?After the ''visit'' from the Kingdom''s army, the lionheart city returned to its normal state.


    Since no dispute between the King and the Silver Tyrant appeared, many thought they both reached some kind of conclusion in secret. Or Silver Tyrant simply yielded to the King, or it might be the other way around.


    Nevertheless, those nobles didn''t dare to make any kind of rumors since both parties were strong, especially the King who had influence over the entire kingdom.


    While Silver Tyrant was still garrison in lionheart city without showing any kind of movement.


    Those enved mercenaries also experienced peace after they were no longer required any minor work, and their duty was just to guard the mansion.


    The gunsmiths also returned after setting up Jacob''s personal workshop in three days.


    However, Jacob never appeared and all these things were handled by Harrison, his trusted butler.


    Harrison has also undergone a change in his personality which had turned from timid to overbearing. He was no longer polite with those mercenaries anymore and acted like a real Tyrant''s Butler.


    Jacob was sitting cross-legged in a meditative state on an iron tform while his head waspletely submerged in water. If one looks at the other half, one will find a dark, deep chasm that is probably over five hundred meters deep.


    At this moment, a faint mist was forming around Jacob and absorbed by Jacob''s body.


    He was already in water meditation status for over two and a half hours, and the water''s oxygen was seeping into Jacob''s body without any resistance. However, Jacob''s focus was on reaming breathing and his heartbeat.


    After Jacob started water meditation in his new pool, which was like a deep well now, he no longer experienced anyck of oxygen, and his heartbeat increased steadily.


    However, Jacob didn''t want to just increase his heartbeat with the help of water meditation. He wanted to control it at will so he could step into 1X eleration at will without requiring any medium.


    After practicing day and night for over three weeks now, he finally bore results, and he can now increase or decrease his heart rate up to 8 BPS without water meditation.


    However, to decrease it, Jacob needs to sit in a meditative state. He can''t decrease it while walking or doing some tasks. Nheless, this was still tremendous progress since it would decrease the chances of his heart rate going berserk in an eleration state.


    His biggest problem was how to exit from fluid eleration, so he wouldn''t die once it started.


    Today, Jacob can finally control his 9 BPS heart rate and was ready to enter the 1X fluid eleration for the first time.


    As more, and more oxygen seeped into his body, the more his heart rate increased and made his blood pump at high speed. If it was any normal human, their heart would''ve exploded, and only Jacob could remain expressionless with no hint of worry.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    It also revealed a new aspect of water meditation to Jacob, which was one required an extremely strong body to reach the end of this technique, and an extensive life span was rted to the oxygen absorbed by the body.


    Although he didn''t know the exact changes, this oxygen bought to the body, it wasn''t harmful, and he even felt energized after exiting his meditative state and no longer needed to drink water at all.


    At this moment, Jacob''s closed eyes snapped open as the surrounding water suddenly rippled slightly. His heartbeat was finally 10 beats per second, and he could feel the strange effects on his body and was much more vigorous.


    Suddenly he could feel the blood in his veins circting at high speed and his heartbeat increasing!


    Without wasting even a second, Jacob stood up, breaking the water meditation effect and exited the pool, and quickly sat down in a meditative position again.


    His perspiration was dripping with water drops from his body, and his heart rate was already at 13 BPS within ten seconds. He finally understood why this ability was so dangerous if he didn''t know how to control it.


    He quickly calmed down, but the blood cirction was making it very difficult, but Jacob had ample experience of over three weeks, so he didn''t panic.


    pαпdα`noν?1`сoМ Furthermore, he could feel his heart rate no longer increase from 13BPS after he wasn''t under 20-G pressure, and after spending ten minutes the heart rate finally decreased, but Jacob was filled with sweat, and his body looked slightly skinny.


    After fifteen more minutes, the heart rate finally decreased from 10BPS and slowly returned to its normal state.


    Jacob''s expression was now pale as he opened his eyes filled with lingering fear, "Just to return from 13BPS to normal, I burn so much energy. If I were fighting, it would be a huge problem if I didn''t finish my opponent, or I''ll die under my own heart!"


    Jacob suddenly felt like being bulky wasn''t a bad thing, or he required titan tears or something like this potion to replenish his depleted energy.


    Nevertheless, he still has a huge jar filled with titan tears, and he can spare some to control the fluid eleration. Once he gotplete control over it, he could enter and exit 1X eleration at will without wasting any excessive energy.


    But one thing was obvious: the titan tears were going to y a huge part in learning the fluid eleration of higher levels, and this made the elixir even more precious in Jacob''s heart.


    After replenishing his energy with one titan tear''s drop, this time he tried to enter the 1X eleration without water meditation help…


    Just like that, 30 more days pass as Jacob never exited the pool area all this while without caring about what was happening in the mansion or in the umon region.


    On this day, Jacob finally left the pool area. He looked pale and skinnier, but his eyes were filled with calmness and vigor.


    This time, he headed toward his new workshop in the basement and started working on upgrading the titan sniper and new bullets!
