"Not completely."
Anyway, [Return of Life] had been given to the family, and Hirito was not shy about explaining it.
"[Eight Trigrams-Tingjin] refers to the perception and understanding of force information, and a comprehensive feeling of discerning the opponent's path of force and changes in movements..."
"It is the hearing, seeing, and touch of the skin all over the body, awareness, and the perception of the mind and nervous system..."
"It requires the coordination of the individual's awareness, hearing, and touch...
"When fighting with someone, whether the opponent's attack is late or fast, hard or soft, sinking or floating, his direction, intention, and motivation, all these situations must be clearly explored. This is [Eight Trigrams-Ting Jin]'s effort..."
Hirika's beautiful little face was squeezed together.
"Uh, that sounds so complicated...!"
Looking at Hirika, who was more than a head shorter than him, she looked very cute with her innocent expression, inadvertently revealed due to her distress.
Hirito stroked her head naturally: "It's okay, take your time, you can learn..."
Before he finished speaking, Hirito realized his mistake and quickly retracted his hand.
"Miss Hirika, I'm sorry, I..."
Hirika suddenly turned around and left with a cold face.
Hirito's heart skipped a beat.
Oops!
This little girl won't go back and complain, right?
What to do?
How to remedy it?
It's all my fault that I couldn't control it because of my habit, ugh...
When they reached a deserted corner, Hirika still had an icy expression, but her jade-like ears slowly turned red...
Gradually, the rosiness spread from the roots of her ears to her cheeks, making Hirika's little face look flushed.
The great elder's voice suddenly sounded.
"Hirika."
"Ah? Grandpa."
Hirika was startled for a moment but quickly recovered.
"Your face is very red, what happened?"
"Huh? Oh... I just finished training with brother Hirito, and my strength is still recovering."
"That's right..."
The great elder nodded in understanding.
After a pause, the great elder considered his words.
"Hirika, what do you think of this boy Hirito?"
"I mean, do you dislike him?"
Hirito had no way of knowing whether Hirika would file a complaint when she returned.
His first priority right now was to practice [Return of Life]. This was an ability that would take time, possibly several years, to master completely.
But the benefits alone were worth Hirito's efforts this year.
When he returned to his yard, a clear voice greeted him.
"Master Hirito, you're back!"
The bluebird had grown much larger, now standing almost three meters tall from head to toe.
Its voice no longer sounded like a child's but more like a teenager's.
This was inseparable from the fact that Hirito often used his own Chakra to help nourish the bird's body.
Moreover, the Death Forest had no shortage of food, and the bird's natural growth rate was why the bluebird had grown so quickly.
Hirito stroked its beautiful green feathers and joked: "Bluebird, you've grown so big that my yard can hardly hold you."
This size could definitely carry people!
Manned...
Ding dong! ~
A lightbulb suddenly went off in Hirito's mind.
Seeing the bluebird's strong body and beautiful green feathers, Hirito had a new idea.
"Bluebird, I'm in trouble right now and need your help."
"Master Hirito, just say the word."
At night.
Hirito practiced the "Pure Breathing Method," emptying his mind of thoughts, letting his spiritual consciousness sink into his whole body.
Although he had handed in the [Return of Life] ability, the "Pure Breathing Method" was the foundation, and the "Return of Life" was just an ability derived from the iterations of this breathing method.
Hirito didn't even know how long it would take to practice [Return of Life] without the help of breathing methods.
Since his initial extraction of Chakra, his breathing method had been updated and upgraded many times.
Now, summarizing, Hirito's breathing method had roughly gone through three versions:
"Pure Breathing Method" version 1.0.
On the physical side, it had a simple effect of stretching muscles and pulling bones.
However, the "Spiritual Chapter" was a highlight, assisting in deep sleep, nourishing the mind and heart, and relieving the tiredness and fatigue caused by using Shadow Clones.
"Pure Breathing Method" version 2.0.
As mental strength gradually increased, combined with a specific breathing rhythm, the Qi and blood in the body could be transported and concentrated to certain organs, warming and nourishing them.
If Qi and blood were concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract, it could promote digestion and absorption of food, aiding physical development, and increasing Chakra.
However, it could not directly strengthen the internal organs.
Finally, the 3.0 version of "Pure Breathing Method" brought about a qualitative change.
With the gradual growth of spiritual awareness, the practitioner could sink their awareness into every part of their body, achieving complete control over every detail.
At this stage, the real essence was achieving 100% control over the body.
As for [Return of Life], it was just a by-product of this process.
But even as an accessory, this [Return of Life] had brought unexpected benefits to Hirito.
For example, [Eight Trigrams-Tingjin].
After sinking his spiritual consciousness into the muscles on the surface of his skin, Hirito gained super sensitivity similar to "a cicada's premonition before the autumn wind blows."
Thanks to his deep control over his body, Hirito's other abilities had improved greatly.
For example, his [Shunpo] and Gentle Fist techniques were becoming more refined, and he no longer needed to form seals for some basic Wind Style ninjutsu.
In fact, Hirito noticed that the range of his Byakugan had increased significantly!
