"What's up?" Herag opened the door and saw Old Henry, with a young man wearing heavy armor behind him.

Herag recognized him as the captain of the castle's escort team, the Emil Knight.

This is a big shot in the castle, it seems like he's looking for something to do with himself.

"Are you Herag?" Emil looked up and down at Herag and asked.

"Yes, Lord Emir," Herag answered honestly.

"Deep blue, check Emil's body data."

"Emil: Strength 2.1, Agility 1.6, Constitution 2.2, Spirit 1.1, contains unknown energy within the body."

For the first time, Herag had a direct understanding of the strength of knights.

Although Emil's data may seem slightly higher than him, in actual combat, it is not just a slight improvement, but a comprehensive improvement.

An increase in strength may result in a tenfold increase in actual combat capabilities, which is not a concept at all.

Emil's body still has some unknown energy, which Herag speculates should be the power of the knight.

If we add in this unknown power, the actual combat energy still needs to be improved by an unknown amount.

"I heard you have good archery skills, let me show you," Emil said simply and clearly.

Old Henry passed a look of encouragement on the side, and Herag didn't procrastinate. He immediately returned to the room and brought a long bow.

Emil looked around and pointed to a tall pine tree in the distance, saying, "Can the tallest pine cone be shot down?"

"Sure," Herrag said confidently.

"Let's start," Emil said.

Herag opened his long bow and activated his auxiliary aiming.

Now he has enough strength, and his long bow is fully drawn.

After a whoosh, the distant pine cones fell to the ground.

Emil nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you are a natural marksman and qualified to join the escort team. Come with me to the training ground."

Herag clearly had no right to refuse, and followed Emil honestly. Old Henry grinned happily.

The training ground of the castle is a wide and flat area, and it is time for training. There are many guards training at this time.

After Emil brought Herag over, many people naturally noticed.

However, Emil didn't dare to ask too much. They continued to train and worked even harder.

Emil brought Herag to a clearing and turned around, saying, "Herag, do you know why knights are powerful?"

Herag was not clear about this issue, so he could only shake his head.

"Because of breathing," Emil said in a deep voice.

"Breathing method?" Herag heard this term for the first time.

Emil continued, "That's right, breathing allows us to develop and mobilize the power hidden within our bodies. Through accumulating practice of breathing over time, not only can our bodies become stronger, but it may also awaken the seeds of life. People who awaken the seeds of life can be called knights."

"Can I awaken the seed of life?" Herag asked.

"Not necessarily, only a very small number of lucky people have this qualification, and the vast majority of people will never be able to become knights in their lifetime," Emil said.

He looked at Herag and continued, "You are very talented in archery. Next, I will teach you the Earth Breathing Technique. I hope you can grow up quickly and share your worries with the Baron."

"Thank you, Lord Emir. Thank you, Lord Baron." Herag punched his right fist in his chest, performing a standard loyalty ritual, and he was still very skilled in these surface skills.

"Hmm! You have to remember, thank Lord Baron for everything." Emil was very satisfied with Herag's attitude.

"Deep Blue, start recording all Emil's movements, especially those related to the earth breathing technique." Herag's mind moved and gave the command.

"Recording has started."

Emil began to teach the earth breathing technique, and he said in a deep voice, "Breathing is something that everyone is born with. The earth breathing technique has a unique breathing rhythm that can give birth to a breath in your body. This breath travels through your body in a specific path, slowly strengthening your muscles and bones..."

"The earth breathing method has been recorded."

After explaining the precautions, Emil said, "Give it a try."

The earth breathing method requires many strange movements to be combined with a unique breathing rhythm for cultivation. Beginners find it difficult to perform the movements accurately and grasp the breathing rhythm well.

"Deep Blue, activate the Earth Breathing Technique to assist in cultivation."

Deep Blue quickly appeared before Herag's eyes with every movement, and Herag imitated and began to do the first movement.

"Shift your right hand one centimeter upwards and your left hand 0.5 centimeters downwards."

After Herrag made his first move, Deep Blue quickly corrected his movements and provided an accurate offset.

He adjusted his movements according to the instructions of the chip.

Emil was somewhat surprised, admiring Herag as he remained silent.

The earth breathing method has a total of fifteen movements, each of which is difficult.

With the assistance of the chip, Herrag struggled to complete the entire set of movements, but after completing it, he collapsed and couldn't stand steadily.

"Effective exercise detected, repeating this set of movements 100 times can increase strength by 0.2, agility by 0.5, and physical fitness by 0.3."

"A hundred times, it doesn't seem like a lot," Herrag felt more motivated when he saw the prompt given by the chip.

Persisting in hard work is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in not being able to see the progress bar. Herag can see immediate feedback and is very motivated to practice.

Emil remained silent throughout the entire process until Herag completed his practice of Earth Breathing and said, "You are very talented! I will pay attention to you."

He was busy with his affairs, and after instructing Herag to persist in his practice, he continued to be busy. Zhaoshuyuan.com

"Deep Blue, how long does it take to complete a hundred practices?"

"Based on the current physical condition, one can practice twice a day. After seven days of practice, one can improve their physical fitness. The estimated number of times one can practice per day is six to seven, and it is estimated to complete one hundred practices in twenty-three days."

This progress is faster than Herag imagined.

After this day, Herag's identity also changed.

He went from a lowly servant to a castle guard, earning a monthly salary of five silver coins and also receiving a set of armor and a long sword.

The daily meal has been upgraded to two meals, with one meat meal every three days. However, this is not very important for Herag, as he can rely on hunting to obtain meat.

Emil values him very much and doesn't need to perform any tasks during this period. He just needs to focus on practicing the earth breathing technique.

Herag goes hunting in the forest every day, then comes back to practice the earth breathing technique, and so on.

Twenty days later.

"The first stage of the Earth Breathing Technique has been completed, and the current physical state is: Strength 1.6, Agility 1.1, Physical Fitness 1.7, and Spirit 1.2."

"The second stage of practicing the Earth Breathing Technique can begin. Repeating it a thousand times can increase strength by 0.4, agility by 0.5, and physical fitness by 0.5."

Herag couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the chip prompt, realizing that most of his efforts over the past half month had not been in vain.

He is now living a fulfilling life every day, not only hunting and practicing, but also eating and sleeping. Tomorrow, he will have an additional course where Emil will teach him swordsmanship.

Herag now has strong physical fitness, but lacks effective means of defense, and archery can only be used for long-range combat.

In this era of cold weapons, there is still more close combat in close combat.
