Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Breath of Thunder

Aiden Brooks was taken aback when he heard the system prompt.

The world extracted was from Demon Slayer, also one of Aiden's favorite animes.

Demon Slayer tells the story of warriors in the Demon Slayer Corps fighting against the ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, in a centuries-long battle between humans and demons.

To be honest, in terms of power level, the gap between Demon Slayer and Bleach is significant. Any captain-level Soul Reaper from the Bleach world could easily defeat the strongest demon ancestor, Muzan Kibutsuji.

But does that mean Demon Slayer is weak?

Aiden doesn't think so. Demon Slayer is only different in destructive power compared to Bleach and other anime worlds.

From a swordsmanship perspective, Demon Slayer is not weak at all. The sword skills honed by the Demon Slayer Corps over thousands of years, especially for killing demons, are superior to those in the Bleach world.

Especially the legendary swordsman, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who created the original breathing technique.

He was a man who perfectly displayed his skills, and in any world, he would be considered among the strongest.

Aiden glanced at the lottery reward interface, and sure enough, besides the Bleach world, there was also the world of Demon Slayer.

"The host still has another chance to draw a lottery. Would you like to draw now?"

"Draw now!"

"Please wait a moment, rewards are being randomly allocated!"

In front of him, two large wheels appeared on the reward panel, spinning continuously. There were six sections in total, five with ordinary rewards and one grand prize, each marked in its section.

The rewards from the Bleach world were: Bakudo #1: Sai, Hado #1: Sho, Hakuda experience +50, Shunpo experience +50, Zanjutsu experience +50, and the grand prize was the Zanpakuto Tobiume.

Tobiume, as Aiden recalls, belongs to the Zanpakuto of Lieutenant Momo Hinamori from Squad Five, a Zanpakuto of the Kido type that can release fireball attacks.

In Aiden's opinion, this kind of Zanpakuto is rather mediocre, and there's no need to obtain it.

The lower-numbered Kido spells are also quite basic.

Aiden turned his attention to the Demon Slayer rewards and couldn't help but hold his breath.

Breath of Sound, Breath of Serpent, Breath of Thunder, Breath of Wind, Breath of Stone.

All of them are breathing techniques, with the grand prize being the legendary strongest technique, the Breath of the Sun.

Breathing techniques are a set of skills developed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni to fight demons with human bodies.

Their main function is to enhance heart and lung function, allowing blood to absorb large amounts of oxygen quickly, which can greatly increase physical abilities in a short time, temporarily granting physical capabilities equivalent to a demon's and improving self-healing.

Following the breathing technique 24/7 for full concentration breathing can continuously enhance physical fitness.

If you want to be strong, your body is the foundation.

Aiden had been exercising almost daily for the past three months, but with limited results.

And in terms of swordsmanship moves, there were no guidelines at all.

The breathing technique is not just a breathing method but a set of combat skills.

To him, acquiring such a breathing technique is not just an addition, it's a significant advantage.

Without hesitation, Aiden immediately clicked the extraction button on the panel.

The wheel began to spin.

"Breath of the Sun, Breath of the Sun, Breath of the Sun..."

Aiden stared at the wheel, chanting fervently.

The wheel's speed slowly decreased, and as it approached the Breath of the Sun, Aiden's heart couldn't help but tighten.

However, after passing the Breath of the Sun, the wheel didn't stop and continued.

Finally, the pointer stopped on the Breath of Thunder.

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Breath of Thunder."

"Breath of Thunder..."

The Breath of Thunder is one of the five basic breathing techniques, and Aiden is quite familiar with it.

Especially with Zenitsu Agatsuma, the user of Breath of Thunder.

Even though Zenitsu could only use the First Form of Breath of Thunder, he surpassed his limits through sheer effort, honing it to an extraordinary degree.

Focus on one point and reach the pinnacle.

"Would you like to claim the reward?"

"Claim!"

A figure suddenly appeared in Aiden's mind, explaining the Breath of Thunder to him and simultaneously demonstrating its moves.

This wasn't the first time this feeling occurred, so Aiden wasn't panicked at all.

After a while, Aiden opened his eyes, and it was as if lightning flashed across them, illuminating the entire room.

"The fastest blade in the Bleach world, combined with the fastest breathing technique in the Demon Slayer world, will result in terrifying power."

Aiden glanced at the gleaming prize again, his focus on the Breath of the Sun.

"Just wait, one day I will obtain you!"

He had learned everything about the Breath of Thunder, but he wouldn't give up on the Breath of the Sun. To become the strongest, he needed the strongest breathing technique.

But learning is one thing; becoming proficient requires intense practice.

Without further delay, Aiden began to concentrate, adjusting his breathing, inhaling and exhaling according to the Breath of Thunder technique.

After about five minutes, Aiden was forced to stop.

"So intense!"

Aiden was sweating profusely, feeling uncomfortable all over. His heart ached, his ears hurt, and even his eardrums throbbed as if his heart was about to burst out of them.

Aiden knew this was partly because he wasn't familiar with the breathing technique and partly because his lung capacity was too weak. He needed to strengthen his lungs and continuously practice the breathing technique to succeed.

There are still many dangers in this world. To protect himself and his guild family, he must become stronger.

"Continue!"
