"At worst, if you die inside, you are considered a warrior. You can't be scared to death outside." Ge Gongdao stopped by the pond covered with mealworms and kept cheering himself up. "Hehe, hehe..." said Ge Gong,

You’ll be fine.”

"You talk too much." Zhuang Xuteng took off his underwear with trembling hands, and put his left foot in while enduring the constant pain throughout his body. "Shasha... it's so exciting..."

"How does it feel?" Ge Gongdao asked loudly.

"It's really covered with mealworms, and they can definitely bury you in it - it's much better than a bathtub." Zhuang Xuteng said, holding on to the wall of the pool with his hands, slowly moving his body, and finally putting both feet in. "Don't worry.

Well, mealworms have no mouths and have no ability to bite people at all. I’m not worried about them at all, I just don’t know what this purple potion is.”

"I don't know. Maybe after we finish the training, he will decipher it..." Ge Gongdao gritted his teeth, first put his hand into the pool to feel it, then frowned and took off his clothes. His movements were stiff, trembling and slow, just

Like a dying old man.

Zhuang Xuteng was already lying down, with everything but his head submerged in the pool water. His body sank in and squeezed away the mealworms, so he was wrapped up. The Famine Stranger was right, the squirming bugs caused itching.

.

Ge Gongdao was still in the process of slowly entering the water, and he was still trembling. Although laughter was not suitable for this scene, Zhuang Xuteng really couldn't help it. "Hahahahaha... It's so weird... I'm sorry, I can't bear it."

I stopped, hissing, haha, it hurts and itches! I didn’t mean it, hahaha, does it look a bit abnormal..."

"Damn it, fight!" Ge Gongdao's spirit continued to be tortured by Zhuang Xuteng's laughter, and he couldn't bear it anymore! He pinched his nose with his hands, left his fate to gravity, and sat down. His pool was obviously deeper.

, and there were more mealworms. The water in the pond was rippling, and the Gogong Road was completely submerged and disappeared. Many mealworms were squeezed by him and floated on the water.

Zhuang Xuteng raised his hand to cover his laughter and kept staring at Brother Dao to see if he needed rescue. After a while, Brother Dao surfaced. He slowly spit out a mouthful of purple liquid, closed his eyes tightly, and there were several streaks lying on his head and face.

Mealworm. His body was still trembling, and he was obviously still trying to overcome his psychological resistance. "Don't say anything, feel it yourself..."

"Okay. Persistence and training." Zhuang Xuteng gradually adapted to the itching, and at least he could hold back his laughter. He took his hand away and found blood on his palm, knowing that it came from the skin on his face. He suddenly thought of Meteor, when she was spying for information.

I would get my face covered in blood, but I didn’t expect it to happen to me too.

"I think what you did is right. You can't be shameless. It also needs treatment and should be soaked under the water." Zhuang Xuteng looked around and said, "Brother Dao, do you have a breathing device over there?"

"No...unless it's this." If Zhuang Xuteng didn't need him, Brother Dao would never open his eyes again and let the mealworms enter his sight. "There is an iron pipe next to the pool, maybe you can hold it in your mouth

breathe?"

"If I have one here... Sure enough, it does. It seems that this thing is for us to breathe underwater - why didn't Mr. Ke tell us directly?"

"No... I don't know. Maybe he wants us to discover it ourselves?" Brother Dao shook his body and closed his eyes again. "He must have said that he wants us to understand it ourselves during the process of exploring."

"It seems like this." Zhuang Xuteng picked up the iron pipe and blew it on his mouth. Its length is about 20 centimeters, which is enough for use. "Okay, Brother Dao, let's meet under the water. Don't forget

Practice breathing and feeling your skin."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore, I..." Before Ge Gongdao could finish his sentence, he had already sunk into the water with the pipe in his mouth.

Zhuang Xuteng smiled, held the tube with his hand, and sank down. After a while, the mealworms had crawled all over his body, covering him tightly.

Skin is the largest organ of the human body, the main source of touch, and the first layer of protection for the body. It can be made very hard, or it can be very soft and silky. It is also one of the organs with the strongest self-healing ability of the human body.

Capillaries and nerves are spread throughout the skin, and it is also one of the channels for the body to exchange material and energy with the outside world. Sweating, detoxification, and warming up are all the skin's functions. Now Teacher Ke asked Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao to further develop the skin's ability, so that

It becomes a bridge to communicate with other living things.

It sounds amazing, right? Zhuang Xuteng didn't quite understand how to do such a thing. Teacher Ke said to them: Those people can make their skin not afraid of fire and cuts. The principle is actually the same.

The specially prepared purple potion is the medium, and the mealworms that absorb nutrients through the skin are teachers in another sense. The external conditions for training are already in place, and Teacher Ke also teaches them the breathing method, and the rest is

Look at their inner efforts.

Breathing is the core of dormant martial arts. It is actually a set of techniques for controlling the body. Among the various basic functions of the body, breathing is far more controllable than heartbeat, gastrointestinal motility and hormone secretion. It is actually an entry-level way to control the inside of the body.

.All strengthening methods involving internal organs must start with breathing.

Zhuang Xuteng worked hard to maintain a specific rhythm, focusing on the subtle changes inside his body. The expansion and contraction of the chest, the rhythm and intensity of the heartbeat, the pain and itching traveling in the nerves... Zhuang Xuteng slowly felt that he was becoming uncomfortable.

Like himself, he is manipulating his body from the perspective of a bystander; then, he feels more like himself because his ability to control himself is improving.

They need to let the skin learn to "breathe", just like the existing respiratory system. This is not to turn people into frogs. Human skin can never be a pathway for oxygen exchange. Breathing here has two meanings: one is a method of control, and the other

One is its exchange capability.

Human breathing does not need to be controlled to proceed autonomously. Of course, it can also be actively controlled. Dormant martial arts require skin breathing to this extent. As for the exchange ability, in addition to what the skin can originally do, in the special potion

Under the action of the implant, the skin will have the characteristics of the implant.

There is no implant modification involved. The skin is still the original skin and can still accept new implants. The "implant" feature here refers to deceiving other implants and making them think that the "human body" does not exist.

.

The ability and side effects of the implant are an equivalent exchange. To have strong abilities, you have to pay a price, just like a debt must be repaid, and it must be repaid in time, otherwise the interest will accumulate and kill people. The so-called transfer of side effects

The essence is to deceive the implants and make them find the wrong "creditor". Starting from the skin, the human body is disguised as another implant and joins the ranks of the creditors in disguise.

So who will bear the debt? It is the other animals around us. Famine Stranger uses experimental mice because the biological properties are stable, easy to obtain, and have strong receptive ability. Of course, the best receptors are mealworms that can use skin

Creatures that absorb nutrients, or amphibians with the ability to breathe through the skin - represented by frogs. However, neither mealworms nor frogs can leave the water environment for a long time, and their portability is not as convenient as experimental mice.

You owe money and others pay it back. This is the essence of dormant martial arts. The Famine Stranger is very honest with his apprentice. He said that he is like a parasite. This martial arts is greedy and ruthlessly absorbs everything that does not belong to him.

"Once, all my mice were dead, but there were still many enemies. In order to survive, I covered myself with dying people and used them as stepping stones to kill them out - so this martial art can be used

On any creature that you can have skin contact with." The Famine Stranger said: "But I don't recommend that you use other people. On the one hand, that condition is difficult to achieve, and on the other hand, there will be sequelae - you should practice normal first.

, after I have experienced it, I will tell you the unorthodox things."

Even if it was just to be able to listen to unscrupulous things, Zhuang Xuteng had to practice hard. He continued to control his breathing, and at the same time, he paid attention to maintaining mental concentration and controlling the rhythm of his body in a specific state. The purple potion entered through the wounds on the skin, and while

They treat while acting as a vector between them and the mealworms.

The mealworms were crawling around and itchy, but they still only stayed on the touch, and the effect of absorption and transformation did not appear. Zhuang Xuteng was a little anxious because he was not sure whether these wounds could be healed on time by relying only on purple potion. The next training

Will it be delayed?

After thinking about it, Zhuang Xuteng decided to increase his efforts and activated the binaural enhancement. In an instant, the sound of hundreds of mealworms swimming and squirming rushed into his ears, and his sensory abilities were greatly enhanced. At the same time, the implant

The body has an impact on the body, and the side effects always need to find a bearer. Currently, the bearer is still Zhuang Xuteng, but this time Zhuang Xuteng can use dormant martial arts to pursue the side effects and collect debts from him.

Well, without stopping, Zhuang Xuteng used the Bone Spear Technique with both hands, holding it in his mouth without firing it, to simulate the effect of the Bone Spear Pistol - the same thing as the Eye of Shadow. Although they are necromancy spells, they are also

Including shadow follower technology, the underlying principles are the same. The mental exhaustion and shock caused by mana consumption can also be regarded as side effects, and they are creditors on another level.

Physical injuries, implant side effects, and mana consumption, Zhuang Xuteng found himself three times as many creditors... Now, the debt pressure became clearer, and the accumulation of interest became more intuitive, and he had to continue to control his breathing and adjust his state.

, constantly review the changes in the body.

Perhaps the debt pressure is too great, and they always have to find a breakthrough, and changes occur at this time. The adaptive implants, located in Zhuang Xuteng's arms, were originally designed to alleviate the side effects of shadow guns. It gave Zhuang Xuteng

First revelation.

Just like suddenly seeing a bright light in the dark, Zhuang Xuteng suddenly "enlightened": It turns out that the feeling of skin breathing is like this, or this is how it should be. Through his arms, Zhuang Xuteng found the feeling, and he took this feeling as his

For reference, he looked for a breathing rhythm that could make the feeling clearer and the exchange process more efficient. Then, he let his body enter that rhythm, and then let the found feeling expand from his arms to the whole body.

Interestingly, wherever the feeling extends, the itching disappears. The mealworms seem to have become a part of his body, just like the upper and lower lips touching each other will not make the other party feel itchy.

So, the mealworm was deceived by him to bear the debt...
