Crackle~
Because the branches were still sowhat damp, not only was the smoke quite heavy, but the burning also produced a crackling sound.
Skewers of snake at were lined up over the fire to roast, filling the air with a savory aroma.
The snake at that had just been put on the fire was still visibly wriggling with white parasites, but they quickly turned into protein under the fla's high heat.
Tao Yu began to put new skewers on the fire while also starting to tear into one that was already cooked.
Even though he had only sprinkled on so salt, the at was dripping with delicious fat.
He had been sitting there eating for over four hours, and he had consud more than half of a python that was three to four ters long and weighed over fifty kilograms!
And the reason for all this was the successful Deification of the Basic Breathing Technique, as well as using the remaining dozens of units of Yuan Force as fuel for Acceleration.
"Skills will never be able to compare with innate talent. Although Deification consus less Yuan Force, the effect is obviously not as stunning as that of talent.
"However, talent enhances potential more. The stronger I am personally, the stronger my talent becos, whereas skills have a more imdiate effect..."
After devouring another skewer of snake at, Tao Yu felt the sense of fullness in his stomach and pondered that in the future he would need to find a way to acquire a digestion-related skill. To a certain extent, the speed of eating and digestion limited his intake of energy.
Moreover, he only possessed the ability to recover his state of being, but his physique still wasn't immune to diseases, germs, and parasites.
The Basic Breathing Technique before Deification was described as increasing training effectiveness, accelerating physical recovery to a certain extent, enhancing Endurance, reducing physical degeneration to a certain degree, and slightly raising the human potential limit.
It was balanced and standard, without any outstanding features, but indeed could be considered a quality skill available to the average person in the outer city.
After spending over a hundred units of Yuan Force on Deification, Tao Yu simply added the word "Modified" rather indifferently.
Basic Breathing Technique - Modified lv1, can channel one's Qi-Blood to increase training effectiveness, consu Qi-Blood to boost burst power, consu Qi-Blood to enhance Endurance, and raise human potential to a certain extent.
The Basic Breathing Technique that Tao Yu had previously mastered was mainly a breathing skill that was very strict to practice and required guidance.
If one practiced it incorrectly, it could cause lung damage. Once proficient, the primary changes were in breathing, with no special perception of Inner Strength or qi-like phenona.
After all, it was a skill available to his family. While relatively rare and valuable in the outer city, it was not sothing powerful in itself; families with combat talents had Basic Breathing Technique as standard.
However, after completing Deification, the sense of controlling the boiling Qi-Blood coursing through his body like tiny mice was a clear sign of a qualitative change in the skill.
While it had no effects like releasing Qi-Blood outside the body, every circulation of Qi-Blood let Tao Yu feel minor changes in his body. Even if the degree of change wasn't large, with the ability [One Proof Forever Proof], these changes would only increase, never decrease!
At least until he reached the limit of Basic Breathing Technique - Modified, his training efficiency would far surpass that of ordinary people.
Also, with this feeling in mind, Tao Yu's original plan to Deify his [Basic Trap Making] was set aside montarily.
His frail body was definitely his biggest weakness. Surviving for fifteen days in the rainforest environnt, a healthy body was of utmost importance.
The best effects of gym training also co in the first month, correcting postures and forming habits, with personal paraters like bench press increasing dramatically. Now, the Basic Breathing Technique - Modified would naturally be the sa.
So, taking advantage of the pri period right after acquiring Basic Breathing Technique - Modified, when the efficiency was at its highest, Tao Yu decisively used the last bit of his Yuan Force to speed up the training of the Breathing Technique.
Since only about sixty units of Yuan Force remained, accelerating a hundredfold might only last for half an hour, which was not suitable. So he stretched the ti to five hours, adjusting the rate to about twentyfold.
He also reserved the final ten units of Yuan Force for ergencies, in case he got injured or fell ill without ti to eat.
Under Tao Yu's Perception, using Yuan Force to recover vitality and heal injuries was extrely cost-inefficient; ten units of Yuan Force were roughly equivalent to eating a couple of bites of at. The stronger one's strength, the greater the consumption of Yuan Force for recovery, making it quite insubstantial and impractical for regular use.
However, even so, having ten points was sowhat comforting.
Under normal training, it's impossible for a person to practice twenty-four hours a day.
A significant amount of ti is needed for recovery and rest. Those five hours of twentyfold Acceleration are nearly equivalent to a few months of high-intensity training under normal conditions.

However, Tao Yu also felt the increased energy consumption effect of "Deification."
It was a stroke of luck that, thanks to his exceptional eyesight, he found a python hanging from a tree; otherwise, he estimated that the compressed rations in his backpack would have been consud entirely after this intensified practice session.
"Phew, not too bad, the increased physical exertion is just that, the accelerated consumption of Yuan Force wasn't much greater. But the training effect was too outstanding, the accelerated effect in the last hour probably decreased by about thirty percent," he reflected.
Feeling the accelerated effect of Yuan Force gradually fade, Tao Yu stood up and threw a series of punches right where he was. The surge of Qi-Blood made a creaking sound in his bones, and after the routine, his whole body felt refreshed, as if he was several pounds lighter.
But in reality, he had almost devoured an entire python weighing over fifty pounds by himself and had drunk several liters of water, yet his excretion was far from sufficient. His body had visibly bulked up, and the sense of lightness was a misperception brought on by the improvent in his physical condition.
If he had been a malnourished young man before,
now, at the very least, he reached the level of physical condition of an amateur sports enthusiast, and it was a comprehensive one. The decrease in the acceleration effect with the sa Yuan Force consumption in the last hour could be considered a standard certification!
He had beco stronger!
With the explosive power unleashed by the Breathing Technique, his extre burst strength could be even higher.
He would certainly be left in the dust by Bolt in a hundred-ter sprint, but he should be able to catch up and leave him crying within ten thousand ters.
"Aweso~"
After stretching his muscles and feeling the changes in his body's condition, the experience of a healthy body made Tao Yu sowhat reluctant to stop, as he had never felt such a healthy and robust physique in his past or present life.
Getting addicted to fitness was no empty talk.
Picking up the black tal water bottle that was still not entirely cold next to him, Tao Yu finished off the sowhat bitter water from the tree hole, and then went to fill the bottle at the tree hole again before placing it on the fire to heat and boil.
At the sa ti, he skillfully tore strips from the lining of his cotton coat, which he no longer needed, to wrap the remaining cooked snake at.
Although there wasn't much snake at left, he didn't want to waste it.
Among the supplies he had brought, besides the weight occupied by backup ammunition, most were survival items and food. In fact, relying solely on these, he could barely scrape by for fifteen days if he economized and reduced his activities, at least keeping himself alive.
However, the entry point to the Abyss wouldn't change; lingering here waiting for the day of awakening made no sense. Not to ntion the dangers that could arise in the rainforest, if he successfully returned, the next ti he ca back it would still be this place. Would he have to carry a bag of food and scrape by again?
So, having had his fill and completed the initial strengthening, it was ti to consider the next steps.
Although the company was quite wretched, with a level of 'blessing' far beyond his previous life, for now, he still needed to find a place that could offer shelter for his 'weak arms and legs.'
Potential was potential, but strength was strength. Tao Yu, a man of two lives, hadn't beco so delusional as to not recognize his own limits.
After he had packed away the snake at and the water in the kettle began to boil, Tao Yu had the energy and the ti to check the bulky receiver on his wrist.
The green LED screen was filled with a pixelated style, but this device could receive signals from a radio station.
With knowledge from his previous life, Tao Yu knew that long-wave radio could form sky waves through reflection off the ionosphere.
But it was quite clear that in this world full of rifts and fractures, it was uncertain whether such a thing existed. It was taken for granted that so Yuan Force-enhanced equipnt allowed the company's radio station to have an exceptionally long range of influence.
Ti travel, the Abyss, the will of the world; what else couldn't possibly appear?
"I probably still need to climb a tree, right?"
Looking at the tuned channel without any signal, he patted the bulky receiver and murmured to himself with doubt.
Surrounded by dense rainforest, it seed normal to have so interference. Glancing around, he quickly spotted the most suitable tree to climb nearby, thanks to his keen eyesight.
He left his equipnt where it was and threw more branches into the fire before swiftly reaching the base of the target tree with his gun on his back.
Weapons should never be far from hand; his parents had taught him that countless tis.
Looking at the rough texture of the tree bark in front of him, Tao Yu was eager to try out his robust physique. It was ti for a demonstration of strength!
