In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 935 The Watchers

Lin Qiye nodded.

Luo Sheng fell silent.

"You want to kill her?"

Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment.

She hadn't expected Lin Qiye to ask that question.

After a moment, she shook her head.

"In no mood."

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.

Luo Sheng said in a low voice, "If it were the old me, perhaps I would."

"But now, all I want is to live."

As she spoke, she subconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

It's still quite flat there.

But she could feel a faint but real life force slowly growing there.

Luo Sheng looked at Lin Qiye with a complicated expression.

"My current strength is only one-tenth of what it was at its peak."

Luo Sheng looked at him.

"Aren't you worried about Lei Sha?"

"What are you worried about?"

Luo Sheng paused for a moment.

"Lei Sha has been entrenched in the arena for too long; his connections and resources are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. You're new here, and defeating a high-ranking deacon certainly proves you have talent."

"But having talent doesn't guarantee a good life right away."

"Origin of Qi, cultivation techniques, medicine, competition arrangements, and trading channels—these are all very important."

Lin Qiye nodded.

"So, I need to get used to it here first."

Luo Sheng looked at him and suddenly said, "I can teach you."

Lin Qiye looked up.

"Teach me what?"

"Source Breathing Method"

Luo Sheng said, "When I first came to the Origin Universe, I also experienced a period when my power was suppressed. At that time, someone taught me some basic techniques."

"While it may not be the most sophisticated approach, it will at least save you from taking unnecessary detours."

Lin Qiye looked at her.

"Are you willing to teach?"

Luo Sheng remained silent for a moment.

"I am your woman now."

She paused, her voice lowering slightly.

"Your child is in my belly too."

"I want you to become stronger even more than you do."

Lin Qiye remained silent.

Luo Sheng stood up from beside the stone bed and walked to him.

"We cannot rush to absorb source energy here."

"The primordial energy of the original universe is too heavy, and the physical body of an outsider cannot withstand it. If they forcibly absorb it, at best their meridians will tear, and at worst their physical body will disintegrate."

"You must first get your body to accept the source of energy."

Lin Qiye's eyes flickered slightly.

"How do you admit it?"

Luo Sheng stretched out her finger and touched her chest.

"breathe."

"It's not about breathing with your lungs, but about letting every pore breathe."

"When the source energy enters the body, do not rush to refine it."

"First, let it flow along the flesh and blood, like water seeping into the soil."

"Once the body gets used to its weight, then guide it into the meridians."

Lin Qiye listened without interrupting.

Luo Sheng continued, "The method you used in the training area before was actually a kind of adaptation."

"By forcing the physical body to absorb source energy through combat pressure."

"But this method is too dangerous."

"Recovery is very slow once injured."

"Therefore, you must combine it with breathing techniques."

Lin Qiye nodded.

"Can."

Luo Sheng glanced at him.

"Then sit down."

Lin Qiye sat down cross-legged.

Luo Sheng stood behind him, stretched out her fingers, and gently tapped several spots on his back.

"Don't force your luck here."

"Here, the source energy tends to accumulate."

"And here, if you feel a stinging sensation, stop immediately."

Lin Qiye closed his eyes.

Following Luo Sheng's instructions, I slowly adjusted my breathing.

At first, nothing changed.

The room remained dark and damp.

The flame of the oil lamp flickered gently.

The dark red crystals on the wall emitted a faint warmth.

But after a moment, Lin Qiye felt that the heavy, iron-like Origin Qi around him seemed to have become clearer.

They are not as light and airy as the original cosmic energy.

It looks more like tiny grains of iron filings.

With each breath, countless iron filings squeeze into the body through the pores.

heavy.

Rough.

It carries a sense of overbearing oppression.

In the past, Lin Qiye wouldn't have cared at all.

But that won't work here.

The laws of the original universe are too complete.

The primordial energy contains the fundamental order of this world.

Any attempt by external forces to forcibly intervene will be met with resistance.

Lin Qiye did not rush to circulate the power within his body.

He simply felt it quietly.

Feel how the source energy enters the body, how it is rejected by the flesh and blood, and how it is gradually accepted by the flesh and blood.

This process is very slow.

But it's very stable.

I don't know how much time passed.

A slight vibration suddenly came from Lin Qiye's body.

It was like a door that had been tightly closed for a long time being gently pushed open a crack.

A wisp of grayish-white primordial energy finally began to flow slowly along his meridians.

Lin Qiye opened his eyes.

Luo Sheng withdrew her finger.

"It's already quite good that you were able to do this on your first attempt."

She spoke calmly, but was actually somewhat surprised.

When she first came to the Origin Universe, it took her three whole years to barely get a wisp of Origin Qi into her meridians after trying Origin Qi Breathing for the first time.

Lin Qiye, on the other hand, only took less than a month.

Lin Qiye stood up and stretched his wrists.

He could feel that his body was still heavy.

But the heaviness was less than when I first arrived.

Like a person running in wet cotton clothes, who has finally gotten used to the weight.

"it works."

Luo Sheng nodded.

"I will practice every day from now on."

"Also, you can continue to go to the training area, but don't rely solely on combat."

"Battle can bring out potential, while breathing techniques can stabilize the foundation."

Lin Qiye glanced at her.

"You know a lot."

Luo Sheng paused for a moment.

"I have been here for a thousand years."

"I don't understand, I'm long dead."

Lin Qiye nodded and began to review the "Basic Rules of the Arena".

The rules and regulations are not complicated.

The arena is divided into several parts: the arena area, the training area, the trading area, the living quarters, the treatment area, the steward's office, and the supervisory office.

Newcomers enter the arena.

A battle with a high-ranking deacon.

The winner becomes a senior deacon.

The loser becomes a lower-class gladiator.

Senior deacons only need to maintain one qualifying match per year.

However, senior deacons can challenge each other.

Once the challenge is set, life or death is irrelevant.

The arena is only responsible for maintaining basic order, not for protecting either side.

After reading it, Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the last line.

Once a certain number of wins are accumulated, a contract to leave the arena can be signed.

He frowned.

"Break off the contract?"

Luo Sheng explained, "There is a powerful force behind the arena."

"They select ascendants from various sub-universes."

Those with potential will remain in the arena for further development.

"Those with no potential are just consumables."

"Those who can truly leave either join a larger power or become overseers, working for them."

Lin Qiye's eyes turned slightly cold.

"So this isn't a gladiatorial arena."

"It's a selection process."

Luo Sheng nodded.

"It's also a cage."

Lin Qiye remained silent for a moment.

"What is an observer?"

"A higher status than a senior butler."

Luo Sheng said, "It is said that the Inspectors can leave the arena to carry out missions outside, and can also have their own forces."

"But I don't know exactly what it is."

"I have been ascended for a thousand years, and the highest I have ever seen is an observer passing by from afar once."

Lin Qiye nodded.

"In other words, if you want to leave here, you either have to be recruited or climb to a higher position."

"almost."

Lin Qiye put away the jade slip containing the rules.

"Then let's climb first."

Luo Sheng looked at him.

"You are very confident."

Lin Qiye calmly replied, "I'm not confident."

"I have to do it."

Luo Sheng paused for a moment.

She didn't say anything more.

Because she understood what Lin Qiye meant.

This arena will not allow them to grow stronger quietly.
