Hungry!
Hungry!
So hungry!
Much like when he had first cultivated the Breathing Technique, every cell in Karl's body roared with hunger, but the intensity was on an entirely different level.
This hunger, which came from his body's instincts, was so overwhelming that even the absolute rationality granted by the Divine Domain Fragment could barely suppress it.

His teeth clamped down, easily tearing the tough Exotic Beast Meat apart before it mixed with his saliva and rolled into his stomach.
His stomach churned madly as the nutrients were rapidly absorbed.
Karl, eating meat, was comparable to a rapidly spinning meat grinder. Piles of Exotic Beast Meat were consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Cultivating a Breathing Technique required gradual progress.
From entry-level to proficiency, and finally to mastery, the circulation and manipulation of the energy within the body differed at each stage.
The farther one progressed, the more complicated the energy circulation became, and the better the corresponding tempering of the body.

Since he could perfectly control his physical body and achieve deeper tempering, why waste time on the earlier stages?
But he had clearly underestimated the Giant Spirit Breathing
