After a long while, Teiichi slowly awoke from his deep meditation.

He gently rubbed his eyes, as if trying to pull his mind out of his meditation as quickly as possible.

He stood up, carefully straightened his clothes, Teiichi to begin the next round of his vibration practice.

Without practicing anything else, I'll start by practicing basic movements with my own Nichirin Blade.

It's not that Teiichi doesn't want to practice other things, but her arm is still broken and hasn't fully recovered. If she does some high-intensity exercise, she might accidentally aggravate the wound, which would slow down the recovery of her arm. That would be a minor issue if it caused problems with the recovery of her left arm, which would be a real loss.

Moreover, although the environment of the Butterfly Mansion is quiet and pleasant, it does not have suitable training equipment. It is up to Teiichi to carry it. You should know that Teiichi is now a man who can carry more than 100 kilograms on a daily basis. If you include the Nichirin Blade, it will weigh almost 300 kilograms. If it is just a short training session, it will have to be carried by the ton.

Although the Butterfly Mansion now has a pillar, Flower Breathing focuses more on technique and movement, and doesn't particularly pursue strength. It's a style where having it is good, but not having it doesn't matter. Therefore, the Butterfly Mansion doesn't have any heavy training equipment.

As we walked into the courtyard, sunlight fell on his tall figure, making his silhouette exceptionally clear.

In the courtyard, the two were training intently. Shinobu Kocho was agile, and every movement revealed precision and composure, while Kobayashi Kanon appeared much more lively. Her smile was as warm as the sun, adding a touch of vitality to the courtyard.

Shinobu Kocho glanced at him but didn't say anything. Her relationship with Teiichi was still in the acquaintance stage, and they didn't have much interaction. They might not even be considered friends yet, at least that's how she saw it, so she didn't say much.

Kobayashi Kanon, however, stopped what she was doing as soon as she saw Teiichi, her face breaking into a bright smile as she cheerfully called out:

"Brother Teiichi, you're done meditating and coming over for training!" Her voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring.

Teiichi smiled and responded to Kanon, his gaze inadvertently falling on the large gourd she was holding to her chest. He asked curiously:

Are you... practicing Total Concentration Breathing Style?

Kanon nodded, a hint of helplessness on her face. She complained:

"Yeah, this big gourd is really hard to blow out of. It's so hard and heavy. I've been practicing for ages, but I still can't pop it."

Hearing this, Teiichi couldn't help but become curious. When she was learning the Total Concentration Breathing Style, she had to practice hard and endure the continuous Breathing Style time. She had never used such a tool before, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Blow it on for me, I'll try!"

"Brother Teiichi, didn't you learn the Total Concentration Breathing Style two years ago?"

Kanon asked him with a puzzled expression, but still handed him the gourd.

"I've already learned it, I just wanted to try it out."

Teiichi replied, reaching out with his right hand to take it, only to find that the gourd was too big; without the other hand applying force from the other side, he couldn't hold it with one hand.

"Brother Teiichi, your left hand isn't working well right now, so how about I hold it for you and you blow it?"

Seeing Kanon, Hana immediately tried to help Teiichi hold it so he Teiichi blow it.

"It's alright, no need. Just put the gourd on the ground."

Teiichi refused, Kanon obediently put the gourd down after hearing Teiichi's words.

Teiichi walked to the front of the gourd, bent down, bit the mouth of the gourd with his teeth, and picked it up.

Kanon Teiichi up the large gourd, and suddenly her cheeks turned red.

Oh no, I was the Teiichi Brother Dingyi is blowing it now, it's like...

"Suck--"

Teiichi had no idea what Kanon was thinking. With the sound of air being inhaled into his lungs, Teiichi's chest rapidly swelled up.

"Bang!!"

A loud bang exploded in the courtyard. The gourd shattered instantly under Ding Yi 'Teiichi breath, and fragments flew in all directions. Only the gourd's mouth, which Ding Yi was holding in Teiichi teeth, remained inside Teiichi mouth.

"Clang"

"Clang"

"Clang"

A series of metallic clanging sounds followed, echoing through the courtyard. Then, Shinobu Kocho's angry roar rang out.

"You bastard! You want to murder me?!"

Shinobu Kocho was concentrating on practicing her swordsmanship when suddenly pieces of gourd fragments flew towards her like hidden weapons. Fortunately, she noticed them in time and quickly dodged them.

Although she had come to her senses, Shinobu Kocho was still terrified. If she hadn't been so agile, she probably would have been cut by those shards today.

Shinobu Kocho glared angrily at Teiichi, her mind filled with doubt. How could this guy make such a commotion just by blowing on a gourd?

Kobayashi Kanon, who was standing to the side, was also shocked by this sudden turn of events.

Her eyes widened as she stared at Teiichi in disbelief. She had never seen anyone blow an entire gourd apart with such force. Even when Kanae practiced, she had only managed to blow apart the bottom half of the gourd.

Kanon had been about to praise Teiichi, but upon hearing Shinobu Kocho roar, she quickly swallowed her words. She was afraid that her words would anger Shinobu Kocho and make the situation worse.

Teiichi he had caused trouble, Teiichi quickly spat out the gourd's mouth. He hurriedly Shinobu Kocho:

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've never blown this before, I didn't know it would turn out like this."

Although Shinobu Kocho was furious, her anger subsided slightly after hearing Teiichi's explanation. She snorted coldly and said:

Be more careful next time!

Seeing that Shinobu Kocho had no intention of pursuing the matter further, Teiichi sigh of relief. Although he knew he could blow the gourd apart, he hadn't expected it to be so powerful. He should have increased the force of his breath little by little earlier.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

At this moment, Kanon couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her laughter was clear and melodious, but it seemed somewhat inappropriate in the tense atmosphere.

Hearing the snickers coming from the side, Teiichi turned his head and glared at Kanon, signaling her to stop laughing.

Then, Teiichi's gaze fell on Shinobu Kocho again.

Teiichi while, Teiichi noticed that Shinobu Kocho's sword shape was a bit strange, so he didn't rush to start his own practice. Instead, he sat down and continued watching Shinobu Kocho practice.

After a long while, Shinobu Kocho's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. She finally stopped wielding her Nichirin Blade, took a deep breath, and seemed to be adjusting her breathing.

"There's something strange about the shape of your sword. It looks like Flower Breathing, but it's not quite Flower Breathing."

Upon hearing Teiichi's question, Shinobu Kocho turned her head slightly and glanced at Teiichi.

"I'll see if I can create my own Breathing Style."
