Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

In the familiar secluded corner, Yue Ying waited as promised.

To do something, one must persevere.

Teaching an artificial human created by man the Elf Breathing Skill was an unprecedented endeavor, so facing the current resistance was to be expected.

"Sit down," Yue Ying's voice was ethereal.

Merely hearing it felt like a spring bubbling up in one's heart, instantly refreshing the spirit.

"Yes," Bai E obediently crossed his legs and sat.

With her eyes closed, Yue Ying sensed Bai E's slightly chaotic breath from rushing over and calmly guided the process, "Calm your mind, stabilize your breathing. No need to respond."

"..."

Bai E evened out his breath.

Yue Ying's voice had a calming effect that easily gathered the scattered and chaotic thoughts.

The atmosphere became peaceful for a moment, and starlight gently cast a soft silver veil...

Gradually, his entire focus was concentrated on his flesh and spirit.

He could feel his breath, each inhalation like lively elves coursing through his body, trading out the impurities that were no longer useful to him.

He could feel his heartbeat, a strong and powerful heart pumping surges of warm currents; the blood flowed like majestic rivers within the wide and resilient "riverbeds".

A robust aura of life incessantly spilled out from within, his physical strength becoming ever more formidable, and the prior genetic enhancements along with many traits related to his physique had gradually taken his life towards an extraordinary realm.

Muscles, fascia, skin, nerves...

Countless structures formed a network as if woven from myriad stars, those bright nodes seemingly shimmering with light.

That light... was the sparkle of Spiritual Energy.

Spiritual Energy was everywhere, yet for some, it was like a draft passing through an open hall, leaving no trace.

For others, it was the nutrition that penetrated deep into the marrow, always ready to be commanded by their will and unleash unimaginable powers to the world.

Restraining thoughts, becoming aware of the presence of Spiritual Energy.

This was the prerequisite for starting the training in Spiritual Energy.

Sensing that the human warrior beside her had almost completely reined in his wandering thoughts, his soul focused entirely on the inward examination, Yue Ying finally spoke again—

"Let your thoughts drift, relax your body..."

"Exhale~"

"Inhale~"

[You are paying with combat experience to correct your breathing rhythm...]

[Current Following Completion: 91.3％]

[...98.5%.]

[...99.9%.]

"Cough cough cough cough!"

A sensation of tearing beyond what a human body could endure filled Bai E's chest; the body that had just been repaired yesterday was once again subjected to an unbearable load under a method of training completely unsuitable for humans.

[Node Record +1, collect more Breathing Skill secrets, you will be able to fully master this breathing rhythm.]

Yue Ying's bright eyes watched the figure beside her coughing and bending over, and under the intimate link formed through guidance, she could also feel the pain the warrior was experiencing.

It was precisely because she understood that she empathized even more.

The perseverance of this human warrior undoubtedly inspired admiration, irrespective of race or status.

["Lucky Strike" Charge +1.]

Bai E wiped the drool unwittingly escaping from the corner of his mouth and sat up straight again, "Let's go again!"

[Node Record +1…]

[Node Record +1…]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

…

The familiar scene played out once more.

Once... once... and once again...

"Cough cough cough!" The harrowing cough, accompanied by heavy noise uncontrollably ringing out for a long time, was already making Yue Ying somewhat reluctant.

"Perhaps... we should call it a day?"

She knew human medical technology was quite advanced, but it wasn't meant to be used like this.

The physical pain would inevitably lead to a mental toll, and forcing oneself to continue training would only be counterproductive.

Training in the Breathing Skill was always going to be a long-term process, and she was prepared to treat guiding Bai E as a long-term goal to work towards.

After all, even she herself could only improve by summarizing her experiences from repeated attempts, little by little.

Using the most foolish method of exhaustive trial and error, what's left is to see Bai E's own willpower.

However...

Bai E had no intention of ending it like this.

For him, every day was important, every day was a race against time.

If he didn't work hard today, a command might come down tomorrow, and he could be sent to fight to the death again, always being in danger without sufficient strength at his side.

Although his own strength was growing ever more powerful, it was still nothing compared to the world.

With every bit of power he mastered, naturally, he gained a bit more confidence in his ability to survive in this world.

Moreover, as he acquired more skills that required the burning of Spiritual Energy, relying solely on the "physical energy reserve" was not a long-term solution, only by mastering Spiritual Energy... he must master Spiritual Energy!

This was the true qualitative change!

Moreover, if even Bai E, with the experience-enhancement from Meng Meng aiding his cultivation, couldn't complete the cultivation of the Breathing Skill, then who else in this world could?

"I'm okay... cough cough cough!" Bai E forced out, utterly ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth and the sensation of his chest being torn apart.

Suppressing and enduring the pain himself, the military's medical resources were his greatest confidence, and his full dedication to wound recovery would let his special talents sprint towards ultimate progress.

[Your body is rapidly healing injuries, injury recovery progress 33%, rapid recovery (unlocked) unlock progress 93%.]

Damn it, keep going!

[Node record +1...]

[Node record +1...]

"Cough cough cough!"

"You..." Yue Ying wanted to persuade.

With gritted teeth, Bai E said, "Wait for me to come back!"

Immediately after speaking, he got up and ran, his weakened chest in no way affecting his short-term activities.

After many attempts, Bai E felt the distinctive sense that Yue Ying was trying to modify the Breathing Skill's secrets to be more suitable for human physiology, although the effects were still minimal.

But for his own interface, the data collected seemed to be enough...

[Free Creation Mode: ...current success rate "medium". However, you can aid the creation by paying a certain price (combat/general experience), (cost: 20 points of experience/min).]

Medium... not particularly high, but definitely a huge improvement from "extremely low"!

He had to try!

Tonight, he would try!

If he didn't attempt it, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully!

Arriving at the infirmary, the familiar nurse Mashati was still dutifully on duty.

Bai E, well acquainted with the routine, said "Doctor."

"Go."

Seeing the familiar face, the salty egg doctor's fingers trembled slightly as he pointed at Bai, "Again?"

Bai E nodded expressionlessly, "Needle."

Salty Egg sighed helplessly, rubbing his shiny bald head, "Go get it."

"Yes!"

Bai E shouted at the retreating figure, "Increase the dosage!"

Mashati turned back to ask for instructions, "?"

Salty Egg waved his hand, "Get it."

One shot, and he was lively as a dragon.

Looking at that once again vigorous figure, Dr. Salty Egg had a look of pity, sighing, "Ah!"

"Medic medic medic..." another nurse came rushing in, frantic.

"Don't panic, take it slow," Salty Egg said nonchalantly, lifting the lid of his teacup for a sip.

The nurse stepped aside without a detailed explanation, revealing several figures behind her, covered in blood and looking weak.

Seeing the condition of the newcomers, Salty Egg's teacup trembled, spilling hot water, ignoring the burning sensation in his hand, he stood up suddenly, "Another battle?"

"No, no..." the leader with tiger-like energy, though weak, showed off a big white smile and waved his hand, "Training... just training."

...

...

Salty Egg's gaze drifted, glancing towards the direction where the other figure had disappeared some time ago, then back again, blinking blankly.

"Awesome!"

Is this the new trend of training among the soldiers in the military camp now?
