Mana breathing technique

Today, as I was reading a book, I stood up, and my head hit the bookshelf.

"Shit..that hurts. Then a book fell on my head".

"Owww...shit". Then I saw the book on the ground and picked it up.

"Hmm, this looks old". I said as I blew on it.

This book was so old, it was a magic spell book and there were at least 10 spells on it,

But two spells caught my eye.

It was a cloning spell and an ice sword spell. Sadly, people with a level 2 mana core can perform it.

I have a level 1 mana core. I achieved level 1 mana core yesterday, and now I need level 2.

That night, I meditated for 3 hours to get to Level 2 core, but I didn't reach it. I was gathering my mana super slowly. I need an efficient method to gather mana, so I spent an hour at the library the next day.

I found a book with step-by-step instructions for how to perform a hard mana gathering technique while breathing.

1. Enter a deep meditative state (no sound, no thought).

2. Control your heartbeat and your body temperature and focus.

3. Feel the mana threads in the air — not just imagine it, but sense them like wind on your skin.

4. As you inhale, manually guide the mana into your mana core

5. While exhaling, circulate the mana through your body

6. Repeat for dozens of cycles until your mana core glows in your mind.

Only a few people in the world can do this,

Practice it in your sleep, running, and more, change the way you breathe to perfect this technique.

"Change the way you breathe to gather mana, and only a few people can do it".

Since then, I have been trying to change my breathing to gather mana, but it was hard. I kept trying but couldn't get the hang of it, but I didn't feel like giving up because I like to challenge myself a little.

The next day, I kinda got the hang of it. Every time I try to breathe, I feel mana is entering my lungs, so I tried to make it enter my core, but I couldn't and coughed up blood, but thankfully that didn't break my core.

After that incident, which only made me keep trying till I succeeded.

Then, an hour later.

"YES, I DID IT. I FINALLY CHANGED MY BREATHING. I CAN FINALLY GATHER A LOT OF MANA". I said excitedly.

Right away, I started meditating to gather mana. I gathered my mana fast and efficiently, even though I was shocked.

"Now it's time to learn my first spell".
