Alex tore the paper and threw it in the trash can.
Just seeing the paper pissed him off. On the paper was the breathing technique used by soldiers of Nevan.
It was so useless that it was just a breathing technique that would only help to exhale and inhale.
The efficiency is the worst of all. There is hardly any mana retained if this technique is used.
That's why all the soldiers of Nevan were useless and are muscle heads since they can't use mana efficiently they just used physical strength.There are two types of mana users.
One of them is a warrior.
Warriors are aura masters who assimilate mana in their body, strengthening the body with the flow of mana and after getting used to mana, able to focus mana on a particular spot to form an aura.
Another type is a mage.
They used the mana by forming circles to store their mana which they used while casting spells.
The spells used by mages are divided into circles or tiers.
There is even a third category who are known as magical swordsmen who can use low tier spells along with aura in their weapons while fighting but geniuses like them were quite rare and on top of that mastering two things takes quite a time.So, magical swordsmen seem like trash rather than geniuses who can use both spells and aura.
The first thing Alex exchanged for the steel was books and various information along with mana stones.
After getting the books, Alex devoted his time to gathering information about other warriors.
Alex flipped the book that contained knowledge about various people and powerhouses in the world.
Many geniuses rise and fall but the people who were able to permanently carve their names were given the status of elites and were treated like royals.
They are even a ranking system where the people are ranked.
Heavenly genius and knight who are aura masters were known as Blade of Continents who are respected no matter their races or origin.
And superior magicians who can cast high tier spells known as Archmages.
Both of these titles have a ranking that has 10 members in each and the members occasionally fight with each other to show their superiority over each other.
While there are also geniuses in magical swordsmen, they pale in front of the other two as there was no one at peak. After all, to master two things at the same time at a young age is quite impossible unless a heaven-defying genius born
And Alex is in no way a heaven-defying genius though he can use both aura and spell. It took years of brutal training to master so it's cheating in a way.
His wife Christine had the chance of joining the Blades of Continent but alas bad luck fell upon her or it was better to say that he pulled her down and became a burden on her.
"By the way who the hell came up with this kind of ranking shit. Wasn't having your name placed in the ranking like a bounty on your head? Challengers are gonna pop up every time one steps into the crowd. "
Alex sighed thinking about all the monsters laying hidden in this world.
Alex didn't want to conquer the world nor did he plan on conquering the neighbouring Kingdoms one after one.
His only goal was to get stronger so that before messing with him, his opponent would think about it a thousand times.
Alex sighed and took out a quill, he tried to make a breathing taking of his own.
He wasn't foolish enough to offer the breathing technique taught by the goddess.
....
After carefully drawing out a technique, decided to try it out first to check the efficiency.
Alex sat cross-legged and started to inhale and exhale rhythmically while easing his concentration.
In this technique, one didn't need to sense mana and would just draw in and out.
The air drawn in will circulate all over the body and then will be exhaled with certain minute impurities.
One needs to carry out this until he can sense mana and after achieving this, the next step would be mana manifestation in which your body will start to glow with the mana that you took in.
While Alex lost himself in concentration, Riya came inside his room with a cup of tea but was shocked after witnessing the scene.
Inside the room, Alex was sitting cross-legged while his body was glowing with a red shade of light while the air around him seemed to condense and envelope him.
She could see mana and the particles being broken down around him and then entering him with his inhale.
She wasn't able to hide her surprise while seeing such an illusionary scene.
She can feel that the breathing technique her Lord was using was quite a higher tier technique and even more profound than her technique.
Alex felt someone stare and stopped his meditation and stood up to see Riya looking at her with a perturbed look.
"Riya what happened?" Alex asked.
"My Lord from where did you receive such a profound technique," Riya asked.
"Ohhh!" Alex exclaimed with an understanding expression.
"I got it from the treasure vaults and modified it a little," Alex explained.
Riya blinked a couple of times and found it hard to believe but finally gave in thinking too much.
Staying with him, she learnt one thing, One can't judge him with a normal sense.
After waking from the coma, he had changed entirely into a different person.
As Alex got up and walked toward Riya, she suddenly noticed Alex's upper half was naked.
Riya's face flushed in red as he saw his well-toned body along with those perfect abs that weren't bulky like others.
"Riya, are you all alright?"
Riya's heart started to beat harder, the more Alex got closer.
This wasn't the first time he had seen her Lord's upper body and in fact, she was the one who mostly bathed her Lord when he was an idiot and had already seen her naked but it was the first time she was feeling shy.
His body is completely different from before and he looked more like a chubby cute kid which is in sharp contrast to his well-toned body along with his chiselled V-shaped jaw.
The current can be said to be lady Killer.
Little did Riya know that Alex had been blessed by the Goddess of lust and many skills are waiting in the arsenal that when activated can topple the many nations.
As Alex put his hand on Riya's forehead, he felt that Riya's body had become hot and before he could ask her, she shook her head and ran away out of shyness.
Alex didn't pull her but rather laughed watching her running away and casting an evil smile, he spoke"My cute little rabbit,e just how many days you can run. After all, no matter where you go, you can't escape from me. Soon, you will be eaten by this lion."
"Roaaar!" A small cute roar was heard and Alex looked at Leo who was glaring at him.
"I am not talking about a lion like you," Alex muttered as he heard Leo complaining that he was the real lion while Alex was trying to copy him.
