Chapter 50: The First Hunter King
The living conditions had once been harsh to the extreme.
That was until the pioneer known as the “First Hunter King” appeared.
Through countless observations of Dragons and other mythical creatures battling, he discovered that before a Dragon unleashed its devastating breath, its chest cavity would produce a special resonant frequency.
This mad genius began to imitate that frequency.
He forcibly controlled his breathing rhythm, making a mortal’s fragile lungs adapt to the high concentrations of violent magical power in the air.
Thus, the very first Breathing Technique was born.
Because of this, he took the first step as a human professional, becoming the first mortal to ascend the Stairway to Godhood.
The so-called Breathing Techniques were, in essence, methods of forcibly absorbing the free-floating aether energy in the air through specific breathing rhythms and chest resonance.
Within the body, they constructed a high-pressure circulation system, strengthening the physical form and opening up an energy pool for storage.
