Something Wicked…

The task of altering breathing techniques isn't just difficult for the sake of it. 

Breathing arts are both the vessels and the guideways through which the river of qi flows to nourish the mind, body, and spirit in perfect harmony. 

The techniques that are the most commercialized are those that are easy to comprehend and require little to no prior training. 

The more advanced the manual, the more martial knowledge and talented is needed to understand it. 

Taira spent some time skimming through both techniques in his possession. 

He was rather thorough with his preparations. 

He mapped out every corner of his brain, the circuitry patterns through which qi flows through his body, the paths through which his blood flowed, how exactly it responded to qi, and even the shape of his soul. 

Once he had those committed to perfect memory, he pulled out a new notebook from within his storage ring.
