The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　vent.

　Arvit looked at him with some concern and asked carefully, "How are you? Can you feel the energy flowing through your body?"

　“Qi?” Darke frowned. “Is this what qi is?”

　Alvie nodded and said, "Another function of Komodo potions is to simulate the flow of qi. The process of feeling qi is like copying calligraphy. Once you are familiar with it, you will naturally be able to distinguish real qi."

　"I see."

　Dak closed his eyes and carefully felt it.

　The "qi" simulated by the Komodo potion appeared with exceptional clarity in his perception.

　His study of "Netherworld God Techniques" clearly gave him a level of perception that surpassed that of ordinary people.

　He raised his hand, followed the flow of "qi," and made a few gestures in front of his body before finally settling it near his navel.

　So he said, "It's stopped; the masses are mostly concentrated in this area."

　“That’s where the navel chakra is,” Alvitt smiled. “It seems that the chakra that’s easiest for you to open is this navel chakra. Take a short rest, and I’ll teach you a breathing technique. If all goes well, you should be able to open your first chakra in a week or two.”

　"Breathing techniques?" Dark looked down at his navel and suddenly asked, "How do you know when you've activated them?"

　"When energy is generated within the chakras, forming vortices that flow continuously, that is when they are opened," said Alvette. "The opening of each chakra brings a slight improvement to one's basic physical condition, so the feeling is very noticeable."

　Dak pondered for a moment: "Are there good and bad methods of breathing?"

　Arvit shook her head and said, "The breathing techniques that have been passed down to this day are all the result of countless refinements. Even if there are good and bad ones, the difference is not too great. In the end, breathing techniques are just the keys to opening the chakras. A warrior's qualities are determined by the chakras, not the breathing technique."

　"I see."

　Dak took a deep breath.

　"Then let's get started."

　……

　Arvit opened the ceiling of the training ground to let in fresh air, and instructed Dark and Aurora to sit cross-legged in the center of the field.

　She slightly adjusted their posture, sat down in front of them, and began to teach them breathing techniques.

　Suna Montilfari stood to the side, observing carefully.

　In essence, breathing techniques are not difficult and have no barriers to entry.

　During wartime, everyone practiced martial arts, and almost every soldier had to learn breathing techniques.

　Even if you can't open your chakras, you can adjust your breathing through breathing techniques to increase your physical strength and make long journeys more stable and longer.

　Once the chakra is activated, it's equivalent to mastering a basic buff spell that can be cast instantly without needing to cast a spell.

　Simply by circulating "qi" to the corresponding parts, it can be strengthened to a certain extent.

　As more chakras are opened, the quality and quantity of "qi" will continuously improve, and the strengthening effect will increase level by level.

　Opening the three chakras is equivalent to mastering a basic buff spell.

　Opening the six chakras is equivalent to mastering an intermediate-level buff spell.

　If the seventh chakra can be opened

　The Wheel is equivalent to mastering a high-level buff spell, while also gaining access to a special, exclusive spell.

　Of course, the quality and quantity of "qi" and the "momentum" gained after all seven chakras are fully opened vary from person to person.

　For highly gifted individuals like Diana and Aurora, the rate at which their chakras generate "qi" far exceeds their consumption. They can even naturally integrate it into their limbs and bones without needing to mobilize it, which is beyond the scope of intermediate-level enhancement magic.

　Instead, it's like having a high-level buff spell constantly active!

　This is what is known as innate superhuman strength.

　This level of achievement is almost impossible.

　……

　Just half an hour later, Yalvit had taught the breathing technique in its entirety.

　Relying on the concentration he had cultivated while practicing "Netherworld Art," Dak performed breathing exercises according to Arvit's instructions.

　A complete cycle of this breathing technique takes about five minutes.

　Three cycles equal one period, which is fifteen minutes.

　Aside from initial sluggishness, Dak gradually became more proficient.

　Fifteen minutes later, he successfully completed one cycle of breathing. Afterward, he clearly felt a heat gathering near his navel in his abdomen.

　He suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could speak, Alvette immediately pressed his temples: "Don't be discouraged, continue for two more cycles."

　Dak immediately calmed down and continued his breathing exercises.

　Seeing that he had closed his eyes again, Arvit slightly withdrew her fingers and exchanged a serious look with Suna Montilfali.

　A hint of surprise crossed their eyes.

　Because after only one cycle, the navel chakra showed signs of opening!

　While not as exceptionally gifted as Diana and Aurora, this was clearly not a talent that could be described as "ordinary."

　Aurora, who was sitting next to Dark, also opened her eyes and looked at Dark's profile with curiosity.

　A glow emanated from her skin, a sign that her energy channels were flowing smoothly.

　It is evident that she has already connected all six chakras in her body and is able to operate them freely after just learning the breathing technique.

　Therefore, she did not continue, but instead secretly observed Dark.

　……

　Another half hour later.

　Dak completed the third cycle without any stagnation. The heat emanating from around his navel finally reached a threshold and burst out without any obstruction.

　In an instant, the heat flowed throughout his body, resulting in a comprehensive improvement in his physical condition.

　And at the navel area, an invisible vortex was clearly formed!

　"It's started already?"

　Dak opened his eyes, slowly adjusting to the changes around him.

　It was so easy that I barely felt anything.

　"Congratulations, you have taken the first step on the path of a warrior."

　Lord Montilfali looked at her with admiration.

　Meanwhile, Alvitt was still pondering: "It's strange. Talent is something that should be determined at birth. Under normal circumstances, your talent should only be enough to unlock all seven chakras. But your talent has clearly improved significantly."

　"Talent enhancement?"

　Upon hearing this, Dark's pupils constricted slightly, and he thought to himself, "Could it also be due to the initial activation of the Demon God's bloodline?"

　His demonic bloodline has actually begun to awaken due to the recovery of his past life memories, but the awakening progress has remained at 0%. Therefore, there are no signs that would cause his bloodline to be exposed.

　Even so, his magical talent was terrifyingly enhanced, increasing almost every day he woke up.

　But that is the bloodline of a demon god, while the talent of "qi" belongs to "humans," at most extending to "subhumans," and theoretically has no connection with the bloodline of a "demon god."

　"Could there be other reasons?"

　Dak fell into deep thought.

　……

　"Let's re-evaluate your talent."

　Arvit's words interrupted Dark's thoughts.

　He asked, "How do I do it?"

　"Just close your eyes," said Arvit.

　Dak then closed his eyes.

　Arvit then raised her hand and touched his brow with her finger again.

　Then Dak felt a warm current seep into his brow and slowly spread to every corner of his body.

　About two minutes later, Arvit removed her finger, her eyes filled with surprise.

　"How is it?" Lord Montilfali asked curiously.

　"Eight chakras! There's an extra hidden chakra!" Alvit exclaimed excitedly.

　"This is wonderful news," Lord Montilfali exclaimed. "Your child is truly blessed. Even if he wasn't born a saint, awakening his powers later in life is not impossible. It seems the golden apples you consumed to maintain the purity of your bloodline weren't entirely ineffective."

　"what!"

　Arvit hugged Dark's head and gave it a big peck, then said, "Now that the first chakra has been opened, let's start the physical conditioning training!"

　"Wait a minute." Dark struggled to break free from Alvit's embrace and asked疑惑地, "If there are eight chakras, what is the eighth chakra?"

　Arvit then released her grip and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Lion King Wheel."

　"Lion King Wheel? What are its characteristics?" Dark's mind stirred, and he suddenly had some ideas.

　Alvit explained, "Humans normally have only seven chakras; only those with exceptional gifts have more than seven. These extra chakras are all connected to the seventh chakra, the Brahma chakra."

　Like a wheel, it is located outside the human body.

　Each time a chakra is opened, an additional "energy" is created. In magician terms, it's equivalent to gaining an additional unique spell.

　“I see,” Dark said expectantly. “I hope my ‘momentum’ will have the flair of the ‘Beast King Fist.’”

　Arvit asked in confusion, "Beast King Fist?"

　Dark smiled slightly: "It's Leomon's ultimate move."

　……

　The opening of the first chakra is merely the beginning of the path of martial arts.

　In order to master the "Beast King Fist" as soon as possible, Dark gritted his teeth and began high-intensity physical training under the distressed gaze of Arvit.

　Aurora, who initially trained with him, withdrew midway because it was ineffective and became a support staff member wiping sweat and handing out water.

　the other side.

　Dark's magical spirits also began their learning journey with the arrival of their tutors.

　Because Dark gave the tutors the power to reward them with red flowers, the magical spirits were all motivated.

　Ms. Cook's teaching style is very strict.

　Magical elves who don't pay attention in class and daydream will be called to the podium and hit on the hand with a ruler.

　Although magical spirits react to pain less strongly than humans, and Ms. Cook's strength was simply no match for their defenses.

　But the humiliation of being punished in public still spurred them to listen attentively.

　In short, you can slap someone's hand, but you can't lose face!

　……

　The first day of "summer tutoring".

　Both Dark, the master, and his magical spirits successfully navigated the ordeal, experiencing both pain and joy.

　In the evening, Dak, exhausted, joined everyone in hosting a farewell banquet for Lord Montilfali.

　After dinner, Lord Montilfari called him to the balcony alone.

　Dak could roughly guess what she wanted to say, so he took the initiative to say, "Aunt Suna, you don't need to worry, Dak. I will take good care of Aurora as if she were my own sister."

　Lord Montilfali was silenced for a moment by his kiss, and after a long while, she turned to look at the night sky and said softly, "Then I'll leave it to you."

　Once the two returned to the living room, Aurora couldn't help but approach Dark and ask, "What did my mother say?"

　Dark said calmly, "She told me to take good care of you like a younger sister."

　Aurora: "Huh?"
