Chapter 20: How The Knight’s Breathing Technique Came About...
Chapter 20 - How The Knight's Breathing Technique Came About..."Do you know how the Knight's Breathing Technique came to be?" Donald suddenly asked.
Kranos blinked, he was stunned. It was such an odd question. In all the books he had read, there was no mention of how the knight's breathing technique came to be.
Besides, how would I know that? I'm just a nine-year-old child! Physically, but his past life's memories didn't matter in this situation.
Seeing Kranos silent, Donald chuckled slightly, he could guess what Kranos was thinking. He didn't mind. "Back then, mortals and immortals lived in separate worlds. The gap between them was insurmountable. No matter how hard a mortal trained, they could never match an immortal's power."
Kranos listened quietly as Donald explained, now fully focused.
Donald continued, his voice was calm and steady. "That is, until one man chose to defy his fate. He studied cultivation techniques for years, determined to find a way for mortals to compete. Eventually, he came to a bitter conclusion—mortals lacked the Root Bone, a gift from the heavens. Without it, true cultivation was impossible."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you think that young man did?"
Kranos thought for a second. Usually in stories like this, don't they go on to create a great cultivation technique and be the protagonist of an era? He smiled inwardly and answered, "He went on to create the Knight's Breathing Technique..."
However, before Kranos could finish speaking, Donald shook his head disapprovingly with a wry smile. "No. He failed. He gave up on his goal and fell into despair. Eventually, he settled down, took a wife, and had a son. He planned to live out his days as a mortal."
Kranos frowned, he was caught off guard by the unexpected twist. He continued to listen attentively.
"One day his son stumbled upon his father's re
Kranos thoughts were moving rapidly, but on second thoughts, he never said that the young man's son was without a root bone...
...
Kranos began spending his days comprehending his sword path, among the more than ten basic sword techniques, Kranos studied the ones that were best suitable to embark on his sword path. Day by day he spent his time swinging his blade, each swing of his blade became sharper, faster, and heavier.
At first his parents were puzzled, but soon they were shocked to discover that Kranos had already begun emitting a fierce aura. This aura looked as though nothing could stop it, to his parents, who had seen so many things, it felt unstoppable.
...
Soon, Kranos turned ten years old.
Per his agreement with Raphael, he would now join the other children in heading to the Awakening Realm, where they would test their elemental affinity and talent. Though rumors had spread about Kranos' cultivation success, many still doubted him.
However, something surprising was that just before his departure, Raphael handed Kranos a medicinal pill. His tone was serious.
"Swallow this ten seconds before placing your hand on the awakening crystal," he instructed. "Remove your hands from the awakening orb within two minutes or serious problems may arise."
Kranos nodded solemnly. "Understood."
...
"I heard the child prodigy, Kranos, is attending the Awakening Ceremony."
"Yeah, they say he managed to get that 1% chance and awakened after all."
Although it was very rare for someone to awaken after failing to awaken the first time, there were rare cases where such happened, so it wasn't impossible. This cause people to unconsciously believe that Kranos was extremely lucky
"I wonder which element he awakened, I just hope his element isn't too strong. The heavens aren't that blind, right? His father is already terrifying enough. His son can't be another monster, can he?" Many people were curious as they continued to mutter to themselves.
