The real national martial arts have also been lost in the crowd.
With the experience in the Sky Arena and the knowledge of the martial arts schools in this world, Long can be sure that his martial arts are exactly the same as the killing skills of the Zoldyck family. The only difference is the moves, power and training process.
What’s important is that, because the overall environment of the Hunter world is not so peaceful, the forces are complex and quite cruel... Therefore, the essence of most of the martial arts that came into being is to kill the enemy... Therefore, whether it is an ordinary fighter or a martial arts school born from a master, everyone’s position and starting point are the same.
This kind of atmosphere is more in line with the true meaning of martial arts, which is to pursue powerful and effective destructive power...
To put it bluntly, everything is determined by the environment.
On the water surface of a small stream, two stones, one large and one small, were exposed.
The big one was sitting cross-legged.
The small one is sitting with Xiaojie.
The sun shone down from the sky, brushing against the two of them.
Long had no intention of giving Xiaojie any guidance, he just practiced on his own... This kid watched for a while and couldn't help but feel itchy, so he started to imitate him and meditate like him.
Long was quite surprised... because Xiaojie realized that 'breathing' was the key. After a moment, the rhythm of his breathing became the same as his own, but the pace and frequency were not as fast as his own.
The exhaled breath...is also soft and without strength.
Another minute passed, and Xiao Jie's face suddenly turned red, and his cheeks puffed up... Then, he immediately broke down, opened his eyes, coughed violently, and covered his chest with his hands.
His body tilted, and just as he was about to fall off the rock into the water, he was grabbed by Long.
"I feel... I feel... my lungs are burning... it hurts..." Xiao Jie's face turned pale, and he looked at Long who was calm and composed, "but my whole body... is warm and comfortable."
Long grabbed him by the collar as if he was holding a chicken, jumped to the shore and put him down.
"You are still young, and your body is still developing... Your flesh, blood, bones, and internal organs are all very tender... Naturally, you can't withstand the side effects of this kind of breath." Long pointed his finger at Xiaojie's chest, "Especially your lungs... Different breathing will bring a certain amount of pressure to your lungs! If you do it too recklessly, be careful that your lungs will explode..."
"Amazing!"
Long thought that Xiaojie would be scared, but he suddenly exclaimed, clenched his fists, and stared at him with full energy: "Mr. Long... You don't have such concerns at all? Great!"
"..."
Hazy rubbed his hair and yawned, "If you want to learn, slow down your breathing first, then let your body adapt little by little...then gradually increase the frequency and intensity."
"I understand!"
Xiaojie bowed to Long sincerely and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Mr. Long!"
"..."
Long looked at Xiaojie's appearance, feeling a little complicated...
When he really got to know Xiaojie, he found that it was really hard not to like this little guy... He was straightforward. As the saying goes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon. Moreover, Xiaojie seemed to be a bit nervous sometimes, but in the process of getting along with others, he was very delicate... He could clearly perceive other people's emotions or sensitive points and would not step on thunder.
This will make the process of getting to know each other very comfortable.
For example, Xiaojie judged that even if he followed his study, Long would not be angry... If Long cared about this matter, he would take the initiative to avoid it without Long saying anything.
Furthermore, some of his actions and words are also from the heart...
Besides, how old is he now?
There are too few people like this, both in the past life and in this world.
Rare species...
To be honest, before coming here, Long's impression of Xiaojie was... quite average.
But now, there is a slight change...
This kid, as long as we don't work together, we can still get along...
"This kind of breathing will put a certain burden on your body in the short term... Breathing will change the flow rate of your blood, increase the efficiency of various organs, and stimulate your body to grow..."
“When you breathe, remember to empty your mind and concentrate on sensing the process of the air circulating in your lungs… slowly, extend it to your limbs and entire body…”
"Uh-huh!"
Immediately, Long put his hands in his pockets and led Xiaojie out of the forest.
He was walking in front and Xiaojie was following behind, listening carefully to Long's words and nodding his head seriously.
Chapter 56 A phone call
"Long, are you leaving?"
"You should go back to work... What a pity, it's rare to meet someone like you who I get along with... We haven't gotten to know each other well yet..."
"Peng Ji, what are you thinking about? Long is from a big city, he must have something important to do... How can he be like you, idle around and drinking every day!"
"Huh? Peyton... you wanna fight?"
"come!"
In the pub in Mitte, there was constant noise and a lively atmosphere.
There was a drunken man who raised his glass to Long who was sitting at the bar as a farewell gift, and his tone was full of reluctance.
But he was soon laughed at by another person.
Both of them were very unhappy and were about to go outside to resolve the conflict, but were stopped in time by the people around them.
"Don't worry, I'll come back when I have time..."
Long raised his glass and toasted everyone back.
"Next time you come, come to my house and sit down!"
"Whale Island is a great place, it's worth coming back!"
"We're going to miss you!"
Everyone started to make a fuss.
But actually...Long was just speaking for politeness.
Although Whale Island has a special meaning in his heart, that is only relative to the anime... It is enough for him to come to such a place once.
During this month, he would occasionally step out of the forest and return to the tavern.
After a few visits, he became familiar with the other locals, and he was ready to leave early the next morning.
Some friends who heard the news came over to join in the fun... Today, Long was also the one paying for the whole meal.
I think the people here are...quite interesting.
They are all very simple and honest, and they love their hometown very much.
"Thank you for taking care of Xiaojie during this time."
Behind the bar, Mitt suddenly bent down and said to Long.
"I should be thanking you..." Long smiled slightly.
Although he paid, Mitt asked Xiaojie to bring him lunch boxes during this period.
Moreover, I just washed one of his suits today...it was very clean.
"Xiaojie has been without parents since he was young... He..."
Mitt hesitated, "I rarely see him become dependent on someone..."
"It's not dependence, you think too much... Xiaojie is different from other children, he is actually very mature inside... The reason why he likes to pester me is because I can bring him some interesting things to satisfy his curiosity... He has a strong desire for knowledge, once he opens his mouth, it is difficult to stop him... This is also the nature of a child of his age. Well... The relationship between us is more like friends..."
Seeing her expression, Long pointed a finger and emphasized.
When Mitt heard this, his eyes looked a little lonely.
"I have a little personal suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
Mitt looked over.
"You can't catch him... I understand how you feel... In fact, sometimes letting go is also an option, and you can live a little easier! Who knows, the future may bring you surprises... You are very important to him... Just like a mother. So, before letting go, try to cherish the time when he grows up... It will be a beautiful memory."
"He and Jin Fulishi are the same kind of people...the difference is, Jin is a rotten person, and Xiaojie is not."
When he heard the name of Jinfulis, Mitt's face changed instantly.
"You...as expected..."
"I don't know Jin, nor am I a hunter... Don't get me wrong, I just found out some things. Don't worry, this is his home. No matter how high or far he flies, he will always come back..."
Long saw through her thoughts and smiled.
"Thank you."
Mitt finally said only two words.
It seems...Long's guidance didn't have much effect on her.
She had won Xiaojie's custody through legal means...
Moreover, after Jin left, his relatives passed away, and he never came back...
Perhaps in Mitt's eyes, Kim is not only not a qualified father, but also not a competent family member.
Seeing that Mitte's eyes were a little tearful, Long suppressed his emotions and stopped bothering him. He turned around and chatted with other drinkers... Xiaojie did not go downstairs, but hid in his room, practicing the breathing method...
Long discovered that once this kid started to delve into something, he could quickly immerse himself in it.
This is an extremely important trait.
As for breathing… Xiaojie was only trying to learn the most basic quiet breathing, which might bring him a little change, but it was impossible to think of a complete transformation. After all, the power system of the Hunter world was here.
The so-called internal breath coordination of breathing, unless practiced to a very deep level, otherwise, the improvement that can be obtained is destined to be limited. The effect that Long can predict is that it will allow Xiaojie to get started better when he comes into contact with "mind" in the future.
He had originally planned to leave a long time ago, as there was no point in staying. The reason he had delayed until now was not because of Xiaojie... but because he happened to be practicing the breathing technique, and the mountain forest environment of Whale Island was relatively quiet, making it more suitable as a temporary training ground.
……
The next morning, the weather was nice.
Long put his suit jacket on his shoulders, walked away into the sunshine, and waved goodbye to Mitt's family of three.
Xiaojie also kept waving his arms, not showing any reluctance to see Long leave... Everyone understood that it was impossible for someone like Long to stay in such a small place.
Whale Island did not belong to him.
