can I possibly improve by being with these insects?"

The monkey hopes you'll replace these useless animals that are holding it back with some smarter animal friends soon.

"Aren't you a little too eager to improve?"

Watching the boisterous "Animal Friends," Otto felt as if he were less than a monkey!

He went to the mirror, feeling dejected, to check his appearance.

The result was that, just as the "Animal Friends" had said, a new moonlight had indeed gathered on his chest.

Including the moonlight that Otto himself gathered, there were a total of ten strands!

This clearly exceeds the limits that Havel had identified!

But just as Otto was getting excited, a new change occurred.

Just last night, you received the gaze of the Azure Moon.
