System's New Function, Sun Breathing

"Lin Feng, try this roasted meat! This is a Sea King unique to the Grand Line. It tastes absolutely amazing!"

Marco handed a large piece of golden-brown roasted meat to Lin Feng, his blond hair glittering in the firelight.

Lin Feng took the meat and bit into it. It was indeed tender, juicy, and incredibly delicious. This was his first meal since arriving in this world.

"Thank you, Marco."

Lin Feng spoke sincerely.

"Hahaha, no need to thank me! From now on, we're family!"

Marco laughed heartily and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. The contours of his muscles were clearly visible beneath his purple shirt.

"Gurararara! You brats! Celebrate to your heart's content!"

Whitebeard raised a huge barrel of wine and shouted boldly.

"Oh!!!"

The pirates responded one after another, their deafening cheers echoing throughout the Moby Dick.

This was a tradition of the Whitebeard Pirates. Whenever a new member joined, they held a grand banquet.

Lin Feng looked at the lively scene before him, an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart. He had never seen such a bold and free-spirited scene before.

The pirates drank heartily, ate meat in huge bites, laughed without restraint, and released their passion to the fullest.

"Is this a pirate banquet? It's just as exciting as the ones I've seen in anime!"

Lin Feng marveled inwardly.

"Boy, why aren't you eating? Doesn't it suit your taste?"

Whitebeard noticed that Lin Feng seemed somewhat distracted and asked with concern.

"No, it's not that. I just... I'm a little unaccustomed to such a lively scene." Lin Feng hurriedly explained.

"Gurararara! You'll get used to it! There'll be plenty more lively occasions in the future!" Whitebeard laughed.

"Here, boy, this is for you!" As he spoke, Whitebeard took a long saber from behind him and handed it to Lin Feng.

"This is..." Lin Feng accepted the saber. Its blade was long and slender, gleaming with cold light. At a glance, it was clearly no ordinary weapon.

"Frost Gale. This is a fine blade. Although it can't compare to the Supreme Grade 12 Blades, it still ranks among the Great Grade 21 Blades," Whitebeard explained.

"You're giving it to me?"

Lin Feng raised his head, disbelief written all over his face.

Whitebeard grinned broadly, his voice deafening. "Of course! You're my son now too. How could you not have a proper weapon?"

"Thank you, old man."

Lin Feng's voice trembled slightly.

Whitebeard's fan-sized hand, wrapped in a powerful gust of wind, slammed down hard on Lin Feng's head. "You little brat, call me Pops!"

"Ow!"

Lin Feng clutched his head and cried out in pain. This old man hits way too hard. Sooner or later, I'll pluck all your whiskers out!

On the deck of the Moby Dick, the wooden railings creaked in the sea wind.

Lin Feng tightened his grip on Frost Gale, a surge of heroic spirit rising in his heart.

This famous blade was not only Whitebeard's recognition of him, but also his companion on the journey ahead.

Lin Feng could feel the cold touch coming from the blade, as well as the immense power contained within it.

"What a fine blade!"

Lin Feng couldn't help praising it. He waved it lightly several times, the edge slicing through the air and producing a series of howling sounds.

"Gurararara! I'm glad you like it!"

Seeing how reluctant Lin Feng was to put it down, Whitebeard laughed heartily. "From now on, this blade will accompany you as you conquer the seas!"

"Yeah!"

Lin Feng nodded heavily, determination filling his eyes.

The banquet continued, and the pirates' enthusiasm showed no sign of fading.

Lin Feng gradually blended into the atmosphere as well, drinking, eating meat, and chatting with the people around him.

Lin Feng discovered that these seemingly vicious pirates also had a lovable side. They were bold, straightforward, and deeply loyal, willing to go through fire and water for their companions.

After the banquet ended, Lin Feng returned to his room.

Lin Feng lay on the bed, recalling everything that had happened that day. It felt like a dream.

"System." Lin Feng silently called out in his heart.

[Host, what are your orders?]

"Open the system interface."

[System interface opened.]

A translucent interface appeared before Lin Feng, displaying various attributes, skills, Slash Points, and other information.

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Slash Points: 1184]

[Attributes: Strength: 6, Speed: 6, Physique: 6, Reaction: 6, Perception: 6]

[Skills: One Sword Style: Iai Slash (Proficiency: 50/100)]

[Items: Frost Gale (Great Grade Blade)]

"Huh?"

Lin Feng suddenly discovered that a new option—"Exchange"—had appeared on the system interface.

"What is this?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

[The Exchange function has been unlocked. The host can use Slash Points to exchange for basic attributes, extradimensional skills, bloodlines, and more.]

"I can exchange for those things too?"

Lin Feng immediately grew interested. "Open the Exchange interface."

[Exchange interface opened.]

Another interface appeared before Lin Feng, displaying a dazzling array of exchangeable items.

[Attributes:]

[1 point of Strength: 100 Slash Points]

[1 point of Speed: 100 Slash Points]

[1 point of Physique: 100 Slash Points]

...

[Skills]

[Getsuga Tensho: 50,000 Slash Points]

[Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu: Kuzuryusen: 200,000 Slash Points]

[Ittou Shura: Seventh Secret Technique, Raikou: 1,000,000 Slash Points]

...

[Bloodlines:]

[Fish-Man Bloodline: 100,000 Slash Points]

[Giant Bloodline: 200,000 Slash Points]

[Three-Eyed Tribe Bloodline: 500,000 Slash Points]

...

Lin Feng was dazzled by what he saw. These were all skills he had encountered in various anime in his previous life!

"This is way too awesome!"

Lin Feng excitedly rubbed his hands together, wishing he could exchange for everything.

However, he soon calmed down. Slash Points were hard-earned, so he had to spend them carefully.

"Let's look at the skills first."

Lin Feng shifted his gaze to the skills category.

Lin Feng browsed through it and found many familiar skills, such as Two Sword Style, Three Sword Style, and Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.

"These skills are all incredibly powerful. It's just a shame I don't have enough Slash Points." Lin Feng spoke with some regret.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's gaze stopped on one of the skills.

[Sun Breathing: 1,000 Slash Points (Incomplete Version)]

"Sun Breathing?"

Lin Feng's heart stirred. Isn't this the breathing technique used by Tanjiro Kamado in the hugely popular anime Demon Slayer from my previous life?

Sun Breathing was the origin of all breathing techniques and the strongest breathing technique!

"Although it's an incomplete version, it only costs 1,000 Slash Points. Exchange!"

Lin Feng chose to exchange it without hesitation.

[Slash Points -1,000]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the skill: Sun Breathing (Incomplete Version)]

A surge of information flooded into Lin Feng's mind. He closed his eyes and carefully comprehended it.

[System, why is Sun Breathing an incomplete version?] Lin Feng asked silently in his heart.

[Sun Breathing is the ultimate breathing technique, containing the principles of the world. It is no trivial matter. The current version has been adjusted according to the limits the host can currently endure.]

[Then how can I obtain the complete Sun Breathing?]

[Continue improving your strength and unlock more system functions. Only then will you have hope of obtaining it.]

"Looks like I still have to work hard to improve my strength."

Lin Feng murmured to himself. Thinking of the powerful skills and bloodlines he had seen in the Exchange interface, his heart filled with longing.

[Host, Sun Breathing currently comes with three skills: First Form, Second Form Blue Sky, and Third Form Sun Red Mirror.]

"Oh?"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. This was truly an unexpected surprise.

"How do I use these three skills?"

[The methods for using the skills have been transmitted into the host's mind.]

Lin Feng closed his eyes, and a surge of information flooded into his mind. It was precisely the method for using the three skills of Sun Breathing.

He carefully comprehended it and quickly mastered the key techniques.

"So that's how it is. These three skills are all based on Sun Breathing. By using different sword paths and methods of exerting force, they unleash tremendous power."

Lin Feng clenched his fists, his heart filled with confidence.
