Liu Ru's whole body was buried deep in the ice and snow, but her skin was as hot as fire.
The ice and snow quickly melted into snow water and seeped into the softened soil beneath her, but more snow fell around her, filling the gaps again.
The girl's breath was long, and between every breath and every breath, her entire body was like a burning furnace, almost using itself as fuel, breathing in and out to burst out endless power.
The clothes on her body were bulging due to the heat, and strange patterns of feathers and flames appeared on her exposed white skin.
Liu Ru, who was buried deep in the snow, had her eyes closed tightly. She was in almost the most subtle and dangerous state, but at this moment, she actually recalled what Su Ziye said to her.
"Let me teach you the first step of practice, breathing."
"Breathing?" Liu Ru was very curious at the time. She couldn't understand that the technique she had mastered from the moment she was born was actually the first step in spiritual practice.
"Do you know what breathing is?" Su Ziye asked.
Liu Ru was instantly stunned by this question.
What is breathing?
Human beings need to breathe day and night. If they stop breathing, even for just a few minutes, it will be enough to kill them.
"The essence of breathing is burning." Su Ziye continued with a smile.
“You should have seen the scene of firewood burning in a stove, and the human body itself is a stove. We eat a variety of foods every day to provide energy for the body, just like you keep adding firewood to the stove. "
"Whether you stop adding firewood or simply close the furnace door to prevent air from entering, the flame will slowly die out and eventually become dead."
"And the essence of life is actually fire."
"So the first step to practice spiritual practice is to master the secret of breathing."
"It allows you to further master the limits of your body's functions, whether it's speed, strength, or pure explosiveness, all of which require breathing to provide."
"Next, I will teach you a set of breathing methods specially designed for you. According to this set of breathing methods, it only takes six months under normal circumstances for you to achieve something and enter the next stage of blood-moving practice. .”
"But unfortunately, even six months, we don't have that right now."
"Your current task is to master the true meaning of breathing within fifteen days."
Compressing six months of practice time into fifteen days is almost unimaginable to ordinary people.
But Su Ziye is certainly not an ordinary person.
He took Liu Ru to the snow-covered mountains here. In the following time, what Liu Ru had to do every day was to eat, breathe, eat, and breathe, over and over again, in an endless cycle.
And Liu Ru never thought that she could really eat so much.
Su Ziye could drag back a huge elk, tiger, and leopard during a casual trip, skin it right on the spot, light a fire, cut it into chunks of barbecue, and then stuff it into Liu Ru's petite body like a stuffed duck.
From the beginning she could only eat one or two small pieces at a time, to being able to chew off a deer leg or even a whole set of ribs at a time. Things that originally made Liu Ru feel unbelievable, but now when it happened to her, she even felt... It turned out to be such a sentiment.
And the ability to eat such food lies in the word breathing.
Liu Ruzhen felt that his body was like a huge furnace. No matter how much food he put into it, it could be burned out quickly and turned into his own energy for his own use.
But slowly, problems began to arise.
Liu Ru had no way of consuming so much energy.
According to Su Ziye, without any intervention, the human body will try to store these energy in the form of fat in case of emergency, and if you follow the traditional way of coping, you will use a lot of exercise to consume it. These energies, and polish the body bit by bit.
But the method Su Ziye asked Liu Ru to use now was different.
He chose to make Liu Ru's whole body burst into flames!
Yes, literally set on fire.
Simply teaching Liu Ru to master the method of raising body temperature and boiling blood through breathing would naturally cost Liu Ru the pain of almost being burned by flames. In the frozen environment, the almost endless ice and snow were used to physically cool Liu Ru.
During this period, the girl relied on her tenacious resilience and almost incredible endurance to grit her teeth and persevere.
Until the boy's faint laughter finally sounded in his ears: "Okay, open your eyes."
Hearing Su Ziye's voice, Liu Rucai slowly opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she could hardly believe what she saw.
Looking around, there was not a single snowflake around her.
The ground under your feet seemed to have been burned by flames, showing an ocher-red color like burned bricks, and the coniferous trees around it that were originally evergreen were now dim and withered, as if they had been burned by a fire. , a scene of decline.
"What's going on?" Liu Ru couldn't help but ask. As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was almost as if it had been scalded by coals. It was dry and brittle, and it felt like it was almost torn apart when she opened her mouth.
Su Ziye quietly handed a gourd to Liu Ru. Liu Ru raised his hand to take it, then raised his head and poured all the cold liquid inside into his mouth.
This cold liquid almost drew a line in Liu Ru's body. Wherever it touched, it was like the spring had returned and all things were sprouting on the earth, making Liu Ru's body that had been exhausted and exhausted rejuvenate with vitality.
"How do you feel now?" Su Ziye asked quietly.
He did not answer Liu Ru's question.
Liu Ru felt her body, and then answered honestly: "I'm very hungry."
Yes, she was so hungry that she felt like she could eat a whole cow right now.
"That's good." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and smiled lightly: "Try to punch me."
When Su Ziye's voice just fell, Liu Ru's body had already moved.
She almost instinctively clenched her fists, retracted her elbows, and turned sideways.
Then he suddenly punched Su Ziye.
At the moment before Liu Ru's consciousness reached her, her body had already acted on her behalf.
She felt that the air in front of her fist was experiencing great resistance. She was breaking through these obstacles inch by inch, and even a thunderous roar could be heard in her ears.
Liu Ru even felt that his punch could bring down a mountain.
But in the end, the punch hit a ball of cotton.
Liu Ru looked forward and saw Su Ziye quietly reaching out his hand and receiving his all-out punch with his palm.
He didn't take a step back. He obviously received the punch, but Liu Ru felt as if he was punching in the void, all the power was eliminated.
The young man looked at her with a smile and continued to ask: "How do you feel now?"
He repeated his previous words.
Liu Ru instantly felt the jumping and urgent hunger conveyed from every cell.
She couldn't help but lick her lips.
Su Ziye smiled: "Open your mouth."
Almost subconsciously, Liu Ru opened her mouth.
Su Ziye stretched out his finger and gently scratched the pad of his index finger with the nail of his thumb. A scratch appeared easily, and then a drop of blood as bright as gold flowed out from the young man's fingertip, and then fell into the Liu Ru's mouth.
Liu Ru only felt a drop of jumping flame fall into his mouth.
The warm and scorching touch melted the moment it touched the tongue coating, and then disappeared directly in the mouth, filling the limbs and bones along the blood vessels and meridians of the body.
The unbearable feeling of hunger that was originally there disappeared in this moment.
Liu Ru looked at Su Ziye even more surprised. Although this young man had already given her countless miracles and surprises, it was obvious that he would bring her more.
"What is this?" Liu Ru asked.
"This is the second level of practice you have to practice. Learn to store the power you draw from your breath in your blood. Only in this way will you not consume all the power you have accumulated in one punch."
"Of course, this is what is called blood removal."
