After the Pikeman left, Zhao Gao and the other four looked at each other for a moment. Then they each found a bed to rest on.
Everyone had just arrived, and a murder had happened. To those who were born in a peaceful era, that was a scene deeply ingrained in their hearts.
They needed to calm down and think in a quiet environment.
They did not see the need to introduce themselves to one another.
Moreover, in this place where life was as worthless as grass, one could be backstabbed by someone he had just met.
The remaining people today were those who could not react in time and could not think too much.
Nonetheless, the basic rule of survival was always to protect oneself first.
No one was a fool. Those who could survive had at least begun to change their minds. They were no longer naive newbies.
Even if one was still naive, whether he could survive the next few days would still be a question.
Zhao Gao sat cross-legged on the bed, intending to continue practicing the Basic Breathing Technique.
Chiliarch Ling had said that beginners should not practice it too much, and preferably only four times.
However, that was also based on one’s physical condition. At that time, Zhao Gao’s physical condition was only that of an ordinary person. He had only completed three rounds of Breathing Exercises today.
Could there not be another round?
In addition, his physical condition had already improved so much. The situation now was different. Zhao Gao felt that he could at least practice three more rounds of the Breathing Technique.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhao Gao quietly practiced his breathing technique.
As for the other four, when they saw Zhao Gao practicing, naturally they were unwilling to fall behind. They began to practice the Breathing Technique as well.
For a moment, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Time passed minute by minute. Finally, after one-and-a-half hours, Zhao Gao completed three rounds of the breathing exercises.
The system prompt sounded in his ear, just when he finished his practice.
“EXP gained: 54 000”
“Extra Talent Profit: 27 000”
“Total EXP storage: 81 434”
On seeing that he had so much EXP to use, Zhao Gao could not help feeling excited. He wanted to add even more.
However, when he thought about the affliction after adding too many points today, he was hesitant.
He could only invest all his EXP points into the Skill level temporarily.
“Basic Breathing Technique: Level 6, 5375 Proficiency Points”
“Level 7 (8560)”
“Level 8 (13 005)”
“Level 9 (18 920)”
“Level 10 (26 515)”
He had just raised his Basic Breathing Technique Skill to level 10 when a sudden change enveloped Zhao Gao.
The moment his Skill reached Level 10, Zhao Gao’s consciousness was suddenly brought to a mountain peak.
Once his consciousness reached the peak of the mountain, Zhao Gao would calmly sit cross-legged on the ground and practice the Basic Breathing Technique over and over again.
Over there, it seemed that Zhao Gao was not disturbed by anything in the world outrside. He only practiced the Breathing Technique.
Again and again, day after day, month after month, year after year.
It was as if Zhao Gao had forgotten where he was and calmly practiced his breathing technique.

He would not be disturbed by daily cycles of eating, sleeping, or waking up from the mortal world.
He focused solely on the Basic Breathing Technique and practiced it like he was demon-possessed.
From one year, to two years, to three years… till ten years.
By that time, Zhao Gao had no need to deliberately practice the Basic Breathing Technique. During these ten years, he had been using this breathing technique, which had been inscribed into his body and soul. A casual breath of his was already a Basic Breathing Technique.
At this moment, Zhao Gao’s attention, which had been firmly fixed on the Breathing Technique, was finally woken up. He recalled something other than the breathing technique.
Zhao Gao discovered that his mind changed. He reappeared in the simple military tent, and his consciousness returned to the body-sitting cross-legged on the bed.
“Basic Breathing Technique breakthrough.”
“Upgrade: Elementary Breathing Technique.”
“Beginner Breathing Technique becomes passive.”
“Elementary Breathing Technique: After years of cultivation, you have already integrated the breathing technique into your soul and body. From now on, every breath you take is a form of cultivation.”
“The breathing technique has broken through Level 5 and leveled up to10.”
“Obtained Skill Upgrade Reward: 5 Freedom Stats points.”
“Talent bonus: 2.5 Freedom Stats Points.”
“Total: 8 Freedom Stats Points (0.5 points left)”
The moment Zhao Gao came back to his senses, the system notification sounded. He quickly opened the system’s screen and discovered what had happened.
He did not expect that his Breathing Technique would break through to Level 10. It was such a pleasant surprise. The active skill had become a passive skill.
This way, he would be able to cultivate and gain EXP at all times.
His Skill level was now at Level 10, and he received 10 EXP per second. In addition to his Talent, he received an extra half times more. This meant he received 15 EXP per second.
With 24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86,400 seconds a day, multiplied by 15, he could gain 1,296,000 EXP in one day.
He had almost 1.3 million EXP points in a day!
He was going to be so awesome that he could fly straight into the sky.
Even if he needed more EXP points for leveling up later on, he could still level up quickly.
The most important thing was that he would be far ahead of his peers who were struggling in the Infinite Space.
“No, no, I can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it any longer, I’ll drift away. I need to sleep! I’ll get up tomorrow to train.” Zhao Gao was so excited that he almost jumped up. However, he suppressed his emotions in the end.
He tried to sleep. After resting for the night, he would not be troubled by the EXP he needed to level up.
Lying on the small bed, covered by a simple straw mat, Zhao Gao closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
Zhao Gao tossed and turned, not knowing when he eventually fell asleep.
He slept very lightly that night. The intense emotions in his mind kept making him dream.
In his excitement, he dreamed of killing everyone in the Talent Space.
He also dreamed of the people who had been killed during the day. Their indignant and resentful expressions had turned into vengeful spirits in his dreams. They cried out to him, wanting to drag him down with them.
There were also dreams of himself becoming so powerful. After being discovered by others, he was persecuted. He was then killed. Others formed groups to chase after him.
Every time he dreamed, Zhao Gao was in a dazed state as though he was going to wake up. Yet, he was not awake.

Just like that, the night passed. Zhao Gao was woken up by the sound of drums.
“Bang… Bang… Bang…” The strong drumbeat reached Zhao Gao in the military tent and forcefully woke him up.
Zhao Gao did not know if ancient military camps used drums to wake people up, but he was sure they do use drums here.
The sound of the drum was so loud that even those who were dead asleep would be woken up. It made it impossible for them to continue sleeping.
Zhao Gao quickly got up, put on his armor, and left the military tent. After emptying his bladder, he ran to the field.
