After Chiliarch Ling finished his introduction, everyone followed his instructions step by step, and practiced the Breathing Technique.
Breathe; hold your breath; breathe. Zhao Gao practiced again and again, trying his best to master the Breathing Technique as quickly as possible.
Bit by bit, he began to familiarize himself with the steps. He practiced again and again. Finally, with great difficulty, Zhao Gao managed to complete his first complete breath cycle.
As he inhaled, he sucked in the world energy from the air. This energy was sucked in through Zhao Gao’s mouth.
It made his brain cool and clear. Now, his mind was obviously more active than usual.
And when Zhao Gao held his breath, this energy, which he felt deeply, was like a candy he was holding in his mouth.
He had truly achieved what was described in the legends. His mouth was full of saliva, just like nectar.
After swallowing the ‘nectar’, starting from his esophagus to his stomach, wherever the energy passed, his cells would feel like they had been moisturized after going through a long drought.
The cells scrambled to absorb the energy.
The remaining energy in his stomach continued to play its role. First, it went to his internal organs, and then to his muscles, bones, and skin.
All the cells in his body began to feast.
In the end, Zhao Gao breathed out the energy that his body did not need, and expelled the impurities in his body.
It took Zhao Gao half an hour to complete a full and effective cycle of the Breathing Exercise.
Zhao Gao had just completed this when a mechanical voice reached his ears. The system screen automatically appeared in front of him.
“Obtained skill: Basic Breathing Technique”
“EXP Points received: 1,800. Talent Effect :+900 EXP points”
Looking at this information, Zhao Gao suddenly realized that the EXP he had just obtained had been stored.
“Level: 0 (Upgrade experience: 0 / 1) ↑”
“Storage EXP (2700 points)”
Not only was there an EXP storage bar, but the level also began to light up with a faint golden rim, followed by a ‘↑’ symbol.
As an old bookworm, Zhao Gao naturally knew what was going on. With just a simple tap, it would automatically level up!
Zhao Gao continued reading and finally saw Basic Breathing Technique in the Skill column.
“Obtained skill: Basic Breathing Technique”
“Skill Level: 1”
“Upgrade proficiency for the next level: 1 / 1000 (A complete skill cultivation can obtain 1 proficiency level. One EXP value can be converted to 1 proficiency level.)”
“Effect: Absorb natural energy to evolve.”
“This is the beginning of the supernatural, as well as the only way you can freely gain EXP.”
“Every Skill level could grant 1 Free Stats point.”
“Evaluation: No matter how good a skyscraper is, it is built from the basics.”
After reading this, Zhao Gao formed a conjecture.
With the EXP he had gained, he should be able to upgrade his Character level and Skill level. Otherwise, there would not be a ‘↑’ symbol on the Basic Breathing Technique.
At the thought of this, Zhao Gao began to calculate how to level up and maximize his EXP.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Gao decided to try upgrading his Character level and see what the system says about Character Stats Enhancement.
At the thought of this, Zhao Gao clicked on the levels with the ‘↑’.
In an instant, Zhao Gao had never felt so refreshed.
The moment he leveled up, he felt a cooling sensation from head to toe. It was as if he had drunk Sprite in the middle of the night. His heart was fluttering and cool!
Furthermore, all the fatigue from today’s training had left his body. It was as if he had gone for a spa treatment.
Even his stamina had been restored.

After the upgrade, Zhao Gao felt even stronger.
He felt different, as if he was eighteen years old again, with the strength of his body and the fullness of his vitality radiating from his entire body.
Even his 500-degree myopia had returned to normal vision. No, it should be said that his vision was clearer than before. His eyesight had returned to that of when he was young.
He could see farther and clearer than an adult.
His brain capability had been restored to that when he was eighteen years old. He could clearly feel it in his learning, thinking, and calculation ability. His brain activity was a lot more active..
The change in his body was even more obvious. His heart beat strongly, his nerves reflected, the flow of his blood, the feeling when he clenched his fist, all showed Zhao Gao clearly how he had changed.
He had been in suboptimal health, with all kinds of minor illnesses, since he was twenty-seven years old. He had truly returned to his eighteen-year-old state.
Was this Stats Enhancement? Love it, love it!
Zhao Gao thought happily in his heart. He could not help but clench his fists and savor this young and strong body.
Since he had leveled up, Zhao Gao was going to upgrade his Skill level.
According to the Basic Breathing Technique, this was the only way for them to gain EXP.
The upgrade of Characters and Skills required EXP points.
With regards to this sort of upgrade system, Zhao Gao knew without a doubt that upgrading EXP in the later stages would require a massive amount of EXP points.
He had just completed the Breathing Technique once, and thus, had not earned any Talent profit. He had only gained 1,800 EXP points.
However, as the duration of his Breathing Exercise was 30 minutes. he had actually gained an average of 1 EXP point per second.
He completed the Breathing Technique once, and he obtained only a little Skill proficiency. Therefore, an EXP of 999 could be rather difficult to obtain.
And this was only a Level 1 skill!
Not to mention the later stages, perhaps in the future, everyone would use EXP points to level up their skills. If they solely rely on hard work, that would be a fool’s dream.
In a fast-paced atmosphere like Infinite Space, falling behind would be the price of one’s life.
Therefore, Zhao Gao thought that improvement in this Basic Breathing Technique would be of utmost importance to him.
Moreover, Chiliarch Ling seemed to have mentioned that this cultivation technique would present a big surprise in helping to break through the foundation.
No matter what kind of surprise it would be, it would not be a problem to raise the Skill level first.
Moreover, after his Character level had increased, the EXP required for the next level of Character level made him feel even worse.
“Level: 1 (0 / 10000)”
This was the EXP points he needed to level up to Level 2. This made Zhao Gao decide that the Basic Breathing Technique was very important.
As long as his Skill level increased, he would know if a higher level meant that he would gain more EXP points.
At the thought of this, Zhao Gao clicked on the ‘↑’ symbol of the Basic Breathing Technique.
“Basic Breathing Technique: Level 2 (0 / 1280)”
After reaching Level 2, Zhao Gao stopped his urge to continue. He turned off the system’s screen and quickly began to practice the Breathing Techniques. He wanted to test whether the higher the level, the more EXP points he would gain.
Breathe. Hold your breath. Breathe.
After absorbing the natural energy into his body, he would then digest them.
After half an hour, Zhao Gao turned on the system screen again and saw the system announcement:
“EXP gained: 3600”
“Extra Talent Profit: 1,800”

“Total EXP gained: 5400”
“Total EXP storage: 6,099”
At this point, Zhao Gao discovered a pattern. He wondered if at every level of the Basic Breathing Technique, every second would give him the same level of EXP value as the Skill.
If he wanted to prove this conjecture, he would have to upgrade his Skill level again.
At the thought of this, Zhao Gao decided to invest all his EXP into the Basic Breathing Technique.
