Astral Apostle
chapter-74

After settling all his basic needs, Barong immediately pulled Zhou Jing and Weiss to the training ground and got straight to the point.

“The [Hunter’s Breath: Forging] that you’ve learned is only used to train your Physical Fitness. The breathing technique that Weiss and I are about to teach you is specially used for combat. You’ll have stronger abilities when facing enemies.”

Barong faced Zhou Jing in the training ground and demonstrated another hunter’s breathing technique that he had mastered.

He suddenly took a deep breath, and all the muscles in his body seemed to have expanded. His muscles twisted like a living snake.

[Hunter’s Breath: Force]!

Barong jumped forward, leaped into the air, and punched down.

Peng!

Earth and rocks flew everywhere, forming a small pit on the ground.

Barong slowly exhaled, and his bulging muscles returned to normal. Moreover, he explained, “My breathing technique can temporarily increase my strength—be it fighting against mutated beasts or increasing my destructive power at critical moments.”

Ah, this is the “Berserk” buff… Zhou Jing nodded.

Seeing this, Weiss also moved his body, eager to showcase.

“His breathing technique is usually used to fight against mutated beasts head-on, while my breathing technique increases speed and agility. As long as you’re agile enough, the mutated beasts won’t be able to hit you. You can find an opportunity to injure them then.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Weiss took a long breath and made a whistling sound.

[Hunter’s Breath: Swift]!

He ran at an astonishing speed. As he ran, he made a series of skillful dodging movements. He seemed quite agile and at ease.

Weiss’s eyes suddenly moved, and he had a teasing thought. He ran around Barong, occasionally poking Barong’s bald head with his finger.

“Go and show off all you want, but don’t touch my head!”

Barong’s eyelids twitched as he tried to raise his hand to grab Weiss.

However, Weiss dodged nimbly again and again. He followed Barong like a phantom and teased his bald head from behind.

At this moment, Weiss suddenly changed directions and ran towards Zhou Jing, wanting to use the same trick to let Zhou Jing experience his flexibility and agility.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, Zhou Jing had already captured his movements. His reaction was as sharp as lightning.

Zhou Jing nimbly dodged Weiss’s hand. At the same time, he bent down, crawled under Weiss’s armpit, and hugged his waist.

“Huh?” Weiss was shocked. He immediately deflated and tried to break free.

“Scram!”

Zhou Jing chuckled and did not hesitate to perform another suplex on Weiss.

Plop!

Weiss fell flat on his face, covered in dirt.

Barong laughed out loud in schadenfreude.

Weiss spat out a mouthful of sand and sat up, thinking he had miscalculated this time.

He would not have tried to tease him if he had known that Zhou Jing’s strength would be astonishing after his enhancement.

Weiss coughed to hide his embarrassment.

“Anyway, this is the effect of my breathing technique. It makes your movements faster… Although you caught it, there’s no problem with the breathing technique itself. In fact, the more agile you are, the better the effect of the breathing technique.”

“I can tell.”

Zhou Jing held back his laughter and nodded.

Weiss was faster than usual. This breathing technique was quite suitable for himself, whose enhancement path was based on high agility and explosive power. It was no wonder Barong had especially pulled Weiss along to teach him this breathing technique.

The two of them demonstrated for a while and did not say anything superfluous. They began to guide him on the two breathing techniques.

Zhou Jing quickly memorized it, and relevant information immediately popped up on the interface.

[Learning [Hunter’s Breath: Force]]

[One of the hunter’s breathing techniques, temporarily increasing strength.]

[Skill Level: Lv 0 (Apprentice)]

[Minimum Cost for Accelerated Learning: 100 Astral Points]

[Learning [Hunter’s Breath: Swift]]

[One of the hunter’s breathing techniques, temporarily increasing agility.]

[Skill Level: Lv 0 (Apprentice)]

[Minimum Cost for Accelerated Learning: 100 Astral Points]

The cost of learning two breathing techniques was the same as [Hunter’s Breath: Forging].

Zhou Jing did not hesitate and immediately activated his Accelerated Learning. He decided to follow their advice and master two breathing techniques during this period of time.
