“Breath of Thunder.”
“Description: A training system from Demon Slayer, primarily used to enhance cardiopulmonary function, allowing the blood to absorb a large amount of oxygen in a short time, thereby significantly boosting physical abilities temporarily to match those of a demon.
“Generally referred to as the ‘Total Concentration Breathing Technique,’ its higher state allows the practitioner to maintain this concentration even while sleeping, known as the ‘Total Concentration Constant.’
“The Breath of Thunder is the fastest and most explosive of all breathing techniques, requiring extremely high physical fitness from the user, making it very difficult to master.”
Tang An’s spirit was invigorated; luck had not disappointed him.
This was another skill-based reward.
Tang An naturally knew about the Breath of Thunder, a training system from the powerhouse anime Demon Slayer, used by a character named Zenitsu Agatsuma.
Without a doubt, this was a much-needed ability for Tang An.
After his battle with Zhou Wei, Tang An realized his offensive capabilities were too weak.
The power of the Titans varied from person to person and could sometimes be a burden.
For instance, fighting in human form against capable enemies like Zhou Wei was more convenient. Transforming into a Titan made him an easy target.
A sudden fit of convulsions ensued, and with a final tremor, knowledge and techniques of the Breath of Thunder appeared in Tang An’s mind.
Like Shave and Moonwalk, this required step-by-step training; instant mastery was out of the question.
“It’s just the breathing technique.”
Tang An was a bit disappointed. He remembered that the Breath of Thunder had six sword forms: attack techniques.
But now, he had none.
Oh well, overall, this dice roll was all alright.
“Let’s start training with the Breath of Thunder.”
Jumping down from the branch, Tang An began adjusting his breathing according to the method of the Breath of Thunder.
It was uncomfortable as if submerged in water, with a constant stabbing pain in his organs and a suffocating feeling.
Gradually, Tang An felt heat spreading through his body. His blood flowed rapidly, and his heartbeat became irregularly fast.
Each breath seemed to follow a rhythm.
Like lightning, swift. After just a minute, Tang An couldn’t continue.
“Indeed, physical foundation is crucial.”
Tang An’s breathing returned to normal, feeling a bit winded, and his throat was utterly hoarse as if needles were piercing it.
Whether it was the Six Styles, the Breath of Thunder, or the power of the Titans, they all depended on physical strength.
A substantial body was the foundation for these training systems.
A skyscraper rises from the ground.
From now on, Tang An would place more emphasis on physical training.
A month later, in the Forest of Giant Trees.
“Huff…”
Special rhythmic breathing, Tang An’s mouth and nose opened and closed, and golden lightning appeared around him.
However, these lightning bolts were as thin as hair and flashed momentarily.
As the breathing continued, Tang An’s muscles twitched, especially his heart, which pounded like a drum, getting faster and louder.
His organs contracted and expanded, blood flowed quickly, and his bodily functions operated at a speed far beyond average.
An hour later, Tang An stopped the Breath of Thunder and collapsed on the ground, drenched in sweat and exhausted.
His muscles and organs felt like they were being pricked with needles.
It took him a whole month to maintain the Breath of Thunder for just one hour, which showed how difficult it was to train.
However, Tang An was excited.
Each use of the Breath of Thunder made him feel his muscles and functions were active and vibrant. Despite the pain, his physical condition slowly improved after each session.
Moreover, Tang An had a hunch that combining Shave with the Breath of Thunder would result in an incredible speed boost.
Whether for short or long-distance movement, the improvement would be significant.
And with continuous training, this improvement would keep increasing.
Tang An’s goal was to train the Breath of Thunder to the level of normal breathing, using it 24/7, replacing regular breathing entirely.
But for now, even an hour was too much, let alone a day, a year, or ten years, to make it a natural breathing method.
Aside from training in the Breath of Thunder this month, Tang An didn’t neglect shaving, Moonwalk, or basic physical training.
It was almost time to go to the Marley Empire and seize the last Titan power.
Casually opening the light screen, Tang An saw that he had drawn the eighth monthly reward dice last night.
“A lace bra.”
“Description:…”
Tang An didn’t even bother reading the description.
About 1820 years ago, the Marley Empire was destroyed by the Eldian Empire, which wielded the power of the Titans.
However, they successfully revived their nation 100 years ago, seizing seven of the nine Titans from the Eldian Empire and using them to colonize other nations, occupying most of the world.
This made many countries hostile towards Marley, and due to their reliance on the power of the Titans, their technology lagged behind other nations.
Several battlefield defeats reminded Marley of the Founding Titan.
Reiner and the others were sent to seize the Founding Titan, but they had all fallen to Tang An.
As a result, only the War Hammer Titan remained in the entire Marley Empire.
“This should be the Marley Empire.”
After ten days, Tang An stood at a bustling port, looking at the Marley, which resembled a country from the First World War era. Compared to the world inside the walls, it was indeed more advanced.
The port was bustling, with many people wearing military coats or suits. Tang An did not stand out in his T-shirt and beach shorts.
As one of the top nations, Marley was naturally a center for international exchange, hence its prosperity!
There were airships in the sky and ships, including cruises and battleships, on the sea!
Recalling his memories, Tang An remembered that the War Hammer Titan was held by a family called Tybur.
This family seemed quite famous, supposedly a noble family.
Since they were nobles, it should be easy to find them.
Lighting a cigarette, Tang An exhaled a puff of smoke and left the port, heading straight to a high-end hotel for a good night’s rest.
The next evening, guided by the hotel staff, Tang An arrived at an extravagant and grand European-style castle.
Looking at the castle gate, he saw a few guards patrolling.
Tang An jumped from the side wall, disappearing and reappearing eight meters away, repeating this process.
Each time, he flashed eight meters, the maximum distance he could cover with one use of Shave.
Unnoticed, Tang An entered the castle.
At that moment, in the castle, the current head of the Tybur family, Willy Tybur, was dressed in a suit and tie, enjoying dinner with his family.
It was a lavish meal.
Maids attended the dining table.
“Mind if I join?”
Tang An appeared out of thin air in the hall, greeting everyone.
Willy held his knife and fork, his face calm but with a hint of surprise and wariness in his eyes.
How did this person appear? He didn’t notice.
Seeing no one speaking, Tang a casually pulled out a chair and sat down, scanning the room before looking at Willy at the head of the table.
