The Record of Orc Civilization-Chapter 109 The Third Level Of Breathing Technique

Moku came out of Mak Lampir's room with a still dumbfounded face. What Mak Lampir said was not something he had ever thought of before but when he heard it from other people, Moku feels like he still don't want to believe it.

It's like a conspiracy theory that you make up but you think it's just a wild imagination that was too big. However, but when the experts confirm your theory there will still be disbelief in your heart.

The possibility that the monsters were aliens and not natives of the Meer continent was absurd.

Moku took a deep breath and found one of the wraiths around the bookshelf. Mak Lampir still needs time to decipher the symbols in Nerphyl's painting. While waiting for her, Moku is allowed to go around the Mak Lampir library or return to the astral realm first.

The wraith turned towards Moku who was coming toward him.

"If I return to the astral realm from this place and want to return to the mind realm afterward, will I arrive at the moksha staircase or Mount Merapi?" Moku asked.

"You will arrive at Mount Merapi, precisely in front of the entrance gate of this library. Seven giant tigers will recognize you and invite you to enter" said the wraith. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

If the previous wraith's face looked dry, this wraith's face looked even weirder. His eyes and mouth were tightly sewn together before being patched with a hot iron. Moku wanted to ask "how can he speak without a mouth?", but Moku hold back to do so because he was afraid that it would lead to the impolite question "how was he tortured when he was alive?".

Moku nodded and thanked the wraith.

Moku activates the Kasutpada Kacarma sandals ability and his body disappears from the mind realm.

His body in the astral realm came back to his senses. Moku opened his eyes and looked around him. He saw a pile of trays of meat in front of him. Moku counted the number of trays, he asked before to bring 30 kg of meat per day. Based on this Moku found out that he had been unconscious for more than a week.

Previously Moku had tried to calculate the time difference between the mind realm and the astral realm, but he couldn't be sure because previously he had not calculated how long he had seen Garuda. However, on this trip, Moku counted the time while in the mind realm. He had been in that realm for over 8 hours, so one could estimate that an hour in the mind realm was proximity equal to 1 day in the astral realm.

Moku started eating the meat that was already available in front of him. Some of them had started to rot but Moku didn't care, the orc's stomach wouldn't hurt just because of some rotten flesh, let alone Moku who had evolved twice.

Moku got out of his carriage and saw the caravan had reached Glittering Meadow. The temporary encampment had already been set up and they would immediately depart for Wolf Slope Mountain once the route investigation was established.

Seeing Moku getting out of his carriage, the goblin on duty lowered his head and greeted Moku "Welcome back Ku. I hope you get a bounty full journey"

"Thanks, Joc. Can you call Nerphyl for me, I want to ask something" said Moku.

"Ah, before that Ku, some orc want to meet you before, they say it's very urgent and about the third level of breathing technique" said Joc.

"Hmm??" Moku's eyebrows raised, and he was very surprised because this was beyond his expectation "Who's orc you talking about?" Moku asked impatiently.

"It's Goku who came first, he wait here for two days, and then Boku came and also wait here for two days. But both of them come back because you haven't come out yet" replied Joc.

"Goku and Boku? I know both of them are special but I never know they will become this strong quickly" Moku nodded with a smile on his face, "Joc, call them both to meet me, just the two of them!" Moku repeated the order.

"Yes, Ku!" Joc answered straightforwardly. He turned and immediately ran to fulfill Moku's orders.

Moku was in a good mood, he turned around and got back into his carriage. He couldn't wait to meet the two new Pandeka candidates.

...

Goku and Boku sat cross-legged facing Moku who was sitting casually. Their faces look serious, especially Goku who looks like he has something to say.

Moku looks at Goku and smiles, Moku knows what Goku wants to say. He felt guilty for Laya's death, as a leader of the orc army at that time, Goku let Moku's blood brother be killed.

"Goku you don't need to feel guilty for Laya's death. He is a fighter as well as you, he understands the risks of the battle as well as you, and he fulfills his duty as well as you" Moku said firmly and ended the conversation.

Goku nodded and thanked him.

"I called you because I heard that earlier you guys wanted to see me. What do you two need with me?" Moku asked.

"Moku, after the battle with the five mages, I feel that I have mastered all moves on the second level of breathing techniques and have been able to use inner power more freely" Boku answered Moku's question.

"I feel the same way" Goku also felt the same.

"Really? Then try to hit my palm with all your might and use your inner power too" said Moku while raising his hand.

Boku and Goku glanced at each other before Goku nodded and stepped forward.

He picked up his stance and threw a straight punch toward Moku's palm.

Goku's fist flew and hit Moku's palm. The inner power contained in the fist adds to the severity of Goku's punch.

BUM!!

The carriage they were in shook violently and some of the boards cracked. Moku didn't budge a bit and tried to feel the inner power of Goku's punch.

"Good!" said Moku with a smile then he caught Goku's fist with his fingers and held it tightly "Now let's see how far you have mastered the flow of inner power" said Moku while pouring a drop of dragon prana into Goku's fist.

Goku groaned in pain, he felt like a hot iron had entered his veins. The dragon prana in his body rippled after feeling the foreign dragon prana entering. Before the dragon prana in Goku's body went berserk and destroyed his body, Moku pulled back his dragon prana.

"Good! You can withstand my dragon prana even if only for a moment" said Moku as he released his grip.

Goku collapsed while curled up holding his wrist.

Moku looked at Boku who had stood up and mounted his stance. Moku raised his hand in the same way as before. Without needing to be ordered, Boku threw his punch toward Moku's palm.

Boku's punch goes faster than Goku's punches but contains less power than Goku's fists.

BUM!

Boku's fists and Moku's palms collided and made the carriage vibrate once again. The cracks in the carriage's walls grew wider. Moku smiled and gripped Boku's fist before pouring a drop of dragon prana into it.

Boku groaned in pain but he was able to hold out longer than Goku before falling too and curled up holding his wrist. It seems that even though Goku's strength is greater than Boku's, Boku is superior in inner power control.

"Good! Both of you have reached the third level of breathing technique. Next, I will teach you how to use your inner power and control it to strengthen some parts of your body" Moku nodded proudly, he felt like a teacher who was satisfied with his brilliant student.

Boku and Goku have returned to sitting cross-legged. They stared at Moku impatiently for the next level of training.

"Follow me" Moku said as he walked out of the carriage. Boku and Goku followed closely behind.

Arriving outside, Moku activates Bhimasuta Form and puts on his Kasutpada Kacarma sandals. Moku grabbed the hands of the two orcs and jumped into the air.

Boku and Goku are shocked when suddenly their feet are no longer on the ground. Moku ignored their surprise and continued explaining, "The third level of breathing technique is a form implementation. Silat comes from someone trying to become one with nature, they imitate nature's movements and unite them in a form of martial art.

To master form implementation you must be able to master the inner power in your body and use it to change your form. For that, the only way is to blend with nature. This should be done by meditating for years in a cave or mountain. However, we don't have much time for that, so I modified this exercise to make it faster and match the orc's endurance."

They landed on the bank of a wide river. The river water flows very fast with a depth of up to 2 meters. Moku deactivated his Bhimasuta Form and walked into the river.

His body was neither sinking nor being carried away by the current nor splitting the current. Moku's body seemed to merge with the flow of the river and followed the waves it carried but was still not carried away by the current.

"This is where I want you to train! I want you to be able to stand in this river for a whole day!" Moku said with a sadistic grin on his face.
