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."
