"Hiss~~ Hiss~ Whoosh~~~"
A barely audible breath escaped from Muichiro's mouth and nose, drifting on the breeze into Teiichi's ears.
Under the mysterious blessing of the Transparent World, the subtle changes in Muichiro's lungs with each breath were displayed clearly before Teiichi's eyes, like a high-definition image.
The rhythm of the lungs expanding and contracting was no longer a vague image I had when I was learning it.
Instead, it presents a vivid, concrete, and meticulously detailed picture of reality.
Bang!
The wooden sword suddenly rose and lightly landed on Muichiro's body.
"You inhaled too deeply at the beginning, so you need to shorten your breaths from now on!"
Bang!
"Your breathing is too shallow here, you need to breathe longer!"
Bang!
"Longer!"
After tapping lightly a dozen times, Muichiro practiced the Wind Breathing once more.
After watching the whole thing, Teiichi Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Even though Muichiro had already mastered the Wind Breathing, Teiichi didn't let him stop.
He remained standing there, watching silently.
After running it more than ten times, Muichiro finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Cough cough..."
After coughing for a while and calming down a bit, Muichiro raised his head and looked at Teiichi.
"Master, did I breathe wrong?"
Teiichi explained, "You're breathing correctly, that's exactly how you breathe!"
"Then I..."
Before Muichiro finish speaking, Teiichi began to explain.
"This is normal. It's because your body isn't used to the Breathing Style yet, which is why this is happening."
Hmm... my physical fitness might not be strong enough yet, but that can be improved through training later.
Take a break, we'll continue the Breathing Style later.
"Yes!" Muichiro nodded in response.
While Muichiro rested, Teiichi, "Your main task from now on is to extend the duration of your Breathing Style as much as possible, until you can practice Breathing Style all day long, including while sleeping!"
Without asking why, Muichiro nodded, "Okay!"
Time passed quickly while they were cultivating.
Teiichi led the three of them down the Yamashita.
Aoi Kanzaki glanced at Teiichi every now and then, her face full of conflict.
She was wondering whether she didn't understand the educational methods of the strong, or Teiichi her brother Dingyi didn't know how to teach.
Isn't it always the case that people need to exercise and improve their physical fitness at the beginning?
Why Teiichi brother start teaching Breathing Style right away?
You probably didn't learn anything after half a day, right?
wrong!
Failure is the mother of success.
Muichiro at least gained some experience... right?
Should I talk to Teiichi myself?
But wouldn't saying it directly make Teiichi angry and embarrassed?
Forget it, forget it. I'll just go down and find Kanae and Shinobu and talk to them about it. Let them try to persuade Teiichi!
After careful consideration, Aoi Kanzaki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and habitually turned her head to look at her side.
"Ah!"
The sight of those pitch-black pupils startled Aoi Kanzaki.
Seeing this, Teiichi was slightly speechless. Wasn't it because you kept looking at me that I looked at you? Why are you making such a fuss?
What are you doing?
"No, it's nothing!"
Aoi Kanzaki responded, patting her chest to calm herself down.
Only then did I have the energy to pay attention to Teiichi's situation.
The person beside him maintained their pace, tilted their head slightly, and stared intently into their dark pupils.
Why are you staring at me if there's nothing wrong?
"I... I..."
Aoi Kanzaki stammered, unsure of what to say.
"Is there something you can't say?" Teiichi asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Aoi Kanzaki spoke up, "No, I... I just wanted to ask how Muichiro's Breathing Style is going. Yes, that's it, I wanted to ask how Muichiro's Breathing Style is going!"
Teiichi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He could naturally tell that Aoi Kanzaki wasn't telling the truth.
Oh well, if I don't want to talk about it, I won't.
"Hmm, he's doing well. He'll be moving on to the Total Concentration, Constant training later!"
Upon hearing Teiichi's words, Kanao couldn't help but shift her gaze to Muichiro.
Aoi Kanzaki asked the question casually, without paying any attention.
Aoi Kanzaki nodded. "Oh, you're not doing well! It's okay, no one can learn Breathing Style on their first day. You'll get better with more practice!"
"..."
"I meant that Muichiro has already mastered the Breathing Style!"
Aoi Kanzaki finally heard her words clearly.
She seemed a little incredulous, her gaze darting back and forth between Teiichi and Muichiro.
"Huh? You mean Muichiro has already mastered the Wind Breathing?"
"Um!"
Seeing Teiichi his older brother, Sadaichi, nodded, Aoi Kanzaki, though finding it hard to accept, had no choice but to believe the truth.
His gaze couldn't help but linger on Muichiro.
Is this the difference between geniuses and ordinary people like myself?
They traveled in silence and soon returned to the Butterfly Mansion.
night.
Teiichi quietly pushed open the door to Kanae's room.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered two large, purple pupils staring intently at me.
Teiichi couldn't help but laugh, skillfully got into bed, and pulled Kanae into his arms.
She lowered her head slightly, her nose lightly touching Kanae's hair, and took a deep breath.
The familiar and comforting scent instantly enveloped him, captivating him completely.
A moment later, the two slowly separated, their gazes meeting in the darkness.
Teiichi, a doting smile on his lips, asked softly:
Did you miss me?
Kanae smiled and lightly punched Sadaichi in Teiichi chest with her fist. "What's there to think about when you see it every day!"
Teiichi chuckled lightly, "I was asking if you miss the feeling of me holding you while you sleep."
"No." Kanae turned her head away.
"Really not?"
"Hmm... a little bit."
Teiichi deliberately drew out his words, feigning dissatisfaction. "Only a little bit?"
Seeing this, Kanae playfully stretched out her hand, brought two fingers together slightly, and smiled, "Hmm, just this little bit!"
Teiichi said, feigning seriousness, "I really wanted some, but you only had a little bit. That's not fair!"
Kanae laughed, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "So... what do you want?" she asked.
I'm going to punish you!
"Punishment?" Kanae tilted her head.
"Mm!" Teiichi nodded slightly.
"What punishment?" Kanae asked.
"What do you think?" Teiichi chuckled.
Kanae's cheeks flushed again. She didn't press the matter further, but simply closed her eyes slowly, tilting her head slightly as if inviting something.
The room was dark, but by the faint moonlight from the window, Teiichi could still make out Kanae's appearance.
Especially those trembling eyelashes, which made Teiichi's index finger itch.
Under the cover of night, the two heads slowly came together.
"Uh-huh..."
With a soft moan, the curtain slowly rises...
