Chapter 5 Innate Breathing

The image of the big red truck hitting on the head was so clear that the violent impact made Du Yu feel a stream of blood gushed out of his body.

Like a duck with its neck grabbed, he wanted to shout loudly, but was unable to make any sound. The suffocation made Du Yu breathless.

Then the image changed immediately, Du Yu saw his upright body crackling in the raging fire, and the skin on the surface of his body was directly vaporized by the high temperature, and the hot flame spewed out of his body, turning the whole body quickly turned into scorched gray.

"Ah!" Du Yu opened his eyes abruptly, the feeling of suffocation that he could not scream out all the time finally came out smoothly with this terrified shout. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat all over his body.

"Master, are you okay?" The old butler's tired voice came from outside the bedroom door. It seemed that his scream had just now awakened the old butler who was sleeping in the side room.

"I’m okay, you can go back to sleep." Du Yu shook his head in a daze, as if he hadn't fully woken up from the nightmare just now. A night breeze passed through the semi-circular window of the castle, and Du Yu felt cold all over his body. 

"What's going on?" Du Yu suddenly found smooth water flowing feeling coming from his body surface. It was the feeling of wind flowing by his side. The invisible wind was like an invisible stream of water. The clear flow made Du Yu stunned in surprise.

Du Yu discovered that the bedroom, which was originally pitch-black, was so clear. He could even clearly see a big fat mouse nesting in the corner of the bedroom, chewing on the crumbs that he dropped during dinner.

The whole world made Du Yu feel different. What he saw was the original world, but the various feelings from his body were telling Du Yu that this was a world he had never touched before.

Thinking of the unspeakable suffocation feeling in his dream, and then connecting the changes that had taken place now, Du Yu felt ecstasy in his heart. ‘Could this be the Innate Breathing from internal martial arts practice?’ 

It was said that when internal power was practiced to a certain level, one could reach the innate realm.

‘I didn't expect to be able to cultivate into the legendary innate realm in this world. Fortune is the source of misfortune, and misfortune is the source of blessing. I don't know if this is a kind of compensation for my untimely death from god.’

…...

The old Butler was stunned, looking at the young master who moved agilely like an antelope between the cliffs of the mountain. If he had always been accompanying the young master to do this kind of jumping exercise, he absolutely would not believe that the agile black shadow leaping like a falcon among the steep mountains was fat young master people called "idiot".

"Master, Lord Lato is already waiting for you in the hall." The old butler saw Du Yu flip his body in the air and land on a protruding boulder not far away. He quickly ran over to remind him.

Du Yu stood on the boulder, in the mountain breeze, excluding an unspeakable and peaceful aura from all over his body. Seeing this, the old butler couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘why does the young master look so different today?’

After inadvertently discovering that he had reached the Innate Breathing state last night, Du Yu couldn't wait to come to the place where he usually practiced in the early morning. As expected, he felt his body was abnormally light. He even had a feeling that he could float in the wind. With just a thought, he actually leaped a few meters away in the wind.

At this time, under the reminder of the old butler, Du Yu remembered that he had almost forgotten the meeting with his future father-in-law. He landed on the ground, and took the dress from the old butler's hands.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lord Lato Cato was a thin, tall, and thin middle-aged man. When he saw the old butler of Falcon House walking into the hall with a slightly fat teenager, he quickly walked forward.

"Marquis Stan, you are finally here. Please save the Cato family!"

Seeing that there was only an anxious middle-aged man in front of him, Du Yu couldn't help but glance around the hall in confusion. 

The shrewd old butler saw Du Yu's confused expression, knowing that the young master must be upset because he didn't see the daughters of the Cato family. He quickly asked Cato, "Lord Lato, please tell me what happened. I believe the young master will definitely help you. By the way, where are the two young ladies?"

"It was the Caistor House who broke the peace agreement. The head of the house Tern Caistor personally led thirteen knights and a hundred thirty thugs to rob two villages in my territory. They killed more than forty of my farmers and wounded my guard captain. He even threatened that he would take away my daughters. My two daughters were so frightened they were still resting in bed. So they didn’t come with me today.”

Lord Lato was crying while telling the evildoing of the Caistor House.

Although the Falcon House had fallen, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. Moreover, Du Yu still had the title of a marquis and a rich basin. Even if he couldn't compete with Tern, who was also marquis, he can at least intervene between the two. As for the two daughters of the Cato family that were frightened, it was only an excuse provided by Lord Lato Cato.

Seeing Du Yu's solemn and silent expression, both the old butler and Lord Lato Cato looked at Du Yu with speculations, but they didn't know that Du Yu had his own little plan.

‘The peasant soldiers have been training very hard. But there has never been a chance for these recruits to take away a human life. An army that has not shed single blood will always be a weak force on the battlefield! This time this is a great opportunity.’

"If Marquis Stan can persuade the Caistor House to withdraw their army, I will immediately send the two daughters here according to the original marriage agreement, and I am also willing to pay the Caistor House 500 gold coins." Lord Lato saw the hesitant look on Du Yu's face. He thought that his dim-witted future son-in-law was still thinking about his two daughters, so he hurriedly said.

In fact, it was not the Caistor house that broke the peaceful agreement this time, but Lord Lato Cato. He was so poor that he actually secretly organized local villagers to dress up as bandits to rob the caravan of the Caistor house. However, not only did he not succeed in robbing the caravan but he also exposed his identity, which caused the Caistor house to retaliate.

"Okay, I'll send someone to the Caistor House, you can leave first, and wait for my good news." Du Yu could sense that Lato Cato’s tone was not sincere, but he didn't care. In his mind, he had planned to send out his newly recruited army.

Looking at Lord Lato who left the hall hopefully, Du Yu turned to look at the old butler who had an embarrassed expression. This time Lord Lato Cato definitely gave the old butler a lot of things; otherwise, the old butler would not help Lato Cato to arrange this meeting. A thought of wanting to change his old butler appeared in his mind.

Du Yu sighed and said, "Go and find Thun Starr. Tell him that I have something important to discuss with him. "
